taotrooper: It's a polar bear dancing the hula; your argument is invalid (Yuuko / ♥)

I'm Internet-less for a day, and what happens?

Of course, CLAMP does fanservice *I* can fangirl at.

King Clow, bitches. On the cover. Hot stuff.

Because it's KING Clow. I'm getting all peeved because people are going all "OMG CLOW REED"(*), when his clothes are so painfully, obviously Clowian. Don't you see the neck pattern? And the gypsy coins? Sure, the cloak has a sun and shit, but it doesn't look like the one on the Reed robes.

Anyway, I could tell you I've been kind of absent because I've been at my mom's, and I was too lazy to comment on stuff or make posts, and how my face is a horrible zone of pain again thanks to The Right-sided Molar (which will be removed when I've taken enough antibiotics, that being several days after the Potterdammerung).

Speaking of the Potterdammerung, these two posts seem useful for the battle against spoiling jerks:

- Because you CAN prevent forest fires
- Troll protection!

Have I told you I'll maim you if ANY OF YOU posts spoilers outside LJ-cuts or in my journal? I WILL. I promise.

And this is what I did while I had no Internet:



Revamped the Spirited Away fanlisting and redid all the 50x50 codes! I particularly like the hover thing at the menu. The top image looks kind of LQ, though.



(*) And unless you subscribe to the King Clow = Clow Reed theory (**), he's not. Trufax.

(**) I dislike that theory a LOT because I believe it cheapens the plot, leaves plotholes in the other mangas Clow appears in, and every possibility for a Clow country version of a CCS adult woman as the queen of Clow becomes creepy by default (***). And I'll kick puppies (****) if CLAMP makes it canon.

(***) "My beloved queen, if We was born again, We'd fall in love with you again... And actually, guess what: We will!! :DDDD" (<- Also known as "I'd hit that... again, in my next reincarnation, yay!")

(****) Preferably, cousin Merce's Scottish terrier. He isn't a puppy, but I'd kick him.

Ahahaha XD The FIRST person I thought of when seeing the covers was you! I was so sure you'd love it 8D

*Still ecstatic over the cover!* I agree that it's King Clow. For the reasons you said - and King Clow had a sun and a moon thingie in one splash cover too, I think? >> Maybe?

Even if I'm just getting pics mixed up - Seishirou has an inverted pentagram in Tsubasa as well, it's not surprising that they'd give Clow a moon & sun pattern :/

Thanks, I banned all those people. It's ashame that people would purposely try to spoil the book for everyone else. :(

Thanks for those links! :D I'm getting the book on Saturday, but there already are spoilers out there so I'd better be careful.

I'm getting all peeved because people are going all "OMG CLOW REED"
... what about the ones who realized he's King Clow, but are worried because they really really DO NOT WANT him to be Clow Reed too?

I banned all those people and delayed anonymous commenting. I also disabled email notifications on all my public posts. Thanks. :)

Damn, that's a lot of trolls. Some bitter ones, too, to judge by the usernames.

Good luck with the tooth removal, and tell me how it goes. I have one of my wisdom teeth coming in, and that's motivated me to make an appointment by proxy to get them removed ASAP.
