CLAMP post

Okay, I still haven't seen the scans because... duh. But this is giving me a headache and confusing me and depressing me. I just want to hug everyone and stuff.

Also, reading chapter 116 of TRC after this is LOL WHUT. Right before Yuuko starts talking about Clow's last words, there's a close-up of Watanuki. Now I'm wondering if by "the dream must end" they're not only referring to FWR's. Maybe it's several dreams. Just... Yuuko, all this talk about people's dreams is driving me mad.

First of all, SQUEEEEE! It's been years. It's finally all said and done when it comes to metacanon. And it pleased me.

Now, one of the things I've seen commented in my flist a lot: the books, and the "I know because of my learnings". See, I've always thought the Mokonas are clever -cracky and childish, but extremely clever you can't really be raised by Clow and/or Yuuko and end up normal, IMO. They're not drooling retards in their respective mangas: quite the contrary. So basically, them knowing stuff by themselves and reading lots of books makes lots of sense.

...Which is why the things shaped as Mokonas in the anime versions of both canons aren't, for me, Soel and Larg. That white Mokona can call itself a Modoki all it wants, but it's quite more annoying and can't recognize an alter version of the half brother. Now, don't get me started on that black Mokona! That thing wasn't only stripped of Larg's powers, backstory, and brain, mind you. It's like a fucking puppy on sugar high jumping off the walls with even less perception of the paranormal than a Muggle. It has the IQ of a real manjuu, and I just cringe at the sight of it.

Moving on...

The Clow/Yuuko interactions are lovely ♥ What's surprising is how the more we advance in the book, the less frequent the acid comments and banter are (onscreen). They just seem to get along better and better. You'd think that, because of volume 1, they'd have more visible issues as time passes by, but no. They're quite friendly. Which makes me think why on Earth Yuuko said she never wanted to see him again. I have a couple of theories, but I'm not sure. I might just wait and see if it shows up on canon.

I wonder if there are spirits of seasons in HOLiCverse. I mean, I know it's a Japanese way of speaking, but you never know. Maybe Clow and Yuuko were pulling an Yamazaki + Eriol routine on the kids when talking about Summer XD

About the Tsuki no Usagi: After roleplaying with Laurus, I sooooo want to write a crossover with Okami. It's like... moon's reflection on water *twitches* Except Yomigami would try to hit the Mokonas with his mallet so it wouldn't work XP

Nyantoro Panyan Banti. It's like every self-insert crossover on CLAMP no Kiseki ends up being in this canon. Unbelievable. However, magicians to be thought to be aliens: LOL! The mental image of Kakyou the cat attacking Clow manor is just random.

"Is it at all possible that the Mokonas are invisible when they're under the umbrella, but that the umbrella itself isn't?"
"...........Oh!"


That was EPIC.

Clow and Yuuko playing chess should be written. I've already read mahjong, so this one is pending. *tosses plotbunny around*

"It was very thoughtful of them. They told me they knitted them themselves."
"Yes. But... Did they have to make ours a matching set?"


They're trying to tell you something, Yuuko. Liiiisten to them.

The library story breaks my heart ;___; As awesome as it is to see CCS canon tossed in, it's depressing to see Clow talking about that.

Yuuko laughs, a little bit like she's crazy. We love it when Yuuko laughs like this! It always means she's thinking up something really fun!

Watanuki doesn't, though.

"Well thank you, Mister Snake. Here. Take this alcohol in return for your favor. You can share it with all of your friends in the forest."

...You're getting animals drunk?!

"Hmm, well. I'm sure Kerberos will say yes [to snowball fighting], but I doubt that Yue will want to leave his spot by the fireplace."

LOL!

"I think I'd warm up much faster with some nice hot wine. Thank you."
"Of course. I've got some waiting."
Clow smiles as he takes Yuuko's coat.

You two get along really well!
Yuuko says, "What? How do you figure?" and tilts her head. Clow just laughs.
Huh? Huh?
But they do! They get along so well!


Shippiest. Scene. EVER.

The fact Clow made Mokona-shaped sweets so often is worrisome. Because Watanuki also does -well, at least once, for Himawari. For me, that's a stronger argument for the Watanuki Is Related To Clow school of thought than "Oh, a boy with glasses like Clow woke us up!" Trufax.

"Say. The two of them sort of look like sumo wrestlers, all dressed up like that, don't they?"
"Ahaha!"
"Well, you know, they say sumos have power in their stomp. What do you think? Should we make them loincloths next year?"
"Ahahaha!"


Joking around! With no sarcasm!

Yeah, I also wonder which one the antique shop is. Is it the one with the suspiciously bat-themed old man? Or maybe it's the shop the mirror was stolen from on the Monkey's Paw arc?

Also, the eagle origins! :D Ever since I saw the eagle from the Valentine's Day arc on the book, I wanted to know the deal with it. Hahaha, it was paid with mochi XD And then they became friends. I hope Yuuko gave it something for fighting karasu tengu that day, because they were bitches.

Now, I was going to bring arguments about how it's chronologically possible for Clow to be alive on a White Day, but then I discovered that in the 60's it was called Marshmallow Day and wasn't as generic. So... nevermind. I'm not touching this one.

Someone mentioned all those meanings of peach trees and blossoms on my flist already, so yeah. That would be explaining Touya's name like WHOA.

I wonder if their last dream is a premonition they got by themselves, or something Clow installed on the hardware.

(...I should stop thinking about Clow as a software engineer any time soon. I even have mental fanon of him researching for random-world-generating functions for Soel. That's... I don't even know what to say.)

"Let's say good night to them, then. Until then."

That's depressing because Clow isn't only saying good night DDDDDDD:

Oh, sorry. I didn't know. Sorry to bother.

I needed something else if you can tell me the order of the images in the book to make it complete. Also, I want to make the acknowledgements more complete, so tell me how you want to appear. And I will publish your page as well since there will be the original.

Is that OK with you?

Until I don't sit down and arrange it with the book in my hand, I have no way to tell. I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait for that.

[identity profile] tiljaunique.livejournal.com 2007-09-05 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm the one who needs to apologize. I didn't want to annoy you. I'm sorry. I hope you're not angry. I won't ask again.

On another subject, what's that on your avatar? I can't recognize it. Somehow it seems strange. And nice at the same time.
Changed the subject, couldn't help it XD

Nah, it's okay.

The icon is from the videogame Okami. It just looks weird because the character is in a weird angle. It's this guy.

It's a guy! I thought it was some kind of bird! Hahahahaha!

That game has seriously weird character design XD But I don't blame you, because he wears a hat that's very bird-like, with faux wings and all.
