Give me a fucking break

IF THAT COVER MEANS ANY OF THE TWO POSSIBILITIES I'M THINKING? I SHALL WANK. I EVEN PREFER HIM TO BE ~~KYLE'S~~ A CLONE OR SOME WEIRD SHIT LIKE THAT.

No, really, it's not epic. It's fucking boring.

I'LL HELP /o/

It'd be SO LAME omfg.

I think that, in CLAMP's mind, these kind of OMGshocking revelations sound all epic and unbelievably twisted, when it's actually all confusing and WTF (or LOL sometimes) on the outside.

It reminds me of this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cWWtb2uDDfE) (it's a parody of M. Night Shaymalan's movies, but lately I keep imagining Ohkawa saying "what a twist!" in the same fashion XD)

... I'm very out of the loop in TRC fandom so I don't know what are those possibilities.

But knowing our tastes? I'd probably agree with you.

*hopes Watanuki brings some sanity into TRC and not the other way around*

Oh, I was talking about the possibilities *I* can come up with in worst-case scenarios. One is the one at Jlarinda's post (him being a feather). The other is that the reason why his "existence is not possible" or something is because a feather is keeping him alive.

Either way? LAME.

... yeah, I wouldn't like that either.

I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to possibilities for Watanuki. Hell, I wouldn't even mind it if it was all a dream, as long as they pulled it off well - I'm a sucker for fictional-being-turns-real stories, and I got hooked because of the TNES vibe after all. (I sometimes fear that this will happen and I'll be the only HOLiC fan who thinks it's a good idea.)

What would bother me about "Watanuki is a feather" is that I want him to be special because of his own side of the story. Obviously he's got a lot to do with TRC, so I'm not in the I'LL QUIT CLAMP IF FEATHERS ARE INVOLVED AT ALL camp. But if a feather is the only thing that makes him special? Cue wank.

Also!

If he's in fact a feather but gets a really awesome Ende/Gaarder/Tutu-like storyline where he Becomes A Real Boy, and it's well done, then I might just forgive them.

"All the HOLiC storyline was just to keep Sakura's feather safe" = lose.

"All the HOLiC storyline was Yuuko trying to save Watanuki's life by teaching him how to make himself real" = might just be win if they get it right.

[...] I want him to be special because of his own side of the story. [...] But if a feather is the only thing that makes him special? Cue wank.

That's pretty much my thoughts. I'm not sure if CLAMP can pull a good story with the feather just being a small part of the bigger picture and not Watanuki's entire reason to be. It's true there's potential if they don't resort to their "He had a twin? She was also cloned? What a twist!!! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cWWtb2uDDfE)" blah revelation stupidity. With other authors I might believe it, but they're not what they used to be recently. Of course, if they do something TNESish I won't wank.

... I wonder if I want to know.

The latest TRC deluxe cover has Watanuki holding a caged Sakura-feather. Fandom fears the worst about him, like CLAMP going "LOLOLOL HE WAS A FEATHER ALL THIS TIME XDDDD" or something in those lines.

... WHAT?

I WILL HATE CLAMP IF THEY END UP DOING THAT. SERIOUSLY. D:
