And with that, ranting ends

Your dominant hues are cyan and blue. You like people and enjoy making friends. You're conservative and like to make sure things make sense before you step into them, especially in relationships. You are curious but respected for your opinions by people who you sometimes wouldn't even suspect. Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it. Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up. |
Not quite true, but the color itself is so me.

tintinalle's requested rants. About Clow and his derivations.My first impression of Clow? I didn't expect it. I thought he was going to be a vague plot device the characters only mention. I never expected flashbacks, apparitions, reincarnations, crossovers... Then again, I didn't expect Yukito's little secret. I was still on shocked (and drooling) over Yue when I got introduced to Clow. I was not prepared for a second surprise.
What did I think? Well, it was along the lines of "That's Clow?! But he doesn't seem like an old, white-bearded wizard! Or like the maniac Kero said he would be! Heck, he's even hot!" (before you hit me with a hammer,
laurus_nobilis, that was the year 2000. I hadn't read LOTR or HP at the moment, and I was thinking in wizard cliches.) I can't say he didn't look like I pictured him, because I didn't bother picturing him at all. I had no clue how he would look like. I figured he would've died old, so he'd look old when he died, not like a thirty-something-old. CLAMP, thou art sneaky.I started watching CCS religiously after episode 46, because I was hoping I'd see Yue again. Shameless fangirl I am. My first reaction to Eriol during the third opening and it was the following "Wait! I saw two new characters! Go back, go back, go back!" It happened oh so fast. Eriol grew on me. It wasn't "anime crush on bishounen at first sight", because I still was fixated on Yue. But Eriol amused me a lot, because he was a mystery, and he was so familiar. He reminded me of Xelloss from Slayers. The sneaky, secretive antagonist who gets too close of the good guys, (painfully) smiles a lot, but when they turn around an evil smirk would appear on his lips. Actually, when Eriol said (more or less) "it's a secret" on the skii episode, I died of laughter.
I loved episode 68. After meeting Clow, I thought he was
When did I "fell in love" with them? No clue. I suddenly discovered I was passionated about them while writing bad fanfic (my first fics were BAD, so bad). And when making my CCS shrine in Spanish, the love became more obvious. The manga, which I read later, confused the crap out of me, but hey, I'm a mental masochistic so that's a good thing!
No, I haven't forgotten about Fujitaka. I was saving him for later. After mentioning the manga, that is. Even though he was so minor on the anime, I thought he was great. I wanted Fuji to be my dad! T_T Really, I could be a lost Kinomoto! I wear glasses! My hair is brown and wavy! I suck at sports and crafts like Nadeshiko! Adopt me, adopt me, I look more like a daughter of yours than Touya! *g* But I adore manga!Fujitaka much more. The way he *knew* when his kids had something in their mind... just adorable. And his ending! I just want to cry over the fluff! Fuji/Nade is the only "romantic" ending on #12 that makes me squee like a maniac.
And when I thought I couldn't get obsessed any more, it happens. XXXHOLiC. Watanuki didn't turned out to be Eriol's lost cousin (I guess...) like I was hoping, but who cares! Clow-Clow-Clow-Clow! (I sound like a chicken O_oU)
Now let's go to the other Clow that killed my brain: the one from Clow Kingdom in TRC. You see, it was enough of a headache finding out Fujitaka was Syaoran's adoptive father on that world. Then, who was Sakura and Touya's father? He could be anyone.
But it wasn't. I had to be an alternative!Clow... I went through a period of a week with "Clow was the king of Clow, OMG!" as my nick on MSN messenger. And I thought the Kimihiro/Harry paralellisms were killing me? Think again! I still have the trauma of seeing king!Clow and traveler!Fujitaka one next to the other. The scars won't heal, people, and as long as CLAMP won't stop throwing magician!Clow into random dialogs at both TRC and HOLiC, they never will.

XD Except that, as funny as Fujitaka/Sonomi would be, sometimes hate is just hate. (Especially with the dead wife/obsession still floating around O_O)
Oh, and now I realize I forgot something! When did I "fell in love" with them? Heh...

Ooh, I got a plotbunny! I wonder if I can pull it off on a Clow/Yuuko "kiss", or in any drabble whatsoever.
