What's up with naming your pet after booze?

D.Gray-man #48: the Rinali/Allen goodness is so strong I'm suspecting Hoshino Katsura actually ships them XD I'm so evil I was even enjoying the Rinali angst, even if it was because it made her cling to Allen's arms. I should rot in hell.

Anyway, now that it's out of my system, I can return to my other fandoms.

I finally read Shin Shunkaden. Except for 8 pages, because they were blank on the volume I bought. @#$%&! my damn luck! I'll have to bear those stupid buses again in order to change it.

Overall, I liked it a lot ^_^ It's bittersweet, the fact it's too short and the ending is so open. As a matter of fact, there's not even a proper ending. It's like CLAMP decides to end Tsubasa after they leave a world: you know they'll keep on traveling, but you'll never see it. You get the feeling there's more stories to come, although there won't. And that sucks big time, because the premise and concept is so good and there's a lot to exploit there. It's sad it's a "finished" work... and it's sad there's a 99% there is no SS fanfiction -let along fandom.

Anyway, the two main characters are awesome. Really, they are. Chunyan rocks so much there are no words. A pretty yet ass-kicking girl, never afraid of looking like a tomboy and with high morals and sense of justice. She can be cute when she wants to, but she doesn't like to be considered like that -especially when it comes to Muron's flirts XD She has guts, but she's also sensible.

Muron... God, is he yummy! Seriously, he's really hot, in a classic CLAMP fashion. And also, he's on crack XD The way he flirts with everything wearing a skirt, how he hangs on trees, the chibiness and his bottomless stomach... he's hilarious. And yet, he pnws them all with his l337 Am3n0sa skillz. I'm proud that, after the Kujaku surprise, I knew what Muron was from the moment I saw him. Never, ever trust genki random travelers on crack in old CLAMPverse: they're always the ones behind the whole plot. Oh, and the way he looks in that white Korean outfit... *drools*

And the Muron/Chunyan dynamics are just the greatest thing XDDD Chunyan keeps being annoyed by Muron's whimsical ways, but we know he wants him ^_~ Their interaction is always like this:

-Enter female character(s) [even Chunyan's mom! the player actually flirted with her before things happened]
-Muron flirts and/or tells her (them) she's (they're) beautiful.
-Chunyan has a jealous fit and insults him, probably in SD XD

or:

-Muron says nice, lovely things to Chunyan
-Muron tries to hold her in his arms or hold her hand or something romantic
-Chunyan blushes
-Chunyan punches him in the face, calling him perverted or shameless, still red
-Muron whines and tells her to let him know when she's going to hit him XD

She's sooooo in denial. And even if he's a gentleman with the ladies, it's obvious he has feelings for her. They wouldn't be traveling together if they weren't digging each other.

The two stories are great. It's so legend-like. CLAMP could've done so many nice ministories with that plot, and yet... this is the reason why the manga wasn't so popular. And now we'll never know who does Muron want to introduce Chunyan to. (parents? XD a relative? a friend? a teacher? some noble?)

Fufufu, Allen/Rinali is soooo canon, and is made even more by the recent chapters! *___* In 47, did you see her expression when she was calling out to Allen and rushing to rescue him? And yeah, in 48, she is in Allen's arms!!

*is a happy fangirl*

The evidences in canon are suffocating, yessss XD

I suspect that you are correct about the Allen/Rinali shipping. >__>;; It's something that makes me squirm quite happily. I think the two of them deserve each other, in the best sense of the phrase. <3

They're so damn cute. XD;; And Allen is the most adorable gentleman. <3

Adoro Shin Shunkaden, y al igual que tú me quedé enamorada de esa historia y esa maravilla de protagonistas. Hay muy pocos personajes femeninos de CLAMP que me gusten, pero Chunyan es la personificación de mi personaje femenino ideal, decidida y con carácter.
Y por supuesto es imposible no adorar a Muron. Y a los dos juntos. Hacen falta más Chunyans y Murons en el mundo de CLAMP.

Y...y no hay derecho a que la dejaran inconclusa. T_T Tengo gafe con CLAMP. Excepto con Tokyo Babylon, nunca terminan las séries que adoro y empiezan con nuevas que no me interesan. Bleh.

Por cierto, tú una vez hiciste la FL de Muron/Chunyan, no? Me quería unir y ya la habías cerrado T_T Evil, ahora estoy tentada ;_; No hay FLs de Muron, Chunyan, ni Muron/Chunyan. Es impresionante la escasa cantidad de FLs para obras viejas de CLAMP (con la pila de personajes en RG Veda, es inaceptable que hayan como 4 FLs de personajes y 2 de relaciones).

Al menos las series que no terminan casi siempre es por problemas de editorial/revista y no por falta de ganas. Te has enterado de la revelación del por qué el hiatus de X? Dan ganas de matar a Kadokawa ¬___¬T

Sí, la cerré hace poco en un intento de reducir mi número de fanlistings, obsesión que tengo. Pero vamos, yo encantada de verla renacer de nuevo. *__* O de Chunyan, o Muron. Y de los personajes de Rg Veda, como dices, precisamente mis favoritos (Ryuu-Ou y Ten-Ou) no tienen fanlisting. >__<

Pues no me he enterado del porqué del hiatus de X, estoy bastante desconectada del mundillo ya. Miedo me da, que pasó?

No, que en la Antología CLAMP reciente ellas insinuaron de una elegante manera que es que tenían problemas con la editorial constantemente porque les quería hacer que cambiaran y/o quitaran las escenas con gore y muertes bestiales. Y que parece ser que el final es tan pero tan engorroso que ellos querían que lo cambiasen porque ya la cosa no parecía shoujo de la Asuka, etc. Y ellas que no, que no lo iban a cambiar, que si no los sueños de los personajes no iban a cuadrar y tal.

En otras palabras, que el hiatus es por culpa de los editores hijueputas de la Kadokawa ¬¬T Que el fandom las ha puteado sin motivo, y que ellas prefieren detener la historia por un tiempo a adaptarse a las peticiones de sus superiores. Viva la libertad artística!

Anyway, the two main characters are awesome. Really, they are.

So totally agreeing. After reading it recently, I realized how much I missed those kind of kick ass female character from Clamp (not that I like Muron any less, but his type is more common ^^)

Yeah! Chunyan is like this coctail mix of several elements from great CLAMP females. However, I say it's refreshing to find someone like her when you have to deal every day with characters like Kobato, TRC!Sakura or Himawari *shudders* It's like their female characters are going backwards and getting worse by the minute. If it weren't for Yuuko, I'd lost my faith in Ohkawa...
