I would say Clover should be 2 but otherwise fair enough. I like that the multitie in #7 is where the "I was enjoying the ride a lot and loving characters in it until people/chara development died and hated the ending" go to fuck themselves
basically all the one-shot volumes and mostly cheerful fluffy shit are spared from the salt purge
oh just. I am always surprised just how many Clamp series there are
and I wonder what my ranking would look like
I like the pain I guess sob
I used to like the pain but the Tsubaholic experience made me a bitter person. I had to get a divorce and switch fandoms to soothe my soul
Haha I feel you but I am like that selfdestructive addict that never managed to get away lol
it was my main fandom for years so it was rather awful to fall out of love. to this day I still have a huge sad attachment to CCS, but I burned a lot of bridges
I still reread X/1999 like once a year and cry every single time. TRC makes my brain hurt but I still love these characters way too much.
like, I had a xxxHOLiC website. I was a medium name fan on Livejournal, I think. but the things they did with the plot of TRC and HOLiC were so confusing or bad at some point I just. looked for replacements
with some TRC characters I can understand still liking them like Kurogane and Fai, although not the Sakuras and Syaorsns because I stopped keeping track. but what they did to Watanuki was just... made me hate everything about a favorite character of mine
*keeping track of which is which, I mean
they also mindfucked with CCS canon without noticing the plotholes and that pissed me off more than anything?
with X, I honestly think the "hiatus" made me stop caring. I know if I reread it today, my tastes are now so different I would shrug at somethings in there I loved
X is the reason I laugh at Akayona kids being so shocked at the gore in a shoujo! Zeno's brand isn't that shocking after a woman exploding for giving birth to a sword
sorry for ranting, I had a complicated divorce but sometimes I take some characters to hang out on the weekends
I don't have anything else to say that you haven't said already but HELLO I'M HERE FOR THE SALT
the number 7 tie is magical in the fact they all had the HOES MAD (I'M HOES) endings, yup
But surprisingly the same things still make me really emotional on X. Especially Nataku. I just cry my eyes out at some point
And I really get your issues with TRC and holic. I feel very much the same way. But I am clinging on to Fai whom I have played for a long time and Kurogane very stubbornly
I think I still only like Kurogane
and man, Karen and Nataku were good shit
lol a mi me quedo súper alto the one I love
bah, early CLAMP was most of my top ten
yo no lo leí, lo de la age difference me squickeó
creo que le aguanto la morally nasty age difference a las cosas en CLAMP (y otros canons) cuando hay magia de por medio, pero cuando es gente normal me deja un poco eugh. see: Eriol/Kaho? it's okay, sorcerers. FujiNade? a-al menos se casaron pero um. Terada/Rika? HELLO, POLICE?
excepto OG Ashura/Yasha. THAT'S NOPE
yo no me acuerdo mucho pero eran nice little containes stories
(I did like Suki Dakara Suki que es en lo que estás pensando vos)
eso me pasa con Shirayuki. no recuerdo nada pero eran cool
nope. the one I love son one shots muy muy cortitos about normal relationships
oh man the age differences. Terada/Rika still ... gives me the creeps tbh. It's portrayed as super pure but .... hhhhggggnnn
I mean I guess Seishiro/Subaru kinda has a similar age difference to Fujitaka/Nadeshiko ...?
and then there are the crazy age differences that don't matter /glancing at KuroFai
with seisub in the end the age was the least problematic issue going on lol
kurofai is pretty different because mentally and physically they're both adults, so there's no squick whatsoever
and really, should I even judge ships when I RPd old immortal man trapped in a teen body/17 year-old girl?
but Rika/Terada is just Bad, Scoob
RIKA/TERADA IS THE BADDEST THERE IS BECAUSE ON THE YEAR 2020 OF OUR LORD CLAMP STILL KEPT IT CANON INSTEAD OF LETTING RIKA GROW OUT OF IT
i'm super okay with their old shit because it was The Dramatic Flair of The Decade and you know me, i'm a simply gal, i like my old school shoujo with their epic messedupness
but ccs was super mundane despite its magic
I mean if she was like 16 and he was 14 years older than her it'd still be weird? still be kinda wrong bc teacher/student relationships are just ... wrong? but this is a whole new level
sadisticsparkle: from the last i read of clear card, rika went to another school (GOOD) but sakura still made the "woah so matured!!!" and there was something to rika still trying hard to become a lady for HER SPECIAL PERSON!!1
if someone has kept up with clear card i beg to be corrected
but it's clamp. so i have my doubts
yeah it is referenced even if she doesn't appear in person
I just read the Rayo Confuso summaries and I don't recall atm
also, now that we're adults, I can understand why it took years for the Amamiyas to even want to talk to Fujitaka. this fucker got their cute girl pregnant at what, 15 or 16?
I like him as a dad and a person but uuuuuuh dude. marrying her didn't make it okay
she made a career modeling because she was pretty but he literally kept her from pursuing anything else beyond that
y el loco del hijo sale a los 14 con una veinteañera for a while
it's a miracle Sakura got a boyfriend her age. and there was Clow and Eriol shipping her with the alter ego of his guardian even if it makes no sense (and we're back to TRC plothole salt again)
until clear card is good and over i refuse to let me guard down re: those two
there's always chance a kobato is pulled
speaking of which, a big part of why CLAMP can't make me like Akiho is the awkward vibes I'm getting from her relationship with Kaito. can we... stop... or confirm they're found family but I DOUBT IT, IT'S CCS
at least from her side it's an obvious crush
i simply lost the patience for another moe blob thing
she's overlapping too many cute points with the ones we already have
she's Sakura copypasta and even they made it the plot
Ohkawa: but she reads books! she's obviously not like Sakura-chan wink wonk
everyone in the cast: she's fucking Sakura 2.0
they are worse than twins
