my. long. long. long ramble about trc. cuz im bored.

5/17/24

PLZ READ THIS FIRST!!!

Heh. this is gonna be very long i think. since i love trc. i have reread it. for the past. 4 years. i need to write this because my friends hate it when i talk about trc because i.. take a tad too long. and i need to. let it out. RIGHT NOW!! ALL OF IT. ALL OF MY OPINIONS ON IT. the fandom. the anime. the manga. random stuff. eveyrthing. i might spoil stuff too. also. im bad at explaining things... but its whatever because whenever i tell people to read trc they never do! im gonna talk about... all of it. so. ummm ya.

Ummmm also there are probably going to be tons of grammatical and punctuation errors so i sincerely apologize if it sounds like im writing in an alien language sometimes.... usually id fix this sort of stuff but errr when it comes to talking about trc... i kind of... heh.. type at errr SUPER DUPER CRAZY SPEEDS. which leads to ERRORS (except when it comes to names. and stuff.) if you dont like reading i suggest you get OUTTA HERE!! ANYWAYS. now begins the best blog post YOU'VE EVER READ!!!

What is trc?!?!?!?!?!!?

Excellent question. Trc is short for Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle.. or more specifically.. Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE. except im too lazy to type it like that (IM NOT A FAKE FAN I SWEAR. please.) ANYWAYS!! Its this really super duper duper awesome manga written and illustrated by CLAMP!! (aka Mokona Apapa, Tsubaki Nekoi, Okhawa Ageha, and Satsuki Igarashi!!)It was serialized in the Weekly Shonen Magazine from May 2003 to October 2009.. (i think.)

ALSO. many characters from other clamp works appear such as Syaoran and Sakura.. if that wasn't obvious... theyre originally from cardcaptor sakura!!! ALSO. KENPI. TAKEPON. AND ERII SHOW UP!! (from duklyon.. kenpi is so me...) WAIT ALSO. why do these other characters show up? good question!

in trc theres this whole thing about alternate universes and stuff and dimensions.... and like... people you may recognize can exist in like EVERY DIMENSION!! and theyre essentially the same person except they belong to that dimension if that makes sense...

like for example, theres tomoyo from cardcaptor sakura. Shes super fashionista and loooves sakura... and she records videos and has a zillion bodyguards, her mom has a cool company, AND SHES RICH! but in another dimension, piffle for example, shes there and she still does fashion stuff... shes rich... she loves sakura.. has a million bodyguards.. except this time its HER COMPANY!! called piffle princess.. cute!

shes ESSENTIALLY the same person except she doesnt know about anything from ccs.. if that makes sense.... like she wouldnt know sakura was a magical girl and stuff because shes not from tomoeda!! shes from piffle!!

Also, like i said, sakura and syaoran are some of the main characters of trc. In this, sakura is the princess of clow country but she acts just like the sakura from ccs, shes clumzy and cute and fun and awesome! she also looks the same (obviously) but shes the PRINCESS OF CLOW COUNTRY!! she doesnt know about tomoeda and stuff (yet. heh.) or kero.. or clow cards.. etc... i hope that makes sense, like the same person can exist in ANY DIMENSION!!! but theyre like FROM that dimension i guess.. 


Cool photo... heh...

 

Tell me about trc already!!!!!

OK SO.  Basically, right now we're in the country of clow... a super deserty little town.. its cool! Like i said, sakura and syaoran live there. The beginning starts with syaoran and hes coming home after doing archeology stuff (cuz in this dimension he does that stuff!) (also hes a little nerd.. we love you syaoran!!!!) OK ANYWAYS. syaoran looks at this photo of his dad and hes like hay im home! (spoiler alert his dads DEAD. boohoo... err wait.. is he..?) ANYWAYS! then he gets a knock at his door.. its SAKURA! his CHILDHOOD BFF! and SOULMATE! except they havent confessed yet.. tsk.. OH ANYWAYS she jumps onto him!

so cute! SO soulmates.



anyways! syaoran calls sakura "sakura hime" cuz shes the princess and hes suuuper polite but sakuras like NO!!!! its just SAKURA. cuz we're bffs..

look at them btw.

 

ANYWAYS! sakuras like im sooo glad youre back! and when i told my brother (toya) i wanted to see you.. he got MAD!! (cuz he HATES SYAORAN!! well.. not HATE hate. but you know how it is.. hes just overprotective of sakura and stuff bla bla bla also hes cute ANYWAYS) then shes like SIIGH i wish we could see each other all the time... and syaorans like.. omg. me 2.. we're always so busy.. youre a princess.. and.. im... busy with rocks.. and these ruins... 

And THEN! Sakuras like.. sigh.. you know.. i think about you..a lot.. blush blush... and then syaorans like.. omg.. me 2.. and then sakuras like.. err... you.. you.. you.. you know.. i .i.. i..

OMG! (sorry giant image.)



SHE WAS INTERUPPTED IN EHR CONFESSION!!! NO!!! It was the castle bells.. which means sakura has to hit the hay.. And then sakuras like i bet toya did that on PURPOSE! And then sakuras like i guess i have 2 go.. but ill TOTALLY TELL YOU TOMORROW! FOR REALS THIS TIME! And syaorans like. ok... sigh..

Anyways Sakura tries sneaking home without toya noticing but he totally does.. and they quarrel cuz toyas like YOU SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM THAT... STUPID PET ROCK OWNING NERD! and sakuras like NO WAY!!! HES MY BFF. BEST. FRIENDS. FOREVER!!! And then yukito shows up and breaks up the fight ya average yukito stuff... toya bullies sakura a little longer and then runs away in RAGE!! And then toya and yukito have a romantic scene...

they arent friends anymore.. cuz theyre SOULMATES.



Oh. AND THEN!! Yukitos like err well.. you know.. i think syaoran and sakura were meant 2 be... and soemthing crazy might happen soon. (The high priest has the ability to see the future to some extent!)

ANYWAYS. Its night time now and sakuras on the balcony thinking about syaoran and bringing lunch for him while hes at the ruins hes studying!! And then shes like.. heh.. then.. ill tell him..that.. i.. love.. him!

Thats when she hears.. a very nice noise coming from the ruins! Shes totally drawn to it.. and sees something weird for a moment..

Wat could this be..?



Heh.. youll see in a moment..

ANNNYYYWAAAYYYS!!!!!

Its a new day! And syaorans at the ruins... studying some weird.. wing symbol in the ruins.. omg.. similar to the thing sakura saw.. AND SAKURA COMES OVER WITH LUNCH!

Look at them btw.



ANYWAYS! Syaorans like WAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? ITS SUUUPER UNSAFE!! i dont want hte princess.. to get hurt.. And then she sees the wing symbol on the ground and acts funny again.. she seems pale.. and emotionless all of a sudden.. and shes like.. this symbol.. i saw it before.. AND THEN IT STARTS GLOWING!! AND THERES AN EARTHQUAKE!!

And then in the castle toyas like.. is this an earthquake..? and yukitos like.. this aint no earthquake.. and they hurry over to the ruins.. But just as they get there these RANDOM EVIL GUYS SHOW UP! and theyre fighting with yukito and toya!!!

In the meantime.. Sakura starts FLOATING!! and grows wings.. and syaorans like WTF!? (what the fart!) and then he sees her wings turn into a ZILLION FEATHERS AND FLY ALL OVER THE PLACE!! (a little familiar.. if youve read ccs b4 and know wat i mean..)

ANYWAYS! Then sakura starts getting cold.. is she.. dying..!?

Then we see some ugly ass old guy (excuse my language!) and hes like.. heh.. so it begins... and err BACK TO THE RUINS! syaoran takes sakura and runs out of the ruins and sees toya all messed up and yukito!! and hes like.. make sure nothing happens 2 sakura. and yukitos like OMG! and he checks on sakura.. turns out all her memories.. are GONE!! and have been spread out into a zillion dimensions! and without her memories.. she'll.. DIE!

syaorans like oh farts.. this isnt looking good! i wont let her die... so yukitos like OK! ill send you to someone in another dimension who can help you. they call her the space time witch.. if you tell her everything SHE'LL BE ABLE 2 HELP YOU! yukitos not going cuz he doesnt wnat toya 2 die.. and so... syaorans off 2 this other dimension... and he sees a HANDSOME WOMAN!! 

then hes like.. WILL YOU SAVE SAKURA?!!

AND THEN WE'RE IN A DIFFERENT DIMENSION! unrelated to everything else.

AND. now we see.. my.. favorite.. character.. of.. all.. time... besides kenpi of course! ANYWAYS! we're in suwa now. a very traditional looking place and theres this SUPER COOL NINJA GUY!! and hes like heh.. you guys cant beat me.. cuz i killed you all! HA HA HA HA HA!! (giggling as im typing this btw!) and then we see.. TOMOYO! (shes the princess of this country 2.. what a coincidence!) and shes like..

um.. kurogane.. you didnt do what i told you 2! youre supposed to um. NOT KILL THEM! are you SLOW?! (spoiler alert he genuinely is.) (ok also she doesnt say that but. still)

and then tomoyos like.. sigh.. somas a much better ninja.. she doesnt kill people!! (shes also a character from rg veda! another really cool clamp series. its actually ONE of their first series.)



heehee... ANYWAYS.then kuroganes like.. heh.. well i wanna be the BEST!! AND MOST STRONGEST. soo ummm. thats why im allowed 2 kill people.. really awesome logic!

then.. tomoyos like.. sihg.. i guess theres NO CHOICE! there are peoplewho are stronger than you.. there alwayswill be.. ill show you what REAL STRENGTH IS!

OMG?! SHES SENDING HIM 2 ANOTHER DIMENSION TOO?!


and then she does a tomoyocore thing..



also.. she puts a protection spell on him! (thisll be VERY important later. youll see.)
anyways! kuroganes like GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ILL BE BACK. JUST YOU WAIT.

and then.. tomoyos like.. so it begins...

ANYWAYS!!! ANOTHER RANDOM AND UNRELATED DIMENSION! AGAIN.

Here.. is seresu.. its suuuper cold.. and.. we see.. a.. WHITE BOY?! and hes.. getting out of the water.. and it looks like some guys.. in the water..? and fais like sweet dreams! OMG?! DIDHE DROWN THIS GUY!?

Ok.. well.. he didnt drown him.. he puta spell on him that will put himinto deep sleep for a while (probably a few years) (hes not dead..) ANYWAYS! then we see a cute girl.. OMG CHII?! FROM CHOBITS?! (another cool clamp series! about robots. its a really popular manga of clamps err but like if anything i always see peopletalk aboutthe art.. not really the manga itself.. ok also minirant but i saw someone on pinterest getting mad at it because its suggestive.. even though.. its an ecchi. ridiculous! i mean i can agree its IMMENSELY FLAWED. and i feel like if people ACTUALLY read chobits theyd be pointing these flaws out... like.. well. the bakery guy, his ex robo wife, and yumi. also that teacher lady and shinbo.. yuck! yeah i love clamp but obviously they arent perfect. i should make another post about this!!)

ANYWAYS! chiis like.. what are you gonna do now?! and fais like.. get outta here! i cant stay here no more. and hes like, i wanna go 2 a place with NO KING ASHURA! (the guy he put 2 sleep!)

OK ALSO THIS PART MAKES ME LAUGH



sorry.. it reminds me of horitsuba (clamps high school au drama cds! its about xxxholic and trc!)  THERES THISONE CD WHERE KUROGANE AND YUUKO (the dimension witch!) read the trc manga and KUROGANE HAS TO VOICE CHII! and his voice is like super handsome. and cool. heh. and um HE HAS TO MAKE IT SUPER HGIH PITCHED AND HE SAYS AFTER ALL FAI MADE CHII! and then FAI HEARS AND ASKS HIM TO CALL HIM MOMMY sorry. umm spoiler alert kurofai sooo real. my favorite. theyre soulmates (not canon. but still. also have some interesting evidence of the 2 doing.. something) (ILL ELABORATE LATER!)

OH ANWYAYS. fai tells chii to tell him when ashura wakesup and then uses his magic 2 go 2 a different dimention! and he says.. OFF 2 SEE THE WITCH!!!

NOW WE'RE BACK AND SEE SYAORAN, SAKURA, AND THE DIMENSION WITCH, YUUKO!

syaoran is explaining everything that happened at the ruins to yuuko, yuuko reiterates what yukito saidand told syaoran that all her memories are gone and are scattered in different dimensions etc.

syaorans like I WONT LET HER DIE!! ILL SAVE HER!!!

and yuukos like.. wouldyou risk ANYTHING.. even if its important to you.. just to save her?

and hes like.. YES!

and then yuukos like.. here they come.. AND WE SEE THE GUYS FROM EARLIER!!

really kewl page btw

OK MOST IMPORTANTLY. kurogane and fai make ROMANTIC eye contact.


ANYWAYS! kurogane and fai introduce themselves 2 yuuko and kuroganes like.. heh. where are we! and yuukos like.. JAPAN!! and kuroganes like but ummm im from japan 2! and yuukos like.. ya.. a different japan.. and kuroganes like heh i dont get this. quite literally!

ANYWAYS! then yuuko says this:



we all know what syaorans wish is (to save sakura.. duh!) and kuroganes wish is OBVIOUSLY to go back to where hes from. fais wish is the EXACT OPPOSITE! cuz he said he didnt wanna be around ashura and stuff you get the jist!

anyways.. SO ROMANTIC!



OK ANYWAYS. ive been putting 2 many photos. yuukos like, alright guys!!! yall essentially have the same wish... different reasons of course, but essentially, you all want to travel 2 different dimensions! and yuukos like.. ok! time 2 PAY UP! cuz wishes arent free.. kuroganes price is his beloved blade and hes like NO WAY! and yuukos like.. sigh.. i guess youre not going back to suwa! and hes like FINE. and fais price is this magic tattoo on his back.. (we dont know what it is! yet..)
 and hes like.. i guess i have no choice!

yuuko doesnt say what syaorans price is yet... shes like.. so youll do anything 2 save her? and hes like.. YES! and yuukos like heh love your attitude! and then she calls watanuki (her assistant!) 2 bring these stupid things called mokona..

cute!



kurogane says he wants THIS ONE but err yuukos like umm NO! youre getting the white one! anyways. mokonas gonna help them communicate with yuuko and travel to different dimensions and be annoying AND SO MUCH MORE! and then yuukos like.. ok. on a more serious note. syaoran.. your price..

IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SAKURA!

His relationship with sakura is what he values the most. and he said hed give up ANYTHING! essentially, sakura will get all her memories back, but the relationship she once had with syaoran wont come back. so she wont remmeber him.. and theyll have 2 start.. from square one...

and syaorans like.. OK! I ACCEPT! ANYTHING 2 SAVE SAKURA!

anyways, yuuko then goes on to explain the hard parts of travelling dimensions. she explains what i tried mentioning before about the same person different world thing much better here!!



anyways.. then shes like.. off you guys go! and so begins.. THE BEST STORY EVER!!!!!!!!!

THATS BASICALLY WHAT TRCS ABOUT!

To sum ALLLL of that up. syaoran and sakura are bffs.. sakura loses her memories.. theyre now in the form of wings and are scattered accross dimensions! she cant live without her memories. so syaoran, in attempts of saving her, makes a wish to yuuko to save her. the price of this wish is his relationship with sakura. meanwhile, kurogane, a ninja from a different demention, comes by because he was forced to by the princess of his country. his wish is to go back to where he came from since he got here against his will to begin with. The price of his wish is the katana that belonged to people of his family. then theres fai, who seems to have put some guy to sleep and is running away till he wakes up! i wonder why! (spoiler alert.. theyre not reallly on good terms... to say the least!) (kill yourself ashura</3) ANYWAYS! his price is this magic tattoo (which we figure out the use of it much later.. i wont spoil yet!) yuukos like OK! you guys essentially want to go to different worlds. so go together! itll be muuuch easier and stuff you get it! and she gives them mokona, a little eggy thing that looks like a bunny that can detect feathers, help them travel dimensiions, be their buddy, and MORE! The main idea is that all of them travel together... and try to get along and stuff, and theres toons of lore. and its cute. has lots of really meaningful lessons. can be immensely relatable at times. can be sad. can be fun. its an emotional ROLLERCOASTER! i love it so much. it probably doesnt sound that great since im bad at describing things and its 3am.. however, im very passionate about this series.. literally been obsessed with it since middle school.. so.. yeah!!! i reread it all the time and always catch something new or cool! its such a great story and i recommend it a lot. 

ANYWAYS! time to talk about random trc stuff!

SO. first of all. wanted to talk aboutmy favorite setting in the series. for me, its outo! my favorite volume f the manga is volume 6 (however my favorite chapter is chapter 6 for. heh. goofy reasons!) ANYWAYS! in outo fai runs a cute cafe called cats eye its so cute. and like. well. DUKLYONS IN IT (ONE OF MY FAVE CLAMP MANGAS EVER. if not my favorite. it may be just 2 volumes but it is associated with many good memories for me and i dont know why but somehow it helped me realize who i REALLY AM!!! well. like. i dont know. like. its hard to explain. it just.... its so awesome. its a cool manga about these freshmen at clamp school who are also superheros! and its really goofy lighthearted innocent cliche and wackier than almost every clamp series ever. its also one of the shortest series. and lesser known ones unfortunately. also has really bad reviews for some reaosn. people get mad cuz theyre like kenpi makes takepon uncomfortable even though its like bff quarrels.. like.. they even act like bffs in the story too. and if ANYTHING KENPIS ALWAYS GETTING BEAT UP BY TAKEPON AND ERII ARE WE JUST GONNA IGNORE THIS?! sorry for the mini rant i really love duklyon. its so sweet and makes me genuinely happy!!) (also if you didnt notice my usernames literally kenpi so um. yeah. im also one of the only duklyon fans in existence.)

ANYWAYS SORRY FOR RANTING! outo isthe best dimension! lots of cute scenes. like this one for example!!


i just find it cute how mokona copies fai.. SO CUTE! OK ALSO> THERES FORESHADOWING. i mean there was foreshadowing in the stuff i mentioned earlierbut i didnt wanna spoil but now i will. 


here kurogane says syaorans blind in his right eye.. NOTICE HOW FAI GETS HIS OWN PANEL ok sorry well spoiler alert turns out the syaoran theyre travelling with is the CLONE of the REAL syaoran and um well the realsyaoran put half of hisheart into clone syaoran AHHH ITS CONFUSING. anyways. clone syaoran at some point (in acid tokyo to be more specific) GOUGES fais left eye out to replace his lame blind eye also mianly cuz fai has magic and its mainyl in his eyes bla bla bla sounds dmb and cliche but youll understand if your read trc for yourself. SORRY ITS LIKE 3AM SO I CAN HARDLY TYPE. and i dont want anyone 2 find out im still up.

OK ALSO. sakuras incredibly cute in outo.



LOOK AT HER!!! shes so stupid. love her.

i wanna demolish them btw (soulmates!)


ALSO KUROFAI



soulmates. OH BY THE WAY. forgot to mention their whole dynamic.. fai looves calling kurogane by dumb names like kuro rin kuro chan kuro pi etc! in outo he calls him kuro woof woof and stuff cuz he secretly made fursonas for everyone! WHICH WE'LL SEE LATER!!! kurogane always gets mad at fai cuz hes SOO annoying and goofy all the time. umm exceptkuroganes goofy too but SHH.

ALSO. its so cute how syaoran gets along with inuki so cute! (inuki is this doggy that shows up in x/1999.. ANOTHER clamp series. ive read almost everything so i know EVERY cameo. trust me.)



ANYWAYS!! SOULMATESCORE.


also you can see syaoran with inuki in the background hehehe

ANYWAYS LOOK.

his drawings look so accurate. like.. they genuinely do.. ALSO ITS SO CUTE HOW THEY ALSOW ATCH FAI DRAW GUHHH i love them. GUHDJISAJDKDHS sorry.

also soo accurate once again!!



ALSO. we see kurogane thinking about how hes a doggy later...



OK ALSO. WE SEE DUKLYON NEXT YAY!



stupid idiots(LOVETHEM SM) takepons the guy to the left, eriis in the center, and kenpis the one with his handson his hips!! erii is the super awesome yet harsh leader! she HATES dilly dally. something that kenpi does all the time.. and when shes mad she his people with a GIANT COMICALLY LARGE HAMMER! takepon is the logical one who wants to live a normal life. also. kenpis always confessing his love to takepon and makes him lunch everyday. takepon totally likes kenpi back but pretends to hate him.. tsk!ANYAYS theyre soulmates and erii and takepon tend to fight with kenpi a lot.. tsk! poor kenpi. i wish kotobuki showed up in trc but he never does. hes basically kenpi and takepons bff.. one day erii sees him and FALLS IN LOVE and he sees erii and FALLS IN LOVE WITH HER TOO WHAT A COINCIDENCE but alos. hes secretly the VILLAIN! duklyons a really goofy story i love it. also kotobuki and erii are ALSO ALIENS?! anyways ENOUGH DILLY DALLY!

this is. my favorite page of volume 6.



heh... kurofai.. heh... OK SORRY.

OK ALSO. a bit ago i mentioned chapter 6... which isnt in volume 6! its in volume 1! WHY IS IT MY FAVE? GOOD QUESTION! well.. see. a few months ago. i didnt even notice this. and from what it seems. i hardly see ANYONE MENTION THIS. well. i was rereading trc as perusual and this time i just.. i guess i wasnt paying much attention to the story this time. i waslooking at the pages. but. thats when i realized.. kurogane. hes.. AUTISTIC!! HES> HES SO AUTISTIC. I I CANT BELIEVE THIS im being so serious. see, in volume 6 everyones having a conversation at this restaraunt. and like yeah its boring. till youdont read the text. just. look at the pictures.. (WHICH KUROGANE DOES. cuz he reads manga but cant read it most of the time cuz he doesnt understand how to read in certain dimensions cuz of the language and stuff.) (clever.. right.) ANWYAS. 

he just. stares at the food. the entire. chapter. like.. he doesnt pay attention... plz look closely at these pages and ignore eveything theyresaying!

OK ALSO HE LTIERALT STARTS TWITCHING HERE


those arent ALL the pages cuz itd be 2 many but you get it. 

this is also himlooking at some goofy toys for some reason


anyways kurogane is SO GOOFY HES THE BEST!! and it makes me mad how people always call him the super serious one. cuz.. hes... definitely not serious. theres also an omake where he gets mad at syaoran for LITERALLY NOT DOING VOICES WHILE HES READING?!

look at this... 



all in all. kurogane.. is.. something else... (THE BEST BTW)

OK ANYWAYS. as you know. Kurofai is TOTALLY CANON (no itsnot) but. i.. i have something to share with the class. so. in twc (the lame sequel for trc) theres.. this.. interesting.. detail. i.. have.. noticed..

so. for some reason kuroganes bed.. was.. messy.......... AS YOU CAN SEE HERE!



BUT. in an omake i recalled that kurogane DOESNT MOVE IN HIS SLEEP SO IT DOESNT MAKE SNESE> SEE/



HOWEVER. umm. well. fai said while everyone was sleeping he and kurogane made a bet.... hrm....

look at his face..


ok well he NEVER ELABORATES on what it was. BUT my theory is that kurofai is totally canon and fais the top the end! ok alos. i see artists on twitter think its the other way around umm NO ITS NOT. in fais vampire arc (YES HE BECOMES A VAMPIRE) (wait let me tell youwhy. remember how i sai clone syaoran gouged fais eye out.. well magic is supper important and fai can hardly live without it. also. he was beaten up pretty badly and was at the verge of DEATH! and kurogane.. obviously being fais soulmate.. could not let this happen! so he contacted yuuko and made the wish to keep him alive.... the price of this wish was that kurogane would be.. heh.. "game" for fai... ok essentialy fai became a vampire right but he can ONLY get blood from KUROGANE ONLY (UMMM HELLO SOULMATES sorry.) ok. anyways. fai was no longer goofy afterthis because he was actually quite mad kurogane decided to keep him alive.... its shown throughout the story that fai er.. kinda wants to kill himself! this has to do with his crazy and tragic backstory btw.. which ill probably get to later. anyways. fai also started calling kurogane by his GOVERNMENT NAME! NOT SILLY NICKNAMES. essentially this is kurofai breakup arc.. with. heh. benefits. IM SORRYY ok well i just think theparts where fai gets kuroganes blood is umm very romantic. and also. like.

soo romantic.



OK ALSO WHY AM I TRYNNA SAY HES A TOP HERE well um cuz kurogane gave him the option to not do this but he did anyways so umm. OK ALSO. fai literally pins primera (this fairy girl who was oiginally from magic knights rayearth.. ANOTHER clamp series.) in VOLUEM 1. ok also. like.. idk.. it just feels like a no brainer. fais the more suuuper romanticky one. so like ya. and hes flirty and stuff so OBVIOSULY. aslo no offense but kurogane too stupid to be the top sorry. everyone on twitter is WRONG. 

um anyways. just wanted 2 show this off too.



IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY. fai and kurogane are STARING INTO EACH OTHERS EYES (fais also flipping him off.. heh..) ok just wamted 2 add that.

also unrelated but kuroganes design ssooo ooh la la in infinity (one of the places everyones in when theyre all in their sad arc!)



OK MOVING ON. something i admire about trc is everyones reactions when they see someone thye knoew. in volume 1, syaoran sees yukito and toya and is like HUUUH!? ITS THE KING!!!!!! AND THE HIGH PRIEST!!!!!! OMG! but then its actually NOT! and also something else a little wacky is that cuz he called them that people in hanshin found the names fun so they just call toya his highness sometimes!!!

also. another example is when fai and kurogane were separated from syaoran and sakura. when fai heard the name ashura he got a liitle scared even though they werent referring to ashura ou.. (ok so its kinda confusing but ashura and ashura ou are two different people. theyre also characters from rg veda! also another observation is that ok os in rg veda ashura, who is, ashura ous son, is said to be suuuper cursed and bad luck. similar to fai. ok so his backstory is that he was actually born twins like he has a twin brother. fais real name is actually yui but he took the name of his brother after he died and stuff and ok well. what happened? so since fai and yui were twins the people of valeria which is the place hes originally from said they were twins of misfortune cuz theres that superstition and stuff.. reminds me of bridget from guilty gears story SORRTY OFF TOPIC. anyways. fai and yui were separated bla bla bla ok well. i just htink its similar how ashura and fai are bad luck and would later be raised by ashura ou.. well in rg veda ashura ous dead and ashura is found by YASHA and good grief this is convoluted sorry.)

anywys. another instance of people getting mixed up is when kurogane sees soma in outo, hes like ARNT YOU SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTING TOMOYO?! cuz you know... i just think these small details are nice. and it doesnt happen once or twice, it hapens quite often so ya!




ok anyways ive been up too long id write more but im tiredand starting to feel nauseous for some reason. sincerely sorry. i hope you read trc.. guh.. gonna sleep.. wish me luck on my math test... night.... even tho its gonna be 5am.

5/21/24

Heh... im gonna continue writing this. Because im bored. Also Such A Beautiful Girl Like You by Pizzicato Five is a rllly good song.. I love it!! Also. I think I needa sleep more because I had this horrible blackout in class yesterday... I can't tell if it was cuz the topic being taught made me upset or if i was just tired!! I got SOO dizzy and i started hearing less... And everything started getting DARK!!! And i felt sooo wobbly... But. WATEVER. IM DOING BETTER NOW!!! Anyways.. heh.. TRC!!!

I've been thinking about trc a lot the past 4 days... (if that wasnt obvious!) I was drawing tons of stuff and also made another kurofai picmix.. heh. (this ones really ugly cuz it got deleted twice and i just got lazy...)



you know. im considering breaking these posts up into parts.. mainly cuz its annoying to keep scroling up just to add a photo! ANYWAYS. Im bored so I'll talk about THIS ONE GUIDE BOOK THING THAT I LIKE cuz. Well. ILL TELL YOU WHY!

So. first of all. this book.. showed me.. that.. there was a trc CD ROM?!



Well, its just wallpapers... but i really wanna find it. As someone who loves collecting cd roms (ESPECIALLY CLAMP ONES!) this seemed soo fascinating to me.. Like i wonder if theres exclusive art in there that no ones ever seen before.. Its really unfortunate this is so rare because I'd literally KILL to own it.

Also this plushy is so cute...



Boy do i want trc plushies! AND KEYCHAINS. Since im genuinely obsessed with keychains... I saw these really cute trc keychains on ebay but like im not even allowed to online shop or buy my own things which makes me RLLLYY SAD! Like. I'd be rolling in clamp merch right now.. The closest thing I have to clamp stuff is volume 3 of clear card (WHICH MY DAD LET ME GET AT BARNES AND NOBLES!!!) (only good thing he ever did.) AND. that day he also let me get this hatsune miku book.. which has ads of.. you guessed it.. CLAMP MANGA! There was one for clover, ccs, chobits, angelic layer, and the fashion book Mokona worked on, Okimono Kimono!! Anyways. erm. I dont really actually like clear card. I mean the beginning is really awesome till umm KAITO. and the ending is just so bad. It makes me worry because well first of all it ended recently which means rei might continue and if clear card was bad.. maybe rei might be ruined too..

In all honesty, clamps recent works are just.. not it. And most of them are sequels mind you.. REALLY BAD ONES AT THAT! Twc was cute and all but it just.. felt so boring. Xxxholic was a total cliffhanger but in a way that made you interpret what would happen next like it felt so philosophical and like well. it was a good cliffhanger ok. And then theres Rei.. I mean, rei is actually pretty decent and the plot is actually PRETTY INTERESTING!! But im a little worried since it could end up like clear card where the beginning is interesting and then it just.. it just.. gets RUINED. What i genuinely hope for is that clamp finishes gate 7.. Maybe x but like well the fandom totally ruined that series for me! i just wish the fandom wasnt so err DERANGED! LOL. OK also. I ship Kamui and Kotori dude i literally dont give two farts about fuuma stupid masochist loser people just ship them to write goofy angst masochist noncon catboy fics that are also written horribly like in the most fetishy way possible not to sound rude obviously do what you want but umm some things.. should be kept to yourself..  like get out of my face!!!! honestly. i dont really care that much about fuuma or kamui at all. i LOVE the side characters like Arashi and Sora.. And Hokuto and Kakyo.. and like also I wish Yuzuriha was with Satsuki total missed opportunity clamp!!! Why did you have to pair her up with a grown. um. ugly lame. man. really err BAD. LIKE WHY!!! i love clamp but some of their choices and stuff make me really... think... like. um.suki. i never actually read it btw because.. reasons. i know not to read it. OH ANYWAYS SORRY TIME TO TALK ABOUT TRC FOR REALS.

On the topic of cute merch there are these plushies!



they.. look.. SO DUMB!!! I NEED THEM.

theres also these sakuras



NEED IT!!! I really likehow these look compared to the other ones (sorry.) because theyre.. simple.. and cute. Notto say the others arent cute because I will kill hundreds of people just for the kurogane plushy ESPECIALLY SINCE THERRES LIKE NO OTHER KUROGANE PLUSHIES CUZ NO ONE CARES ABOUT HIM HMPH.

Theres also this syaosaku one i love



im obsessed with how STUPID SAKURA LOOKS!! she looks so polite and dumb. (so accurate!)

ALSO i want these phone straps theyre the best.



i.. especially want the kurogane one.. (HES MY FAVE CHARACTER OK.) And there are figures but like unfortunately. a lot of them are.. very.. cheap... and.. sort of.. ugly... sorry....... like this yuuko one.. its really easy to find i wont even add it here. ANYWAYS BACK TO THE BOOK.

One of ym favorite things about it is the quiz which tells you which of the main 5 characters youd be as well as which setting youd be from.. For me It. always says im fai.. and im either from jade or outo... OUTO THE BEST BTW.

ALSO THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART IN THE ENTIIRE BOOK.



hes.. so.. RAAAH!!!! oh also sorry this is mainly turning into pictures... whoops. ok also. i forgot to mention what this book is, its the first trc character guide!!! i also have scans for the second one (found it on accident but rlly happy) but its not in english... but whatever i have a translator! ANYWAYS. theres this other part in the book where fai gives the customers of cats eye (his cafe) life advice (WHICH IS ALSO FUNNY SINCE HIS LIFE IS IN SHAMBLES but watever..)

OH BUT BEFORE THAT. behold.



so round. cute.. fluffy..well.. maybe not fluffy. but CUTE!! AND ADORABLE CUTE BABY MOKONA i love you. Also i find it a little funny that understanding sadness is considered one of mokonas fancy techniques...  ANYWAYS. THERES THIS RLLY INTERESTING PART IN FAIS LITTLE ADVICE AREA. in fact. the first. the first part. its just. like. well. OK CONTEXT BTW CLAMP WROTE THIS so um YEAH just. wanted to be clear. OK NOW LOOK AT THIS!!!



FIRST OF ALL. im assuming.. fai does all this stuff. PROBABLY. BECAYSE HE TOTALLY WOOULDNT HAVE SAID THIS STUFF IF HE DIDNT. ik he lies a lot but also like hes kind of kuroganes soulmate and like theyre in love so like.. um.. YEAH! ALSO WHISPER SWEET NOTHINGS INTO HIS EAR WHILE HES SLEEPING IS KILLING ME sorry im always tweaking when it comes to kurofai like you have to read trc to understand...its.. its.. its.. I CANT EXPLAIN. also the first two methods are soo housewife and faicore so YEAH. also. i wonder what he meant by kurogane will open his hear up too.. does this mean kurofai is SUPER TOTALLY CANON?!

OK ALSO HERES ANOTHER ONE.



first of all kurogane maybe if youre gonna ask for advice about someone MAYBE not ask for advice FROM THHAT SOMEONE? like umm he also made it so obvious that the creep is fai.. DO BETTER! OK ALSO. SIGNS OF AFFECTION!? LOVE?! ummm. clearly.. kurofai is CANON. sory im tweaking. ok also. fai literally said it himself that theperson loves him and THE PERSON KUROGANES TALKING ABOUT IS LITERALLY FAI.......... and theystart quarelling at the end like a cute couple.. talk about soulmates. Ok also. i think i might just. talk about kurofai now. even though i did enough. SO BASICALLY.

like i said previously heh kurofais dynamic is that fai is the FUN AND GOOFY FLIRTY one of the relatinship (and also totally the top.) and like well kurogane gets ANNOYED BBY THIS ALL THE TIME and they FIGHT and fai loooves when kuroganes mad cuz its FUN! anyways. soemtimes they can get SUPER SERIOUS. also, fai makes this family rp with mokona and fai is the beautiful mother and kurogane is the caring and awesome father! and everyone else are the adorkable children..  mokonas also the OLDEST!! obviously theyre not.. an actual family..its just pretend. BUT STILL. ALSO. in acid tokyo i briefly mentioned there being this huge fight. so ill actually start from the top.

Basically, before acid tokyo happens everyone is in this dimension with this cool library and one of the books have a feather in it but its a library so they steal and its also a MAGIC library so the guards and security is CRAZY! anyways. just as it becomes suuuper impossible for them to escape fai whistles (heh. oh btw theres this whole thing about fai not knowing how to whistle os ya) AND THEN SUDDENLY MOKONA CAN TAKE EVERYONE TO THE NEXT DIMENSION WITH THE FEATHER! however. this whistle was most likely magic.. which fai said he wasnt able to use at the beginning of the story.

the next dimension everyone gets to is acid tokyo, a very apocolyptic tokyo where it rains acid all the time and like theres this reservoir where the feather is.. however like i said it rains acid so real water is highly valuued and kamui (who is a vampire in this dimension) is protecting it and will kill ANYONE who provokes it!! anyways. everyone gets there and settles in, sakura has collapsed since shes very weak cuz she lacks a lot of memories. so shes like sleeping rn! anyways. kuroganes like hey. we NEED 2 TALK! and fais like heh wat is it lover! and kuroganes like im being serious. and he talks about the magic stuff and the other things fai has lied about and is like im not gonna ask any questions. you just needa SHAPE UP AND BE LIKE BETTTER IN GENERAL. maybe. more honest. not willing to throw your life away all the time (cuz fai does this a lot on purpose) ANYWAYS! fais like siigh... why... sigh.. SIGH!!! this is soo hard..

ANYWAYS! later fais like heh can you take care of sakura me and syaoran have 2 do something! and kuroganes like siigh ok. anyways. syaoran and sakura go to visit this reservoir! which isbeing heavily guarded by kamui.

Syaoran figures out the feather is in there and kamui is like NUH UH!! and syaorans like WAIIIT!!! anyways. kuroganes in his area and is like SIGh this isboring. and then hes likehmm its weird. sakura shouldbe up by now. TURNS OUT SHE STOPPED BREATHING!

ok ill leave this at a cliff hanger for now cuz its 4 am and. well. my family might start getting up around now.. goodbye.. for now.
