rekall: (Holic - Himawari)

Yo

It's accrued to me that I've haven't updated lately. Mostly it's because I've been playing WoW a lot lately (ugh, trying to get to lv 70; want to get dragon to ride; those pictures don't do justice, look much cooler in game) and Miko's probably the only one who'd understand what I'm talking about, lol. Five more levels and then I can say 'I did it!'... for five months when the next expansion pack comes out and the level max goes up to 80. >_>

Plus with CLAMP on vacation it limits what else I can talk about. Holic's around, that's true, but I keep wanting it to move onto another arc. I like Kohane and all but it's been months since the story has focused on something else. I can't even remember the last time we saw Himawari. One of my favourite parts of the story is the interaction between herself, Doumeki and Watanuki.

Oh and FAKE needs a bigger fandom. Seriously. And it actually has a sequel that doesn't suck! Unlike the sequel to a certain other shounen-ai series that I stopped reading ages ago due to the fact that it made even me headdesk due to the 'plot' and the fact manga-ka decided she was going to change her art from something that looked nice to something where all the characters looked like they were ten-year-olds (yes, even the bad-ass semi). Nope not naming names at all except quite enjoyable original involved a band called 'Bad Luck'.

My OT333333333 DX

I want Himawari to meet Kohane, damn it. It'd be so easy to have them meet now that the stuff with Kohane's psycho mom is done.

It was so weird to see that the new chapters had 104 hints all over them and to have that dissappoint me. I just miss Himawari ;-; And I'd hate it if CLAMP forgot about her and just developed Wata and Dou. We have fandom to do that crap.

OT, but may I ask, what's "104"? I'm new to Clamp and, while I've seen the term, I have no idea what it means.

104 is a term for Doumeki/Watanuki. It has something to do with their names where the kanji in their names an also be translated into numbers. Or something like that, I'm always unsure myself.

Aaah. It's like walking into the Saiyuki fandom and being bombarded with everyone speaking in a bizarre numbers code! Only, nowhere near as overwhelming.

Yeah, me too. With the 104 hints, you'd think I'd be happy but I miss Himawari too much. Right now it feels like they've forgotten her since timeline wise it's been a few days since the incident at the studio.

Personally, I think all the focus on Kohane is to build up to the reveal that she's clone!Sakura's soul. (Though, if true, what does that make Watanuki? But then, I also think that the petal clone!Syaoran grabbed when she...uhm...disnitegrated was a piece of her soul that became his soul.)

And this is very true about Himawari. At least Doumeki has been lurking about in the background and chatting with Yuuko.

I like Fake. I haven't read the sequel yet though. I've only read two vols of Gravitation and it gave me a desk-shaped dent in my forehead.

I liked the original Gravitation but the sequel is just a pile of mess (at least it was when the last time I looked at it). It was like the manga-ka stopped caring and was just doing a half-ass job.

The FAKE sequel is pretty good so far. The art has changed, a lot but it's nothing completely horrible (they at least still look like adults).

All I have to say about CLAMP at the moment is: dammit scanner community, where's my Holic 159? ¬¬

I understand nothing ~ NOTHING~~~

I actually didn't like the netherdrakes that much, not compared to the other flying dragons you get to sit on rarely (i.e. the bronze dragons in the Caverns of Time - if you haven't taken a ride, go down to Tanaris and do so)

LIES! You did this to me!

Yeah, I like the other dragons much better but woe you don't get to keep them. I want a Talbuk too and a Nether Ray so it just depends on what rep I want to grind for first.

Talbuk is easy... took me 2 days to get one.
