OH THIS ONE GETS TO ME

THE EXPRESSION ON LAVA LAMP’S FACE IN THAT BOTTOM PANEL

HE HAS NEVER LOOKED SO SCARED BEFORE

Also GOSH what this moment must be like to him. After all he’s been through and all he’s suffered, finally pulling his Sakura out of her Time Freeze only for the universe to shatter AND THEN his PARENTS jumping in out of nowhere to fix it. And it’s been HOW LONG since he’s seen them? He was a child, so young when he realised he would never see them again, and then taking on all the burdens of reality onto himself - AND THEN HERE THEY ARE AGAIN ALL THESE YEARS LATER AND HIS DAD IS HUGGING HIM FROM BEHIND AS HE TRIES TO SAVE EVERYONE AT ONCE. 

WHAT A MOMENT. 

Daddyaoran is talking about that one moment from Lava Lamp’s flashback in… uh let's see... Chapitre 192. It's the last time they saw each other, when Lava Lamp is being told about going to the Clow Kingdom for the first time.

There’s also a fun echo of that moment earlier, in Chapitre 189, when Lava Lamp first meets Yuuko. And in that scene when Lava Lamp says this exact phrase again Yuuko mentions that it reminds her of Daddyaoran - which is nice and cute and touching and ALSO comes around full circle HERE, when Daddyaoran is right here repeating Lava Lamp's own words to him after all this time. It's honestly beautiful.

I'm very intrigued by the look Sakura Sakura Sakura Sakura shoots him afterwards though.

AHHHHHHH This page confused me greatly until I realised that top panel IS TWO PANELS SQUISHED TOGETHER.

IT IS NOT A PICTURE OF LAVA LAMP HOLDING SAKURA - and therefore NOT a flashback like the previous page. IT IS LAVA LAMP ON THE RIGHT, AND SUPER SAKURA ON THE LEFT BEING HELD BY SAKURA SAKURA SAKURA SAKURA. RIGHT NOW, IN THE PRESENT.

LAVA LAMP IS REPLYING TO DADDYAORAN BY SAYING THAT HE WILL NOT LET SAKURA DIE, NO MATTER WHAT.

NEEDLESSLY VISUALLY CONFUSING FOR ME AND ME ONLY OH MY GOODNESS.

But all that aside let’s add in some similar moments that I went digging through the manga looking for to try figure this all out

Lava Lamp saying he won’t let Sakura die when he’s first making a wish with Yuuko

Lava Lamp saying he won’t let Sakura die when talking with Nadeshiko

Lava Lamp thinking about how he wasn’t going to let Sakura die when telling his backstory to Fai and Kurogane

Or, my big favourite, Our original clone Syaoran saying he won’t let Sakura die at the beginning of the manga. Which I can't link directly so I'm just going to add here:

YOU CAN SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR CONFUSION IF YOU WERE MISLEAD INTO THIS MIGHT BE A FLASHBACK RIGHT?

But throwing aside, if a certain crack theory ends up being right, it's that last example that ends up being the best. Because that would mean that Daddyaoran is quoting Lava Lamp to Lava Lamp, and then Lava Lamp quotes Daddyaoran to Daddyaoran.

But that's just a crack theory for now so let's move on and say nothing at all about that.

So I was sick recently for several days (all better now!) and during that I found the Tojo Suggestion Box and binged it over the course of two days. You have no idea how happy it made me, it was so nice to have something good to think about that also made me laugh! Your writing is sharp and you carry drama into humor excellently, so reminiscent of the original series! I love your Mine and your chubby Daigo is a dreamboat. Thank you, thank you.

Thank you so much; that's incredibly high praise! I'm glad that you enjoyed it and that you're feeling better ^^

Likewise, I've kind of been under the weather the past few weeks, so this was really nice to read while on the mend!

My mom has so many, sometimes unhinged, F1 seat theories and honestly I'd say let's put her in charge

re: your post about your freetime projects making you happy. This might sound stupid but I swear I am 100% sincere saying you're such a rolemodel to me, Jabbage! You're absolutely awesome and I aspire to your level of skill mixed with a great amount of kindness and a general drive to bring happiness- to yourself and others! A queer woman in academics programming a game in your freetime all by yourself, running Letters From Watson and being active in the Discord, caring for an absolute cutie of a cat, drawing art, writing fic and whatever kind of other projects I can't list. I mean you have been part of an archeological excavation!! Do you realise how cool that is??? Honestly I'm not a person who generally has rolemodels but in many aspects you are one to me! Especially because you do so many things (simply) because you're passionate about them! Noone does it like you Jabbage but I take a little bit of that perspective onto life into my own (do you take internships?;D)

When people say nice things about the game I've been responding with a Sherlock Holmes themed 'thank you' reaction gif, of varying levels of goofiness.

There's one I've had a while but never used, which is one where Holmes gets tearful because Lestrade says he's proud of Holmes. Somehow, miraculously, Holmes realizes that he's become liked and admired and cared for, despite never having fit well into the mold of the society he lives in. Jeremy Brett performs it wonderfully. I never really wanted to diminish it by using it in a flippant way. It never seemed appropriate.

Anyway, here it is:

Thank you, that's a lovely comment.

I'm going to print it out and stick it in my diary.

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

Apparently the local university’s undergraduate entomology course sends students to catch insect specimens at the same place I like to go birdwatching, which explains why I saw three enormous frat looking dudes with tiny bug nets and overheard one emphatically say “bro BRO I told you we already have enough lepidopterans”
