#Kurogane Fai cosplay

This is just re-establishing the evidence that this is, in fact, a time loop with all the same things happening, but I genuinely want to know what happens in the time loop when Lava Lamp doesn’t catch the basket. Does the apple child trip and fall? Do  the APPLES ALL FALL IN THE SAND? 

Inquiring minds want to know!

It's also interesting that they didn't draw any background in those final two panels, but I'm going to err on 'time saving method' rather than 'empty plane of existence'. For now.

I love that Kurogane is unnerved enough by the repeated scenario to put a hand on his sword.

Fai doesn’t immediately respond to the question like he did last time.

Even Lava Lamp and Mokona look uncomfortable. I suspect that top panel with the aurais still showing that they don’t give off anything antagonistic, but Kurogane WOULD be able to tell if they didn’t read as alive, since Syaoran could tell the difference back in Outo. So, considering he didn’t notice anything unliving about them yesterday, I think it’s same to assume that these people are all genuinely alive and minding their own business and just living their life in the time loop completely unbeknownst to them.

I LOVE Mokona still helping out with the investigation and noting her conclusions to Lava Lamp. YOU GO MOKONA. SECRET MOKONA SKILL ACE DETECTIVE ACTIVATED!

It is genuinely hilarious to me that even without any input or response the marketplace himbo still thinks the EXACT same pattern of thought progression. They don’t even reply to him and he’s still instantly just THAT’S GREAT! :D 

He’s such a fan of the idea of travelling together he doesn’t even NEED external validation to his assumptions!

The one guy with the beard is missing though. That's interesting.

Oh and the panels are almost exactly the same even without him! Hang on I'm going to put them side by side.

CURIOUS.

Was the timing JUST off enough that he didn’t join the conversation this time? Will the people vanish one by one in each loop? Or does Kyle just do beard npc cosplay in his time off?

All those npc tiktokers are shaking.

 “Rin, are you sure my wig is on right? It’s awfully uncomfortable.” Obito plays with the carefully styled “mane”, coming close to dislodging the face guard holding the whole thing in place.

 Kakashi peeks up from where he was perusing the convention guidebook, “At least you get a wig and bobby pins not a badly-installed weave.” Just mild enough to be considered conversation, but just barbed enough for Rin to feel the sting. If it wouldn’t ruin the cosplay to leave a bright red handprint on Kakashi face for the rest of the afternoon, she’d slap him in a heartbeat. Kakashi hadn’t had any objections to the cosplay until he learned he needed extensions!

 “And who’s fault was it that they kept moving as I clipped the extensions in?” Rin stressed the correct term because she knew Kakashi knew the correct term for the easily removable lengths of hair she’d clipped in in the wee hours of the morning, sacrificing her sleep in order to deal with Kakashi’s whining. “Besides, you make a lovely Kero and Yue. Just keep your costumes together until the judging for the group cosplay contest.” She smoothes the front of her costume, the classic and iconic pink and white one that was a straight up bitch to stitch because of the miles of layered, heavily starched, ruffle-hemmed petticoats that went under the skirt. Rin wished she had a real life Tomoe to make her costumes for her, but alas, of her friends Yugao was the only other one who had any ability to sew and even then she couldn’t sew a straight line for love or money.

 “Oh hey! They have takoyaki! Bakashi, come on, let’s grab some.” Rin freezes and tries to stop them - all those dark sauces and their bright costumes! - but then thinks better of it once she sees the terrified begging face Kakashi is making at her as Obito pulls him into the queue, wings dragging behind them both. She packed bibs on purpose, and it serves Kakashi right for reading porn while getting styled then having the balls to complain about it. Maybe she’ll only insist on fried-foods for the rest of the day? Or pointedly eat miso-glazed fried eggplant in front of him - there’s a stall right there.... But there’s mochi too and pistachio ice cream filled mochi are so rare to find.

 Mulling over the possibilities, she doesn’t notice where she’s going until she’s bumped into someone much smaller than her. “Oof!”

 “Oh, my goodness! I’m so sorry! I didn’t see you...,” Rin can’t believe what’s she’s seeing.“Sakura?” That is very clearly Sakura, but the older Sakura from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle not the child Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura that Rin herself is cosplaying.

 The poor girl’s wig has been knocked askew though, and Rin can’t help herself as she tries to right it. The girl’s pink hair flutters loose as she knocks aside Rin’s hand, huffing, “Watch where you’re going!” Green eyes glare at her for a moment before widening in surprise. “Oh. You’re....”

 “Also Sakura!” Rin chirps, ignoring the rudeness. Anyone would be rude in that situation, especially if someone knocked one over in a very detailed, primarily white cosplay. “You also going for the competition?” This convention’s contest was one of the most difficult, with lots of really good cosplayers coming and competing, but Rin thought the girl’s would do well.

 “Ah, yes.” The girl gets up, smoothing her white skirts and checking for stains. Her coins clink against one another - real metal, not cheap. “The group competition, actually!”

 “Really! Who are your companions?” Rin hopes it’s not the two Syaorans. The girl can’t be more than 12, and the whole storyline of the two (three? Four if you count the father?) Syaorans makes things very awkward via implication. Not that Rin is judging but ... 12 is a little young to date?

 The girl smiles, “Mokona and Mokona!” Oh good. The dumplings. Perfectly innocuous. “I wanted them to be Kurogane and Fai.”

 Rin doesn’t know what to make of that. “Why didn’t they want to be Kurogane and Fai? They’re amazing!” The best original characters in the series - not a hard thing to win, considering, but still! Rin read Tsubasa and xxxholic for Kurogane and Fai not for Syaoran and his quest!

 “They kept fighting over Syaoran.” And that’s almost better, almost worse. “So I made them be Mokona instead.” The girl shrugs. “What about you? Are you in the single entrants competition?”

 Rin laughs, “No, I’m entering in the group competition too. My Yue and Kero are off getting food right now.”

 “Mine too! Maybe we can go sit down to wait for them?” The girl points out a set of empty benches in easy line of sight from the food stalls. “Then maybe when they get back we can get a group photo?”

 It’s easy to talk this is small Sakura, who is starry-eyed over the romance of the series and the exquisite detail CLAMP puts into their stories. It’s clear the older work references are lost on her, but that’s okay since they’re clearly before her time and hard to find in print anyways. They bond over Gate 7, and poke fun of CLAMP’s obvious weakness for the name “Sakura”; how many “Sakura” does one group even need? The girl shyly offers that her name is also ‘Sakura’, which is why she loves the character so much.

 “Say, did your ... friends have problems with cosplaying too?”Sakura asks after a lull in their conversation. She’s fiddling with one of the coins on her scarf, and Rin can’t help but feel a pang of empathy. Cosplaying alone is hard, but it’s also difficult to agree on what or how with a group, and it’s even worse when people start causing problems. 12 year old boys are the worst about that sort of thing, waffling between excitement over the characters and self consciousness when they realize cosplaying nerdy stuff and that it might be “uncool”.

 “Yeah, but they do every year. It’s okay. I have a plan - next year, we’re going to cosplay Sailor Moon. And instead of letting them be Shittenou, I’m going to make them rule 63.” Rin smiles deviously. Kakashi will love that, especially the wigs and short skirts. Sakura giggles, and a thought strikes Rin. “Hey, wanna cosplay Chibi Usa if I cosplay Usagi? You already have the hair.”

 Sakura grins, “If we add my two friends with your two friends, we could get all of the Sailor Scouts - at least the Inner Scouts.” Oh, but how Rin loves the way this girl thinks.

 They’re exchanging contact information when two pre-teen figures in black and white run up. “Sakura! Sakura! They have the figure you wanted!”

 Her own two idiots stroll up, “Rin! Rin! We got you a serving of yakisoba!” It’s clearly time for them to part ways, especially given the way their two groups are sharing Looks. Last time those Looks had been shared, Kakashi got into a fight with some hooligans from Iwa. That year wasn’t a good year.

 “‘There is no such thing as coincidence in this world. The only thing is hitsuzen.’” Rin intones as she waves goodbye.

 “What?” Obito asked around a mouthful of octopus ball. Rin giggles into her noodles instead - they won’t know what hit them.

Have you read/watched Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles?? I’ve literally never come across anyone else who has!!! That’s so cool!!!

I have, though I'll admit I was always more of a xxxHolic fan. My wife and I actually cosplayed Kurogane and Fay at NYCC one year. xD

Oh hey, a fun sketch from last year of my Watch The Stars Fade characters dressed as the main characters from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle! AKA the manga that sparked the beginning of my fascination with multiverses.

Seems like fitting character cosplay for the team of agents working for an interdimensional organization, eh?

Cassowary is Syaoran (clone version, at least) — grounded, down-to-earth, protective, the team’s main hand-to-hand combat fighter.

Owl is Princess Sakura — she’s the only non-action girl on the team, has an easygoing and kind disposition, and also she and Cass are an item.

Kestrel is Kurogane — bold, a bit brash, a bladed weapon aficionado, connections to nobility, has to learn how to accept her own weaknesses and work with others. Hates seeing people give up.

Kite is Fai (haha, my favorite, how cliché) — the team’s primary magic user, powerful enough to cross dimensions under their own power but also their magic fucks them up in some way, last survivor of a destroyed world, probably repressed as fuck.

Warbler is Mokona — let’s be real, I ran out of choices. But also they’re the glue keeping the team together, they guide the others through each new world (socially speaking), they’re a jack-of-all-trades and can sometimes be a little shit.

Anyways, suffice to say, I had fun with this. (They even have their own Magic Lady!! Though theirs is a dragon mom instead of a pseudo-undead witch.)

Scrolling through the pictures of my last trip to the US to see my mage, I decided to upload a little compiliation of photos from Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, taken by our friend Krissy .

It was a good date, with lots of laughter and sunshine! And I can’t wait to take her on more of those.

I haven't gotten to Fai's backstory yet either, but that one post about him possibly being a chobit made me think; with his general design and magic and aesthetics, am I the only one who think Fai is what a humanized version of Sakura's feathers would be?

That’s a very interesting idea! I mean, personally I feel like Fai isn’t quite ‘innocent’ enough to match the idea I have about Sakura’s feathers, but still! He has the bird vibe down for sure. 

I went looking through the art I’ve seen so far for any characters that better match my idea of Sakura’s feathers and these were the two that stood out the most to me:
