KuroFai Olympics 2024, Ancient vs Modern Prompt: European sweetbriar, "I wound to heal" I went through many vampire ideas for this, before I realised I was overcomplicating, and canon already had this exact situation... Fai thinks he always hurts people trying to heal himself, while Kurogane willingly wounds himself for Fai's sake. An arm for a life. (but also the canon arm is ugly so we're automailing that shit uwu)

it's so fucking funny how homophobic the dogshit tsubasa anime was. like obviously there's vic mignogna lying that he talked to clamp and they told him that fai was straight. objectively hilarious. then in the anime itself they put in so much fai/chii like that bizarre filler episode where fai goes on a weird date with au chii and this pissed off clamp so much that later on in the manga they retconned chii to be based off of fai's mother out of pure fujoshi spite. applause all around everyone was sent into berserker states by that fruity blonde milf
#chirps#not even getting into the kurogane/tomoyo stuff but there's less funny about that to me. stop that.#clamp#trc#kurofai

I-
APPARENTLY THERE IS ANOTHER THING. Now Clow Reed has traded his life as a price to pay for Syaoran’s.
WHICH IS ALL VERY WELL AND GOOD BUT MY GOD HE IS SKATING BY ON A TECHNICALITY THERE. More Cardcaptor Sakura spoilers in this post.
Like YES ok he isn’t alive but he didn’t ‘die’ in the traditional sense, and there are two half Clow Reeds walking around alive right this very moment, BUT apparently that is still enough of a price! HE, the original, the Full Clow Reed Experience, is still "current status: not alive", so that looks like it’s enough of a price.
I suppose his magic itself is also listed as a very significant part of the exchange here too, which neatly ties back into Cardcaptor Sakura yet again. There it was Running Out and this would add another reason why that's the situation they're dealing with (beyond him being dead, which is apparently not enough); he had traded the rest of it away, for Tsubasa Syaoran, so there was none left to keep everything going. Or like, there's something about Eriol in that as well, I can't remember. Eriol inherited the REST of Clow's power, but not as much of it by far, on purpose, so I guess all the missing magic was traded away.
But EVEN SO it feels like an entire universe shift inside my mind here, where we are rewriting the entire reasoning behind Clow Reed’s death into the very fabric of Tsubasa as if it was that way all along. Like, goodness, when was Cardcaptor Sakura? When did that air for my country - the year 2000? That’s over twenty years of a fact living inside my brain before redesigning the entire truth behind it now in 2024.
Though let’s be real part of that is my fault for reading this so slowly. But still.
I was about to move on but I just also want to go back to Yuuko and add that Yuuko is paving the way for Sakura on two fronts - or switching herself out for two different Sakuras. Her spot in Existence, in the Revived-From-The-Verge-Of-Death-and-In-Between-Reality Zone was given to Super Sakura, which was originally framed as if that was the end of Yuuko already. But now we find out that WHILE that space went to Super Sakura, Yuuko kind of still exists in the world of dreams - but now she’s formally trading her life away for our clone Sakura’s life, so she can continue living once again.
Oh and the romance of it all. Yuuko and Clow Reed being a tragic couple who couldn’t have the life together that they had in mind, passing their spots in life on to another doomed couple who now CAN have a life together. Yuuko and Clow being hyper powerful beings, willingly trading places with broken clones who didn’t naturally exist in the first place, so that they can be together and fix everything else in their stead.
Yuuko and Clow (mostly just Clow) breaking the universe, and then passing the torch onto the couple who will fix it instead.
And add in how involved they were in the process too! Knowing that they would trade their lives away to help these two, and then doing everything they could to help them actually get here in the end. Clow giving up his entire life to go and raise Sakura as long as he could, and Yuuko watching over and helping Syaoran and Sakura on their journey as much as possible, let alone - OH. WAIT. Clow Reed in the Clow Kingdom raising Sakura and Syaoran, while Yuuko helps raise Watanuki, yet another accidental clone person who only came into being because of mistakes they made.
The symmetry of that is wonderful.
And even like, the framing of Yuuko’s position as the audience understands it. At the start of the story it seems like Yuuko is mostly neutral, if sympathetic, and over time it seems like she’s working towards a greater goal of saving the universe and so it suits her to watch over them. But SURPRISE she and Clow have been deeply involved in raising and supporting these two (or three) from the very beginning of their lives, working heavily behind the scenes to make deals and push people in directions that would eventually spiral around and help them get here - so that Clow and Yuuko could trade their lives away to give Sakura and Syaoran both another chance at life.
Like OH the secret parents who stepped up and guided these kids when they had no-one else. These kids who weren’t technically born and weren’t originally meant to exist, and Clow and Yuuko stepping in and becoming the parental figures who give up absolutely everything to make sure it turns out ok for them in the end. I just really enjoy that.

Ok so like. Everyone and their grandmother who watches Gotchard knows that Kurogane Spanner thinks Chemies are "just tools". Like, he just straight up says it, here it is, badda bing
But like. And hear me out on this one. I think this is more complicated than just "oh the rival character is a bastard who thinks puppies don't have feelings and therefore it's okay to go around kicking them all day"
Because I think Spanner thinks of himself as "just a tool" too.
(I am physically incapable of writing a post that doesn't get long so the rest of this is going under the cut. Spoilers up to episode 14)
I mean, just from a design standpoint, the guy has a wrench for a face half the time. There's definitely something to be said for Valvarad's mask being representative of how Spanner presents himself, or even thinks about himself (especially since Spanner created the Valvarad suit single-handedly, apparently????)
Also just like. The guy's first name. Is freaking Spanner.
Like, one of these??? And that's just his name???
Like I mean a bit on the nose but alright. Also, if he picked that name himself (and with a name like that, it seems likely). What motivated that. I simply must know.
(Diversity win! Local Trans Man absolutely hated by Every Area Teen because he's just such a bastard at all times!)
Also, for all his talk about Chemies being tools, he really doesn't treat them poorly. Like he DOES say that he really doesn't care about collecting them, he's just doing his job (performing his function, you could say)--
But like, this is also the same guy that has three Vehicle Chemies that are just his that he does not like being apart from even for less than two minutes
Like we all done been knew that Sabimaru has a special interest in Occult-type Chemies, you can just SAY you're only interested in Vehicle Chemies.
Or he could just, y'know. Have three Chemies that he really cares about and be content with that. Like those pokemon NPCs with six Magikarp and no interest in getting anything else.
And it's extra odd because we've been told that higher number Chemies are just plain stronger than the others (at least when used by regular alchemists for combat), but none of Spanner's Chemies are level 9. And he doesn't need to use number combos like Ichinose does- so why doesn't he just have three 9s and call it a day? Even IF Valvarad only works with Vehicle Chemies, why doesn't he have Golddash and Steamliner (7 and 9) instead of Gekiocopter and Madwheel (4 and 6)? We just don't know. But it could be because he cares about His Three Chemies Specifically, as much as he verbally denies it.
And another thing. Even when things go wrong, he doesn't take it out on his Chemies!
When Gekiocopter hits their altitude limit and can't take Valvarad any higher, he doesn't express any frustration towards his Chemy. I feel like if he really hated Chemies in general, he'd get mad at Gekiocopter and replace them with a higher-flying Chemy as soon as possible. But he doesn't.
Sure, Gekiocopter is "a tool"... but you don't get angry at a tool for asking it to perform past its specs. It's your fault in the first place for not respecting its limitations when you chose to use it. All the pressure and vitriol in the world won't suddenly make the impossible possible. (I wonder, is this empathy? An understanding of what it's like to be pressed to the breaking point? From one alchemist's tool to another? Surely not.)
And with episode 14 hinting that some things previously assumed to be part of his personality may be "just following orders..." And with how useless he's got to be feeling, losing over and over again despite having spent so much time and effort forging himself into a weapon for the alchemists to use as they see fit... aghhhhh I'm soooo curious where they're going with all this. THERE'S POTENTIAL.
Anyway. All this is not to get anyone to like the guy (though as you can tell, I'm a big fan). I just really wanted to express my thoughts about how there could be more than just "generic jerk" going on under the hood for this car crash of a human being.
TLDR: Kurogane Spanner is a massive tool (derogatory) (complimentary)
#Kamen Rider Gotchard#Kurogane Spanner#Valvarad#I feel like the only person who took one (1) look at Valvarad's stupid face and was like “damn ok so this bitch has self-worth issues. neat#I want him to have an absolute meltdown about being “a tool without purpose” and I want it NOW#Madwheel is the Chemy equivalent of having a pit bull as an emotional support animal (Good Dog but Looks Scary) and in this essay I WILL-

Almost missed this cover entirely but luckily this blog saved me.
Chapitre 220 - 'The Strongest Magic' or 'The Ultimate Magic'
Splash text: Turn weakness to strength, despair to hope, carve out the proof that you have lived!
And OH THIS IS GORGEOUS!
MATCHING FAMILY BATTLE OUTFITS?!
THE SYAORANS WEARING THE EXACT SAME ARMOUR WITH IDENTICAL SWORDS??
And one of them looking like he has his hand on the other’s shoulder?!
I love it. Even if it’s actually just hovering above the shoulder or something the visual effect is enough for me.
From the eye colour I think I would guess this is Daddyaoran and Lava Lamp? But I suppose it could just as equally being Lava Lamp and Syaoran. It’s fun either way - either it’s married couple Kurogane and Fai taking their two sons on a battle trip or it’s Lava Lamp and his three dads on an adventure. We win either way!
I really enjoy that Kurogane and Fai have their signature colour schemes (Red and Black/Blue and White) on opposing sides of the page, while the Syaorans have their own unique cape colours that swirl out between them on either side. (or not quite capes. Whatever those are) It makes this so much more dynamic than it would be without the splashes of colour and brings so much energy and action to what is essentially a still pose. And it’s fitting that the (capes?) are red and blue, as it helps the Syaorans be distinct from each other but lets them match the character that they share the physical space with on each page (Fai on the left page, Kurogane on the right).
But! No matter which page you were looking at individually, you would still see a small splash of the opposing colour. I think I even have an example, here we go:
If you were only looking at the left page, which is predominantly blue and white, you still get some red at the bottom. And on the right page with its blacks and reds you still have a flash of blue in the middle. Which matches the yin-yang symbol that is Syaoran’s soul - where even if you are strongly on one side of the symbol there is still always some of the opposite side inescapably in there. And the melding together of the two colour schemes creates the family that they’ve built together in everything that they’ve been through. AND, the bridge connecting the two pages, the moment of contact between them, is Syaoran’s hand on the other Syaoran’s shoulder. Which is SO FITTING I COULD SCREAM.
So with that in mind this is probably Lava Lamp and Syaoran right? With Syaoran on the right, with his strong connection with Kurogane (think the time they trained together in Outo), and Lava Lamp on the left, who trends closer to Fai (I think, like in the conversation they had when Lava Lamp shared his backstory with them in the Clow ruins).
Now the only mystery I have is this bit.
Which I’m sure is not supposed to be a mystery but I just don’t know what that bit sticking up is. I know it’s NOT Kurogane’s leg but that’s what my eye sees every time, which makes it look like Kurogane is doing a fancy little Bayonetta kick off to the side.
Which I would be in full support of, for the record.
#I am on the Kurogane doing Bayonetta Kicks Agenda#I have never thought about this before#But now it’s all I want in the world#Liveblogging the reservoir chronicle#Tsubasa#Vol 220#Fai#Kurogane#Syaoran#Lava Lamp Guy#My Syaoran My Syaoran and Me#Dear Clamp#For Christmas this year I would like Kurogane Sexy Kick Attacks#Thank you
