#what is there is hitsuzen 必然

[psychewritesbs]

I just realized that last night when the x cpc covers came up on my dash I was quite literally listening to Adagio in G Minor, which is the piece played pretty much every time tension escalates in the anime (which is like... the whole anime basically).

Given x is a piece of prophetic media I must admit I’m a bit spooked because this felt hitsuzen af 必然.

Just another example of how Clow keeps messing with the space-time continuum and how his antics are overflowing into our reality due to decoherence.

Moriarty the Patriot S1 ED - ALPHA (english lyrics)

Artist: STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION

Moriarty the Patriot S1 ED Trying to write something clearer than the existing translation on the video... (I think that one is at least partly machine-translated.) Also, this one is a bit literal as I’m favouring clarity over elegance.

引き継いだ魂共に犯した誓い hikitsuida tamashi tomo ni okashita chikai 遺伝子の業に溺れた理想論で idenshi no gou ni oboreta risouron de

An oath broken by a chain of inherited souls, with idealistic thoughts steeped in genetic karma

Lie 痛みを分かち合うなら itami wo wakachiau nara 覚悟を持て（決意の証を） kakugo wo mote（ketsui wo akashi wo） Like、dislike なんて like, dislike nante 気にしてらんない ki ni shiterannai 目的次第（実現こそが最重要だって） mokuteki shidai（jitsugen koso ga sai jyuuyou datte）

Lies and pain — if you will share them, then ready yourself (A sign of your resolve) Likes, dislikes — we can’t afford to care about that It all depends on the goal (The most important thing is to make it a reality)

自己犠牲のような必要悪* jiko gisei no you na hitsueu* 誰も知り得ない正義で dare mo shiritonai seigi de 同じ罪を背負った同志と onaji tsumi wo seotta doushi to 断ち切り難い絆を誇れ tachikiri gatai kizuna wo hokore

A necessary evil like self-sacrifice owing to a justice no one can comprehend Be proud of this unbreakable bond between comrades who bear the same sin

*A non-standard pronunciation had been used in the song; usually it’s read as hitsuyou-aku

偶然の引き金を guzen no hikigane wo 必然のスタンスとして hitsuzen no stance toshite 達成に酔いしれろ At the end tassei ni yoishirero at the end

Take the trigger of chance as an inevitable stance and bask in your achievement, at the end

Don't believe in what you can see 知る意味のない真実を（Whatever it takes） shiru imi no nai shinjitsu wo 正しさに任せて tadashisa ni makasete 目的はただ一つ mokuteki wa tada hitotsu There is no turning back

Don’t believe in what you can see — in a truth there is no point in knowing (Whatever it takes) Leave it to righteousness There is only one goal There is no turning back

One 嘆くこの街にも nageku ko no machi ni mo 救いがあるかなんてさ sukui ga aru ka nante sa （明らかにはできないだろ） （araka ni wa dekinai daro） 胸騒いだとして mune sawaida toshite 理詰める余裕持ってんだ rizumeru yoyuu mottenda マスマティカルな駆け引き mathematical na kakehiki

One mourns if there is any salvation on these streets (Clearly it can’t be achieved) Though it makes my heart uneasy, I can afford to reason with you A mathematical bargain

足掻けば足掻くほど曇る agakeba agaku hodo kumoru 視界歪むのが道理で shikai yugamu no ga doori de 深く突き刺す故意の傷に fukaku tsuki sasu koi no kizu ni 生温い現実から目を覚ませと namanurii genjitsu kara me wo samase to

The more I struggle, the murkier it gets No wonder my sight is warped These deliberate wounds that pierce deep awaken me from this lukewarm reality

初動の契りを雑念に絆されず shodou no chigiri wo zatsunen ni hodasarezu 凛として果たす　愉悦と快楽に飲まれろ rin toshite hatasu　yuetsu to kairaku ni nomarero

Don’t allow this promise to move first to be tripped up by stray thoughts Fulfil it with dignity, and drink in that joy and pleasure

Don't believe in what you can see 知る意味のない真実を（Whatever it takes） shiru imi no nai shinjitsu wo 正しさに任せて tadashisa ni makasete 目的はただ一つ mokuteiki wa tada hitotsu （Let me hear you say）

Don’t believe in what you can see — in a truth there is no point in knowing (Whatever it takes) Leave it to righteousness There is only one goal (Let me hear you say it)

心に嘘はつかないで kokoro ni uso wa tsukanaide 共に行こう tomo ni yukou （Let me hear you say） 答えがないからこそだろ kotae ga nai kara koso daro There is no turning back

Don’t lie to your heart Let’s go, together (Let me hear you say it) It’s precisely because there’s no answer, isn’t it? There is no turning back

律せるこの世に消し去る偽善の咎を risseru ko no yo ni keshisaru gizen no toga wo 一切の躊躇い持たずに制す揚々と issai no tamerai motazu ni seisu youyou to

In this lawful world, we shall erase the iniquity of hypocrisy, and put it down triumphantly without a single moment’s hesitation

初動の契りを雑念に絆されず shoudou no chigiri wo zatsunen ni hodasarezu 凛として果たす　愉悦と快楽に飲まれろ rin toshite hatasu　yuetsu to kairaku ni nomarero

Don’t allow this promise to move first to be tripped up by stray thoughts Fulfil it with dignity, and drink in that joy and pleasure

偶然の引き金を gizen no hikigane wo 必然のスタンスとして hitsuzen no stance toshite 達成に酔いしれろ At the end tassei ni yoishirero at the end

Take the trigger of chance as an inevitable stance and bask in your achievement, at the end

Japanese:

目覚めてみれば蟲の息で命を刻む淡く淡く

心に何か想っても　浮かんで流れて消える

まるで走馬灯の様

目覚めぬままに息絶えれば命を刻む音も眠る

心に何か想っても　巡り巡って行くのでしょう

私を通り過ぎて

現はただ甘い夢を垂れ流す残酷

焼かれ叫ぶ目が眩む程の悲鳴

燃ゆる命その痛みは何を照らしたのでしょう

浮かび沈む必然の性

生と不が織り成す「歪」

ゆえに「生きた意味」に縋り

「生かされた意味」が誰かの

「生きる意味」と成り行くのでしょう

常夜に舞うは冷光

「黒い日」一つ終える度に迎えに来るのはまた「黒い日」

心に強く想えば　巡り巡って何時かは…

私を照らすでしょうか

燃えた命その屍は何を残したのでしょう

「終わり」の端その鋒で何かを織り成す「歪」

故に愚か然れど仄か琴の音を掻き鳴らす様に

胸の奥に触れられたなら

常夜に舞うは冷光

鼓動が脈を打つ度に広がる

痛みに怯え震える私を救ってくれた「冷たい優しさ」

また一つ、私を通り過ぎた

「想い」に手を振りましょう今は…

生きて生きて死すべき日に

大いに笑い逝きましょう

唯一無二の必然として

理が織り成す「歪」

「私として私を生き、私の儘に死のう」

「その日」は刹那の果てにぽつり…

嗚呼、待ち惚け

English:

When I awaken, a faint voice, lightly, lightly carves into my life What do I feel deep in my heart? Floating and passing by and disappearing Like a revolving lantern If you die without awakening, the sound that carved itself into your life will also remain asleep What do I feel deep in my heart? Will it turn and turn on forever Until it passes me by? The present is unfortunately just the overflowing of sweet dreams I hear a blistering, blinding scream What did the pain of this burning life illuminate? The inevitable destiny, floating and sinking Life and nothingness are interweaving to create a warp So I embrace the meaning of being alive I wonder what the meaning of being allowed to live will become for someone else A cold light dancing in perpetual night Every time a black day comes to an end, it just means another black day is coming If I think my heart is strong, someday what will come back to me… I wonder if it will illuminate me I wonder what the corpse of the life that was burned will leave behind? The beginning of the end, that blade will someday weave something into a warp Then finally, stupidly, faintly, like the thrumming of a koto If it touched you deep down in your heart It will be a cold light dancing in perpetual night Every time my heart pulses in my veins, I can feel it getting bigger A cold kindness saved me from pain and quivering in fear Once more, it passes me by And now I wave my thoughts goodbye…

I’m alive, I’m alive, but the day I must die I’ll pass from this earth with a smile It’s a unique destiny Logic interweaves a warp “If I live my life as I need to be, I can face my own death” If I can just utter those words on that day… Ah, I’m just waiting in vain

English Lyrics

It started from that day with you It seems inevitable that it was a coincidence Wonderful things happen in the world To affirm more, let's embrace the wish and take a trip together

Let's live on with joy and sorrow In that moment! We are one (Yes!) Because the warm beating won't stop

Just loving that dream We're running now, both you and us (everywhere) So that the story does not end We just want to love dreams Running right now, even if it gets tough (Let's talk) Because it's for an important friend

Embarrased by the tears, facing with impatience What we meet at the end of the experience Even though I do not know anything I'm looking forward to it, to a trial surely can be overcome Going to the next stage

If the future starts to move with momentum Very good! We are one (Go!) We'll run through the same era

Come, the stars go to the wilderness Let it lead and shine on you (forever) The story goes on forever Come, the stars brightening the wilderness Even if you lose sight of the guiding light (Let's search together) That's right, because it's for a friend

Just loving that dream We're running now, both you and us (everywhere) The story never ends We just want to love dreams Running right now, even if it gets tough (Let's talk) Because it's for a friend, an important friend

English

In silence, desire opens its eyes

Light and shadow cut across each other

They’re flowing out of that requiem

There is no one can stop it anymore

What is Justice? Destruction is better

For this imprisoned heart

The passionated blood is clamoring

Goes against fate

Beautifully, the dying souls are scattering

Right here right now

Resisting the wrath!

The world of darkness is covered with desire

The flame of emotions is blooming madly, right now shout it out

Until the Ira (wrath) ends

What is EVIL? Challenging is better

You’re the one who chose that

Alea jacta est (The die has been cast)

Carry on the inevitable fate

Even if you betray compassion

May god bless you, right here right now

Offer your prayers

The truth is beckoning to the world of pure white

This overflowing passion is calling for an awakening of a storm

Until the Ira (Wrath) ends

Now! Unleash it

The swirls of desire are living and moving in this world

Despair too, sadness too, it goes beyond all of those

The world of darkness is covered with desire

The flame of emotions is blooming madly, right now shout it out

Until the Ira (wrath) ends

Grace wraps up in silence

Instinct keeps going on

Guided by a smile

Supplied by a prelude’s play

Looking back~ I realized that you don’t always get what you wanted but mysteriously ended up in a happier state in which you’re supposed to be in with someone else~ Some things are destined to be, though they’re too strange and too strong to be coincidences~ Hitsuzen (Inevitable/必然/ひつぜん/필연) just happen without the need for any reason or explanation~ Whoever fated to be with you will remain loyal by your side no matter how many barriers both had encountered~ Always keep that sweet smile on your face~ I love you, son~ :) #JFamilyKitties #Jett #kitty #cat #kucing #pets #cuteness #catselfie #picoftheday #photooftheday #neko #meow #love #petphotography #kittiesofinstagram #catlover #ilovecat #catlove #貓 #고양이 #ねこ #แมว #crizlai #blogger (at Penang Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0FQGj-DWWI/?igshid=a7nm7nxz4e1t

B-PROJECT: Starlight Lyrics

Kanji, romaji and English translation for Starlight by Kitakore

(kanji source)

Give me さぁギリギリ 火照るココロ奮うだろ? 荒れ狂う風を越えて (いつだって覚悟はALL RIGHT)

Going さぁ いつでも 挑み続けた道は 常識外れ 自分を乗り越えて行こう

満たされない 不完全な答えに (モヤモヤしてる) 目を逸らさず 乗り越えた先は HAPPY ENDさ

今 上昇を描く 未来の向こう側に光る 時代を作っていく これからも真っ直ぐ進んで行くから

今 無限に広がる夢 見逃さないように 拾い集め カタチ作る

どんなに小さな 輝きだって いつか ソラ突き破って 星になれる

Wake Me Up 冴えない顔して俯いてる 限界? そんなもん捨てて (ギリギリのLife 楽しもうぜ)

Stand Up さぁ これから 挑み続ける夢は 偶然じゃなく 必然 振り向かず進め

ずっと今まで 背中押されてきた (当たり前のように) 一人だけじゃ 歩けない道もあった

強くなれた たくさんの言葉に (支えられて) 絶対絶命のピンチも キズナに 変えていくから

今 頂上を目指す 道を ただ全速力で 駆け出し進んでいく どこまでも真っ直ぐブレないから

今 奇跡のような時が 1粒 燃えるように瞬き煌めいていく 何より近くで 見届けてほしい いつも その瞳[め]で

憧れだけじゃ たどり着かない 理想を描くイメージ 無謀って言葉 破り捨てて 手を伸ばし続けろ

今 最上級なステージの ど真ん中で 一番星を目指していく どんな事があっても 輝くから

今 上昇を描く 未来の 向こう側に光る 夢は離さないよ いつまでもずっと 追い続けて いくから We got a shine!!

English

Give me, come, your burning heart on edge is gathering courage, right? Cross the raving wind (At any time, your resolution is ALL RIGHT)

Going, come, the path you always continued to challenge Throw away your common sense and let's overcome ourselves

An unsatisfying incomplete answer (Makes me gloomy) The other side we climbed over without looking aways Is a HAPPY END

Now we shine on the other side of the ascension drawing future We're creating an era From now on we'll advance straight ahead

Now, so we don't miss the dream growing infinitely, We gather up pieces and make a shape

No matter how small the radiance is, someday It'll become a star that breaks through the sky

Wake me up, you're making an unquiet face and looking downward Limits? Throw those things away (And let's enjoy a life on the edge)

Stand up, come, the dream you'll continue to challenge Is not a coincidence, it's inevitable - Advance without turning around

Always, until now, I've had my back pushed (As if it was natural) There were also paths I couldn't walk by myself

I became strong and was supported by (Many words) Even the desperate crises will Turn into bonds

I now set out for the summit - At full speed I'll Start running and move forward Anywhere, straight ahead and without being shaken

The miracle-like times will now sparkle, flickering, as if they're burning a grain I want you to watch me closer than anything Forever, with those eyes

I won't arrive by just yearning, your image draws my dreams Get away from the word "reckless" and continue to reach out your hand

Now, in the center of the highest grade stage, I'll aim for the brightest star Because I'll shine no matter what happens

Now we shine on the other side of the ascension drawing future I won't let go of my dreams I'll continue to chase them forever, for eternity We got a shine!!

Chapter 217: Bath, part 2—Cursed Lover: Introduction to the Psychology of Romantic Love 101

Cursed lovey-dovey JJK Sunday! 

I know this chapter in specific has had polarizing reactions but I personally loved how unserious it is and I LOVE YOROZU! crazy bitch I love her

There are no coincidences in this world, what is there is hitsuzen 必然. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been re-visiting the Psychology of Romantic Love. So when this chapter dropped with its implications of one-sided love, I couldn’t not write about it.

So just a heads up, in the spirit of chasing after my own love-induced delusions, I went on the usual massive tangent and wrote about LOVE under the cut. 

Thing is... and this is just a theory but... love is the most twisted curse of them all.

愛よ。

So anyways... 

And yes... this is also a Depth Psychology lecture.

That said...

Welcome to Introduction to the Psychology of Romantic Love 101.

Drunk in love

First, I’m not going to do an in-depth exploration of the Psychology of Romantic love here because I am saving that for a different essay that I am working on. So what you’ll find is more of a brief introduction to this complex subject.

Second, DESPITE the impression you might get from reading this, I am actually a romantic who willingly and perhaps rather foolishly loves/hates to get drunk in love. 

Third, music is perhaps one of the best ways to convey something as indescribable such as love. So you’ll find I drop specific lyrics and song titles for reference. Feel free to listen to, skip or ignore. 

That said, I’ll also admit that since I started re-visiting the Psychology of Romantic Love, I’ve literally been looking for the right opportunity to drop these two song titles: Lovefool by The Cardigans, and Drunk in Love by Béyonce and her babydaddy, Jay-Z.

And while Lovefool is more appropriate for a one-sided obsession (I think we’ve long since left “crush” territory) such as Yorozu’s...

So I cry and I pray and I beg

Love me love me Say that you love me Fool me fool me Go on and fool me Love me love me Pretend that you love me Leave me leave me

The idea of being drunk in love also applies quite well. In the Psychology of Romantic Love, this is known as “drinking the love potion” by Depth Psychologists. 

Boy, I'm drinking, get my brain right

In drinking the love potion, the lover (aka the one doing the loving) is privy to experiencing the magic realms of the heart--the beauty of love itself. This is what is described as the usual symptoms of being in love, like butterflies in your chest or stomach and having an overall dreamy temperament.

The problem with drinking the love potion often lies in the delusions that are inherent to being drunk in love. At their best, these delusions are nothing more than an overall feeling of pleasantness, sort of like seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. But at their worse, these delusions can alter how the lover perceives reality itself.

But don’t take my word for it, when it comes to describing what it’s like to observe someone who is drunk in love from drinking the love potion, Fuel said it best in their song Shimmer: 

She dreams a champagne dream Strawberry surprise Pink linen on white paper Lavender and cream Fields of butterflies Reality escapes her

What I love most about Yorozu being completely out of touch with reality is that her version of “lavender and cream” and “fields of butterflies” is more akin to destroying 3 villages and writing haiku about the decapitated head of the most handsome man in each of those villages.

crazy bitch I love her

Tainted love

Also, can we stop and appreciate how comical this whole page is?

Gege, of course, uses the Sakura trees in full bloom in the panel above (cut off) as well as Sakura blossoms raining down on Yorozu and Sukuna--a trope commonly used to emphasize the ephemeral nature of beauty that can also evoke romantic undertones.

If you’ve ever had the privilege of visiting Japan during Hanami season and gotten to see Sakura blossoms falling, its undeniable how poetic and beautiful such a mundane spectacle is.

But, just as I am exploring the darker side of love in this ramble, you can be sure there is shadow side to the Sakura trees. 

What if there was a more sinister reason as to why the cherry blossoms are pink?

Just the way Gege is exploring corrupted and twisted love through Yorozu, In Tokyo Babylon, CLAMP uses cherry blossoms as a corrupted symbol of love--tainted love that corrupts (cue Marilyn Manson’s version of Tainted Love).

Sometimes I feel I've got to run away I've got to get away From the pain you drive into the heart of me

Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I run from you This tainted love you've given

That's what I meant when I shared how I would have liked to see what it means for the King of Curses, Sukuna, to “love” or have a one-sided crush. Basically I headcanon Sukuna’s love language is inflicting pain.

But Sukuna isn’t necessarily running from Yorozu because he’s not digging the pain she dishes with her tainted love but more because... well... she’s so delusional she annoys him. I can see why Kenny asked Sukuna why he’d go see her.

But since Yorozu is the one dishing pain with her tainted love, I loved that her love language is basically to die in the name of the Beloved--whether she’s the one who dies or its Sukuna.

In German, liebstod is a word for a kind of love that is so unreal and so Divine, that it can only be achieved in death.

“I want you to be the one to kill me...

I want you to be the one who hurts me...

... as the ultimate expression of my love for you.”

crazy bitch I love her

To quote Jungian Analyst, Jim Hollis, “to love the Other, with all the Other’s presumed power to hurt us, requires a substantial amplitude of soul, an enlargement of one’s sense of self”.

Not me using a quote from Dr. Hollis to write about JJK because he talks about the sense of self.

After all, is there a greater form of showing one’s devotion for the Beloved than by baring our bleeding heart and offering it on a silver platter to say “I trust you”? that or maybe I’m just twisted af too. like... is that why I'm still single? bahaha

Absolute love corrupts absolutely.

The Demon Lover

There’s also something to be said about how Yorozu’s tainted love is also a reflection of her psychoemotional development as an individual--which is an interesting thing to say given her vessel is a teenager with a history of childhood neglect and abandonment.

Now, part of what is so comical about Yorozu is that everything from her reactions, her behavior, and her obsession with Sukuna are, quite literally, so infantile.

That’s because Yorozu’s love appears to be stuck in a level of ego development that objectifies the “object of her affection”, Sukuna, and sees it as something to be claimed and owned. She sees it as her duty to the Beloved to subdue him with her power.

Ironically, as Jung himself used to say, “where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”

Jungian Analyst, John Haule further tells us that “the goal of love appears to be nothing less than a loss of ego.”

He adds that the Demon Lover archetype is often constellated in romantic relationships when the lover lacks the psychoemotional maturity to see the delusions caused by the love potion as a projection of one’s shadow onto the Beloved.

Instead, we are invited to consider that this kind of love is more like an addiction.

Or in the words of Børns’ Electric Love...

Drown me (drown me), you make my heart beat like the rain Surround me (oh), hold me deep beneath your waves

Baby, you're like lightning in a bottle I can't let you go now that I got it And all I need is to be struck By your electric love

Which, thematically, is so perfect for a story like Jujutsu Kaisen where selfishly prioritizing satisfying the hedonistic and fleeting desires of the ego sense of self is what drives the strongest sorcerers.

crazy bitch I LOVE HER BECAUSE SHE’S SO RELATABLE AF!

Thank you if you’ve made it this far. 

I hope you have a cursed lovey-dovey JJK-Sunday!

This is literally my favourite song of all time /わくわく/

Bold* words have additional science notes at the end, because I am a science student #physicsislife

行き交う人の数だけ ikikau hito no kazu dake 続いてるストーリー tsuzuiteru suto—ri— それぞれの運命を彷徨う sorezore no unmei wo samayou

There are as many ongoing stories as people coming and going on a busy street and they wander through each of these fates

大抵の人生は taitei no jinsei wa 交わることは無い majiwaru koto wa nai 別軌道を漂う衛星みたいに betsu kidou wo tadayou eisei mitai ni

Most lives contain no intersections, just like satellites adrift in different orbits

僕らが巡りあえた事は bokura ga meguriaeta koto wa 奇跡なんかじゃない kiseiki nanka jyanai 互いに引き合う力で tagai ni hikiau chikara de 生まれた必然 umareta hitsuzen

Our chance encounters are not miracles They are born from a mutual force of attraction* and thus an inevitability

だから dakara

So

守りたい何もかも mamoritai nani mo ka mo 僕を取り巻くすべてを boku wo tori maku subete wo たとえ壊れても tatoe kowaretemo 傷ついても構わない kizutsuitemo kamawanai

I want to protect everything that surrounds me Even if I am completely destroyed, even if I get hurt, I will not mind

この道の行き着く先が ko no michi no ikitsuku saki ga 消えゆく宿命（さだめ）だとしても kieyuku sadame datoshitemo 走り続けよう hashiri tsuzuke you I’m shooting star

Even if what waits for me at the end of this path, is a fate to gradually disappear I’ll keep running forward I’m a shooting star!

目まぐるしいスピードで me magurushii supi—do de 移り変わる世界 utsuri kawaru sekai 振り落とされないように furi otosarenai you ni 強く手を握った tsuyoku te wo nigitta

This world is changing at a dizzying speed In order not to be thrown off the horizon, I gripped your hand with all my strength

あの頃僕らが標した ano koro bokura ga shirushita 未来の座標とは　 mirai no zahyou to wa 随分かけ離れた所に zuibun kake hanareta toko ni 立ってるけれど tatteru keredo

Way back then, we had marked the coordinates of the future Even though they stand in a place awfully far away —

今は ima wa

Now

守りたい何もかも mamoritai nani mo ka mo 僕を取り巻くすべてを boku wo tori maku subete wo たとえ壊れても tatoe kowaretemo 傷ついても構わない kizutsuitemo kamawanai

I want to protect everything that surrounds me Even if I am completely destroyed, even if I get hurt, I will not mind

いつか遺した足跡が itsuka nokoshita ashiato ga 誰かの道になるから dareka no michi ni naru kara 走り続けよう hashiri tsuzuke you I’m shooting star

The footprints I’ve left behind a long time ago will one day become someone else’s path Because of that, I’ll keep running forward I’m a shooting star!

だから dakara

That is why —

守りたい何もかも mamoritai nani mo ka mo 僕を取り巻くすべてを boku wo tori maku subete wo たとえ壊れても tatoe kowaretemo 傷ついても構わない kizutsuitemo kamawanai

All that I want to protect and everything that surrounds me Even if they are completely destroyed Even if I get hurt, I will not mind

この道の行き着く先が ko no michi no ikitsuku saki ga 消えゆく宿命（さだめ）だとしても kieyuku sadame datoshitemo 走り続けよう hashiri tsuzuke you I’m shooting star

Even if what waits for me at the end of this path, is a fate to gradually disappear I’ll keep running forward I’m a shooting star!

I’ll be there to live with you I’m a shooting star!

Science notes:

1) Shooting stars (aka meteors) are rocks which specifically burn up in a planet’s atmosphere. Hence ‘even if my fate is to gradually disappear’.

2) Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation in the line ‘mutual force of attraction’, because every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points.

@sakurazukamouri: ‘Pu-erh tea’ and ‘24 flavors’ for the ask meme

Pu-erh tea

I think everyone already knows my favorites. I will recommend The Pushcart War and Ella Enchanted to anyone who will listen. I am also inordinately fond of The Thief Lord (about a tough pack of orphans in Italy and a magic merry-go-round) and Crown Duel (the noble misunderstandings of a brave girl with a sword).

24 Flavors

Oh dear. Favorite word?

I grew out of all the easy-to-pick favorites from The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles a long time ago... Look, the thing about me, is I can’t choose. Practically a different answer any time. But the true answer probably isn’t even technically a word. Don’t believe me?

- “Probably,” judging by how many times I tried and failed to pronounce it properly as a child (I kept making it “probabably”)

- “Enthusiasmic incorporation of the hesper” - ever since Diane Duane wrote this phrase I can’t get it out of my head. Is it “enthusiasmic” (enspirited, as opposed to ensouled) or “hesper” (pre-Lucifer/redeemed Lucifer) that I like more? Oh, but neither of those are real words...

- “Tesseract” - yes, thanks, Madeleine L’Engle, we all needed a word for a space-folding teleport...

- “Ansible” - Orson Scott Card copied the faster-than-light instantaneous communications device name from Ursula K. LeGuin

- “Quaffy” - a sufficient fantasy coffee substitute. From “Dan adn Nad and Quaffy,” courtesy of Diana Wynne Jones

- Fine, I’ll just leave this here... http://time.com/82601/the-origins-of-writerly-words/

- “Exquisite!” It’s the way the magistrate’s fashionable wife Tai-Tai says this word in every single episode of Sagwa. It’s beautiful

- Ojamashimasu - my favorite Japanese word, blame OHSHC for teaching it to me; 夢 (yume, dream) and 必然 (hitsuzen, inevitable) can be blamed squarely on xxxHoLic

- Deinonychus, Therizinosaurus, Parasauralophus, Compsognathus, and Giganotosaurus (...I can still spell these with uncanny accuracy. Yikes. However, my pronunciation of Compsognathus is probably correct only 25% of the time)

- “Lethargy,” for being a word that sounds like exactly what it means. Yes, cover me with a wet blanket and leave me to die already, I don’t have the will to move. Kudos to JK Rowling for coining “lethifold” and making that concept even more explicit

- “Indignantly,” “verbose,” “vacuole,” “vacant,” “vague,” “inept,” “in potentia,” “et cetera,” “eloquent,” “evidently,” “euphoric,” “pickings,” “android,” “quadruple,” “thrice,” “exegesis,” “cataclysm,” “imperceptible,” “undulate,” “xerox,” “exemption,” “eschelon,” “intervention!”

- What the heck kind of a word is “poultice”

- A word that we all love to hate: “décolletage” (who let the French out! Who, who, who, who!)

- “Fascinating.” Spock will see you out the door now, I’ve embarrassed myself enough.

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

Either Tsubasa and Watanuki visited Yuko on the same day, or this is part of the causal loop and some sort of space-time anomaly madness is taking place here. 

But, then again, what are the odds that Yuko would be depicted in the exact same position and wearing the exact same outfit when either of them first lay eyes on her? Even the smoke around her and Tsubasa/Watanuki is drawn exactly the same.

Tsubasa and Watanuki have the same reaction too...

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

Then Moro and Maru’s welcome is almost the exact same except for Moro and Maru switching places in the panel “a guest for master”/”mistress, a customer” panels. 

And knowing CLAMP, I bet this was 300% a deliberate choice.

Chapitre 210: The words one would like to know

I don’t even know how to explain this...

But I have to say that I love that Tsubasa (”Syaoran”) and Tsubasa (”Sakura”) also why is this so complicated are the “beginning” and at the same time not?

From chapter 199--from Tsubasa's (”Syaoran”) flashback:

And yet, the two clones felt compelled to follow the same fate as the originals because their bond is inevitable.

But as Syaoran tells Tsubasa, the clones never get the privilege of that resolution. 

Because both clones die.

And this moment...

Not only is it so...

But it also echoes Syaoran’s longing for a proper resolution to their fated bond, because in the end, Syaoran and Sakura are not Tsubasa and Tsubasa also why is this so complicated.

Which is how we end with Syaoran and Sakura wishing to be reborn and thus continue their existence to atone for their past deeds (?)...

And at last! Right before they are reborn and separated...

Which is how they meet in a different dimension, get married and have a child named Tsubasa together. 

And which is how said child will one day feel compelled by fate to travel to another dimension where he will meet a princess by the same name.

And here’s where we become aware of the causal loop with no beginning or end. As we already know, Tsubasa hesitates to take Tsubasa’s hand leading to him wishing to turn back time and having to pay with his freedom, the creation of the clones yada yada yada. 

No beginning. 

No end.

Yuko even tells the clones that after they are reborn, they will meet their other selves at some point or another.

Something that Tsubasa confirms Sakura told her.

And while we are told that time starts moving forward, given Yuko’s confession, I have to wonder whether Tsubasa World Chronicle isn’t part of another, bigger causal loop disguised as a time loop. 

I’m still trying to figure it out but I failed the Advanced Theory of Time and Causality in Quantum Physics class I didn’t take while in college no but why is this so complicated.

One of the things I love most, to bring it back full circle (because that’s at the core of Tsubasa after all), is the idea that the originals and the clones were fated af.

So that when time “starts moving forward again”, Tsubasa and Tsubasa have a conclusion to that conversation that has no beginning:

Hitsuzen 必然.

And if I had to make a super wild guess/crack theory about what is happening--my best guess is that either Clow’s wish to keep Yuko from dying accidentally created an AU that is looping on repeat--hence why they both feel responsible for Sakura and Syaoran or errr... Tsubasa and Tsubasa. 

Just the way Kamui, the Angels and the Seals are archetypal personifications of the larger drama that is the apocalypse in x/1999, I wonder whether Tsubasa and Tsubasa are personifications created by Clow’s imagination/wish the same way Fei Wang Reed is a personification of Clow’s wish to keep Yuko alive.

In other words... considering the world that Yuko claims to have warped is “the first one,” the characters in Tsubasa all a dream that someone is having?

And if you buy into the idea that we are “God’s imagination of him/herself” then... basically Tsubasa could be a depiction of a creation myth of two very powerful beings--Clow and Yuko, whose “love story” was interrupted in the space-time continuum by Yuko’s death.

Izanagi and Izanami maybe?

Idk. I feel like I haven’t drank enough cool-aid coffee or smoked enough pot to get on CLAMPs esoteric level of quantum madness. I also feel like I don’t have all of the pieces of the puzzle to understand the causal loop they are caught on.

Did this make ANY sense though? Probably not bahaha why is this so complicated. I don’t even know what the point of me writing all this was other than because why the fuck not.

Literal picture of me trying to understand the causal loop in Tsubasa:

TLDR: 

Syaoran and Sakura are cute af. 

They’re also fated af. 

Don’t mess with them when they are trying to confess their love to one another. IT WILL HAPPEN, you hear me?!!!!

It will happen in 👏🏼 every 👏🏼 single 👏🏼 au.

Syaoran might have been unconsciously acting out his programming throughout the first 100 chapters of TRC--thus following the artificial fate that whatshisface had created for him. It is in the core of his personality to do whatever he can do as long as there is something he can do, he is Tsubasa after all.

But for that first half of the story, Syaoran’s heart, his soul was still overriding his programming.

It isn’t until the seal is broken that Syaoran’s programming overrides his soul.

He’s even shown walking in the opposite direction.

And while he remains as single-mindedly determined as ever (because personality is different from soul), his kindness and his love and admiration for Sakura have now taken a backseat to getting the feathers back.

In the first panel, Sakura worried about Syaoran getting hurt physically and emotionally for her sake. In the second panel, however... 

I couldn’t think of any parallels between the two panels other than that bahaha.

Anyways... maybe in the second panel Sakura is mourning Syaoran’s soul taking a backseat. 

After how far she’s come, stepping up to take back her memories rather than remaining a damsel in distress who needs to be rescued, perhaps all Sakura wants is to continue growing with Syaoran.

In the end, what’s the point of Syaoran collecting the feathers for the sake of collecting the feathers if he’s not there to watch Sakura bloom into the powerful young woman that she is?

Sakura doesn’t want Syaoran to keep hurting himself for her sake. As she proved during the Piffle, Acid Tokyo and Infinity arcs, she is more than capable of getting her feathers back. 

What she wants is Syaoran’s heart.

And like... the fact that she’ll never get her memories of Syaoran back and yet the bond is still there? Ah... 

Hitsuzen 必然.
