Yuuko debrief time! 

I love how we have in-text examples of exactly what Yuuko is talking about over in Tsubasa. As she says, if someone actually has a void then it won’t actually elicit any emotional response, because they feel nothing about it - just like when Syaoran’s soul went missing and he really was just emotionless all the way down. He couldn’t feel anything because there was nothing to feel with. And Yuuko uses that concept as a way to show Watanuki that even though it seemed to end badly he was actually completely correct and did actually offer her something valuable, but it was her choice not to take it.

OH OH OH I LOVE THIS SENTIMENT EVEN MORE. 

Watanuki, the sunshine child, worries that she didn’t want to hear what he had to say. But Yuuko puts aside whatever the customer might or might not want and puts Watanuki’s own feelings on the same level of importance. 

If Watanuki WANTED to express that sentiment then his feelings are valid and he has every right to have said it. His feelings and opinions are every much as important as anyone else's and deserve to be expressed. He is allowed to take up space in the world and be a full person, not only when it is conveniently what the other person wants to hear. 

Which is a sentiment Watanuki might not fully grasp just yet BUT ONE DAY.

So I'm kinda in a rut rn with fandom and I don't know how else to explain it. Because like. I'm in multiple fandoms. But I need a new thing, y'know? Like a brand new video game or show or just thing in general with characters to obsess over.

That being said, do you have any good recommendations?

I'm legit down for any and all. If you wanna list 89 things I've never heard of then please do. Seriously. Small fandoms, toxic fandoms, dead fandoms, I don't care.

I'm at the point where I'm gonna just go insane and start making up fandoms

What is "clamp"-? :0

I am so glad you asked, because you just opened the door to some serious nerdiness.

CLAMP is a conglomerate of what is now four women, but was once eleven doujinshi artists. Remember this, because it explains so much about their writing style and just. It’s incredible. They wrote Saint Seiya yaoi, ladies and gentlemen.

These ladies are well known for their art style, something that, if you like anime, you’ll likely recognize, even if you never knew who they were. Here are a few:

In the eighties, these women got together and decided they were going to create original work. By the time they created their first manga in ‘89, they only had a fraction of their team. Their first piece was RG Veda, and if you know the story of X/1999, you already know a large portion of the plot. But to be clear: a genderless main character often given masculine pronouns and a male friend embark on an epic quest. While this story has as tragic an end as X/1999 (and indeed is extremely similar to X/1999), GUYS, IT WAS AS CLOSE TO A GAY STORY AS THEY COULD GET AND STILL KEEP IT OUT OF B-L. These doujinshi writers created an LGBT+ love story as their first contribution to original work.

And it was a hit. It got two OVAs.

They wrote other stories with LGBT characters, too; their next series was about a little kid who stole things for his lesbian mothers, and there’s the famous Toya/Yukito ship in CCS that is canon. They had an early Ronin Warriors-type story with only two ronins (easily shippable, ppl) that also introduced the school they use in nearly every story of theirs that includes a school. They had a couple of smaller stories, too, after that.

By the early nineties, they were down to just the four that remain now, and they created stories you’ll likely recognize if you like anime, including Magic Knights Rayearth, which piggybacked on Sailor Moon’s success but, imo, did it a bit better (likely due to the shorter run, to be fair, but still) and Cardcaptor Sakura. Ever heard of Tokyo Babylon? That’s them. CLAMP School Detectives? Chobits? X/1999? Angelic Layer? Wish? All theirs.

But here’s where they have an amazing flex that, though I personally don’t like it, I have to applaud their balls. They created what is essentially a doujinshi of their own works called Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. In it, Sakura and Li from Cardcaptor Sakura live in an AU, and on their journey, they repeatedly meet multiple characters from their other universes. Biggest flex? They entwine TRC with another of their stories, xxxHolic, and make it so you can only understand either story by following both. That’s how big they are - they can get readers to follow two separate stories in an effort to understand either of them. Put it all into one big story? They could, but why bother when they can make it two and get people buying both? I can’t help but applaud the sheer chutzpah.

Anyway, these ladies are amazing and wonderful and while I don’t agree with everything they do, I still love them terribly and want to give them more love and appreciation because it’s what they deserve.

Edit: I forgot to give you their names! They’re Ohkawa Nanase, Mokona (yes, that’s right, Mokona like from their stories), Nekoi Tsubaki, and Igarashi Satsuki.

YOU ROCK, LADIES.

Perfect! No notes! A wonderful summary of Watanuki’s whole arc in 2 pages or less. 

[completeoveranalysis]

[19]

This is also the funniest way this could have gone. Naturally Watanuki feels bad for the way it all went but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You can only help someone so far, and only if they want it. 

Very fun to me that Watanuki just devolves into “Well if I ring the doorbell enough times maybe she’ll change her mind”.

On the one hand Watanuki gets a pass for being a fictional character that we know has good intentions, because this would be harassment otherwise. 

On the other hand he is so desperate to help someone. He is clinging to the idea that he might be able to grant her wish - even though it’s not even technically a wish he is granting, but fixing a fundamental fear that is haunting her. 

He won’t let this go because he’s just lost so much, he needs it all to matter, so he can do a good job on behalf of all the people he just lost. 

He is putting too much on himself, but yes I absolutely want to see where this goes. 

… but not now! Apparently that was the end of the chapter. 

Excuse me time to retire to the wailing room. 

[completeoveranalysis]

xxxHolic Chapter 89

OH IT'S GORGEOUS?

Now featuring Spider Lily, with some Spider Lily, with an extra helping of Spider Lily!

What could it all mean?

Except, you know, Death! Endings! Rebirth! Et cetera!

I am not an expert in the symbol but it’s Yuuko Ichihara so what could be more fitting than that?

I also just love the gentle posing of it all. Watanuki draped sideways and vulnerable, his neck exposed and his head turned the other way - but sheltered by Yuuko, held in place by the gentlest touch of her fingers on his forehead. It’s beautiful and speaks of the protection and careful shelter she’s provided for him all this time, especially now that we know just how vulnerable he was to Evil Wolverine without us ever knowing. But this is Yuuko after all, so of course she could pull that off with effortless grace and a sly look directly at the camera at the same time.

Also the COLOURS?

The contrasting yellow-orange and purple-blue of each of their kimonos? Matching the same colours as Watanuki's eyes?? But near their hands their different coloured lillies flow into each other as if they were one and the same? Or two halves of the same thing? Or the end of one being the start of the other?

Paint my entire wall with this I want to stare at it forever.

[completeoveranalysis]

[18]

Doumeki looks absolutely thrilled about that news. Thrilled. 

Also I know it’s just a translation choice but it is absolutely hilarious to me that Watanuki sadly considers the fact that his supernatural family has completely vanished from existence and he might never see them again, and then immediately follows it up with 

“Naw”

[completeoveranalysis]

[12]

This feels strangely like a bookend to their first meeting so I’m just nervously going to keep reading out of sheer hope that I’m wrong and this isn’t what I think it is

It's fine it's fine there's nothing narratively final going on here it's all fine

WAIT NO

NO

NO

CLAMP DON’T DO IT

WAIT NO I’M NOT READY I DON’T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN

NO THANKS NO THANKS NO THANKS

But but but If I can stop myself from panicking too much it IS an actual book end. Yuuko adding the Hitsuzen Part II - people meet when they need to meet and they part when they need to part. The implication being EXACTLY what the entire chapter has been showing us every step of the way - that Watanuki has grown into everything that Yuuko was there to show him, and it would be hitsuzen for her to finally leave the store at this point. He IS ready to fulfill the demands of the store on his own, he’s grown to have the wisdom to answer all these strange and wonderful problems, and he also has the family and support system he needs to get through it all.

Watanuki first met Yuuko at the beginning of the manga (or like, this version of Watanuki, without his memories, first met Yuuko at the start of the manga) not knowing who he was or where he fit into the world. His inner fear that he didn’t deserve to exist meant his life was in turmoil, spirits hounded him wherever he went, and he was so scared by it that he wanted to wish it all away. 

And now it’s the opposite. He understands who he is and what he’s missing, he’s loved and feels like he wants to exist for the sake of those he love him, and he has a place that he belongs (and a place that is thrilled to have him there too, if you include Maru and Moro). He is no longer hounded by spirits - his life is in balance. He has reached his fully butterfly stage. 

And so there is no more for Yuuko to teach him.

But with that aside please excuse me it's TIME TO PANIC

[completeoveranalysis]

[10]

AWW

See there we go that ties it all up thematically! The people who love Watanuki can’t wait to taste the food he cooks, and that pulls the themes together in a nice little bow. Because they love what they know about him and what they find out about him even when he doesn’t know what it is. 

They’ll take the ibuprofen with you Watanuki you don’t even need to ask!

And he loves them too!

It’s perfect

[completeoveranalysis]

“A guy”.

Sorry Doumeki you are just some guy now.

Though actually since this is Watanuki we're talking about, "A guy" is probably the kinder version of of how he phrased it when he was practicing this speech to himself.

Oho it’s all starting to click into place. She hates the taste of her own food because she hates something about herself that she can taste through her own cooking. Still debating whether it's something truly horrible or if she really just doesn't like herself.
