CLAMP?

Seriously though, you are funny, love- there's plenty of humour in your work, and I have just as many of laugh out loud moments in your work as I do sobbing moments of oh god it hurts. Your humour is clever and I enjoy reading it. So don't go thinking you're unfunny, ok?

:D

[mikkeneko]

YES! CLAMP! It's their fault, I'm perfectly happy to blame them. >E

[cloverfield]

Because while they are the ladies who gave us ICCHAN GO BOOM!, they are also the ladies who gave us the darkness that all but drips from ever page of X, and a staggering amount of mood whiplash in between! It's hardly your fault, considering what you've been reading!

p sure it went something like this

...except that I think this started in FMA too, so maybe I can't blame CLAMP after all. :|

[uakari]

but blaming clamp is a full time hobby O_O

what you talkin about

Re: what you talkin about

[cloverfield]

Actually, no, that's MORE TRAGIC because they used to be HAPPY and now they're FUCKED UP and even at the age of seven Fuuma was probably only one psychotic breakdown away from stabbing that puppy and drinking its tears.

what, like this?

[cloverfield]

Exactly! And if Fuuma giving Kamui the thousand-mile stare while licking blood from his fingers isn't a complicated metaphor for gay sex, then I don't know CLAMP.

My god, the images you have conjured in my brain O_______________O

Don't forget Duklyon.

Where CLAMP went meta and made fun of themselves for writing something so tragic as X. (Kentarou weeps after watching the movie and goes about saying he will write letters of complaint to CLAMP, yup!)

Re: what, like this?

[cloverfield]

Kamui: ...Fuuma, that's- that's not chocolate syrup.
Fuuma: For you baby, it could be.

Never read Duklyon, but I would love to! I've got my copies of Tokyo Babylon on alert for when they are published so I can order them, but do you know if Duklyon is being republished?

[zelinxia]

Not that I know of at the moment, but you never know! There's only two volumes.

I was very lucky and found my copies at a buy and sell bookstore, so they sold older mangas. They were still in pristine condition. \o/

[cloverfield]

Maybe I should look for it on betterworldbooks- they're a good source for second hand books in relatively good nick, and where I picked up my copies of legal drug.

[herongale]

Thank your lucky stars you never got into xxxHolic, at least...
