mayoraaseiIf only it wasn't gold but just sparkly stuff. I should like a power that makes everything I touch turn sparkly. That should be so...sparkly.
Anyway, that stem from this meme:

In other news: FRUITS BASKET IS FINISHED. YES. YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY. THE MANGA HAS FINALLY FINISHED. At 136 chapters or somewhere around that. Let's give it all a round of applause and get it out of our heads as quickly as possible.
(Highlight to view ending spoilers...I hope the style commands work on browsers other than IE)
The ending ties up all loose ends when it comes to character relationships. Ultimately it's a happy ending. The pairings are as such: TooruXKyou, YukiXMachi, AkitoXShigure, HatsuharuXRin, MayuXHatori, Ayame X the shop girl, and surprise! Kyou's Master X Hana...................I hope it was a joke. As far as explaining the curse is concerned, I still feel it's a crappy, botched job. In fact I feel that the entire ending of Fruits Basket is a crappy, botched job, although I hope I'm only speaking from the frustration of seeing it dragged out over so many months. It was given to melodrama and hysterics, and incredible sappiness, and the way the curse was "lifted" was probably the most blatant deus ex machina I've seen in a long time.
Amen, we loved it when it was still happy. RIP. Let's hope she comes up with something even better come next year. And I mean that sincerely.
I am totally in love with XXXHolic. I totally didn't realise when I read the manga that the daffodil vase was from Lawful Drug. I read LD last week, and though the main guy is kind of similar to Watanuki, I like Watanuki so much better.
In fact it's kind of surprised me how much I like him. By CLAMP's standards, he's not "pretty", he's clumsy, loud, whiny, petty (when it comes to Doumeki)...and most of the time he serves the comical role.
But maybe that's why I like him, because he's so unlike CLAMP's usual tragic heroes. Because he's always so "genki" (energetic), you almost forget how difficult his life must have been. CLAMP can be so beautifully subtle when need be. The weight of his past only shows when he is pressed into making decisions about his and his friends' well-being...the alarming disregard for himself.
I hope there's a second season of Holic *___* If there is, I also hope that they would link it up with Tsubasa this time, since XXXHolic has caught up with Tsubasa 2 at the ends of both series. I miss looking for the parallel =(
The manga for both are marching into the realm of angstiness =0=;;;
