Oh man oh man oh man this story just keeps getting more and more amazing.

I'm not much of a Syaoran lover but "Syaoran cried, and he swiped angrily at his tear-streaked cheek with his sleeve" just got to me. Poor kid never has it easy :P

mikkeneko February 21 2011, 13:18:48 UTC

No, he always has a hard time :( You know, I realized after rewatching CCS recently that Syaoran has now three times in this universe/continuitity missed that grab for Sakura's hand when attempting to save her from certain doom?

On the other hand, this is kinda all his fault in the first place... So...

Oh, but the poor boy neither knows that he's a pawn of the dark force, nor did he ever wish to be one (not considering possible suppressed memories, here)... It could just as well be the mages' fault for not having the personnell at hand to inspect him more closely before he was way inside the castle walls... ~__~

Hopefully, Fai can track Bad Guy No. 1 down through that spy eye, or something... orz

mikkeneko February 21 2011, 23:53:25 UTC

Yeah, or it's Kurogane's fault for bullying the guards into letting Syaoran pass when they (quite rightly!) wanted to keep him out... Or Ashura's fault for killing of Fujitaka even though Fai swore up and down that he wasn't a magical threat. Or for that matter Sakura's fault for being so naive as to show a foreigner and total stranger all the secret weaknesses of the palace! It took a lot of hands to create this clusterfuck, but Syaoran himself is just a pawn.

I still prefer shoving all the guilt at FWR, which is getting decidedly harder, now that the guy has a face and ambitions. *sigh*

mikkeneko February 22 2011, 13:12:16 UTC

>.> Naw, not hard at all. He may have ultimately (somewhat) sympathetic intentions, but he's willing to do some pretty horrific things to achieve that end, and really doesn't care who he tramples in the process.

Well, if he thinks the world is ending... okay, not really. Though I'm still waiting for how he's going to explain that the war he provoked served humanity. He could hardly claim that he wanted to wipe out the wizards, he's one himself, and hindering Nihon from grabbing more land... idk, doesn't sound reasonable to me. And getting a war started just to get his hands on Sakura? That'd make him one evil bastard.

His true drama, though, will always be that ugly concession of Clamp to shonen manga in his face -- that thing really stands in his way to make his motives look more than somewhat sympathetic, no matter what he does. *facepalm*

Kid obviously needs to work on his depth perception .__. I know he's missing an eye, but (I think?) he had perfect 20-20 in CCS so that's no excuse.

please don't make me consider rewatching CCS I have lots of work to do xDD

mikkeneko February 21 2011, 23:54:27 UTC

I JUST FINISHED REWATCHING ALL OF CCS! YOU MUST TOO!
CCS WILL RULE ALL!
