Somehow, when Kubo Tite planned his manga, I don't think he had this in mind. Esp. for Urahara Kisuke & Benihime. Freud and Jung would have had a field day analysing this, where underlying mindset is concerned.

Hrm. Interesting. I don't know about the freudian angle but as it has been suggested that the swords are reflections of their owners I have to wonder if this isn't suggesting a profound level of narcissism on Kisuke's part. On the other hand, if it works for him, even manifesting as a semi-separate being, then would that actually be bad?

You picked up on the possibly overmuch narcissism! *whistles* If you pick out the other 2 things I was in a snit about, I'll be extremely impressed. It was born after the last 2 chapters from "Tag".

I've always felt that in a sense,he's not quite honest/unselfish (enough), even with himself. What I wanted to do was try and develop that, to make him acknowledge the part that makes people... people.

Even then-- if he does finally understand it--, they are doomed anyway. The significance of the rise and fall of drapes- Wait, I'm not giving that away so easily.

Wait, you mean I have to actually read it carefully instead of just skimming it now? I did read most of Tag, but I usually skim over these fics that consist of one chapter declarations of love, no offense intended. Indeed, if you were less of a writer, no skimming at all would have occured. Hrm. Maybe some time when I'm in an odd mood I'll take you up on that challenge.

*Feels almost embarrassed that you read this, much less went to the story askhjd; hje;lfj Wasnotexpectingthatack* Relax, my skin isn't that thin and 'sides, my writing standard still has a relatively long way to go to match the unique likes of.. well, those 4 people I mentioned in that book Meme.

Someday... *dreams*

Heh. Rather like entrusting your keys to a kleptomaniac, eh?
Ah, well, if I wasn't looking through all your stuff I'd probably be ignoring you (I'm a creature of my moods and they usually come in two types), so this is probably better than that.
