Oh CLAMP fandom why do you insist on getting dumber by the minute?

There seems to be a lot of... bitching... about CLAMP canon lately. Why, I don't know, it's not like CLAMP hasn't been around for ages and most of the manga that's being bitched about isn't anything new.


WAH! I'M TIRED OF SEISHIROU/SUBARU BEING SO ANGSTY!

Did you read the manga? Seriously?

They're both fucked up and their story ends tragically. That's the beauty of their relationship.

Instead of whining to the X fandom about SeiSub being too angsty, why not instead check out the Tokyo Babylon fandom. You know, the series they came from, where except for the ending they spend the entire time being happy together.

Oh, and there's no possible way for something to be well-written if the characters are OOC.

WAH! THERE'S NOT ENOUGH YURI IN MY FANDOM!

Umm... CLAMP really isn't a group that focus on yuri too much. They probably have more male/genderless pairings than they do yuri.

Let's see...

There's Saya/Toru from X, but they're both dead before the series starts. It's rather hard to write fanfics on two characters we barely know things about.

Then there's Kendappa/Souma in RG Veda, but fanfics there are hard to find period. When there's a lack of Yasha/Ashura, there's definitely going to be a lack of Kendappa/Souma.

Kendappa/Souma are also in TRC but unless you read RG Veda or was told they're a couple from another CLAMP fan, you wouldn't know it. Besides the fandom in general has no interest in fanfics beyond KuroFay and Sakura/Syaoran. If Seishirou/Subaru and Fuuma/Kamui can't get fics written about them in TRC, there's no hope in hell for Kendappa/Souma.

Then there is also Tomoyo; who doesn't get the girl AND as the only single lesbian there's no other girl in the series to pair her up with.

And that's pretty much it. Alternate ships you say? Well, the CLAMP fandom isn't really one that is big on alternate ships as most of the fans ship canon pairings. Seriously, think of the alternate ships in the CLAMP fandom, they really don't have many fans. The only ones that are hugely popular are Doumeki/Watanuki and Kamui/Subaru both which have bases in canon. Hell, some canon pairings have a hard enough time finding fans.

Instead of whining about the lack of yuri and blaming yaoi fans for it, why not whine about the lack of alternate ships? Instead of a dog pile your responses would have been 'WORD'.

minor bitching, clamp, fandom! it burns us!, stupid fat hobbit
