Hi!

This is actually my first post (so hello again!) but I did want to ask a question.
Has anyone read chapter 142 yet? )

I'm not sure Watanuki's actually woken up at all since Sakura appeared in his dream. Because if he did, she'd be screwed, right? So until Sakura is safe, Watanuki's gonna have to dream. I think everything has been a dream so far. I'm gonna pretend it's real for the sake of fics, for now.

Holic =/= Tsubasa =/= X. Or else the world as I know it will end.

Then it's a lot more like Waking Life then I feared. Only... that's about some guy to comes to the conclusion that he might be dead because he keeps waking up into more disjointed dreams.

But that does make a lot of sense, and at the same time I feel a lot better for Sakura. I think I'm going to go with that, because anything else nearly breaks my brain. Thank you!

I've become quite good at rational explanations that give me relief. If only because otherwise I could not function in any kind of life, normal or otherwise, and would constantly be in the throes of panic or despair. I tend to obsess... You're quite welcome, though. Glad to be of service.

I think I want to see this movie. Sounds fun.

Oh, it's very good! (And that's coming from a film student! Though that only says so much.) And I was just reading up on lucid dreams and apparently it's possible to "fall" into one from a waking state without noticing. Though it's good because you can do whatever you feel like and virtually create your own reality for a little while.

And I haven't fangirled like this in years. It almost feels good, freaking out about something not real for once. And even better, being able to talk to people about it!

Am I the only one who liked 142 for the angry Tanpopo?

But onto Watanuki... I will weep bitter tears of angst if he's like Yukito or some other messed up thing.

You know though, CLAMP did mention something about a 'happy' ending. whatever that means.

then again, they like watching us squirm, so everything might just be a ruse to make us writhe in pain and agony waiting for the next chapter and everything.

Aw, I liked angry Tanpopo too! I was just distracted by fear.

If Watanuki ends up being some kind of 'vessel' or something, being pretty much that he is a lie... I will finally hate CLAMP forever for wasting years of my youth worrying about their creations. (I swear, they carry in them just as much sadism in them as any and all of the characters combined, for what they do to their fans. If not more.)

'Happy' ending. One can only hope. Or laugh skeptically.

And no, you certainly do not fail! *dances you out of the corner*

*ignore my RP account*

&hearts the poor thing only wanted more strawberry sherbet. But fear is a legit distraction.

... Oh god, I'd die if that was the case. Especially after what's happened to Suzaku lately. It'd be horrifying if Watanuki was a lie. DD8 I mean, what!??! CLAMP~~~ ;~; Doesn't help that he's my favourite CLAMP character so far either. >_> (More. It's definitely more. They're the creators after all)

I CHOSE TO HOPE! Simply because if I didn't, then all my fandoms are screwed beyond repair anyway.

*is danced out of corner~*

I liked it, too, but I think I liked 141 better for the whole "Ah--ah--AHH!" thing. XD XD XD

... So if Watanuki was like Yukito, then his Yue would be Syaoran? I suppose it makes sense in a way. SO, is Doumeki going to give something up to keep Watanuki from disappearing? *cough* Yuuko did say that Watanuki wasn't going to disappear, so I'm hoping that he does get a good ending. T_T

... Wish xxxHOLIC chapters were longer. ;_;

i know this might be out there but personally i feel yuko is training Watanuki to be the new her

I would really really love for that to happen. Really. That's what I thought at first too but all of these things that are happening to him are just confusing me. More so than what's happening to him, I want to know why it's happening.

Nice theory. He did ask what she wanted... hey, *pulling the YuukoWatanuki fan in me* do you think of all the xxxHolic characters, Yuuko will be one of the people most hurt (? is this the right word? [Doumeki aside, though, if you insist]) if Watanuki didn't really exist?

I have that same fear as well T_T but I swear, if the whole series ends with "and it was all a dream" Then I'm going to get annoyed >_<

Although a little part of me hopes that Doumeki might be able to help Watanuki (I keep thinking about the egg that Yuuko gave him. I was trying to think of a way it could help Watanuki... but I'm not comming up with any ideas ;_;)

Let's just hope that Clamp won't be cruel to Watanuki *coughsTokyoBabyloncough*

The beginnings of the last two chapters have Watanuki waking up from something. I agree with the person who posted that perhaps everything that has happened to Watanuki since meeting Sakura has been a dream.

Yeah, I agree...there are some weird moments in the last two chapters wherein Watanuki is unsettled by something. So 141 is not a random filler after all!
