TRC - How can I be depressed and excited at the same time!?

Sep 14, 2007 15:24

I've recently come to the conclusion that I'm getting tired of the TRC fandom. It's just getting too damn crazy; I miss the days when KuroFay fans were sane, when we'd spend hours fangirling over the crossover characters, when bashing didn't happen (well, FayChii fans bashed Hideki but I'm not sure if he counts since he's not in TRC yet), etc ( Read more... )

Yeah I backed away from the TRC fandom as soon as I saw people bitching because Sakura and Fye have a strong bond. wtf fandom wtf. They're family not romantic at all.

I really hope we get more of the hunter/vampire subplot soon. Right now would be good because we have r!Syaoran and Seishirou is bound to see the difference and much fun could be had with that.

4) It'll give the group time to rest since Seishirou and Kamui can battle it out over Subaru.
PLZ CLAMP. I WANT. Kamui would bitch and attack and Seishirou would smile darkly and tease him and Subaru would wibble because his twin a boyfriend can't get along. Or d33p angst that will make me cry. I AM UP FOR EITHER.

I think the Sakura/Fay stuff was the turning point for the fandom when things started becoming really crazy. It's since started to become worst.

Fuuma also needs to be there for the fight! Seeing Kamui worked up turns him on. I think I'll cry if Fuuma hasn't been stalking Kamui since they left Acid Tokyo.

It's crazy because it's like. wtf Fye is like her mother. How does she get in the way of FyeKuro or SyaSaku?

Oh yes, Fuuma needs to show up at some point. If for no other reason than Kamui is so cute when he's cranky.

I feel lucky sometimes that I don't have time for Clamp/Tsubasa forums. My entire Clamp fan experience exists on lj, i.e. people I already trust, so I get none of this shit that gives the rest of you headaches.

I remember years ago though, when I first got into Cardcaptors (yes, CARDCAPTORS). The forums were a nightmare. They were full of 14 year olds who made every discussion into an anti-abortion debate! And I really don't know how that can have anything to do with CCS. And they all rabidly denied Tomoyo/Sakura and Toya/Yukito too. Ugh, the bad old days.

I am so glad I missed out on the CCS fandom. You still find so many fans who claim that Tomoyo only loved Sakura as a sister and say that Touya and Yukito are just really close friends (Touya loves the Mirror Card, didn't you know!?).

kryptyd September 14 2007, 21:48:35 UTC

I seriously can't understand how anoyone can claim to love CCS and deny Tomoyo's love for Sakura. It's as cute (and not to mention undeniable) as it gets. Really, people like that are missing the whole point of what Clamp are trying to say about love.

The TRC fandom is run over with stupid.

I really don't understand why so many people think Nihon will be next. It doesn't make sense to me both logically and story-wise. Nihon is rather like feudal Japan, I'd imagine the best way they'd have to fix Kurogane's wound would be to cauterize it...which isn't pretty. They need another transition world first.

I agree that the subplot is probably going to come back up, that splash page wasn't thrown in there for no reason. There's so many lose ends to be tied up still. o_o

I banged my head a bit when one poster thought they'd have to go back to Tokyo for a continuation of the X!subplot, way to go for not noticing they can dimension hop. D:

rekallthegreat September 14 2007, 22:19:36 UTC

Nihon doesn't make sense to me either. We just had Celes and I can't see them going to someone else's homeworld so soon. Plus I really don't think Kurogane can get the help he needs there. People keep on saying that Tomoyo can heal using magic but we know that. I keep on thinking back to when Kurogane's mother was in bad shape while trying to protect the barrier; if Nihon is a world with healing magic, whey didn't they just use some on her?

The X subplot may not be next but I still say it'll happen at some point between vols 21-23. I'd laugh if the story jumped back to Sakura though since everyone hates her.

The person who thought they had to return to Tokyo for the subplot to continue also made me bang my head against the wall. The twins and Fuuma mentioned they were leaving at the end of the arc. Talk about not paying attention.

Hmm. Poor TRC fandom, you have exploded. I blame the Tsubasa anime and especially the shiny new Funimation release. /sneer. The old, sane, CLAMP fans I think have been turned off to the poor forum because of these people. Things would be so much easier, especially with the Syaoran debate, if we could finally get some really solid evidence against their crack theories. Frankly, I want Nihon to be soon, because that is where it will likely be "proven" that Kurogane and Tomoyo have no romantic feelings for each other, though their bonds are strong. Luckily, we had the "Chii is modeled after Fai's mother" thing to kill THAT pairing to an extent. DWell, I'm hoping they'll end up someplace new. The sexy foursome subplot needs to be resolved. ): Even if CLAMP brain farts and for some reason does send them to Nihon... there will at least be a downtime. At least, that's how I feel. Methinks it would be too convenient if they went to Celes and then, by some incredible mishap of chance, they end up in Nihon, another "home" world ( ... )

rekallthegreat September 15 2007, 04:22:48 UTC

I also think that the old, sane fans are getting turned off because of the crazy fans.

You have a point that going to Nihon will finally kill Kurogane/Tomoyo but I think CLAMP has already tried to kill it and the fans just aren't getting it. Like we had Kurogane being totally pissed over Fay wanting to die, Kurogane bounding himself for life to Fay being his bait and now Kurogane sacrificing his arm for Fay to live. I'm not sure what else he can do for the KT fans to get that he 'likes' Fay since he's not exactly a character who would admit his feelings out loud.

I miss having a stronger semblance of sanity in TRC fandom. Everything pretty much went to hell sometime during the Infinity arc, as far as I can tell.

3) is a good point in favor of the foursome showing up again soon, I think. CLAMP need to be tying up their loose ends as they're nearing the end of the story, and they can't leave that subplot unconcluded, since Seishirou still has the feather as far as we know.

What makes people think Nihon's going to come next? Because of the curse mark bit? Personally I don't expect them to go to Nihon until the very end, since it doesn't really have a conflict to be resolved other than whether Kurogane will end up staying there. And dealing with that just after Celes is way too much.

rekallthegreat September 15 2007, 04:16:53 UTC

Yeah it was the Infinity arc where things started going to Hell. Things were sane during Acid Tokyo but after the fandom fell apart.

I'm really not sure why they're convinced that Nihon is next. I heard plenty of people say that Tomoyo can use magic to heal Kurogane but I don't know if that's the only reason why they think it'll happen.

I agree with you, there's no real conflict going on there so there's no reason to go now. Kurogane has already said he wants to get revenge so it's not like there's this big dilemma where they'd have to convince him to continue with the journey.
