My love/hate relationship with CLAMP deepens.

Just caught up on new xxxHolic/TRC chapters because I didn't want to ruin the nice, planned evening with husband with OMGWTFBBQ. ( the OMGWTFBBQ commences. Spoilers! )

tsubasa, xxxholic

I haven't been keeping up with Tsubasa, because I know that it will be ANGSTY and I don't need that right now. OMG. WHAT?! KUROGANE ISN'T DEAD! HE CAN NEVER DIE!! I did read the new chapter of xxxHolic, but that's not helping things much. There are holes popping up out of nowhere, just like the ones Fei Wong uses, with mysterious (mermaid-like?) hands randomly grabbing things...

And where did Doumeki go? What happened after Watanuki told him he doesn't remember the names of his own parents? Clamp, why are you so evil?! T__T

For some reason, I forgot that FWR likes to use those little holes, probably because I've been reading too much Bleach lately. I miss the cracktasic TRC days, although I do appreciate the need for a plot.

I know! The distinct lack of Doumeki made me wonder WTF is going on. I wonder if he saw the hole through their shared eye?

Only an insane person doesn't appreciate a good plot, but I usually fall away from series for reasons like that. It starts out cute and cracktastic, but then the angst settles in, to the point that I can't stand it anymore. I want more Doumeki/Watanuki loving, not these out of sequence chapters that hardly move the story along. And, while this may be too much to ask from Clamp, I want all the characters in Tsubasa to have a happy ending. Now.

Also, about Fei Wong, I'm still upset that he's behind the death of Kurogane's mother. Not to mention he screwed up his life and destroyed everything he loved. Oh, and the fact Fei Wong is so low he would use those holes to take her by surprise and kill her in a sacred place is also part of it. Yuuko should do something about him.

It has gotten too heavy lately. I want more DxW and less WTF? Yes - they all need happy endings But CLAMP seems to be incapable of that. I'm a sucker for happy endings, and I may die if I don't get one.

Oh, I can't wait to see what Yuuko does about him, despite the fact she can only influence things so much. I'm beginning to suspect that it may be part of her "wish". (And maybe Watanuki will be the one to grant it?)

FWR = selfish, manipulative bastard.
