Well, I expected Seishirou to win, but not by that much of a margin, and Fei Wang in second place was also a surprise considering I’ve never heard anyone speak of him positively.

Happy Birthday Kurogane~!!♥

We all love you so much!! ✿♥

I commissioned Mimi awhile ago. I'm so happy with how it turned out. There are so many variations of this fanart that I couldn't decide which versions to post lol. All are cute~! Thank you so much again!!♥

"you're pretty annoying."

is any piece of media really complete without a pair of twins that are actively being tormented by the narrative?

you aren’t the monster they say you are

Day 6: Sakura x Syaoran

The ultimate power couple who always find each other no matter what time, country or dimension they are in. They are destined to be together no matter what. I love this couple so much! They are so wholesome that you really wish you'd find a love as pure and as innocent as theirs. Even in their Tsubasa Chronicle selves, they still found each other even if they live in different dimensions. Their clones also managed to fall in love with each other.

Thinking about how in Tsubasa after reading the entire story how it changes how you feel about all the arcs. Spoilers for the ending and Nirai Kanai and xxxHolic below

There is no happiness in the way the arcs end especially once they reach Tokyo end, there is a sense of completeness but never like: ah yes we are happy now.

The best they get is a sense of satisfaction at having reached the goal and saving people but you know the final goal could potentially take decades and is seemingly endless and that is daunting for the cast.

And once shit starts hitting the fan theres nothing but tragedy after tragedy, the loss of Syaoran, Fai’s near death, Sakura’s loneliness and powerlessness, Kurogane’s anxiety for the other shoe to drop, the ENTIRETY OF CELES, knowing theyre all trying to cope as best as they can but every world they’ve visited since Tokyo has only faced a massacre in Clone!Syaoran’s wake and how traumatizing it is and the pain of knowing he would never do it if he was in control. Not to mention Clone!Syaoran’s inner conflict of knowing deep down he loves Sakura but despite the soul he made it takes losing her WATCHING her DIE to finally bring him to the front however briefly it is.

And in the final end, Clone!Sakura and Clone!Syaoran remain in a state of limbo, kind of dead if we’re being brutally honest.

Like Tsubasa isn’t a story of a happy ending, it’s literally just coping with tragedy and loss. And I think this is what makes me love it so much, that yes all four survived but the cost was two main characters. Its not a satisfying ending, its just tragic, after suffering so much and setting everything right and even being able to live in the original timeline, the two beings that helped them survive this long don’t get to be in this happy ending. Syaoran sacrified his parents, his childhood, his freedom, his time, his chance at a normal life and he still doesn’t get to be with his Sakura all the time. Clone! Syaoran himself said there was a timeline where Sakura and Syaorn can never be together and the knowledge that there was going to be an even worse timeline is so horrific after all that suffering…

And if we want to get into Nirai Kanai, I think this is the only part of Tsubasa I outright sobbed, the cruelty of Syaoran SEEING Clone!Syaoran or his father and needing to FIGHT him and him STAYING DEAD, was so painful. How much Syaoran didn’t want to do it but he had no choice. Not to mention Watanuki had to do the same with Yuuko to help Syaoran(they really do be the same person huh?)

Absolutely stellar character introduction

Such a cute found family~✿♥

what the fuck is with all the fics that have Kurogane teaching Fai how to fight in yama???

i mean, did you just skip a bunch of pages when fai was doing things?

hashin (the very 1st world!) gives us this: "hes a combat veteran" - kurogane

and then in koryo (world #2): it takes skill to spin a staff that fast, and hes not even paying attn to it

and outo: where he turns getting kurogane to attack him into a game

and the darts!

all of these are before yama!
