Oh dear dear dear.... Oh DEAR....

No, I haven't updated. I just found out some disturbing news, no one's online {let alone anyone who'd actually CARE} and if I don't rant I'll burst.

Warning: X Rant ahead. Beware of the spoilers or they'll bite ya.

Latest issue of Asuka mangazine is in... means newest chapter of X... last we left X, Subaru was angsting about morbidly embracing Seishirou's dead eye in a jar. "Don't take the eye!" I pleaded. "Don't take the eye! Think of poor Kamui! Not only will you become the emotionless assassin the Sakurazukamori on PURPOSE {idiot}, but THINK OF KAMUI, YOU BLOCKHEAD! Not to mention the whole dual eye color thing is so out of season."

But does Subaru listen to me? NO! Of COURSE not. Now, it's not 'certain' that he's smushed anything into his {still occupied, just defunct} eye socket, but darnit the verbs being in the past tense and all of Kakyou's [someone get this boy some Prozac] foreboding talk of the seventh angel being already replaced certainly reek of Subaru being angsty and stupid and NOT BEING WITH KAMUI.

I mean lookit this pic! LOOKIT IT! Two! Count 'em TWO functional eyes. ::sniffle::
{boots Subaru a good one, roughs him up and smacks him around}

ARRGH! Every other character gets to fondle, grope, and otherwise gratuitously manhandle Kamui; why can't Subaru? For that matter, why can't I?

Onward, CLAMP has this penchant for oh, say, excessively torturing and maiming their pretty boys emotionally and otherwise, and I want some good Subaru and Kamui 'interaction' to come out of this WITHOUT Subaru kicking the proverbial bucket! AAGGGHHH!!!

In other news, they did let Sorata and Arashi play kissy-kissy-nookie-nookie, and for CLAMP, that's a nice improvement since they like to be 'subtle' and never show any kissy-kissy-nookie-nookie {which I think is just to put the fans into a hormonal frenzy, but that's just me.} And.. well, I quite like Sorata, and Arashi's ok, and it's really nice and I'm happy for them since Sorata's gonna bite it and all {Course Sora-chan and Arashi have to learn that a hospital bed with bandages and IVs protruding from every limb is not the best or most romantic place to do kissy-kissy-nookie-nookie, and if I recall, didn't Sora-chan say he couldn't move well two chapters ago... says wonder for stamina, but I digress)

Why, oh WHY don't they just leave poor Subaru alone? Kamui had better do some serious knocking-of-sense into that boy. Grrr....

And you know, the more I think about it {since of course all I've been doing is sitting here and thinking about it}, the more it seems like Sora-chan and Arashi's kissy-kissy-nookie-nookie scene was placed just so so that way we'd get something we wanted to see to distract us from the fact that Subaru's now got himself a new eye. And of course, good things don't come in pairs in this book, and the death toll's been awfully low of late. Seishirou and his dead eye in a jar notwithstanding. Oh things do not look well... and just when Kamui was buying a clue too! Stupid Subaru.

Ok, I'm done I think. For now. Also there's no X in next month's mangazine so I'll have to wait for the February issue [and this one was a measly 13 pages]. Oh why do they torture meeeee....
