Hm! I have no idea where to post this, but felt like Nataku might be a difficult character to understand. So I wrote out an explanation of him for those that were curious and otherwise confused by him.

I apologize for its length. *laughs and blushes*

/on that post like white on rice

SO THAT'S WHY.

I've been trying to read X/1999 but my attention span is a little all over the place.

Nataku is such an interesting character. *A*

I at least got to the part where Nataku first arrived. /snugs

Oho, intriguing. So he takes his cues from outside sources. ...I'm pretty sure you already said that, sob.

--I MEANT IN X BUT. I have stalked some of the old NeoGenesis stuff. ///////;

....I find that entirely too adorable.

BLAME RIE BLAME RIE. SHE LINKED ME. Though I found him on Squalo's posts on my own. I LIKED IT YEAH. BUT JOHAN FROM MONSTER SCREAM.

Yes. ///

AHAHA I'LL CHEER YOU ON. I. Need to watch Monster.

WELL IN NG HE KIND OF SCARED ME SHITLESS but he's so cute and interesting in SC that I'm really fond of him. For serious.

/refuses to read that post for the fact that it would be considered a spoiler on unraveling the Nataku.





/reads it anyhow.

... Pfff. <3 And, erm. Just want to say. I love what you're doing with him. ): He's definitely interesting and deserves the effort/thought you put forward, seriously.

[identity profile] closedmarket.livejournal.com 2010-07-18 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
;w; I've wanted to say it often, SO. I might even eventually get to finishing X, with the cast going here.

Yeeeah. I go into any CLAMP series expecting a no-end. )8 But the in-between is worth it!

I am always disappointed when I see that people haven't read X. :(

But then again, Viz did some pretty crappy translations for it. Bawww, Nataku. ;;

X and Clover are my favorites -- and TB, though I think TB was more revolutionary back when I read it just because there wasn't anything like that readily available, especially since it wasn't translated way back when.

You did an excellent job explaining things concisely without getting too wordy or technical and I always appreciate that. :) Honestly, I could go on for thrice that in length about Zee, but... she's been around since the early 60s. It's a bit easier. x3

I'm a bit on/off about that. I sort of like that it's forever unfinished and untouched, that it's still able to get a reaction out of me 'til this day without there being a true end. As for... TB. There were no such things as scanlations when I first read it. :') If you were lucky, you could hunt down a .txt file of the translation on some beat-up Geocities site. AHHHHH NOSTALGIA.

Aww, you're welcome. I like that you've also included some SC history and info, too, because that helps understand how he's changed/changing and the connections he's made (which I imagine would also help any prospective players bunches, too!).

As for the animation, those were written by Dini, who sort of... I like what he's done to bring her character to mainstream/non-regular comic readers' attentions, but he really has a poor grasp on her characterization. Plus, DCAU doesn't have John (or Alec), since they're Vertigo properties. I really hope that she shows up more in BatB than just that one opening. I'd love to see her, Deadman, Ragman, Madame Xanadu, Doctor Occult (who did get his appearance in the JLU comics, yay!), and others of the Sentinels of Magic getting some love. Though I hope they don't call them the Trenchcoat Brigade again (because that was Stranger, Mr. E, Constantine, and Occult :/).

Ah, well, I am a Subaru and Seishirou fan, but I love Karen and Aoki (but in good conscience I can't ship them except in TRC sob). Poor Nataku. He really had the most interesting backstory that really could stand to be expanded on -- same with Yuuto, but that's only because he has none. People think that his card was a hint, but was it really? SIGH.

Rofl the movie, yes. THREE SECOND SEISHIROU/SUBARU FIGHT. And the best part is, after reading the manga the film still doesn't make sense. "...why did Fuuma rip off the arm of his own teammate before he'd finished off everyone on the other side? :|a" oh CLAMP. Pretty art, though. Ideally, volumes... about 11-13 were probably my favorite, stylistically?

Well, awwww. She would've hugged him, you know? Zee is surprisingly ~motherly~ and really likes to stand up for people. BUT NO I DIDN'T FIGURE IT OUT HAHA. With all the characters here (80%, maybe?) that I'm unfamiliar with I sort of got ~lost~. Basically, all you need to know is that Zee is one of the few in the DCU that treads the line of DC and Vertigo and thus...

...well, druggy sex magic, I guess.

I admit I read your app, so now I have to read this. Every time I log with him...well, I'm intrigued. AKA, I like your rping of him. /goes to read.

Vincent doesn't like hearing about others being guinea pigs and lab rats, so he does a bit of stalking when it comes to reading Nataku's post. Kinship--/likes the sound of that. :)

You're welcome. :) I skimmed the post just now and I plan to reread more thoroughly tomorrow.

AND SO MUCH HE'LL TEACH ONCE HE STOPS ANGSTING. XD

fff, I have the feeling they'll get along nicely.

Hmm...the longer he hangs around in SC, it might change. At least I hope.

lol, I look forward to any interaction they'll have in the future. :)
