Rereading X/1999....

[bard_linn]

So Kir and I are about halfway through the anime of x/1999 and I've started rereading the manga while I wait in the parking lot for work to start (traffic is horrible if I try to be there RIGHT at eight). Despite being The Official Translation (and thus, horrible issues because of when/how it was translated) I'm still finding things I missed/forgot. I saw the X anime first, plus I've watched it three times, so that sticks in my head more often than the manga. I clearly need to read it more. Most important of my observations: Kotori and Kamui are adorable. I would totally ship them and write fic for them except, well, you know. I really don't ship Fuuma (nice, brotherly not dark Kamui version) and Kamui at ALL (except maybe some Fuuma ---> Kamui).

Hi. My life has been taken over by house paperwork, my summer job and sewing for Otakon. don't expect to see a lot of me right now.

Tell you what: I'll answer your observations when I get a chance to finish through Kamui picking his side (since that's most of the Fuuma-Kotori-Kamui stuff anyway). Though in short: I fully agree that Fuuma appears to have a Very Deep Thing for Kamui - it's the other angle I'm not getting shippy vibes for.

Yes, I was very much hoping for an answer - otherwise I would have just grumbled to myself~~

I guess we have different definitions and expectations of shippy vibes?

What I think is that Kamui clinging to Fuuma after the Choice might have more to do with Kamui feeling guilty for not having protected Kotori and Fuuma than TRU LUV. How much actual feelings and of what nature are there seems to be open to interpretation.

Can we agree that Fuuma is important to Kamui? At least as a friend? That much is evident, right? Or I'll begin to doubt myself! I'd like to understand Kamui better, that's why I insist on rambling. I don't really know if Kamui was in love with Fuuma before his Choice and I've been wondering about it.

Can we talk about Kamui's feelings or lack of thereof for Fuuma when you're done, then?

Oh yeah - Kamui totally cares a lot for Fuuma. He mentions that several times. I think he really thought of him either a close friend or a brother. But like I said - haven't finished up to that point, so I want to get there first. ^^ (I may just finish everything published, so I can get a good handle on what I want to say. ^^)
