rob i Need to hear ur fai opinions! also can i have some watanuki thoughts. 😷😷
a kate you know me so well
Sexuality Headcanon: gay. gay little thing.
Gender Headcanon: nonbinary gay person! he likes to present femininely. he and sakura have a mother-daughter dynamic. genderful
A ship I have with said character: kurofai FOREVER!!!!!!!! ive written thousands upon thousands of words of meta about them but they drive me bonkers fucking yonkers. the inextricable, intertwined character arcs... the perfect foils... the way that they SAVE EACH OTHER from their trauma... they are so good. wish clamp depicted them being tender but (sigh) whatever
A BROTP I have with said character: he and sakura have the most wonderful dynamic... he nurtures her. i wish clamp would stop focusing on c!syaoran so much and acknowledge that the last time fai saw c!sakura, he was forced to impale her with a big fucking sword. fucked up + traumatizing! regardless - the panels i have saved of them cooking together in outo sit warmly in my heart.
A NOTP I have with said character: fai/chii is so funnily terrible. clamp’s epic clapback against studio deen by making her a copy of his mom....... lmfao. also faisaku is the most vile possible thing on earth followed shortly by faisyao
A random headcanon: i think in a modern au fai would have to deal with a lot of internalized homophobia/transphobia along with all the trauma that comes with being fai... fai has very restricting ideas of how he should interact/bond with others even as those ideas go against his actual nature. ugh fai you are simply the saddest
General Opinion over said character: my favorite character ever!!! i love love love him, have since i was 13. he’s so special and important to me. i’m so glad he got a happy ending with his husband.
Sexuality Headcanon: he’s bi, but leans a lot more towards men than he thinks. his crush on himawari was about 75% because he expected himself to feel that way - performance. he REALLY suppresses his feelings towards doumeki. maybe this is my hc bc im a lesbian, who can say..........
Gender Headcanon: boy. could be a trans boy, but mostly i just picture several dudes i know in high school.
A ship I have with said character: douwata................. the ship for cucks. like me and like doumeki. their bond is so compelling and it just grabs your attention. how they share eyes!! and doumeki’s quiet steadiness... their melancholy, bittersweet domesticity in rou is also so moody and interesting. poor kids. i also like douwatahima on occasion! it’s sweet.
A BROTP I have with said character: ah yuuko... now that is a very weird mother complex. but their dynamic is the heart of holic and her strange mysterious nurturing and support of watanuki is like... i feel like she wanted to give him so much more help but her Situations forbade her from it. i do think she fucked him up in certain ways but she tried her best, and a lot of it was out of her hands.
A NOTP I have with said character: stanning watahima is what you get if you don’t think critically about the text whatsoever.
A random headcanon: despite how the text identifies him with cats, he actually prefers dogs - they’re easier to read.
General Opinion over said character: you can’t help but be fond of him. half of me doesn’t mind his super melancholy ending, i think it’s interesting. i thought the stuff about his cooking being a metaphor for him was soooo cool - how he can’t taste it as he loses his sense of self, but how doumeki has always loved eating it... AGHHH watanuki! i love the themes about being selfish being a good thing bc you have to value yourself very interesting.
