Shattered BlossomsTopic: Syaoran Li.. The almight Li Syaoran.. lol. |
 |
ka0ri-chanI love him. I would rant about why, but I've already done that more than three times on random forums that my fingers are protesting. Well, I love him. ^^ *Glomps Syaoran* |
 |
Shattered BlossomsHehe.. Sorry to bring this boring topic up.. |
 |
ka0ri-chanOh, it's not boring, because I can talk about Syaoran all day long! ^^ But then that would annoy people, -_- eheheh.. Yah.. but everything that I say has one essential meaning: I love Syaoran. ^^ |
 |
Shattered BlossomsMe 2.. sometimes when I read some fics where his hot and all.. I instantly act like a fool, stare at something I don't care what (hehe) and say "Aishiteru".. lol. |
 |
ka0ri-chanLol! Same! I always complain when they make Syaoran weak or pathetic or anything along those lines! I just can't help but see him as perfect! *swoons* |
 |
ApellesFunny, but I haven't thought of him as perfect in a while, which is most likely due to my sadistic hormones that have a unnatural habit of popping up when I write. I love torturing him. I love describing him and how messed up his body really is, for all those years of karate and etc must have put a strain on his body (not to mention the crap I put him through in fics...). Not the whole, just the small parts that tend to be the easiest to break, like his wrists. I just love messing up his wrists. Wrists are small and delicate, like a bird's wing, thus break with little effort. It is the one part of my-self I add in when I write him, for my own left wrist must have at some point been hurt (most likely I messed it up by punching a bag or wood board wrong. I was a really dumb student in my dojo) for now, whenever I rotate my hand a full counter-clockwise circle, it gives a delightful little snap!pop! which makes almost everyone I meet cring. Oh, the joy! |
 |
ka0ri-chanHey, my wrist does that too! But mostly around my thumb area. It gets irritating, it's always tensing up or cramping and I can't do anything to stop it and it turns to pain. -cries-I guess, I see Syaroan as perfect. His arrogance, better-than-you attitude and every quality people label as bad that he has, I find it perfect for him and love him that way. And the fact that he may be strong, yet can be defeated, his warm heart, yet how he closes himself off to contact, how he cares for Sakura and wants what's best for her first and him coming second, even last. He's just perfect! ^^ | #8 Jan 12th 2006, 11:32pm | |

Shattered BlossomsApelles...Lolz! I pity Syaoran in your fic.. and I also pity your wrist.. hehe.. | #9 Jan 13th 2006, 5:03am . Edited Jan 13th 2006, 5:04am | |

Shattered BlossomsKa0ri-chan...Humph! You just made me like him more! *smiles* | #10 Jan 13th 2006, 5:05am | |

ka0ri-chanGlad to have made more people love Syaoran! That is the way of my world. Lol..| #11 Jan 13th 2006, 5:32am | |

CataclysmicRealityfor now, whenever I rotate my hand a full counter-clockwise circle, it gives a delightful little snap!pop!My left wrist does that as well. And the base of my right thumb cracks in much the same manner when I move it a certain way. | #12 Jan 13th 2006, 7:45am | |
|
 |
ka0ri-chanHey, the same with my left wrist! o.0 I can also crack my neck really loudly, in drama classes when we do stretches everyone always turns to look at me. -_- I don't think its normal. I once read that to make weird cracking sounds when moving a joint, etc. it's because of past injuries. Er.. off track.. | #13 Jan 13th 2006, 10:08am | |
|
 |
CataclysmicRealityI used to be able to crack my sternum... It always felt like each rib was re-aligning back into their respective places... considering they're supposed to be fused in place... it's a little odd.And my ankles crack all the time. it's just normal for me. | #14 Jan 13th 2006, 11:19am | |
|
 |
ka0ri-chanMy ankles do to! And my brother does this thing where he sits still while rotating his upper body around to crack his spine. I'm still trying to do it. -_-| #15 Jan 13th 2006, 12:33pm | |
|
 |
CataclysmicRealityI can do that. The same occurs when you lean backwards over the back of a chair.. but that's more risky. However, I can do it standing now by putting my arm at the small of my back and leaning backwards over it.and I figured out how to crack my neck without using my hands, which is safer too. | #16 Jan 13th 2006, 1:16pm | |
|
 |
Apellesyou all have just proved my point. What exactly did you guys do during reccess? Practice motorcycle jumps? I was in karate and Tae Kwon Do classes, so I volunteered to be the human guine pig before I knew better (I still don't).lol| #17 Jan 13th 2006, 7:47pm . Edited Jan 13th 2006, 7:47pm | |

ka0ri-chanI didn't realize you could crack your neck with your hands... How's that possible? And I don't mean in the obvious sense.During recess? Um.. since I now attend an all girl school, there isn't much to do but sit down and stare at the bugs that crawl by.. I play soccor with my guy friends however, TACKLE FUNNESS! Also gives me a chance to glomp people without an excuse. =__________= I wish I had a motorcycle, but I'm not allowed, however, when I go overseas next year for vacation, my cousin will be teaching me how to ride! ^^ Sometimes I stalk my friends when they have karate lessons, but it seems they just want someone to beat up and practice their moves on. -mellow- THe only difference between us is that you volunteered Apelles. Tsk tsk tsk, all the bruises. | #18 Jan 14th 2006, 12:31am | |
|
 |
CataclysmicRealityyou hold the back of your head with one hand, and push your chin upwards and away so your neck twists at an angle. that's what makes it pop. twist it too far and you will damage your spinal cord.That's why I don't use my hands. | #19 Jan 14th 2006, 1:41am | |
|
 |
Shattered BlossomsHehe.. one of my classmate and almost friend likes to do things like that. but for me.. I'm afraid to do so.. such a coward.. hehe.. off topic.. but hey.. at least the forum is still alive..| #20 Jan 14th 2006, 2:55am | |
|
 |
ka0ri-chanA little too much strength and you can twist your neck too much and die. Interesting! ^^Ah, sorry, we got off track.. -_- | #21 Jan 14th 2006, 3:21am | |

Lord ArchiveNot TOO far off track. Syaoran is a trained martial artist, one trained not for sport but for defense of the clan. As such Syaoran (and Meilin) probably knows how to pop someone's neck if the need ever arised, though he's highly unlikely to ever use such a move.| #22 Jan 14th 2006, 5:23am | |
|
 |
ka0ri-chanI've always wondered, was Syaoran trained to defend or to attack? You say for the defense of the clan, but how much do we really know about the Li Clan?| #23 Jan 14th 2006, 5:36am | |
|
 |
Apellesnadda, zip. For the story of CCS, any sort of explaination as to what the Li Clan actually does would have been absolutly useless, for it would have just taken up more pages and not moved the story along at all. Though it would have been interesting for us semi cultural fans that love to learn more about all of the characters, I'll bet that for the most part, if we were reading and the Li Clan came up with no real relation to what was happening, then we would have skipped it or forgotten it the moment the manga was put down on the coffee table. That's for us wonderful fanfic authors to explore, for now CCS is not in a set story. My guess, Syaoran was made for both. The Li sounds too powerful to just simply defend themselves, I'm sure they know of key offensive moves to help gain whatever goal they are trying to achieve. | #24 Jan 14th 2006, 8:20am | |

CataclysmicRealityI was never trained in any kind of combat... So I took it upon myself to research every aspect of self defense and took particular interest in methods of one-hit methods of victory.Though... as such, I've never allowed myself to get in any kind of fights, since I might accidently use one of the killing spots. Seems that the only method I can safely use is the only one I've ever used... getting someone in a chokehold and just holding them there until they give up. But the impulse to use the finisher neck-break is strong there too... so I avoid fights as often as I can. I think Syaoran probably has a similiar attitude towards fighting hand to hand. That's why it's most likely for defense. | #25 Jan 14th 2006, 8:58am | |
|
 |
ApellesWhat's that saying? "offense is the best defense"?| #26 Jan 14th 2006, 11:46am | |
|
 |
ka0ri-chanCR: How about foot stomping and shin kicking, may be childish but it works in a fight very well, plus no one will expect it.I think Syaoran has restraint not to kill, why else would he allow himself to carry a sword? However.. thinking back to the Rika and Sword incident, he didn't really seem to care if he hurt her or not because he was after the card. | #27 Jan 14th 2006, 12:22pm | |
|
 |
Shattered BlossomsLol,Ka0ri-chan. I'm sure nobody would expect it.. Imagine someone using that strategy and beat the best one.. but then, is it allowed?Apelles... I dunno 2.. | #28 Jan 14th 2006, 7:37pm | |

CataclysmicRealityI find ways to avoid fights by talking... but for every given confontation, I automatically calculate all my options for taking an opponent down without killing them. One time there was this really drunk guy who was trying to get me to fight him. I managed to talk him out of it, but I was ready for a one move victory over him. (He was standing in front of a cinderblock wall, all I had to do was grab his face and quickly slam his head back into the wall... and since brains swell when one's been drinking, the swelled brain would recieve more of an impact that normal, thus knocking the potential opponent unconcious) It was a great plan. I really try to never get in a fight... but I've always wanted to carry through with one of my moves. I used to walk through the most dangerous areas of this one city in hopes I could justify a serious fight by someone trying to mug me... but I must have had a serious battle aura around me or something... because everyone got out of my way. Sigh... and usually I'm so peaceful and friendly. It's only late at night when I get blood thirsty. | #29 Jan 14th 2006, 10:07pm | |

 |
ka0ri-chanLol, and what are you doing so late at night? Do you sleep? Lol. If you want to fightm why don't you take up karate or something, you're allowed to practice with others and make things look like an accident.| #30 Jan 15th 2006, 3:50am | |

ExhaustedA brief study on Li Syaoran, and his mind.Syaoran was raised without any real masculine influence in his life, with the only adult male he knew being Wei, the butler, who is much more a grandpa figure. As what seems to be a direct contradiction to this, he was raised to be a strong, stereotyped male, as his mother saw fit to eventually lead the prestigious Li clan. And as 'balance' to the absence of a father figure, he had very heavy feminine influence from three older sisters, and this combined with all the training he recieved as clan heir has no doubt permenently affected his psyche. Taking the phrase, 'when in Rome...' to it's logical conclusion, the young Li would have liked nothing more than to be like his sisters, and grow up with a feminine tilt. He would of, too, but his mother's infuence forced him to suppress this, becoming an arrogant, bossy, hot-headed boy, who does not cry, saying that doing so accompishes nothing. Meiling Li seems a foil to this inner, feminine, Syaoran, being quite masculine and overbearing. It is hypothesised that long term seperation from Sakura, whose femininity and relationship to Syaoran further inforce his internal beliefs about a man's role in a proper relationship, along with removal of his mother's influence, combined with presistence on Meiling's side could help him eliminate his overly masculine barrier, but therapy is reccomended regardless. Syaoran's hidden side does show itself rarely, it's biggest occurance being his temporary crush on Tsukishiro Yukito. Any further analysis threatens to cross the line into conjecture. | #34 Jan 21st 2006, 5:54pm | |

Shattered BlossomsWow! That was long... and that was still brief? I slightly agree to the things that you typed.. xcept for Syaoran's sisters.. *there I used his japanese name* I thought they were four.. Xiefa *or Shiefa*, Feimei, Fuutie and Fanren?? Not actually sure..| #35 Jan 23rd 2006, 4:39am | |

ChisisSyaoran, raised by female members, turns out to be a stupid, hotheaded teenaged guy. Sakura, raised by male family members, is one of the girlest characters ever. Clamp has a sense of irony. Who knew?| #38 Jan 25th 2006, 4:50pm | |
|
 |
Miss TakinMaybe Syaoran felt that he had to replace the hole that was left in his family when whatever happened to his dad happened. And maybe Sakura acts like a girl because of how overprotective her brother was and is.I don't know...maybe. | #39 Jan 25th 2006, 5:33pm . Edited Jan 25th 2006, 5:34pm | |
