Oh! Do you think this ties into other things? If Sakura (THIS Sakura) was going through a purifying ritual by staying in the ruins the entire time the sun is up, does that link up with the high amount of other Moon Magic users sprinkled across the storyline? Yukito and Nadeshiko are obvious since they’re in the same priesthood, but also Tomoyo and Yuuko? Emeraude only came out at night, and so did the oni in Outo, as well as the fighting in Shara. Vampires are also usually a night time thing, and we have so many of those.
If we're pretty consistently swimming in moon associations this time around is that to tie them all together under the Yin side of the Yin/Yang dynamic in the story? Are they all stacked up to counterbalance someone particularly strong under the Sun side of things? Because Clow is the only Sun user I can recall, but he's not here, which means that Evil Wolverine would be a natural candidate. And if HE's the primary person on that side of the spectrum, it would make sense that everyone else is on the other side.
Would it be thematically appropriate then that Sakura hides from the sun in the ritual to join this side of the cast? But also awfully ironic that the ruins she’s hiding in are the same ones that Evil Wolverine is making use of, and so hiding from him didn't work after all?
Or is the fact that everything is solidly Night coded all the way through supposed to add to the feeling of imbalance throughout the multiverse? We spend so much time in darkness because everything is going haywire, nothing is in balance anymore.
Either way! I also want to note that Sakura wants to go see the stars - which are her symbol in CCS (and she was specifically balancing both sides of the elements in that version of things).
Star Trek makes me soooo crazy cuz you got Picard saying things like "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose."
And Data saying things like "I would gladly risk feeling bad at times, if it also meant that I could taste my dessert."
And Bashir saying things like “You can't go through life trying to avoid getting a broken heart. If you do, it'll break from loneliness anyway."
And Odo sayings things like "It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people freedom of choice is that sometimes they make the wrong choice."
I want you all to know that my 13 year old brother keeps making sigma type iMovie edits of various ds9 characters and it makes me fucking hysterical. He doesn’t even watch DS9
