Of Yūko's customers, which ones you find most memorable?

Most memorable customers, you say?

I hope you don't mind me using this as an excuse to make an arbitrary list by way of answer. (Arbitrary lists, my beloved...)

Yuuko's Customers In Order Of How Well I Remember Them

(Though I will exclude all the bigger characters for fairness. So, Syaoran, Watanuki, Lava Lamp, Fai, Kurogane, Doumeki, Himawari, Seishirou, Ashura, Tomoyo, etc, etc. Regular xxxHolic customers only!)

10. Birdcage Customer

What was this about? Was he even a customer? We just don't know!

But the thing most memorable about this whole situation is the most pressing question: WHY DO YOU HAVE EVIL WOLVERINE'S SYMBOL ALL OVER YOUR HOME? It's even on his front sign!

WHO ARE YOU?????

9. The Liar

Mostly at the bottom because I can't resist the irony. She's the first big customer we see - but what do we really know about her? Absolutely nothing, because she lied every step of the way!

What can we really remember about someone who never actually told us anything about herself?

Though I guess you could say her ending causes quite an impact.

8. Monkey's Paw Customer

Did I forget this had happened? Perhaps!

She's one of those cases where the cause and effect are so clear that the rest of the cast might as well not even be there - and I think most of her story IS told through scenes entirely from her perspective.

I think the most memorable thing about her is the Sheer Audacity of hunting down a monkey's paw and being convinced that, actually, she already knows what it does so it can't possibly go wrong. Love that for her. Would kill for this confidence.

(Not literally - but she kind of did that also)

7. Ame Warashi

Her impeccable style. Her winning charm. She's an icon.

I had just completely forgotten that she was also a customer at one point.

She makes up for it for being absolutely great in every scene she was in, but what are you going to do in a list based purely on how well I remember the customer part? Woops! My bad!

6. Karasu Tengu

They get huge points for this being a Central Event in the narrative, but also I completely forgot they were in this as customers. The entire plot scenario? Incredible! Character defining! Et cetera!

The actual Karasu Tengu themselves? Woops! I forgot they were there. My fault though!

5. The Computer Addict

I love this one. She's so ahead of the curve that she was addicted to the internet back when you had to be on the pc to use it. Honestly, relatable. I also went through a phase like this as a young teen, so the struggle was real.

Little did we all know that in the present day the accessibility of the internet would be so rampant that she literally wouldn't even need that pc to indulge her habits anymore. Oops!

But that aside Yuuko is peak during this arc and I love everything about it. Especially the fact that Yuuko just hangs out on message boards in her free time? Wonderful information. I can do so much with this.

4. Oops! All Ghosts

Another incredible storyline. The twists are preserved by some sneaky panels from Watanuki's perspective and Yuuko's morally grey approach to the whole situation is wonderful. What if you wanted to get rid of the ghost in your home, only to find out that YOU were the ghost all along? It has the DISTRESS. It has the CONFLICT. It has the TRAGEDY. 10/10

3. Haunted Photo

Another customer with Peak Audacity. Trying to wish away the consequences of your own actions? Committing something awful but being unable to actually look at the proof yourself? The ultimate wish being an anxiety inducing curse that is sure to fail? Love it.

It's also one of those juicy situations where the morality of the situation basically drives itself. The customer causes her own problems and can't actually be saved - and doesn't deserve it either.

And honestly I think CLAMP should get a lot of credit for having the haunting effects of a photograph slowly turning around in a purely static medium. They really pulled that off.

I still love the evil smile in the photograph the last time we see it. PURE memorable.

2. The Twin

WE LOVE HER? WE LOVE HER.

Being consistently cut off and run down and overwritten and slowly clawing your way out of the situation through the sheer desire to be your own person?

And then the answer is a haircut?

It's another glimpse into the side of Yuuko that really does try cut people a good bargain. The wish could have been taken in any number of ways, but Yuuko went for the easiest and most affordable way that would genuinely help the customer actually fix her life on her own. She didn't specifically need supernatural help for this, but it was the route that presented itself, and it was the one that got her the help she needed when she needed it. Very hitsuzen, very relatable, very identifiable storyline that sticks with you.

Just like the final entry!

1. Kohane

Listen do I even need to explain this one.

Kohane is like THE storyline. It's THE example of what it's all about. It's not entirely supernatural in nature but completely heart wrenching. It has Watanuki playing a central role in fixing the problem, setting up for his future (or at least, what I assume it will be). It ties xxxHolic to Tsubasa and hints at a secret tool that will help with someone later.

And it has Kohane! You can't go wrong.

Sheith AU where Shiro & Keith are 2 protagonists from 2 different genres.

Shiro is your typical action-fantasy Shōnen protagonist who's The Chosen One among his friends and/or family - his destiny is to defeat The Big Bad who wants to dominate the world & save the universe from them.

Keith is your average slice-of-life protagonist who just wants to survive his job & make it through his day while dealing with some unpleasant co-workers & a LOT of rude, entitled customers.

Somehow, by a twist of fate, one ends up in the other's story & the 2 meet. They form a close bond unlike anyone has ever seen before. But Shiro soon discovers he isn't the only one who has his eyes (and heart) set on Keith...

!!!!! THIS IS SUCH A GOOD CONCEPT!!!

You always have great AU ideas sdfksdhfkas!

I love this so much! I'm not sure if I want Keith in Shiro's world, or Shiro in Keith's world. It's a tough decision!

Maybe Keith could end up in Shiro's world? He could get isekai'd in 😂. As for the other person that has eyes for Keith... it could be an antagonist! Maybe Lotor...? 👀

So-Fi Good Wishes, 11-16-2023 Mixed Media on watercolor paper, 11" x 14"

For this illustrations I used a Kura Toga mechanical pencil and a Prismacolor Artgum eraser for the sketch. Watercolor paints were then added from the Marie's watercolor pan set. The colors used were, Sap Green, Viridian Green, Medium Yellow, Purple Red & Cobalt Blue. Once the watercolors dried, I erased what sketch lines I could and then added in some Derwent colored pencils in Scarlet Lake, Magenta, Red Violet Lake, Imperial Purple, Oriental Blue, Bottle Green & Olive Green. In some areas I reduced color by erasing and blending with my fingers.

DouWata but they're 2 complete strangers stuck sitting next to each other on a 16-hour long flight ✈️

This sounds like the PERFECT premise for an AU fanfic. I would DEVOUR that.

I hate this timeline of fear, loss and hopelessness. Sometimes it seems like it has no end.

I want to share with you not only my fanarts but my personal works. I make pictures like these as a some form of a dairy to depict my feelings and emotions. They're mostly dark and depressive because bad feeling are easier to depict..
