CLAMPified Schneizel
Hey so I have nothing to do until my pizza comes and I don’t feel like writing something that might require brainpower.
Blue Sponsor Overlay: This is convincing me to buy the fucking DVD so I can obtain a clear picture of CLAMP!Schneizel without having to spend over 9000 hours in Photoshop. Well played, SunRise. Well fucking played.
Black Wings: With the exception of C.C., the wings in this ending are like, stone structures in the background. In the case of Schneizel, he appears to have a single black, stone wing out of his back. Since like, Lelouch, Shirley, Suzaku, C.C. and Nunnally have white wings, this clearly means that Schneizel is a jackass. However, he specifically only appears to have one black wing, thus maybe he is only half-jackass?! Y/N? There’s a broken stone wing off to the left, sitting among the ruined buildings.
Gold Wings: Jesus I don’t know man this one is hard a lot of people in the ending have golden wings on their clothes! FUCK!
Ruined Buildings: Schneizel is not only a jackass but a destructive one. This building has clearly been destroyed by his magic doomsday device that we all know he has somewhere up his sleeve. However, said doomsday device has also done away with half of his stone wings. The one on the left has fallen onto the ground and is positioned in such a way that its sticking out of the ground. This means Schneizel feels bad about being a jackass. Maybe.
White Feather: Lelouch is later seen being surrounded by white feathers like the one Schneizel is holding. This symbolizes a connection between the two, like as if Schneizel is “holding” a piece of him. Drawing connections to the story, Schneizel’s knowledge of Marianne that Lelouch is trying to discover is represented by this white feather!
Chains: Lelouch and Suzaku are later seen with gold chains as well. Their chains are hooked to wall, but Schneizel’s just runs off screen and its not shown what the chain is bound to. Since chains are always used to represent bullshit like FATE, perhaps it is that Lelouch and Suzaku’s fates are decided/visible, but Schneizel’s is not?!
Color Tone: The sky color and the ruins have a lot of red tone. Red is also the color of blood. Schneizel must have blood-dyed skies and buildings behind him because, again, he is a fucking jackass.
Birds: Black crows are seen flying around in the background. Crows are used to represent death. The crow sitting on his broken, discarded wing perhaps represents the uh “death” of that wing. Okay. The other crows are flying off because they don’t like the crow sitting on the wing. This crow sitting on his discarded wing is quite interesting because of all of the birds in the ending, only two aren’t just flying off. One is sitting on Schneizel’s busted wing, and the other is perched on Cecile’s hand. The presence of birds with Schneizel also flags him to live for the rest of the series. See, Shirley had no birds around her and she’s dead. This also death flags Suzaku, ’cause Suzaku is never seen by any birds.
FUCK YEAH CLAMP

I like your misinterpretations and fangirling. They help me be not emo for a few seconds.

“…perhaps it is that Lelouch and Suzaku’s fates are decided/visible, but Schneizel’s is not?!”
Or like, Schneizel broke free from his fate, so his chain can’t dictate what will happen in his future. He’s just that good.

Or maybe Schneizel is actually not THAT bad but is being manipulated to his (hopefully) demise?

You would have been a world-class Kremlinologist, but fate had your born too late to take up your true calling!
