#about Sota!

[fuedalreesespieces]

sota's brave confession of love being that episode:

[worth noting here that in the dub the way richard says "WHAT-ever..." priceless.]

[also worth noting that in the dub he says "you already said that" instead of "hah! what're you saying?!" which feels more like an inuyasha response to me. then again we'll never know since this is technically anime-only, and while i tend not to like a lot of inuyasha filler, if it's in the modern day i will eat it up. every. time.]

inuyasha being stunned by the sheer amount of goods in a grocery store...gold. earlier in this episode he also seemed enamored by baked goods, and i wonder if he's ever really had anything resembling it? bread made its way to japan mid-16th century via portuguese traders, so it's likely he's never had anything like it and the smell must've been new to him - it would've been interesting if we'd seen him trying all these new foods!

i can never decide whether or not sunrise likes inukag bc they'll cut out canon scenes of them but then insert scenes like this in their filler eps...what game are ya'll playing? but flustered inuyasha is adorable so i can't complain this time.

eavesdropping...

i'm sorry WHERE is he getting these questions from i actually burst out laughing

called out by an eight year old...

i don't care whether or not this is ooc because i laughed way too hard like he really got dragged from potential sleep to deal with this LMAO

this is the cutest thing i've ever seen and it only gets better:

shortly after: sota getting kicked out of his own house after chickening out for the tenth time this episode

smol

flustered inukag my beloved...

anyway this episode is a dumb fun and i love it to an insane degree. the only part i would say is out of character (at least, more out of character than sunrise already does inuyasha) is when he literally makes this face at the thought of confessing to kagome:

coming from the guy who was pretty open about his feelings in the manga and quite literally told kagome - thinking she was hearing him - that he likes seeing her smile and feels relieved when he's by her side, i don't see him getting this flustered - but the face he makes is priceless.

#the amount of times i've rewatched this episode can't be counted tbh #i loved seeing inukag try to help sota confess with various methods #from kagome dressing him up to inuyasha “training” him #they hyped him up soo bad this ep lmao #too bad it didn't pay off since he interrupted them like five seasons later #there's another scene where inuyasha and kagome are like “why doesn't he just get over himself and confess” which in isolation is funny #but when i think about it they weren't even that dense in the manga it's literally only anime inukag w/ this problem #which is another sunrise addition that nobody asked for #so i didn't include that here bc after reading panels of inukag being in an almost pseudo relationship it's so jarring going back to this #will they wont they thing like nooo sir #anyway enough tag rambling #inuyasha #inuyasha a feudal fairy tale #inuyasha anime #inukag #kagome higurashi #sota higurashi #kagome #inuyasha x kagome

Sota: So you and your big brother have different moms, his was a demon and yours was human, and you guys' dad gave his strongest sword to you, so that's why you guys don't get along?

Inuyasha: If by "don't get along" you mean "that pompous asshole tries to kill me every chance he gets", then yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Sota: Yeesh.

Inuyasha: But I cut his arm off so I guess we're even for now.

Um I also wanted to say that this moment is so saturated with "bad bitch" vibes and I was just waiting for the BDSM-party to start here-

BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A LOT MORE FUN AND THAT TWIST KILLED ME COMPLETELY

LIKE DO YOU FEEL THE GAY AURA COMING FROM HIM, TOO, OR AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS SO FUCKING NUTS????

JUST TO STEAL THE INVENTION FOR HIMSELF #/and I also think he has a lot to talk about with Sota #and they'd probably become best friends #but that's another story that's bugging me- #Okay I need to come to my senses I had another explosion of anticipation and excitement #I have an excuse to start a new hyperfixation #and hell no one will try to stop me #I'll eat anyone #helen thinks

I kinda like but dislike that Rumiko and Sunrise (and fans) have never even mentioned that miko (priestesses) are virgins. And that their shinto ability to tend holy places comes from being unmarried virgins. In modern day I guess it is not really required but I kind of wish more people analyzed Kikyo, the dark priestess, Kaede and Kagome in that light.

Personally I think that due to the era Kagome would not be allowed to remain a miko after getting married and having a child. She would still be one of course due to her spiritual ability, but I think she would no longer be allowed to remain in that societal role.

Kagome is so spunky though that I see her rebelling against it. I think Kagome's strength in being outspoken is another great contrast between her and Kikyo. While Kikyo was confined by society and was only freed from expectation when she became an impure monster. Kagome was outspoken and loud to where she didn't have much of a societal role and yet remained 'spiritually pure.'

There is a huge theme of 'societal expectation' in Kagome, Inuyasha, and Kikyo that I think being a miko is a part of.

Personally I'm torn on Kagome loudly choosing to get married and have a child VS remaining a Miko and Kagome choosing to attempt to do both.

More thematic headcannons in the tag below..

#i think due to translation issues miroku is a monk but not a priest #inuyasha #kagome #kikyo #Here I am analyzing way too much into a series that probably didn't think that much about this all #And yet.. I feel like there is meaning between Sota saying Kagome got married and Rumiko never drawing them kissing #i think cannonly kikyo and kagome are not the same person.. but i think kikyo would view that they are.. maybe #the strides against misogyny in shinto japan is very interesting to look at because it is so different from western misogyny #i saw that post going around talking about periods in the feudal era and im like.. bro women were ostracized in a hut outside the village #i didn't comment on the post but i did think about and analyze it #on how the dirtyness of being a woman is the same as the dirty blood of a hanyo or the dirty blood of the burakumin class #personally i think inu's class is similar to half japanese (the original hanyo written in gegege kitaro was confirmed to be based off of it #and rumiko could not have taken the coined term 'hanyo' without being aware of the influence #but i also don't think rumiko was thinking that much about the relation between the two #personally if it were me though i'd theme inu on the spiritual dirtiness of his blood rather than him being a half race #((((((related but i also headcannoned inuyasha as a bastard . a literal one #((and i also headcannon that hte name 'inuyasha' was not his birth name. it was a name given to him by the villiagers he stole from-- #-- as a child/teen and he decided to reclaim the insult because he was what means 'dog monster' much more than the name his mom gave him)) #i think it's strongly implied even that Inuyasha is a bastard.. i never see anyone analyze that. #to analyze that even if inuyasha was born a human he would still be hated for existing :''''DDD #my posts that i made

THEY 😭😭😭

#they [holds them gently in my palm] #[stuffs them in my pocket] #kazuki tomono #sota yamamoto #user junrandot screams about figure skating: idf 2022 edition

[katerinu]

Do you think, when Kagome left for the final time, Sota was the same age as Kaede when she lost Kikyo? Even though Kagome's not dead, she's still gone-- there's no chance he'll ever see her again. Even when Kikyo returned, it wasn't Kikyo. Kikyo and Kaede were never truly reunited, it was all just an illusion.

Do you think as the years pass, Sota starts losing vision specifically in his right eye?

#sorry sorry thinking about Sota being the reincarnation of Kaede like

I feel like posting more Wii sports but instead have my favorite CPU’s from the game being totally normal siblings ( a Headcanon of mine ✨ )

#wii sports #wii sports ai #wii sports sota #Wii sports Alex #the last image is basically making me wheeze #y’all are definitely expecting more things from me about wii sports #specifically with these three and many other CPU’s

continued from here! @ech03s

being here with sota is already a struggle, feelings rushing back as she forces herself to meet his eye. audrey wishes she'd had the courage to talk to him before needing a favor from him, but after what she's about to ask him, she doubts he would believe anything about her missing him. "right, so... when we broke up, my parents never actually got that memo. they think we're still together. they actually think we live together." she smiles, but it doesn't quite reach her eyes, so she just sighs, resigned. "i need you to go to greece with me. next week."

#✦ ・ muse: audrey. #ech03s #audrey and i will never complain about sota

ok ichinose sins theory time

spoilers for up to chapter 36

first off i think that we're still in tsubasa's dream i don't think he's actually woken up yet

everything thats happening feels like his concious wishes and his uncouncious wishes are coming true

i think sota is dead, i think he died in the accident that led to tsubasa's coma, and tsubasa's concious wish is that sota were alive, happy, with a family that truly cares about him, but subconiously, i dont think thats what he really wants, kenta is not a greedy, cruel child, tsubasa just desperately wants him to be because he doesnt want sota to be happy without him. hes convinced himself that sota is qlive with a family and now hes trying to convince himself that theyre bad people because thats what he wants to be the truth

'my big brother isnt dead, hes still alive and is happy with a new family, but he would be happier with me because his new family is bad'

tsubasa conciously wants his family to be happy and move on from what happened, but he unconciously wants purpose and reason. if his family heals without him, was he even needed? why did they get to spend all that time growing closer and healing if he doesnt get to move on. he also unconciously wants people to hate him as much as he thinks they do. we already know that the bullying in the loop was extremely exaterated from how it really was, and his room is an amplification of what he thought the people around him thought of him, as are all of the other loop rooms. he wanted a functioning family that he got through his parents, but he also wanted his family to have never moved on and fallen deeper into despair, like shiori

'my family is happy, but they're happier when im here, and no problems can be truly solved until i solve them. but my despair is not misplaced and i am not sinking deeper into despair on my own'

#i wasnt sure if this was all still in tsubasa's dream until i read some of the authors stuff and realized that 1: he likes to write about -- #-- grief and confronting your past and ugly parts of yourself and 2: that he is a much more elegant and organic writer who introduces things #-- much less coincidentally in his other work than any of the stuff that happens in tsubasa's pov chapters #like its way too much of a coincieence that the news just happened to show sota at just the moment tsubasa went into his room and that the-- #-- tvs just happened to be on #the ichinose family's deadly sins #ichinose ke no taizai #tsubasa ichinose #sota ichinose #shiori ichinose

[imeverycliche]

I have this insanely strong urge to write something (kinda self indulgent) with Suzume and Sota where they have a conversation about depression and the self sacrificing tendencies they both have. It's nagging at me I NEED the hurt/comfort.

Sōta: *bursts into Kagome's bedroom*

InuYasha: GOD, you're like a pop-up book from hell

#yes it's a Gilmore Girls quote and no I couldn't stop thinking about InuYasha saying it to Sota
