#i might have started the sequel to inuyasha

[clueless-writer]

Big things are happening! To all those that read and followed my story What Happens After This? The sequel is finally happening.

I mean it’s been a long time coming. I have little index cards that have had what I want in the chapters and such. I made those up a while ago.

The first story left such high expectations on my end. I don’t want to let anyone down. But I’m doing it. I’m putting my thought out there finally.

So. Be on the look out. It will be on ao3 and Wattpad.

✨Hello, 2024!✨

I'm excited to share with you a few projects I'm hoping to start posting this next year, while also branching out on some new things, such as new pairings, a different POV, and even an attempt at an original novel by myself. Cheers to the next year!

⌘Sweeter Than Fiction

(InuKag, modern au, strangers to lovers, librarian/hockey player au, eventual smut, fluff)

Summary: Kagome Higurashi is a loner, something that has never bothered her. She has her close friend, she has her favorite books she devours every chance she gets, a family who loves and supports her, and she is in her final year of college, with a dream to become a writer. Kagome’s content, but in reality, she wishes for adventures and excitement, much like the characters in her books. In steps the captain of her college’s hockey team, a rude, unruly, and cocky hanyou named Inuyasha Taisho, and suddenly, her whole world is turned upside down.

Keep an eye out for some fabulous art by @clearwillow with this one.

⌘How To Train Your Human

(InuKag, space/other world au, strangers to lovers, eventual smut, chaos, fluff, funny)

Summary: In their 250th year, every youkai receives their human familiar after they complete all the necessary tests and read the handbook on how to train their human. Even Inuyasha will, despite being the first half demon to do so. He expected a kind, docile human as described in said handbook, similar to how his mother was when she met his father. So what does he do when Kagome Higurashi, his human, is the exact opposite?

Keep an eye out for some fantastic art with this one by @heavenin--hell

⌘Terms and Conditions

(InuKag, modern au, arranged marriage, enemies to lovers, eventual smut, angst, fluff)

Summary: After the disastrous day I had, there were two things I was certain of. One, Inuyasha Taisho, the country’s most eligible bachelor, was going to be my fiancé, and eventual husband. Two, we might kill each other before we ever make it to the altar.

Also planning some fabulous art with @brain-rot-hour for this one as well.

⌘Gifts for amazing people in this fandom.

I've been working with a select few others in creating gifts for the amazing readers, writers, artist, creators of this fandom, so be on the look out for some one-shots and drabbles of our favorite half demona and modern miko, along with new pairings that I'm dipping my toes into.

⌘Becoming Theirs (An Original Novel)

(new novel, modern, strangers, stalker, dark, humor, fluff, smut, healing my own inner trauma with this one)

Summary: Charlotte's life has been turned upside down with meeting Jackson and Elliot, only for her entire world to be shifted again when a past danger reveals itself.

⌘ Maybe/Maybe Not's:

(depends on all the time I have)

Epilogue Chapter to 12 Days of Smutmas: InuKag Edition

Sequel to A Deal With A Demon

Bird In A Cage (InuKag, strangers to lovers, dark and twisty, feudal era and modern au, fluff, first time, teaching, smut.) Summary: Kagome finds herself escaping a fate bestowed upon and stumbles upon a whole new world, where not all are who they seem to be.

Currently celebrating hitting the 400 mark in followers. If you would like to be added to the tag list or removed, please let me know, so I can update it. Also, if there's anything you're excited for, feel free to let me know! I will happily let you know when a new chapter is coming. I'm finally at a point in my life where I have time and energy to create new things and push my creativity. And I'm so beyond excited to share it all with you. Happy New Year! ✨

[inukag]

Sooo I went to Japan for 2 weeks! It was amazing! Extremely hot but I still enjoyed everything and want to go back ASAP 😭

I wanted to share the Inuyasha merch I’ve been able to find! Which is not a lot, lol. Urusei Yatsura's Lum was EVERYWHERE (especially thanks to the recent reboot) and I also saw Ranma 1/2 stuff quite a bit, but Inuyasha was nowhere to be found except in Nakano Broadway...

Starting from top left: A doujinshi I found at a Mandarake, a CD with some of the opening/endings and a pack of playing cards with art from the second movie. Below that I have a Inuyasha acrylic (found that one in a Animate at Ikebukuro), a small shippo figure and volume 4 of Yashahime (with Momo on the cover 🥰). Then below that I got 2 volumes of the wide ban edition of the manga (1 and 30 so the first and last volumes) and the Shonen Sunday S magazine with the latest Yashahime manga chapter. Above that there's Hisui from a Yashahime gachapon and above the beautiful miko Kagome figurine ♥

She's supposed to sit on a bottle so I cut the top of a plastic bottle, added some wrapping paper and a scrunchy to make some kind of base for her to sit on! I've always wanted that figurine but it's super expensive online so I'm glad I found her at a decent price. The world needs more miko Kagome merch 🙏

This is the back of the inukag doujinshi I bought, I haven't been able to find that artist online 🤔 If anyone know where I can find them, let me know!

Funny thing, the only time I saw the Yashahime gachapon was at Tokyo tower. I tried it really hoping I would get either Moroha, Hisui or Kohaku and not the others so I'm very glad I got Hisui! 3 out of 8 is not good odds lmao.

I KNOW there's some actual Inuyasha gachapon out there but I never saw any! Even that Yashahime one was mostly empty 😭

I also visited Niigata, the home city of Rumiko Takahashi. In the Manga and Anime museum there I bought this special fan that was released for the 35th anniversary of Takahashi's career. There was also the same for Maison Ikkoku and Ranma 1/2. I thought it was a really cool find!

Anyway, Japan let me down a bit in terms of Inuyasha merch but everything else was great (except the weather, seriously don't go in Japan in the summer it's too hot). I definitely want to go back in the spring and see the cherry blossom. I'd also like to visit the south more, like Osaka and Hiroshima.

Yashahime might be a disaster but it's actually thanks to that series that I met the amazing girls I went on this trip with, and for that I am so thankful. We went through hell following that series every week but we ended up with forging really strong bonds and traveling with them felt like being with family!

The real Inuyasha sequel was truly the friends we made along the way 😌🌈✨

The Same Sky and Moon and Stars

Happy Inukag Week!

I didn't realize it was InuKag week until now 😅

Not sure if this fits exactly with the prompts as it's more focused on Kagome's friends and family dealing with her returning to the past to be with Inuyasha, but I think it goes well with Day 1: Love Languages.

If it doesn't fit the prompts too well, please forgive me and ignore this 🙈 (Too nervous about tagging haha, what if it doesn't match the prompts well?)

I always wondered what Kagome's friends and family thought of her vanishing into the well, and how they dealt with her absence after years and years. This is my interpretation of how that might have been. I haven't seen more than a few clips of the sequel series yet and I am not too familiar with the storyline, but I saw a clip of Moroha hugging grandpa and maxing out Sota's credit card and I thought that was so cute. Please tell me what you think! :)

Summary:

"His family had gotten on well enough, knowing that his sweet, beautiful granddaughter was safe and happy in her new home, but even so, he could detect longing and anguish for her phantom presence. He knew better, though. She hadn't gone anywhere. She was right there with him, under the same blue sky."

Kagome, and the world she left behind. Post-series.

FFN / AO3

Be sure to come to Wac's at noon! Eri had told Kagome, beaming brilliantly. Then we can go to the arcade, and then we can watch a movie.

Finally.

After months and months of cram school and late nights studying, entrance exam torture and nervous breakdowns.

Finally.

They'd graduated.

Yuka would move all the way down south to Kyushu for college in a few months, and Ayumi would go straight north, north, north, right into the depths of the snowiest mountains. Eri would remain in Tokyo.

Kagome still hadn't said what she was planning to do after high school, but as her grades had somehow drastically improved three years ago soon after starting high school, Eri was certain that Kagome, too, had gotten into a prestigious institution.

She hadn't said where that was, but Eri was sure that she would spill the beans after a couple of burgers and milkshakes.

Truthfully, she was hoping that at least Kagome would stay in Tokyo with her. It would be lonely with Ayumi all the way in Aomori, and Yuka in Fukuoka. Notwithstanding her strange illnesses and absences back in the ninth grade, Kagome had been dependably the next desk over in class, sharing notes and lunches and smiles for years and years and years. Eri didn't want her to go too soon.

Noon became 12:15, and 12:15 became 12:25.

Eri ordered a heaping of fries, and Ayumi an extra-large milkshake.

Yuka had taken the liberty of ordering for Kagome the extra extra extra large burger that she liked, and tapped her foot impatiently. By 12:45, she had crinkled her brow in a blend of irritation and concern.

"You don't think she suddenly got sick again, do you?" Ayumi asked. "Hang on, I'll call her house."

She pulled out her brand-new Nokia flip that Ayumi's parents had gotten her as a graduation gift. (They would all color-coordinate their phones soon. Ayumi had insisted.)

"Yes, ojii-san, this is Ayumi. I'm calling to ask about...oh, really? He's back so suddenly? She's gone to meet him?...Well, tell her to come to Wac's soon, please, her burger is getting soggy."

She hung up, her face clearing, her brow smoothing, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"It's her delinquent boyfriend again! He's back from that three-year trip and he's gone to meet Kagome!"

Their table erupted in squeals and applause.

"So Kagome isn't in a long-distance relationship anymore!"

"Ooooh, this is way more interesting than college plans!"

"Think he's still not as good a match as Hojo-kun?"

"You think she's gonna bring him here? We need to check him out!"

"She better!"

One o'clock came and went.

Kagome still didn't come.

They shrugged their shoulders, not all that concerned. She and her boyfriend were all lovey-dovey. She was constantly getting piggyback rides from him and all. They had probably lost track of time after three years in a long-distance relationship.

Eri wrapped up the burger and dropped it off at the Higurashi house with a friendly, teasing note that Kagome would never read.

***

Five years had passed since high school graduation, and honestly, Ayumi was still a bit miffed at Kagome.

You would think that Kagome's best friends would be invited to her wedding. You would think that they wouldn't suddenly elope out of nowhere right after the last day of high school. Really, what were they thinking?

She'd been meaning to call for years now, hoping to give Kagome a piece of her mind. Kagome's mother had given her a phone number, but whenever Ayumi rang, there would only ever be a beep and a polite, robotic voice, telling her that the number was invalid and to please dial again.

***

"Mama, who's that?" her daughter asked one evening, pointing to a gaggle of smiling schoolgirls in Yuka's old, yellowing photo album.

"Hmm? Those are Eri-san and Ayumi-san. They settled down in Tokyo last year. You met them at that party, dear."

"No, mama, I mean this person."

Yuka rubbed her aging eyes and blinked.

Ah.

It had been decades, but something in her heart lurched even so.

"Well, that's Kagome-san. She was a good friend of mine in high school. Don't know what she's up to now. I haven't been in touch with her for years."

Every once in a while, she would call the Higurashi shrine and ask about Kagome, if she was busy, and if Eri and Ayumi were in town, if she might want to stop by at Wac's and take a selfie and a burger for nostalgia's sake.

Kagome never was home. Her mother would always sigh softly and say that Kagome was "abroad." Whichever country she was in now, the Higurashi family definitely didn't seem keen on telling her.

It was life, she supposed. You moved on.

Still, a part of her would close her eyes and drift back to sleepy, golden afternoons and biking back home, happy smiles, and rapid-fire discussions of Kagome's strange, delinquent boyfriend.

***

There used to be a girl he liked, back in high school. Higurashi, wasn't it?

She was quite beautiful, and though he had been happily married for thirty years now, her bright, smiling face crossed Hojo's mind sometimes.

She had fallen quite sick in the ninth grade. All sorts of strange illnesses. Economy class syndrome and swine flu and chicken pox and even a bite from a potentially rabid dog.

Yet through those bizarre and alarming-sounding ailments, Higurashi's face always seemed to glow. She certainly didn't have the look of a sick person. Hojo hoped that meant all the get-well cards and medicines he gave her had worked.

He'd gone to an all-boys school after that and didn't get to see her as much, but every few weeks, he would run into her on the street and she would always greet him with a nod and a smile. They'd even gone to the movies once or twice, but soon enough, Hojo could tell she never saw him as anything other than a classmate. He was dejected for a while, but soon enough recovered his good cheer, and was happy that she still enjoyed his friendship.

She'd vanished after that.

Just one day, out of the blue, he stopped seeing her around on the street. He supposed she had moved away for college and a job.

Was she doing all right now? Hojo hoped that, approaching late middle age as their generation was, that Higurashi was taking care of her fragile health.

He touched the missing button of his shirt and smiled.

It was true, he had been happily married for years and whatever romantic feelings he had for her had long since faded into the breeze. But he hoped that Higurashi would always have a bright, smiling face, wherever she was, enjoying good health long into old age.

She did say that they could be friends forever, and surely it wasn't wrong to wish his friend well.

***

Her scent faded from the house slowly and steadily.

First downstairs, then upstairs, from the kitchen and living room and eventually from the shrine grounds. Her room stopped smelling like her long, long ago.

She used to give him good ear scratches and let him lie on her chest. She filled his food bowl much more copiously than did her brother, and she was always ready with treats from the supermarket for him.

The memory of her face was fading at the edges. Buyo was getting on in years.

He'd never forget her scent, though. Fading though it was, it lingered at the well and at the foot of the huge, old tree.

Lately he would venture down there, down that well, hoping to catch a whiff of her distinctive scent. He'd always get stuck, and her brother would pull him out.

***

It didn't hurt when she wasn't at his high school graduation. It didn't even hurt when she wasn't at his wedding. Once she went into that well, she couldn't come back out.

He knew that. And he knew that nee-chan was happy over there with her new family and friends. He couldn't begrudge her happiness. It wasn't like she was walking home after school one day and vanished without a trace, in potential danger. He knew exactly where she was, on the other side of the well.

Sota knew that she loved him all the same, whether she was here in the present or in the Sengoku Jidai with his new brother-in-law.

But –

He turned to his left and caught a wrinkle on his mother's forehead, and he turned to the right and caught the slow shuffle of his grandfather's feet –

And suddenly his eyes blurred with crystal tears.

New family.

New friends.

They were all getting older and older, and she was already gone, new and ancient all at once, somewhere in the distant past, before any of them were even born.

***

The day she became a mother was the happiest day in her life.

The day she learned she was a grandmother was yet happier.

Her tears wet the earth and soaked into the roots of the Goshinboku, all the way to her daughter.

Thank you, Kagome.

***

Some of Kagome's friends were sad. Others were mad. His family had gotten on well enough, knowing that his sweet, beautiful granddaughter was safe and happy in her new home, but even so, he could detect longing and anguish for her phantom presence at the kitchen table, at the hospital, at the shrine entrance greeting visitors.

He knew better, though.

He rested his aching back against the tree and breathed deeply, sensing her peculiar power.

He wasn't worried. He didn't miss her. Why would he? She hadn't gone anywhere.

She was right there with him, under the same blue sky.

***

Kagome stilled, her palm against the tree.

A light night wind made the branches sway and rustle under the starry sky.

She could feel it.

Feel them.

Old family and new, all at once.

The tree always did have a special power.

She wrapped an arm around her sleeping husband and daughter and smiled.

[zhanenova]

Been leaving some hints of the anime marathon I’ve been up to. So I’ve left those hanging. This might be my biggest anime batch yet since the previous one! The question is which one should I throw or talk about first?! Right! I should reveal those hints! Starting by!

There’s this hint from one of my previous post:

This is the scene I used to write my fan-fiction. But importantly, I’ll reveal this anime in a second!

At first when I saw the poster ad of this anime, got me thinking that this is like another genre friends hang out and romance. It is though, that’s not all. I dived in few of the first ep’s. Yo.. That was a bit dark right there in unusual way. It later gets good when you dive the whole series. If you’re looking for anime containing cities scenery. This is one of it.

If you’re into shows like Inuyasha and Demon Slayer. Definitely check this out. This is also great as well and dark like demon slayer. I think they could relate. Something got me disapproving, it’s just me and all. When a protagonist fought his rival. The protagonist slashed his rival out of something which is unnecessity. Stuff was getting entertaining, when that occur, I was like- Yo, what just happen? What is this? I was almost starting to get unentertained because of that. It took place somewhere in the middle of the series. Preventing spoilers and all.  I absoultey give this series a chance, after finish viewing the series. Then you can share the opinion if it is awesome or what not. I think this is awesome, especially for the Demon Slayer/Inuyasha fans.

Kinda talked about this from my previous anime batch. Yet the adventure continue kicking. This season got a bit serious and dark. Overall, it’s fun, hecka hype, energetic, awesome impression and middle ages world as usual. This is one of the best yet! Can’t wait for the next one! This couldn’t get awesome then this! I highly recommend this!!! WOOT!

Yet another one of the anime I sorta talked about from one of my last post. This is the sequel to the series, so don’t watch as your first Given franchise. I am actually blown away of this and yes this is relevant to the series as well. Since I am a rock fan, this is one of the story ever written in rock history. I see this is also relate or similarities to C&T or maybe- I’ll talk about that next, in about 0.1 second.

Maybe Lookism. Yes, that my friend is what the title called. Swim to the first couple ep’s got me seeing something happened that went a bit hard. At first, I thought it’s about yet another school drama and all. It’s one of it but there something else, not to spoil or anything. It actually gets really good a bit close to the end of the series. Let me tell you a hint. *whisper* It goes something like, C & T..... This series gave me an absolute great blessed. That is all I’m going to say. Add this to your anime list. You may thank me later or something.

Now this felt like a mix of Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Wars. Mostly GotG. It felt like I’ve found the actual anime of those. Hahahahar. I don’t have much to say as of now. It is another worthy to check out. Personally, it sort of reminds me of those two franchise I’ve mentioned. Cool enough reason to view this out.

Now, this anime... This anime.. This anime. This anime! This anime again! The time I’ve dived in from the first ep’s to the almost the end of the 1st season, Takagi sort of actually broke my nerve and a disturbance of the force. Or maybe I'm not used to this series. Speaking of almost at the end of the 1st season, Takagi has gotten a bit serious and dark. It is worthy for me to say the least. Season 2 and 3, it is I enjoyed.. and pretty alright to say the least. A hint they might get into relationship. Uoooo!!.. If you’re into someone making pranks and jokes. Takagi is your girl. Nishikata can be your guy or boy as well. A guy who got teased a lot from her.

Now, this show is absolute dope, like literally. If there’s any gamers out there like myself. This is going to be your new show. It also shared a gaming console history such as the earliest from Arcade, TubroGrafx, Game Boy, etc. These two guys. WOW. These two, the guy and the girl, they’re all about competition. They mostly played fighting games like Street Fighters. SF is not what they are about! They do play a tons of genre like shooters (Time Crisis for instance), Beat-em-up (like Final Fight) and plenty of more. Another high recommended Anime to watch. Hearing Johnny Yong Bosch and gaming show at the same time! What could get awesome then that! LET the game begin! Cha-Ching! Let it Rip!!!

Known this franchise for a while. I think I only viewed the 1st ep of the anime but it’s a blur to me. It’s time for time travels like a time machine! The sequel is enjoyable and slaps so good. If anyone don’t know much about Doraman, you’re still good. Watch these right off there bats. I have watched Yo-Kai however! They’re similar. 

I got one word for y’all. Hearing Billy Kametz and Cherami Leigh in the opening gave a.. Disney music feels. If y’all know who they are. It’s probably the reason why I checked this series out. Actually I do have something to talk about of all this. Watching this series further got me realizing that they’re in the actual person body. I didn’t actually know at the time when I swam in the first several ep’s. I guess Osmosis Jones or Ozzy & Drix much?

Vinland Saga. My word. I’ve heard few of the homies were talking about this. My intention wasn’t on my list to check out. In the very last second, I did. Due to there were two different English Dub cast. One of the English Dub cast I’ve knew and grew up. So I dived in. Wow. Wow to this. A dark anime and middle ages (Like Lord of the Rings). This goes hardcore. The show got me hooked. Beware viewers, your in for the scary ride.

You take Inuyasha, you take Code Geass, and then- There’s another Anime I was thinking about a while back. I guess you take Gundam. You’ll put them all together, you’ll get Kuromukuro. If you’re looking for something like CG (Well sort of) then this is for you. A coincidence was occurred, one of the episode of this character who voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch. He was playing an arcade. Got me thinking, Hi Score Girl! WHOA!! If you’re wondering of the main protagonist voice acting, that’s Bryce Pappenbrook right there. 

Seeing this reminds me of The Chronicle of Narnia. The part where the water waves caught them and went to different alternative dimension. That part was intriguing. They’re about being in the middle out of nowhere on sea. Here’s your Anime film of the day.

This definitely reminds me of Wally for sure. Wally goes Anime. Or something.

Now the service just opened up for kids, if they wanted to go all Apollo 13. They actually did. To sum things up, this is Apollo 13 the anime.

Listing some action and shooting games like Call of Duty, maybe Battlefield, and Sci-Fi. Basically, a little all of everything of the action/shooter video games are in there.

Don’t have much comment on this one. It’s a exquisite anime to check out and some beautiful OST. Oh boy, I do want some ramen. Binge on this, especially if you have ramen for dinner. 

This show contain some beautiful piano OST. What if...? (Yep, Marvel y’all) you were a 1 years old and have a mind of the adult? This is the show. 5 Years old, close though! Love it. Recommend it.

You know what this anime reminds me off? It’s that one film, one of the star from Scott Pilgrim film who happened to play his own main role of that one movie. I was about leave the title hanging. It’s been a while I’ve seen “13 Sins”. There it is, 13 Sins the anime series. Man, what a series!

This is a cgi anime mix if you’re similar with Ajin: Demi-Human (It’s my first actual anime cgi mix). The show slightly reminds me about something, that is Devilman Crybaby. Except it’s all about insects.

Another Genre of School and Romance, and something else as well. Like when someone exist and another don’t have memory of certain someone, like all the way to the percent max. I think the correct statement is zero percent? I don’t know, but yes. I’m not sure if there’s any anime has similarities like this. Maybe Clannad perhaps? I don’t think that even close but I’m throw it in anyway. 

Here I thought this might be like Hi Score Girl. I am dead wrong. However, the main female protagonist was playing a game console in the 1st ep, which made orange shape appeared that wears an witch hat. That’s where the drama begins. Diving to close of the ending series, there is usual event was occurred. I could just say what it is. A creepy ninja I guess. 

Now this is another series like Cagester or Devilman Crybaby, except it’s about vampire. Seeing something that japan was trying to be like londan which I can’t tell the difference. It is intriguing. So so of the middle ages I guess. It looks beauty though. Diving the 1st episode got me thinking about Black Cat (One of my anime backlog I should get back to).

I remembered playing the 1st game. Now I finally see the anime in film style. Now it makes me want to try out the 2nd game. Seeing the main characters traveled to the different dimension who entered the middle ages. It reminds me of my fan-fiction story I wrote a while back, I called it “Zeyanova”. or Chronicle of Narnia. It one of the influence that got me into writing stories. Mind that ramble but if you’re interested of checking my fan fiction Zeyanova, it’s currently on my link bio above.

The show is pretty decent. Seeing those two ladies singing and a instrument performing at the pad. I am thinking about relating C&T because one of them were holding a lyrics while sing. Those were a little moment.

Here I thought this is going to be something like- here I go again, that abbreviation, C&T. “You are, my fire, you are, desire.” Nothing like that. Not even close. It is close to like Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. The difference is, it goes hard. Hey Richard Epcar is in there as well! How about that!? What are these odds!?

I guess this is sort of relates to Samurai Warriors the game. This might be for you. Awesome to hear Sima Liu voice acting, one of the MCU cast going anime. Awesome as that.

I only beat one of it, Echoes of an Elusive Age. I’m thinking about trying to dive on Journey of the Cursed King by some point. If you’re aware of what’s happened around the ending. Me and I, I was stoked and excited all about it. One of the winning books.

Another middle ages anime. It does contain music in it and I’m not sure if I could relate (yes! I think you know what I’m going to say.) C&T (I’ll be revealing that in the next next). The vocals is a powerful ability could attack and heal up allies, which reminds me in some of the certain J-RPG’s. In the later ep’s of the series, you might find it surprising, like sugoi! If you watched The Bount Saga from Bleach, you might know of Yoshino Sōma and her origin. She actually relates and this certain protagonist. There’s the hint. No spoilers. 

Slightly only played the PS3 Demo. Another middle ages or skyrim. Another hardcore anime to check out or what not. Same saying like the Dragon Quest one. Now I see the game is now available on any platform on our preferences.

Here it is. Here it is. Heeere iiit is. I’ve been mentioning C&T dozen of time at another anime topics. Don’t want to spoil the big surprise. I left another hint of one of my previous post of my anime batch progress. This show is my heart. Saving the best for last. I present you.

Carole & Tuesday!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t played anime favorites and being a true fan of something for quite a long time. This is literally one of the top of the books. If you’re involved being in the music industry or being in a band before. I think this show is based on a true story, I meant about such as, how to spread the music, playing at local venue’s, leveling up, getting sign contract by a certain record labels. I guess it shows how music works out for the artist’s. Being a hard music fan myself. This is why I’m blessed from all of this. I just found out the creator who made this story, who happened to direct for Cowboy Bebop. Woah. And the studio Bones, who animated Wolf's Rain, Fullmetal Alchemist, etc, also animated this show as well. Double woah. But yeah, I think I spoken cool enough.

To end this with an awesome bang, hope the anime I’ve listed help you to find another series/movies to watch for your pleasure. All of this anime I’ve listed are my “Mother Mother Mother” to you all. Be sure to check out Carole & Tuesday.

After two years of the yashamine hell it is finally ending this week. I live for the fact that the director probably wanted yashamine to be the next boruto and have multiple seasons yet it was not a hit. It’s funny because they probably when creating the sequel anticipated for this show to get many seasons but because of the animation, character assassination, and horrible a storyline yashamine failed to be popular.

Not only was it not a hit, it was downright terrible. So awful they even stopped calling it a sequel and started saying it's a spin-off, a "what MIGHT have happened after Inuyasha" 😭

The director, Sato, got kicked off the project after S1, and Sumisawa was in the S1 guidebook pleading innocence, claiming they practically forced him to write HNY. They all had to take cover from the fallout of their own incompetence. Hope it was an eye-opener for them.

#anti sessrin #anti yashahime

[coquinespike]

From a Self-Described Neutral

Someone posted in the tag a couple weeks ago basically calling out neutrals to...idk, defend themselves? In the spirit of answering a “direct” address, I started writing this post but kept deleting because I didn’t really believe anyone wanted to hear from me and god knew I didn’t really want to get into it with anyone (hence the being neutral).

But now, I do feel compelled to at least express my personal views. It’s gotten too difficult to ignore the drama happening in the inuyasha tag despite my best efforts.

When news of the sequel first came out, I found myself most annoyed by the so-called Antis, who it seemed to me had automatically jumped all down the throats of anyone who was even speculating that Rin might be the mother and throwing around buzzwords like “grooming” and “pedo apologists.” Which. I can’t articulate how fucked up I think it is to accuse people of those things over a goddamn anime ship. I couldn’t blame sessrinners from getting defensive, those are serious allegations. I saw antis post photos of real, actual human beings who were child brides and child porn victims, often children of color, to what end?? Making an outlandish comparison to a fictional ship?! Just...what the actual fuck.

But then!! As the sequel continued to air, it seemed that a subset of Sessrin shippers got way more vocal than I’d yet to experience. I’ve seen others imply that they were always like this, or had been this rabid before when the original series was still coming out. I found myself very alarmed by their behavior, and the kinds of posts “justifying” their ship that just... turned my stomach to say the least.

What I simply Do Not Understand is why sessrin shippers have this insatiable need for their ship to become canon. When you try to use examples of sesshomaru & Rin’s interactions during the run of the show/manga as “clues” or whatever that they’d later end up together romantically...then that WOULD be grooming, what the fuck is wrong with y’all??

If you wanted them to be a couple after she was an adult, why on earth would you bring up anything to do with when she was a child? You should be doing everything you can to separate her childhood growing up in kaede’s village from whatever potential future she might have with sesshomaru. And because we only ever saw her during her childhood, y’all had like the perfect blank slate to turn her into any kind of character you want for her adulthood. She could be some super-intellectual courtesan. She could be a healer, with or without spiritual powers. She could become a badass warrior. The possibilities are literally endless, any of which could include a woman who chooses to go with sesshomaru on her own terms, instead of focusing on ways he “pursued” or god forbid “seduced” her.

I dunno man. I still consider myself neutral. As stated above, I do believe there are ways to tell the story under which the sessrin ship could be a healthy and acceptable one. But the ways sessrin shippers seem to focused on? Ugh. Nah. Creep me tf out. And the decisions that Sunrise seem to be making, where if Rin is the mother of the twins she was clearly still way too young for me to be okay with it. I Do Not Approve. And I have now officially contributed a big block of ranty text to the inuyasha tag, I’m a big fucking hypocrite lmao.

EN translation:

(pic 1) Hanyo no Yashahime. Fans unite to support the series, trending on social media.

(pic 2) Ppl have been talking about Hanyo no Yashahime, Inuyasha's sequel, during the last couple of hours, as EP 15 got released last Saturday which showed the birth of the twins and confirmed Sesshomaru and Rin as their parents. Both twins and parents got in the trending: Peru, Mexico, Japan are a few examples (among other countries). However, a part of the fandom did not see this couple in a positive way so they started a campaign aiming to "cancel" the show and the enterprise Sunrise. This is because they feel that it is imposible to accept their relationship, even though it is anime, and because they believe it promotes pedophilia.

(pic 3) When this campaign began to increase, groups of fans decided to start a campaign of their own to support Sunrise, in order to show them that not all fans are against the story and are actually very happy that their favorite couple is canon.

(pic 4) From this morning and still at this very moment, the campaign called #thankyousunrise is getting larger and larger; it is currently trending on social media and it's not stopping. Minute by minute, messages of love and support keep uploading; many accounts shared this info with their followers inviting them to show their support and that they are thankful to the staff involved in this project.

Phew... that was long xD but so worth it. There might be some language mistakes cuz I was in a rush. But you will get the main idea.

Guys, what we are doing is HUGE and every post counts. Let's never stop until they announce a second season (jk jk.... or am I? 😉)

But seriously, this means that our love for the fandom will stand against any hate. We can do this! We are already winning!

Ok this may just be me but I hate deconstructions. I feel like they are always mean spirited and try to be dark and edgy and thinks that every single person is an asshole because that’s “realistic” when no it’s not. This maybe because I like superhero stories and love it when the heroes overcome their struggles.

I can agree for the most part. Whenever I hear “okay but what if it was dArK--” I’m just okay, gonna stop you right there.

I swear, nothing bothers me more than people who want Miraculous Ladybug to literally just be Yandere Simulator(with Marinette as Ayano, Alya as Info-chan, Adrien as Taro, Chloe as Osana, Lila as Kizana, Kagami as Megami, and Luka as Budo). It just grinds my gears, especially because they're, once again, framing Marinette as a stalker, which just makes her look bad, AND pits all the girls against each other for Mr. Generic Harem Protagonist, once a-fucking-gain. Just go play the actual game, ok?

All I'm hearing is that now I have to ship Ayano and Budo and write a fic where the ghost girl uses fancy fantasy magic to merge her soul with Ayano and lets her actually have emotions, healing her from being a yandere while the ghost girl (in a way) gets to live a life she was cut short of, also allowing Ayano to be happy and go onto be friends with all the rivals.

Extremely convoluted but that’s the only way we get happy endings in this house.

I remember how, when writing Sailor Moon, Naoko Takeuchi refused to bow to older male writers wanted, say, for the girls to be stereotypical manga characters, with one being overweight, one being a stereotypical nerd, etc. But Naoko wanted each of the girls to be beautiful and feminine. While I don't like that they all share a body type, I admire how she didn't listen to grown men when writing for and about young girls. And I can't help but think about how Madoka is the antithesis of all that.

I can appreciate writers who put their foot down to stick to their values. There are limits of course, but yeah, a women writing women probably shouldn’t be listening to a man’s input. I’m sure good advice exists buuut...

Someone on TV Tropes actually said that the name Feminist Fantasy should be changed because "feminism excludes men the same way meninism excludes women" and actually had the nerve to link that to the "Not So Different" trope, as if women haven't been excluded throughout the history of almost every human society. Fortunately, someone responded to them in a way that technically amounted to "do your damn research" but I'm still facepalming so hard at TV Tropes' "what about the men" rhetoric.

I feel like I lost braincells reading this.

I feel like in fiction written by men there are only three flaws that female protagonists are allowed to have: clumsy, boy-crazy, or ashamed of their flat chests. I hate it.

Don’t forget, “having to listen to the men for how they’re supposed to feel.”

Oh, I’ve seen basically the whole series, though the one I remember most is definitely Epic Winter. It was my favorite one though Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie so I’m biased.

I also like a lot of the “twists” and just--crazy concepts they rolled with, like with Red Riding Hood’s story and how Apple White gets woken up from her slumber.

You're gonna be happy to hear this...I just started watching Cardcaptor Sakura today, and holy shit not only do I love it, but I also love how freaking META it is! I know you said you're not all that knowledgeable about Magical Girl, but this show is AWARE that it's a Magical Girl show! From Tomoyo(the main reason this show is so meta, tbh) realizing Sakura is a Magical Girl and asking if she has a transformation pose, to designing outfits for her(more on that later) to videotaping her(aka literally making a Magical Girl anime out of her Magical Girl friend), it just has fun with itself and plays with Magical Girl tropes without making a mockery of them like all those "dark" male-aimed ones do(lookin' at you, Madoka Magica and Yuki Yuna!).

And not only is it hilarious and adorable(especially with Sakura's crush on Yukito, Tomoyo's crush on Sakura, and Touya picking on Sakura, but playfully), but I love how it's riddled with girl power. While watching some of the first episodes I was looking forward to seeing Syaoran(partly because I love male Tsunderes and partly because I can't pronounce his name), and was surprised that he wasn't in the first few episodes, but more importantly I was so happy to see a show that treats its female characters with respect and shows women unironically receiving support from other women and being shown possessing power and authority.

I love Sakura and Tomoyo's friendship even if I hate the trope of "Lesbian Never Gets The Girl"(not that I think she's entitled to Sakura's affections or anything, but still.) and watching her support Sakura in her magic endeavors without being jealous or vindictive, I love that they're allowed to be independent and smart but that the show doesn't forget that they're kids, instead of making them like Manon and Chris, and I love that the show passes the Bechdel test in pretty much the first or second episode, and that pretty much every important and unimportant character we meet that's not Sakura's family members, Kero, or Yukito(plus maaaayyybe the Shadow Clow Card) are female.

Even little things, like all FOUR of Tomoyo's bodyguards in the second episode being female without there being a "reason" or the show making a big deal of it(either in a "yay girl power!" way or a "what but women can't x" way or an objectifying way) fills me with insurmountable joy. Also, I love that the show follows the Magical Girl trend of pretty much admitting that femininity is power, since frilly dresses are stated to be the most "fitting" thing for a Cardcaptor to wear, as without it, they might not be mentally up to the task, and this is an unironic truth rather than a joke(although Sakura is shown to be embarrassed, but it's much more likely that she's simply not used to that kind of gear due to not being rich as Tomoyo is.) or a gag.

I just thought I should tell you this because I know you like Cardcaptor Sakura, and with the crappy episodes that just came out of this show, I think you deserve to read an ask that's about a GENUINE girl power Magical Girl show, instead of yet more Miraculous Ladybug salt or Madoka Magica hate(not that there's anything wrong with either of those two, but it just gets grating after a while.). Overall, I'm looking forward to watching this show, since I've been looking for a Magical Girl show to watch nowadays(I've been meaning to watch Star Twinkle Precure but I can't find the third episode and all of Cardcaptor Sakura is on YouTube now, so.). So excited!

Hey, I’m glad that you’re having fun with it!

Though, just a warning, you might wanna steer clear of the Clear Card arc. It’s a sequel to the original series made waaaay after the original (think the equivalent of Yashahime for Inuyasha, though continuing with the original characters) but omg I hated it.

With the crappy Season 4 episodes that just came out I'm glad I got into Cardcaptor Sakura when I did. Who needs "Marinette needs to make a mistake every episode and learn something from it" when you can have genuine girl power and sweetness incarnate?

Your comment about white men feeling "disenfranchised" because more shows are about black people and/or women(I say and/or because the two aren't mutually exclusive.), as if there aren't a million other things they could be watching instead is so true! It reminds me of how I was talking to someone recently about the new generation of MLP, in which I stated that we didn't need a male mane pony(spoiler alert: they have one, sadly.), and he claimed that it would be beneficial since many shows aimed at boys at least try to include at least one main girl, and that it would be good for G5 of MLP to have at least one strong male lead so that boys could have a role model and know that the show isn't "girly".

Okay, so far, so good, but this I could chalk up to just unconscious internalized misogyny, especially since he didn't say it in any sort of "way". So I respectfully told him that the scale regarding representation is already not equal and that boys can look up to girls and that a show being girly is not a bad thing and all that stuff that you already know about. Then he responded claiming some stuff about how he keeps trying to pitch stories about straight white male characters and how nobody is accepting his offers and so this means that straight white men are underrepresented compared to everyone else. He even explicitly said, and I quote "White people are actually critically underrepresented in media right now. Especially boys."; I swear to the Goddess above.

At this point I was officially upset as a black girl, to hear this white(and presumably adult) man telling me that he was underrepresented in media compared to me, even saying that the media execs are practicing "quotas and tokenization"(and yes, he repeatedly used those terms for any instance of representation, even when I asked him politely to stop.) by replacing women with men or white people with pocs and are making white men look like incompetent doofuses.

He also kept saying stuff about how shows are always shoehorning people of color in where they don't belong by casting them in settings such as Shakespeare and medieval times when "realistically" there were no people of color during those time periods(which is obviously not true, it's just not what the history books show us.), and made a really insensitive comment about how black children in the USA today don't know the significance of having the first black president because the media supposedly already shows them black people in various professions(despite also claiming he couldn't speak to the "black experience" and yet here he is whitesplaining that shit.).

It got to the point where he was seriously and unironically using the word "blackwashing". When I pointed out to him that white men aren't underrepresented and that it's just his self-centered ego telling him that they are, that the word "blackwashing" isn't a thing, and that mis/underrepresentation in media DOES affect black kids negatively(even citing myself as an example) he went on to claim that I was being tone-deaf and that "blackwashing" is just as bad as whitewashing, and that making Ariel black is just as bad as making Jasmine white.

At this point I had to bang my head on the table and explain to him the difference; his ass still wouldn't get it. Eventually he started saying some really skeevy and hypocritical shite that white men say all the time when whining about how "oppressed and underrepresented" they are: that black people and/or women

(it looks like there might be an ask missing here, in which case, sorry if Tubmlr ate it!)

avor of supporting the commonly believed LIE that "women and/or minority groups don't have as much history worth learning about, so there's no point in focusing on them." He also kept using patronizing, condescending, mansplaining language such as "let me explain it to you" or "you still don't get it do you?", and when he said women had nothing to contribute to society because "oppression" he even had the nerve to tack on "welcome to the unequal society" as if I hadn't been lecturing him about just that.

Because obviously only white men did anything worthwhile or important in history. At this point, I had to block him. I couldn't take it anymore and this was on an MLP site of all places(although I'm probably just as guilty of that part, but at least I wasn't an ass!). I just can't stand white men who "want to be oppressed so bad" but still want to claim that their achievements are more important and deserve to be more prominent. Honestly, so many white men are so fragile the second they're not in the spotlight. I can't help but think that despite all the privilege afforded to their class being a white man sounds like the worst thing ever.

“he claimed that it would be beneficial since many shows aimed at boys at least try to include at least one main girl, and that it would be good for G5 of MLP to have at least one strong male lead so that boys could have a role model and know that the show isn't "girly". “

I might be looking too deep into that but I don’t like the idea of, “Well WE squeezed in a girl and therefore YOUR SHOWS--” like it’s some sort of matter of “fairness” or that boys’ shows aren’t putting in girls out of a genuine like for them but because they “need” one or it’s some sort of obligation.

Also, we need to stop this idea that boys can’t look up to female characters and vice versa for girls. You already said it but yeah.

And yeah, I hear "quotas and tokenization" and I officially tune out of whatever the person is saying, lol. White men are critically underrepresented???? Newsflash, maybe it’s just because others are being represented more??

Just the whole thing about whites being “underrepresented” boggles my mind. White people don’t have some sort of special ability or skill that other races can’t do themselves unless you count the “superpower” of white privilege.

Like, oh my god, all that “whitesplaining” and having to read the word “blackwashing” was physically painful. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I don’t know how they got hold of the technology to communicate with you from whatever time period their from, presumably the Stone Age.

Don’t even blame you for blocking them. There’s just a level of absolute... blindness? Arrogance??? That comes with the territory with them sometimes, I swear. You had every right to be upset; other races come to ask for equality and fair representation and suddenly you have these white men (not all obviously but damn) coming by and crying that they’re being oPpReSsEd. U_U

Like, honestly, my father in particular is absolutely that kind of person so I’ve heard that kind of stuff before. it’s all gross.

On a slightly unrelated note (trying to end this with some positivity), I hadn’t even heard about a fifth generation of MLP until I read this, and just wanted to let you know that I really hope you have a really good time with it! Hopefully the male character isn’t... well, you know.

I too haven't watched inuyasha but my friend told me to watch Yashahime first so I wouldn't realize how bad it is. Told me it was a "rite of courage" for me lol. She also mentioned that I might not notice weird implications in a certain ship If I don't have the full context.... But I got really bored of yashahime so I switch to watching inuyasha and I'm loving it. I'm just gonna read the yashahime summaries lol. Unfortunatley now understand about the ship though O_O

I like your friend's wittiness and sense of humor!

Although I'd argue that the best course of action would be watching Inuyasha and ignoring ʏᴀsʜᴀʜɪᴍᴇ altogether.

Even if you only watch ʏᴀsʜᴀʜɪᴍᴇ first, the weird implications are still there. Episode one literally describes ʀɪɴ as a girl who adores sᴇssʜᴏᴍᴀʀᴜ and showed her being a 11 years old when Hisui was a new born...

Next thing you know, she is giving birth to sᴇssʜᴏᴍᴀʀᴜ's children at the same time Hisui could barely walk alone, which means he would have to be 3 to 4 years old at best and that's being generous because he actually looked 2. If this wasn't enough, the second opening literally juxtaposes romantic Inuyasha and Kagome scenes with sᴇssʜᴏᴍᴀʀᴜ stroking ʀɪɴ's cheeks when she was 8 years old.

ʏᴀsʜᴀʜɪᴍᴇ recontextualizes their relationship. If you see them as a couple in the sequel first, then go back to the original material, the knowledged that later on they will be together romantically, specially when she was still so young once it started, is sickening and will taint an innocent, wholesome dynamics because the grooming implications will be all you'll be able to see.

But if you watch Inuyasha first, chances are you'll think an eventual romance between them is inconceivable and take ʏᴀsʜᴀʜɪᴍᴇ for what it is: crack fanfiction.

Their bond was so interesting and pure. The thought of people being robbed of enjoying it really, really saddens me. I'm glad you switched to Inuyasha only. And I hope ʏᴀsʜᴀʜɪᴍᴇ hasn't ruined their dynamic for you.

[generalexcuse]

Alright. I am beating a dead horse here but taking time off of this show and fandom did not work. This will be the last time I ever say something about it but it’s upsetting to me so I need to vent. And to everyone saying “You are an adult man and this is fiction, why are you so obsessed? Weirdo. Learn to differentiate between fiction and reality.” I am going to address these notions as well as other problems I am having here. But really, Inuyasha was one of my first Anime, I have many dear memories and especially Rin was one of my all time favourite characters. Seeing her being mistreated like this upsets me. Ofc it does because if you watch something in formative years it’s not just fiction like a boring sitcom you watch now. Shows and characters are important to people and to simply dismiss it like that even if they would have been equally upset if it wouldnt have become canon, is infuriating. Really this is just therapeutic for me because even after weeks it’s still so baffling to me. Also please excuse the grammar and spelling mistakes. I am not a native speaker.

So the problem is obviously Sessrin and how it’s done because while I absolutely dont agree with this pairing, it would have been fine if it wasnt like it is. 

In the original show, Rin is an 8 yo child and her entire character reflects just that. She behaves like a child and depends on others. She has also been traumatized, doesnt speak at the beginning of the show and dies twice. Both times she is saved by or because of Sesshomaru. In many ways, while she has survival skills on her own, she depends on his presence alone to keep danger away. He also leaves her with trustworthy humans at the end but stays in her life as a protector. Now I like the original dynamic. It’s sweet, innocent and both characters grow because of it. Rin can work through her traumatic experiences, learns to trust others and Sesshomaru becomes a better person.  What happens afterwards only happens offscreen right until Rin gives birth to his children at the crippling old age of 15. 15. My lil sis is 16 now and couldnt consent to something like that. And she is mature af. It’s ridiculous. My blood boils just typing that shit out. And if you give me the ‘it’s legal in Japan’ excuse. In Germany a 14 yo can be with a 20 yo sexually. Still not okay in societies eyes and on tv it’s never shown as something positive. It’s even explicitly forbidden for authority figures like teachers or protectors to be with their protégé before the age of 18 because the chances of even unintentional grooming are too high. 

Now lets take a quick break and discuss how this kind of relationship usually plays out in other fictional pieces. A minor with an adult is something that is being portrayed at times and I dont have a problem with that. The problem is how it’s being done in Yashahime. And I dont mean the nonexisting character development but the fact that even in adult fiction this type of relationship isnt depicted positively. And this show is for young adults and teens that will exist way after all the discourse as the official sequel to Inuyasha. A cult anime. Meaning that in the future young people will watch it. Just like many still watch Inuyasha to this day. It’s on Netflix for fucks sake. Just to preface what comes next.   Some people say, “But cant you differentiate between reality and fiction?!?!?!” Adults can but younger people havent developed this ability to the same extent.   What happened to Rin was statutory r*pe in the USA, illegal even in Germany and should have been depicted as such unless the showrunners and fandom are okay with watching it without criticism or deconstruction. At best it was done with the intention to please the fanbase but really it’s neglectful to anyother part of the present and future audience. Not even most Animes do that. And I get that Sessriners arent into that shit in real life and an adult show could have gone this route because the viewers understand and add the criticism in their heads. Not ideal but whatever to me. But a YA show to go this route is so wrong on so many levels. The younger viewer who will watch this show in the following years might subconsciously internalize that this is acceptable under certain conditions when it’s not criticized properly on the show. That lowers their alertness when an adult actually starts to groom them. How dense do you have to be to assume that the lack of criticism on this YA show is a good thing?? Not everyone who will ever watch this show is an adult or capable of the same reasoning.

But another thing: for the same reason r*pe isnt depicted in a positive light, these types of relationships arent either. Because it’s not a positive thing and most people and showrunners dont want to see or create it as positive. Even in adult fiction, even in other anime, the media critizes and deconstructs what it’s showing because normally the showmakers dont approve but show it for realisitc or dramatic reasons. the same sessrin storyline would fit a fucking horror or thriller series. Just change the music and show it all. No showmakers in their right mind would go “Aye we got a r*pe scene coming up, lets put romantic music and have a pink filter over it.” “But it’s a different time and culture!” People will say and I agree but to have the audacity to assume that back then it was okay or that in todays Japan it’s okay, is fucked up. Think about it for a second. That’s so fucked up to think. Even if the society back then or in Japan thinks it’s okay, does it make it okay? 15 yo girls werent able to consent to adults and bear their children back then. They had to. They were raised with the expectations and they simply grew up thinking that it was the normal thing. But that doesnt make it right. That’s just societal grooming which did not prepare them in any way or allowed them the human dignity that they would have deserved. To now act like it’s all cool to just show the “positive” aspects or to twist it into something positive is so fucked up. Child Brides are a fucked up concept and to portray it as anything else is fucked up and also undermines the experience many girls still have to make. period.

I heard people say that it’s okay to portray it in this way because “Sesshomaru is not human!!!1″ and that’s correct. He is not. BUT, it’s not about being human but about maturity, consens, and independency. Him being a yokai makes it worse imo because there is an obvious power discrepancy. But in this particular fiction a good relationship could have been established (Kagome and Inuyasha for example) on those foundations but they did not because I can only assume they wanted Sesshomaru to smash and the show to pick up at a point where the other characters arent too old to be cool.

“What’s with Sango and Miroku, Kagome and Inuyasha?? It’s the same!” No it’s not. Rin was 8 at the beginning of the show. Kagome was 15 and Sango was 16-17 when they met their significant others. If you now tell me that you think 8 to be comparable to 15-17, I must ask you to get a reality check. Kagome’s and Sango’s relationships were slowburns starting when they already were able to have sexual and romantical feelings. Rin was a child. And Kagome did not kiss Inuyasha until they knew each other for a long ass period of time and bonded as friends and maybe more. Sesshomaru and Rin never were friends in the same way that Kagome and Inuyasha were because the maturity levels are way off. No adult is friends with a little child in the same way they are friends with their adult friends. And normally you dont grow into such a friendship but in the rare case you do, it’s not when she is 15 but maybe 20 or 25. 

Last but not least, Rin is not a character to the audience the same way Kagome or Sango are. Why? Because she was never shown as an adult or 3 Dimensional character to the audience. We know her as a child who wants to be with her trusted group. She is naive, but tough and doesnt have any motivation or drive on her own outside her group. Like every child she clung to the adults around her and her world outside of this group was nonexisting. Kagome wanted to be successful in school, Sango was a demon hunter and wanted to find her brother. Those are motivations and traits that dont circle around the love interest. Rin never had those because she was not developed to that point. Because she was a child and her entire existence was to develop Sesshomaru and to perhaps give the viewer a character to simply adore. What we see is of her: Mistreated child, -> Dead child -> Child being looked after and healing, -> Child not being homeless anymore -> ????? -> Teenager getting knocked up, pumping out main characters and then getting yeeted into a tree. 

This is not the way you treat a beloved character. There is no dignity to her character. “But she is fictional!!1″ Yes she is. But please show me a show that treats its child characters like this without criticizing it. 

I would have loved to see her grow as her own person. Go on her own adventures or learning a craft or developing meaningful bonds with other characters her age. Forming ideas that dont revolve around Sesshomaru alone. You know her being 3 Dimentional and not just there to pump out main characters. And if she then with 20 or 25 met Sesshomaru again and thought he was the hottest shit, I would have been fine with it. Not happy but fine. But in the little time we saw her as ‘not a child’, she still behaved the way she did before.

I wrote down all of what is said in this video

Yashahime Princess Half-Demon

Interview with Katsuyuki Sumisawa

Series Composition

"Good Afternoon. I'm Katsuyuki Sumisawa, in charge of script and series composition for Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon."

It has been 20 years since the start of the InuYasha anime broadcast, and 10 years since Inuyasha Final Act concluded. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon premiered in October 2020.

Reflecting back on those events, please tell us how you feel.

"I began planning the series about three years ago. At the time, I asked Rumiko Takahashi Sensei to look at an idea I had. And she tweaked it here and there, and finally, with her blessings, I developed a story about Sesshoumaru's daughter. She liked it very much, and said she would do the character designs. Sensei supervises the script and checks the storyline, so it will always remain true to the world of Inuyasha. You can count on that."

What kind of interaction did you have with Rumiko Takahashi (the creator of the Inuyasha series) in developing Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon?

"InuYasha and Sesshoumaru, will have a role of course, but Sensei wanted a story of how their daughters get by in the world. I gave a great deal of thought to creating the characters and to what they will be doing. When you see it, you will understand, but they are complex characters that defy simple explanations. I think you'll find them interesting. Don't miss even a single moment!"

The story revolves around Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha. Please explain their roles and how you feel about them.

"The best part? Well, there's of course everything the sisters do. They're not singled-faceted characters. Both Sesshomaru's daughters live in the modern world and the world of the feudal era. They each experience both worlds. That's the essence of the story. Using their experiences, they slay demons in the feudal era. There are many tumultuous adventures along the way. Also, there's Moroha, the daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome. She is the child of a half-demon and a human... A quarter-demon. A new human- or rather quarter-demon- character joins the action. She's a fascinating character who will be in on much of the action, and I hope you'll watch for her!"

There are many fans who love the Inuyasha series, not just in Japan but all over the world! What are your thoughts on that?

"Inuyasha ended ten years ago in Japan. Rumiko Takahashi Sensei wrapped up the anime beautifully. It was a feel-good, clean ending. It would have been nice to just put it in a vault and preserve it, but Inuyasha is popular abroad even as we speak. Many people abroad think that Inuyasha, Kagome and Sesshoumaru are still battling in the feudal era. I became acutely aware of that when I went to America. A person in cosplay as the Great Dog Demon General and the father of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, asked me what happened to Inuyasha and said he was waiting for the sequel. That is why we receated Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon. Everyone's passion and support are what made this spin-off a reality. So with your continued support, I think we can take this even further. Rumiko Sensei gave us her full support. She said Yashahime was great. She gave us her "stamp of approval"- do you say that in English, too? We have her blessings, so please watch!"

Do you attend the recording sessions?

Are you there for the recording sessions?

"I attend a fair amount of recording sessions. These days, we do remote conferencing via Zoom, so I often view the recording sessions remotely. I can check the recording while watching the anime on a monitor."

What are some similarities between the Inuyasha series and Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon?

"I've described the characters, but... I suggest watching the world of Inuyasha: The Final Act and Inuyasha once more. I've remained very true to the world of Inuyasha. If you watch Yashahime while trying to imagine what Inuyasha might have done, I think you'll more than triple your enjoyment. It will make it much more interesting. Please watch it on home video, like Blu-ray and DVD.

It's been ten years since the series ended on television. Story-wise, over a decade has gone by. Inuyasha and Kagome appear in the first episode, but from there, the drama moves more than a decade ahead. This part is difficult to summarize... In Inuyasha, the Bone Eater's Well becomes impassable. It's no longer possible to pass between the modern and feudal eras. This series is about Towa and Setsuna's relationship to transcend time... That's where the story begins. This is the main point that connects back to Inuyasha. How they time-travel between eras is the essence -- the highlight -- of the story."

Do you have any comments for all the fans out there?

"I'm doing my very best to make Inuyasha fans Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon fans.

We're opening up a world that follows Inuyasha.

I think you will really enjoy it.

Please look forward to it!"

Fanfic Tag Game

Thanks for the tag @lokibus! <3 <3 <3

How many works do you have on Ao3?

54. I've written quite a bit more, but I just can't be bothered to carry over most of the fics from my LJ days. Also, once upon a time I had a super insecure streak and I went on an orphaning spree, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What’s your total Ao3 word count?

Apparently 457,241! Kinda same as above.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Though I Try Not To (The Witcher)

I'm so weirdly pleased about this. I fell into Witcher fandom totally by accident. I don't usually do fixit fics, but I couldn't help myself. This is, I think, the only fic to date where I've started posting as a WIP and actually followed through and finished.

Where All Roads Lead (MCU)

If there is one plot device I'm just eternally a sucker for, it's time travel shenanigans. This was one of the two time travely fics I wrote for Stucky fandom.

For The Space of a Heartbeat (The Witcher)

I'm honestly really surprised by this? This was totally just a self indulgent spur of the moment kinda thing, and it's only a couple thousand words.

Even in the Dark I Know You (The Witcher)

Okay, I lied. There were two WIPs I actually followed through and finished. This started as a random oneshot for a whump week thing, and then the prompt for the next day fit so well with a follow up chapter that this just turned into a whole story. I really enjoy subverting tropes and with witcher biology I see a lot of sensory overload kinds of fics, so I decided to play with the idea in reverse.

Even if it Hurts (Even if it Makes Me Bleed) (The Witcher)

So, most of the time when I settle into a fandom, there's one fic idea that I feel like I cannot leave without writing. For Witcher fandom, this was that fic. I have a lot of complicated thoughts about soulmates as a romantic concept, even more so when you're involving characters like Geralt, for whom fate is so often a double edged sword. This story was very much an excuse to dig into what soulmates mean for personal agency under the guise of a narrative. XD

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Admittedly, I do this with embarrassing inconsistency. Basically, what happens is: * Something gets a good response. * I respond to a few comments and then find myself overwhelmed (mentally, not as in there are a truly overwhelming number of comments). * I step away for a bit. * A month later I realize I still haven't replied. Cue paralyzing indecision about whether it's too late to reply. * Rinse and repeat.

I do want to! And I'm working on it. I've gotten a little better about it, but my apologies to anyone who I haven't responded to. Please know I'm not intentionally ignoring you. ;_;

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Oh hmm. I had a reputation for a really long time as primarily an angst writer, but pretty much all my stories have a happy ending for some given quantity of happy. I guess it kind of depends on how one qualifies that.

Noonwraiths and Other Woodland Forest Creatures maybe. It's got a got a pretty fluffy ending.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

It's a tossup.

I, The Paradox, which is my other time travel fic from my Stucky fandom days, with a paradox (shocking) that lands Steve with two versions of Bucky. For plot purposes even! It's not a particularly smutty story. It ends sort of ambiguously. There's a sequel outlined that was meant to resolve said ambiguity, but alas, it's still sitting in my WIP folder.

Truth in the Periphery. It's a psychological horror story I wrote for an event. I think it's the only fanfic I've ever written that was really intended as a hurt/no comfort kind of story.

Do you write crossovers?

I haven't, but not because I specifically don't. I've just never had an idea that felt compelling enough to follow through on.

have you ever received hate on a fic?

Maaaaybe once or twice a long, long, long time ago, back when FFN was still the best option for posting outside of LiveJournal. I don't think it was even about the writing. I think it was someone was mad that my much younger self tried to sneak smut onto FFN.

Do you write smut? if so, what kind?

I have such a love/hate relationship with smut in my own work. I used to write it a lot because I felt like I had to. It was until I came to terms with being more or less ace irl that it occurred to me why I didn't enjoy writing it. Weirdly, I like reading it just fine.

The thing is, while I don't really care for the physical aspect of it, I like the emotional touchpoints of it, so I do still write smut sometimes. It just tends to be a little cursory in terms of action details and heavy on character dynamics.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. But I used to RP a lot, and it's always been a lot of fun, so I wouldn't be opposed to the idea!

What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Oh shoot. From a romantic standpoint that varies so much depending on what fandom I'm currently feeling enthusiastic about. It's pretty much always a specific character that draws me to a fandom, so I think the most consistent ship I have is favorite character/unconditional love and support. XD

What’s a wip that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

The sequel to I, The Paradox I mentioned earlier.

What are your writing strengths?

If there's one thing I feel like I have a consistently good handle on, it's emotional impact. I put a lot of thought into why people make the choices they do and how they relate to each other, and I would like to think I'm reasonably adept at leading readers to the emotional response I'm going for.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Descriptions. I'm just forever in awe of people who can just write settings/action naturally. It's a constant effort for me, and it's the thing I always feel like I fall short on. I can write navel gazing in my sleep, but an action scene? Pfftttt.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Very situational. Kind of like in movies and television. I don't have any kind of always x or y opinion on it though.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Inuyasha. It was back when I didn't have a computer of my own and would write at the library, so the only record of it was the site I used to draft and post to that is now defunct. No one is happier about this than I am. 😂

What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

I think I'm genuinely pretty proud of everything I've written in the last couple of years, but if I had to pick right now, it'd be It Doesn't Break But it Bends. It's a time loop fic. Someone left "Recommended but you will sob." as their bookmark note for it and I think that might be my crowning achievement in fandom.
