#not that inuyasha actually looks like that at all he just has big ole fuckin eyes

[l-sincline]

My friend and I have been rewatching Inuyasha so here’s some stuff I did at like 1am last night LMAO

#sincline art #inuyasha #I always struggle with translating the big eyes characters into my style LMAO #all the bitches I draw are so mad all the time I simply cannot make them look wide eyed and full of whimsy #not that inuyasha actually looks like that at all he just has big ole fuckin eyes #anyway there’s a little girl somewhere in my conscious that is very happy she can draw Sesshomaru without copying a reference

only because @senpujin​ asked (and definitely not because i can’t help myself)...

SHAYE’S THOUGHTS ON: the reunion (part 1)

there’s really only two ways to talk about trashahime - things that work and things that don’t make no fuckin’ sense. so those will be our categories for today’s class, kiddos.

THINGS THAT WORK:

- letting KAGOME get there first & alone

look i was WORRIED that, as they’ve been doing for almost 40 straight episodes, sunrise was just gonna lump inukag together as a single being and make this all happen at once. treating them as a single character and giving them identical responses. one big ole happy family hug and that’s it, you know? cause yes they’re married AF but they’re two separate people who, if written correctly god help us, would have two very different reactions to seeing moroha again.

largely because they have two VERY different emotional maturity levels but more on that later...

so imagine my shock but ELATION that kagome got there first & alone. that they’re actually gonna give BOTH parents their own time to shine. and i really appreciated the beautiful symmetry of kagome being the last one to hold moroha when they lost her and then the first one to hold her again when she’s returned to them 

- kagome’s musical theme returning the MINUTE she hugged moroha

not much to say here other than BITCHHHHHH ... ok sunrise, you win. well played, that got me. my poor ass heart. the instant i heard that fuckin’ flute i was a sobbing mess.

- mama’s emotional speech :’)

my queen. my goddess. mama kagome. her huge heart and deep well of love were out in FULL ASS FORCE in that moment and it was perfection. she has always carried the heart and soul of the series on her back, the emotional anchor for the other characters to move around, and this moment is NO different. the VA for kagome deserves all the awards for this one, holy shit.

i actually really LIKED moroha’s initial awkwardness, and that she didn’t instantly hug her mother back. this is the first time in the show that ANYONE has hugged moroha, so it’s understandable that she’s unfamiliar and uncomfortable with such an open and vulnerable display of affection. ESPECIALLY one directed at her. ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY one centered in such a deeply personal and painful subject that moroha has been actively pushing away her entire life.

this speech gave moroha EXACTLY what she needed to hear - that her mother not only missed her, but that she was sorry. that she has ALWAYS been loved and her mother, without knowing the details of what has happened to her daughter, is devastated that she missed out on moroha’s life. for fuck’s sake, for all kagome knows in this moment, moroha had the BEST life living with the wolves - but she’s still sorry because SHE wasn’t there. 

she is sorry that moroha was ALONE. she never wanted that for her child, never wanted that for their FAMILY, and it’s palpable in kagome’s anguished and repeated sobs. despite what was shown to her in the last fourteen years by her mentor and the corpse dealer, despite how she FELT? it turns out moroha has always been LOVED DESPERATELY. :”)

and it’s not until moroha hears this, takes it all in, that her happy tears come and she’s able to hug her mother back. able to ACCEPT this display of love, because she knows it’s real.

THINGS THAT DON’T MAKE NO FUCKIN’ SENSE:

- WHY kagome got there first & alone

what. the. fuck ??? this truly makes 0 sense. we see inukag rush off together at the sound of moroha & the twins crash landing into the gravesite, but then kagome arrives ALONE???

why was kagome running AT ALL ??? homegirl does not run; she is carried virtually everywhere like the queen she fuckin’ is by her husband. he’s 10x faster, it’s stupid and inefficient to let her human ass struggle to keep up. especially when THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT MADE THAT NOISE ??? you’re telling me that inuyasha, the man who no exaggeration has leapt to his certain death to protect kagome from the unknown about a billion times is just like ‘hey cool, no idea what that huge noise was but like, go on ahead all alone without your bow and arrows it’ll probably be fine see ya later’.

like ?!?!?!?!

but ALSO it makes no sense because ... if moroha can still remember kagome’s scent, when she last smelled it AS A LITERAL INFANT, then why doesn’t her fully grown adult father recognize hers the minute she lands ??? like we’ve established in canon that inuyasha’s nose can pick up on kagome’s scent from like, six football fields away - you’re telling me his ONLY CHILD’S scent is in the wind, one that smells like HIS and KAGOME’S mixed together, and this man doesn’t pick up on it ??? 

- kagome’s WILD initial reaction

bro i am hoping sunrise gives us some kinda explanation for this next weekend, like kagome’s been tortured with mirages of fake morohas for the last fourteen years or something because ...

that. was. STUPID.

truly, in my black heart of not trusting the writers, i think they couldn’t help themselves - moroha is their comic relief, and they somehow had to make this VERY EMOTIONAL moment funny. like there are MANY OTHER WAYS of showing kagome’s shock & disbelief that it’s actually her baby girl standing in front of her that aren’t her doing the ‘osuwari’ face and stomping over. 

thanks, i hated it.

the SET UP for next week’s part 2 reunion

... if it already makes no sense that inuyasha didn’t smell moroha the minute she landed, it DEFINITELY makes no sense that he couldn’t smell her when she’s standing 25 feet away. again, like the kagome osuwari face thing - i GET it that they wanted to show how shocked moroha’s parents are to see her. that’s fine. that makes sense. 

HOW they did it is fuckin’ stupid and makes no god damned sense.

bitch if anything, at the bare minimum, you know inuyasha could smell his wife SOBBING as he walked up. you’re really telling me that he smelled THREE NEW PEOPLE AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS ALONE (one of whom is his daughter hello???) AND KAGOME CRYING AND HE JUST STROLLS IN LIKE AIN’T SHIT GOING ON???

nah fam. nah. his ass would’ve been swinging tessaiga first and asking questions later. which, tb quite fuckin’ h, WOULD’VE BEEN A BETTER AND FUNNIER INTRODUCTION TO HIM THAN THIS BUG-EYED STARING CONTEST SHIT THEY DID INSTEAD !!!

anyways, i hate this show but i love the inufam. thanks for coming to my TEDTalk

#LOL anyone who read this whole thing gets a cookie #why am i like this ??? #[i gotta go lay down] OOC SHIT
