This scene from Kikyo’s death in chapter 465 / TFA episode 8 has some pretty different translations depending on where you look. It’s a tricky one, especially the last speech bubble, because the subject of the sentence isn’t very clear.

Let’s break it down:

INUYASHA 桔梗 / が / もう / 悲しむな / と / ... Kikyou / ga / mou / kanashi mu na / to / ... Kikyou / is (the topic) / already; enough / not to be sad; to mourn; to regret / (particle) / ...

KAGOME 犬夜叉 / ... Inuyasha / ...

INUYASHA ずっと / 守っている / と... zutto / mamotteiru / to... forever / protect / (particle)

Inuyasha’s sentence all together: "Kikyou says to not be sad anymore and (she'll) protect (us?) forever."

The "[topic] ga" phrase can start or end a sentence. It's used to indicate who is saying the sentence. "this person said..." Informally. と...と..と (to...to...to) is used to list things in Japanese. He places と (to) after each statement. “to” is also a "co participant" particle. Like "with" is in English. But it also functions as a verbal comma.

Already we can see that the fan translation was wrong because it assumed that Kagome was the one talking in the last speech bubble. The anime voice acting pretty much confirms that that is wrong (I assume that Sunrise would have asked RT if they weren’t sure) but also, it seems like Inuyasha’s first sentence wasn’t really complete when Kagome said his name.

The “protect forever” in the last bubble is most likely a continuation of what he was saying. In this sentence there isn’t anything that implies “want” from Inuyasha, so the “I didn’t want Kikyo to endure any more sorrows” and “I wanted to protect her forever” seems like a loose interpretation of the dialogue from the people who worked on the English subs of the anime. In the Japanese voice acting you can clearly hear him say “Kikyou ga mou kanashi mu na to... zutto mamotteiru to” so Sunrise didn’t change what was said in the manga, it’s really just a translation decision from the people who worked on the English subs.

The verb “said” isn’t there directly but it’s implied. Inuyasha is basically repeating Kikyo’s last words/wishes. "Don't mourn anymore. - Kikyou" is more literal, but that's weird in English. It also makes sense contextually for Kikyo to be the one saying she’ll “protect [them] forever” since her light ends up saving Kohaku’s life later, but the translators probably didn’t know that in advance.

Conclusion: For this scene the Viz translation of the manga and the English dub seems to be more accurate.

Do you have any suggestions for arranged marriage/arranged engagement inukag fan fics where they may not necessarily be in love at the start but they learn more about each other and eventually fall in love? ☺️

Hi there, anon! We previously posted an arranged marriage list, but were able to find a few more for you below.

Enjoy!

Jewel of my Heart by MomsDarkSecret (T)

Kagome inherits the Shikon Jewel, but circumstances lead her mother to offer Kagome’s hand in marriage to the highest bidder. Trouble ensues and Kagome finds herself facing the prospect of an alternate suitor: Inuyasha.

Completely Yours by KikyoHater4L (M)

Kagome’s life was perfect. She was a daughter of a respected Earl, living a comfortable life. She was supposed to marry a Duke she had took liking of, until her farther decided a different life for her.

Now Kagome was living as a concubine of a Prince. She hated herself and the new tittle she had to live with, but what happens when she falls in love with her owner?

Meant To Be by Enjeru's Light (T)

Sango is a princess and its time for her to go meet her husband to be. Sango, however, has other plans. She forces Kagome her lady in waiting to switch places with her. Now Kagome is forced to meet Sango's foulmouthwouldbe fiancee...Or is he...?

Another's Name But My Heart by Lady of the Ink (K+)

Pretending to be Kikyo, Kagome marries Inuyasha to prevent a war. They soon grow close, but will their love last through her lie and the real Kikyo's attempts to reclaim what is hers?

Terms and Conditions by @heynikkiyousofine (M)

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.

There's Only Ever Been You by @neutronstarchild (T)

Nothing could possibly be worse for Inuyasha than standing there, on his wedding day, waiting for whoever it was that his parents had decided he would marry. Didn’t they know that he had been in love since he was small? Well… the dream of seeing her again has died, replaced with whoever this stranger is. That is, until his bride raises her veil…

Arranged Hearts by greyeyedrune (T)

Inuyasha is a rich lord's son, and Kagome is a nobleman's daughter. Because of their positions, they are forced to participate in a festival designed to help the wealthy find matches. Think Feudal speed-dating. Neither one is happy about it, but it may end up being an experience that they'll both remember.

The Thorn Flower by Marishaten (M)

Forced to marry by circumstances, can love blossom between the two?

Idk where the whole "Yona hate" is even coming from. Like we must have different social circles because every sidlink fan I've talked to (myself included) is either A. Disappointed or B. Poly shipping them all because why not which honestly? Both are valid. I've yet to see any hate. Critcism I've seen on her character, but not hate.

And definitely not shipping wars. Holy balls, guys, I was part of the Hetalia fandom in 2011/2012. THOSE were shipping wars. I started shippinng in like 2006 or so and man the fanfiction was absolutely bananas. Inuyasha fans literally feral then over Kagome vs Kikyo.

Like holy shit. This stuff is tame compared to what I've witnessed. Stop making mountains of molehills. Bring 'er down to like a four, antis, because you're at an eleven when you got no need to be.

#ramblings at 4:30 am #sidlink #im on the lavender marriage side i think thats perfect #i also like the poly side ngl #sidon has two hands and can hold his boyfriends in one and his fiances in the other #yona is an okay character like not the best but certainly not the worst #b or c tier character at best #she is lovely to you and i 100% think she would be supportive

Indulging myself in writing a little retelling of Inuyasha, so I wanted to share it with you. 💕

“Uh, hello there?” She called out and when he didn’t move, she decided to climb up to make sure he wasn’t injured. As she grew closer, the warm sensation from before came back, making her stop and look around for that frightening monster. When the area remained silent, the only sound was the gentle rustle of the leaves. She moved to step over the last root, coming just inches away with the man’s face, except he wasn’t a man at all. Not the kind she was used to at least.

Sure, there were plenty of cosplayers back home and people were constantly changing their appearance with the different trends each year, but none looked like him. He looks so peaceful. Raising her hand, she traced his features, her fingertips trailing his sharp nose and jaw. His brows were dark, with matching lashes that fanned across his cheeks and she briefly wondered what his eyes looked like.

Brushing his bangs aside, she admired how soft his silver hair was, pausing to look closer at two small ears standing at the top of his head. Reminding her a bit of Buyo, she stroked the velvety fur, almost falling from her perch when a soft voice spoke.

He is to you, as you are to him.

Gripping the sleeping man’s red robe and leaning into him, she gazed around the clearing, afraid she had gotten caught. When no one appeared, she straightened herself, nervously laughing at her paranoia when she noticed a single arrow protruding from his chest, exactly where his heart would be. Looking back at the man’s face, she wondered who he was.

Inuyasha.

“Is that his name?” She whispered, when suddenly an arrow whipped past her head, grazing her cheek as it embedded itself in the trunk. Touching her cheek, she hissed at the slight sting. What the? Male voices yelled out and when she whirled around and positioned herself in front of Inuyasha, she was met with fierce gazes.

“You there, get down girl!” A tall man with dark hair hollered. She assumed he was the leader and suddenly, she was very afraid. I’m alone, in a strange forest with men pointing their weapons at me. Swallowing, she stood her ground, ready to defend herself and the man behind her. Noticing a few holding bow and arrows, she wondered if she could take one of them down and use it to defend herself.

“Child, what are ye doing up there?” An older woman, wearing a white and red robe that she usually wore during festivals at the shrine, appeared, the men parting to let her through. She must be the one in charge. Noticing the black eye patch covering her right eye and her weapon, she wondered if this priestess was some type of warrior princess. Hopefully she wouldn’t let these men hurt her. “Come down, we will not harm ye anymore than the hanyou would.” Hanyou?

Kagome nodded, carefully scooting down the roots, giving Inuyasha one last glance at Inuyasha and stopped right in front of the woman. She observed Kagome, using her good eye to take in Kagome’s appearance and when she frowned, Kagome grew worried.

“Kikyo?” she whispered.

Shaking her head, Kagome corrected her, “No, my name is Kagome.”

“I am Kaede. Would ye mind telling me what ye were doing up there?” She nodded, pointing her chin in the tree’s direction.

“I was searching for my way home when I came upon him.” She frowned, glancing up at him still sleeping peacefully against the tree. There’s something about him.

“Ah, well be careful child, he is not to be touched for he is dangerous.”

“What happened?” She asked, her heart reaching out to comfort him. Why am I so drawn to him? He is to you, as you are to him. What does that even mean? And who said it? Before Kaede could explain, the ground shook, a deep rumbling making her tremble. A familiar shriek filled the air and Kagome gasped as the men around her prepared themselves for a battle. Oh no, not again.

“Give me the Sacred Jewel!” The monster’s voice cried out, causing Kaede to look at her.

“Ye have the jewel!?”

“I don’t know what she’s talking about!” She called, the creature’s screaming overpowering her own. Suddenly, she was thrown off her feet, landing on her back as a large centipede emerged from the ground, its eyes glaring right at her. Help me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Kagome, run!” Kaede yelled, releasing an arrow into the creature’s body. The body, half a woman, half a giant centipede, lunged at her, snatching her leg up in her teeth. Yelping at the pain as her calf was sliced open and as the centipede flung her across the clearing, she braced herself for the fall.

Landing right in front of the tree, she grimaced as blood seeped through the denim, a tear in her favorite. You can buy another pair. Get up! Her instincts called out to her, warning her of the danger and urging her to run to safety. When she glanced back to see a group of men fighting off the overgrown bug, she pushed through the pain and began to climb. Making it to the top of the roots, where Inuyasha’s feet hung, she was suddenly picked up by her waist and tossed into the air, a sharp pain in her side.

Looking down to see a small pink jewel emerge from her body, shimmering in the afternoon sunlight. Did that just come out of me? Wincing as she landed on the ground, she watched the jewel bounce and roll to a stop in front of her.

“The Sacred Jewel! It will be mine!” The centipede screamed, lunging straight for her. Grabbing the orb, Kagome rolled out of the way just as the monster attacked. Breathing heavily, she stood to her feet, gripping the jewel. All this over a gem?

Kaede rushed over, blocking her with her body and her bow aimed for the creature’s face.

“Kagome, ye must not let Mistress Centipede have the Jewel Of Four Souls.” She ordered, firing the arrow into Mistress Centipede’s body, slicing off an arm in the process. Slipping the jewel in her front pocket, she noticed a discarded bow and quiver with three arrows to her left. Get to a high vantage point and shoot. Maybe that bright pink light will come back to help.

Ducking as the monster’s tail tried to knock her out, she grabbed the weapon and began to run back to the Sacred Tree, determined to take this thing down. As she made it to the top of the roots once again, she looked to see if Inuyasha was unharmed and froze when golden eyes glared right at her. Gold.

“You’re awake.” She breathed.

“You know, you shouldn’t play with bugs, Kikyo.” He sneered, his eyes flashing with hatred.

“Why you,” She growled, her temper rising, she gripped the bow tight as she stormed up to him, “My name isn’t Kikyo, it’s Kagome. Ka-Go-Me.”

He leaned forward, discreetly sniffing when his eyes widened and he gaped at her, all traces of anger and hate gone, muttering one word.

“Mate.” Huh?

Another scream from below had her whirling around, knocking an arrow and aiming, shooting the tail of the centipede as it almost took out two men. She had to focus on defeating whatever this thing was so she could home and this nightmare could end.

“Aim for the heart, Kagome.” Inuyasha suggested and the way he said her name calmed her heart. Nodding, she fired the second arrow, missing the heart by inches and slicing another arm off her body. The centipede hissed, spinning around to snarl at her. She was shoved back against Inuyasha’s body before she could grab her last arrow and she dropped her bow and quiver when the scaly body wrapped around the trunk. Gasping for air as pain rickotched through her body, Kagome gripped Inuyasha’s hiori tight.

“Kagome!” He ground out through clench teeth.

“Inuyasha, do something!” She called out, black spots filling her vision as Mistress Centipede squeezed her body tighter.

“Focus. Use the arrow next to my head and stab her in the heart! Only you can purify her!” He managed to say, his voice cracking at the pressure, but she could tell he was in pain all the same. Spotting the arrow he talked about, she managed to wiggle her right arm free just enough to reach and pull the weapon out of the bark.

The centipede’s human body hovered above them, just out of arm’s reach. She needed something to bring the monster closer. An idea popped into her head and Kagome managed to free her other arm, removing the jewel from her pocket. Please, please let this work.

“What are you doing, stupid? She can’t have it!” Inuyasha yelled as the glowing orb caught the monster’s attention.

“The Sacred Jewel!” She gasped, grinning so wide, her bloodied fangs dripped onto Kagome’s shirt. She lunged forward and Kagome dodged just as her body got close enough, praying to whatever kami to bring her strength and stabbed Mistress Centipede in the heart.

A bright flash engulfed them and the centipede’s body turned to dust as her bones littered the ground below. Taking a shuddering breath when she was no longer pinned, Kagome sank to her knees, still holding the arrow and the jewel tight. All was silent for a second, when Kaede and the men surrounded the tree.

“He’s awake!” One man gasped, holding a wounded another on his arm, pointing right at Inuyasha. Tension grew as abled bodied men raised their weapons, aiming their way.

“She must be a witch!”

“Dark priestess!”

“He must not get free!”

“He will destroy the village!”

Their voices grew louder and Kagome huddled against Inuyasha’s legs, whimpering. She was tired, her body hurt and all she wanted to do was go home. They defeated the monster, couldn’t they let me live?

“Don’t you touch her!” Inuyasha roared, and when she looked up at him, his eyes were seeping with red as purple stripes began to form along his cheekbones, his growl deep in his throat. What is happening?

“Child, slowly come down. We will not hurt ye, but that demon is dangerous, despite his innocence.” Kaede ordered, keeping her eye on Inuyasha. Demon? Unsure of what to do, the little voice from earlier whispered in her ear.

He will not harm you, for you are his.

Slowly standing, she dropped the arrow and slipped the jewel back into her pocket, staring out at the group.

“Kagome?” Inuyasha growled softly and she reached her hand back, intertwining her fingers with his own.

“He won’t harm me.”

Kaede stepped forward, calling out for her when Inuyasha growled once more, making sure she kept her distance. When she stopped, Kagome nodded, turning to look him in the eyes. What she saw made her confident in her decision.

“How do I free you?” She asked softly.

“Uh, Kikyo pinned me to the this fucking tree with her arrow. Try pulling it out.” He squeezed her hand gently, his marks fading as his eyes returned to their previous shade. Nodding, she reached up, gripping the arrow tight and closed her eyes. If I set him free, please don’t let them harm him. Kami, give me strength to do what is right.

Taking a deep breath, she began to tug, meeting a little resistance. She could hear the voices from below, murmuring between them. She could feel warmth radiating from Inuyasha’s body as his heart beat. Tu-thump, tu-thump.

The warm sensation that she was slowly becoming used to filled her body and she knew it was time. Opening her eyes, she saw the arrow was glowing a soft blue, much like the well earlier.

“It’s okay.” Inuyasha whispered, giving her hand another squeeze.

She nodded, pulling harder and when suddenly the arrow evaporated into thin air, releasing him from the tree. Smiling, she took a step back to allow him to move, missing her step. Feeling air underneath her feet, she began to fall backwards when red clad arms wrapped themselves around her waist and together, they both landed on the ground

The men scattered, giving them plenty of space and Inuyasha set her down on her feet, his hands still circling her body.. Kaede slowly approached, carefully watching them.

“Inuyasha, do ye still want to possess the jewel?”

“I didn’t do it.” He whispered.

“I know, but you need to let Kagome go.”

“She is my mate and I will not hurt her.” He snarled, his grip tightening and when she winced, he murmured an apology, gently nuzzling her hair.

“She is hurt, I can bandage her wounds if you would like.”

Inuyasha looked at her, silently asking if that was fine with her and Kagome nodded, smiling. Her energy was fading and she really needed to lie down. Maybe I’ll wake up and this will all be some weird dream.

“Very well,” Kaede turned, heading back to the village, beckoning them to follow. “We can discuss everything and ye can explain what just happened.”

“Why should I trust you, ya old hag?” Inuyasha asked, not moving just yet, eyeing the men still surrounding them.

“Because Kikyo was my sister and Naraku was the one to pit ye two against each other.” Kaede answered, looking at the two of them over her shoulder.

Kagome could tell he was intrigued, and tried to step out of his arms to follow her, her vision blurred. Gripping her head, she groaned, hearing Inuyasha and Kaede call out her name before blackness overtook her.

Random Scenarios- Illumi

here’s some half baked drabbles that don’t get posts of their own

tw: kidnapping, illumi is skrunkly, mentions of torture, I’m awful at writing and I’m being so deadass, petnames, solar eclipse, reader is a space nerd kinda in the last one

“Hmm?” His facial expression remained the same, with the exception of the slight tilt of his head. Your nail traces over a scar on the back of his hand “I don’t know, just trying to make conversation..” he notices your apprehension more than likely, not that it really matters

“It came from one of my first training sessions when I was a child, it came from a blade” his answer wasn’t unexpected, but it didn’t help the akward environment of the room as the tension settled

“oh…I’m sorry I asked” you look at your own hands, slightly embarrassed of the difference, knowing you were nothing compared to him causing you to hide them in your pockets

“it’s quite alright, i do not have an unpleasant time recalling my childhood. I know you may struggle to understand, but it is in my blood to do what I do” his hand grasped yours and inspected it

A small smile came across his features as he looked at you “I admire your…softness, just as much as I hope you may grow to enjoy my company” he interlocked his fingers with yours

you look away, shame was a common feeling since your ‘arrival’ on the mountain; it was nice to know your flaws were appreciated, even if only in an endearing sense.

♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪

The music playing was sweet refreshment as you hummed along, thankful for the slight respite from the stress

“Illumi?” Your voice called out, slightly confused as you realized his absence. “Illumi!” You continue to yell, beginning to get slightly irritated as you exit your shared bedroom and enter the hallway of his wing

the expensive furniture blurred slightly as you jogged down the hall, stomping slightly— your anger slightly relieved when you see Kalluto “Oh, sorry to bother, have you seen Illumi today?” He sways his fan in his hand “No, Ask Milluki” the small boy continues past you with elegance

“thank you!” You called after him before navigating towards Millukis room, wide hallways already have been memorized

the house shoes given to you clicked against the marble floor outside of his room, tapping your foot as you knocked on the door “Ugh! Who is it!” You hear his chair hiss against the floor of his room and he opens the door

“The hell do you want?” He grows slightly more relaxed when he sees it’s just you “Kalluto said you knew where Illumi was?” Milluki practically hisses at you “The little goblin said that? Little fucker is wrong, I don’t know where he is, go away!” He slams the door in your face, making you flinch slightly

“Well, Silva is my second best option I guess..” it’s quite the walk to get to his area of the mansion but it gave you time to prepare how you plan to approach him. “Sir?” Your unsure voice called out as you stood outside the doorway with your head hung low and eyes staring at the indents in the otherwise pristine floor

“is there something you need of me?” Your surprised at the lack of malice in his voice and he beckons you into the dimly lit room “Oh, uhm…I was just wondering if you knew where illumi is, sorry to bother” he remains stoic “Ah, he’s out in the gardens, but may I ask what you need of him?” You only just barely notice Zeno sitting next to him, but you straighten your posture at the sight he doesn’t seem to notice your awkwardness “Oh, I just haven’t seen him so far today…wanted to say hello I guess” he smiles “Young love, I suppose? Perhaps I’ll join Kikyo in her afternoon tea today..” his expression changes to one of seeming remembrance

“Have a wonderful day, Sir!” You quickly exit before he can strike up anymore conversation and go to search for illumi in the garden

“Oh..” you stare at the hole in the ground, dirt clearly being taken up but not showing anything “Illu?” You continue your walk around, eventually sitting and sighing as you sit on the dirt patch. Not caring much but choosing to focus on the clouds in the blue sky today

“AHHHH!” You swear you scream so loud it must’ve sent Zeno back to his 20s with its volume, the ground sucking you in for a brief moment before your above ground again, feeling familiar hands around your waist

“Did you want to nap with me?” His voice is surprisingly worried as he pats your back “I just wanted to say hello! It took me half your family to find you by the way!” You lean away from him, huffing and crawling out

“My apologies, we may partake in something of your choosing if it makes you feel better?” He quickly kicks the dirt back and follows you as you walk “No!” You say, determined to stay angry “I can have the butlers get us some of that one thing you liked…ah! Ice cream!” He quirks a brow when you stop walking and look at him “I may accept this bribe…” he leans down ever so slightly to try to ignore his slight towering from his lanky frame “Not a bribe, but, if it means you will come join me in bed afterwards your welcome to call it so”

“You’re such a jerk!” You push him away, well, you attempt to and he moves backwards of his own accord. “Gotoh!” His voice yelled out and he walked away—leaving you to go occupy yourself, deciding to sit in the hallway while you wait “Oi, lady” a young voice calls out to you “what do you need, Sir?” A smile adorns your features and you wave

“Don’t need anything, just wanted to know why you’re sitting out here? The mansion might be a little weird, but we have couches y’know” you lean against the wall more “Waiting for Illumi, and I figured I might be able to avoid his family members if I stayed somewhere…mundane”

“well, it didn’t work, and Kikyo will screech if you scuff her floors” he doesn’t wait for a response, skating down the hall and mumbling under his breath

the colors mixed into each other you zoned out, only interrupted by seeing a pair of long legs come into view in front of you “Dear, I’ve obtained your so called bribe” he hands you a bowl of ice cream (pretend it’s whatever flavor you want idc)

“Thank you, Lumi” you get up and allow him to guide you back to you twos bedroom, sitting at the vanity with the bowl leaving a slight imprint on it, he takes a small bite of his, not seeming to give away much

“What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?” You blurt out “Does it matter?” A scoff escapes without much thought “Yes, it absolutely does” he sighs “I’ve never really eaten much of it, but a few years back I’d tried some with Hisoka…I got some strangely colored sherbert” you scoff again “that’s not ice cream, stop committing ice cream treason right now” he tilts his head “You never fail to amaze me”

“Same for you, I guess..” you mutter, placing your empty bowl on the vanity “now, would you like to take a nap like a normal people and not a soon-to-be divorcee?”

“Define normal?”

♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪

The grass slowly swayed as it got darker “Hm, do you want to go watch?” You got up and grabbed the solar glasses

“Sure, but shouldn’t you be wearing some eye protection?” He shrugs and remains standing in his typical plank stance “No, I don’t need it” doubt wormed its way in but you kept quiet in hopes of making sure you saw it in the exact moment it happened

the sliver remains, orange filling your vision for a few seconds before it’s over nearly as fast as it came . “May we go back inside now?” Illumi sounds slightly irritated but doesn’t make any moves to stop you

“I guess we can go back in” you mask the disappointment and follow him back inside the manor, throwing the glasses in your back pocket for safe keeping. “If you’d like, you may talk to father or grandfather about your interest”

“Maybe” you sigh and begin the walk back to your bedroom, waiting until the next time you may get to break routine again.

Hello! I saw your Litchi hikari club iceberg, I'm a huge Litchi hikari club fan, and i'm obssessed with finding stuff about the original 80's play. I know next to nothing about it, so if you have some sources where i can find out stuff about it or maybe read the script, i would be eternally grateful. Thank you for reading ♡♡♡

The script tragically does not exist for the public to view and likely never will - the script was given to the performers in handwritten copies and thus only the performers (or at least some of them) still own it. Tsunekawa has posted a few photos of his copy. He has also recently (this month!) contemplated doing a livereading of the script on Twitter Spaces, so that might be really exciting.

The only other way the play's script is preserved is an audio-only recording of the original performance that is likewise in Tsunekawa's posession. He held live events for community listening in 2015, when the LHC movie was playing in theatres, but has since stopped doing so.

Namesearching ライチ光クラブ on Tsunekawa's twitter is generally a goldmine of information nuggets such as them not only using pig guts but the pig guts actually being REused for multiple performance, causing them to be quite smelly. (Amiya also has twitter but he's said pretty much nothing about LHC except for it being inspired by Bunuel's The Forgotten Ones, which he recommends people interested in the 80s play watch.)

Information about the original play is luckily largely consolidated into two major sources:

This blog post and its addendum, meticulously researched by a Japanese fan who attended the originalm play back then. They even dug up even a playlist of the music used.

This youtube video (with eng subs!) also does a deep dive into the original play, consulting contemporary magazine coverage to reconstruct the plot as well as the circumstances around the play.

They also lay out that since the play was co-written with Kikyo Tagane, who has totally vanished off the rader, the rights situation for any script re-publishing is ALSO iffy... We might never see the full script sadly, but we can keep hoping!!

Tell me what your favourite Byakuran/Shouichi fic you’ve written is?💜 (and ramble about it if you like)

Oh friend! Thanks for this ask! I am super excited to answer, though picking only one 100/51 fic is challenging! Still, I have your answer!

My favourite 100/51 (Byakuran/Shouichi) fic I've written is and older story titled Monochrome and Lavender. I have several reasons why I like this story. To sum it up I love the premise of the entire story. It centres around Shouichi who has lost colour vision thanks to Byakuran. He's only able to see shades of lavender or lilac. I'm a big fan of eye magic in series. Whether the magic is a gift/the source of a character's super power or if the magic is a curse, I love it all.

The added layer of horror to the series is subtle as well. It's difficult for other characters to realize Shouichi is under a curse thanks to Byakuran and his possessive/obsessive nature over Shouichi. I enjoyed writing the subtle mark of possession that I feel rarely appears in my other 100/51 fics.

Finally, the "mic drop" at the end, where Shouichi reveals to Kikyo that he's under a curse is my favourite part of the entire fic. Any time I can add in Kikyo and Shouichi interacting, I will do so.

And there you go friend! I hope you like my answer and explanation to my favourite 100/51 fic.

(Also, an honourable mention goes to Delivery. I also love that fic.)

This is a entry for day 28 and day 29 of @inuvember event Inuvember 2023. This is a modern day AU featuring my fan Inukag children.

The alarm clock wake up Kagome, causing her to open her eyes. Getting up, she head to the bathroom to take her morning shower as her husband groan that he has wake up. The white hair man stretched his head as he start to open his eyes.

In his bedroom, fifteenth years old Akio get up from bed and start getting dressed, putting on his school uniform.

Kagome open the bedroom to see her fifteen years old daughter Moroha still sleeping in bed. Kagome feel a bit annoyed at her daughter laziness and she shout, “MOROHA, GET UP!” The black hair girl got surprised awake that she fall off of her bed. Moroha quickly got up and said, “Okay, okay, mom. Good morning to you too.”

Thirteen years old Izayo peek out of her bedroom and ask her mother, “Mom, I hear yelling. Is everything okay?” Kagome reply, “Yeah. I have to get your lazy older sister out of bed. Please get dressed, honey. You got a school day today.” Izayo close the door of her bedroom as Kagome head downstairs to get breakfast ready.

After his shower, Inuyasha start getting dressed for the work day as he hear his family getting their breakfast outside.

Akio, Moroha, and Izayo are having a quick morning meal while the younger of the kids, twin eight years old boys Haru and Atsugi, get cereal as Kagome work in the kitchen.

Haru and Atsugi grab their bowls of cereal and were about to run off to the living room until Kagome catch them in time and said, “Hold it right there! You two know not to bring food in the living room.”

The kids get their school supplies and backpacks and then head out of the door to their parents cars. Akio, Moroha, and Izayo get in Inuyasha’s car, while Kagome get the boys in her car.

Inuyasha drop Akio and Moroha off at the high school they go to, with Inuyasha saying to his twins, “You two have a good day at school today!” Inuyasha then drive off to Izayo’s school. The twins head inside while other students are entering as well.

Once they reach Izayo’s middle school, Inuyasha said to his daughter as she get off, “Alright, have a good day at school, Izayo! I love you!” Izayo said back, “I love you too, dad!” Inuyasha then drive to his work.

Kagome drop Haru and Atsugi off at their elementary school.

Arriving at the nursing home where she works, Kagome parks her car and head inside. She find the staff room and changed in her nurse clothes.

Kagome find Kaede, the 80s old woman she is taking care of, in her bedroom, looking out in the window. Kaede has some traumatic events since the Americans’ bombing in World War II which made Kaede lost her right eye. Kaede turn to Kagome and said, “Big sister.” It is a bit sad for Kagome that Kaede think she is her older sister Kikyo.

In high school, Akio and Moroha head to their home rooms. In her home room, Moroha meet her friends Kin’u and Gyokuto.

In her middle school, Izayo meet with her friend Hisui and her cousins Towa and Setsuna.

After school is over, Akio and Moroha walk home, with the black hair girl saying, “I’m glad that school is done.”

At home, the kids get ready for the most hard part of school ever, homework.

Kagome said to Moroah, “Here, let me help.” The mother look at her elder daughter’s homework while saying, “Let’s see....” only to get overwhelmed with the problems as Kagome think to herself, ‘Oh my kama. This changed from my high school years. Maybe that changed it, or maybe I just suck at it after so long. I don’t know if I can...’ Worried, Inuyasha ask his wife, “Kagome, are you okay?” Kagome reply, “I just need a nap.” Kagome then lay down on the couch as Moroha quickly said, “Maybe we have too much homework for one night.”

Custom Toonami Block Week 168 Rundown

Spy X Family: We’re back to the two vignette format which I’m not the biggest fan of but what can you do. Becky wants to seduce Loid despite that being illegal for several reasons and heads over to Anya’s house to both accidentally flex her wealth and steal Yor’s man. Anya’s surprisingly on board with Operation Bed a Married Man Eight Times Your Age because Becky is rich and flashes through a montage of how cool having a rich six year old for a mom would be. Loid is just asking questions for spy intel shit cause you can never have too much of that but shenanigans ensue and Yor of course comes in and freaks out initiating a high-speed chase down the street when she thinks she’s gotten Becky sick. It’s funny because not only are the adults oblivious to the plan but like they wouldn’t take it seriously even if they knew, SHE’S SIX. Becky eventually learns to respect Yor’s strength and see her as a kind person and potentially figure out some polygamy shit I guess because now she’s just trying to prove she’s strong so Loid will like her like Yor, that makes three women trying to have a shonen tournament for this man’s oblivious affection. Speaking of which the second half of the episode is Fiona running around doing Loid’s makeup work while he’s on the cruise ship and going through a full-ass training arc to beat Yor that I’m absolutely sure will make zero difference next time they meet.

Inuyasha The Final Act: A lot’s going on in this episodes and we’re juggling like four different plotlines because The Final Act decided to say fuck it to the drawn out storytelling and be like let’s get this shit done, it’s like reverse filler. Kikyo has taken Midoriko’s soul to once again extend her fleeting life by a bit longer and reveals what I assume to have been her plan all along with purifying Naraku’s soul with the completed jewel which is why she gave him the half the jewel back when Kagome had a bunch of shards before Shard Inflation occurred, like I think she’s making a bigger deal out of this than it has to be, Naraku’s not completely invulnerable despite what she says even without his heart and there can be and are other ways to obliterate him on a molecular level but at least seeing her game plan now makes some of her previous actions make more sense. Since Kohaku has what is ostensibly the last shard standing and isn’t able to make nice with the group reminding him of his crimes, he decides to go with Kikyo and go all in on the complete the jewel plan. Meanwhile Koga undergoes his trial to obtain the Goraishi and finally catch up with the power creep that hit like a hundred episodes ago like Koga was essentially power crept from his introduction but I do love him and the Goraishi is one of my favorite anime weapons so it’s cool to see him be the first of Final Act’s ‘oh yeah other characters besides Inuyasha probably need upgrades too’ list. Last but not least, Kagura is running from Naraku which seems kinda pointless since he literally has her heart in the palm of his hand like I don’t think it’s like cell phone signal like if she just gets far enough away from it, it won’t work. To prove this point Naraku just teleports in front of her and fucking gives her the heart back only to stab her full of poison a second later and be like ‘cool story bro, enjoy the freedom, all five minutes of it’. Meanwhile meanwhile, Sesshomaru is fighting Moryomaru and fucking breaks the Tokijin over his head and spoils the ‘imma steal all his energy’ that is every Sesshomaru fight because they made Sesshomaru way too strong so every fight has to revolve around trying to steal his power. Still once he’s done he rushes to where Kagura is to at least be with her as she dies, telling her as much that he came to see her which is a frightening display of honesty and openness for Sesshomaru, like their relationship kinda came out of nowhere idk why Sesshomaru cares at all about her at this point and I’m not entirely sure when Kagura’s infatuation turned from ‘he’s a strong guy that can beat Naraku’ to ‘I think I kinda like him’ but it’s a good moment, like maybe it’s better paced in the manga but I do like their dynamic as the only two that really understand each other precisely because both are so guarded. Also like that Sesshomaru just tells Inuyasha that Kagura was at peace when she died instead of like ‘bitch it’s not my job to stop your women from dying’ like he did with Kikyo on Mt. Hakurei.

Castlevania: Now that all of the preamble with Dracula is out of the way, we get to our hero…ish guy, Trevor Belmont, who introduces himself as the best fighter in the world while getting his shit kicked in by a bunch of drunken nobodies and still somehow coming out on top. He makes his way around getting scraps of food and talking to marketplace people D&D vagrant style, it’s kinda funny how this kind of conveys how people in video games walk around talking to people to see what the plot is better than the Shenmue anime which is like they actually animated the video game. But yeah in classic anime hero fashion they find someone being picked on by assholes and proceed to… gruesomely dismember them, okay that’s not usually how that works but I’ll roll with it. Apparently these dudes are part of a monk-like sect his father knew and they’re kinda just chill dudes but the Church is like ‘motherfuckers the peace monks did this shit’ when Dracula comes despite the fact the church literally did this shit. And these guys are just hanging around being persecuted out of the goodness of their hearts and also because the elder’s grandkid is down looking for the Jesus-like soldier guy that’s supposed to come stop Dracula-type shit from happening, so minor conflict of interest but being the pragmatic-type hero Trevor is he just wants the peace monks to get the fuck out of dodge so that they’re still around to save anyone that’s left to be saved once everything inevitably goes to shit because if the hordes don’t get them, something more dangerous will: Catholics.

Jujutsu Kaisen: So yeah as expected, Megudad wasn’t Edo Tensei’d just to fight Ino and then go back, turns out he’s pulling a Madara and reversing the revival and taking control of it himself because the series is really having fun with the ‘the body is the soul’ thing which basically means whatever the plot wants it to mean but they literally said a few episodes ago that it will mean whatever the plot wants it to mean so I can’t really blame them. The next most pressing issue is hand-holding guy is going around killing all the Middle Managers and he’s finally reached the two we know, Kento manages to save Ijichi and Nobara is protecting the blonde lady but hand-hold guy manages to get a blow to her jaw which I feel like ‘a blow to the jaw rattles the brain and temporarily paralyzes you’ is fiction’s new favorite fun fact about fighting because I’m seeing that around a lot lately. Shame because I feel like this guy vs Nobara would be a pretty evenly matched fight but Kento comes in and demolishes him for murdering all the mook Middle Managers. Sadly he’s not dead and as things get worse in this arc I feel like not double-tapping all the random bad guys is gonna come to bite someone in the ass but everyone’s safe for now. I don’t know how to feel about Nobara’s part in this fight because she always seems to get the ‘not now, the big boys are playing’ moments and the only reason she’s not dead is because hand holding guy is a fucking moron but the only reason she was even in trouble was because he got ridiculously lucky so idk I guess coincidences cancel each other out. Also Yuji’s come face to face with Blood Man who’s pissed his less humanoid brothers got murdered by Yuji and Nobara so that’ll be something to deal with next time. Also Mei Mei’s fighting Smallpox or something idk.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End: Before I begin with this episode I gotta say this is like the chilliest anime in the world like the pace is so slow and no one talks above a light tone and I think it’s an interesting way to portray the way Frieren views a slow and quietly changing world where milestones aren’t large but simply pass by one by one. Frieren is continuing to train Fern to shoot her rock and passes by several years with Heiter, enjoying an amount of time with him that she didn’t get with Himmel even if it is short and near the end of his life. Fern expresses that she wants to be fully trained by the time Heiter dies so he doesn’t have to worry about her and he can go knowing his decision to save and take care of her wasn’t in vain. It’s funny because we get to see both sides of this as Heiter’s doing this as a final act of goodwill in Himmel’s spirit. Turns out the ominous grimmoire had absolutely nothing in it as expected but unexpectedly Heiter knew that and was using it as a stalling tactic to get Frieren to train Fern to the point where Fern can join her on her journey without being a hinderance, like I feel like once Frieren got like 90% of the way through translating the grimmoire and there was no immortality she was probably safe in the assumption they weren’t gonna sneak it in on the last page but it is a cute little flip on that. Heiter tells Frieren to take Fern and go so she doesn’t have to watch him die but Frieren says fuck that shit she’s done missing out on time with people she cares about and having improper farewells on their deaths so she stays until the bitter end. Frieren and Fern then set off to… not really do much of anything honestly, Frieren seems like the kind of person that would get all the Korok seeds in Breath of the Wild you know, she’s a completionist and wants to get every kind of spell she can which is interesting because it seems magic in this world is made through a combination of fundamentals and culture so you can almost homebrew magic like messing with the source code of the mana which actually sounds really neat if that’s how it works and she can just get spells and make new ones no matter how small and simple some are. One day they come across a statue of Himmel and fix it up and Fern wants to create a spell to summon his favorite flowers from his hometown but no one’s seen it in years, so they fucking search for six months for this fucking flower which probably ranks up there as one of the most tedious sidequests of all time. Now the conflict here is kind of interesting since Frieren is now traveling with Fern she can’t just dump a decade into finding one thing for a side project she’s been working on, but also Fern has to come to understand Frieren as well and why she does things the way she does. There’s no explosion of frustration or anything they just legit quietly talk and end up figuring out a way to find the flower once all is laid bare and that’s kinda neat and it also means Fern has the patience of a fucking saint because most people would be done with this shit by now, Frieren also never really gets mad about it despite that wound likely being very fresh and her getting a little obsessive about doing something for Himmel and being a perfectionist about it HAVING to be this particular flower, I could see an alternate drama-filled version of this episode in a different writing style. The note we end on is also really nice with Frieren nothing that Fern and her both got into magic not really for any grand reason but because for a combination of enjoying it and it connecting them to people they care about, it was the choice they made, sort of reminds me of the ending of Soul, it’s more pleasure driven than purpose driven since this seems to be a show about making your own meaning out of life.

Vinland Saga: So Canute sends his rudest men to go tell Olmar to fuck off so he can kill one in a rigged fight and they can arrest the lot of them. Funny thing is Olmar STILL almost loses the rigged fight and then Thorgil gives him a pep talk to complete the rigging and then murders the rest of them which kinda ruins the plan because Thorgil’s a fucking sociopath and murders all of Canute’s guards rather than go to jail which idk why they didn’t have that stone throwing guy give Thorgil some wounds while he was murdering everyone like the guy’s basically Bullseye from Daredevil and he let the situation get completely out of hand. It’s funny how Thorgil’s like ‘yeah we murdered five to ten people but we had no choice, they were talkin’ shit’ and like really puts a fine point on how stupid this whole culture is and why Canute’s trying to change it. Also Olmar does not seem to be doing well with the reality of being a murderer even though it was almost an accident, like kid’s a little screwed up but he’s not a sociopath like his brother. Either way the three of them get away on Leif’s ship so Leif can go see Thorfinn and Canute is ready to bring war to Ketil’s farm.

lunar rainbow 🌈🌕

Not sure if anyone remembers the episode in Inuyasha where the lunar rainbow was mentioned and everyone could see it besides Inuyasha. Well I was thinking maybe Inuyasha couldn’t see it was because he had little to no purpose in his life and view life at its fullest because of his tragic past and everything that happened with Kikyo he denounced love and cursed it. But now that Harumi is in his life he‘s found meaning and love in life and has different views on life because he met Harumi and shares a life with her. Harumi having a beautiful and gentle soul changed him for the better.💕🥰

✨This fan art is not for use in a ship competition as to prove which one is best. So please mind your preferred ship in peace as I’ll do the same. Kindly disregard if you don’t approve or made you uncomfortable.✨

Inukaggers always like to complain how Kikyo takes out her jealousy on Kagome and is ungrateful to her… Motherfucker WHERE?! Methinks this is just projection because from where I’m standing it’s KAGOME who’s always been the jealous one meanwhile Kikyo’s out here just minding her own business while Kagome is always seething about her.

It's a projection. Kagome can't have any flaws, everything is rewritten to Kikyou to do the worst .How pathetic. Sometimes I feel like there's a different manga and anime with the same title. Their bitching and whining is pathetic.

They complain all the time, all the time! both the manga and the anime ended many years ago. inukag is endgame and they keep complaining and they can't shut up about Kikyou/InuKik.

I expected nothing less from them and honestly, I think it's time to start debunking their lies.

They are more obsessed with Kikyou/InuKik antis than her fans.

they really can't move on and enjoy their own ship.

The funny thing is that if you prove that Kagome is behaves this way, they will say that she 'was right because he hurts her', it's as if they were contradicting themselves too.

I will say that I agree with you on everything, it really doesn't surprise me in any way, many, many years they have been repeating it like that to prove that Kagome's love for Inuyasha has always been pure and selfless.

they have canon and it's not enough…they still salty and mad wtf

Hey Cynthia! This is kind of an ask but mainly a rant because I find this INCREDIBLY annoying, because it's clear these people don't understand the story AT ALL.

I don't think all KogKag shippers are annoying, but I'm surprised that there are so many fans who say that Kagome should've ended up with Koga because Inuyasha was aLWaYS going after Kikyo or that Koga would've TrEAtED her better. I feel like people who say this are just self-inserting onto Kagome. Reason number one: KogKag has little to no substance in canon, with her just humoring him every time he flirts with her. Number two: if they were paying attention, they would know WHY and WHEN Inuyasha went after Kikyo and that for him, there was only Kagome.

TLDR; Do you think people who say "Kagome should've chosen Koga because Inuyasha bad" are self-inserting? I know the anime changes are a huge factor, is that why people say this? I like your analyses so I'd like to know what you think.

Hello! First of all thank you for the love 🥺

(I know I have mutuals & followers who love Koga & Kogkag so warning: this post is very critical of both!)

I’m going to start off by saying “self-inserting” exists in a lot of ships. There’s plenty of people who love Inuyasha and self-insert into Kagome with inukag. That’s not something I have a big issue with, we all have our favorite characters and there’s nothing wrong with self-indulgence. But if we analyze the canon story, I think you definitely need make Kagome OOC in order to ship her Koga. I mean, if canon!Kagome had any interest in him she wouldn't have wasted her time with Inuyasha, lol. I've said this before but the main reason why Kagome loves Inuyasha and not men like Koga and Sesshomaru is because Inuyasha has a good heart. He might have a harsh personality (that he is improving) due to his past trauma but he has never killed & eaten innocent people the way the other two did.

Also, the racism. Kagome's defining personality trait is that she is open and welcoming with everyone. Why would she date Koga who calls people slurs unprovoked? Why would she date Sesshomaru who bullied his half-brother for being mixed? Sure these two somewhat improved their behavior over the course of the series but 1- There's no indication that Koga and his wolves changed their diet. Koga never showed any remorse for his actions and never said he wouldn't do it again. 2- Sesshomaru tolerates/respects a few people by the end of the series but he very much still sees human life as expendable (see his “Who cares?” line when he hears his action could kill everyone in Kaede’s village). That is simply not compatible with Kagome Higurashi.

The second anon brought up some good points about the misogyny in the fandom, and how male characters like Koga are praised while Kikyo is villainized for less. I constantly see Koga fans criticizing Inuyasha for “being nice to Kikyo despite what she’s done to Kagome” yet these people seemingly have no problems with Kagome being nice to Koga despite what he has done to Inuyasha. I think both Koga and Kikyo have poorly written “redemption arcs”, I think the inukag fandom just talk more about Kikyo/Inukik because Inuyasha did have feelings for Kikyo while Kagome never had any for Koga, so usually it isn’t worth talking about.

As for Koga being "nicer" to her, I think a lot of it is definitely anime-only. There's that one filler episode where Inuyasha insults Kagome and Koga brings her flowers later (if I remember correctly) which is obviously meant to make Koga look like the better choice. I’ve talked about this a LOT on my blog but Sunrise went out of their way to make sure Inuyasha would almost never be kind and honest with Kagome compared to the manga, and they added a bunch of scenes where he insults her. Honestly with all the things that Sunrise changed I don’t blame anime-only fans for having issues with anime!inukag. Kagome has self-esteem issues because of Inuyasha’s ex (who is her pre-incarnation) and on top of that the boy she loves insults her himself? I know a lot of inukag shippers just see it as a joke, but since Kagome’s self-worth is a real issue in the series I don’t find it particularly funny. But if we’re focusing on the manga, Inuyasha is not mean to her, he’s only rude when he’s angry (calls her ‘bakaa’ or uses ‘temee’).

Also, what does Koga even do for Kagome beyond giving her superficial compliments? He saved her a few times, which is what Inuyasha does on a daily basis. Koga said Kagome is “pretty” and “has guts”, which in my opinion pales in comparison to what Inuyasha said about Kagome:

Inuyasha genuinely KNOWS Kagome. She’s his friend. He spends all his time with her. He has seen the best and worst of her. Koga is just a guy who tries to woo her when he bumps into her once in a while. Inuyasha doesn’t compliment her all the time to score points, he says these things when he can tell Kagome is feeling down and truly needs to hear it.

Koga really is just putting on a front to look good in front of Kagome. The things he says to her are not necessarily true, as Ginta and Hakkaku point out.

If he did manage to win over Kagome, who’s to say he would keep up this act? Would they work out in a long-term relationship? What does Koga and Kagome have in common? Like I said, he barely knows Kagome. Unlike Inuyasha, who share Kagome’s values, and share a group of friends with her. Inuyasha knows Kagome’s world, her modern friends and her family (and they love him!). Inuyasha has a demon slaying business with Miroku and lives in a human village where Kagome can thrive as a miko. Koga rarely shows respect for what Kagome wants (he claimed her as his mate and spent the entire series touching her & calling her his “mutual lover” without her consent). Even when Kagome was crying in Inuyasha’s arms after he almost died, Koga still said he “refused to give up on her”. Like the second anon said, the guy really just can’t take a hint (until the very end), and as someone who dealt with men like this in real life I think it’s a pretty big red flag.

Inuyasha literally said he owes everything he has in his life to Kagome. That he was born for her. He continuously chose to live with her instead of dying with Kikyo, risked his life to protect her by giving her the fire rat robe, ditched Tessaiga to save her, jumped into the well every 3 days ready to abandon his world for her. The fact that some people think he’s not the biggest Kagome simp out there and think he’s not “worthy” of Kagome is insane to me.

Inuyasha learned to give Kagome space when she needs to be alone so she can study. He respects her desire to finish school, respects the fact that she loves her world and didn’t pressure her to choose him over it.

Also people argue that Koga’s redeeming quality is that he cares about his pack and getting revenge for the ones that Naraku killed. Well, funny how he completely gave up on that once he lost his shikon jewel shards uh? Koga is a FULL yokai and he abandoned his vow to avenge his friends as soon as he lost his power boost, meanwhile my boy Inuyasha stays true to his promise to protect Kagome even in his WEAKEST form!

Rip to Koga but Inuyasha is simply built different 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, the last point is Inuyasha and his feelings for Kikyo. At this point I’m convinced some people watched/read a completely different series than I did. I mean, the other day I saw a Tik Tok that was like “When Inuyasha runs off to kiss Kikyo for the 100th time” like... what? Inuyasha initiated like 3 romantic interactions with Kikyo in the entire time he has known her. One hug when she was first revived to calm her down, one hug when he told her she could call him when she’s in danger, and the final kiss goodbye to put her soul at peace. Inuyasha is NOT a “two-timer” who “keeps going back to his ex”. He’s a 15 years old boy whose first love got brutally murdered, he started to move on and fall in love with someone else then his “ex” was revived as a vengeful revenant and guilt tripped him into thinking he should die with her. He cares for her and refused to let her get killed by her murderer again, but his real desire was to LIVE and move on and be with KAGOME. At this point anyone who doesn’t understand that probably doesn’t have the emotional maturity to understand the story. I’m not saying that Inuyasha handled the situation perfectly, because of course not, the situation is insane and the boy has no social skills from being ostracized his whole life, but the way some people think he’s a bad person for loving more than one person in his life is insane to me. And you know what sucks? Inuyasha can’t win. If he didn’t care about what happens to Kikyo because he has a new girlfriend, people would call him heartless and would criticize him for treating women like objects that can easily be replaced. And that is one of the main reasons why comparing Inuyasha to other men like Koga, Sesshomaru or even Hojo annoys me a lot: Inuyasha did NOT choose to be in the situation he’s in. He did not intend to be with both at the same time (the anime line “why can’t have a both” is NOT canon).

I think one other issue is people projecting their personal romantic fantasies on the situation. So many people dream of being someone’s “one and only”, of having their partner tell them that they’ve “never felt like this before”, and the fact that Kagome is not the only women Inuyasha ever loved somehow makes his feelings for her less “pure” or less “intense” to them. Which never made any sense to me because 1- Why would you be less “pure” for loving many people in your life? The fact that Inuyasha fell in love & stayed with Kagome despite the fact that his “ex” was revived and wanted him should actually be proof of how much he loves Kagome 2- Kagome IS Inuyasha’s “first” in SO many ways! The first person to make him happy, the first to cry for him and to make him cry, the first to give him a home, the first person he will be intimate with, the first (and only) person he MARRIES. His past feelings for Kikyo does not take away from that. I think the worst is when people argue that Inuyasha “still thinks about Kikyo after her death” like yeah, he’s still fighting Kikyo’s murderer until the last chapter/episode and his guilt got progressively worse as he repeatedly failed to protect Kikyo, remembering her does not mean he’s still in love with her. He can’t exactly wipe out his memories. Some people even argue that he ”shows sign that he loves her” in the bonus epilogue chapter?? Never mind the fact that the epilogue chapter just kind of sucks, Inuyasha didn’t have any reaction when Kikyo was mentioned, he said he didn’t care and he was only worried that Kikyo being mentioned would hurt Kagome’s feelings.

When both Kagome and Kikyo were gone from his life, who did he miss? Did he go to Kikyo’s grave every 3 days wishing she hadn’t died? Did Inuyasha ever think about using the shikon jewel or Tenseiga to bring her back properly so he could be with her? No he never did, because Kagome is the one he was born for and the one he wanted to spend his life with, not Kikyo.

Tl;dr: From what I’ve seen the popularity of kogkag seems to be from people who just like Koga better than Inuyasha and are willing to ignore (or they don’t remember) all the atrocities he committed because they find him hotter and more “charming”, which is fine to me until people actually claim that Kagome should have been with Koga in canon. People who say that are usually just mad about the love triangle because 1- they only watched the anime and haven’t read the manga (and they also misremember the anime) 2- they idealize this idea of being someone’s “first and only love” and they think Inuyasha’s feelings for Kikyo “tarnish” that and 3- they usually lack the emotional maturity to understand the situation Inuyasha was forced in and don’t realize that Inuyasha did the best he could. Inuyasha is a hanyo who was alone all his life and is just starting to open up and trust others while Koga is a full yokai who never had to struggle in his life, and despite that Inuyasha consistently proved that he is a better person. Just because Koga is loud and straight forward with his advances doesn’t make him more loving than Inuyasha, who actually knows Kagome and is romantic and kind to her when it matters the most.

#ask #Anon #koga-critical #kogkag-critical #wow that sure is an essay lmao #sesshomaru-critical #sesskag-critical #i didn't know i had so many things to say about the topic lmao #i don't even hate koga or kogkag but when shippers have to drag inukag/kagome/inuyasha to talk about their faves...#it definitely makes me bitter #especially when what they say is just so incredibly wrong

The yashamine manga is still going on 😭😭😭. I honestly thought it was finished. This is when you know yashamine killed the inuyasha fandom because it’s been so dead. Like even the tweets for yashamine barley get 2k likes. Even went on rumiko Twitter and the likes for anything yashamine related are so low. Actually most of her tweets have low likes. And I think the kagura post is her only recent post that had huge engagements. The only ones who are still invested are sinners and maybe some inukags who just want to see inuyasha and kagome.

Sadly, it has not finished but it's mostly due because it's a monthly manga. Those take a loooong to finish depending on plot but from I saw with the peak I decided to take, it looks like we reached the part where Zero disguises herself as a ordinary woman to torture Towa. Though, in this case she takes the form of Towa from RT's Mermaid Saga. Which is kinda strange since Rumiko never did big Easter eggs like that in her own mangas last I checked (the studios that adapted her works did though in the animes). More evidence that is a "fanservice work", I say. It's Shiina's version and interpretation of how Yashahime went down after all. He said so himself. Sumisawa is cooperating with him in the script and Rumiko is just credited as main character designer. I'll be honest though, I haven't seen this manga in any ranking and not even in the lower ones. So I don't expect it to last years.

And when it's finally done. It will probably go into obscurity.

What really bothers though is how much damage this "fanfic" has caused to the brand and it's fandom. It's like when Trump started racing for president and suddenly you got all these bigots coming out of the sewers, the rest is history.

The situation is similar. Most people have just gone and it's all thanks to how awful said fic was. For people like me, Inuyasha was or is literally their go to comfort show. To have that stained and twisted—it was like a mental break. And for most people that damage was irreversible and unforgivable (no going back) and between that and the horrible harassment of pro-hny fans even for things as people just not being into the story...

It was a done deal.

They left.

Because things don't feel the same no more. Some got over it but others even closed their accounts, not even saying goodbye to friends. Complete MIA. All that's left is some good people and ya know the rest.

The RT Kagura twitter post getting so many likes is evidence of what people really prefer. The actual general fandom. I think People wanted Takahashi to know that in some way and they took it. And not just that, the recent Inuyasha or official Japanese anime polls say it all too. The little girl doesn't even reach top...

Like just recently in the Japanese anime characters of all time the only Inuyasha characters that made it were just Sesshomaru and Kikyo. I was surprised that Inukag didn't get a spot this time 🤷🏻‍♀️

On the brightside Shiina has stated once again that "this is his interpretation" to summarize while talking about this chapter on his personal blog.

Just remember "it's a fanfic of a fanfic", don't give it ratio, let it fade into obscurity and support Inuyasha content characters who actually care about the og work. This fandom needs it and you'll be so much better. Trust me.

Some of my fave anime ships

No one asked but I'ma share some of my favorite anime ships. I have't watched every anime or anything but I have some that I just can't give up. I've never been the hugest shipper but there are some that just find their way into my heart.

Nalu (Natsu x Lucy: Fairy Tail)- currently rewatching so they're fresh in my mind. They have such a good friendship and they're so loyal to each other. Natsu is also incredibly sweet when he wants to be when it comes to her and she trusts him without hesitation. She jumped out of a window and knew he would catch her in time. Like... what??

Edward and Winry (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood)- this is my favorite anime and I will rewatch it but I love that they've been friends since they were kids. They may not have liked each other from the beginning (romantically) but grew into it. The fact that she was his mechanic and he didn't let anyone else fit him for automail, or let anyone work on it... not to mention, I loved their arguments lol and I loved the scene where he tells her basically he loves her in his own way lol. "Equivalent exchange! I'll give you HALF of me if you give me HALF of you!"

NejiTen (Neji x TenTen: Naruto)- Obviously this won't really be a thing since Neji is dead 😭 but I feel like if he wasn't killed, they would have been together. Tenten was the only one Neji seemed to fully respect and trust on his team. They understood each other and I feel like he might have been open about his family with her. I also feel like because Tenten was an orphan and lived on her own, that she felt comfortable around Neji. Plus, Guy and Lee were so over the top that they had to lean on each other.

Inuyasha x Kagome (Inuyasha)- So I know these two get a lot of flack and I think the road to their romance was complicated but I really and truly believe that Inuyasha loves her. Sure, he might have had a hard time in the beginning because of Kikyo but if he didn't care about Kagome he wouldn't have tried to save her as much as he did. Plus, she was always to break him out of his demon spells. I love them lol. I was never a huge Koga fan so I would never support that ship lol. I'm not caught up with Yashahime so don't spoil me!

Atem x Tea (YuGiOh)- So this is an old old ship from when I was young but I always thought that while Yugi was one of Tea's best friends, she liked Atem/Yami Yugi. I really felt like they flirted lol. I rewatched it not too long ago and still stand by that lol. She was always super emotional when it came to stuff with him lol. She was emotional period but super emotional lol.

Senku x Kohaku (Dr. Stone)- I'm not caught up on the manga so no spoilers but I really love the anime and I'm down for this. Now, if it doesn't happen, I'm cool with that because they both seem so... uninterested in romance but they have a trust between them and I think she definitely likes him as of S2. He's so narrow minded on what he's trying to do that he won't notice his feelings for her and hers for him for a while but when he does, I think he'll do everything he can to ignore it. I think that tracks for him.

Kirito x Asuna (SAO)- Obviously they're together and nothing will come between them lol. I'm watching the current season of Alicitization and when Asuna and Alice kind of got into it over him lol had me cracking up. Kirito also has a harem but Asuna is the only one he actually has eyes for... though if it wasn't for her, I think Sinon would have a chance lol. But I love their relationship. They love each other so much that they will literally move heaven and hell to find each other... love them.

Marinette x Adrien (Miraculous Ladybug)- Not quite an anime... I want them to get their shit together honestly. I love this show lol. Their romance square is hilarious but this is what I want. I want the tables to switch, where Ladybug starts to look at Cat Noir differently, as well as her to apologize for how she treats him. Cat Noir deserves much better than what he is given. But also, I think the superior part of their square is Marinette x Cat Noir, since this is the only part of the square where their feelings don't get in the way lol.

That's all I got at this moment lol

Love your edits and overall page 💘 What other ships do you enjoy outside of Nashuri/Namuri, if you care to share?

Hey 🧡 Thank you for the love, I have fun making them! Lowkey bummed my posts aren’t posting to tags anymore but alas. With the recent "what ships piss you off + what ships do you love" trend going around Twitter, I was just thinking about mine the other day and realized most of them have some sort of angst to them 😅 Outside of NAMOR X SHURI, here are some of my other fave ships over the years [in no particular order] Let’s get into it *cracks knuckles*

- - - - - - - - < + > - - - - - - - -

A. SAM X BUCKY: "Can you move your seat up?" "No."

I have to say that this ^ line reeled me in but what sealed my fate was the offscreen friendship between Antony Mackie and Sebastian Stan. Those damn compilation vids on yt killed me; they are too funny together. I genuinely feel like they aren't even acting when they work together. You can see their friendship shine through, and I think that's why Marvel realized they needed to do something with this goldmine. In regards of the characters Sam and Bucky tho, I enjoy both a romantic or platonic love between them. There's a strong connection there either way full of support, transparency, shared pain etc and these two losers have my heart. Also, I will never get over that scene in Endgame when Steve speaks with Sam and before accepting the shield, Sam looks over at Bucky and Bucky nods in support *ugly cries*

Show: The Falcon & The Winter Soldier

B. FLEABAG X PRIEST: "I love you." "It will pass."

This ship is definitely one of those ships that devastated me 🥴 Their awkward and yet endearing connection was everything. Fleabag’s dry humor and wit just jelled so well with the Priest in such an unassuming and comforting way. She truly found her match, which made the whole thing that much more tragic. The parts where he broke the fourth wall with the audience and questioned who she was talking to took me out lmao. I was heartbroken with how the show ended but in the midst of everything, it felt fitting. I don’t think they should have done it any different. I also find it funny that we never learn Fleabag or the Priest’s actual names.

Show: Fleabag

C. INUYASHA X KAGOME: "Sit boy!"

These two are one of my first ships when I was young so the nostalgia hits hard with them. As an adult looking back tho, Inuyasha and Kagome’s relationship pissed me off the majority of the show rofl. His back and forth with Kikyo was SO unnecessary. They were so aggravating at times that at one point it was a toss up between Inuyasha and Koga for me. Koga was looking like the better man for Kagome. He meant business and knew where his priorities were. But in the midst of it all, Inuyasha and Kagome’s bond just did something for me. I remember younger me freaking out every time Inuyasha lost his shit and went full demon mode when Kagome was in any eminent danger. I was like “that’s love right there” lmao smh. Also the fact that they kissed like one time [twice??] during the entire show was so *screams into void*

Show: Inuyasha

D. LO'AK X TSIREYA: "Outcast - that's all they see!" "I see you."

Shout out to my fellow Avatar fans out there ✌🏾 I remember when the first movie came out, I freaked out and wanted a banshee SO BAD bruh lol. With the second installment and it’s new batch of dope characters, there’s so much to talk about [especially with these two]. They are basically a mirror of Jake × Neytiri, but in a different font? I love how attentive Tsireya is with Lo’ak and how much she looks out for him and his siblings. She was the first person to truly embrace and see him for him. Their love lanquage is clearly physical contact and it's too adorable. I look forward to seeing how their dynamic/ relationship evolves over future films to come. My blue babes 💙

Movie: Avatar - The Way of Water

E. STEVEN / MARC X LAYLA: "I don't need protection. What I need is honesty."

First of all, this show was sick on so many levels! You’re telling me we got to have a Guatemalan-American actor and Egyptian-Palestinian actress play mcu characters in a show revolving around Egyptian gods and legends sprinkling in themes of mental health and family?? To say I can’t wait for the second season is an understatement, but I digress. I loved Oscar and May together on screen. It was funny seeing Steven and Marc go back and forth over their dynamic with Layla and then Layla grappling with the multifaceted differences of the man [men?] she loved. I enjoyed all of the action sequences but I hope we get to see more of their complicated relationship explored in the future. It’s just so fascinating to me. I will never get over Steven kissing Layla for the first time and Marc absolutely losing it lmao.

Show: Moon Knight

F. AMY X DANNY: "Why is it so hard for us to be happy?"

Now before y’all hop on my dick for posting about this show [in the midst of recent controversy w/ David Choe, which f*ck that guy btw🖕🏾] I watched this BEFORE Choe’s shit came to light. I can’t tell you what to do. You have to personally make that judgment call of whether or not you want to support/watch the show yourself. Anywho *fixes clothes* This show is insane. It's hilarious, tragic, relatable, the whole nines. There’s so much to it but these two specifically take the cake for me. Amy and Danny's relationship take a minute to come into fruition but by the time I got to the end, I was hooked. I also just need Ali and Steven to do another project together because their a quirky pair, but their a pair I didn't know I needed until now. It was beautiful to see how despite all of their strife, Amy and Danny truly saw one another’s souls. They were reflections of one another. That entire tripping sequence in the desert the last ep was funny af but beyond deep.

Show: Beef

G. DRUIG X MAKKARI: "My beautiful, beautiful Makkari. Did you miss me?"

I'm going to be real with y’all, Druig and Makkari were the one good thing that came out of Eternals for me [aside from Kingo and Phastos' roles]. I don’t know what it was but I couldn't get into the movie for some reason and what threw me was the fact that I thought I would. They only had like 2 seconds on screen but they were the only thing I could think of walking out that theater. I swear I couldn't get over their charming dynamic. That scene where Makarri thought Druig was killed and starts going ape shit on Ikarus was peak cinema. No one harms her man! It was also such a dope moment to learn later on that the actress who plays Makarri, Lauren Ridloff, is deaf in real life. I bow down to that Queen. These two characters are just *chefs kiss* and I really hope Marvel doesn't mess up a good thing and we get to see their relationship blossom over time in a beautiful way. This Druig ^ line KILLED me. Me and who when?

Movie: Eternals

H. ZUKO X KATARA: "You rise with the moon. I rise with the sun."

Yes Aang x Katara are cute but Zutara? ZUTARA?? *violently bangs credit card on table* It was full of angst, grief, healing, sexual tension, the list goes on. They could relate to one another’s pain with losing a parent and so on. Zuko helping her find and confront her mother’s killer was everything too. Of course she had every right to be pissed at him and the fire nation but it was nice seeing Zuko work to gain Katara’s trust over time. He caused so much pain and damage to the avatar crew so for him to come back and try and rectify things was monumental. This is also one of those shows growing up that had me in a chokehold. I couldn’t decide what element I wanted to bend because all benders were so badass to me [my girl Toph was the mvp tho. Hands down the coolest].

Show: Avatar - The Last Airbender

I. RAGNAR X LAGERTHA: "We shall meet again and fight, and drink, and love one another."

Where are my fellow Viking fans? ⚔️ This show was INCREDIBLE and their love story specifically was so layered and complicated. Lagertha was the epitome of loyal but I love that outside of her dynamic with Ragnar, she was just such a dope character overall. She really held her own and took no shit from anyone, man or woman. Her hands were rated E for everyone. Their love had its huge ups and downs but you could tell after everything, there was still a deep affection there. They would do anything for one another and that was apparent every step of the way. Even after Ragnar’s death, Lagertha still kept the love she held for him in her heart. His dynamic with each character on the show was intriguing but nothing beats their powerful connection. She was one of the few people who got to see all of the real and raw sides of him and that was beautiful. The show was never the same once Ragnar’s character died [which I still don’t understand this monumental writing decision??] but it was amazing nonetheless.

Show: Vikings

J. LOUIS X LESTAT: "I wanted to forget him, and yet it seemed I thought of him always."

I didn’t watch the first iteration of this novel so I was completely new going into the show. I heard about it way after it came out but it did not disappoint. It lived up to the hype 100%. Louis, Lestat and Claudia were such a disastrous trio but I loved the little family they created [before things went south rofl]. Louis and Lestat’s story was intriguing and I was engaged from start to finish. I swear that moment when the reporter Daniel put two and two together that Louis gave Lestat an out, I yelled at my screen lol. Their love was intense to say the least and although certain moments were hard to watch, these two were electric. With that, it was so suspenseful watching Louis and Claudia ban together towards the end and scheme against Lestat to gain their freedom. The whole thing was just so *sighs* *refrains from writing a novel*

Show: Interview with the Vampire

K. BRAEDEN X DEREK: "I’m protecting my investment."

I know a lot of people shipped him and Stiles together [I mostly enjoyed their entertaining dynamic in a platonic way] but Derek and Braeden did something for me. They fought bad guys while being domestic together and younger me ate that shit up lol. Also seeing a black woman be in a type of role and show like this was also 1000/10. More black women in fantastical roles please 🙏🏾 I feel like this was the first healthy romantic relationship Derek was in too and it just had good vibes all around. He truly learned to trust a lover again. The beginning of their relationship was also hot af and that initial “anything you can do, I can do better” cat and mouse back and forth was *chefs kiss* That scene where she was teaching him how to use a gun >>>>> The reboot of Teen Wolf was not my cup of tea + I was bummed we didn’t get to see future Draeden [or their future kids??] but alas. We always have S3-S5 to look back on.

Show: Teen Wolf

L. WOO X JUN-HO: "What if you think of it as dancing the waltz?"

They are for sure one of my favorite ships. Woo and Jun-Ho need to be protected at all costs 🫶🏾 I don’t even know where to start with these two or this show. If you haven’t watched it yet, please go watch it. It’s on my top kdrama list for sure. Being close to people in my life with Autism, it was heartwarming to see how Jun-ho treated Woo. He treated her like a human being. He was loving, empathetic, patient, kind. All of the ways you should be with others in general, no matter how different or similar they are to you. It was fascinating seeing how the show tackled the subject of relationships that involve differing mental conditions and capabilities. The show was such a slow burn with them that when they had their first kiss I LOST it. I was giggling, screaming and kicking my feet in real time lmao. I’m conflicted bc I want to see a S2 but I also want it to stay the way it is. I don’t know how they would continue everyone’s story but if they resume it, I will be SAT.

Show: Extraordinary Attorney Woo

- - - - - - - - < + > - - - - - - - -

I'm realizing a big trope I cling to is "Enemies to lovers". I don’t know what it is about it but it just eats each and every time. It has a certain je ne sais quoi 🤌🏾✨There are a BUNCH of other ships l love but I'll cap it here before this post becomes a whole novel.

THANK YOU < 3

#i want someone to psychoanalyse me off of this shortlist rofl #Nashuri fandom what are your other ships?#the falcon and the winter soldier #avatar the way of water #interview with the vampire #beef netflix #teen wolf #fleabag #avatar the last airbender #moon knight #eternals #attorney woo #inyuasha #these are definitely my more tame ships 🫣#it’s the way that inuyasha had younger me in a chokehold #we just got a letter #i really had to sit and remember some of these #anyone else hyperfixate on one ship at a time bc I can’t do multiple at once
