#I also remember reading an oneshot where Kagome was a half bird demon

[shinidamachu]

Remember in Game of Thrones how the hound called Sansa "little bird"? Yeah.

It's insane that we, as a fandom, don't take more advantage of the "Kagome, Kagome, the bird in the cage" thing because Sunrise sure did.

And it's such a nice aesthetic too, like the way it just fits the character perfectly, from her fragility and delicacy to her sunny and adventurous personality.

And there's something so poetic in the symbolism of it all, when you think about her coming of age arc as spreading her wings and flying away from the nest or about the times she felt stuck – wether literally or emotionally – as a caged bird.

I just love it.
