#Moroha is the best

[jakotsuto]

You know, listen— here’s my thing about s/ssrin. I’ve been thinking about this for years, even before trashahime.

You can argue he didn’t raise her, that demons age different, etc. But what you cannot argue is that it has any basis or evidence or shipping fuel in the canon material that doesn’t consist of a child and an adult interacting.

You cannot argue you’re shipping the adult Rin with Sesshomaru if you use images and clips from the Inuyasha anime/manga for edits of them, or if you use fan-art of child Rin and Sesshomaru romantically.

For example, I lost all respect for Liz Robinett when I saw her cover of Four Seasons use this image. Because she was shipping “adult Rin” with Sesshomaru, and yet,

That is not an adult Rin.

This scene, which I’m pretty sure I’ve seen used in ship edits, is of a child Rin.

Essentially, the entirety of the ship consists of taking interactions between a child and an adult, and viewing them in a romantic sense. In the sense that it’s “inevitable” for them to end up together. That this man she spent a considerable time with travelling with as a child is supposed to marry her someday???

Everything else aside, any “basis” for shipping S/ssrin in canon depends entirely on the relationship between an adult and a child being read romantically.

Inuyasha holding babies:

Sesshomaru holding babies:

He holds her like someone would to a litterbag. He had no problem holding Rin when she was a child, yet he can't do the same for his own daughters.

The memes are basically writing themselves:

Edit: an SR come under this post to 'own' me:

Even a freakin' real dog shows more care to his pup than the dead eye syndromed of a deadbeat husband.

[creative-hanyou-girl]

OMG LOOK WHAT SOMEONE POSTED ON TWITTER/X!!!!!!!!!

I still flat-out refuse to read the YH manga, but I'm so grateful that there are fans who screenshot all the good InuKag/Moroha content. Moroha and her Grandma bonding gives me life!!!!!❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭

In my personal canon, the well does stay open after Kagome's return. Or maybe it opens after they use magic or something idk.

I kind of like the idea of Moroha attending modern day school, returning to the shrine to spend a few hours w/ Kagome's family, then having InuKag come by to pick her up & returning home to the feudal era by the end of the day.

THIS INUKAG INTERMISSION CLIP RIGHT HERE WOW WOW WOW

[demi-pixellated]

oh, just some young ladies y'know, from a certain feudal fairy tale

[avionvadion]

If I did the math wrong in any way, I am going to slaughter something. Probably myself.

Sesshomaru/Irene: Sora, Hikaru and Akane, Airi, and Towa and Shion

Inuyasha/Kagome: Itsuki and Moroha

Miroku/Sango have way more kids than what I drew here, but the ones I did draw are: Hisui and Gyokuto.

Sesshomaru is very blue in the manga so I made him blue here. :3

Update: Changed Sess' outfit.

Shion is very much the most no-nonsense of the group, and is the cousin that drives Itsuki the least crazy. Hikaru, on the other hand, is the wildest cousin, and often gets into a bunch of chaos alongside Moroha, so Itsuki frequently gets headaches and has to ask Sora to go save the duo before they get themselves killed. Akane spends most of her time in Kururugi Village, living there as a priestess, but that doesn't stop Moroha from trying to take her out to explore and being protective of her.

Irene being close friends with Sango, their kids naturally grew up alongside one another, so everyone is pretty friendly with Hisui, Gyokuto, Kin'u, and their various unnamed siblings. Hisui has a crush on Sora while Gyokuto is constantly flirting with Hikaru, to the half-demon's embarrassment because he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Towa and Airi basically grow up in modern day Japan. Towa flirts with Hojo/Ayumi's daughter.

I think Towa and Airi are already 14 and 16 in 2018??? Or maybe a year or two younger??? So Irene and Maria would meet them when they go to Japan to try the Bone Eater's Well to get back to the Feudal Era??? But my brain doesn't understand numbers and I've been jumping between numbers so freaking confused.

Are Towa/Shion/Moroha 14 in 2018 or 2020 I don’t knoooow. I'm going with 2018.

[fangandbow]

I can’t help thinking about how now that they are all free, Inuyasha and Kagome are absolutely going to have another kid. Hell, the only reason they don’t already is because the Border of the Afterlife probably prevents that sort of thing. (I mean, you know they were fucking in there. What else is there to do.)

They are both still young, especially with the slowed aging, and both have so much love to give and desire so strongly to be able to raise their children (as they should have been able to do with Moroha). Which also opens up the question of how they all would feel about that situation - would Moroha be jealous that the new child gets to grow up with their parents, unlike her? Would she carry any buried resentment? (I don’t think she would actively resent them - it’s not in her, and it’s clear she doesn’t blame her parents for their separation. But still, it’s got to be hard to see someone get to have what you had always wanted.)

Would Inuyasha and Kagome’s guilt be compounded? I mean, obviously they would be thrilled to be parents again and to have another chance to raise their child, but of course they would be thinking of their first. Some part of them would always blame themselves for not being able to be with her. It would be an interesting mix of joy and bitterness. Joy for this new chance, and bitterness about the one that was taken from them.

Of course, they’d all work it out. That little family’s got too much love in them not to. And ultimately I know one thing for sure - Moroha would be be the best big sister ever. She’d do anything for that kid.

[feudalmerengue]

I was too bored last night and decided to torture myself watching yashajime.

and i thought: well i hate yashajime too much but i dont even remember half of the stuff that happened so why not revisit it

oh man ... it is actually that bad

under the cut my review of the first 3 eps

The first ep is good. Its the animated epilogue of Inuyasha, and you can tell that was written by Rumiko.

The character interactions are beautiful. All of them act accordantly to all the grow and maturity they had at the end of the series, its never a step back on the character development and i appreciate it. Miroku never touches someone else's butt, Inuyasha and Kagome dont get into a stupid fight and they actually talk abt their problems, and over all you can tell everyone has grown up to this point.

i haven't read the manga version of the epilogue so idk if this actually happened (bc i wouldnt be surprised if Sunrise decided to include this just for drama) but there's a lot of mentions of Kikyo and she feels like a hunting ghost all throughout the ep and i personally dont like that they still involve her even after all the time that has pasted since her death. yes she was one of the most important characters and we wouldnt have Inuyasha without her but cant she just rest in peace?

so this becomes a small problem between Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha feels uncomfortable w the mention of her and is scared that Kagome will get mad at him for getting Kikyo involved on this, Kagome feels that Inuyasha is hiding stuff from her and just wants him to trust her a little more. and i think its more than normal that the whole Kikyo situation still a little taboo between them but i rlly liked that none of them felt insecure abt their relationship bc of this

And our favorite married couple resolves this TALKING. THEY USE WORDS AND COMMUNICATE AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NO YELLING. NO MAKING EACH OTHER FEEL BAD. NO ABUSE OF THE SIT COMMAND (well there is a sit that is just there to check the box but its not even Kagome yelling at him or anything. it feels more like "alright on the script says 'u have to sit Inuyasha at least once in the ep' so lets just get it done")

u can tell that Rumiko cooked in there.

Look at them they were born for each other <3333

And thats it. thats the best yashajime is going to get.

Eps 2 and 3 are just the introduction to the protagonist and introduction to the conflicts??? but its more like a bunch of information they r trying to force down ur throat. the only conflict i actually care abt is wtf happened to their parents

on those two eps they introduce us with 8 different conflicts (yes i counted them) not including all the new characters. IN TWO EPS. I SWEAR TO GOD I DIDNT REMEBER HALF OF THAT AT THE END OF THE EP, I HAD TO GO BACK AND WATCH SOME PARTS AGAIN BC IT WAS TOO MUCH

and i get that this series is going to be way shorter than Inuyasha, therefore they need to introduce everything quicker, but Sunrise that was a little too much.

Honestly i would have preferred that they didnt animate the epilogue if that was going to give them more time to present us the characters.

which leads me to my second point THE FUCKING CHARACTES. there is not a single one of them that i like (not even my baby girl Moroha)

Towa: I have the most problems with her. U are telling me that she is having a hard time in the modern era bc she is a hanyo and she is always getting into fights, fights that she is actively picking on, and she cant use her powers. but those problems (im sorry if this sounds bad) look like nothing to me. She is the one getting in trouble and she decides to get into those fights. its not like Inuyasha where we see him being bullied for doing nothing, just bc he looked and was different. and this is something that also bothers me, i dont see a reason why towa would get bullied theres nothing on her appearance that would indicate she is not human. no ear no nothing different, the white hair will just make her one of the cool kids.

Now her powers, OH MY FUCKING GOD SUNRISE WTF IS WRONG W U

u r telling me that she never had the necessity to actually use her powers and all that she did was jump fences and punch bad guys AND SHE IS ABLE TO CREATE A SWORD OF HER OWN USING HER YOUKAI ENERGY ?!?!?!

yes she is the daughter of the great lord Sesshomaru but NOT EVEN HIM WAS ABLE TO DO THAT UNTIL THE END OF THE SERIES. HE GETS BAKUSAIGA AFTER CENTURIES OF USING HIS POWERS AND TOWA WHO ONLY JUMPED FENCES CAN DO IT. not even Setsuna who has an actual training and does use her powers can do that.

Setsuna: she is just a copy paste of Sesshomaru, she doesnt have her own personality.

Moroha: Sunrise writers asked chat gpt "inuyasha's personality" and they got something like "inmature, impulsive, cocky" and just went w it but up to 100.

Yes Sunrise even though she is covered in red from head to toe i can definitely tell that she is Inuyasha's daughter no need to make her "female Inuyasha". Her entire personality is "more immature and childish Inuyasha", yes Inuyasha was immature and could be childish from time to time BUT NOT LIKE THIS. and not even the argument of " well she is younger and probably Inuyasha was like this when he was her age" can be used bc she is 14 and when Inuyasha was sealed to the tree he was 15. she grew up alone, in the Sengoku period where there was constante wars all the time, and she could even relate to the hanyos AND SHE IS THIS STUPID

Moroha is way better in the fanfics

Mei is insufferable, and u seriously r trying to convince my that Hisui and Kohaku dont know who Moroha and Setsuna r?

the only good things were the music, Kaoru Wada is simply a genius, and the character design which is pretty good.

but thats it. and genuinely tried to not be so harsh on it but its actually as bad as i remember it

also this

what the actual fuck

hate u Sunrise <3

[creative-hanyou-girl]

Oh my good Lord this is adorable!!! I love any Papayasha and Moroha moments!!!! This is the sweetest thing!!!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰

❤️Run to daddy❤️

Inuyasha comes home after he defeated some demons with miroku. And Moroha is overjoyed that daddy is back. 💞💞💞💞

[inukag-archive]

Do you know of any fics with an emphasis on Moroha’s and Kagome’s relationship? I’m looking for some juicy mother-daughter stuff. Thank you so much for your time and help!

Hi anon! We thought this would be an easy one, but after lots of searching, what we found is that most fics with Moroha tend to be centered around Inuyasha's relationship with her, or are more general InuKag parenting fics. The short list below are the few we found that focus specifically on the mother-daughter relationship between Kagome and Moroha.

If you're interested in more general parenting fics that feature both Inuyasha and Kagome, we previously put together lists of InuKag being new parents to Moroha, and InuKag raising Moroha.

Enjoy!

Inuyasha is late coming home from a youkai slaying trip. Moroha worries and Kagome does her best to reassure her.

Canis Pater by @fawn-eyed-girl & @ruddcatha (T)

On a night when Inuyasha is away on an exorcism, neither Moroha nor Kagome can sleep. Kagome takes Moroha outside to look at the stars, where she tells her daughter a very special story...about a hanyō whose act of bravery hangs in the heavens.

A Mother and Daughter's Bond by @misteria247 (T)

Some much needed bonding time between Kagome and her daughter Moroha. Basically the fic of if Yashahime won't give it to me I'll just do it myself.

How did Moroha get her ribbon? by @vikingknight90 (NR)

Inspired by a lovely fanart I had to put this into words. If this isn’t close to how she actually got it, I’ll be rather disappointed with Sunrise, haha.

Like a Burning Fire by UlisaBarbic (T)

With Inuyasha off to discuss with Koga and Ayame what happened with Moroha, Kagome has some much desired private time with her daughter. But they can never really get a true off day, can they? But protectiveness is their family's lifeblood.

Little Peachling by @unlockthelore (G)

On a trip home in twilight's wonder, Kagome tells Moroha she's like a peach, and Moroha disagrees.
