Artist's note: Illustrations of all the members of Inuyasha! Their happiness will always be seen

2

I re-watched Inuyasha this year and was still moved. It felt

both happy and sad, perfect yet regretful. So I wanted to draw a scene where everyone is happy~

I am so happy when I think of my Lady Kikyo having a relaxing time with everyone!| Bisheng #Inuyasha #Kikyo #Kagome #Sesshomaru #illustration #painting #fanfiction #childhood memories #anime Dec 22 Chongqing

Sinners: "when trashahime was announced, a framed print of Rin and $€$$ (and Inuyasha maybe to illustrate family) but this isn't about him) was released to released for a limited time! Stupid Kagura doesn't have any merch of her and $€$$, so they're not canon at all! ".

Let's turn that around and look at Rin merch where she isn't alone:

1 with $€$$, she tries giving him food like in her debut, he doesn't even look at her. It was released in November 2020 to build hype, yet nothing teasing the ship really. And $€$$ doesn't eat the food she gives him, so it's more of having him part of a set that doesn't make much sense for him to be in so his fans will buy from it.

1 also from 2020, the one she admires is... Jaken? As usual, $€$$ is also on his own.

From December 2022, after it flopped. Rin in the closest to a shipping badge in the set along with Kohaku, although Sango and Miroku are a pair telling a story. But compared to her "canon" $€$$ earlier, the two blush slightly and have eye contact.

From the same time, Rin with Jaken again, hiding behind him and while you could put $€$$ in front so he's protecting them, she looks away unless she's protecting jaken pushing him out of the way. But no blush.

But while ½ have color scheme based on the manga, and 2 based on the anime (you can see it at first glance with $€$$'s sleeves being purple instead of red, Sango's armour being floral instead of solid coral pink, and Kohaku's armor having a wavy pattern rather than solid amber color. The copyrights are also to Takahashi herself and Shueisha/ShoPro, while anime merch also is copyright to sunrise although it'll probably move over to Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. So if you want to keep boycotting them, that's how. Yes, these are mostly all based on the manga these days, but not drawn by Takahashi herself. What about merch she has actually drawn the art on herself? Well, recently Meqri started selling Inuyasha merch with panels from the manga itself, and on the long sleeve tees all the main ships are represented. Let's see shall we?

2 of the main ship. I wish the illustration was bigger and the second one another color as I hardly wear yellow (anymore). But the dark grey one is still really cool.

The second is of a ship I don't really like as I hate the guy in it, but for those who like them together I guess it's cute. Kinda reminds me of TheJewker's lewd emote. And drumroll please...

Wait, that isn't Rin, what's going on?! Joking aside, kagusess is canon baby!

For those wanting to see the rest of the badges to make your own comparisons:

It's beautiful 🤩

Gif version of a short SessKik animation I made as practice. This one is so special to me because I so wish I could have seen them together like this in canon. 💕 The video version is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M77FAVjRcEw

Look at this and tell me this isn’t a father protecting his children. You can’t. You could, but you’d be wrong.

THOSE 👏 ARE 👏 HIS 👏 KIDS, YOUR HONOR.

HE IS A PAPA, AND KOHAKU AND RIN ARE HIS BABIES. FATHER BE MOTHERING SO HARD, THE MOTHER’S ADRENALINE BE STRONG IN THIS ONE. HE’S HAD KOHAKU FOR LIKE A DAY AND ALREADY HE ADOPTED HIM.

Ah-Duo and Sesshomaru's mothers giving birth to their literal male clones 🤝🏻

[dogs-over-people]

It only took, I don’t know how long… But I’m finally able to look at Sesshomaru without having a visceral negative reaction where I’m screaming pedo/groomer in my head.

If looks could kill 🗡️

[frothyghosts]

i didnt suuuuuuuper follow the color prompt today but i like how he turned out...

[thequestioning-maiden]

Now with Yashahime behind us, I'm finally starting to separate the real Inuyasha canon from that travesty. I'm watching the episodes again and I'm even able to see Sesshomaru and Rin in a wholesome way again. I can reject the really gross fake Sesshomaru that Sunrise created, and it feels great!

This is all because of the antis, because they kept saying even when things got really bad that it's okay to keep seeing Sesshomaru as Rin's hogosha, and kept providing evidence for why it was obvious that they were never meant to be a couple. Thank you all so much!

And for anyone who is still struggling to look at the original Inuyasha the same way, I want you to know there's hope. I thought it was ruined forever, but I'm recovering my love of the show. It might be possible for you too.

Hi Anon!

Sorry for the late reply, I've tried to stay away from Yashahime stuff, but I'm glad to know that you've been able to separate OG Inuyasha from the what if doujin with a budget that HnY is.

After all, it's unfair that fans of the original work can't enjoy its content just because a money-hungry company came up with a disgusting retcon of such a beautiful story. It's great that we're bringing our favorite characters back and that we don't forget how they were originally.

Who You Look For

“Sesshomaru, what do you look for in a woman... I mean a female?” Kagome corrected herself, even if she was just half-asking. When there was silence to her question she looked up at the demon lord as he walked next to her.

The look he was giving her didn't imbue her with confidence. “Right. Forget I asked, stupid question.”

“This one does not look.”

His answering in itself surprised her, then she thought on the words and rolled her eyes. “Of course. I'm sure that demonesses fall at your feet all the time. No need to look, right?” She shook her head and jogged ahead to walk with Sango.

Sesshomaru blinked in consternation. The miko didn't understand. He need not look any more. He had found the female he wished to court.

Suddenly his half-brother was at his side. “You know, she ain't gonna know unless you say it.”

[la-hannya]

This is so pretty. Happy birthday Mara 🎉

A gift for @maradigma , Happy Birthday!

Playing around with Sesshomaru colors using an older drawing I did. The purple and magenta are based off his manga colorings.

Congratulations to all the winners! Your awards will be ready soon, so please send one of the mods or this blog your preferred email address so we can send them to you!

Please note, the winner ban only applies to the first place winner(s) in each division; second and third place winners will be eligible to be nominated again in the next term.

As this term comes to a close, FeudalConnection will be taking a short hiatus. This time is always spent reviewing the process and seeing what can be revamped for next term.

An immense thank you to everyone who voted on next term's roulette categories!

Roulette Fanfiction Category for Term 3 2024 will be Best Friendship Portrayal. This is defined as: A story that has a primary relationship between two characters that have qualities of trust and intimacy. Revolves around a strong bond and mutual affection.

Roulette Fanart Category for Term 3 2024 will be Best Improved Artist. This is defined as: Two illustrations of the same artwork that showcase the improvement an artist has made. The most recent image of the set should be posted within the last three years, and it must be a redraw of one of the artist's older works.

Roulette Romance Category for Term 3 2024 will be Best MirSan Romance. This will be a category for both Fanart and Fanfiction.

For Fanfiction, it will be defined as: Stories that have developed a believable romance between Miroku and Sango. "Believable" is subjective, and it is up to those nominating/voting to draw their own line on that quantifier and vote their "Best". This includes canon universe and AU/AR settings.

For Fanart, it will be defined as: Any romantic depiction of Miroku and Sango.

Due to low participation, we will be removing the Best SessKag Romance categories for both Fanfiction and Fanart moving forward. However, SessKag will be introduced into the Romance Roulette category for future terms. The original Best Romance categories will remain, so all non-InuKag pairings, including LGBTQ+, can be nominated into that category. All other pairings will be up for voting again next term.

We will officially be back in full swing September 1st! We will still be around in case you have questions or concerns, but feel free to take this time to read new fanfiction and find new fanart. We strongly encourage everyone to review/comment/reblog so to spread the love of this fandom around. 

Want to stay immersed in the Inuyasha fandom? Head on over and join our Discord server! Or follow @inuyasha-events​ to stay up-to-date on all the current and upcoming fandom events!

We also want to give the biggest thank you to the beautiful and wonderful @elevenharbor for gifting us her time and talent with creating banners for the fandom over these last 6 terms. We have adored each piece she has created and were always blown away with what she came up with next. However, she's stepping down for now, and in her place we are welcoming a new banner creator for next term. Please give Eleven a big thank you for her many creations over the years and send her off with lots of love!

As the day gets closer to the start of the third term of 2024, we will be keeping everyone in the loop when it comes to changes and updates. Thank you all again for making this such a wonderful experience! See you soon!
