#Sesshomaru is a father figure to Rin

[avionvadion]

OK so I saw your Sora arc art for Forest deep and BABY SORA IS SO CUTE😍 can you draw Sesshomaru holding his baby girl (I just want to see some cute fuzzy Dad Sess art X3)please

Absolutely, I sure can :3

Sesshomaru probably showed up at the village to find his wife, Irene, and their adopted daughter gone, and Inuyasha babysitting Sora (her full name is Sorano now, lol, for very important reasons, but everyone (except Sesshomaru himself) just calls her Sora because Irene does) and Sesshomaru took her from her uncle because that's his baby and he will look after her until the fam returns. Irene and Rin go back to the house to find the pleasant surprise of Sess asleep with baby Sora on his chest.

Irene laments the lack of a camera, but probably makes a quick sketch with charcoal before Sesshomaru wakes up since he doesn't need very long to recover his energy.

Rin goes from calling Irene "Big Sister" to "Mama" at a very specific point, but I won't say when. Hehehehe.

[anonimusunnoaniswriting]

Guys, how do we feel about Inu Yasha? Any "sit boy" fans still around? God I feel old....

But like, would people read if i wrote for Sesshoumaru? Are people even into him (you should be hes HAWT)

[hq92]

A fanfic scenario I will always be soft for is Sesshomaru giving away Rin on her wedding day/dealing with fatherly emotions now that she's all grown up.

Usually I picture her marrying adult Kohaku but that's just my preference.

Like, Sesshomaru already struggles with emotions anyway, but watching him deal with the fact that this little being that he cared for and protected and raised is now grown in the blink of an eye? She's ready to move on to the next stage of her life and his job is complete? 🥺❤Ow, my heart.

[dragonmickie]

ik most ppl see sesshomaru as a father figure to rin but to me personally he feels more like an older brother figure partially because I think itd be really funny. "here is my little sister rin and also my father's other son inuyasha" "isnt he your sibling too" "i just dont like him"

[darklinaforever]

Daemyra = I support pedophilia, grooming and physical abuse.

Zutara = I support colonizer x colonized relations.

Sylki = I support incest with oneself.

Charlastor / Radiobelle = I erase the canonical sexuality of the characters.

Reylo = I support the Nazis !

Darklina / Alarkling = I support a pedophile, a groomer, a pro-genocide and child killer in his spare time.

Sareth = I support pedophilia !

Sessrin / Sesshrin = I support pedophilia, and grooming.

Persades = I support kidnapping, rape and forced marriages.

Wyler / Weyler = I support psychopathic serial killers ! And grooming too ! (Because apparently for some Tyler is an adult and not a teenager as he is canonically in the series...)

This is usually what I get insulted about for loving these relationships... and it's just bullshit.

Daemyra is not grooming and pedophilia, book and show, I have already explained countless times why and I won't do it again here. And Daemon do not abuse physically Rhaenyra in Fire and Blood.

Zutara is not a relationship of a colonizer with a colonized person. Zuko himself is not a colonizer and the people of Katara were never colonized by the Fire Nation.

Sylki is not a true incestuous relationship, especially not with yourself. Sylki is not shown and characterized as truly the same person but as different people with the same role in the universe.

I'm not erasing the canonical sexuality of Charlastor / Radiobelle by shipping them into the context of fanon.

Kylo Ren / Ben Solo is not a Nazi, I also already explained why. Essentially he has no ideology of his own and has been manipulated since his fetus by hearing voices in his head 24/7 again today, and above all the defenders against grooming keep quiet this time ironically, since Kylo Ren / Ben Solo is actually a victim of grooming by Snoke / Palpatine.

The Darkling has not committed any genocide, he is not a pedophile or a groomer either and is even less a killer of childs specifically...

For Sareth basically... Everything that happens in the movie is essentially a representation of the desires / fantasies of teenage Sarah. Jareth is the reflection of her dreams, he literally acts according to her. He is the product of his fantasy. Please note, I'm not saying that what Sarah experiences in the film is literally a dream. No, I'm saying that the film, through its story and especially the character of Sarah, is in a way a representation of the adolescent's desire / dreams, and also a bit of hormones / sexual awakening. Without forgetting the fact of accepting to grow. That's why everything in the maze is in Sarah's room. That's why Jareth's universe is in this book, and also why the way to defeat Jareth there is. This is why Jareth is “in love” with Sarah. That's why he looks like a walking sexual fantasy with his tights on. Why there is a snake, a cane. Why does everyone at the ball wear masks with horns and long noses (= just falic / sexual symbols) Brief. There's nothing wrong with shipping Jareth with Sarah, since he's literally her personal fantasy and he's acting on that. (in the sense that he takes the role she gives him in the story)

Sessrin / Sesshrin is also not a relationship based on pedophilia. Sesshomaru clearly didn't feel anything romantic or sexual about Rin when she was a child. As for the accusations of grooming, they are unfounded because there is no proof. The fact that Rin gave birth to twins at 18 is not proof of this. Inuyasha takes place in the feudal era where a girl under 18 is seen as an adult. Essentially, Sesshomaru simply fell in love with Rin as she grew up. And he came to see her from time to time from the moment he left it with Kaede as a child. He was not responsible for her education. That was Kaede. He wasn't her father figure either, that was Jaken.

And Hades and Persephone must be read in the context of the time when the myth was written, otherwise you lose its true meaning. I have already reblogged excellent analyzes on the subject, I invite you to go and see them. Hades, essentially, is not the true villain in this myth.

No. I don't support psychopathic serial killers. The proof, I hate Laurel. The real psychopathic serial killer. Tyler is a teenager who she manipulated and enslaved for her cause. Literally, Tyler is a hyde, implying a personality disorder, but more than that, canonically, he must obey and approve of what his master does. Tyler is a victim. Not a bad guy. Moreover, once again, a real case of grooming under the arms. Yes, Laurel groomed Tyler, I've written lots of articles on this subject, you can go and see them. But once again, ironically, no one talks about it, and what's more, the antis will try to say that Tyler groomed Wednesday by inventing a new age for him...

[inukag-archive]

Inuvember 2023 Part 1

In honor of @inuvember InuKag Day, the Archive Mods have put together a 30 item InuKag recommendation list: one InuKag fic per prompt. Since this list is longer than our usual, we've split it into two parts. Enjoy!

Day 1 Inuyasha

I Hate That Fucking Well by @kstewdeux (M)

Post-manga. Inuyasha POV. Inuyasha's inner thoughts and monologues. Rated M for fucking language

Day 2 Kagome

Cinnamon Hearts by @fandomobsessions016 (M)

"So, you may be wondering, what’s this story about anyway? Well, I’ll tell you. It’s about how this queen, almost lost her crown, her throne, but worst of all… it’s about how this queen almost lost her king…

Hindsight, of course, has perfect vision, but at the time I did not. I was a girl becoming a woman who fought bitterly against change that was inevitable. I didn’t want to open my eyes. I didn’t want to see what was right in front of me.

What I wanted more than anything was to keep Inuyasha.

High school forced my eyes open, tested our “unshakable” bond and made me confront my biggest fear. All because…

I caught feelings for my best friend.

I like-liked my king."

Day 3 Sango

Forever Home by KittyKatz (M)

How long had he roamed the earth in a form that was not his? Beaten, dirty and caged, he finds one last bit of fortune when she comes to rescue him from this place. But his road to redemption will not be easy. And he will find, that no matter how the world has changed, his old enemy remains. And this time, they plan to destroy him once and for all.

Day 4 Miroku

Under the Northern Lights by @lostinfantasyworlds (E)

Kagome Higurashi has her dream job, working as a photographer for the internationally well-known Yugen magazine. Her career whisks her all around the world, leaving her feeling lonely sometimes but mostly just incredibly grateful to be doing what she loves. When she gets assigned to Alaska for a month to photograph a series of celestial events, she runs into Inuyasha, a half-demon who lives on his own in the middle of nowhere. A mutual attraction draws them to each other, but Kagome's time there is limited. Will giving in to their desire lead to love or heartbreak?

Day 5 Shippo

Oh, But You're Good To Me by @witchygirl99 (E)

It’s a terrible photo, really. The action figure takes up the entire bottom of the screen and part of both of their faces. Shippo’s giggling though, eyes shut and crinkled in his mirth while Inuyasha looks at him. His expression is clearly fond. It’s the softest Inuyasha has ever, ever seen himself.

This is fatherhood, he thinks a little wildly.

He sends the photo to Kagome.

Inuyasha is a single father. Shippo is his adopted son. Kagome isn't supposed to be in the picture, but somehow, she returns anyways. A story about family, love, and all of its obstacles.

Day 6 Sesshomaru

Whispers in the Wind by @ruddcatha (G)

It has been 500 years since Kagome jumped back down the well to be with Inuyasha. A messenger waits to see her family, and is joined by a surprising guest.

Day 7 Rin

My Life Before You by @len-barboza (E) -- based on a story by Mizune-mei

No English language summary provided. Inuyasha había vivido la mayoría de su vida huyendo, un huérfano medio demonio considerado por la gente una aberración, rechazado por demonios y por humanos, pero quien pensaría que esa era una mejor vida, al menos un propósito lo movía; sobrevivir, que sucede con un hanyo con una vida longeva, en completa soledad.

Day 8 Kikyou

Stolen Soul by Kimberly-A (T)

COMPLETE Kikyo uses a spell to exchange bodies with Kagome, leaving Kagome stuck in the dead shell and Kikyo comfortably human. In the aftermath, Inu-Yasha faces difficult choices. InuKag, not very Kikyo-friendly.

Day 9 Koga

A New Moon, A New Start by @pinestripes (T)

Kouga visits the village near the Sacred Tree. On this particular evening, he finds that a certain half-demon is more on edge than usual.

Day 10 Kagura

The Portal Between Worlds by @neutronstarship (E)

Ten years ago, a portal transported Inuyasha from the demon realm to the human realm. Now a half-demon alone in a world he doesn't understand, he will do anything to get home. When Onigumo brings him a book with all the answers, Inuyasha pushes aside his misgivings and works with the man. He just wants to get home, after all.

Kagome just wants to make an extra buck (and find demons), much to Kikyo’s chagrin. That is why she published Demons Among Us! after all. But strange things start happening when she puts the book online. As if people are using it to open the portals that it hypothesized… When Kagura and Sango join the fray, the stakes grow higher as they try to find the source of the portals.

When Inuyasha encounters Kagome, fate is not what it seems. Not one, but two realms are in danger for their survival. What happens when the final portal opens and an unknowable terror is unleashed? Can the Demon Hunters save the world?

Day 11 Naraku

You Rescued Me by @keizfanfiction (E)

Maybe it was fate that he decided to take the back way home that night, but whatever the reason, Inuyasha was grateful for arriving just in the nick of time to rescue a waif of a woman who had clearly been through hell. He never would have imagined that she would end up rescuing him, too.

Day 12 Band of Seven

Delicate by @akitokihojo (T)

To trust someone, to let them in, what an unsettling ordeal. Kagome is easy and safe, and Inuyasha is difficult and guarded. She can put him at ease with a smile, simultaneously setting him on edge. It was nothing until it was something, creating absolute chaos and uncertainty within the both of them.

Day 13 Jinenji/ Shiori

How Does Your Garden Grow? by @dawnrider (M)

An Ingary-esque AU: Kagome, the newest generation of caretakers of the Higurashi House, finally starts to feel like her garden and business is thriving with the help of her friend Jinenji. Their routine is thrown off by the arrival of an injured visitor who does not want to be found...

Day 14 Toga

Taisho School of Acting: A Quick Guide by @jeremymarsh (G)

“Excuse me, what?” Kagome looked at her best friend with eyes as big as saucers, lips parted, and her mind replaying what he had said a moment before – trying to find a sense but to no avail. “You heard me.” Inuyasha scowled, looking down, arms crossed and lips pouting, just like he did every time he didn’t like the topic at hand. The problem was he had started it this time. “Yeah, I did.” Kagome shook her head and inhaled deeply before she continued. “And that’s why I’m asking you to repeat yourself since I’m having problems believing that certain sentences left your mouth.” “I said,” Inuyasha started through clenched teeth, still not meeting her gaze, “come to my family Christmas dinner this Sunday.” He stopped, ran a hand through his silver mane, closed his eyes, murmured something unintelligible and then added: “As my girlfriend.”

Where Inuyasha tries to fool his parents and miserably fails.

Day 15 Izayoi

The Silence of Daisies by Fierywenchxo (T)

Inuyasha shares with Kagome one of the biggest secrets he's ever kept. One-shot.

READ PART (2) HERE

[ma-lis03]

It’s interesting how in the Yashahime manga Inuyasha says Sesshomaru isn’t around to help with caring for the twins (or isn’t there at all), so Kagome and him are helping Rin care for the them while caring for their own baby. But I love how he just says that if the twins grow up thinking Inuyasha is their dad that he’s totally fine with that.

Inuyasha didn’t grow up with his father or any father figure in his life. He’s willing to take on that role for them while fathering his own baby. I love that.

[jakensama]

In the constant calls of Rin and Jaken, Sesshomaru lost himself... These two little darlings gradually became indispensable parts of his life as a great demon. No longer fixated on surpassing his father to seek power, he transformed into a truly gentle yet powerful figure—a true legend of the Warring States era!💞🎊

🎊🎊🎊

💞💞💞

[anotherworldash]

BUDDY I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A WHILE BUT SESSRIN ANTIS ARE ATTACKING ME FOR A POST I MADE!!!!!

Hi, it's been a long time. How are you xD?

Which post???

Wait a minute... O.o if it's SessRin, it's usually some sort of pedo allegations or something. Or you know .. the ol' ship war.. usually vs SessKagu or KohakuRin. No offense to them, all ships are valid and all fiction is just fiction after all.

Actually, I haven't been very invested in Inuyasha since 2010(?) when this blog was a InuKag, Inukik, and Narkik blog . but let me write a defend post for them since many attacks towards SessRin are from salty purists who cannot differentiate fiction from reality. And

I understand that reading comprehension has been very poor in the west, ppl keep bringing modern human moral standard to a story where the setting takes place in the feudal era or the fantasy era where many other races besides human exist soo...

Let the SessRin haters know that Sesshomaru is literally a dog demon so not only modern moral standards do not apply to him, it also does not exist because in feudal Japan, peasants usually marry as young as 16 y.o. (and Yashahime confirmed she marries him when she's an adult)

(don't get me talking about father-daughter relationship, grooming accusations and power balance because none of them are true at all. Especially when Sesshomaru never fed Rin, he told her to look food for herself. Parental figure PROVIDE basic needs for their child. Sesshomaru did not. They are just travelling companions who happened to saved each other before.)

Roasting SessRin over pedo debate is also useless because by the same logic, almost all Inuyasha ships are minor x adult , including InuKag, Inukik, Narkik , SessKago and even SessKagura (Inuyasha is 15 yo mentally but physically he is 150 yo. Anyway, Inuyasha is also a demon, modern moral does not apply to them)

(Inuyasha's age is confirmed in Inuyasha the Movie 3 where he was born in 1347. Sengoku-jidai aka the Japan warring period is the 15th century, 1543-1553)

Yes you did not read that wrong. Kagura is YOUNGER than Rin, literally! Kagura was created as Naraku's second incarnation AFTER Naraku gained the shikon no tama shards, which was originally in Kagome's body. Naraku waited 50 years after Kikyo's death for this power. So, Kagura is a one year old baby

Unironically InuKag InuKik and SessKagu and the rest are still valid ships despite the pedo-element because this is a story about demons who live in fantasy feudal era. And the most important point is, this is just a cartoon , no actual child or human is involved lmao

[thequestioning-maiden]

I was thinking, maybe things could have worked out if only they had made Rin really an adult in hny. Maybe if they had said that Sesshomaru wasn't visiting her or if they had explained their relationship...I don't know. It would still gross me out but maybe... I could not feel the vomit reflex?

What do you think? ses*in was a good idea but poorly executed?

I don't think so, anon. I think It was a bad idea horrendously executed.

None of the things you mention erases the fact that Sesshomaru was a father/authority figure/trusted adult to Rin throughout the entire Inuyasha series. The power and influence he has over her is enormous no matter if she is an ''adult'' or if he stops visiting her (which never happens).

For over two decades, all we have known about Sesshomaru and Rin is just what they have always been: An adult caring for and raising a child. It's horrible that the next thing we know about them is that they are married with two daughters. I just can't see a scenario where them being a couple could be a good idea.

[avionvadion]

Sesshomaru: “Someone to protect?”

*immediately thinks of BOTH Jaken and Rin*

Sesshomaru: “I, Sesshomaru, have no one to protect!��

[chickenstilldancing]

Four Seasons p. 44

Though I can't figure out Jaken really complaining aloud about how heartless Sesshomaru is, still there's a bit of jealousy he harbors for Rin being so high in his Lord's consideration and however grown fond of the girl himself, I can bet it that sometimes he does have bursts of the sort (it is part of their bond after all bickering all the time but not seriously).

And then we have THAT line "Don't try to possess him, just fly with him". To me this is the whole point, if you don't get this, you can't get what sort of thing Rin and Sesshomaru have. It doesn't even count if you think of them as father and daughter, friends, lovers, travel companions, husband and wife, they are soulmates because they understand and accept and love each other just for what they are.

Interesting enough, in the passage above from "The Storm" (Ao3 sessrin ff, see link) we have again Rin basically accepting Sesshomaru's wild nature with no need for taking root but on the contrary of the Rin from Four Seasons to whom loving Sesshomaru and living in the wild are one, she's come to learn that there's beauty in the quiet life of the village too and chooses to love Sesshomaru from afar with the certainty that nothing can actually separate them.

(Reminder: personally I don't ship them, the main reason why I came to love Rin, Jaken, A-Un and Sesshomaru even more than Inugang is precisely because no romance was involved and lately I'm more into stories exploring this kind of relationships, but I still enjoy those sessrin fanfics which manage to tell something true and interesting about these characters).

[hq92]

A fanfic scenario I will always be soft for is Sesshomaru giving away Rin on her wedding day/dealing with fatherly emotions now that she's all grown up.

Usually I picture her marrying adult Kohaku but that's just my preference.

Like, Sesshomaru already struggles with emotions anyway, but watching him deal with the fact that this little being that he cared for and protected and raised is now grown in the blink of an eye? She's ready to move on to the next stage of her life and his job is complete? 🥺❤Ow, my heart.

[amara-sessh]

🎶 Let Your Heart Be Light 🎶

I know I've had Hyoga rot all month, but I just HAD to end the year with something involving Sesshkoga ♡ I have plenty AU ideas where Koga is just part of Sesshomarus mini pack and becomes the "Father figure" for Rin and funny enough, for Jaken too ♡

My critique:

•How dare I exclude Ah-Un??

•Why the fuck did I forget Sesshomarus hand markings?

I'm very in love with the background, I believe it's my best work yet ♡ And the clear view of affection over Sesshomaru’s features hits me just right ♡

Follow me on all my medias♡

[ocs-by-kingspade]

Hello fantastic fandom fellows!

Just an update on my general life I suppose. I am a writer, if you didn't already know and I have many, many WIPs that I can't wait to be completed...

Unfortunately I am cursed with the blessing of ADHD, however I have long since learned my lesson and no longer post works that I have not completed... however that means that currently, none of my works are posted.

I will (eventually) post my stories on our wonderful AO3 for your consumption... but I'm hoping a little hype will force my brain into submission

Thusly, we come to the purpose of this post. To inform y'all about my different works so y'all can ask questions or just be hyped for my future works or whatevs. This, a short listing of fandoms and a brief description of each work.

[darklinaforever]

So... I didn't think it was necessary to point this out, but it seems like people are forgetting the Inuyasha anime on purpose ? Sesshomaru didn't partially raise Rin. He was simply generally her protector when she traveled with him (and it seems to me that it only lasted 1 year maximum !), but he did not educate her in any way during this period. He didn't act like a father figure. Damn, Rin had to find his own food ! If Rin had a father figure during this period it was Jaken. Not Sesshomaru. It's still crazy to see this kind of nonsense about Sessrin said with such seriousness...
