Since the og Urusei Yatsura op is trending on tiktok and people are using it for their ships. Will this hastily made drawing that I made in only an hour convince all of you to watch either the reboot or 1987 of my most favorite anime? Please 🥺

(If you’re not convinced then just know this anime was the first published manga by Rumiko Takahashi, the creator of Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2)

"It's a rumic world!!"

Day 7 of @rumicworldweek - Happy Birthday Rumiko Takahashi!! 🎉

Sadly, no art for today since it seems I've hit an artblock after drawing for almost an entire week 😭, but to be fair everything drawn for this week was for sensei's birthday after all. I wanted to draw art for Mermaid Saga, One Pound Gospel and Rumic Theatre, but unfortunately there's only seven days in a week (though I have drawn art for Mermaid Saga like a week earlier and I have drawn an art for one of the Rumic Theatre stories months ago. Sorry One Pound Gospel, eventually!!) And plus, when it comes to topic of Rumiko Takahashi and her works, I decided to talk about it rather than draw...

Rumiko Takahashi... Honestly, all her works mean a lot to me. Each have it's own reasons, reasons why they're more than just mere stories to me. I guess it's mainly because of how good of a storyteller she is. Here's a little tidbit from her which may show why:

And boy, does it make me feel exactly how she wants it to. She knows what the reader looks forward to and she delivers just that while having fun. The amount of love and passion in her works in insane and the little details put to the story and characters are exactly what I love about her tales. Then there's the amount variety when it comes to her stories which I think is the most obvious when you pick up just one volume of the rumic theatre, one moment you're reading a hijinks story about a boy who just want to deliver newspapers but keeps getting interrupted by invaders and half- fishmen and the next moment you'll be reading a horror where this high school kid who knows archery is trying save his girlfriend from being murdered by his yandere cousin.

Honestly, just the amount of one shots she have is enough to prove how much as well as the number of chapters her serializations have is enough to show how much dedication and passion RT has for manga and this dedication is just what makes their quality so good. Urusei Yatsura makes me laugh and reminds me to have fun and enjoy life. Maison Ikkoku taught me about growing up. Mermaid Saga is a spine-chilling story which talks about the price of greed. Ranma 1/2 brings about the topic of familial love besides the romance itself. I've only watched the OVA for One Pound Gospel, but what intrigues me the most is the fact that the main pairing is a boxer and a nun, it's like the strangest pairing you could make but Kosaku and Sister Angela make it work and let's just say I love these kind of strange pairings, lol. Inuyasha talks about letting go from the past while still keeping the important within you. Kyoukai no RINNE is quite nostalgic to me as someone who grew up in a family who's very keen on saving money and a lot of moments make me laugh because I've been similar situations and it's nice to look back on them. And finally, MAO is the series I'm currently growing up with.

I know Rumiko Takahashi will never see this but.. Thank you so much for everything, your characters and stories managed to lift my spirits in the darkest of times and remind me that everything will eventually be okay. I know I'm not the only one who thinks this and all of what I've said is why I love Rumiko Takahashi and her stories.... ♥

I'm glad that I was able to participate in this year's Rumic World Week. Thanks to everyone who's liked and reblogged my posts and I hope everyone reading this has a great day ahead!! 🌹

The Traveler (Trevor Belmont x Reader)

Chapter 1: Down the Sacred Well

Summary: Via the infinite corridor, you get isekai-ed into the Castlevania world

A/N: I've been daydreaming this up for 4 years and am finally getting around to writing it; rumor has it (I tried but I can’t find legit evidence of this) Hoia Baciu has been habited since 6500 BCE which would make it the first known human settlement in Romania; If you haven't seen Inuyasha it's an anime from the early 2000s about a girl that falls down a sacred well and into feudal/warring states era Japan where there are yokai (demons but not the western Christian kind) and magic and stuff.

<3

You had to admit, all the families picnicking in this supposedly haunted forest was unexpected, to say the least. So was the frequently used dirt road circling the forest and all the residential houses. However, when you took a trail deeper into the Hoia Baciu in Transylvania it did not take long to understand where all the ghost stories came from. Despite there being very little undergrowth, the forest was eerily quiet, even if you only went ten feet off the road. Even the bird songs were missing. As a matter of fact, the only animals you saw inside the forest itself were a very large snail and a dead cicada along the trail. In terms of vegetation, the trees curved and twisted in unusual ways. The thing that made the forest feel most haunted, however, was that no matter where you went inside the forest it always felt like something, just out of view, was watching you. Not to mention the large circle, called the Poiana Rotunda, where no trees would grow, even the trees surrounding it arched away from the center. According to the legends of the forest, the Poiana Rotunda was a landing spot for aliens or a portal Hell, along with many other absurd explanations for the bare patch of Earth.

Luckily, no one else seemed to be in this part of the forest at the moment, though someone had been recently based on the dying bonfire in the center. You walked out of the quite shady forest into the hot, blinding, Romanian, summer sun and knee-high grass, taking out your phone to get a few pictures and videos from the edge before going to the center. The smoldering fire was unfortunately dead center of the circle, which was disappointing. Something drew you to the center, probably just the mysticism and fantasy of the haunted Transylvanian Forest.

After taking your videos you began to turn around when something iridescent and glowing peeking through the ash caught your eye. Kneeling down you grabbed a nearby stick, that had survived the fire, to try to uncover the object. As you pushed away the ash the iridescent object continued to grow, yet somehow the stick did not come into contact with anything except the ash. Confused, you continued until suddenly it was no longer a spot in the grey but expanded across the entire ground.

The next thing you knew you were plummeting downward. The world around you was a strange mix of every color in existence in an oil-slick pattern with windows filled with strange pictures and videos of impossible things, like flying cars, dragons, and an endless library of shelves pointing in every direction. This place was so overwhelming, that your eyes hurt from all the sights as your brain simply gave up on processing it all. You only knew it was over because you suddenly felt a rush of very cold air before slamming into the cold, wet ground, briefly losing conciseness.

Stretching your fingers you felt…snow? How are you feeling snow? It’s June and like 30 degrees outside. What the fuck? Your head hurt way too much for this shit. You slowly cracked open your eyes to see that you were in fact surrounded by snow, and it was the middle of the night. Despite the freezing ground making your entire body violently shiver, you couldn’t quite force yourself to get up. Instead, staring at the bright star-filled sky. Speaking of which, you didn’t remember being able to see the Milky Way from Cluj Napoca yet you were staring at it beside the moon… The strangely large moon. There was something else off about it too. You lay there in the snow trying to figure out what felt so incredibly disturbing about the celestial body you’d been gazing at your entire life. You looked closely at each crater, seeing them more clearly than ever before, and that’s when you realized the difference. The craters were wrong. The fucking moon was wrong.

The realization made you shoot up into a sitting position making your head spin. You leaned down to place your head against your knee and panicked when you heard a low growl in the distance. Looking around to locate the noise you realized you were somehow still in the Poiana Rotunda, just a different one perhaps, considering the incorrect moon.

Hiding in the forest was a very large creature, you could mostly only see its silhouette, except for its six glowing red eyes and extremely long white fangs. You slowly moved into a sitting position trying to remember all your wildlife safety knowledge and desperately hoping it wasn’t different wherever you were. If it was a big cat, you couldn’t turn your back, but if it was ape-like you couldn’t make eye contact or bare your teeth, and if it was a bear you needed to make yourself bigger and louder unless it’s like a grizzly or a polar bear, then you’re just fucked.

The creature roared before launching towards you. Apparently, fucked was the answer. You turned away from the creature sprinting as fast as your legs could carry you but the deep snow and spinning head made running pointless. You had barely reached the trees by the time you tripped over a log and the creature’s claws ripped through your left leg. Just as you were expecting to die a loud crack sounded behind you. Turning around you saw the creature begin to glow and boil before exploding and standing in the smoke was a gruff man in a long black cloak topped with white fur and a scar through his eye.

“Can you walk?” He asked in an incredibly deep and rumbling voice.

“I… I don’t know.” You mumbled. The cold, head injury and clawed-up leg were beginning to take their toll. Frankly, you weren’t thinking enough to know much of anything, you tried to answer his question before everything went black.

When you woke up you were lying on a pile of sticks and wrapped in a blanket that smelled like piss, beer, and body odor. The scent was so strong you nearly started gagging. There was a small fire in front of you with the strange gruff man from earlier starting daggers into you from across the fire, except he was missing his fur and cloak. He held your phone in his hand lazily flipping it around. When he noticed your eyes were open, he stated, “Silver doesn’t work on you.”

“What are you talking about.” You grumbled attempting to move before realizing that your feet and hands were tied.

“Are you working with vampires? Are there more coming through the corridor?” He angrily asked.

You stared at him dumbfounded “What the hell are you talking about? And why am I tied up?”

He held up your phone, lighting up the touch screen. “This is vampire magic.”

This was turning into, by far, the weirdest conversation you’d ever had. What the fuck did this guy mean ‘vampire magic’???? Maybe you hit your head harder than you thought? Hopefully. “It’s not…it’s my phone… Can you please just give it back and untie me? I just want to go back to my hotel…” Your words drifted off as you looked around at all the snow and the large foreign moon. “Where am I?”

“In the Hoia Baciu.”

“Outside of Cluj?”

“Yes.”

You looked at the man’s odd outfit. He wore a very dirty and worn tan shirt, with an emblem embroidered on the chest. You didn’t recognize the symbol, beside the cross embedded in it. On top of the shirt were dramatic brown and gold shoulder pads that connected to red straps holding tiny little throwing knives that crossed his chest. A red sash/cloak thing was belted around his waist and he had odd sherpa-lined brown arm guards. His pants were odd, puffy old fashioned pirate pants, tucked into fur-lined boots. The whole ensemble was very unusual, but between that and his insistence that your phone was ‘vampire magic’ perhaps something rather Inuyasha-like happened to you.

“When am I?” You asked.

“Excuse me? When?” Now he was confused.

“Yeah, what year?”

“I don’t know…” He paused seeming to realize something. “1474, maybe 75, not sure if the new year has passed.”

“1474!”

“That’s what I just said.”

So, you did get sent back 500 years into the past, into a place that presumably had demons, considering that thing you saw earlier, just like Kagome in Inuyasha.

“500 years? You expect me to believe that?” Shit, you thought, you accidentally said that out loud.

“Just bring me the phone and untie me I can show you.” He looked at you very skeptically. “I’m too injured to fight anyway.”

He grumbled before getting up and crossing the few feet between you. The man kneeled pulling back the smelly cloak and untying your wrists. Then he held out your phone. You tried to take it out of his hands, but his grip tightened around it. Sighing you typed in the passcode and opened the calendar app. “See! June, 2024.”

“Riiight.”

“The stupid circle is rumored to be a portal, right? Why can’t it be a portal to the future or an alternate world, because my world sure as fuck doesn’t have vampires, or that thing that attacked me earlier, and your moon is all wrong!” You nearly yelled, as you grew increasingly frustrated now that the fog in your brain was beginning to clear.

“There’s nothing wrong with my moon. Maybe something is wrong with your moon.” He quipped, earning him a glare. He sighed. “That would explain your clothes and… this thing.” Oh yeah, you were just in shorts and a t-shirt, his cloak was a surprisingly good defense against the cold.

“Could you untie my feet then?”

“Your feet aren’t tied.”

“What do you mean?” You asked in a panic ripping the cloak off of your legs. The sudden shock of the cold against your bare legs was agonizing, but not as shocking as the turnicid wrapped around your leg. Blood was already seeping through the cloth scraps that were used as bandages.

“If you want to live you need to get to town in the morning and clean that.”

Violently shivering you re-wrapped the cloak tightly around you, trying not to care about just how badly it smelled, and closing your eyes tightly willing the tears to not leak out as the panic set in. There was no way you could walk to Cluj in this state, especially not in this time period. Maybe if it was still in your time, when there was an ethnographical park, apartments, etc, but it was like a 30-minute taxi ride from Old Town to here, and you had a bad feeling there wasn’t much to Cluj beyond Old Town in 1474 or 5. The walk would take hours. “Is there still a road that circles the forest that people live on?”

“Not that I’ve seen. But I’m sure someone lives between here and town.”

“…Can you help me to…anywhere? Please, I don’t want to die here.” You looked up meeting the man’s icy blue eyes for the first time.

“Yeah. Wouldn’t mind some ale anyways.” He said longingly. “We’ll leave at first light. You should try to rest. It’s too dark to go now.”

“What are you going to do? Can you sleep without your cloak?” You asked, pulling it tighter around you and curling up into as tight of a ball as your leg would allow.

He shook his head crossing to the other side of the fire. “I’ll keep the fire going and keep watch for more night creatures.”

“Is that what attacked me earlier?”

He nodded.

“What are they exactly?”

“Souls of dead people ripped from Hell and shoved into the corpse of some poor bastard. The process mutilates the body, giving each night creature a uniquely hideous look. But the corpse bit is why that wound needs to be cleaned so badly.” The last sentence sent a shiver down your spine.

You gulped. “Are they common?”

“No. There are very few people who can make them, thankfully.”

“Humans make them?”

“They’re called forge masters.”

“Why? Does it need a forge to pull them from Hell?”

The man shrugged. “No. I honestly have no idea why they’re called that.”

“Huh,” You mused, attempting to get comfortable on the little platform or sticks he built to keep you out of the snow. The shock of being transported in time was beginning to wear off and the exhaustion was quickly setting in. “Thank you for helping me. I’m (y/n).

“Trevor,” he returned with a faint smile.

Despite the pain, you drifted off very quickly. At dawn, you awoke to find Trevor standing over you. “Time to go,” You’d barely had time to process his words before he was grabbing your arm and heaving you off the ground. You crashed into his warm hard body…the terrible smell most definitely belonged to him. “Get on my back”

“What??”

“You cannot walk. Especially not in those shoes.” He pointed at your tennis shoes. “Climb on my back. I’ll carry you.” His words nearly made you swoon. Never did you expect a muscular rugged man with glacial blue eyes and a chiseled jawline to fight a monster, take care of you, then carry you to town. You did manage to control yourself though and silently nodded, climbing on his back. Trevor then hooked his arms under your bare legs, God, you probably looked like you were in underwear to him. After that embarrassing realization, you did your best to wrap the cloak around your legs to protect them from the cold, before laying your head on his shoulder and drifting in and out of sleep.

“By the way.” You said groggily, breaking the silence. “What brings you to Hoia forest? I didn’t think it was a tourist attraction in the Middle Ages.”

“Tourism, here?” He looked over his shoulder at you skeptically.

“Yeah, complete with picnicking families, very few people think it's haunted anymore, at least according to my taxi driver.”

“Hmm.” He grunted. “Your taxi driver, whatever that is, was wrong.”

“Then why are you here?”

He was silent for so long you thought he wouldn’t answer. As you walked you swore you saw children in truly ancient clothing made of animal hides running between the trees and closely watching you, though Trevor did not seem to notice. You’d been so distracted by all the apparitions that when he finally answered you nearly jumped out of your skin. “I got into some trouble in Wallachia…they followed me through Transylvania, so I decided to go where no sane person goes.”

Great, a dangerous criminal. At least he was kind enough to kill that creature from earlier, bandage you up, and help you to town. Maybe he wasn’t that bad, but you were too afraid to ask, especially since he was just a random man in the woods. Still, you had no choice but to trust him under the circumstances. There is no way you could have traversed across the uneven ground and snow without him. You were honestly thankful to have him with you, for all the practical reasons, and because of all the ghosts and shadows watching you. On your way into the forest, you had problems with random anxiety and feeling watched but you never saw anything. Unlike now, where there was something creepy in every direction you looked. Maybe that was the difference between your world and this one… Here all the tales were real.

“What do you keep looking at?” Trevor asked, clearly annoyed by either your frantic head turning or your continually burrowing into him.

“Do you not see them? All the…people running around.” You decided to avoid the word ghost in case they could hear you.

He looked around, clenching his jaw. “I only see trees.”

“Well, I'm sorry to inform you but we’re surrounded by ghosts.”

“Not surprising considering where we are…have you always been able to see ghosts?”

You shook your head. “Nope. First time.”

He grunted. “Any I should be worrying about?”

“They’re just watching, but there is an increasing number of women in their twenties or thirties.”

“Odd” Was all he said as he walked on.

After about twenty more minutes the percentage of women continued to grow. They all watched the two of you from behind the trees. Except one, a woman with long stringy black hair, hollowed cheekbones, and a slit throat suddenly appeared not even 5 feet in front of you. “Stop, you must not go there!” She yelled, before disappearing again.

She’d nearly made you jump off Trevor’s back, but you managed to barely keep your grip. Trevor stopped immediately, his hand leaving your legs to find his weapons. “Where is it? What happened?”

“A-a ghost. She just-just yelled to stop and not go…somewhere…?” You spoke through shaky breaths.

“Well, that’s concerning.”
