An Inu-Spiration Tanabata Bang Collaboration with Dawnrider

It was my absolute privilege to be paired with @dawnrider for this bang. We've known each other for a while, and I adore her writing. I just know you're going to love her story - it has all the things I cherish in an Inuyasha canon setting that make me kick my heels in glee while I'm reading. Please leave her some love in the comments when you reblog!

Once you've read Dawnrider's story, this art will make more sense. I wanted to convey the feeling that Inuyasha and Kagome got caught up in something much bigger than themselves, and it meant that my art started out on a regular sized canvas and then got dragged into panoramic proportions when I realised it wasn't conveying the feeling the story evoked for me.

This one took a while for me to do, and me dragging my feet had absolutely nothing to do with Dawn's amazing work - my life at the moment is just full of Too Many Things. But there's nothing like an ADHD panic fest at the last minute to make you produce something - I'm just lucky I live on the arse end of the Earth and it gives me an extra 11 hours or so, otherwise I absolutely would have been marked down for handing in my assignment in a tardy fashion...

Anyway, I hope you like it! Can't wait to see all the lovely art and fiction crossing our dash for this event!

The Show Must Go On by @dawnrider

“A warm sensation flooded him as he looked down into Kagome’s gentle, watery eyes. Something possessed him and he had a feeling it was more than his own inner demon. Her lips were calling him, enticing him with their rosy fullness. Those were lips that looked like they wanted to be kissed. But does Kagome want me to kiss her? As his head dipped ever so slightly, Inuyasha smelled the warmth of something exotic in her scent, the call of her body on his own. Her eyes slowly fell shut and her chin lifted ever so slightly. If anyone had ever looked like they wanted to be kissed, it was Kagome in that moment. Inuyasha didn’t want to be the one to disappoint her.”

It’s an unpublished (unfortunately 😭) story yet, but because we share the same passion for Cirque de Soleil, and their whole world Dawn let me draw for it and show you. (Thank you! 🥰)

It’s maybe not a secret that I love anatomy and acrobatics, and I hope you enjoy these just as much as I enjoyed drawing them.

Kagome in sunlight, steals Inuyasha’s heart.

Sango and Miroku are practicing with trapeze.

Inuyasha and Kagome’s performance.

And at the end here’s a piece which is existing just in my head ( I don’t think Dawn will go this far) but I wanted to draw something sweet and unique from their future.

[dawnrider]

Happy freaking Friday, y'all! This week has felt like the longest week of my life. @heavenin--hell has graced us with new art, so I can add the corresponding vignette to Bright Lights and Cityscapes!

22. Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?

27. Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?

Thank you @dawnrider ���

I usually have this Oscar Wilde quote from The Importance of Being Earnest in my head when I'm writing -

“The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.”

In the broadest sense, I always aim for happy endings, and at the very worst, bittersweet endings. There is only one fic I've written that is not happy - The Widow's Howl. I've been there. There is no happiness in that, but bitter acceptance. Because sometimes, life rips you apart, but it's not only about you, but also those you need to care for.

Plot wise, there's usually a starting point in my head, and an ending point. The stuff in between is kinda zen navigation. This is why I am a s l o w writer.

I don't know if I've ever been nervous about posting a fic. There have been a few times where I've gone 'huh, I think this is a little more revealing about my personal preferences than maybe it should be. Oh well'. Fanfiction is a play ground where you can move your paper dolls around and dress them up and explore different feelings and emotions and scenarios.

My main worry about my writing is that I'll cause upset for someone if there's a scene that is physically violent or unsettling. That's why I love AO3, because I can tag all the things. And put warnings. All the warnings.

There is a fic I'm writing that involves violence at a school where I've asked for input from someone who has more knowledge on that subject than I do, because even though I'm writing fantasy (hello youkai, miko and magic users) I aim for realism as best I can.

I think I look at this piece in my file folder at least once every few weeks. It's beautiful. ❤️❤️

happy [late] birthday @dangerouspompadour!

A recent art commission for @dawnrider for her heartfelt fic A Bushel and a Peck

This shows a sweet moment between Kagome and her daughter Izayoi. Sometimes the love we feel for our children can be a little frightening in its intensity - the need to provide, to care, to protect from the prejudice of the outside world. Overwhelming, but wonderful too.

Thank you so much for the commission @dawnrider 😍 and for giving me an excuse to read your beautiful fanfic again!

No Such Thing: Updated with art!

Not a chapter update quite yet, BUT I had to share the art that the amazing @brain-rot-hour did which has now been added to Chapter 2 of No Such Thing.

Look at our babies! Don't they look like Inuyasha could have carved them himself? 😭

[clearwillow]

which inukag fanfiction that should become a novel?

Hi nonnie! I'm not sure if you mean converting any specific InuKag fic into an original novel, or if you're referring to printing and binding and InuKag fic to display on your shelf, so for the purposes of it being fic I'm going with the later, but I wouldn't say any fanfic author couldn't if they wanted to either.

Instead of listing any fic in particular, I gotta list some authors, because they've all got multiple fics that would be worthy in my opinion. (I also haven't had a lot of time to read 😅) Tagging as names come to mind, because there's no way to order these as they all have something incredible about their writing:

@mamabearcat @lemonlushff @dawnrider @keichanz @heynikkiyousofine @splendentgoddess @knittingknots @fandomobsessions016 @lavendertwilight89 @witchygirl99 @willowandfog @eternalnight8806-3 @ruddcatha @anisaanisa @roseheartwhitefox @shinidamachu @eien-no-basho (I'm forgetting some but it's the middle of the night as I write this)

and if we were asking which of mine, I dunno if there's any fitting for that 😅

“I told you.  Your heart belongs to someone else.  I accept that.”

“I don’t.”  He pressed her hand to his chest where he could feel his heart pounding.  Her eyes popped open and took him in with surprise and confusion. “If it belonged to someone else, would it do this with you?” - Return to Me by Dawnrider

Four years of distance and alleged personal growth have done nothing to tame her tumultuous heart or lessen her pain. Now, she has to confront her agonizing past while traversing through a myriad of emotions as she comes face to face with the very people she left the city to avoid; Inuyasha and Miroku. Thankfully, she has Sango by her side, as not all is as it seems…

In Between by @akitokihojo (M)

Summary: Each step, each breath, each smile and tear was unknowingly documented. Cameras were watching, culprits were laughing, a wild game was ensuing, so who could Kagome trust?

Inuyasha reached up to set his hand over hers, still resting on his face. “I miss you,” he whispered. “Do you miss me?” Kagome’s eyes went sad as she looked at him. She didn’t answer; her gaze just remained on him, her eyes taking on the pain he remembered.
