This is my entry/contribution to the Inu-Spiration event 2023!

I was paired up with the amazing @sereia1313 for the Reverse Bang, which has been an amazing experience. ♥

This goes with the fic Tethered on AO3. ♥

You enter, and the door closes behind you. [Read it at A03]

Do be warned that the following heavy subjects will be discussed for the following fanfic: gaslighting, violence against women, sexual violence, eating disorders, religious topics, torture, and blood, so please take care of yourself if you are uncomfortable with the following topics

Summary: Midoriko was called by two representatives from the dilapidated Qilin house to marry the Lord of the house, with a set of keys as her wedding gift. Curiosity took over Midoriko when she encountered a red-haired stranger at her wedding leading her to explore the mansion's mysteries with that said set of keys.

So surprise! For @inu-spiration Halloween reverse bang I work with the amazing @mrfeenysmustache on this chilling feminine horror tale!, I could go easily for a Middle Ages AU, but instead, I want to challenge myself to write a genre that I never did, as I was obsessed with listening to or watching playthroughs of Bluebeard's Bride; which you play as the new wife of Bluebeard which you explored the house with chilling horrors or frightening servants, figuring the truth about her new husband.

I am super proud I worked on this story, despite that I am not a horror writing genre myself (I dabble a little from time to time), and I am so glad that I took that plunge though I have some scares for myself. To dive into my dark inner demons to narrate a tale of strength and grit from us women despite bleak situations.

A huge shoutout to @witchygirl99 for helping me to beta this project despite that technology did not agree with us and being so game for this project.

Enjoy this creepy creepy tale fitting for Halloween, and oh I made a playlist for your listening pleasure

So get cozy y'all for a spooky tale!

So here is Feeny's gorgeous work under the cut!

SPIRIT RUN

Spirit Run, an @inu-spiration collaboration between @classysassy9791 and myself is now live on Ao3! The art that inspired this story is absolutely amazing, and heartbreaking!

Summary: A yokai attack leads to an encounter that shakes the InuTachi to the core, and sends Kagome and Inuyasha on a race for her life.

Be sure to check all all the amazing works that have been posted with this collaboration event!

Ok I have been generous to you guys- so I will compel all of my research and thought processes for 'The Strange Heir', because I like sharing my process of writing this story

Hyper RPG Bluebeard's Bride [Link]

I always highly recommend this playthrough of Bluebeard's bride as it was GM by the creator of the game-Whitney and she is soooo good with building the atmosphere- I can never forget the bathroom which still causes me shivers, and the players bounce off so well.

I tried very hard to conjure a vivid experience from this playthrough, there are a few others on youtube which I will link: 🌹 🥀 and 🌺 (Do note it is in Japanese, but the animation is so pretty and three of the rooms cause me the creeps)

There is an amazing podcast done by Oneshot RPG

The Archetypes of Manliness | The Art of Manliness [Link]

Instead of doing the female archetypes in Bluebeard's bride to represent Midoriko's mind- I subvert to male archetypes which btw by Mother Google- it was a feat so thankfully I found this summarized version- which in fact borrow from a book- King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine, by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette. So I tried to capture the best of the personality types.

Originally I want to add Kirinmaru with the female archetypes but it will be much for me.

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier

When I was chatting with @fawn-eyed-girl and show my excerpts she said- go and read Rebecca which happened I listen to the audio version by Harriet Walter on my plane back home from Japan and the atmosphere is *chef's kiss*
