[ap-kinda-lit]

Inuyasha: Besides, Kagome is like my best friend.

Shippo & Miroku: Whoa!

Inuyasha: Sorry, my best female friend.

Sango: Hey! Woah- ah, I'm just kidding, I'm cool with that.

[creative-hanyou-girl]

So I'm watching the episode where InuYasha turns into a full demon for the 1st time and it got me thinking.

For all the times Inuyasha turned full demon he never ONCE went after Kagome. That is unless there's an outside malevolent influence or force trying to control Inu in his demon form, but even then Inuyasha fights against that outside influence while still in his demon form.

But when it's just InuYasha himself in his demon form without any outside evil to influence him, he's never attacked Kagome, or even the rest of his friends for that matter. Sure, Demon InuYasha's been weary of Kagome and the gang (especially during the 1st transformation) but he's never actually turned his claws against them and tried to attack them. And I have a theory that maybe its because Inu's demon recognizes Kagome and the others as people who are special to him. He doesn't fully recognize them, per se, but his instincts know on some base level that he cares about these people, ESPECIALLY Kagome.

Perhaps Demon InuYasha understands that these people are apart of his pack, and that Kagome in particular is someone who he cares a great deal for. *cough*his intended mate*cough*

Anyway, it was just something I noticed while rewatching this episode. Correct me though if I'm wrong.

For Reasons I Have Yet To Examine

Brain give the cute relationship scenarios to Kagome and Inuyasha, but give the bulk of the smut scenarios to Sango and Miroku. Also InuKag smut thoughts are more logistical and exploratory in nature which for me falls along cute lines.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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!

[creative-hanyou-girl]

Oh I love how you have Kagome in the mlp gen 5 style while everypony else is in the gen 4 style. That was very clever! And I absolutely ADORE all of their designs and colors!!!!! I've been so curious on your take for the rest of the gangs designs besides Inuyasha, and they look fantastic!!!!!❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰

The gang's all here!

Sorry I haven't uploaded an answer in a while. Got a bit distracted with some other projects, one of them being this. I drew Kagome first, then Shippo and then Naraku (se below the cut) and I was like "well might as well draw them all!" and s I did!

(High-res PNGs and more of my yapping below the cut)

Okay for starters, here's Naraku. He turned out super good imo. His whole thing in canon was absorbing different demons into his body, so whatever he is in ponyverse, he's absorbing other creatures and stealing their powers. He's got a little kirin, and a little changeling, some griffon, and some dragon. I imagine if they ever were to meet, Naraku would give Discord a run for his money. He's not a draconequis, but I'm still not entirely sure what.. he's a freak is what he is XD

Oh! I also created a custom kirin scale brush just for Naraku, so like hmu if you want the brush tip for CSP.

Kagome... yes I did kind of do this whole thing just to make the joke that she's a G5 pony. FWIW, I think she turned out pretty good, even thought the G5 style isn't my personal favorite.

Not much to say about Shippo. He's a little guy! The kirin ended up being kind of the analogue to yokai/demons in ponyverse, and I maaaaay eventually get into some lore stuff with that but... that's for another time.

I think the most interesting thing I have to note about Miroku is his cutie mark. He's a Buddhist monk, so I wanted to give him some kind of Buddhist symbol, but I ended up torn between meaning and aesthetic. I ended up going with meaning. His cutie mark is a parasol, used in Buddhist iconography to represent protection from evil. I felt like it warranted some explanation because even I had to do some research for this one.

KIRARA!!! No notes. I'm love her. The real challenge was making a cat (big and small) that didn't look bad in the G4 style.

I. DREW. SO MANY SANGOS. She's so cue I'm gonna die. I'm super proud of how she turned out, and also super proud of her cutie mark. It's lilies like the ones from the secret garden episode. She probably got her cutie mark when she realized how important her family is to her and how strongly she loves them. Kind of an Applejack vibe. I figured it also fit specifically because she represents the soul of love in the four souls of mitama, so of course her cutie mark would be about her love for her family.

Inuvember Part 2

In honor of @inuvember InuKag Day, the Archive Mods have put together a 30 day InuKag recommendation list: one fic per event prompt, all with a distinct InuKag (as OTP and OT3) flair. Since this is longer than our usual lists, we split it into two parts. Enjoy!

Day 16 Kohaku

Three Is A Crowd by Happy_Ocelot (G)

While stopping by to babysit his cute nieces and nephew, Kohaku comes to the horrifying realization that his beloved sister is in some kind of strange exhibitionist relationship. There were only so many times he could listen to his brother-in-law talking about hitting the ten or twenty children mark before snapping.

Good thing Kagome is there to help.

Humor, post-ending.

Day 17 Kaede

If We Fall Anyway by @soliska (M)

What if the shikon jewel didn’t exist and Naraku never came to be? What if Kagome fell down the well anyway and met a gruff, young inu-hanyou. Would they still become friends? What would be their story?

A tale told in snippets.

Day 18 Totosai

Mamorinuku by Nindeoronra (T)

Inuyasha commissions Totosai to make a new sword. Is it for him or for another?

Day 19 InuKag

Little Family by @xoxopandapanda (T)

Post Canon and A/U: Inuyasha and Kagome's family grows in time, starting with a little child who needs parents to teach him to love.

Day 20 MirSan

Shelter by @lavendertwilight89 (E)

Song fic inspired Stuck with You and Shelter

Inuyasha has been alone most of his life and one moonless night he gets caught up with a young priestess. She saves him and he, in return, helps her. What he doesn't realize is this priestess holds a lot of secrets which may or may not cost both of them their lives...

Day 21 InuKik

Kokoro no Kakera by @callmegri and @kirrtash (M)

She didn’t remember how she got there, only knew that it was warm, and soft. She hadn’t felt warmth since she was brought back to life. Where was she? What happened to her? The last thing she remembered was her reincarnation sitting on the ground next to that waterfall… She didn’t understand why Kagome helped her, again.

When a tired heart starts beating again, gravity itself has to rearrange to make space for it. But old wounds ask for closure before unspoken feelings can bloom, so all the pieces of shattered hearts can fit together.

Day 22 Sess Ships

In Hindsight by @mrfeenysmustache (T)

Hindsight is 20/20. Or.. it’s supposed to be anyway. A Drabble series about overcoming our misconceptions and all the little ways we talk ourselves out of happiness. InuKag Post Canon

Day 23 Kouga Ships

From the Hearts - and the Wrapping Company by @clearwillow (NR)

A gift for UnderwaterOphelia in the IYFF Book Club Secret Santa exchange. Christmas isn't going according to anyone's plans, except Koga's. Between the heat in the apartment making it feel like it's July and the endless boxes Inuyasha and Kagome keep finding, there has to be a good reason for the devious look in their boyfriend's eyes.

Day 24 Other Ships

There's Something In the Mist by @splendentgoddess (X)

A gruesome discovery in the forest is a warning that goes unheeded by the Inu-tachi who have no idea what demonic influences are at play. They will soon have intimate knowledge of what fate awaits them...intimate knowledge of each other.

Day 25 LGBT

The Real Me by @fawn-eyed-girl & @kalcia (E)

Kagome Higurashi is one of the top music journalists in the country, and her latest assignment is to write a story on one of the biggest rock bands in the world: Inutachi. She is immediately attracted to the lead singer, Inuyasha Masaki, a brooding, edgy hanyou who is battling his own inner demons. As Inuyasha and Kagome are increasingly drawn to one another, Kagome becomes more and more determined to discover just what has happened to Inuyasha that caused him to turn down such a dark path, and why she cannot seem to stay away from him.

Day 26 LGBT

Three's Company by @anisaanisa (E)

Threesomes were good. Threesomes were fun. Threesomes were safe. Threesomes didn’t involve feelings. Inuyasha’s in love with his best friend, and it takes five years and long-distance for him to get his head out of his ass.

Day 27 Platonic

Snoring Is the Sixth Love Language by @superpixie42 (T)

Somewhat against his will, Inuyasha finds himself sharing a hut and its one small futon with Shippo after a thunderstorm traps them in a foreign village. But Shippo's snoring means Inuyasha won't be getting any sleep, and instead spends the night alone with his thoughts. A three-year-gap, There Was Only One Bed Prompt fic, filled with found family feels. Rated T for language. Featuring art by Artnisa (AnisaAnisa) !

Day 28 AU

The Captain and the Hanyou by @goshinote (T)

In a world in which youkai have been forced into hiding after the Great War, Captain Higurashi is known as one of the cruelest youkai-hunting pirates. After Captain Higurashi kidnaps Inuyasha, a prized hanyo, a plan is set in motion. Inuyasha will find out Captain Higurashi is nothing like the stories say, and he will discover that nothing is truly as it seems...

Day 29 AU

Aurora by @thunderpot (T)

"It is said that a long time ago in the age of heroes — when Mother Earth was awake and the Gods walked among mortals — there was once a beast created by the Sun that fell in love with a great warrior."

A creative exercise from inuvember prompt: Myth Au

Day 30 Fandom Day

Like Shards of the Shikon (a multi-author/artist collaborative AU)

A little craziness that got too big for Tumblr. "Like Shards of the Shikon" is a live action television version of the popular manga 'Inuyasha'. Follow the actors as they live, learn, and laugh together. Expect fluff, laughs, a little romance on and off screen. A mixture of art and text - we're just making it up as we go. Join the general craziness!

A special shoutout to friend of the Archive @sometimes-icanstillhear-sitboy for creating a series of Inuvember fic-rec TikToks based on this list!

Curiosity Killed... the Dog?

I finally came up with a title & actual plot to tie the Tumblr Prompt work together!

How quickly curiosity can evolve into something...more. They say curiosity killed the cat, and satisfaction brought it back. But will Sesshoumaru be satisfied with the truths he must come to learn?

Sesshomaru joins up with the Inutachi in their seemingly never-ending hunt for Naraku. Purely out of frustration & curiosities sake. That his ward would benefit from the Miko & her kits presence had no baring on his choice. It was simply a fortunate bonus.

But where Sesshomaru expects to find proof that the Miko is no better than any other human, he finds something he's not quite ready to acknowledge or accept.

[ap-kinda-lit]

Kagome: I’m here! Oh God, where is he? Where’s my baby!?

Miroku: You’re holding Shippo, Kagome.

Kagome: No, my big baby!

Sango: Do you mean Inuyasha? He’s right over here.

[creative-hanyou-girl]

*Snorts*

“What’s the matter Kirara? Did little Timmy fall down the well?”

[hyperfixatedwhor3]

I feel like what we often forget when it comes to how hard it was for the inutachi and allies to kill Naruku is that it wasn't because Naruku was an extremely strong demon, it was because he was crafty as fuck. I'm not saying he's weak but his strenght wasn't what they were struggling with, it was with his disguises, his multiple bodies, his minions, the way bro was almost always hiding, Naraku wasn't exceptionally strong but he was exceptionally smart

[feudalmerengue]

5, 13, and 18 for the ask game

Thanks for the ask!

5. Speaking of Inuyasha: the inutachi, but more specifically Inuyasha and Miroku. Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken. They are the og homoparental family XD.

Other than Inuyasha: Dipper and Mabel, Finn and Jake, and The Best Friend Squad from She-ra princesses of power 2018.

13. This is a complicated question. I think maybe Miraculous Ladybug???? ive watch the show since its very beginning but I no longer keep up with the fandom or the show. I stopped caring in season 3. Tho i still watch it sometimes, but only if i meet with childhood friends to watch the show. So i guess it would be Inuyasha. Ive being in the fandom for 7 years but just watched everything from afar. I never interacted with it but still had fun. Last year I actually started to be "more active" in the fandom, and it's being amazing :D

18. Oh Lord I read and love so much fanfiction but my top 3 list would be Behind the Silk Screen by Eiennobasho, Little by Little by Danie_Dae, and Light Me a Lantern by Novaviis. (special mention to The Five Stages by YearoftheCatFan922, that fic is the reason why i now read so much post canon inukag)
