“Can a heart still break once it’s stopped beating?” - Corpse Bride

Ship 1: Inuyasha x Kagome (2002-2004)

I was a child and hated Kikyo (misogyny, misunderstanding complex themes and characterization…) 20 years later, Kikyo is one of my favourite female characters. As we move through our lives, the kind of storytelling we crave may change and now in my adulthood, I find that I do not hate any characters in any media I consume, no matter how reprehensible or confusing their actions may be because they are a valuable part of the narrative. Anyway, this is a random Kikyo appreciation post from someone who hasn’t been in the Inuyasha fandom for 20 years. Thanks. Bye.

doesn't it just suck when your ex girlfriend gets revived and she's literally and figuratively falling apart

Happy Birthday to @classysassy9791!!!!!!!! You’re responsible for my much softer feelings about this particular undead priestess.

If Kikyo has one fan I'm that one

If Kikyo has 0 fans that means I'm dead

Kikyo, she is so pretty.

I draw her each year, really like the character design.

canon kikyo vs with my own headcanons

+ some notes:

the cracks in her skin symbolize pressure - when she was alive, she felt constant external pressure around her due to her duty as a miko, but could never show it. in her undead form, it surfaces in the form of cracks on her clay skin. when she's first formed, she doesn't have any because her soul wasn't in her body at that time, but as the manga progresses she gets more and more cracks (from injuries as well) until eventually she can't keep herself together any longer. she does attempt to mend parts of her body (like her fingers, which tend to snap when she uses her bow and arrows) but that only works for so long.

she's hollow, so when she loses parts of herself, all that remains is a gaping hole. when she was alive, i don't think she really had time to learn more about herself or develop a personality outside of "stoic miko," so when she's revived, all she has is that fragile, outer shell that everyone saw when she was alive, and that was the part that defined her for a very long time.

the leaf she has in her hair is the same one she was clutching after being revived, the one placed over her baking clay body by the witch urasue. it keeps her body together for a while, but its magical properties begin to fade once the witch is killed (i'm still workshopping this one.)

as for the bugs (i meant to draw more but didn't feel like drawing another body again) i just thought it'd be interesting (aesthetically as well) if they were around her like her shinidamachu (which apparently translate to dead soul insects?? so that's neat!)

kikyo's lack of eyes in this piece are because those are the first body part she lost (she loses more as the story progresses before her entire body just returns to dust), and she navigates with the help of her shinidamachu, insect familiars and spiritual senses.
