#yashahime thoughts

[thegoodthebadandthequeer]

So I started binging InuYasha lately and spoiler warning

Actually fucking horrified by the amount of people in the fandom who think shipping Sesshomaru with Rin is ok. Like Yashahime… certainly exists but what in the actual hell. Sesshomaru started letting Rin travel with him when she was like anywhere from 6-10 based on her character design and personality; and I’m supposed to believe that him dropping her off in Kaede’s village (and still sending her gifts and checking in while she grows up mind you) only to later marry and have children with her when she’s 16-18 is ok????? Whoever decided that that was something that should happen should be put in fucking jail I don’t care. And no one even try to argue that “they’re soulmates” or “it’s not grooming they fell in love!” because shut the fuck up, Rin talks about wanting to be with him forever when she’s literally a small child and he hears this. An adult deciding to persue a relationship with that kind of inherent power dynamic even if that person becomes “of age” is disgusting. The twins are cute but people who ship Sesshomaru and Rin need to be booed out of existence. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

This was sitting in my folder for a while but I decided to finally finish these up and upload them.

Lore dump below

These are basically an alternative design I was playing around with Moroha. The idea behind her having a mokomoko is that she saw Sesshomaru's and eventually he gave her one of her own in order to fend off her trying to steal his.

What can she say, its comfortable to sleep on.

She has gold eyes in this au because honestly I prefer them over the brown eyes. Also I edited the markings because I hated how it basically just looked like eyeliner and lipstick, so I had her resemble her grandfather more because in my au she's the reincarnation of Toga. Also instead of her grandmothers rouge, which should have been destroyed, she instead uses her own blood as lipstick to trigger her power because having a strong source of scent helps unlock her strength. She could just smear it underneath her nose, but having a blood mustache doesn't look as respectable.

I have some thoughts on her weapons, but I'll share them next time. Though if you guys flood my inbox with questions, I may not be able to help myself from sharing.

You guys know on how InuYasha, the few times he talks about it, badmouths his father and says he doesn't care to avenge his death when he battles Ryukoltsei?

I wonder if InuYasha starts to regret his mindset towards his father once he himself becomes a father. Or at the very least, he starts to understand his father better. Especially if you want to go by the Movie 2 canon where part of Toga's death was from protecting InuYasha and his mom.

Just makes me wonder if InuYasha looks at Moroha or any of his other children and has the thought that it'd break his heart if any of his kids felt resentment towards him like he felt for his own father, especially when everything he ever does is to protect them. And I wonder if it makes InuYasha start to look at his father's memory differently, now that he's a parent himself and would do anything and everything to protect his kids, even if it meant dying and leaving them without a father.

Not that he'd go and try to get himself killed, as he wants to actually be alive so they don't have to grow up like he did, but you know he'd sacrifice himself if it meant his children could live, just like his father did for him (according to movie 2).

I don't know, I just wonder if InuYasha starts to ever regret the way he looked at his father's memory back when he was a teen once he becomes a father to Moroha and starts to understand his father's actions as a parent now that he himself is a parent. Ya know what I mean?

Things to do while having to get up in the middle of the night/very early morning cause the dog wants to go outside right now:

Consider that these 2 are the reverse of each other

One starts monstrous and learns humanity.

The other starts humane and learns to be monstrous.

Enjoy this 4 AM thought, and discuss if you wish

Side note: I refuse to acknowledge the Yashahime series. It didn't happen, we're not talking about it here

[chickenstilldancing]

Inukimi got "Why did I bring him into this world" written all over her face

[chaosandstardust]

Moroha from Yashahime and Abby from Turning Red would be either be best friends or worst enemies but either way they will burn the world to the ground and I want to see it

Sesshomaru: This is my child and my wife Rin

Me:....

Me who thought he was going to be like a father to her: Sir....

Me: I'm going to need you to step in the car...calmly and civilly...*opens back of a police car*

The Worst Sequels to Original Series

Lately, I've been thinking about certain spin-off/sequel series that truly disappointment me. To put it simply, most are just a insult to their original series/material and that failed to live up to hype and legacy. I honestly would NEVER recommend these to anyone.

I just hate how things turned out....

Why couldn't the original creators of Teen Titans just bring the series back for another season like the fans wanted for so many years instead of making THIS spin-off!!! And how is it still airing after all these years?!?! Also stop getting fans up everytime you hint the original series might return when it never does!

Yashahime is a prime example on how some original anime series Do NOT Turn out well. Everything was bad. The animation, storytelling etc. Everything was sloppy and just... TRASH. It makes me so mad when I think back on how much time I wasted on this series when it first came out. I'll never forgive those who disrespected Inuyasha with this sequel and and honestly most of the time, I like to pretend this series doesn't exist!

Doctor Elise... I'd give at least a 5/10. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't bad to watch. it annoyed the heck out of me whenever the anime changed/altered so many parts of the story and the animation pales in comparison to the beautiful illustrations from the manhwa. However, it also had it's good points and there were some changes I didn't mind and overall, it was still a somewhat enjoyable anime to watch despite the numerous changes.

In short, Yashahime and TTG are trash! but Doctor Elise is inferior to the manhwa, but still a decent enough series to watch.

bro if all half-demons went human on the new moon then naraku would’ve died like 100 episodes ago what is this bs rewrite

[hereticallyeverafter]

Ever since Sessrin became canon, the antis have just lost the plot- like, literally- and are copium spamming Sesskag on r/Yashahime and r/Inuyasha and, because the best opinions are unsolicited, here's mine: no.

more below, longish ♡

The thing with Literature and canon is, if you didn't see it, it didn't happen. That logic obv doesn't work in real life, but we're in Imagination Land rn. Canonically, Sess discovered the magic of empathy and, after roughly a year of travelling together, left Rin with Kaede's village. His whole thing was giving her a sense of agency and human companionship. But not once do we, the audience, see him do or say anything lascivious towards her.

What if I said, "I can't believe you guys would support a bank robber! Inuyasha prob wiped out someone's life savings!" you guys would be like, bitch, where?! Exactly. Honestly, it says something about a fan or audience member that they can stir themselves into a froth over a headcanon.

I think it reflects a lot of American Calvinist-inherited purity culture versus the total not-that of feudal era Japan too. There's only so deep you can compare sexual mores before you start realizing you're comparing apples to oranges. If you'd like a baby-level intro, YouTuber Linfamy does super entertaining breakdowns of life in early Japan.

Idk. I've been a fan since my childhood, and while Yashahime isn't perfect to me, that's ok, and I *am* super happy that Sess gets a more in-depth redemption arc.

[fuckyourtriangles]

I love time travel and/or desperately repeating time loops in order to fix/prevent things and now I’m salty we didn’t get that in the anime.

Omegas that would have obsessions — Multifandom

Notes: This is inspired by @animeomegas's headcanon of Nara's obsessions, but since I discovered it through @omeganronpa I'm giving them both credit.

Warnings: Contain MAJOR Inuyasha spoilers, might have grammar errors, confusing talk about reincarnation (I don't know what I'm saying either lol)

I had this idea for a while, cause I like the idea of the Nara clan having a sort of "soulmate", so I thought to myself "What other characters that I write for would also have obsessions?". And here are the ones I think would have:

- Inuyasha: 

»» I think he and his entire family (his father and brother) would have it, just like it happens with the Nara clan every heir has an obsession. But in Inuyasha's case, it can be a little confusing.

»» Because if we follow the canon, his obsession would be Kikyo and Kagome, considering they are the same person since Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo from the future. So in the end, they're the same person in different timelines.

»» So we can have three scenarios in this case, first one: Inuyasha's obsession is Alpha from the very start, and he doesn't fall in love with Kikyo.

»» Second scenario is that (Name) is the only reincarnation of Kikyo, and Kagome either doesn't exist or just isn't the reincarnation. The third scenario would be that Kagome and Alpha are twins, and they're both the reincarnation of Kikyo, but Inuyasha only obsesses over one, cause otherwise it could lead to incest and I don't like that.

»» For the majority of the anime's plot to work, I think we would have to go with a mix of the third and second scenario, in which Alpha is Kagome's older sibling (by a few years), and is also Kikyo's reincarnation but either both the siblings have priest's powers or only Kagome has.

- Sesshomaru:

»» Being Inuyasha's brother he has an obsession too, but it is a lot easier to discuss how it would work.

»» I hate that they made Sesshomaru and Rin a couple, he raised her like a daughter through the anime, and in the end (and Hanyō no Yashahime) they turned into a couple. I understand that at their time this conception might not be weird and whatnot, but it is to me, so we will pretend like it didn't happen.

»» Unlike Inuyasha, Sesshomaru would already know this concept from his father. Since Inuyasha never met his dad, I think the obsession would be all news for him and he might get overwhelmed. Which would not happen with Sesshomaru.

»» Like, don't get me wrong, I think he would avoid "activating" his obsession because for him feelings and emotions are unnecessary and he doesn't need or want that. He's also very much anti-social, so it might take a while for him to find his obsession.

»» And for it to work he would have to find them after finding and adopting Rin, because he only became more accepting of people in general after her, principally human. If Alpha is a Yokai things would probably be easier for them, but if they're a human Jaken will make their life harder (and perhaps annoy everybody).

- Tōga:

»» This is also complicated to think about, cause adding a third party to his story would probably mess up the entire anime, considering that he would have to meet his obsession before he dies.

»» So basically we have two scenarios, one which doesn't disturb the canon as much and the other that probably will. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to not change the story of the anime on this one.

»» So, the first scenario is a little bit long so bear with me. Tōga and Sesshomaru's mom only married for power or political purposes, so both of them knew that there was no love in the relationship (I do believe this is canon, but I haven't seen confirmation). Some years later he meets Izayoi (Inuyasha's mom) and he thinks that he has "activated" his obsession, while Izayoi was pregnant, Tōga was fighting the dragon Ryūkotsusei, and in this battle, he met his actual obsession. Who would have seen and heard the fight and decided to help Tōga defeat the dragon, and also helped on saving Izayoi and Inuyasha.

»» Still in the first scenario, this could end two ways, either both Alpha and Tōga die because of the number of lethal wounds they have, or both end up surviving and escaping with Izayoi and raise Inuyasha together. Just an addon to this, I do believe that both Tōga and Izayoi are omegas, and in my universe, male omegas can impregnate others (that can get pregnant, obviously).

»» The second scenario is a lot shorter, but Alpha is Inuyasha's and Sesshomaru's parent, just because I want them both to exist in all scenarios. So if Alpha is either a human or a yokai would probably change the outcome of this, but I do think they would all be a loving family, which is kind of a weird concept considering that Sesshomaru and Inuyasha hate each other in the anime.

- Sebastian:

»» I'm gonna be completely honest, this is heavily influenced by a mod that I installed that makes Seb completely obsessed with the farmer, so this is the only reason why he is here.

»» I don't think this would run in his family, is his thing, but it might also happen to his children, so this genetic obsession might start with him and go for the future generations.

»» From this list, his obsession is the most similar to Shikamaru's, if not more intense, he is a very socially anxious person who only has two actual friends and spends the majority of his days in his room hidden from everyone and everything. He even got a job where he doesn't need to be talking to people or leaving his room.

»» It would be the first time he meets someone and has clear feelings for them, so it would be overwhelming to him and he would not know what to do, but would still try to spend as much time with his obsession as physically possible.

»» Now this would be weird for both Alpha and Seb, considering nobody else in the town has an obsession and he never acted like this towards anybody or thing.

Bringing this back cuz I'm now thinking about Rumiko Takahashi stories and my brain of course ended up at the one that started it all for me. None other than Inuyasha and it impacted me so much y'all don't understand-

Story time that nobody asked for:

Okay so as we all know I'm a huge Inuyasha fan. I've loved the anime ever since I was 12 or 13 years old and it was one of my very first actual full fledged anime I'd ever watched other than Death Note and a few episodes of Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z as a little kid. But there's another reason why Inuyasha is very important to me.

It's the anime that me, my little sister and my little brother bonded over.

You see me and my siblings like many other siblings argued a lot about stuff and we all had a hard time finding something all three of us could enjoy together that wasn't a board game. It was difficult to say the least and it didn't help that as I got older I was starting to get into things my family didn't quite understand like anime for example. So here I am as a preteen, expanding my horizons in what I'd like and I'd ended up finding Inuyasha and rented all the DVDS from the public library. I took them home and put them into the DVD player and watched the first couple of episodes when my sister came into the living room and saw the show. She was instantly curious about it and started to ask me questions about it like what the story was about and who the boy with the dog ears was. After explaining it to her I remember she'd went quiet for a moment before sitting down next to me and started watching the show with me. So there the two of us were watching the first season of Inuyasha, getting taken in by the story and the characters and the comedy and all of its magical charms. We'd finished the first season together in the span of two or three days, watching and talking about the characters and how cool they were.

It became a time me and my little sister would look forward to after school or on the weekends. It was around the time when we'd started season two that my little brother had joined us. My little brother was one of those kids who didn't get interested in things too much and who would mostly play with his toys or watch Toy Story on repeat because it was his all time favorite movie back then. So colored me and my sister surprised when we caught our baby brother standing by the doorway of the living room watching this show with us with this interested look on his face. After having a talk with our mom we had him join us for the Inuyasha marathon and just like my little sister he was hooked.

Inuyasha at that point on became our bonding time. We'd wait for everyone else to get into their spots in the living room and watched the show together, waiting anxiously for a phone call from our public library to let us know that a season I'd ordered was in. Me and my siblings watched every season and all four movies together and we always had a blast whenever it was on. It was one of the best times of my life and one of my favorite things to do with my younger siblings. Inuyasha had basically helped us all bond and get along with one another, it gave us laughter and tears and all that jazz. It was only after we'd seen all of the anime available that I realized how much fun I had with my siblings.

Inuyasha was more than just an anime. It was something that bonded me and my siblings and to this day Inuyasha is one of my all time favorite animes mainly for this reason alone. Inuyasha wasn't just some anime, it was a place where me and my siblings could go and relax and enjoy each other's presence while watching an amazing story involving a half demon and a highschool girl who went on amazing adventures with their friends.

Anyways that's the end of story time that no one asked for. I was kinda feeling nostalgic today and I'd thought about these memories that I treasure and long story short ended up here sdhdgdgfhh.
