#yashahime thoughts

[sirwhiplash]

Hot take: I’m rewatching InuYasha and you know what would have been SO much better than the sequel? A PREQUEL. A darker show about InuYasha and Sesshoumaru’s father, Tōga, with each of their mothers or even a show about the priestess Midoriko and how the Shikon Jewel came to be (and we even know that Kirara was there as well!)

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?

Look I'm glad they didn't resort it to a "nostalgia-bait" argument but the fact this is even being brought up characterizes them as really immature and never having cleared the air in like 20 years of marriage... C'mon, man. x_x

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

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

[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

[brainfilehasstoppedworking]

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.

[jakotsuto]

see, the unfortunate thing, is that footage of “Adult” Rin from Trashahime would be good for my anti s*ssrin edits (one in particular)

but then I’d have to go and record that footage and watch that terrible show— also, I’d have to buy Crunchyroll or something, therefore spend money on it.
