Having Tea, Making Art, Obsessing Over OTPs. @hauntedpaintpot - Tumblr Blog

More sketchdump stuff~~

I needed some happy sketches of what Kagome’s life might’ve been after she went back.

I love the internet because someone decided to ship regina george and rodrick heffley on a random monday and everyone agreed

THIS IS NOT MY WORK! There's no artist watermark and I tried to search for it everywhere, but I found this on Pinterest and it absolutely BROKE ME. You guys 😭 can you imagine how different their lives would have been? How much less lonely Inuyasha would be been? Sobbing in the distance

Also let's hope we summon this artist

i think a lot about the chapters where kikyo is first resurrected, when kaede asks inuyasha to tell her about the true nature of his and kikyo's relationship, and he recalls seeing her smile:

kaede posits that he's remembering the love he felt for her, but his thoughts are more troubled than fond. the line "for the first time in my life, i felt like i'd done something wrong" especially hits for me - he's not occupied with thoughts of past love, he's occupied with guilt - i.e., the "nagging" feeling.

in contrast:

even his physical reactions differ, from a nervous expression (accompanied with the "gulp" sfx) to a light blush and a feeling of contentment. in later chapters he elaborates on this feeling, telling kagome that he feels light and relieved when he's with her. inuyasha is told that what he feels for kikyo must be "love," but love, for him, is the rare feeling of peace.

Something I've been obsessing over a lot lately is the fact that Inuyasha and Kagome have completely different memories about when they first saw each other and they never really talked about it in canon.

So I like to imagine they're reminiscing the good old days years later and Inuyasha is like "yeah, it was such a crazy night, full of action and screaming and blood everywhere because a centipede demon swallowed the jewel and almost had us killed."

But Kagome is just like "actually, I first saw you way earlier that day and it was a really chill, really pretty morning."

"What?!"

"Thought you might be a little bit dead, tho. So I pet your ears."

"WHAT?!"

"Then the villagers came and shoot us with like a dozen arrows, if it makes you feel any better."

[in the middle of a panic attack] WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Kagome just up here apologizing for not killing Naraku:

And then the big reveal of why she was so mad at Naraku in the first place:

And then this face via our favorite Dog Boy:

Inuyasha can't fathom that someone insulting or making fun of him would just send her over the edge. Someone genuinely cared and loved him, and he couldn't comprehend that this was enough to be legitimately mad about.

Which speaks volumes to how much he was abused in the past by others.
