Idk why I'm here, it's scary (Mostly InuKag nonsense)

Where else to find me

If you have a thirst for fanfics: Here's my AO3 and my (old) FF (Mind the ratings/tags.) If you have a thirst for art: You can find more of it on my DA (Not much Inuyasha there though, sorry.)

My problems with pre-resurrection Kikyou

Warning: you could probably guess from the title that this post is about some of my rather negative feelings about Kikyou. I’ll keep her out of the tags, and if you don’t want to risk seeing other posts like that in the future coming from me, I advise you block the tags ‘anti Kikyou’ and ‘anti Inukik’. I would like to think that the analysis is interesting enough not to be pure ‘anti’ stuff, but I don’t want to risk upsetting anyone. Also, I may be petty. I’m actually far from being as petty as I thought I would be here, but I just thought I’d let you know, don’t take what I say to heart too much.

This particular post will focus on Kikyou, and Inukik will be secondary, mostly because I’m keeping that for a future analysis, but they will be mentioned since most of what we know about ‘alive’ Kikyou has to do with Inuyasha.

InuKag were together for a whole year before RT retconned it.

(Reposted from my Twitter. And as a starting disclaimer, yes, I know this was retconned when Kagome had a graduation chapter, but I still enjoy thinking about it.) So I've done a little theory crafting, and I really think InuKag were traveling together a long time before they met their other friends. Possibly even a year before Miroku. Thanks to color versions of pages, we can guess that the manga starts in autumn. Leaf color, falling leaves, the villagers harvesting extra thatch for their homes, and everyone having foggy breath. (This also means Kagome's birthday is probably in autumn!)

The Blank Woman and Sesshoumaru seem to be in winter, because a lot of the trees are finally bare, and Kagome's dressing warmer. Note that Japanese flying squirrels do not hibernate. Though I'll admit this one has less evidence, it seems to match up.

The frog prince arc is spring. Again easy thanks to color pages, and Kagome finally being able to swim.

After meeting Shippou we transition into summer for the poltergeist and spider arcs. Again, Kagome's attire makes this obvious, with her sundresses and short-sleeved summer uniform while eating ice cream. Also the people doing fireworks. Nazuna is also picking Chinese Bellflowers, which are a summer bloom.

I'm guessing Kikyou's resurrection is either late summer or early fall due to the field of pampas grass and the dragonflies.

And we're back around to proper autumn by Miroku's intro chapter. Fallen leaves, hot spring monkeys, and persimmons!

So there you have it! They were "alone" together (sans Shippou lol) for an entire year! I think this makes a lot of things make more sense, like Inuyasha almost kissing her "already" and realizing he likes her by then. There was more one-on-one bonding than we thought! Again, I'm not trying to claim this as absolute canon, since I'm aware Rumiko retconned it later to have Kagome graduate near the end of the series. I hope it hasn't come off as me trying to do anything but point out how the seasons initially played out.

HC: Moroha initially started sword practice with chopsticks. It looked like Inuyasha was just teaching her how to hold them to eat but he was also making sure to get her thinking about grip and she'd practice swinging them at him while he also parried with chopsticks, until Kagome would finally tell them to knock it off and eat.

*Me sitting down to write smut.*

But first! We must thoroughly understand this man's fractured and devastated sense of self. Only then can we truly appreciate how connected he feels to her while finger-banging the soul from her body.

I have so much smut WIP in my files help

[morishiges]

some kagome design breakdown which i coulda gone much more in-depth with including ALLLLLLLL the times her bangs were straight vs current inbetween. i love how she was kinda kogal with her loose shirt and fluffier socks. after her uniform is destroyed because of mistress centipede, she isn't seen wearing it again until the toad prince arc, where it's redesigned kinda and has stayed that way since. shorter and tucked in shirt, longer skirt, taller socks.

she is so cute i love u kagome

Why do artists always describe non-see through supplies as "opaque" when the dictionary definition of opaque is that it is indeed see through.

I've just tried to change my Discord profile. Maybe even refresh it here (by refreshing I mean another Inukag layouts, of course), so I've scolled on Pinterest. After saving a manga scene, the boards inspiration have changed. AND THEN THAT:

NOW THAT I'VE BEEN READING THE MANGA IT IS TEN TIMES MORE AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. *heart explodes*

I got a new pocket sketchbook and tried to fight art block with some peaches but it looks gross cuz I gave up on the bg lol.

It's charcoal pencil and I'm fairly sure the paper is multimedia but it did NOT like the layering process. Oh well. Less blending than I usually do.

Washing my hands furiously after seeing a post claiming there's no relationship between InuKag and he's still in love with Kik because he never talked about moving on. LIKE??? Even with the anime omitting the dating stuff HOW STUPID (pardon my bluntness) do you have to be to not read between those gaping lines????
