Use the sleeves of my sweater

Let's have an adventure

Head in the clouds but my gravity's centered

Touch my neck and I'll touch yours

You in those little high waisted shorts, oh

She knows what I think about

And what I think about

One love, two mouths

One love, one house

No shirt, no blouse

Just us, you find out

Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no

'Cause it's too cold for you here

And now, so let me hold

Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

And if I may just take your breath away

I don't mind if there's not much to say

Sometimes the silence guides a mind

To move to a place so far away

The goosebumps start to raise

The minute that my left hand meets your waist

And then I watch your face

Put my finger on your tongue

'Cause you love the taste, yeah

These hearts adore

Everyone the other they beat hardest for

Inside this place is warm

Outside it starts to pour

To be fair, the real meaning of redemption is a heel face turn from the sinner's part, is basically renouncing from evil and aknowledge the wrongs done. Kikyo never got that: she wasn't redeemed because she never recognized her mistakes neither she changed her views. What happened to Kikyo is that suddenly everyone forgave her or worse, pretended that she did nothing wrong and put her in an altar when she never did something for it. She never redeemed herself in the first place, less atoned.

Exactly. She didn’t get a proper redemption arc but people insist that she did. Lot of her issues with Kagome went unresolved because Kagome didn’t even get to confront her about it. Its not like I want to dislike her but her character arc is so bad and fandom constantly ignores the problems with her character. Us Kagome fans can acknowledge that RT is not a very good writer and she could have written Kagome better. Ive never seen anyone do that kind of analysis with Kikyou. Everybody acts like she was a very deep well written character or something. -_-

Inuyasha Chibis !! I have more Inuyasha art than Kamisama Kiss but more is coming…I’ve only recently gotten back into fanart I feel like there’s so much to catch up on !! ❤️

[sweet61]

Isn't Kagome kinda a mary sue too though? I mean she supposedly didn't have any darkness in her heart before she became jealous. And I thought it was pretty obvious that Kikyo was a prideful snot rag from the get-go (though she didn't even have a reason to be so up herself, she sucked at virtually everything), never did like her. In short, I enjoy the storyline of Inuyasha but the characters could have been handled so much better imo. Kagome is still my favorite though

No. Everything we know about Kagome is that she had a fairly happy, well adjusted life up until she fell into the well. Whatever she wanted she got it or at least worked towards it and got it. She’s got beauty AND brains. There was no reason for her to be bitter about anything. After being stuck in the love triangle for a long while that changes. She’s failing school (something she was always good at) she’s brainwashed into thinking Kikyou is a perfect goddess with all sorts of lies and SHE’s wrong for disliking her (this goes to extremely stupid extremes in the Azusa arc), she’s not powerful enough and never will be etc. Jealousy is a perfectly natural emotion but Kagome is forced into suppressing it most of the time. 

Also if you take into account the fact that the baby was playing around not with Kagome’s true emotions but her deep insecurities about Kikyou, it makes perfect sense. Besides every one of Kagome’s faults is painted in a negative light and called out. She is even made to apologize for stuff that is NOT her fault. She’s the furthest you could get from a marysue. 

Now Kikyou on the other hand…

Wish fulfillment does not make a marysue though its pretty obvious Kikyou is Takahashi’s wish fulfillment. You could have a character who is the most beautiful, powerful, intelligent what have you and you still wouldn’t have a marysue. Let’s face it. ALL stories are a sort of wish fulfillment at least for the reader.

So wish fulfillment is forgivable. Bad writing is not. Retconning and contradicting your own story is not. Every story is a universe and each fictional universe has rules set down by the author. You can’t break them to favor your favorite character.

Here is just one example out of plenty—

Soul stealing is evil. Kanna stealing souls is evil. Kikyou steals “miserable women’s” souls. The souls she steals retain the personality and trait they had when they were alive. At least the emotional ones. Is this worked out and resolved in a way that holds her responsible but gives her character growth? No. We get the bullshit KonHaku retconing to excuse her. Every time Kikyou’s character gets within one centimeter of a flaw RT is there rushing to cover her baby’s ass.

One more thing that’s not forgivable in writing is telling one thing and showing another. You can’t spout bullcrap about Kikyou’s “deep” “love” and not give any proof of it in the entire manga. No one with half a brain cell is going to buy that. So that’s why I say Kikyou is a marysue. She doesn’t follow the rules of her own damn universe and there is too much contradictory telling and showing in her character. She is just too badly written, and RT’s obsession with her cost the other charterers too. (My favorite being Sango telling Kagome to SIT Inuyasha after Kikyou’s death and saying KIkyou was not going to sacrifice Kohaku at Kikyou’s death scene. How much more OOC can you get?

tl;dr I call Kikyou a marysue because Takahshi goes out of her way to gloss over the consequences of her actions and there is too much telling not enough showing in her character. Unlike the other charaters she had no growth at all. Even INUYASHA whose character left much to be desired was at least made to apologize quite a few times in the manga.

[chinese-dumbelle]

Re-reading InuYasha again, I realized that the thing I dislike the most about InuKikyo is Kikyo's attitude towards InuYasha. Like, he's full of guilt and sad because what happened to her and she instead of freeing him of that, worsens it. She never let him go and that consequently affected InuYasha's development and thus a bit of Kagome's. I can understand that Kikyo may had been bitter at first, but even after she "changed" she still guilt-tripped him. Great development indeed *sarc*

I know right? Its really irritating. Because when you point out these faults (in her writing) you are accused of “hating” her. And bullshit comparisons are made to Sesshoumaru and Kouga. Like naah man I’ve loved plenty of other characters who were similar to Kikyou- Kagura, Roy Mustang, Scar, Lust, Ai Enma. And they all were waay better developed than she was because they were all called out on their actions and NOT brainlessly glorified by their authors at other characters’ expense.

One more thing I detest is how the plot bends to her will. Even when she does stupid things (like giving Naraku the jewel) the plot is changed half way so that her plan works. Kagome nearly killed him with just two arrows when Kikyou was too busy acting twagic. Instead of killing him herself she comes up with this bs plan that is not foreshadowed or supported with canon evidence anywhere. (how does Kikyou know that purifying naraku with the jewel is the only way? She didn’t even know that wishing on the jewel requires a selfsless wish!). 

But instead of running smack dab into reality (as a good character would) hey Kikyou is actually right and the bs plan that came out of her ass IS the only way to defeat Naraku. Ugh.

[sweet61]

I honeslty don't understand how people can like Kikyo. She hurt many innocent people and did she care? No. And when people pull that dead-crap, I just hate that so much. Kohaku was technically dead but he was ate-up with guilt for his actions that he didn't even have any CONTROL over. Kikyo knew full well what was doing the entire time, and never showed any remorse, she was just sad Sayo had to "see her like that".

Yeah when Takahashi was trying to make her shitty comparison between Kohaku and Kikyou I was thinking “Is she SERIOUS??!!” Especially when you consider that Kikyou was planning to get Kohaku to sacrifice himself to gain her goal.

I never understood how some people can shout "I hate Kagome, she's the worst!"

When this is literally Kagome

DEFINITION of "She's literally just a girl fr", she goes through so much, and I love her. She has her flaws but she's also literally a teenage girl in a Rumiko Takahashi anime, people need to cut her some slack LMAO She's literally so kind and silly, while simultaneously being a badass who does the absolutely best she can with how much is on her plate. (Which is a LOT)

If you ever see someone slandering Kagome THAT IS NOT ME.

[ellipsiseffervescent]

Not liking Kagome is a red flag full stop

[llbragorl-deactivated20180202]

the best scene in inuyasha was when kikyo made her soul stealers hold kagome to a tree while she made out with inuyasha that shit was crazy af

[chinese-dumbelle]

Forcing a kiss on someone is not making out. And making someone unconscious so that you can drag them and do whatever is like putting drugs in their drink.

[inuyasha-sitboy]

Kikyo only wanted Inuyasha to become human so they could live an ordinary life together & she could live in peace with Inuyasha. Kikyo loved him even as a half demon. It was because of Kikyo's feelings for Inuyasha that Kagome was born.

(Part 2) However, it seems we won’t agree on this. Not trying to start a stan war. Just trying to make you understand. Let’s agree to disagree. 

Kikyo wanted Inuyasha to use the jewel to become fully human because she believed it would be relieving them both of their problems (Kikyo would no longer be an outside due to having to protect the jewel, and Inuyasha would supposably no longer be an outsider due to no longer being a half demon). I say supposably because if humans could not accept him as a half-demon, I feel like they would not accept him as an ex-demon either. 

Anyways, though Kikyo believed using the jewel would provide them both with relief, I believe it was sort of selfish of her to want to “experiment” on Inuyasha in order to gain her own benefit. She seemed to be under the impression that she was doing good for both of them, but I can’t help but feel it was not an act of love due to her unacceptance of Inuyasha’s nature and appearance. Kikyo did not love Inuyasha as a half demon - if she had, she would not have wanted him to change. If you truly love someone, you love them for who they are. This is evident when you compare it to Kagome, she truly loved Inuyasha as a half demon and would not want him to change even if given the option. Kikyo, however, could not accept Inuyasha as a half demon during their companionship. She did not accept him until later in the series when she saw how much he was changing and maturing as a person (due to Kagome’s love, let me just add). This change was the reason Kikyo eventually did begin to fall in love with Inuyasha, even as a half demon, and I believe that this love was not romantic, but rather platonic. She was proud of him, but she did not want to be with him. She accepted that he had moved on. 

Kikyo’s feelings have nothing to do with Kagome’s birth. The only thing Kikyo really has to do with Kagome is her ability to travel between the well and this is only because Kikyo’s body was burned with the jewel and then reincarnated into Kagome’s body - it had nothing to do with Kikyo’s feelings towards Inuyasha. I really do not see how one can believe that Kikyo’s feelings were the cause of Kagome’s birth, but that’s just my opinion. 

I don’t mind that you (or anyone else for that matter) ship InuKik - I enjoy their love for one another as well - I just do not believe that their love is romantic. There is nothing wrong with platonic love, it is just as good and just as important as romantic love. 

[sweet61]

THANK YOU! The Kagome was born because of Kikyou thing is just an excuse for people to skip over the fact that Kikyou did none of what Kagome did for Inuyasha. http://sweet61.tumblr.com/post/87465632345/debunking-part-1 http://inukagkids.tumblr.com/post/113236811414/deeriie-kikyo-and-kagome-literally-have-the-same Also if Kikyou loved him why didn’t she make the wish HERSELF?

[inuyasha-sitboy]

Why do people like Kikyo? I always thought she was so mean to Kagome. I hated seeing Kagome hurt.

Honestly, I can’t really answer why people like Kikyo because it is an extremely subjective topic. The reasons I like her could be the reasons someone else hates her, just like how the reason someone hates her could be why someone else loves her. It really all depends on the person. 

That being said, I feel like people look at Kikyo’s behaviour towards Kagome at the beginning of the series and immediately label her a “bitch” for the rest of the episodes without even thinking about why Kikyo was acting the way she was. She could be mean to Kagome, but when you put it in perspective, it makes sense. Kikyo was resurrected only to see that the person who she believed had betrayed her was now seeing someone else who looked like her. That’d be tough. Imagine if you were Kikyo in that situation!  

I think people fail to realize that Kikyo acted in a very human way. It’s very normal for an ex to be rude to their exes new partner. Yes, it sucks watching someone be mean to a character you admire, but it would suck more if RT made characters unrealistic just so that everyone would be nice to Kagome. 

As the series progresses though, Kikyo’s rudeness to Kagome definitely dies down. By the middle of the series, she begins to notice how strong Kagome is. She is the one who tells Tsubaki to not doubt Kagome’s strength in episode 61 (I believe). That’s massive for Kikyo. Only a few episodes later, she even ask herself how Kagome is so strong while they are in the belly of the priestess sealer. 

Towards the end of the series, I would argue that Kikyo isn’t even rude to Kagome anymore. She really backs off and appreciates Kagome and her strength. The fact that she practically passed the job of killing Naraku to Kagome during the final battle is huge, especially when considering how Kikyo was determined for so long to be the one to finish Naraku - she believed for so long that she was the only one who would be able to. It is incredible how much Kikyo believed in Kagome, she knew Kagome could and would defeat Naraku. 

I really like the development between the two of them to be honest. 

[chinese-dumbelle]

Yeah but she NEVER apologized to Kagome for the absolutely DISGUSTING way she treated her. She UNDID everything Kagome worked hard and sacrificed so much for (education, family, modern comforts). Kagome almost destroys Naraku. Kikyou gives him a new body. Kagome collects most of the shards. Kikyou gives them to Naraku. She tried to kill her, insulted her, guilt tripped the man she loved by claiming his life and never taking those words back despite three different people telling her that Inuyasha was suffering from guilt over her death. Being disgusting and selfcentered right until the end she never apologized or made up for any of that. Kagome had a LOT of legitimate resentments towards Kikyou. But on Mt Azusa she is made to swallow the bullshit “oh it was all your imagination so forgive her now though she isn’t sorry enough to swallow her pride and apologize lol” excuse by RT. Both RT and the fandom don’t realize one thing. One good deed or even many does not cancel out a previous bad deed. You have to take responsibility for your past actions and deal with them. Kikyou was never made to do that and Kagome’s legitimate reasons to confront Kikyou were taken away from her.

[chinese-dumbelle]

This scene is so hilarious to me. Kikyou is basically saying that she had never seen Inuyasha in pain or looking sad which is you know complete bullshit.

Inuyasha ALWAYS looks as if he is suffering when he is with her. Three (make that FOUR) people TOLD her about his guilt and sadness. But because she was an emotionally abusive POS she ignored it and didn’t give a flying fuck. She went out of her way to exploit it. And now, just because she’s croaking it, RT expects us to believe she actually cared and is actually deserving of this sanctified and loving passing on.

NOOOPE. She did not take a single opportunity to take back her claim on his life. Not once did she say “hey look, you don’t have to torture yourself for me. I don’t blame you at all.”

Note also my further disgust that Takahashi has him flow this OOC waterfall for Kikyou her precious marysue (the woman who guilt tripped him, the woman he couldn’t be bothered to give his fire rat or stay by and protect even with Naraku almost killing her something like three times) when she did not allow him to cry for the only true friends he has. 

And last but certainly not the least there is her presumptuous and self important “good enough” Oh really? So you really think he has some kind of obligation to give up his life and happiness and protect you?

And this my friends is why I want to vomit all over Kikyou. Also why I was taken in lock stock and barrel when I read this chapter as a teen. A lot of melodrama and gludge with a lot of inconvenient truths swept under that carpet.

Midoriko-sama said it best:

 I’m talking about Kikyou - who died among the awe and tears of people who really shouldn’t have wept for her (if Takabaka wanted to make it realistic, they should have been weeping for Inuyasha’s pain). Yeah, he’d gathered lots of the jewel and killed all of Sango’s village before - but what happened when Kikyou gave him Kagome’s chunk? Kagura happened. Kanna happened. Goshinki happened. Need I remind you the carnage Goshinki reaped in that village, leaving those two little kids orphans before Inuyasha intervened, and several others before that? And of the souls lost to Kanna and lives lost to Kagura? What about the Shinchinintai, and all the villages THEY pillaged? And Musou?! Did Kikyou pay for any of these? Doesn’t look like it to me, seeing little Miss Saint’s death. And now, little miss Tupperware dies, and the angels sing, the children cry, and people who never gave two pennies about her descend on their knees in time-loosing sobbing while their brothers and companions and pack are in grave danger of a newly powered up Naraku. And instead of being ambiguous about her, and their feelings for her, they just go ‘yup, she was great. We should make her a temple and keep a niche of her in our home! She’s the new Padre Pio! I wonder if praying to her will cure my syphillis’. 

It makes me so happy to know that even people who were reading the manga when it came out could see and call out this garbage for what it was. You can read the whole thread here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20150730152245/http://www.iyfanfiction.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=347&sid=410133f1ed739657ff67f6b91a6337d5

There is of course the typical Kikyou fan whose argument can be summed up as: Yeah she killed innocent people, yeah she contributed to the deaths of many people, yeah she never atoned in any way but she’s a good person! Really! 

Rest of that thread is great though.

[chinese-dumbelle]

This is so much bullshit. Now I’m talking about the manga here. First and foremost Kagome gave Inuyasha something like THREE DIFFERENT chances to go with Kikyou. He rejected them each time. And if he is still desperately in love with her its hilarious how he leaves her to get her ass kicked all over the countryside by Naraku. 

If he loved Kikyou he would be with BE with Kikyou.

And everybody knows the Kaou arc was bullshit out of RT’s ass designed to make her precious self insert look better.

ok???? lmao 

[chinese-dumbelle]

#Like I still don’t like Kagome and I’m still more focused on InuKik than InuKag so like … ok bye

Oh so you just ignore what you don’t want to see. Explains why you are going on with this bs about Kagome forcing Inuyasha to “choose”

Like I said she gave him more than her fair share of opportunities to just choose Kikyou. Not her fault that he doesn’t have the guts to just choose and protect Kikyou. You know even when she has a chronic case of Too Dumb To Live TM Its irritating how dumb Kikyou fans pretend  that Kagome did not give INuyasha chances to make things clear to her and make a clean break, If anything she’s the one always giving him space and he’s the one always crowding in on her. The only time she acts all jealous gf  is when she says she “allowed” him to see Kikyou. And that happened only once and it was pretty OOC when it did.
