Irithiel: She’s a gentle soul that would do anything to make sure her Riders were all right. No matter the cost.
Right side brain: There is nothing else and will never be anything else but Elf Mommy.
Left side brain:
😂, Irithiel would definitely have an amusing time if she were to be called Elf Mommy— I think I made a snippet of Irithiel reacting to being called mommy on the old blog… I’ll reblog it if I find it. Though, to be fair, she’d be more impressed than anything if the MC had the guts to call her that to her face; especially since a lot of people are too intimidated to talk to her directly.
I’m glad you like Irithiel (I believe anyway)! I can’t wait for you to interact with her more!
Hi there! I feel really weird for asking this but will it be possible to romance Rohan even after punching her at the end of the demo? I hate her for taking 1V1 yet I love her and her complexity. Because hooooly Santa Claus shit is this an S Tier ranked Enemies to Lovers situation 😱
punching rohan once doesn't lock you out of the romance - it's only if you keep hitting xem after that you'll be locked out
Y’know what’s funny? After going through all that trouble to pretty much turn on Inuyasha and Kagome to presumably protect his daughters, the flippin’ forest still got burned down! Sesshomaru went from being my second favorite character to my least. So you’re telling me him and Inuyasha couldn’t take our Kirinmaru together? Post-Final Act with their upgraded swords? I don’t care what his reason is going to be cuz I ain’t goddamn Rin — Fuck Sesshomaru for what he did.
That’s exactly what I’m thinking?? Sesshomaru & Inuyasha are on good enough terms to team up and stop the comet, but they somehow can’t just team up to fight Kirinmaru and Zero?? Sesshomaru was never one to make weird mysterious plans when he had enemies... Naraku had the whole jewel and Sesshomaru still went straight to fighting him? Is Kirinmaru really more powerful than Naraku + the shikon jewel? He’s supposed to be as powerful as Toga, and Sesshomaru and Inuyasha with their upgraded swords like you said, should be as powerful as their father...
Also since this is going by anime-canon, in the Panther devas arc Sesshomaru had a whole army of allies with him? If Kirinmaru is really extremely powerful, can’t he just ask these yokai for help again??
(P1) So I finished Inuyasha the Final Act on Memorial weekend (my birthday weekend) but I still haven’t gathered my thoughts entirely! Yet I do I want to tell you about a theory I came up with while remembering The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass movie! Though it’s hard to decide which is my favorite since Swords of an Honorable Ruler was just as totally amazing, Castle Beyond the Looking Glass is the only one with Naraku.
[i’m going to be adding all the op’s parts of the ask below the cut to this post so it stays singular]
(P2) Spoilers everyone but the way Naraku tricked Inuyasha’s group and Kaguya, their mutual foe at the time, was downright epic. My jaw literally hit the floor from the shock and Naraku erased any doubt in my mind on his legit villainy from there on out! Anyway, I didn’t consider this at the time but now that I’ve had time to digest and better understand Naraku as a character, I’ve come up with a theory about why he intervened when Kaguya attempted to possess Kagome. (P3) Kaguya, a demon who absorbed and impersonated a celestial maiden, wanted to do the same to Kagome for her spiritual powers. By the end of the confrontation she was desperate, since her physical body had been destroyed. Naraku had already come out of Kohaku, but promptly got his tentacle butt kicked by Kaguya. Instead, he retreats to the shadows to let Inuyasha fight it out. (P4) The thing is, Naraku re-emerges behind Kagome as soon as Kaguya’s disembodied form isolates her from Inuyasha and the gang. I never understood why he didn’t continue hiding until AFTER she took over Kagome, THEN absorb her. Kagome’s powers would’ve been his as well if he’d just done that! (P5) My theory why? Because Narkag! Is it just me or has Naraku treated Kagome just like Inuyasha had in the beginning of the series: a Kikyō imitation, a knockoff. The difference is Naraku and Kagome remained enemies, it’s not until the Kikyō finally dies that he focuses and becomes kinda obsessed with Kagome. Or did he? I’m likely reading too much into this but I believe Naraku indirectly protected Kagome that one and only instance. (P6) This movie is set before Mount Hakurei and not long after he took back Musō/Reincarnated Onigumo, so he hardly had control over his human feelings for Kikyō. It’s likely he thought he was doing one thing when he was actually doing another. After all, he did call Kagome an impudent wench at the start of the film! The jewel could’ve manipulated him into saving her as well. Naraku and Kagome were what it ultimately desired, and in the worst way possible, Narkag was supposed to endgame. (P7) Therefore, Naraku successfully killing Kagome was out of the question. (P8) P.S. Sorry for dropping this bomb on you, but blame Rumiko Takahashi and her amazing characters! P.S.S. As shit as this theory may be, I kinda wanna make it my first fanfic. P.S.S.S. Have you ever played Doki Doki Literature Club? Now that’s another amazing villain/hero ship! Not to spoil it if you don’t know what it is or haven’t played it, but the main antagonist’s love interest/obsession...goddamn is it a visual horror novel masterpiece.
wow, this is a really long ask! sorry it took so long to answer - not only have i been on & off hiatus, but i also needed some time to process the volume of this information lol
to start, i don’t really consider the movies to be canon, so it’s hard to discern movie info vs. the most valid canon material (the manga)
that being said, a bitch loves narkik, so
i remember that part of the movie lmao and it fed my narkag heart... it’s totally cool interpretation to apply the dynamics of onigumo’s human heart to those circumstances, how they might have compelled naraku to protect kagome in that moment
i think that narkik i think was /initially/ endgame; what the jewel didn’t expect was that naraku would express so much agency, to the point of killing kikyou. it’s arguable that kikyou’s soul reincarnating into kagome is the jewel’s way of trying to force that dynamic back again, bc yes, it ultimately needs a priestess vs. demon battle to fuel itself, and it wanted kikyou’s soul w/o recognizing that kagome was a separate individual. so yeah!!! during the majority of the series, narkag is supposed to be endgame, but only bc it couldn’t have kikyou
“naraku successfully killing Kagome was out of the question” you are CORRECT sir dot gif!!!!! the jewel wouldn’t let him do it!!!!! hell his human heart wouldn’t let him do it!!! our boy has always been fücked
i have never played doki doki literature club!!! not sure i will (games aren’t really my thing) but should the interest ever arrive??? knock knock app store
thank you so much for this!!! your enthusiasm about the most valid most complex and most iconic of all inuyasha ships is grand :’)
Y’know, everything you said about Moroha is exactly how I feel! As much as I looooove Sesshomaru, the fact that Inuyasha and Kagome’s daughter is kind of secondary compared to the concerns of Towa and Setsuna is disconcerting for me. Like, BRO, tell me why Inuyasha and Kagome aren’t around to raise their daughter! Now if it turns out some shit went down that they’ll unveil in S2, I’ll eat my works but atm I need to know what happened to our main five. Immediately. ASAP.
We’re literally asking for crumbs!!! I don’t need to know where inukag is for now I just want someone to acknowledge the fact that they are missing! Everyone’s acting like nothing’s wrong it’s driving me nuts...
Also I forgot to mention it in my long rant but I thought it was super weird that Mama Higurashi said “Give my regards to Kagome if you see her”... Why “if”?? Why the doubt??
I just realized two things! 1) What if Kirinmaru is in the present era because Inuyasha used the Medo on him and maybe even Sesshomaru. It might also sorta explain why Sesshomaru is inside the tree. 2) In the opening, Inuyasha is glaring a hole in the back of Sesshomaru’s head. This next episode is gonna be NUTS.
Oh I didn’t think about the meido!! I don’t know if it can be used to travel through time tho, the only time it did that was in the last chapter and it was because it was linked to the shikon jewel and the well? But I do wonder if it could be used to get inside the sacred tree!
Oh yeah there’s definitely something going on between the brothers 👀
Is no one gonna put respect on Buyo’s name? That cat is still around and still as plump as ever! ALSO! Kagura might totally be the mom if Mei and Sentana we’re living in the first on their own! Maybe not, but also “Beniyasha” is such an adorable title 🥰🥰
I love how we were all scared Sunrise was gonna kill off all the OG characters, turns out they won’t even let Buyo die LMAO
I think you meant Towa and Setsuna but yeah we have no idea who and where their mother is :’’’)
I’m glad Inuyasha is loved again!! We’ve had a pretty solid fandom presence on tumblr for years tho, it was never truly dead!
