So a couple of posts ago I put up a rather gushing review of the sequel to my favorite anime. x3  Since then, my writing muse has been nonstop flooding my brain with fanfiction ideas, mostly little fluffy romantic thoughts and missing moment stuff featuring Sesshomaru and Rin and their family...and as I take any excuse to grab the fickle and rare jewel that is motivation to write, a small but growing collection of short stories has come to fruition. x3
I wanted to share it here as I share all my fanfics (if not directly, there’s still a link to my FF.net if anyone would like to peruse x3), but as I lurk around the fanworks, I still see a lot of by-now ridiculous hate towards what is a very beautiful (and very canon) love story, that I was hesitant to do so.
Then I thought, “Wait...if I don’t post, that means I’m letting the haters win.
Can’t have that, can we?!”
The Sun, the Moon and the Ages
So there’s a link on my AO3 to my Inuyasha/Yashahime inspired short story collection for my fellow like-mindeds.  It’s also on my FF.net!  Both collections are updated at the same time, whenever I do, which has been lately roughly five to seven days or so between stories. x3  I hope you all find it and enjoy. ^.^
Letting my fellow fans know that I’m not easily intimidated by toxicity. :3

Kikyou in the anime purpose Was to get rid of demons and help humans, as a priest it Was her duty so don't mixt duty with kindly.
Kikyou angry is iconic and the point of her character, even in manga she is still angry, so it's up to İnuyasha and the rest to put her soul to rest.
Kikyou was a shadow of revenge, body of clay, her relation with İnuyasha was over since the day Kikyou died and İnuyasha was put on a spell , but she didn't told him it was over and that he should move on, in the early episode of the anime, that is why they still saw each other for some moore episodes and doing things like hugs and kisses.
If Kikyou was fair she would have joined İnuyasha and the rest as soon as she found out the truth and told Inuyasha that he has another girl that loves him very much but no, she did not! Kikyou wasn't even a person in flesh, her duty as a priest didn't exist anymore, but she had choosen it anyway...
Even when Kikyou in the end dies in İnuyasha arms they still kiss, like come on, wasn't already over between you two?
Kikyou was made to be the other woman, the reason why Inuyasha could not move on, the toxic love and this is one of the reasons why the anime is special.
Kikyou is angry and can't accept a no and wants to steal lnuyasha, even when she still does priest duties, she still wants İnuyasha especially after she finds out he did not killed her and it was in fact Naraku.
That is why this works so well with Kikyou and we can't see her as anything more because Kikyou is already perfect, in showing you a really toxic,with flaws and even a desperate woman that makes mistakes, is jealous and can't accept thst Inuyasha is in love with another girl.
After all being kind and lovely doesn't suit her at all!
I have other questions that must wait in the queue for answers, because I haven't heard such nonsense for a long time.
Kikyou anime and Kikyou manga are very different from each other. This is very visible. But a person like you transcribes the characteristics of your kagome, who couldn't move on and used sit because she was jealous of the dead woman.
Kikyou was angry at first, but she directed her anger and anger towards Naraku and him only, she wanted revenge for herself and Inuyasha. He destroyed her life, even if Kikyou's body was fake, kindness and goodness were still inside her.
She was finally a free woman, able to hate and love. She was no longer limited by anything, and she helped people and even aagome become stronger, she even predicted that Naraku would want kagome's eyes, she gave her an arrow, she helped Team Inuyasha as much as she could, she saved the lives of many lives.
She saved Miroku knowing it would harm her, but she didn't have the biggest problem with it. She took risks. Just like she risked her plan to give Naraku the jewel to send him to hell.
Tumblr media
What nonsense. Kikyou is the 1st woman in Inuyasha's life. Kikyou's soul is in this Kagome's body, she has her power, it was thanks to her soul that Kagome found herself in those times and fell in love with Inuyasha. Kikyou is the core here that you are trying to erase from me by making her an angry, insignificant character with no development.
Kikyou can't move on and is still jealous,ftw.
Tumblr media
Here Kikyou wanted to leave knowing that her friends were worried about Inuyasha and said that she had to go. It was Inuyasha who hugged her. Of course they have kisses and hugs that are really wonderful. Who kissed Kikyou in her final death? She did it? Or maybe she asked him to? Because I only remember that Inuyasha did it and she said, "You came to me, that's enough," letting him know that it's good that she can see him for the last time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He just lost a woman who loved him all over the world, it's obvious that he wanted to talk to her and say goodbye one last time. He apologized to her for failing to save her. Inuyasha and Kikyou needed a moment like this.
NO. There was no end between them because they were caught up in the intrigue. They didn't break up. They were deceived, even though they hated each other at the beginning, the love between them still exists, as the entire series showed.
I understand that inuyasha should leave her just because there is kagome he has, but she is the reincarnation of Kikyou and there is no reverse. Kikyou is first and she will always be second and Kikyou will ALWAYS be more important in the world.
I can't understand that you and the others are making Kikyou look like a bad person, and I honestly don't see any hatred for what naraku does. Kikyou is like Sango and Miroku, he ruined her life and hers. She is as much a victim as anyone else.
Of course… It's Kikyou who won't let him go, you're absolutely right, right, right (scarcasm)
meanwhile kagome after kikyou's death
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kikyou who wanted to leave him and Kagome who wouldn't let him leave the woman he loved because of her jealousy for her. won't give him to anyone, don't let him go to her even though he knows she loves him, because he can't leave her.
Marriage.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kagome's beautiful and sad face, full of pain and jealousy. They still haven't talked about it, their silent and sad faces say it all. Kagome is still jealous and had to sit down her husband, right? She still doesn't know how to talk about her being her reincarnation. She will never accept it, she will never accept that inuyasha still loves kikyou more than her and it is eating her up from the inside. She's the one who can't move on. If that was the case, she would take off his beads and she could talk about the situation normally, but he doesn't tell her anything about things related to Kikyou because it always ends like this, Kagome, sad, hurt, furious, uses sieves to take out her frustration on her husband although Kikyou is no longer a threat to her, she cannot accept InuKik's love and never will.
Everything you describe fits your lovely and not at all toxic and uncontrollable and eternally jealous kagome (scarsm)
I can see how Kikyou from an angry person becomes calmer and kinder, and her anger and anger are directed towards the right person, i.e. Naraku.
Kikyou never forces Inuyasha to be with her. She herself wants to destroy Naraku by refusing Inuyasha because she is taught to do so. She had to cope all her life, take care of the village and her younger sister. No one helped them, she had been taught this all her life, not to rely on others but to take matters into her own hands. When she did this, her weakness was exploited by the jealous Onigumo.
Kikyou was jealous in the beginning but later it's not like that you can't see that your kagome you are talking about is jealous from the very beginning of the story till the end. She has always been jealous and hurt overall Inuyasha is angry and Kikyou is a 'witch' who gets in the way of 'true love' because Kikyou and Inuyasha actually love each other Kagome is using Kouga's feelings to make Inuyasha jealous and it's okay that she is using another's feelings a guy she doesn't love and she's toying with him just to make Inuyasha jealous.
It wouldn't make sense for Kikyou to join the team because Kagome is there! So why would she be there? Kagome wouldn't let her do that due to her morbid jealousy.
For you, the anime is good because it shows Kikyou as a typical series rival of the main character, where she is the worst, while the truth is different. Kikyou is lovely and kind, full of love and a very complex character undergoing real character development, while the 'other woman' stands still, still jealous of the dead woman, and keeps her husband on a leash, not trusting him, but talking about trust.
She wanted revenge, but she also took revenge and gave up revenge to save Kohaku's life over destroying naraku
Tumblr media
Kikyou cleansed the jawel, saving Kohaku's life, even after death she was among them and supported them.
Inuyasha will never stop loving Kikyou, it's time to come to terms with it! I really don't care about the ships in this series. I think he loved them both, but Kikyou more, and Inukag is toxic on Kagome's side. She is the problem here, but she never notices it instead of accepting that she is second and will always be second. Accept what she knows from the beginning. Jealousy is a natural thing, but it's time to accept the fact that she will be the other woman and Inuyasha will never love her as much as Kikyou loved her.
Kikyou is kind and lovely unlike that 'other woman'
Oh, and what's more important. That wasn't her goal in the anime at all. Because I read an interview with director inuyasha who hated her and didn't understand her, for him she should be dead and that's why Kikyou is like that in the anime. Sunrise hated her and the director he was drawing , for example, for episode 33 ( the episode where Kikyou gives the jewel to Naraku) i don't remeber which episode.. is... but there in the final scene Kikyou has an infinite hand. He really hated her. Sunrise was very biased towards Kikyou and they really hated her.
The anime is simply perfect for you because it shows her the way you want, because you like her that way, when in the manga she is a completely different character.

I think people seriously underestimate how much Inuyasha's feelings towards Kagome is a direct result of her holding Kikyo's soul. Despite what Inuyasha might say about seeing them separately, there are multiple times where he's fully aware that his desperate need to protect Kagome stems from his failures with Kikyo.
Tumblr media
I feel like in his own way, in order to somehow forgive himself after Kikyo's death, the only way he could make up for his failures was to completely dedicate himself 100% to protecting Kagome. And he feels like he needs to be there to always catch her, since she was literally born for him outta Kikyo's wish to have a normal life.
Tumblr media
After Kikyo dies, Kagome is all he has left of her memory, after all.

are you aware of the news about ice adolescence? 😢 https://x.com/yurionice_pr/status/1781155766172565922?s=46&t=ac2O9C_-GJTV6PWIC_PMqg
I did hear about this! (for tl;dr Ice Adolescence has been officially cancelled.)
I have so many thoughts about this. First off, DAMN. Because getting to see what made Victor who he is was really cool and exciting!
But.
Russian skating has been plagued with doping scandals, and the Kremlin are invading sovereign countries and committing war crimes in them. I'd not be comfortable watching a movie about a Russian skating hero given what is happening there, which is not only broadly bad but specifically bad in skating. And that's not even mentioning Russia's disturbing (and escalating) record on LGBTIQ+ issues.
Second, it's been hard to be a Yuri on Ice fan in most spaces, because so much of what we see on social media is Mappa Where is Ice Ado?! and that gets really exhausting. It's hard to look for cute art and fun stories and meta about a series I adore when I have to slog through so much complaining and hatred of a series I love because the movie was indefinitely paused. Hopefully now that there is an answer, fans who are still creating and still trying to show their love for the incredible 12-episode gift we got of the original series will be what we see when we search the tags.
And finally, I'm originally a fan of Inuyasha. Inuyasha got a sequel, and the build up and hype coming into that was high. We got to see InuKag kid?! AHH! And then... the series arrived and (to put it lightly) did not meet expectations. And it caused an eruption of discourse in the fandom. Lots of creators left because they were being demanded to take part in ship wars and pro-anti wars and threw up their hands. So we left feeling less love for the original series based on the disappointment (and frankly, tomfoolery) of the fandom.
Am I disappointed? Yes. Because I love Yuri on Ice. I love Yuuri and I love Victor so so much.
Will this announcement do anything to reduce my love of Yuri on Ice? Absolutely not. It gives me more drive to create for the series, and to build their little world for myself since I now know that those 12 wonderful episodes (and amazing audio drama and manga!) might be what I get, and they can serve as a foundation for building my own little wonderful Yuri on Ice world with words.

I apologise for asking this if it isn't something you want to talk about but do you know why there is so much hatred for Kagura from so many S*ssr*n shippers/HnY fans? I haven't seen HnY because I don't like sequels that take away the happy ending of the original so I only know a few spoilers through the grapevine, but the Kagura hate I've seen lately from some HnY fans reminds me of anti-Kikyou Inukag shippers from twenty years ago. But Inukag shippers are more supportive of Kikyou nowadays and fandom in general is less misogynistic than it used to be, so I don't understand why another woman being important to Sesshoumaru in the original Inuyasha series is so unacceptable that Kagura gets hate now. Even if people ship S*ssr*n, love isn't a finite resource? Sesshoumaru loving and wanting to avenge Kagura doesn't mean he can't love anyone else, it doesn't diminish his other relationships—especially because Rin was a literal eight-year-old child when Kagura was alive. It's not like Kagura was a yandere type who harmed Sesshoumaru or anyone else he cared about, either, after a while Rin knew she had nothing to fear from Kagura and was squee'ing about Kagura being in love with Sesshoumaru.
Again, I apologise for how long this question was and sending it on Anon, I just didn't want to get hate from S*ssr*n shippers or HnY fans. Kagura's my favourite Inuyasha character, so it made me sad to browse the Inuyasha reddit/tumblr and see people calling her a 'manipulative bitch' and such when I went looking for fanart and fic about her. It's especially strange coming from people who praise other former villain characters like Sesshoumaru, who did worse things than Kagura when he was evil.
hello buddy sorry this is late i literally did not see it??
but since i'm obviously on the opposite end of the spectrum in this situation & have only really been involved in the tumblr iy fandom for so many years, the only thing i know about any of that drama is that she's perceived as a threat to their yucky ship bc she was really the canon love interest for sesshomaru in the og series. and kagura is obviously the polar opposite of rin in literally every aspect. like, we have a demoness that was born from the body of the main villain who comes out the gate swinging on koga's entire family & is forced to beef with the whole inugang constantly and calls sesshomaru a bitch to his face the second time they meet. versus a cute lil baby who's a complete blank slate. so for people that don't care for her bc of their ship bias it's pretty easy to misinterpret her character & motivations and draw silly conclusions lmao. i'm not gonna say kagura isn't problematic in some ways but LITERALLY WHO CARES it's not that serious?? pretty much everyone in IY has done morally questionable shit. it's a fairy tale set in feudal japan, like. and it sucks that you're coming across negative bs when you're just trying to enjoy yourself in this fandom!! that happened to me too when i first got back into iy in 2020 bc i didn't know that kagura was like severely hated until i joined an iy group on fb (owned by you-know-who, unbeknownst to me) and saw all that weird shit lmao. but there's a lot of really great creators on tumblr, at least, that are anti-sr & pro-kagura, so i hope that you could at least enjoy yourself on this blog!! <3

AU where Kagome is Kikyo's sister in the feudal era and they're both priestesses (though Kagome is not as trained or high in ranking as Kikyo).
Inuyasha and Kikyo still meet and they develop a friendship and maybe a budding relationship (Kikyo does develop feelings for him). But since Inuyasha has been following Kikyo to get a chance at stealing the Shikon Jewel, he then meets Kagome.
Of course they bicker and Inuyasha notes she's nothing like Kikyo, but at the same time they still develop a bond...maybe one much stronger than that between Inuyasha and Kikyo. Kagome's differences from Kikyo actually endear Inuyasha. She's emotional, open, and accepting and understanding. She loves Inuyasha as himself, all parts of him, human and demon and all. Inuyasha feels at peace, even joyful, with Kagome, and he is overwhelmed by the affection and protectiveness he feels so strongly and quickly for her. They trust strongly, they care deeply, and they love each other greatly.
Kikyo notices everything. Maybe it's for the best, she admits. But inside...it's another story. One part of her, the protective sister and priestess part, is reluctant towards her dear sister getting involved with a half-demon. The other part, one that is more personal and selfish, is jealous of her sister (since Kikyo herself is in love with Inuyasha too) and hurt by Inuyasha and Kagome's flourishing romance. It's another reminder of what she cannot have, of the life she's destined for. The final nail in the coffin. Kikyo of course tries to suppress these feelings and carry on, but as she ignores them they fester. Her turmoil has weakened her powers and ultimately make her a target.
During all this, she's been caring for the wounded bandit Onigumo, who desperately desires her. When demons offer to give him a new body, he readily accepts. Naraku is born and bent on getting rid of Kikyo and taking the Shikon Jewel. Even though Kikyo has weakened, she's still too strong for him. But he knows what's hindering her: her fondness for the half demon Inuyasha, her conflicting emotions over Kagome and Inuyasha, and her secret resentment and frustration over her life. It's ample for him to take advantage of, to make corrupting the jewel and taking the powerful miko down. And, of course, there's the love between the half demon and the second place priestess. All in all, Naraku is licking his chops over what he could do with the situation already bestowed upon him...

The yashamine manga is still going on 😭😭😭. I honestly thought it was finished. This is when you know yashamine killed the inuyasha fandom because it’s been so dead. Like even the tweets for yashamine barley get 2k likes. Even went on rumiko Twitter and the likes for anything yashamine related are so low. Actually most of her tweets have low likes. And I think the kagura post is her only recent post that had huge engagements. The only ones who are still invested are sinners and maybe some inukags who just want to see inuyasha and kagome.
Sadly, it has not finished but it's mostly due because it's a monthly manga. Those take a loooong to finish depending on plot but from I saw with the peak I decided to take, it looks like we reached the part where Zero disguises herself as a ordinary woman to torture Towa. Though, in this case she takes the form of Towa from RT's Mermaid Saga. Which is kinda strange since Rumiko never did big Easter eggs like that in her own mangas last I checked (the studios that adapted her works did though in the animes). More evidence that is a "fanservice work", I say. It's Shiina's version and interpretation of how Yashahime went down after all. He said so himself. Sumisawa is cooperating with him in the script and Rumiko is just credited as main character designer. I'll be honest though, I haven't seen this manga in any ranking and not even in the lower ones. So I don't expect it to last years.
And when it's finally done. It will probably go into obscurity.
Tumblr media
What really bothers though is how much damage this "fanfic" has caused to the brand and it's fandom. It's like when Trump started racing for president and suddenly you got all these bigots coming out of the sewers, the rest is history.
The situation is similar. Most people have just gone and it's all thanks to how awful said fic was. For people like me, Inuyasha was or is literally their go to comfort show. To have that stained and twisted—it was like a mental break. And for most people that damage was irreversible and unforgivable (no going back) and between that and the horrible harassment of pro-hny fans even for things as people just not being into the story...
It was a done deal.
They left.
Because things don't feel the same no more. Some got over it but others even closed their accounts, not even saying goodbye to friends. Complete MIA. All that's left is some good people and ya know the rest.
The RT Kagura twitter post getting so many likes is evidence of what people really prefer. The actual general fandom. I think People wanted Takahashi to know that in some way and they took it. And not just that, the recent Inuyasha or official Japanese anime polls say it all too. The little girl doesn't even reach top...
Like just recently in the Japanese anime characters of all time the only Inuyasha characters that made it were just Sesshomaru and Kikyo. I was surprised that Inukag didn't get a spot this time 🤷🏻‍♀️
On the brightside Shiina has stated once again that "this is his interpretation" to summarize while talking about this chapter on his personal blog.
Just remember "it's a fanfic of a fanfic", don't give it ratio, let it fade into obscurity and support Inuyasha content characters who actually care about the og work. This fandom needs it and you'll be so much better. Trust me.

I am INCREDIBLY concerned by the bittersweet ending tag on No Refunds. Appreciate the tag though, some people don't use tags at all.
I know you can't give out spoilers...so would I, an InuKag shipper, be happy for the couple at the end of the fic?
My dude, I feel you xD I am also incredibly concerned about the ending, ngl. No Refunds isn't like my usual fics, and my husband even made a shocked face when I explained the ending so... fair.
BUT GUESS WHAT
I absolutely can give out spoilers, and I have zero problem with this. I am very pro spoilers, because to me a story isn't any good if it's not worth reading twice. It's the journey, ya know?
(& I drive my husband nuts reading the wiki of show's we're watching because I want to know if I'm gonna like the ending before I get too invested).
But I know not everyone is about that well informed life, so I will pop a quick not-overly specific /context free one sentence summary of why it's bittersweet below the cut. If you're still curious/concerned, please feel free to DM me and I'm more than happy to show you my planning docs or give you a more detailed answer.
The short answer is one of them is dead at the end of the fic.
I will also be adding the tag "Immortality Critical" / "Immortality is a curse".

One thing Inukags like to always claim in their favor is that “Kagome loved and accepted Inuyasha for who he is and didn’t want him to change unlike Kikyo,” when actually this is false on two accounts and Imma tell up why!
1. If Kagome truly does love and accept Inuyasha as a hanyou then why does she treat him like a literal dog instead of just another person like Kikyo did? This proves that she actually does have racial bias against his demon side and doesn’t wholeheartedly accept him as her racial equal the way InuKaggers always try to claim. She literally treats him as if he’s nothing but a low-IQ animal that’s her pet, forgive me for saying this but isn’t this literally racist? If hanyous are an allegory for mixed race people in the real world then Kagome is no different than racist White Saviors who treat the racial minority half of a mixed person as “inherently animalistic,” at least Kikyo never let Inuyasha’s demon side prevent her from treating him as an equal and with the respect a person deserves, he was just another person to her unlike Kagome who racially stereotypes Inuyasha and thinks him being half-dog gives her the right to treat him as one.
2. It’s wrong to say Kagome completely loved and accepted Inuyasha for who he is and didn’t want him to change because what do you call her wanting him to completely forget and throw away his feelings for Kikyo then? Does that not count as “wanting him to change?” His feelings and love for Kikyo are a part of him too and she obviously can’t accept that and constantly tries to change him on that account, meanwhile Kikyo had always accepted that he had “moved on” with Kagome and never tried to guilt-trip him regarding his feelings for Kagome except very early on in the series whereas Kagome was constantly doing the opposite - Kikyo had the grace and was selfless enough to accept Inuyasha’s newfound love for Kagome and never tried to change or sway his feelings, whereas Kagome couldn’t offer him the same courtesy for his feelings for Kikyo.
So all in all it’s incorrect when InuKags say that Kagome loving and accepting Inuyasha for who he is is the one thing she has over Kikyo, in actuality if you really analyze the text it looks more like Kikyo was the one who loved and accepted Inuyasha wholeheartedly from the start unlike Kagome. They always like to bring up Kikyo “asking Inuyasha to wish to become full human” in bad faith, when they know it was merely a suggestion on her part that she thought would make both of their lives easier - not that she wouldn’t still love him if he remained a hanyou. Meanwhile they conveniently ignore any evidence that portrays Kagome not being so wholly accepting of Inuyasha for who he is as they so claim…
Actions speak louder than words, InuKags can say Kagome accepts Inuyasha more for who he is than Kikyo does but the way both girls treat him suggests another story.
very good points

Kikyo also deserved no toxic hate from the radical fans of Inuyasha, especially the Kagome-Inuyasha shippers that have total apathy for her since her revival she decided to kill Inuyasha out of the mistaken assumption that he betrayed and killed her when it was Naraku who shattered their romantic relationship.

They say a look is worth a thousand words and in this case they applied that saying very well.
Another scene that had a slight modification and that alone is enough to change a whole context.
This time we go to chapter 23 of the anime "Kagome's Voice and Kikyo's Kiss" while the manga covers chapter 75-78.
Almost at the end of the chapter after Kagome prevents Kikyo from taking InuYasha to the Underworld the three hold a brief conversation and eventually Kikyo disappears into the dark night led by their soul-hunting snakes.
Before this, Kikyo asks InuYasha if Kagome is more important to him (than her)
In the animation, after this question, InuYasha and Kagome look at each other with a slight blush on their faces, hinting that probably it is and if not, that they both have feelings for each other, it culminates in the same way, with Kikyo leaving and InuYasha yelling his name.
In the manga it's a little different because Kikyo asks InuYasha the same question and he never looks at Kagome, in fact his eyes stay all the time on Kikyo, he never stops watching her until she finally disappears.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You could say it's a small change but this is another proof that the producer of InuYasha's anime had quite repelus to Kikyo and Kagome appreciated her too much, in her own words "Kagome was a heroine, a pure and light-filled woman" while Kikyo was someone "dark and full of anger, related to death and a woman difficult to understand" no wonder Rumiko replicated Ikeda's comments about Kagome because for all the hand he put in when animating the manga, it fit perfectly with his comments, to maintain that image that they had created him in the animation, while Kikyo who in Rumiko's words, "She is the center axis of the story, InuYasha ends and begins with Kikyo" happened to be just the jealous and nosy ex who got into the incipient relationship of inuYasha and kagome.
