Inuyasha: WHAT THE FUCK. I WAS ARGUING WITH KAGOME AND I SAID “OOH YOU WANNA KISS ME SO BAD” AND GUESS WHAT? SHE DID. SHE KISSED ME. WHAT THE FUCK WHAT DO I DO.

Lord Sesshomaru: Wow, Inuyasha constantly missing out on being in a relationship with the love of his life because he's so fucking stupid would be incredibly frustrating if I actually cared

About Dog Ears, Sesshomaru Eating Food, and “Scent.”

Someone asked about Moroha’s red ribbon and why Towa and Setsuna don’t have dog ears despite being half-demons.

Takahashi: As you might expect, Moroha’s ribbon is modeled after Inuyasha. As for Towa and Setsuna’s dog ears, Sesshomaru is humanoid, while half-demon Inuyasha is partially transformed, and since the half-demons that appear in Inuyasha can take a variety of forms, please understand that these are all individualities.

Someone asked about what Sesshomaru eats.

Takahashi: Thank you for the support. What Sesshomaru eats? As expected, nothing really comes to mind. There’s the possibility that he could be absorbing the “spirit” or “essence” of the demons he fought and defeated, or something like haze. Also, fruits are a possibility.

Question: I have a question about the differing usages of “scent” (匂い) and “odor” (臭い). The description of “scent” that Sesshomaru sensed was consistently written as 匂い (nioi) for Rin only and as 臭い (nioi) for others. The smell was also described as “the scent (匂い) of a human” when they first met. This use of “scent,” was it used because he liked the “scent,” like how Inuyasha said that Kagome had “a nice scent (匂い)”?

Takahashi: The image I had was that both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru use “scent” to sort out allies and enemies. Of course, “scent” (匂い) is for friends and “scent” (臭い) is for enemies. On top of that, I basically used “scent” (匂い) for the girl characters in order to give the readers an idea of the characters based on the kanji used. I wanted give them the impression of being cute and clean.

Rumiko Takahashi: "For me, Sesshomaru is a father / parental figure (to Rin)" (March, 2021)

And that's canon. Finally, the author of Inuyasha herself has confirmed her interpretation of Sesshomaru and Rin's relationship as one of father figure/daughter. She could have said that she thought of them as a future couple, but she didn't. She could have said they were just "companions" or "friends" like some people want to interpret their relationship, but she didn't, because she doesn't see them that way. The word she used (Hogosha) is used in contexts related to parents and parental relationships. She had that in mind as she portrayed Sesshomaru and Rin's interactions, and that implies that:

Sesshomaru and Rin's interactions were never intended to be romantic.

The kimonos Sesshomaru gave Rin were NOT courtship gifts. They were gifts from a father to his daughter.

Sesshomaru never cared for Rin because he was in love with her, but because he loved her as his own daughter.

Jaken's taking care of Rin doesn't exclude Sesshomaru from being a father figure.

Sesshoumaru helped raise Rin and he never intended to marry her.

OG Sesshomaru is not a pedophile. He is a protector of children.

So yeah, it's official: they are father and daughter. The rest is a bad fanfic.

Hey you all know about that fungus that possesses ants to make them climb on the tip of grass blades in hopes of getting eaten by a cow, so that the fungus can continue its life cycle in the cow's guts? Because I think that's the kind of thing that's wrong with cave divers.

We don't know what's down there. We don't know what's gotten into their heads that makes them so determined to physically, personally go down there to find out. But I wouldn't entirely dismiss the possibility that whatever has gotten into them is very invested in getting eaten by whatever is down there.

I found like half of this on pinterest and HAD to find the source. Curse pinterest for never having sources to anything, thank you @the-golden-onion for writing this au

Edward should have been the one to attack Bella on her birthday but smeyer was too scared to let her golden boy have any real flaws send tweet

Tbh?? I wish there’d been more romance in the books. I know, it’s literally about romance - but what did we really get?? I know that the entire thing is like Edward and Bella are soulmates and star crossed lovers and everything but we saw them go on one awkward date and that was. That was it and suddenly they’re deeply in love, there’s no lead up to it of them falling in love or getting to know each other or being friends first, where’s the yearning where’s the pining where’s the part where they slowly fall in love w each other

You can survive almost anything through the right combination of:

Bitching and moaning

Hater-ology

Doing a goofy little bit about it

Having a buddy say "that's so fucked up" at intermittent points (you can also be your own buddy)

Destroying the cursed amulet you carry everywhere, why do you even have that thing
