someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue

I like how even when there's a gender dividing screen for their sleeping quarters, Inuyasha always sits right on the dividing line so he can keep an eye on everyone

Knight+princess compilation to feed my current high fantasy hunger

sometimes instead of “why can’t they just be friends” i think it should be “why can’t they also be friends” because sometimes shipping feels much too much like forcing two pretty characters to kiss and be intimate without actually being interested in the dynamic the two people have. what about hanging out together. what about why they like being in each others company. what do they argue about. how do they patch things up. what do they laugh about.

Super quick traditional pencil sketch I l coloured digitally. Just a doodle with an equally quick colouring, thought I'd share it on here ✨️

i think a lot about the chapters where kikyo is first resurrected, when kaede asks inuyasha to tell her about the true nature of his and kikyo's relationship, and he recalls seeing her smile:

kaede posits that he's remembering the love he felt for her, but his thoughts are more troubled than fond. the line "for the first time in my life, i felt like i'd done something wrong" especially hits for me - he's not occupied with thoughts of past love, he's occupied with guilt - i.e., the "nagging" feeling.

in contrast:

even his physical reactions differ, from a nervous expression (accompanied with the "gulp" sfx) to a light blush and a feeling of contentment. in later chapters he elaborates on this feeling, telling kagome that he feels light and relieved when he's with her. inuyasha is told that what he feels for kikyo must be "love," but love, for him, is the rare feeling of peace.

A random Kagome from a WIP, plus weird color manipulation for fun. I usually tinker a lot with my sketches, especially with the dimention (I have an unhealty relationship with the option "resize" on my scanner/printer) an I end up with lots of copies of the same drawing. This is from a current project but I wanted to color it indipendently!

Omg I had so much fun going back to my roots recently!!! Here's a bunch of screenshot studies of Inuyasha, my first introduction to anime and drawing <3 I would not be the artist I am today without him! Feel free to put in the comments/tags what your first anime was ^_^

"It's just a TV show" maybe to you. I absorbed it into my soul though.

In the last week and a half, I have: 1) moved to the first home that I’ve ever owned and not rented, and more importantly, 2) adopted a li’l black cat that I named Kiki. 🥹

She is a 6-pound snuggle monster and purring machine. I’ve had her for three days and I love her so much.

[mustardyellowsunshine]

You ever wanna just squeeze your human real tight cause it's the first time you've seen her in like three years?

Yeah

POOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey hon, what happened to your X account? I tried to message you and found the account gone 😭

Aw, sorry about that! I deleted it a couple months ago, along with my FB account (that I had apparently had since 2007, jeezum criminy). But I migrated over to BlueSky if you're interested in checking that out: https://bsky.app/profile/robinbirbs.bsky.social

I can't pretend I'm super active on there, but I'm at least as active as I used to be on my fandom Twitter.

The queen is here!!!

I can’t unbox her, because I’d just have to immediately pack her up again (hi, I’m moving), but she’s here!
