Every Time I See This Frame I Die A Little

Every time I see this frame I die a little

Jaken trying to catch fish (how cute! Look!) while Rin spurs him and is being as happy as she's never been before, goooooooood, this kid is living the greatest adventure a child would only dream of

AND

This story is just a little simple cute thing, but there's this touch of magic in it

I can't give the honest fully informed opinion I would want to since I have yet to read the manga but I feel like people are a bit unfair with regards to Kikyo. Okay, true, she didn't accept (or totally understand) Inuyasha's nature in its wholeness, she could really consider him capable of such an awful betrayal, but you are failing to see that this woman was not less split of Inuyasha, she was wrong but her try was genuine, she did want to have faith, she did love Inuyasha, and the fact that her heart was not strong enough at that time doesn't mean that her feelings were not true or real. And, just to be clear, I'm 100% inukag, but still.

Four Seasons p. 15

Since today's my birthday (just the day after Kagome's, feel so honoured) I'll bend the rules and post a panel from Four Seasons although it's not Sunday. This one is in all probability my favorite dialogue by far, because Rin is exactly like that, with this genuine respect towards any form of life of course but for death too. Such is the main difference between her and Sesshomaru. Centenarian daiyoukai though he may be, even with all his vast knowledge of the world, death is the one thought still eluding his mind, and in this regard young woman Rin, as a mortal, more, a mortal who's already died twice before, is much more experienced and thus you may almost say that she is in fact older than him (don't get me wrong, I'm NOT suggesting with that to endorse the whole sessrin thing as if it had no problems, of course you are free to enjoy that if you want to, but not at the cost of having your critical sensibility thrown away for some foolish fandom fighting, because you can't tell me that since by blood and law either Rin is not Sesshomaru's daughter then he has no power over her, my goodness, that girl trusts him completely and has idolized him since ever, how can you possibly fail to see a minefield ahead even taking for good that growing older she would be wiser?).

"Within the Numbered Days", chapter 1, on ao3

Yep, I like a lot seeking such connections with other fanfics. That's what I mean by saying that I enjoy those sessrin fanfics which bring to light aspects of these two characters that you can acknowledge as true even without liking them as a couple.
