No More Specks Of Green Or Flakes Of Blue And Gold Just Brown Eyes, Deep Dark Brown Eyes Like Soil, Brown

no more ‘specks of green’ or ‘flakes of blue and gold’ just brown eyes, deep dark brown eyes like soil, brown eyes that are so completely dark you can’t differentiate between the pupil, brown eyes that are just brown and only brown and are not forced to ‘be prettier’

And so bizarre how mpreg has been a fandom thing for a long time and a/b/o is so popular, and both can run into the issue of kids as endgame, that instead of using fic to explore situations characterization and themes, albeit mostly centered around romance, it is so common for het fic to just be a replication of the existing narratives of connection and romance. Youd think that Breaking away from that would be just as popular as kink or female centered eroticism in fic but who knows.

Dunno bud, I think there's so many varied stories in the fandom these days, with weird and wonderful AUs and scenarios - that readers just latch onto what they think to be normal and wanting to apply it to any given situation. I remember I got the comment of 'I want to see their kids' on Snake Charmer 😂 friggin Snake Charmer, where the point of the fic was just a short monster kink erotica fic. But I dunno, I've been reading fics outside of the Inuyasha fandom and I haven't ran into one fic that features kids or even mentions them. Some of the fics were from Fire Emblem where its very much expected that the nobels have kids, but even in fics where they're married I haven't come across one. It's just been focused on the couple, and it's been super refreshing.

Yashahime is kind of proof though that this fandom is pretty darn into their ships having kids. Some inu/kags endured the piss poor writing of that show just to get any content of Moroha and catch a glimpse of Inu/kag as a family. I really don't get that mindset of absolutely needing that content *shrugs* the original ending of Inuyasha where it was all - happily ever after, now imagine the rest~ was perfectly valid to me and again, felt like a natural conclusion.

There’s happiness and then there’s realizing that the last ten pages of a scientific paper are just the bibliography.

I hate it when I talk wistfully about the ancient world and then people are like “you wouldn’t survive back then” yeah obviously I would die immediately but do you think achilles would be able to survive in the modern world if he had to send one polite email? no

No context, just posting this high-quality low-effort meme made by my friend @mythicamagic​

Being trapped in the rubble of Yashahime and seeing bad takes pop up like mushrooms after rain sure explains why I’ve got one foot out of the Inuyasha fandom.
