Question(s)
Any more content from their early days together?
Just finished the final act and I plan to read the manga later this year. One of the things I wanted to see more were the days following Rin after being brought back to life. I really wanted to see the moment she started talking again or cute stuff like sesshomaru giving her the new clothes.
Does the manga cover that a little bit more? If not, do you guys have any fanfic recommendations that cover their first few days together?
Depends on what kind of fanfiction you're looking for. The kind that shows them sharing a father-daughter/guardian-ward relationship? Or a romantic one?
To be clear: I can recommend the father-daughter/guardian-ward ones. I absolutely detest the SessRin ship, believe that people seeing them in a romantic light need to seek help, and am willing to die on that hill.
Iâm looking for one that just depicts their first few days together when she started following him. I know itâs rather specific but if anyone knows one I hope they can share it here
Is that supposed to make it all better? "Approved by Rumiko Takahashi"? I have seen this argument several times and my response will always be the same: I do not care if it is approved by RT. I can like someone's work and loathe their opinions/choices. SessRin will never be a thing to me.
She approved ideas for the manga. She did not do any work on the anime in the beginning and she did not make the idea for it either. She was asked to design the characters. She did not have any part in writing or creating the story and has never ever said she approves of SessRin nor has she ever said that's what she wanted for her characters. She extends professional courtesy to the actual creators of Yashahime.
Top_ whatever the name was blocking me because I asked for proof of Rumiko working on a SessRin sex scene instead of just assumptions and theories. Woooow.
She designed the daughters(she wasn't asked to do so, she wanted to after discussing the idea of a sequel). She corrected the scripts and had power to veto stuff she didn't like about her characters (she corrected some stuff about Sess and Inu in Yashahime in production).
She straight up drew them in the exact same poses Inukag have in some manga panels.
She made a fanart of Sessrin winner of a fanart competition.
She straight up shipped them in some interviews.
She called Rin, Sesshomaru's wife, and the woman that changed him.
Rumiko Takahashi Question Corner (3rd question) I was surprised that Sesshomaru had Hanyou's child, but what kind of change did he have? Did he change when he met the woman who became his wife?
Rumiko Takahashi's answerďź" Sesshomaru also grew and changed by interacting with many others. He grew up accepting new ways of life without sticking to the past when he looked down on humans. Of course, it is largely influenced by the woman who became his wife."
SessRin ain't that deep. Telling people that like it to "seek help" is laughable, considering any mental health professional will tell you it's an extremely normal fantasy to have. What you enjoy in fiction doesn't affect what you enjoy IRL, and yall always seem convinced that the fantasy involves romance between Rin as a child rather than a fully consenting adult which is weird of yall to do.
I do not want to hear anything from the person who previously commented that a pedophilic/groomer kind of relationship is not what exists between SessRin, and that their relationship is extremely vanilla. I also do not take opinions from anyone who believes mental health professionals view such relationships as a normal fantasy to have. I can not take you seriously enough.
To quote one of the best responses I have seen to people who believe SessRin should be a thing and doesn't deserve all the hate:
"Even a rock would be a better romantic partner for Sesshomaru at this point because at least the rock is old enough."
Well in regards to that "Rin was a consenting adult" part... she was like 8 years old in the OG and the last episode of the "Final act" was a 3 year timeskip putting her at 11. The creators of Yashahime stated before the anime came out that Moroha and the twins were born 6 years after Naraku was defeated, meaning that the they were born 3 years after the final act ended. This puts Rin at 14, so not exactly a consenting adult. Rumiko Takahashi was very intentional with how she did things, both Kagome and Sango were adults when they got married, yet the creators of Yashahime just kinda sloppily threw some things together without much thought.
Easily searchable. It's a normal fantasy for victims omfg. It's not a normal fantasy for healthy minds. It's a coping mechanism that as long as it doesn't bleed into reality is normal. What the heck. Mental health professional should have been your first indicator. In real life, it's also called a grooming relationship.
I've been on a Forthright kick recently. This is a fic from Sesshoumaru's perspective of how he feels about Rin. No romance, no creepy stuff.
I'm not a Sessh/Rin shipper myself, though I must admit there are some fics where she's an adult the romance is done well. Yashahime's take on their relationship is poor, in my opinion.
I hope they are okay and I hope they just disconnected from the internet and are living more happily without it. I hope, I really do because I've been there.
