Thank you for the sweet message!

Unfortunately for me, who loves concrete rules when it comes to world building, Rumiko Takahashi just doesn't do that. Whatever magic systems are in her stories are just there to serve the characters, story and themes. That's usually why her characters will just develop whatever abilities she thinks are necessary for the plot. Or whatever she thinks will add interesting drama or comedy.

For Naraku it's also definitely a case of "he can't be too strong because Takahashi doesn't want to end the series yet" and "Takahashi kind of forgot because it's been 5 years since she wrote that chapter", lol. In one interview she did when the anime was released, she admitted to be surprised that Inuyasha and Kagome were so antagonistic to each other at the beginning because the first chapters were ~4 years ago for her. People have also noted that she seemed to ignore some of Kagome's previous feats, to make it seem as if Kagome required a power up later on. The whole "your powers were actually reduced from birth!" plot that she introduced toward the end of the series is funny when you consider the stuff that Kagome was doing early on in the story.

surprise! i have interests outside of batman too lol

i made this in record time! skipping the line art really made the process so much faster, it's a game changer 🙌

anyways, i posted this on my ig a couple days ago and forgot to share it here too (oops) i regret to inform that this somehow became an emotional damage distribution center for the fma fandom and has apparently caused a concerning amount of psychological distress. i have gotten several threats and ill-wishes (stubbing my toe, burning my food, wet socks, warm pillows, cold coffees, traffic, stepping on legos... you get the idea 💁‍♀️)

no, i will not be apologizing for anything 😈

they say there are 5 stages of grief: denail, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance

i'd like to add one more — reblogging to make someone else cry

enjoy! 😃

remember to hydrate after crying 💦

more art nonsense to come! → ig: athenaaa.zip
