the heck am i doing here?

He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.

Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!

He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!

Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.

He said fuck the police!

He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.

He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.

He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.

You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!

And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.

ah yeah I forgot I had a place I can dump my art stuffs in. So uhhh, have a wip? For my fic, Kintsugi.

Kintsugi

An cover art of my newest fanfiction because I am physically incapable of controlling myself. It was fun comparing this to my older artworks though and drawing parallels to this piece here.

dude.

Let’s do some smashing of their arguments!

1. “The age of consent in Japan is 13!!” Okay… no, not in the way you’re thinking. A thirteen year old can consent to another thirteen year old. A thirteen year old cannot consent to someone, say, 19 years old. This is not even factoring in that, just like the Untied States have different consent laws in different states, Japan has different consent laws in different prefectures.

2. “It’s the Fedual Era!! People had families young all the time!!!!” Again…. no. That was done in noble families, and only done in extreme cases. Do you want to know why? Because a fourteen year old girl rarely, in *our modern times* can carry a baby, a SINGLE baby to term. Either the girl will die, the baby will die in the womb, the baby will be born prematurely and risk extreme health problems, or the baby AND girl will die.

Why is that the case? Periods are a sign of puberty. It means that the body is undergoing the changes to become a fully formed adult. Periods are a early-to-mid sign of puberty. Yes, she has eggs and can be impregnated, but a good portion of her body isn’t ready in the same way as her reproductive system. Puberty ends around the age of 16 for girls.

“Oh so it’s okay if Rin gets pregnant at 16?” No! Because mentally, the brain doesn’t mature until the age 25.

“Then why can people do x at 18?!” Because the government decided they could. 18 usually signals that the body has matured, and matured bodies are GREAT for war. The general idea is ‘if we can go to war at 18, why can’t we do x?’ Even then, there are some things, like Alcohol, that require being aged 21 (in the United States).

3. “Rin wanted this!!” Yeah, and you know what else kids want at her age? To play and have fun. Think about what YOU were doing at age 13. Were you having sex with a man way older than you? If you were, I’m incredibly sorry for you and your experiences.

But let’s explore how Rin “wanted this”. Sesshomaru saved her life. He was a driving factor in how she overcame her trauma. He had /power/ over her. If he told her to walk off a cliff, she would. Why? Because she absolutely trusts him. She would never question why he’s telling her to walk off a cliff, because it never crosses her mind that he might want to hurt her.

“That’s not the same thing” it’s an allegory.

Now, oftentimes pedophiles will go into positions of power where they have unrestricted access to young children, and where they’re unlikely to be questioned. Boy/Girl Scout leaders. Youth Ministers. Priests. Police. Teaching. Am I saying that everyone who takes up this role is a pedophile? No! Absolutely not! BUT. These are some of the most common positions infiltrated by pedophiles because it makes children trust them, it makes parents less likely to scrutinize their actions, and they’re normally well liked by the community.

So. Sesshomaru was her caretaker. She trusts him absolutely. What he says must be right and okay. After all, he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her, right?

Rin is confirmed to have been 8 at the series start.

Kagome stayed in her time for three (3) years. Not the six you are claiming.

So. Kagome is 15 at the start, and 18/19 when the series ends (we actually have no clue about timelines in the original! Rumiko was terrible at them, and Kagome’s birthday is still debated, though it’s commonly agreed to be a spring birthday).

Rin is 11, at the series end. Eleven. Years. Old.

Towa, Setsuna and Mohora are all the same age, 14.

Kagome is supposedly 39 during Yashahime. Rin would be 31 then, right?

31 - 14 = 17.

That’s not 18, like you claim.

Even still! This is assuming that Kagome’s age is correct during Yashahime! Rumiko is terrible with timelines! Awful!

Rin still cannot consent to this relationship, even if she was “legal”. What to know why?

Grooming. Some people are smart with their pedophilia. They wait until their victim is “of legal age” and publicly initiate a relationship.

“But Sesshomaru left her in the village with Kaede!” A pedophile doesn’t need 24/7 access to their victim. And it’s clearly shown that he can come and go whenever he pleases, and that he gives her gifts when he visits.

Imagine. You’re a child. This man has saved your life countless times. Brought you back from the dead, twice. He fed and clothed you. He was the first adult in your life who took proper care of you. He’s left you with someone else, but he still comes by and brings you gifts. You trust him. If he wants a few secrets between you two, and only you two, well, that’s fine right?

This is going under the assumption that Sesshomaru didn’t fall in love with Rin until she was 17, they got married, and had children all in the same year.

Couldn’t sleep so I made a belated bday gift for @lovekagome ~! I rather liked how cartoony she is, I tried to mimick your style a bit but yours is simply too original and fantasical <3~ hope you enjoyed your best girl, ily!
