This place is trash. If you found yourself here you are also trash. Let us all frolic in our collective dumping ground of hopes and dreams.

Well shit, Henry Jenkins, out here in 1997 dropping truth bombs
Oh hey I need this for a research paper I’m writing, thank you!
i mean he had been out here since 1988 dropping such bombs:
“‘fandom’ is a vehicle of marginalized subcultural groups (women, the young, gays, etc.) to pry open space for their cultural concerns within dominant representations; it is a way of appropriating media texts and rereading them in a way that serves different interests, a way of transforming mass culture into a popular culture”
Jenkins, Henry. “Star Trek Rerun, Reread, Rewritten: Fan Writing as Textual Poaching.” Critical Studies in Mass Communication 5, no. 2 (1988): 85–107. https://doi.org/10.1080/15295038809366691.
there are even some earlier works in fan studies but that’s what i have ready to hand.
Inuyasha: Can you say “papa”? Baby Moroha: Mama. Inuyasha: No, “papa”. Baby Moroha: Mama! Inuyasha: Shit. Moroha: Shit. Inuyasha: What the- no no no no don’t say that- Moroha: Mama! Shit! Kagome: Moroha, who taught you that word? Moroha: Papa!
Kagome being obsessed with Inuyasha’s ears, relying on his canine instincts and overall just enjoying his dog-like quirks must be so important to him, despite his constant “objections” to her teasing.
Not only did she accept everything that marked him as different, she also loved him because of them and treated those characteristics with naturality rather than loving him despite of it and pretending they didn’t exist.
No wonder Inuyasha felt so comfortable being completely himself around her.
I planned this comic out moooonths ago. It was inspired by the InuKag Fluff week that happened last year where I had votes for which topics to draw! (I did “Marriage Proposal” and “First Kiss” as these were the top two most popular votes).
So this comic is a mix of the 3rd and 4th votes, which were, “At Home Date” and “Sharing A Bed” 🥰
