Cough
I'm sorry but this needed to be said somewhere. I've dedicated a lot of my years of life to Inuyasha. I followed it faithfully ever since I discovered it right before I became a freshman in high school. Think about the hours involved in watching every freaking episode of the series, seeing every blasted movie, and reading all those chapters dedicated to Inuyasha improving that goddamned sword. Good God, by chapter 360 or so I didn't even really like the series, but I'd already invested so much damn time I just wanted to finish the stupid thing. If it weren't for the incredible fanfiction in the Inuyasha fandom, I think would have gone batty by now. But now the stupid thing is finally over. Over. Done. My God, Rumiko Takahashi finished the stupid series.
Now, for all the time I invested in this stupid thing, I expect compensation. Most of you who read my journal already know I'm pretty hard ass when it comes to canon pairings. I like my canon couples to be together. So I come to the end of the final chapter to discover that I've wasted my life on what?! Not a single measly kiss. Nothing! Not one fucking iota of fanservice for those of us InuKag lovers out there! Miroku and Sango can smooch and have three kids, sure, but when it comes to my favorite pairing, a hug. Not even a good hug. More like a "gee, you're my sister, awkward" kind of hug. And for those of you who count the kiss in the movie, good for you, but it wasn't written by Takahashi. That was all I asked of that woman by now. Didn't expect a good finish to Naraku. Didn't expect fantastic character development. Didn't expect a deep and thoughtful plot. I just wanted that one KISS!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
...
Ok. Just needed to get that out there. I know most of you who are friended to me don't actually support InuKag, but the rest of my anime geek friends don't really care about Inuyasha at all. Unlike myself, they were intelligent and gave up on the series with the never-ending phallic sword improvements. My Inuyasha rant is officially over.
In other news I'm working full-time over the summer, but I don't have homework. I've reread Shards of Me and found, much to my surprise, that I still like it. So I'm going to try really freaking hard to write. Really haven't got a lot of creative juices of the writing persuasion in me at the moment (college kind of sucks them away) but I feel horrible about just leaving it hanging there and I really do want to finish it, especially since it was nominated and reviews keep popping up in my inbox, even though it's been nearly a year since I updated. I think that's about it.
Hobey ho!
