Og Sesshomaru Has A Human Daughter Named Rin - Tumblr Posts
I think I need to adjust the composition on this one but I'm not sure how far I'm gonna with it.
Spooky Papa Sesshoumaru being over protective in an AU where he meets and kinda adopts Rin in the modern era and initially sees Kagome as a threat. (That's the back of Kagome's head at the bottom)
First time starting a piece in Clip Studio Paint. You can watch me draw it here.
Just wanted to share this again.
Rumiko Takahashi: "For me, Sesshomaru is a father / parental figure (to Rin)" (March, 2021)
And that's canon. Finally, the author of Inuyasha herself has confirmed her interpretation of Sesshomaru and Rin's relationship as one of father figure/daughter. She could have said that she thought of them as a future couple, but she didn't. She could have said they were just "companions" or "friends" like some people want to interpret their relationship, but she didn't, because she doesn't see them that way. The word she used (Hogosha) is used in contexts related to parents and parental relationships. She had that in mind as she portrayed Sesshomaru and Rin's interactions, and that implies that:
Sesshomaru and Rin's interactions were never intended to be romantic.
The kimonos Sesshomaru gave Rin were NOT courtship gifts. They were gifts from a father to his daughter.
Sesshomaru never cared for Rin because he was in love with her, but because he loved her as his own daughter.
Jaken's taking care of Rin doesn't exclude Sesshomaru from being a father figure.
Sesshoumaru helped raise Rin and he never intended to marry her.
OG Sesshomaru is not a pedophile. He is a protector of children.
So yeah, it's official: they are father and daughter. The rest is a bad fanfic.
Rin is Sesshomaru's Heart
Of course she is, but not in the romantic way Sinners like to believe; I'm not one myself, but we can all relate I believe.
When someone becomes a parent, that child becomes their whole world; everything they do is to make sure that child is taken care of, clothed and loved with unconditional affection. This is a concept Sesshomaru didn't understand; when we see his mother she's kind of cold and distant; however, she is always willing to put things aside to make her son happy. Example, when Rin died in the underworld, although she didn't like humans she brought her back because it would make her son happy. That's all that mattered to her; she put her bigotry aside for her son.
Parents divorce, jobs come and go, but the constant in a parent's life is the love for their child; no matter what happens, in the end is this person they created (or adopted) ...their heart.
I saw a video on YT where this older gentlemen around his 90s who could barely walk, was still taking care of his son who was in his 60s and disabled; he was court for something (forgot what, but it was an innocent misdemeanor). Anyway, the judge asked him where he was going and the old gentleman explained that he was getting medicine for his disabled child; remember, the father could hardly walk himself, but he was still taking care of his son. I wish I could remember this video because it had me in tears; the judge dismissed his case and cried himself.
The point people: Sesshomaru has always made sure Rin was safe, that she was taken care of, that she was loved....because she is his heart. She's his child after all. An unconditional bond between parent and child that can't be broken.
It's a beautiful bond I love to see in stories. 1🥰🥰
