Beyond Redemption

Is when people do this:

“Hey grrl!”
(cause the name must always be spelled incorrectly)

“How come you like Human InuYasha instead of Hanyou? He’s just SOOOOOO hot! I can’t understand it!”

Or side B.

“How come you don’t do canon stories?! AU makes them so OOC… You really should make X, Y, Z…”

Seriously, keep it fucking moving. I really mean that shit.

I’ve been getting asked those asinine questions for 6 years and I’m tired of it.

Why don’t I like the hanyou? I’m not into bestiality.

Why do you?

It’s just stupid to me that the ongoing consensus seems to be that there is something incredibly abnormal about preferring his human side, or some crime is being committed when you don’t want to be enslaved to canon.

EYE. FUCKING. ROLL.

I love Hanyou InuYasha. That’s how I met him.
I love Demon InuYasha. He’s fucking YUM.

But my fangirl heart belongs to HUMAN INUYASHA. There is no “why” and I don’t have to explain myself. But as someone who has, and always will, prefer brunettes, his dark hair and gray eyes “do it” for me.

And another true statement: I’m not really into his ears. The fangs and claws are sexy, but not the ears. A lot of manga and anime characters have animal ears and I think they’re unattractive. I tolerate it on InuYasha because I adore him, but that’s a big motivator in my love for his human side.

Why settle for traits I don’t care about when I can get everything I want with his human side?

Honestly, who here is really going to be a ready and willing participant with a guy who has ears like a dog in real life? That would be sick, not to mention gross.

Why don’t I write canon fic? I’ll make it easy. I dislike the canon story. I still haven’t read the full manga and I don’t think I ever will. Aside from most of it being fucking boring and long, long-winded, the “triangle” sickened me so much it made the entire story lousy. Are there a few parts that may have made me smile? Oh yes. Yasha is divine. But the other 80% I can take or leave, and as an author, I prefer to leave it. So, yeah, I don’t like Rumiko’s story that much, but I love many of her characters.

It happens all the time, so get over it.

I prefer alternate universe. I want worlds that I created and situations that I brought to life. I’m not, nor will I ever be, interested in picking up where Rumiko left off. I don’t want to use her story as my “jump off” point. I can make my own. And I do. I only borrow her characters, and since I openly assassinate characterizations, I bring them as close to an original as I can get them. Some may see that as “betraying” the “spirit” of the IY story, but I couldn’t care less what a purist thinks. I already said that I don’t like the manga story. Do you and leave me the hell alone. Last time I checked, speech and expression were free in my country.

That goes for art as well. I don’t commission canon things. Why would I ever? Are some gorgeously done? Hell yes. I’ve seen lots and lots that are drool worthy. But, for my $$$, it will always be AU. Even when I choose to make him silver and gold with fangs, claws, and ears.

I’m simply doing what makes me happy -just like everyone else.

Human InuYasha. (With the occasional hanyou)
Alternate Universe.
No Limits.

So, that’s why I reject canon.
Maybe now those stupid questions won’t get asked again.
