"And If You Gaze Long Into An Abyss, The Abyss Also Gazes Into You."

"And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

Unplanned companion to this Murderer, Shinichi Kudo piece from a few days ago.

I'm blaming this one entirely on my brother lmao

I thought I was done with this concept, like I had NO plans to continue representing this idea in this particular aesthetic, but then as we're watching Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small, completely unprompted he hits me with this fuckin curveball:

"Do you think [Shinichi] thinks of himself as a murderer?"

And I just. Man

To be fair... I don't think I'll ever be done with the idea of a more emotionally-driven revenge story than what we're given for Shinichi, and the temptation of vigilantism in his pursuit of it, but I wasn't ready to start thinking about it agaaainnnn

TW Suicide

(It's a rope for symbolism, not literal suicide- but I'm giving a heads up just in case)

Full drawing and explanation under the break

TW Suicide

TW Suicide

Aaand it's a concept drawing I plan to turn into an illustration!

I was inspired by hagi's drawing on pixiv (ID: 2249236)**

It's representing how each time Conan takes the antidote, the existence of Shinichi fades away more and more (hence the rope which is in the same color as the antidote and the cracks on Shinichi's side)

The idea of Shinichi being pushed out of the picture by himself essentially is just-

TW Suicide

THE TRAGEDY!!! I'm here for that angst, being the masochist (and sadist for imagining Shin-chan suffering like that LMAO) I am.

Friend: Oh my gosh, this is so crazy, but The Witcher totally made white hair and yellow eyes a thing. That's the new hot guy combo now.

Me, a decades long Inuyasha Fan:

Our Love Is Shown Through Our Actions.

Our love is shown through our actions.

Even when they act like self-sacrificing idiots.

I mean, Inuyasha’s all like, “Until I met Kagome I never trusted a soul in this bleak world of murderous bigots, but I’m not supposed to be happy and it’s unfair to Kagome, so I gotta let her go,” even though it was established Inuyasha GETS HIS STRENGTH FROM HAVING KAGOME BY YOUR SIDE YA DINGUS, HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING?!

He seriously says he’s not supposed to know joy (in Japanese, dunno about other dubs). Inuyasha actually chose to repay a debt (Kikyo) over happiness (Kagome). I know Kikyo’s death is recent for him since he just woke up, but I swear his abandonment issue is messing with his life choices.

Or survivor’s guilt? The world may never know. What we do know is sometimes that boy thinks things through as much as a hyperactive puppy.

A stray puppy, in fact. He grew up in his mom’s fancy house until he was orphaned and then forced to live in the wild…OK, I made myself sad.

And then Kagome’s like, “It’s impossible for me to come into Inuyasha’s heart. Still, I can’t forget him, so I’ll stay by his side and put myself through constant peril because I want him to be happy,” even though his daily actions indicate he’s fallen head over heels for Kagome GODDAMMIT GIRL YOU NEED TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR DOG-MAN!

GET HIM ON A FUCKING COUCH AND LET HIM EXPERIENCE A THERAPY SESSION OF THE CENTURY BECAUSE THAT BOY NEEDS TO LEARN ABOUT HEALTHY LIFE CHOICES! MAKE HIM SHUT UP AND BE HAPPY –

– sorry, I’ve been re-watching old episodes. Found my VHS recordings…from way back in 2000…when I was living in Japan. I’m old.

A wise decision, Shippo.

Those stubborn fools put us on a wild roller coaster of emotions. *Sigh* But I guess their consideration for the other is what makes them good partners. And partnership is important in a relationship. They bicker but they accept everything about the other like the partners they are.

image

Kagome is more about treating his physical and mental injuries, while Inuyasha is usually about active protection and behaving like a watchdog, but I love it when they switch roles. No matter what, she’s got his back and he’s got hers.

Which is why I believe Kagome would totally entrust her soul to Inuyasha. Sooo romantic.

Fighting evil by moonlight. Winning love by daylight. Never running from a real fight. She is the one named… Oh shit, wrong anime.
