EelKat's InuYasha 20 Questions Survey...

I made this for my new InuYasha CosPlay LJ Community ()

Use this to post an introduction post in the community, and than copy and paste it to your blog/profile! :)

1. Who is your favorite InuYasha character(s)?
#1 Lord Sesshomaru
#2 Koga
#3 Naraku

(I loves hot demon bishie boys! Theys soo cute!)

2. What is your favorite canon pairing(s)?
Sesshomaru x Rin
Sesshomaru x Kogura

InuYasha x Kagome x Koga (love the fights between Inu and Koga over Kagome! LOL!)

3. Which InuYasha character do you least like?

The Raccoon-Dog (I forget his name), the one that follows Miroku around and turns into a yellow flying thing. He's just annoying.

4. Ever CosPlayed InuYasha characters?

4a. If so, who, where, and how many times?

4b. If not, but going to, who?

No, oddly, not yet, but I could pass for Naraku most every day, cause I've got is long dark locks and I wear a blue-purple layered kimono combo more than anything else.

I'm working on creating a Lord Sesshomaru costume... sort of, it's not really a CosPlay costume, because I'm recreating his entire wardrobe (some 45 + articles of clothen!) including 6 different kosode/kimono, 4 juban, 2 hakama, 5 different sets of battle armor, the manga version of the mokomoko, and 7 heko-obi, plus all the little things, like shoes, obi-jimba, etc. I wonder what kind of underwear he wears...???;

I'm hand sewing everything, and hand embroidering all of the kosode in a traditional 16th century Noh theater style, than I've got to make a hand knotted wig (because I'm a detail freak)... the battle armor to be made of real metal and hand scaled leather, the kosodes of real antique Japanese silk, and months and months of historical research into the history of what a real lord from 16th cen Japan would have worn, and altering Sesshy's outfits to be historically accurate.

The whole project is estimated to take about 3 years and cost approx $4,000 to complete. When I get done, I will have a set that will not be your average CosPlay costume... comparing this set with a traditional CosPlay costume, would be like comparing a Broadway musical stage costume with a kindergarten school play costume.

5. Have you read all InuYasha manga chapters (1 - 558)?
5a. And which of the ones you've read is your fave? Why?


Nope, not yet, but I'm working on it. Mostly I've only read the chapters with Sesshomaru in them, cause the others are not as interesting, but now that it's over I plan to start at vol 1 and read the whole thing straight through.

Best chapter ever, was the multi part (about 7 chapters in the 460's) one where Sesshomaru went to visit his mom and she got mad at him for having the 2 human children with him (Rin and Kohaku) so she killed Rin and sent her soul to hell and Sesshomaru ripped a hole through the barrier between the world of the living and hell, and fought off the hell demons to bring her back, but than found out he couldn't bring her back to life again because he had already done so, and he started crying and said he'd lost the only thing that was important to him and didn't want to live if Rin had died. It's the ONLY time we ever see Sesshomaru show any emotion at all. Kills all the fan theories which says Sesshy doesn't love Rin. :P


6. Have you ever felt that you were destined to be with a InuYasha character? If so, who and why?

Sesshomaru, because he and I are so dang much alike it ain't funny. I think he's said more words in his lifetime than I have! Of course that doesn't include the amount of writing I do... I can write for hours, but just try getting me to actually speak to you! And boy when I do talk, I've never had very much nice to say about the humane race.... I think it was the things Sesshy says about hating humans that got me to liking him in the first place! LOL!

7. InuYasha or Sesshomaru? Why?

Depends on what the question is, and since I have no idea what the question is, I'll say Sesshomaru. Why? Because weaponless he can beat Inu's ass any day. Inu can't fight without his trusty sword.

They are both cute, but Sesshy is just drop dead gorgeous, so Inu can't compare at all!

Inu is better in that he's not nearly as stuck up as Sessy is, though. Sesshy has some major pride and vanity issues he needs to deal with.


8. Koga or Miroku? Why?

How can these two compare? No idea, they just seemed to be a good duo to pit against each other.

I pick Koga. Why? Better looking, better acting, a gentleman of sorts, even if he is a bit snobbish at times.

They are both so cute though!


9. Which team is your favorite? (InuYasha's, Sesshomaru's or Naraku's)
9a. And would you join them?

Sesshomaru's team, and I'd join them, except Jarken's yapping would drive me crazy, I'd probably bop him on the head a few times.

I'd consider Naraku's team too, except he has a bad habit of killing off his allies!

10. After reading volume 56: Do you think Naraku is REALLY dead, this time, at least, finally, (or will he come back at some point in the future, yet again)?

The youkai that confronted Inu (in 552) said that Naraku would be revived to fight Kagome, but than it didn't happen, so does that mean that Naraku is really under some sort of spell and not really dead? Does that mean that at some point in the future Naraku will be "reawakened"? It sounds that way to me, even if the jewel is gone and Miroku's wind tunnel vanished, it certainly looks like Rumiko left an opening to bring the manga back at some point in the future should she decide too.

11. After reading the final chapter (558): Why do you think Keade took Rin away from Sesshomaru?
11a. And will Sesshomaru take Rin back?

I got to agree with the fans who call Sesshy a lolicon, at least to the point that I think Keade thinks he is, cause I can see no other reason for her to take Rin away from him like that.

I'm miffed over Kaede taking Rin away from Sesshomaru X( but, seeing how 3 years have gone by, and Sesshy is still visiting Rin, we can hope they get together once she's grown up. Looks like Rumiko is not going to be telling us either way :( , so I'm going to assume they will and be happy with that. :)

I know have a new motto: Beware of flying demons bearing gifts!

YAY! Keade can't stop him from bringing gifts to Rin and regardless of what he says about hating humans, and in spite of Keade, he certainly isn't going to let Rin forget about him. I want Rumiko to write the rest of this and tell us what happened-will happen.


12. Are you Pro-Sesshomaru x Rin or Anti-Sesshomaru x Rin?

I'm all for the Sesshy-Rin relationship in any and all forms.

13. Have you seen all InuYasha episodes (including the 4 movies)?
13a. And which of the ones you've seen is your fave? Why?

Yes... and more than once, with me watching the Sesshomaru epies even more than the rest... I recorded them all off Adult Swim (unedited versions! YAY!) so I can watch them when ever I want too!

My fave? It was the 3-part episode that introduced Sesshomaru, when he was trying to find the sword, and he and InuYasha battled over it. I love the fight when Sesshy turned into Fluffy, but sad that he got hurt and lost his arm. I've watched this one 7 times this month alone! (Using the excuse that I am research for my costume ;) LOL! )

14. Pro-Kikyo or Anti-Kikyo?

I can't stand Kikyo, she's such a grump all the time, never has a good or happy outlook about anything!

15. Do you like InuYasha fanfics? If so, which types are your faves?

Love them! I read all the Sesshy x Rin ones I can find, though some of them I completly disagree with. I prefer the G, PG, PG-13 ones, over the R, M, N-17 ones though.

I love any Inu x Kagome x Koga ones too. Again G, PG, PG-13 ones.

Actually I like most all Inu fanfic, though the only ones I read rated over PG-13 are the Sesshy-Rin or Sesshy-Kagura ones.

16. Do you write InuYasha fanfics? If so, what kind and is it online so we can read it?

Yep, I'm guilty of writing them. Focus on Sesshy-Rin, of course. Oddly ignoring my above preferances to the fanfics I read, the ones I write tend to be PG-13, R, and M rated. hhmmm, weird... but than my books tend to be R rated romances so it's only logical that my fanfics would be as well.

Nope, none of my fanfics are posted anywhere online, so nope you can't read them. Maybe, I'll post some of them, someday, on FanFiction.net (where I do have an account).


17. Do your parents know about the InuYasha characters? If so, what do they think of them?

My dad watches every episode when it comes on tv, because he started watching it with me and my brothers and it's like watching a soap opera, even if you don't like it you have to watch the next episode to see what happens!


18. Has InuYasha affected your personal life, work life, school life and grades, and/or your relationships?

Yep. It gets in the way of everything I do!

19. Do you have InuYasha-OCD?

Oh, yes. Big time! Actually, It's Sesshomaru-OCD, cause he's the only reason I started watching the show and reading the books.

20. Looking back at some of your answers, do you think InuYasha has taken over your life?

Yep! LOL!
