messy, scratchy, and just the right style for me now. It felt cozy drawing like this, looking at errors and leaving them because it was okay to let them be.

now off I go back to the land of art

Congratulations to all the winners! Your awards are ready, so please send one of the mods or this blog your preferred email address so we can send them to you! Also, we please ask that you give at least one week time for your awards to be sent due to the mod-team having IRL commitments. If you have not received it within one week, please reach out to a mod <3

Please note, the winner ban only applies to the first place winner(s) in each division; second and third place winners will be eligible to be nominated again in the next term.

As this term comes to a close, FeudalConnection will be taking a short hiatus. This time is always spent reviewing the process and seeing what can be revamped for next term.

In doing so, the mod-team has been working behind the scenes over the last couple of months to bring about a new method of sending in nominations. This new method will allow people outside of tumblr to send in nominations, and will have an easy fill-in format to hopefully make nominating easier. This will be implemented by the next term, so keep an eye out for a future post with details regarding this.

An immense thank you to everyone who voted on next term's roulette categories!

Roulette Fanfiction Category for Term 2 2025 will be Best Classic Fanfiction. This is defined as: A fanfiction that has been posted outside of the designated timeframe; ie: stories that have been posted and/or updated prior to the 3 years before the start of the term. These are not limited to completed fics, but completed fics may be preferred.

Roulette Fanart Category for Term 2 2025 will be Best Background. This is defined as: A focus on the background, not just the main character(s). This is an appreciation of the work and background that the artist has created.

Roulette Romance Category for Term 2 2025 will be Best Thruple Romance. This will be a category for both Fanart and Fanfiction.

  • For Fanfiction, it will be defined as: Stories that have developed a believable romance between three Inuyasha characters. "Believable" is subjective, and it is up to those nominating/voting to draw their own line on that quantifier and vote their "Best". This includes canon universe and AU/AR settings.
  • For Fanart, it will be defined as: Any romantic depiction of three Inuyasha characters.

Remember, all other romantic pairings, besides InuKag & thruples, can be nominated into the Best Romance category. All other pairings will be up for voting again next term. We will continue cycling through desired pairings to give spotlight to as many pairings as possible.

We will officially be back in full swing May 1st! We will still be around in case you have questions or concerns, but feel free to take this time to read new fanfiction and find new fanart. We strongly encourage everyone to review/comment/reblog so to spread the love of this fandom around. 

Want to stay immersed in the Inuyasha fandom? Head on over and join our Discord server, which is open to everyone! Or follow @inuyasha-events​ to stay up-to-date on all the current and upcoming fandom events!

As the day gets closer to the start of the second term of 2025, we will be keeping everyone in the loop when it comes to changes and updates. Thank you all again for making this such a wonderful experience! See you soon!

I want to read a story where one character says, "ok, weird way to propose, but yes," while the other one most definitely did not intend to propose.

Something, something can I have a prompt list that’s smth like this:

“Can I kiss you?”

“Im Sorry, wHAT!?” /pos

That might be a bit too vague so erm… a prompt list for like awkward fluffy confessions 🙏🙏

(I low-key don’t know how to ask stuff sorry chat)

Just fyi for everyone, since you said that you are not sure how to ask stuff. There is a guide on how to ask in my bio and one thing that just makes me a bit more happy when answering an ask is a short Hi! at the beginning. Doesn't need more, just makes me happy, since I'm spending quite some time on these asks. But like I said, just cause you said you're unsure about how to ask.

Here are your confessions:

Awkward Fluffy Confessions

  • "So... really long story short... I like you. Maybe?"
  • "I like you. If that's ok with you, of course."
  • "You like me? No, it's not weird! I do it too. Liking me. No, I mean liking you!"
  • "If I would tell you that I love you, would that scare you away or could we talk about it?"
  • "This is absolutely not how I wanted to tell you."
  • "I'm sorry to make this so awkward, I just never felt like this about anyone else before."
  • "Wait, this is coming out all wrong. I just like you. A lot. That is all I wanted to say."
  • "It's not anyone else, it is you. The one I... that I like. I like you."
  • "Not to make this awkward, but there is something I can't keep to myself any longer."
  • "Liking you has been very easy, I realized."
  • "Do you think, maybe, that you could feel the same about me?"
  • "Please, tell me if I should just shut up and maybe even leave, but I have to get this off my chest."

I hope you like them!

Silly drunk dialogue

Can also be under the influence of other stuff.

  • "Oh, look at the stars! Ursa Major… so beautiful!" "We're inside. Those are just ceiling lights."
  • "Please don't leave me!" "I'm just going to the toilette." "Can I come with you?"
  • "My arm is floppy. I'm like a puppet."
  • "Can you be my girlfriend?" "I already am." "Oh, lucky me!"
  • "Let’s go play baseball!" "Your shoulder is dislocated, maybe not right now."
  • "You look almost as pretty as this moon." "That's a street lamp." "And you're almost as pretty."
  • "Have you ever thought about penguins? I think we should think more about penguins."
  • "You have a stupid face and it's my favourite one to stare at."
  • "I will definitely remember this tomorrow! How could I ever forget?" *doesn't remember anything in the morning*
  • "Oh, I think we haven't met before." "We have been in a relationship for five years now."
  • "You should go, otherwise I'm doing something stupid. Like kissing you or falling asleep on the bathroom floor."
  • "Let's get you home." "Oh, mine or yours?" "Ours." "Oh, wow!"
  • "I'm totally, absolutely, not at all drunk at all. Like... at all."
  • "Why are you all laughing? That is not very nice. I haven't even told my joke yet."
  • "How many drinks did you have?" "Yes, yes I am."
  • "You are too beautiful for me." *starts crying*
  • "Why are you undressing?" "Because it's hot! And I'm hot!"
  • *starts singing a remix of all their favourite songs*
  • *then starts crying, because their own voice is too beautiful*

random medical facts to use for your hospital whump writing. let your whumpee be a patient today!

  • if a patient has a seizure that lasts longer than 5 minutes, or if they suffer several seizures, they risk sustaining brain damage — because their brain can’t get oxygen during the seizure.
  • if a patient’s coughing up blood when they’re lying on their back, make sure to tune their face to the side so that they don’t choke on their own blood (the same applies to vomit too)
  • chest compression can and often leave patients with broken ribs. because you have to push down hard enough in order to help pump blood from the patient’s heart to their brain (the point is so that the brain gets blood, in order to prevent brain damage), and more often than not, you’ll end up breaking your patient’s ribs — that is normal and okay, because it’s better for your patient to have broken ribs than it is for them to lose their life.
  • after a course of electroconvulsive therapy, you’ll normally have to give your patient a dose of muscle relaxant, otherwise the aftermath of the shock may cause musculoskeletal complications.
  • you don't use a defibrillator to shock a patient if they already flat line, because their heart no longer has any electricity. quote "asystole isn't a shockable rhyme, and defibrillator may actually make it harder to restart the heart." (Cleveland Clinic)
  • the famous, classic "a character was knocked out and they stayed unconscious for hours before they woke up on their own with no lingering damage" trope is actually almost impossible if you want your work to be medically accurate (but if you don’t care about accuracy and are just here for the whump, that is totally fine!). if someone was knocked out and they stayed unconscious for more than several minutes, chances are that they suffer permanent brain damage, so they won't "wake up on their own in the next hour or two and be completely fine without intense medical attention".

True Idiots in Love

  • Asking the other one to marry them, before even being together or having confessed their love for each other
  • Being in a really healthy and nurturing relationship that people love to witness - without realizing they actually are in a relationship
  • Living together for some time, being engaged to get married, and still questioning if the other one actually really likes them or if they're just being nice and a good friend
  • Both trying to ask the other one out on a date, thinking the other one is talking about dating someone else
  • One of them breaking the news that they got together to their friends and family, excited that it finally happened - but their partner missed the memo, completely misunderstood their "getting together" story, and is still thinking their love is unrequited
  • Being a couple is an inside joke for them, casually "joking" about being each other's wife/husband, even in front of people who don't know it's a joke, and that make them realize that it never really was a joke
