Writing Tips: Swords
Almost all characters in Bleach use swords in some way, shape, or form. Shinigami are shown to be thoroughly trained in the art and can’t become an officer unless they have at the very least a moderate understanding, so it’s important to note some terms.
Basics:
Katana - sword Saya - (typically) wooden scabbard / sheathe Tsuka - hilt of the katana Tsuba - guard of the katana Kenjutsu - art of swordsmanship Iaido - art of drawing the katana from the saya Kamae - typical stance made after Iaido, in which one foot is in front of the other Kesagiri - the diagonal (and default) cut that can be made after falling into Kamae Chiburi - shaking of the blood from the katana after making a cut Noto - returning the katana to its saya, performed directly after Chiburi
There are many different ways, styles, and additions to these basic steps and terms. How a character carries out each step can determine their class and their proficiency in the blade itself.
This isn’t a post saying “sprinkle these Japanese terms into your writing right now!!!” (no, don’t do that) because that looks very odd, but what you can do is watch videos (x, x) on certain styles to help you describe these actions to a better extent.
Please don't forget to follow!

Writing Flowing Dialogue
Characters can talk a lot (we’re looking at you, Aizen) and posting a huge wall of text can, at times, be daunting for both writer and reader. Here’s some tips on how to better incorporate description and dialogue into your roleplays to give those monologues a little more flow and realness, so we’re not as reluctant to write/read it when it comes along.
Establish their speech pattern:
Do they talk fast?
If so, try to avoid anything that would indicate pauses, like periods, and replace them maybe with a dash or comma (this isn’t saying ‘get rid of all periods!’ ... please don’t do that) as that can add urgency and make readers who, if they read aloud, get slightly breathless while reading that section out--which is the point. (Look, that last sentence is an example!) Moral of the story is; eliciting a certain reaction from your reader is more important than making sure your dialogue has ‘proper grammar’.
Do they pause a lot?
If so, making the dialogue peek in and out from description is your best bet besides using the obvious “...” addition to the ending or beginning (or middle) of your dialogue sections. This also gives you a great chance to bring in details about your character without dedicating an entire separated and frankly oddly placed paragraph someplace else in your reply. Sometimes less is more, anyways. An example would be: “It’s been a while--since you an’ me fought like this,” Gin said, unaffected by the battle brewing behind him. “Do ya remember? Y’came at me so angrily when all I did was cut off that Gatekeeper’s arm...” yada yada, etc., etc.
Do they stutter/stumble on words?
Try to avoid the classic “Y-y-y-y-you h-h-h-h-hungry?” because not only is that a immensely offensive way to depict stuttering, it’s also mostly inaccurate via bad media representation; try explaining instead that they struggle on a word, like “Sorry for the in--the incon--inco--” they struggled, sighed, breathed in through their nose, and tried an alternative of just “--sorry.” This gives your character more of a chance to show that the issue isn’t just dialogue-shallow, and is frustrating without being blatantly angsty. No need to show how many times it took for them, either. One or two slip-ups in the dialogue and an added ‘they struggled’ description following can do the trick.
Do they repeat themselves?
Everybody repeats themselves, fictional characters shouldn’t be exempt from this just because they want to look/sound cool. Characters can be moved to repeat themselves if they; find a better way to word something, find out someone wasn’t listening, lost their train of thought and needed to backtrack, are realizing what they’re saying means a lot to the listener, and many more reasons. This is something that is ESPECIALLY true during confession scenes! Your character is expressing thoughts they probably have never spoken about before--so of course they’ll backtrack or do any or all of the above.
These are just a few examples and speech patterns. At the end of the day something as small as starting a new paragraph to continue your dialogue can change the pace of your writing, your character’s voice, and all-together help your reply look much nicer.
