Manga panels that live rent-free in my head, Bleach edition: Izuru and Momo clash in the aftermath of Aizen's demise (from chapter 101 "Split Under the Red Stalk").

The best thing I've done with Tamodachi Life is have Ryuken, Byakuya and Isshin live in a house together and call them...

They also have matching jackets.

Orihime content was a great way to start the day but the lack of Rukia, Renji and Chad in the new trailer sickens me

(it also makes me giggle because i get Lust Arc flashbacks when the three of them had to Hang in There while all the the animation budget went to the Drama unfolding at the top of las noches)

oh my god. i was thinking about how orihime's shun shun rikka can only heal what it can see, and how this plays with ulquiorra, whose entire shtick was his trust in the visible world. and there's immediately this palpable tension because orihime trusts in the heart, while ulquiorra's predominant imagery is the eye. and how, despite the limitation of her powers in this regard, orihime is able to imagine a reality that doesn't match her present. she imagines realities where her friends win and her heart wins, even when the odds are stacked against her favor. and in the tower, she momentarily loses faith because ichigo dies and she tells herself she'd been delusional for this trust. but in the end, ichigo does come back in part due to her cries (+ whatever else shit he's got going on. chemically). the narrative rewards her and her heart over ulquiorra and his eye. essentially, the story is built in such a way that, with orihime's limitations, with her powers being what they are, she should align ideologically with ulquiorra. but the tension of her character is the tipping scales between her ability to "reject" reality and her ability to accept it. and whether she knew she was doing it or not (obviously she was having a breakdown then), she did actually reject reality by calling out to ichigo's heart in a moment of desperation. both ulquiorra (due to his beliefs) and orihime (due to her powers) have to constantly contend with imagination vs reality. but orihime wins because she dares to dream. she knows the world is shit but she dreams that a better one is possible and that's why she stretches out that hand to ulquiorra. it's not enough to see reality, you have to shape it into something better!!!!

NEW PV JUST DROPPED

LAW AND ORDER: SOUL SOCIETY

*** In Law and Order: Soul Society, B.D. Wong reprises his role as Dr. George Huang, forensic psychologist, because no one in the Gotei 13 is qualified to otherwise fill this role. He is excited to relocate:

“A single, gay Chinese American man, living in Oklahoma City Soul Society, opposed to the death penalty.”
