This is just my little place to reblog stuff about my fictional crushes and favorite ships. Proshipper (even tho I have opinions on ships I don't like). 28. ♀️. I have a tendency towards dramatics. Not interested in interacting with minors.
So, I suppose it's time to make this post, that way all potential followers will know these things about me:
First and foremost, this is my blog. I post what I want. Enter at your own risk
I am a foul mouthed gamer that loves rock (as a general umbrella term for all the subgenres) and hip hop. I can be a bit boisterous (as much as you can in digital land)
I believe in equality between men and women. One sex is not superior to the other.
I hate misandry because men are humans too. Dehumanizing them helps no one.
I do not believe human beings can change their sex. Period. Anyone who is foolish enough to believe that, I will block or troll because I am petty and I will go lower than you 😘 ergo, trans people, you're welcome to look at my blog, but your fwagile feewings might wead you to be twiggered
I used to believe I was a lesbian and used to be a misandrist until I took a look inside and unpacked my trauma. Now, I'm straight and I love men, not just in a sexual/romantic way either. They've always been better friends to me than women, ever since I was a little girl (being friends with little boys, not grown ass men, just to clear that up)
I also used to believe I was a trans man. Again, same thing, unpacked the trauma that had me convinced and as it turns out, I'm just a tomboy, a term we need to bring back
I am pro ship and anti censorship. Meaning, even if I don't like it, think it's gross, or morally rehensible, I'm not gonna harass you for it like so many other users do. Ship and let ship. Personally, I'm a big self shipper cuz it's a nice escape from my stressful life. But I will be a bully to antis because they're immature and it's fun to watch them explode
I am anti porn industry. It's rape on screen and I'm not here for it, especially as someone who has been raped.
However, don't confuse this with anti sexual content in any form of media. I'm not like some of these other weirdos who don't want it anywhere, not even in books. What I would like to know is who hurt them so bad that they want to keep others from enjoying things
I am anti prostitution because it's men paying to rape a woman. It's dangerous for the women involved
I am also anti surrogacy. It's basically the same thing as prostitution except the end goal is a baby for another couple. Get the fuck outta here with wombs for hire
I love calling out bullshit when I see it, doesn't matter who it comes from. As previously stated, I'm petty.
Please, feel free to call me a bigot, a bully, terf--whatever derogatory term you can come up with and I promise you, I'll just laugh at you.
I sincerely do not give a single, flying fuck what anyone on this hellsite thinks of me. See the first bullet point of this post (I do what I want)
Also! I highly recommend to anyone who doesn't believe the patriarchy fails men too, read Fried Green Tomatoes by Frannie Flagg. That book changed my life. And yes, I mean read it. Don't just watch the movie. The book and the movie can't really be compared.
All that being said... If you still choose to follow me, welcome 😁 it's always nice to have like minded people. In the words of Eminem, God sent me here to piss the world off 🖕I'm not responsible for your feelings, you are
I really miss the days of shipping where none of us gave a single fuck about the creators intent or how canon something was. Homie, we just had fun. Didn't care how moral or impossible the ship was. We understood it wasn't canon and that it was all fiction. Why must we turn to source material to find "proof" for our ships? Can we not simply enjoy the idea or vibe?
Does anyone remember when we shipped Elsa and Jack Frost? Characters from two different movies, created by completely separate studios. It could've never happened and yet we all said fuck it and shipped it anyways!
Why can't we just have fun anymore? Why must we get into arguments over bullshit? Why must we call peoples morals or interests into question for something they enjoy in fiction?
Like, fuck dude. Y'all are way too serious about this shit.
~Another hot take from my manga reread that I'm going to share with you all
Orihime did NOT go to the Soul Society to save Rukia!
Her motive was purely to follow Ichigo.
Before I continue, I do NOT think this necessarily makes her an evil person. I think this makes her a human teenage girl with a crush who is self absorbed most likely due to her traumatic past.
The point of this post isn't to hate on anything but rather to look at things objectively as they are presented in the manga.
Let's look at those key panels in Chapter 58, shall we?
Orihime has not had her memory wiped of Rukia presence. That's clue number 1. Why was her memory not affected? Or Chad's? Or Uryuu's? They all remember Rukia quite clearly. We know that it was not the Gotei 13 that wiped their memories.
The most likely culprit for the memory wiping is Kisuke.
So you can gather from Orihime's words here, Ichigo has just finished telling her how Rukia was arrested and taken back to the Soul Society. Obviously Ichigo informed her there was trouble because she clearly says "you want to help her". Why would Rukia need help if she was not in trouble? She is aware something is wrong based on whatever Ichigo told her off screen.
Then - in a very odd turn - Orihime starts saying "her friends and family are all over there".... which is a very STRANGE thing to say when Ichigo just finished explaining that Rukia's brother was one of the people that arrested her....
It get's even stranger! She goes on to say "Will you take her away from her family and friends and bring her back here? Is that the right thing to do?"
AGAIN - she KNOWS that Rukia is in trouble and that her brother is one of the people that arrested her!
We know Renji straight up told Ichigo that Rukia was going to be executed.
So what makes Orihime think that the "right thing to do" would be to LEAVE Rukia in the place where her "family and friends" are going to execute her?
Also, note how Kubo chose to frame her in this panel... Specifically as she says this -
It's dark. Orihime's shadowed. We cannot see her eyes, only her mouth. It's an odd choice for a seemingly "innocent" scene....
Ichigo's reaction is visibly SHOCKED by this. As it should be because wtf?!
Then we get a real SUDDEN shift from her where she immediately puts on her "fake" smile (because it literally matches the fake smile she does at the Don Kanonji show) and does a complete 180! And her reason isn't "Well of course what I said is all bullshit!"
No, she says "But you've already made up your mind!" Hmm...
Then we get Orihime imitating Ichigo (because she's studied his body language for a while now...)
Again, showing a fake smile. Consistently the same facial smile we've seen her use when she's covering up for a saying something odd or lying about her feelings.
It's only AFTER all of this, that Orihime says "I don't want my friend Rukia to die either."
If someone is your friend and you are told that they are going to be executed and you don't want them to die, your first reaction would NOT be to justify why they should NOT be saved!
Also note how surprised Orihime is to notice the resolve in Ichigo to go save Rukia. Like, she's literally looking at his clenched first with surprise.
Then Ichigo runs off to go ask Urahara to train him. Orihime looks sad as she watches him go and makes this plea for Ichigo to not get hurt. Not for him to rescue "her friend Rukia". But for Ichigo. Again, I'm not saying this is evil of her. But her motive is Ichigo, NOT Rukia.
Hang on, cause here is where it gets even deeper!
This very next panel. Right here. We see Orihime decide "I won't let him." Meaning she won't let Ichigo get hurt. Then immediately goes to a phone booth and calls Chad to say she has "made up [her] mind".
Now ask yourself. Made up her mind about what? Ichigo didn't ask her to come along. We haven't seen any indication that he spoke to Chad at all.
So again, I ask... made up her mind about WHAT?
Obviously we know it's that she made up her mind about training with Yoruichi to go to the Soul Society too. To follow Ichigo and make sure he does not get hurt, like she said. But... HOW DID SHE KNOW THAT WAS A POSSIBILITY? Ichigo didn't know it was and certainly didn't say anything...
Orihime knows Ichigo is a soul reaper at this point and only souls can go to the Soul Society. She is not a soul reaper. Why does she think it's possible for her to follow Ichigo to the Soul Society?
The only logical conclusion is that Urahara spoke to Chad and Orihime and informed them that they had a choice to make regarding whether they wanted to go and help Ichigo or not. Otherwise, they would not have known it was a possibility at all.
BUT if Urahara did talk to Orihime and Chad beforehand - he must have explained WHY they would be making this choice at all.
SO ORIHIME ALREADY KNEW WHAT HAPPENED TO RUKIA BEFORE SHE SPOKE TO ICHIGO
Otherwise, she would not have known to immediately go call Chad and tell him her decision.
So now - go back and reread those panels above knowing that Orihime ALREADY knew what happened to Rukia. You see it in a different light, don't you?
She couldn't say she was going to follow Ichigo to the Soul Society. She has no prior relationship with him really. Chad was friends with him for years. But Orihime really only interacted with him on a surface level at this point for two months and mostly through Tatsuki. So, of course, the reason could not be Ichigo. She had to say it was Rukia.
And that first part? About whether Ichigo was doing the right thing by rescuing her? It's manipulative. It's dark. As soon as she saw his shocked face, she flipped real quick.
She isn't honest with Ichigo about herself at all either. She doesn't tell him about what Urahara said. Or that she had powers that have awakened. Or that she has a choice to make about going with him. Nothing. No input whatsoever. She wants Ichigo to be honest with her but does not offer him honesty in return...
And you know? You don't have to take my word for her motive. She straight up says it here:
The ironic part is that she completely failed in this. She didn't heal Ichigo at all until the very end at Sōkyoku Hill.
But you know what's even more messed up? Rukia believes that Orihime did go to the Soul Society to save her. She really does think that Orihime is her friend and cares about her.
Orihime's expression in that last panel is intriguing. That sadness in her eyes at Rukia's genuine kindness. One wonders if she was about to tell Rukia the truth about her motives for going to the Soul Society...
TLDR: Orihime is NOT a cinnamon roll character who selflessly went to the Soul Society to save Rukia. She is a jealous teenage girl with anxious attachment style that wanted to follow her crush.
No, because you don't understand; he's scared of clowns, he checks strip clubs reviews before going, he used to be tech in his highschool's play, he had a magician phase as a kid, he believed in the easter bunny until 11 and a half, he liked the movie Entrapment and he buys fancy shampoos and hides them from his brother.
