So The Mandalorian is out now and I was super concerned. We haven’t had a good Star Wars movie since Rouge One— watching this new trilogy with Discount Anakin Skywalker and Three Buns Girl is like god is projectile vomiting into my eyes.

So I’ve put off even starting the show. Imagine my surprise when we have actual? Mandalore lore?? So I’m thinking “oh this might be worth my time after all”

And then

And it’s just? So precious? And cute? I was not ready. How dare you end an episode with such cuteness??

And I’m just

new motivation for cleaning my room:

what would levi think

[tsunderesasuke]

Sasuke: Sakura, you created a scene

Sakura: EXCUSE ME?!

Sasuke: The pilot had to make an emergency landing

Sasuke: In a lake

Sasuke: In the middle of December

Sakura: You have NO RIGHT to tell me that I did ANYTHING wrong here! How else am I supposed to react when you- you- you CHEATED on me!

Sasuke: The airline might sue Uchiha Corp. Some passengers nearly died of hypothermia.

Sakura: So what? I’m your WIFE, Sasuke-kun, who you’ve been CHEATING on with your best friend! I’m entitled to expressing my emotions!

Sasuke: Destroying the interior of a commercial flight accomplishes nothing. I thought my ‘wife’ was above such childish antics.

Sakura: Oh no, you don’t get to put this on me! This is all YOUR FAULT, you giant cheating CHEATER!

Sasuke: I thought you already knew about Naruto. We agreed not to keep secrets. I’ve honored that.

Sakura: What? How could I possibly-

Sasuke: Last week, when you asked me where I was going, I said ‘Naruto’s place.’ Do you remember?

Sakura: Yes, but-

Sasuke: And you asked, I quote, ‘what are you guys going to do?’

Sakura: I remember. And you said…

Sasuke: That we plan to have sex. With each other. All night long, and possibly well into the next day.

Sasuke: I came home with a limp. When you questioned me about it, I said, ‘Naruto fucked me.’

Sasuke: And you said, ‘Okay.’

Sakura: *blushes* I-I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING!!

Sasuke: Why would I joke about that?

Sakura: I don’t know! I don’t know anything about you! Clearly, this marriage was a huge mistake.

Sasuke: Which is what I’ve been telling you. Every. Single. Day. For the past TWO years.

Sakura: Uh

Sakura: So that wasn’t a joke either?

Sasuke: *eye twitches*

Sasuke: *takes a deep breath*

Sasuke: Sakura, I want a divorce

Sakura: No… Sasuke-kun, it can’t be- we can still-

Sasuke: I don’t think so

Sasuke: My lawyers will be in touch

Have you ever read a fanfic written so good, your brain started to think it was actually part of the canon?

[sleepylapwing]

Me: *laughing* What do you mean it’s not cannon?! It happened! I remember it! *sweatdrops* There was music, and character development— What do you mean I was reading FanFiction and imagined the rest? What?? That would never-

[lollyg007]

Me: *read a paragraph for 30 sec.

Me: *imagine what I read for 5 mins detail by detail.

The one save that deserves recognition

[sleepylapwing]

There’s one thing I don’t get, and that’s why Kubo didn’t set up Ichihime to begin with. I’m a strong Ichiruki shipper. Why? Because it was set up. From the get go.

Black Sun, White Moon.

You know what the sun and moon are in most works of literature (especially poems)? Lovers. Lovers or married or soulmates. Like sand and water, or the earth and sky, they just go together. Different but completely perfect for each other.

So when I saw White Moon and Black Sun I was like “Cool, we all know what the main ship is and will be. Less arguments within the fandom.” And then the constant OFFICIAL art work of Ichigo and Rukia together, looking at each other, smiling. It felt concrete then.

And then can we talk about how there were so many scenes with them together. That’s why I was so sure they were the main ship. Because the animators, the writer, the artist put them together like that! If you wanted a different ship to be THE ONE, you don’t spend so much time building the other one!

He had so many opportunities to build Orihime’s character, to give Ichigo time build a friendship with her on screen, but he didn’t. They were friends, yeah, but any good, lasting relationship (especially a marital one) is built off friendship. You won’t hide anything from each other and you’ll be comfortable with each other. It’ll be past rose colored glasses and you’ll know they’re flaws and still love them. That’s why they say your spouse should be your best friend. He built so much on Ichigo and Rukia, I could see a healthy relationship steaming from it.

Ichigo and Orihime… they were friends, but it never felt more than that. It’s always felt like my friendship with my brother’s friend. Dude had a crush on me for a while. I was his friend, but we aren’t friends that would ever get married. And people can see that by our friendship dynamics. Ichigo loves Orihime, yes, but based on how he looked and interacted with her in the manga and anime, it wasn’t how a husband would— should look at his wife.

The whole thing feels forced to me.

I’m not saying Kubo was wrong to write their relationships to end like this; these are his characters, his children. But, I think could have done a far better job writing it if Ichihime was supposed to be the ending ship. I would have probably supported Ichihime if it was written with clear growth instead of a huge jump in relationship status. I mean, you can see Ichigo and Rukia grow in each other. But by the end of the aranchar arc, even the fullbringer arc, he was looking at Orihime the same as always. You could see the shifts in how he would look at Rukia, but he looked at Orihime like he looked at Uryū.

(I mean if I can see more fondness in his eyes when he looks at Grimmjow, you’re not writing your winning couple right)

I guess I just wanted closure and I didn’t get any. It’s sad to see that after following this story for so long. I respect Kubo for his choice, this is all his he can do what he wants with it, but I stand by Ichiruki. Not because they’re the two main characters, but because I could follow their relationship and see the reality in it.

[yashahimewasamistake]

Kubo set Ichihime since chapter 2, where Orihime reveals that she crush after Ichigo and like next chapter Ichigo was pretty clear that Hollow-Sora would have to kill him first to harm Orihime.

Jump forward to the moment they worked as a team to rescue Rukia, or where Ichigo promised to protect Orihime, or where Ichigo stopped Grimmjow attack just because Orihime said so, or where he lashed at Ulquiorra after Ulquiorra admitted being the kidnapper (and Rukia was kind of dying…so she ought to be priority if Ichigo was in love with her).

On the other hand, on SS, Renruki was build and where Rukia and Ichigo went each to their own world.

I mean, Kubo couldn’t be more clear. Well, he was, he was happy to inform that Ichigo and Rukia were more than friends and less than lovers and he was happy of that dynamic. I shipped IR back when that info was revealed and I knew what it meant (aka, no IR).

You can’t blame the mangaka just because what the anime lead you to believe IR was going to happen (like that nice skating screenshots there, filler, and impossible to fit in the canon manga).

[sleepylapwing]

Okay, again, (can I say this any more?)

CRUSHES DONT MEAN LOVE

Just because she clearly had a crush doesn’t mean that will be the winning couple. Again, just as an example, Naruto had a crush on Sakura. They did end up together? No. What does that tell you? That just because a character has a crush doesn’t mean the author wants that as the end all be all.

Yes I’ve read the ENTIRE manga, thank you. Your chapter two “evidence” is hindsight at best. Because again, let me say, YOU DONT ALWAYS MARRY YOUR HIGHSCHOOL SWEETHEART.

Secondly, I was using him as an example of a clear winning ship. I knew early in the series that Naruto was gonna end up with Hinata or Sasuke. It was clear that what was between Naruto and Sakura was infatuation and friendship. (And there’s no need to start hating on another character. You wanna talk bad about another character do it elsewhere, we talking Bleach here)

I’m not saying that Ichigo couldn’t have grown to love Orihime. What I’m saying is that after so many years of this manga going, it shouldn’t have felt so... odd to so many people. I don’t know when you started reading, but to a lot of us, the ending of Blaach left way more lose ends then it tied off. One of them being when the love he had for Orihime went from friendship to I’d be with you for all my life.

(Side note some ppl will propose to their second option. Not saying that’s what happened in Bleach, but that is a thing that happens. Just saying, your arguments have been kinda weak.)

[sleepylapwing]

Sorry, still figuring out this app. Pardon the mess in the comments 😅

Okay, let me emphasize what I said constantly. This is KUBO’s work. He can do what ever he wants with his story. It’s HIS. I’m not blaming. And if this is because of my complaint on his lack of clarity, may I point out all of the Quincy arc. You can’t tell me you didn’t get overwhelmed or lost. He’s not a perfect writer, get over it none of us are.

Two, Orihime had a crush, whoop-dee-fuckin-doo. You do know crushes don’t equate love, right? She and Ichigo barely spoke at the beginning, so what was she basing her affection off? Looks? What she heard or saw? Infatuation doesn’t mean love.

Crushes don’t always end up together. Crushes come and go, so just because she admitted her crush doesn’t mean she’ll get said crush. I had a crush on my high school friend. But I moved on from that. You can’t say it’s obvious because she liked him. Crushes are not death-till-us-part. So your first argument is invalid, her having a crush doesn’t solidify it. Naruto crushed on Sakura. He didn’t marry her.

Secondly, Ichigo lives up to his name. He put his life on the line for ALL his friends. He did it for Rukia, Orihime, Uryū, his sisters, Renji, Chad— point is, he’s a self sacrificing idiot (I say with much fondness) and won’t step down to protect anyone. Number one protector is his name after all

I know Renruki was built off screen. But Orihime and Ichigo has all the time on screen. All I’m saying is that if you’re gonna make a couple in a show, focus on building it. It doesn’t have to be the main focus, but give me something to work with. We got Ichigo talking his about his mother’s death to Rukia(something he does not so often), what do we have like that with Orihime?

Yeah he told us about the friendship, and I’m fine with that once I found out. Believe it or not I don’t follow the artist , I expect to know these things by their work. I do have a life you know. But if you want to make me believe in Ichihime, I’d’ve liked to see the affection he had for Rukia pointed to Orihime just as often if not more. I’m just trying to see this as a real marriage. And Ichihime doesn’t strike me as a lasting marriage, like say Naruto and Hinata’s. Just saying.

And as for my picture choice, it was the only one I had of the top and bottom photo, to show what I meant by affectionate expressions. The thing in the middle was just there and I could care less.

But then again if they’d put Orihime in that scene instead of Rukia, I could see more of the Ichihime that was suddenly at the end of the series.

Urahara: I need your help.

Grimmjow: Mpf. What does it make you think I'll help a Shinigami?

Urahara: Maybe the fact that Yhwach will destroy Hueco Mundo too...

Grimmjow: ...

Urahara: ...and that I casually have with me many pictures of Kurosaki-kun in very different situations. Last month he went to the onsen.

Grimmjow: ...okay, we can talk about this.

[sleepylapwing]

Random moment afterwards, Ichigo sees a random square of his face/body.

Ichigo: *glares at Grimmjow* What is this?

Grimmjow: Payment for helping your sorry ass and those shinigami fucks.

Ichigo: *glares harder* Patment from who?

Grimmjow totally throwing Kisuke under the bus: The weird blonde with the striped hat.

Elsewhere

Kisuke: I suddenly have a deep fear for my life...
