My little story as an Ichihime fan
God, it doesnt feel like I first started to watch Bleach 8 years ago (arround may or june of 2008) I was just a 10 years old weird little girl who happened to pass the channels on the TV when I came across Bleach, I remember it well, the chapter was the one where Rukia left to the SS with byakuya and Renji leaving Ichigo on the ground, I dont know how much of it I saw but then I might just changed the channel when commercials started
Then, a couple of weeks passed and I came trough Bleach again, this time was Ichigo, Chad, Ishida and Orihime training, and I remember watching how Orihime wanted to give her own food to Ichigo even when she was obviously still hungry as fuck, and I thought it was the cutest thing ever, that’s how everything started
Thing is, that on april of 2009 I was already reading the manga, The Lust arc was airing back then, I grew up the next couples of years and on 2011, I wasnt even 13 yet, that was the time when I created the Ichihime (spanish) fanpage on facebook, that now is +33.000 fans long, and for 5 years I’ve enjoyed the ride of shipping this amazing couple, of course not everything has been rainbows, I’ve got hacked along with other Ichihime admins and our FB accounts were deleted(we were lucky they just hacked 4 of us but the 5th member was still there) , pictures of me have been posted, I’ve recieved insults from people I dont even know, the list goes on an on, but hey it’s the internet, most people here are assholes
But then again, there are the other part who are not, those who have stuck with me from the beginning, all my Ichihime friends, I fucking love you guys, I’m 18 now and all this stuff I’ve shared with you was so worth it, Im not singing victory yet, but Im just milimeters to do it, the time has come guys, and everything seems pointing in our direction, I love you all, so let’s get ready :)
