Kenpachi isn't much of a kisser. He doesn't mind a kiss on his cheeks but don't expect him to initiate a kiss or kiss you back. He does make out during sex but it is more like him devouring your mouth as he can't get enough of you. There are no tender or passionate kisses from him.
He isn't much of a hugger either. The only physical touch he has to offer is fucking or protective. He will carry you to safety and take a bullet (or bankai) for you. He will become your ultimate shield.
He isn't possessive or the jealous type. He does expect loyalty and has full trust that you will be loyal.
He doesn't pay much attention to fine details. He may miss your birthday or anniversary but you know it's because he lives in the moment. He doesn't plan for anything and enjoys life for what it is. He has taught you how to slow down a little and stop fussing over the small stuff. He is surprisingly grounded most of the time until someone challenges him or it's time to fuck.
Foreplay ain't his thing. Too slow. Just fuck and fuck some more. Ain't got the patience to taunt your clit and tease your nipples when he can do both, tease and fuck. He is as feral as he looks. If his cock is already hard, why tickle around it when he is ready to bury it into your wet pussy. And if your pussy ain't wet yet, all it takes is a single flick of his muscular tongue and your hole is Kenpachi cock ready.
Love language is there. Even he isn't aware of it. He likes to shower you with gifts. Anything you set your eyes on, it's in your hands the same day even if he has to fist fight someone for short supply.
He will never say “i love you”. He will demonstrate it instead.
•harribel is a very cool character. I like the fact that she isn’t allowed to even release her zanpakuto in Hueco Mundo just because it’s too powerful! She’s not a villain in my eyes at all.
Otps:
•I think I’d ship harribel with nel, only before her big fight w noitora, or in an au where she’s not a literal child that turns into a big sexy lady 🙄 I’d also ship her with Rangiku, but that’s more of a crack ship.
Brotps:
•Mila rose, sun sung, and emilou of course but they become annoying after too long. Nelliel and Grimmjow are other arrancars shed be friends with! She’d also be very close to Charlotte!
Unpopular opinion:
•she’s a Lesbian yearning! I don’t think she’d like hanging out with men at all. I think they annoy her, she is uncomfortable around them, and if she ever heard a sexist /racist/misogynistic/transphobic/ homophobic comment or “joke” she would not hesitate to call it out and threaten a duel. She’d easily beat anyone’s ass for not respecting women, and she obliterates terfs on SIGHT!
What I wish happened:
•I wish her design was different ofc, I wish we got to see her more especially after the aizen arc.
Here are some ways to get the man eating pussy like a starved man:
Wash said pussy with his favourite detergent. The smell will lure him like bees on honey. I feel like he will like the smell of lime. Don't use body wash or fragrances. Use something with anti-septic qualities. Yes it will sting a little, but it would get his face right between your legs.
Hang a hefty research grand in front of his (or pussy). He knows what application he needs to sign with his cock. It might look like a bribe or payment, but he actually is turned on with the sight of all those funds.
Play hard to get. He might not come for you but if you show a slight bit of interest in the beginning and it catches his attention for a split nanosecond and later you decide to act like he is “so whatever”, well that nanosecond was enough of an investment of his time. He is hooked and ready to explore you- both for research and sexual gratification. Continue to avoid him and reject him and hurt his ego. It will stir up his creativity on how he plans to claim you.
Be a compassionate caregiver to Nemu. Share the burden of raising her with him.
Don't kiss his ass. Not literally because he loves physical ass kissing. But don't suck up to him. He hates the fake admiration.
Bickers and banters is his love language. Degrade him once in a while. It might be a hit or a miss, depending on his mood and hormones. So you learn to smell his mood and respond from that.
Be degraded. Give him reasons to degrade you. Dress like a slut and come to work, plug your holes while in a meeting, sleep around with other staff members in front of him, follow orders and put on a leash. He won't be able to resist you.
Give him a chance. What's the worse that could happen? Your pussy is put on display? 💀
I’m taking a bee medicine course right now, which of course is making me extremely curious about how the hell butterflies in Bleach are cared for… we know it’s the job of new, (probably) unseated shinigami to care for them (at least in 6th).
How many butterflies are there? Does each squad get their own colony? Are they bred for specific functions? What do they eat? In regards to this specific panel, the jigokuchou decoy that Rikichi is waving around has very different coloration than the one he is chasing. So are all the hell butterflies we see male? Kinda like how in a beehive all the worker bees are female, maybe in jigokuchou all the workers are male?
From a population health standpoint, it doesn’t seem great to have a bunch of butterflies traveling all over the place and intermingling with butterflies from different squads. What is their lifespan? How do squads get more of them? What is their lifespan? Is it like a mail-order thing with monarch butterflies?
How has SS managed to turn butterfly husbandry into a competition? (because everything in SS is a competition.) Like do different divisions pride themselves on some aspect of their butterfly crop?
In my head, the butterflies in 11th (if they have any that they manage to keep alive) were bred for speed, but they can only carry a very short message. Another squad, like 10th, bred theirs to carry long messages, but they’re not very fast. 6th said fuck it, and theirs are just very pretty and have a distinctive flight pattern (in the way that there are fancy gaited horses, 6th has gaited hell butterflies).
I wonder if the advance team was deployment was BYOB or if everyone just had to use a 10th butterfly. Once they started doing these multi-squad deployments, they had to write new hell butterfly protocol. Because if something happens to one of the butterflies while being assigned to a shinigami from another squad, who takes responsibility for it?
Bonus: You notice how the hell butterflies kinda like, stop showing up after a certain point in the series, in regards to carrying messages? Do you think this means all of them got killed off during one of the invasions? Maybe that’s why they end up having so many captains’ meetings as the series progresses. All the hell butterflies died, so they just have a bunch of “this could have been a hell butterfly communication” meetings. (It never really occurred to them that keeping all the hell butterfly stock in one place was a bad idea, but then a giant explosion took them all out at the same time and it was... too late.)
Bonus bonus: Why the HELL did they even choose butterflies in the first place? Wouldn't birds be the more obvious choice? They fly AND they talk...
Going to be 100% predictable here: 💛, ❤️🩹, and 😋 for Toshiro, Momo, and Rangiku
From this ask game~
(I apologize ahead of time for this absolute wall of text but there are two of us with lots of thoughts and no ability to be coherent or succinct)

💛- Brotp
Hitsugaya - I'm gonna have to be predictable here, and go with Matsumoto and Hitsugaya. They have such a wonderful depth to their relationship, and unlike most other Captain/Vice-Captain pairs, they have a long history too! (lol not to blast Byakuya and Renji but at the start of the series these two barely know each other) I think that long working knowledge together makes them one of the strongest pairs in the Gotei 13, which is an organization that really seems to value individual strength, but not working together? Which is good and all, but like... you would never get a badass ash/ice wall without two shinigami who understood each other's strengths/weaknesses really well, and then used them to their advantage. Obviously teamwork makes the dream work!
Hinamori - I love Academy Days Renji/Kira/Hinamori. They're so adorable together as they're coming up in the world, and I think there's something very special about bonds forged at school. I think when they graduated, Hinamori made them all a photo scrapbook that they Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants-around throughout the years and add to every once in awhile. The pages that Kira makes are usually somewhat straightforward, but nice. Renji puts in pages that are usually activity themed (futsal stickers anyone?), and Hinamori makes pages that are nostalgia-inducing.
Matsumoto - Ok, but who DOESN'T Matsumoto have chemistry with?? The possibilities are endless. I already talked about why Hitsugaya/Matsumoto is so good together, so I will choose someone else to talk about for her. Not sure if this is necessarily a Brotp, but I love thinking about Matsumoto being a big sister to Yuzu and Karin. She already acts in that capacity for many of the other characters (Rukia, Orihime, etc), so can you imagine her with Isshin's daughters? I think she would be a very good influence on them, in terms of knowing even better how to get on Isshin's nerves. He'd probably hate it, but love it all the same, to see his former vice-captain influencing his kids (for better or worse).
❤️🩹- Angsty headcanon
Hitsugaya - I don't think this is an original take at all, but as the designated "tensai" character of the series, I think Hitsugaya is rather isolated. He didn't really have a childhood where he got to play with children his age, and then he went straight into the academy, full of people older than himself. Now, he has what is arguable the most Grown Up Job in all of the Seireitei, and he still doesn't get many opportunities to let his guard down and just act silly. Even while everyone else around him gets to carouse and relax occasionally, he's afraid if he joins in, he'll just be seen as childish. So he hangs back, and watches everyone else have fun, all the while wishing he could join.
Hinamori - Prior to Aizen's defection, Hinamori used to regularly make up excuses to visit Hitsugaya. Whether it was bringing over baked goods that she made "too many of" or asking him whether he'd read any good books lately, she really just wanted to make sure he was taking care of himself. But afterward... she didn't seek him out for a long time. She told herself it was because she didn't want to make him worry about her (he already has enough on his plate), but a small part of her was haunted by the look of hatred and ferocity he had in his eyes when he impaled her during the Winter War. Logically, she knew those feelings weren't meant for her, but she still couldn't get it out of her head that they could be. After all, she had accused him of some terrible things, and even attacked him. It wasn't out of the realm of possibility that he might hate her.
Matsumoto - After Ichimaru dies, birthdays are very difficult for her. Not just because he's the one who gave her her birthday, but also because it's a reminder of the passage of time, and what once was. Normally she loves any excuse to celebrate, and birthdays are a great opportunity for it, but she's never happy on her birthday. She uses to occasion to drink even more than usual, because it's better to be overly inebriated than to think.
😋- Funny/stupid headcanon
Hitsugaya- At some point, maybe when life gets less crazy and people stop invading Soul Society Hitsugaya wants a pet cat. He thinks they're cute and soft and he enjoys their quiet company. (I don't know if this is really based on anything, I just feel it's true in my heart of hearts)
(Yup, we did indeed steal an Arakawa cat for this, and we regret none of it. Let it never be said B3 didn’t commit to the bit.)
Hinamori - Not sure if this is funny/stupid, but Hinamori is insanely good at puzzles. Not just jigsaw puzzles, but also logic-game ones like sudoku and kakuro. She likes to do them on her breaks, and she's always the first to complete the sudoku/kakuro puzzles in the latest issues of Seireitei Communications. Her unmatched superiority at puzzles is also why she's so good at using kidou spells and weaving them together in innovative ways.
Matsumoto - No one has ever seen Matsumoto with a bad hair day. And this is because they do not exist for her. Her hair is just like that naturally, much to the chagrin of Yumichika. Sure, she takes care of her hair, but doesn't have any special regimen or products that she uses.

Brevity is not the soul of my wit.

Hitsugaya - This is something I think about a lot… and the stupidity of this HC comes from how often I think about it, lol. But like, the scene post winter-war where Hitsugaya is training bankai in a cave. I get the reasoning for this, but when rock is subjected to stress (for instance, the volumetric expansion of moisture contained in/between rock as it becomes ice) it cracks, and Hitsugaya has definitely brought that cave down on himself at least once. I mean, he obviously knows how ice works. I don’t think it was a surprise. But lol how embarrassing? (Maybe it was a BOGO thing—built-in kekkai training too?) Just out here CAUSING EROSION...
Hinamori - Some time after the publication of the Seireitei Communications Birthday Edition (and Hinamori’s heroism in getting it fit to print), one of the regular staff approached Hinamori about collaborating on a new artistic feature. Hinamori stopped dead in her tracks, put a hand firmly on the editor’s shoulder, and smiled. "Absolutely not," she intoned, so coldly that it was not until hours later, in the comfort of his own quarters, the editor thawed enough to burst into tears, wholly incognizant of the reason for them. Unless it has already been proofed, polished, and published, Hinamori is never touching that magazine again.
Matsumoto - Junrinan Grandma sometimes makes off-color jokes about Matsumoto being a home invader (Matsumoto’s sudden appearance inside her home in the dead of night to have a heart to heart with baby Hitsugaya was their first introduction to each other). Given the somewhat shaky reputations of shinigami to many Rukongai residents, Matsumoto honestly cannot tell if the jokes are really jokes or not. Hitsugaya refuses to clarify the matter, which leads Matsumoto to believe that it probably is a joke and not that serious, except then Hitsugaya regarded her very seriously and said, "You’d trust my interpretation of a joke?" and Matsumoto is pretty sure that’s a joke (...right?), but in any case, the saga is ongoing.
❤️🩹- Angsty headcanon
Hitsugaya - I simply cannot believe that reconstituting your body to augment its ability to function as a sausageskin for bankai power is actually good for you. I don’t think that that TYBW form was the organic, intentional way Hyourinmaru’s bankai is supposed to go. My headcanon is that after pulling that off under duress, it takes years (possibly ten of them) to "undo" the messiness of its aftermath. Patience is a virtue, but I think the angst comes in because during that time Hitsugaya really had no way of knowing that Soul Society *was* going to see peace for the duration of those ten years. And if they didn’t, he did know he wasn’t going to be able to meet the demand. His epilogue smile as he’s talking about that peace is one of very personal relief.
Hinamori - Whenever she messes something up, or isn’t quite good enough at something, or even just has an off day, there’s a >50% chance someone around her will attribute it to her trauma at the hands of Aizen. This is more damaging to her than it would be for someone to see her faults as entirely her own. Her reactions/responses aren’t always healthy, and it can be a compounding vicious cycle.
Matsumoto - Contending with her "greatly diminished" lifespan as a result of Mayuri’s zombie cure is really hard for her. For all the regular reasons that any other shinigami would share, but it also feels like it moves up the deadline for things she might want to experience, and hadn’t previously given much thought to—romance, marriage, children. This is especially difficult because, well. Who’s she going to talk to about these things? Hitsugaya?? Basically all of the women she knows are younger than her, and it feels like all of these life events are probably even further from their minds than they had been from hers. It’s isolating.
💛- Brotp
I wanted to talk about potential pairups that I think would be interesting, even though they may not actually be my dyed-in-the-wool 100% brotp. …BUT MAYBE THEY WILL BE IN MY FUTURE.
Hitsugaya & Zaraki. We talk about Hitsugaya and Byakuya, but Hitsugaya, Byakuya, and Zaraki spent a LOT of time together in the reigai arc and I think the OT3 needs to be acknowledged. I think Hitsugaya and Byakuya like working together because it’s easy for them to understand and predict what the other will do. However, they are both amenable to working with Zaraki because he is actually also easy to predict, albeit in a... completely different way. Also, Zaraki has never once asked a personal question of anyone, which to Hitsugaya merits some commendation.
Hinamori & Sasakibe. I can never quite tell what the protocol is for seeking an audience with the Captain Commander, because sometimes it seems like there’s a lot of pomp and circumstance around it and sometimes Hitsugaya is just like "yeah, I went and dropped off a report." So do random shinigami just like, wander into his office to shoot the shit sometimes, or do these mystical reports need to be personally walked over midday, Captain-to-Commander, with no intermediary, because access to the guy is a big deal? Anyway, my point is, Hinamori sought an audience with Yamamoto, and asked for AND GOT permission just to talk to Hitsugaya on the incredible Fancy Worm TV, and I feel like there’s a story there. I’d love to know more about how that all came to be, and what it was like for Sasakibe and Hinamori to witness each other in the wake of Aizen’s betrayal (of Hinamori, of Yamamoto, of Soul Society).
Matsumoto & Rukia. I feel like Matsumoto might be someone Rukia used to actively avoid one-on-one time with, because Matsumoto’s exuberance can sometimes make Rukia feel a bit inadequate and more wallflower-y than Rukia has imagined her ideal self to be. Plus, Matsumoto is one of Renji’s Friends and Rukia basically only knows her in the context of Many of Renji’s Friends Mutually Getting Shitfaced. But they become closer once Rukia makes VC and Matsumoto is the one to welcome her into the fold. Re: my Angst HC above, I imagine Rukia’s pregnancy with Ichika also opens up a new dimension of Matsumoto and Rukia’s relationship, especially since birth/pregnancy amongst shinigami seems rare to begin with.
