Hello! I'm the same anon that asked you about the Kuchiki characters. Thanks for answering! Since you don't ship Ichigo with Rukia. I was wondering who did you ship him with? I know IchiTatsu is canon in your fic, but you also said you liked GrimmIchi, so I was wondering which one do you like best?
Hello again anon! I'm glad the answer was satisfactory. As for your new question I ship GrimmIchiTatsu as a poly OT3.
I've always seen Ichigo as Bi, so in terms of ships I like him with both boys and girls. I've always thought that Ichigo would fit well with Tatsuki. Like, I get why Ichihime was endgame and they do have cute moments, but what I think Ichigo needs is a partner (or partners) that aren't afraid to butt heads with him. Orihime's too soft for that, but Tatsuki isn't.
She'd be sweet to him and supporting, but she would also tell him off if necessary. Plus their backstory as childhood friends is one of my fave tropes. I've always had a soft spot for them and wish they got more attention in fandom.
GrimmIchi on the other hand, happened because I'm one big sucker for enemies to lovers stories. These two completely loathed eachother, then they were rivals and by the final arc they're sorta friends. Some of their lines are like soooo shippy! I wonder if Kubo did that on purpose, because dang! does Grimmjow come across as an angry boi with a crush. They understand each other's motivations well, and Ichigo did save Grimmjow from Nnoitra back in the Hueco Mundo Arc. Plus Grimmjow, like Tatsuki would call Ichigo out when he's being a stubborn bean.
I also like Grimmjow and Tatsuki since they'd be a sexy competitive pair. It's crack but the fanart is cute and their strong personalities could lead to chemestry
So in the end I ship all of them together in a happy polyamorous relationship. I do plan on putting Grimmjow on the Roads fics. The thing is each fic concentrates on certain ships. Road to Ruin was mainly Aianna and Ginjo x Jackie, Road to Redemption is Ulquihime and Chadzuka and the next installment is mainly about Ginran, Hitsuhina and Rosezuru. So it'll take until the fourth fic for Grimmy to be added as a main character and for him to get with Ichigo and Tatsuki. It will happen though, because I love this ship and I want to write them
Hope this answers your question anon!
