☕ the lack of good chappy themed merchandise in the real world

"Now THIS is a rant everyone should pay attention to!"
"Chappy is the most popular design in the Soul Society! Everybody loves Chappy! Obviously Chappy has the best design!" She quickly sketched out a Chappy for demonstration purposes as she continued ranting.
"Look at this! The way the ears are elongated and curved at the top. The way the eyes sparkle! The cute button nose that wiggles and the mouth that is just perfect!" She lowered her drawing and continued with complete seriousness.
"Chappy embodies all that is good! Have you ever met a villain that loved Chappy?! NO! Aizen? Chappy Hater. The Espada? Never heard of Chappy. Ywach? Known Chappy loather! Do you see my point?! SO WHY IS THERE SO LITTLE CHAPPY MERCHANDISE? Chappy exposure would help decrease the amount of evil in the world! There should be a Chappy doll in every store in the World of the Living!! It's absolutely unacceptable!"
"I should discuss this with Urahara and remedy this travesty immediately."
The back of his hair was starting getting longer, locks hitting his shirt collar. Some of them stuck out, pieces he worried whenever he was thinking. Her fingers twitched, almost aching to feel his hair, scratch his scalp.
~ So I’m minding my own business, reading a fanfic by one of my mutuals @hesesols (who is an amazing writer btw) and what do I see in the author’s notes???
To say I fangirl-ed to see my name and my hc being used by one of my favorite fic authors!! It always surprises me to find out someone else reads my stuff on Rukia lol ~
Link to the fic (because it is awesome and I’m hooked!)
Hands over a collection of poems that Ichigo has been dedicating to a certain white moon in his life.
Don't ask me how I got my hands on it. Just know that the man will never admit to it if confronted.🌝🌝🌝

Rukia's fingers gripped the brown paper that wrapped whatever was contained inside. A simple string of twine tied around it to keep it together. She looked back up, wanting to question the masked stranger that had handed her this package but they had seemingly vanished!
"How strange..." She frowned, tucking the package into her uniform to look at after she'd completed her patrol of the area.
~
It had taken longer than she expected but Rukia finally finished her duties for the day. She sat on the roof of Ichigo's house, sensing him asleep and not wanting to disturb that. The moon was full and provided just enough lighting as her nimble fingers undid the twine knot and opened the wrapped... papers? It looked like a collection of different colored paper; some slightly yellowing with age, others folded with several crease lines etched into them. Some pages looked quite new, crisp and clean. She recognized the handwriting instantly. "Ichigo?"
Her fingers picked up one of the older pages, eyes skimming down the characters, occasionally stopping at unfamiliar foreign words. There was a rhythm to them and it became obvious that they were poems of various kinds! She glanced around her, making sure there was no one else in the vicinity. Reading this seemed so intimate for some reason, like peering into part of Ichigo's soul that had been hidden from her.
She was contemplating wrapping them back up and returning them to his room when her eyes caught on some particular verses...
and where you go, I feel compelled to follow
pulled along by fate lest I turn hollow
cause without you the rain begins anew
I'm lost without those eyes so purple blue
another...
When your blade pierced through my chest, I swear I felt it then That unmistakable draw to see you again
cause without you, there is no light and I can hardly breathe
and truth be told, with this unknown, in agony, I wreathe
and another...
the days are dark, the nights are bleak, your absence is my curse there is nothing now, no light or sound; the moon just makes things worse
how quickly you've forgotten me; can you not hear me scream?
For when I sleep, the face I see haunts my every dream
Your eyes still wet, your lips still red; that image burned eternal
but one day now, I'll see you again and voice what stayed internal
"These poems... are about me?" Her voice was barely above a whisper, the night sky still and quiet as if observing the intimate revelation unfolding. Her hand when unbidden toward her mouth, covering it as she continued to read verse after verse of Ichigo's heart that he poured into this writing. It felt necessary in a way. He would never have told her these feelings, the way she cut his soul by not visiting, the way she haunted his dreams...

send 💕 for a love headcanon
Rukia loves very deeply but shows her affection in a more physical way. Because of the way she grew up in the Rukongai, she isn’t one to touch another very freely. She doesn’t give hugs out or hold hands easily. (obviously this excludes touch that occurs out of necessity or politeness). So when someone has gotten past the walls Rukia has put up, she tends to show her affection more physically. When Rukia is in a stable relationship with someone and feels secure and safe, this is demonstrated to even greater degree.
send 🦄 for a physical health headcanon
So I’ve always played around with the hc that Hisana’s lung issue was genetic and therefore something that could happen with Rukia in the future. We don’t really see any evidence of this in the manga or anime so I’m reaching a bit here but my current stance on this is that Byakuya is always worried on some level that the same illness that took Hisana from him would also take Rukia one day. I imagine he has access to her medical records with squad 4 (cause why would the soul society have HIPPA laws, am I right?) just to reassure himself that there isn’t any issue. Idk, it’s just a hc I play with sometimes.
send 🍯 for a food headcanon
Ahh a food headcanon? Let’s make it angsty because I can, shall we? So in the Rukongai, food was scarce and it more often than not that Rukia would go days without eating. We learn that most souls don’t have to eat so Rukia and Renji are a bit unique in their gang for needing food and sustenance due to their spiritual pressures. Even in the Academy, I imagine Rukia had to continue to ration and possibly steal food to survive. I based this off the fact that it appears to be “rare” to have someone from as far in the Rukongai as Rukia and Renji in the academy.
So in psychology, lack of food security can have some pretty significant effects. With her adoption into the Kuchiki’s, food was no longer scarce for her but she lost her only close friend and “family”. So Rukia’s relationship with food has always been unstable. Now, I don’t think she has an eating disorder or anything like that. Rukia’s most likely just indifferent when it comes to food. She eats because it’s necessary but otherwise doesn’t bother.
I do think that food is a significant part of whether she feels secure in a relationship or not. It may not be significant to others, but I think it’s significant on a subconscious level for Rukia as a measure of security in her life. When Kaien provides food and drink for her during their training, I think it subconsciously reinforced the security as well as his words of how he would defend her with his life which is the first time anyone (besides maybe Renji in their early days?) would have said anything remotely like that to her.
send🥛for a drink headcanon
A slightly less angsty hc for you on this one! When surviving, Rukia drank water. I think anything other than water was considered a luxury in Hanging Dog. I imagine in the Academy, tea was more widely available and, of course, that would have been available in the Kuchiki household as well. The reason I bring this up is because Rukia seems to really enjoy juice in the World of the Living! I know the juice box scene isn’t in the manga but imagine how Rukia would have felt drinking something so flavorful and so different from water or tea?! It’s just a cute moment that I think impacted her a lot. She references it again with Hanataro while in prison which is just an odd moment to bring up, right? But I think it’s one of those key “insignificant” differences that Ichigo brought into her life.
send 🍬 for a family headcanon
Family is extremely important for Rukia. It’s all she ever wanted! From the beginning in the Rukongai, she formed her own family with Renji and others. As they died one by one until it was just Renji and herself, Rukia made a decision to go with Renji to the Seireitei. This wasn’t what Rukia wanted. She didn’t want to become a Soul Reaper in the beginning. She wanted a family and the freedom to live the way she wanted. She knew that becoming a soul reaper would mean giving up the freedom she valued so much. But it was Renji’s dream and I truly believe that Rukia knew if she didn’t go with him, she’d lose Renji and he was all she had left family wise.
I could expand on this but it might need to be it’s own hc post cause it’s gonna be long and I feel like this is already too long! haha
