Oooh ??? :)

=) Indeed

-----------

Kisuke dragged himself through the woods, hand pressed to his side in a futile attempt to staunch the bleeding. He needed… he needed a place to rest. A place to deal with his wounds.

(Tessai was going to lock him in the shoten /forever/ at this rate.)

(Damn Hollows. Damn need to keep himself hidden.)

He stumbled. Caught himself on a tree. Breathed through the burning agony.

(He needed to sit down before he /fell down/…)

Kisuke closed his eyes and focused, pushing what little reiatsu he had left into a healing kido. It fluttered against his side like a poorly wrapped bandage, slowing but not stopping the bleeding he could ill afford.

(Useless. /Useless/. Too weak, too disoriented…)

(This was how he died..?)

(Pathetic…)

moon6shadow-main replied to your post “Sentinel AU Part 2”

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy the angst and feeling and /pain/ Just !!!!! This is amazing and awesome and FEELS. Also let’s throw out the time line Urahara is here! Now I wonder what that changes. :D I’m guessing Chad is the other Sentinal? Also the way Ishida’s soul works is intriguing and Ishida’s reaction /makes so much sense/. Anyone else looking in would probably be screaming WHY at him (1)

(Cut for dark topics)

But from the inside... it just makes so much sense. Ishida loves order and control and to be out of control and /helpless/ during such a critical moment and then to have his own power /‘betray’/ him when he needs it most. Well no wonder he decided to do some pruning. It actually reminds me a lot of the Vizard ‘mutilating’ their souls by locking their hollowfied zanpakuto because if they had two spirits like Ichigo does they may well have tried to simply remove (kill) the hollow spirit. 2      

(That got darker then expected) Belated warning of head mates almost deaths. (Ahem sorry ptsdven) There is actually a fanfic where Ichigo took Shiro’s power and then killed him. Zan was /horrified/ and secretly saved Shiro and then had to deal with a weirder who had little contact him and zero understanding of why his zanpakuto was suddenly shying away from him meanwhile Zan is in a horrified shock at his other half being murdered or attempted murdered and that Ichigo /could do that/. 3       

When from Ichigo’s point of view and a shinigami point of view it would make sense. Plus Ichigo’s Mum being murdered by a hollow etc. So the parallels here are interesting particually if Ichigo in this story drew parallels between his hollow and Ishida brutally rejecting his Sentinal powers in a fit of lack of understanding and pain or even if it made him think... maybe even gave Ishida and Ichigo another point in common so they could help each other for hurt/comfort? 4        

(Before anyone asks no I don’t remember what story that was. (If anyone does please let me know, it’s likely on AO3 or FanFiction) Hunting through my AO3 bookmarks did help me find ‘Trust by Acidwing’ a dabble Oneshot for anyone who wants a quick pick me up of Vizards who trust their hollowfied zanpakutos and teach Ichigo the same. :) 5            

So yeah, this is.. a very dark AU albeit things get better as time goes on. And yes, Chad is the other Sentinel that Ichigo pulls in.

I had fun with the various descriptions of Uryuu’s soul and how he ends up perceiving the world as a sentinel. It’s an interesting concept to play with, and I really do love the Sentinel trope, even if I’m making it kind of dark here XD

Well Ichigo and Ishida meet long before the Shinigami nonsense, so mostly it’s just Ichigo being Ichigo and thus kind and gentle and a friend when Uryuu needs him most. And then Chad comes in and is ALSO like that, so by the time the Shinigami nonsense happens, the three of them are a pretty close-knit group. XD

That moment when you’re away for awhile and now you’re going ‘What did I miss?’ So now I keep scrolling past this eyeing it and thinking ‘Aka… what did you do!?’ (Mentally eyeing the horizon wondering what crazy au is going to appear next because knowing Aka it could be anything ( XD :)

Just actually writing the Bleach/Log Horizon crossover, that’s all!

I actually don’t think there’s been many new AUs lately, just continuations of old ones. Between winter depression and the downturn in people giving a fuck about tumblr since the policy change, there’s just not been as much prompting or inspiration or desire to post things here these days.

moon6shadow-main replied to your post: idk if you've already answered it but, curious. In...

Huh, well _that’s_ interesting. Particually if it changes how they interact with Ichigo. More little twists from cannon leading to different alternatives. Hmm.. wonder if Ishida being Quincy will come more to the forefront this time as well.

It already sort of has, I just... haven’t written it yet because the start of it is over in Tiger Cubs. One of these days I’ll get back to that side story, whoops.

...facepalm I actually forgot about that one. I’ve been rereading and catching up on AO3 and Wordpress but the bleach/log horizons au isn’t there so oops. >.> XD :) (I’ve just been enjoying all the others that have been posted on AO3 & Wordpress. :D Oh ouch, yes I can see that not being good for writing inspiration. I was wondering around on pillowfort for a little while but haven’t really looked at the social aspect of fandom in a few months after heading back to AO3. (1)

Sounds like everyone is still scattered to the four winds right now. Not sure if things have picked up for fandom anywhere else? Although it sounds like you’ve been having fun on discord at some point. :) (2)                   

Although, muses on log horizon/bleach crossover does this mean inspiration for more or cleaning them up to officially post? :) I need to reread them now to remind me what the girls are doing. XD :) Although young or not I’m still expecting Karin to learn to fight younger then she did in cannon, to protect her sister from a (more) visible threat if nothing else.  So some fighting skills but not joining the main group.... oh wait some of the log horizons main characters are really young (3)    

So she and Yuri might fall in with them :/ well fun story wise but young... I forget how young they all are...             

I only put the old AUs on Wordpress as I start to work on them again. It’s just less hassle on my part that way, and some of the AUs or drabbles will probably never get carried over because they’re done.

I haven’t been doing anything on Pillowfort. It’s just not really... I don’t know. There’s not much there and it feels like there really isn’t a large Bleach community there either, so I feel very awkward at the thought of how often I post something -- in such a small community, that sort of unilateral flood is... not what I want to do.

So yeah, fandom is pretty separated and I think a lot of people either scattered to twitter or retreated into private discord servers. A fair number of people did come into the server I made, yeah, and it’s been pretty nice. Just makes it really lonely here on tumblr since some people don’t use the site anymore.

As for the Bleach/Log Horizon crossover, it’s actually me writing it right from the start. I’ve got about 600 new words that should blend into another segment I’ve written to make the opening of the story.

Yuzu and Karin are ten years old in this story. They’re ten years old and their characters are barely level 3 because they just started playing a week or so before in preparation for the expansion pack coming out which had something that interested them (on top of wanting to spend more time with Ichigo). And no, they’re not joining the main group, they’re going to join my OC Guild XD They do learn to fight monsters, though! Nothing really big, but low level fun things with some other experienced players around to help out.

The youngest LH character that I know about are the twins Minori and Tohya who are about 13, I believe. So I’m pretty sure I made Yuzu and Karin the youngest trapped players known, thus the whoops. They’ll get to interact with people about their age, of course, but I’m not getting them mixed up in the Hamelin Guild mess. That’s just cruel and nope, can’t do that to them.

Chuckles, Okay so minions are creatures from the Despicable Me movie although they also have their own Minions movie now. Some of them have only one eye and they are very small people. Their shape changes a bit but you could consider them roughly the same shape as your tree. :)

Basically the top ornament make it look like it a one eyed minion to me. :)                    

Yeah, I know what minions are, I just... don’t really see the similarity, especially given the color.

This is what it is, a cactaur from the Final Fantasy series. We’re just... ridiculous gamer geeks who like our little skittish cactus monsters who can murder us with 1000 Needles.

moon6shadow-main replied to your photo “Christmas cactaur has been caught and decorated for another year~”

I’m just looking at that bulb and going ‘minions!!!’ XD (Not sure if that’s intentional on your part? :)

??? I don’t... actually know what you’re referring to. I can’t see anything that looks minion-y about the cactaur or his ornaments? Unless you mean the gold ornament hanging off his right elbow? Because it’s just a plain gold orb that’s got some weird reflections going on.

Glad the hear the cats are safe!

Vaguely betrayed by vet visits, which Laharl has to go back for, but fine. We’re still in a bit of limbo at the moment but... hopefully things will be alright.
