Someone said they hate it when Ichiruki shippers make Ichigo Rukia’s vice captain in fanfics and fan art because it’s a major insult to Ichigo’s growth??? Excuse me, don’t you mean Kubo is a major insult to Ichigo’s growth?

Because since Ichigo is the big man with the big sword there’s no way he’d be subordinate to Rukia, despite her having decades of experience and rank over him. A lot of the complaints about it I see are self-inserting dudebros who think of women as lesser than and refuse to acknowledge Rukia’s abilities bc she doesn’t hack and slash everything like Ichigo does, and bc she’s a woman. The misogyny is real.

Personally I could have totally seen Ichigo becoming her lieutenant and being happy to fight side-by-side with the Soul Reaper who gave him the power he wields to begin with 😌

You can hate on Ichihime but you can never erase the fact that that is canon and the one true ending Tite Kubo envisioned from the get go regardless of your own wishes

Anon I would never want to erase y’alls ending

I’d never take away from you a whole page and a half of Ichigo finally calling Orihime by her first name and neither of them knowing where their young child is

Perish the thought 💕

Someone said that Ichiruki shippers make Ichigo act so OOC in fanfics and we make Ichigo act like some bitchboy who can’t wipe his own ass without Rukia. Why was Ichigo soo down until Rukia showed up? Why was Ichigo soo boring during the fullbring arc? Who stopped his rain? I’ll wait.

It’s because Ichigo is in fact a bitchboy who can’t wipe his own ass without Rukia

Did we forget how fuckin useless he was the whole time she was gone, and how all he talked about was how long she’d been gone and whether or not he’d even be able to handle life after she was no longer around him

“I wonder, can I keep up with it?

The speed of the world without you in it?”

Like I know we’ve beat this dead horse to a pulp but what fucking 15-year-old boy says that about someone he doesn’t have some serious feelings for

If we think about it, it is always Rukia giving Ichigo the power to actually do anything, from the first chapter, to the Fullbring Arc, and all the way through to the Blood War Arc. Without Rukia Ichigo’s life is nothing but a constant rain of depression and a sense of powerlessness. She’s literally everything to him and while some writers do push just how literally they take that, they aren’t doing anymore harm than Kubo did by butchering his own manga bc he got pissy that some fans didn’t like his fave

Also fan fiction is by the fans for the fans and our writers are just giving the people what they want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wait, you mean to tell me, there were 3 other people besides me, who gave you the same idea for an edit? Wow!

The same chapter the same scene and the same concept all three times ;-; great minds think alike haha

in your follow spree post why does it say minors can’t reblog?

Since I’m an adult (27 atm, 28 in 2 months!) I don’t feel it’s appropriate for me to follow people under 18, so I’d rather minors just not reblog the post to help me avoid accidentally following them. I always check for about/info pages now anyway but not reblogging the post at all just makes it that much easier

It’s not to be mean or anything, it’s just for my own comfort, I hope this makes sense ^^”

Hiya Tachi! Since you're taking reqs again I have this idea for a Bleach edit. Could you take the scene where Rukia reads the book in chapter 3 , and in your edit she mocks how much of a trashfire the canon story ended up being?

I’ve gotten asked about this like 4 times now and I am SO SORRY it’s still not been posted but I have it in my WIPs folder, I lost my other asks about it and honestly forgot because every time I went to work on it something came up ;-; but I will definitely finish it, and I thank you for having so much patience with me ^^”

Do you have a favorite Ghibli movie? :)

I held onto this ask to think about a bit bc I love a lot of the Ghibli films, but I have to say my absolute favorite is Howl’s Moving Castle. The visuals, the score, the atmosphere all set you up for a heartwarming story that you just want to experience over and over again. I adore Calcifer and I love seeing Sophie and Howl’s relationship start and then grow into something that’s just magical. Sophie herself is such a strong character and I really looked up to her strength and perseverance as a kid

“Your hair looks just like starlight” is peak romance and the only line that hits harder is “a heart’s a heavy burden”

12/10 I cried the first time I watched it at age 12 and at age 27 I’m tearing up just thinking about it now :’)

I watched the Live Action Bleach with a friend the other day. After watching, they asked me "Will Ichigo and Rukia get together?" I didn't have the heart to tell them.

just tell them the series ends here :)

aka the place where Kubo should have ended Bleach when the characters had development that mattered
