Santa, All I Want For Christmas Is No More Shinji Scenes Or Dialogue To Be Cut From Cour 3 Or Cour 4

Hello, thank you for the likes and your kindness. ^^

You're welcome! The same goes for you, thanks for liking my old posts!

If Ukitake saw Rukia's bankai

Orihime Rikka outfits! + Silly Ichihime extra

I've started watching Shugo Chara, crating this was my Canon event. I have no self-control. I was unable to draw ANYTHING unless I finished this shit.

This is the post, just a bunch of Hime Designs

Concepts:

Shun-no: nurse??.

Ayame: wife kind of outfit.

Lily: superhero.

Hinagiku: Superspy, that is an alien, so doesn't know how to dress.

Baigon: samurai??

Tsubaki: assassin

Every time the Sternritter celebrate Valentine's Day, the number of their grunts dwindles down💀 (primarily due to Bambietta).

Really true insight, it'll be intriguing if the final chapter gets adapted and people see the full-circle of Aizen's journey to this realization.

Honestly, Bleach is a series that took time for me to understand it's core message on the importance of connections with those who make your life meaningful, especially when that message isn't in your face like other shonen.

Looking at Aizen's actions through that lens makes me think "Aizen doesn't need a backstory to make you feel sorry for him" because his very nature is so devoid of what makes us human no matter how we change as people. So many of Bleach's characters have connections they make with each other and wouldn't be who they are without their friends and adversaries.

It always surprises me when Aizen is mostly perceived as this genius-evil-mastermind like oh he is so crazy, who knows what he'll do next!! (and he is, to a certain extent, don't get me wrong) but the silent victory has Ichigo acknowledge him as a sympathetic but ultimately misguided man who sacrificed everything for godhood only to be reduced to....utter loneliness. And I find that interesting!

Of course, this isn't a Conclusive Take (tm) as Urahara's silence definitely leaves a lot of what Aizen did as up to interpretation, but the loneliness of godhood is definitely an interesting theme, especially when you consider how often it occurs in literature, where the trope of the 'God' character playing around with lives due to his own boredom is so common (see: Frankenstein, all of Greek mythology, etc etc). It isn't a stretch to say Ichigo, the Arrancar, the Vizards, the Hogyoku and even Urahara were all just an experiment to him – pawns he played with to ease his own boredom. It isn't exactly that he's evil...per se. It's that he's innately unable to relate to the lives and struggles of mortal beings, because his quest for more power/scientific discovery/pushing the limitations of nature render him devoid of empathy. The intent is not malicious, it's just...curiosity. Which makes him 10× more creepy, but ultimately not one- dimensional.

I think I read somewhere that people found Aizen to be out-of-character here in his dialogue to Yhwach in 686, but I think this is his character arc coming to a close. When he says 'people,' I think what he really means is himself and how he understands it now, now that he himself isn't as invincible as he once strived to be. When you try to alter the cycle of life, when you try to exist beyond social/existential constructs, it's ultimately a very lonely and isolating existence, and that sometimes the status quo is just a means to an end of connecting with other people (ghosts, whatever) and living in social harmony.

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day to you all! To celebrate, here are some very classy and not at all cheap or cheesy, Bleach Valentines Day Cards brought to you by the Gotei 13 Captains! (Or at least, their Bleach Gree Cards, plus my terrible photoshop skills, anyway... 😅)

Give them to your friends! 🥰

Give them to your enemies! 😈

Give them to your boss! 🥸

 (This is all a joke, please don't do those last two! 😅)

Anyway feel free to use them/give them away to your friends and loved ones, and again Happy Valentine's Day! ☺️

(Special thanks to Bleach Gree Cards for adding all these cards to their blog, thereby preserving them when the website went down!)

Update: The Karakura Kids now have cards as well!!!

I hope you don't mind but your post about your Ginrei story got me thinking about what a meeting between him and Ichigo would look like. It'd be explosive at the very best but maybe not as bad as everyone fears since Ginrei has experience dealing with short-tempered brats and Ichigo has experience dealing with strict old men considering his zanpakuto is one. Byakuya would still have a mild panic attack though.

For Ginrei, it would depend heavily on the context of their meeting. I cannot imagine Ichigo giving even a single shit what Ginrei thinks. I can see Byakuya getting all worked up about it, but on the other hand, at least Ginrei isn’t picking on him. Some possibilities:

Middle of giant battle, Soul Society is in shambles:

Ginrei: Ah, look at this brave and noble youth. A credit to the humans. We must support and protect him.

Everyone is at a Squad 10 Barbecue for Some Reason:

Ichigo: Yo, Byakuya, can I borrow your scarf? I need it for an impression I’m doing of you.

Ginrei: Ha, ha, Grandson, he has called you by your first name, such disrespect!

Ichigo: Hey, Old Dude, can you pass me the barbecue sauce? A+ mustache, by the way.

Ginrei: The insolence–! Grandson, where has your adjutant gone? I need him to hold my beer!

Conclave of Noble Families:

Byakuya: As you see, there are more Shiba.

Ginrei: I loathe the Shiba.

Byakuya: I know. Everyone knows.

Family Dinner:

Rukia: Hello, Grandfather! This is Kurosaki Ichigo, who is my boyfriend in this scenario. He is 15 years old, has orange hair, and is a human but sometimes also a Hollow, a Fullbringer and/or a Quincy. He has never brushed his hair in his entire life.

Ichigo (wearing a t-shirt that says “Be Gay, Do Crimes”): Yo.

Ginrei: I’m going back to my lake house.

These Sternritter posts are legit comedy gold istg

If the Sternritter had to live in Ichigo’s closet...

As requested by anon. :)

Previously we considered what would happen if some shinigami or the espada decided to live in Ichigo’s closet. Now it is the Quincy’s turn! If they, for some unfathomable reason, found themselves crashing in Ichigo’s closet, how would that go?

1. BG9: Treats it like a sleepover

BG9: So…what’s your favorite color?

Ichigo: For the last time, go to sleep!

BG9: But you said no tentacles! How am I supposed to get data without tentacles AND while being quiet?

Ichigo: This is not DATA time, this is SLEEP time!

BG9: This is the worst sleepover ever.

Ichigo: THIS ISN’T A SLEEPOVER

2. Gremmy: Shapes the closet to his will

Ichigo: Hey, I’m gonna go out for a while. You okay?

Gremmy: Oh, I am more than okay!

Gremmy: BEHOLD!

Ichigo: …

Ichigo: …

Ichigo: DID YOU TURN MY CLOSET INTO AN AMUSEMENT PARK???

Gremmy: It’s not my fault your wifi kinda sucks.

3. Giselle: Won’t stop trying to turn Ichigo into a zombie

Giselle: Whoopsie! I cut my finger on a clothes hanger!

Giselle: Go get my a bandaid, Kurosaki!

Ichigo (reading manga in bed): I’m not going near your blood, Giselle.

Giselle: That’s fair.

Giselle: …

Giselle: Want some tomato juice?

Ichigo: CUT IT OUT

4. Quilge: Keeps trying to trap Ichigo in the closet

Ichigo: Let’s see, I think I’ll wear my Nice Vibe shirt today.

Ichigo: Now I’ll - 

Ichigo: What the hell?

Ichigo: Why is the closet closed behind me?

Ichigo: [slides closet open]

Quilge: Congratulations, Kurosaki Ichigo! I cannot believe you escaped my Jail!

Ichigo: It’s not hard to open a closet from the inside.

Quilge: Not hard to get out of a ball either, but -

Ichigo: You don’t have to bring that up every three seconds!!

5. Cang Du: Is stoic about closet-living

Ichigo: Sorry my closet is kinda small for a tall guy. You okay?

Cang Du: I am fine.

Ichigo: Sorry that the only pajamas I had are the ones Chad left which have baby bunnies on them.

Cang Du: It is fine.

Ichigo: Sorry that Kon is currently clinging to your head for some reason.

Cang Du: It is fine.

Ichigo: …

Ichigo: So if my clothes get wrinkly can I have you iron them, or…?

Cang Du: You cannot get a rise out of me that easily.

Ichigo: Man, you’re good!

6. Bazz-B: Tries too hard

Bazz-B: Cool shirt, man!

Bazz-B: This shirt is cool too!

Bazz-B: This shirt is Abarai’s eyebrows level of cool!

Ichigo: …why are you looking at all of my shirts and complimenting them?

Bazz-B: Abarai told me you only fight your friends. So I’m becoming your friend.

Ichigo: The fighting comes before the friendship. Not after.

Bazz-B: Oh.

Bazz-B: In that case…

Ichigo: NO

7. Liltotto: Won’t stop eating

Ichigo: Hey, where’s my favorite shirt? The one that’s too small and shows my belly but it’s okay because I wear another shirt under it?

Liltotto: I ate it.

Liltotto: And all of your ugly clothes.

Liltotto: You’re welcome.

Ichigo: W-what??

Liltotto: Your taste in clothes is worse than Bambi’s taste in men, to be honest.

Ichigo: IF YOU WANTED A SNACK YOU COULD HAVE ASKED

8. Bambietta: Keeps inviting Ichigo in

Bambietta: I can’t sleep in this stupid ugly closet, Kurosaki!

Bambietta: Wanna…join me? 

Ichigo: No thanks.

Kon: I’LL JOIN YOU!!!!!!

Ichigo: KON NO

9. Candice: Doesn’t seem to like the closet

Candice: Sleeping in your STUPID CLOSET has RUINED MY HAIR!

Candice: NOW YOU DIE!!!!!!!!

Ichigo: Candice it’s five in the morning can we please do this later?

Candice: NO

10. Askin: Installs a cappuccino maker 

Ichigo: [opens closet]

Askin: Fresh coffee?

Ichigo: [closes closet]

11. Ishida: Tries to be helpful

Ishida: Look, Kurosaki! I added capes to ALL of your shirts!

Ishida: Now everybody will know about your Quincy heritage!

Ichigo: …

Ichigo: …

Ichigo: You also appear to have bleached them all white.

Ishida: Yeah, it’s shocking how much color you had in your clothes!

Ishida: Quincy wear WHITE clothes!

Ichigo: IS THIS WHY I SMELLED BLEACH ALL NIGHT???

12. As Nodt: Treats it like a sleepover

As Nodt: So……….what would you say is your deepest and darkest fear?

As Nodt: Mine is death.

As Nodt: Death is scary.

As Nodt: But you feel more like a “lives while all his friends die” sort of guy.

As Nodt: Spot on or nah?

Ichigo: …I am so done letting people stay here.

Isshin reacting to all of the insanity during TYBW would be the funniest shit.

Shit Isshin might say (if he saw zombie Hitsugaya and zombie Matsumoto)

As requested by anon. :)

Hitsugaya and Matsumoto were recently turned into zombies, because that is a thing that happens in Bleach now. But what if their old captain, Isshin, finally returned to Soul Society and saw them as zombies? What sorts of things might he say?

1. “T-Toshiro! Why are you wearing a Quincy uniform??”

2. “I know my absence probably left you with abandonment issues, but Yhwach is not your new dad!”

3. “I know his facial hair is magnificent, but even so!”

4. “Rangiku has abandonment issues too, and you don’t see HER joining the Quincy!”

5. “I mean, you haven’t joined the Quincy, have you, Rangiku?”

6. “…….or don’t answer me. That’s okay. It’s cool. I know you’re probably mad.”

7. “Just - how could you join the Quincy, Toshiro????”

8. “Not that I hate the Quincy. My wife was a Quincy. But there’s Quincy, and then there’s Quincy, if you know what I mean.”

9. “Also, why are you so…….gray?”

10. “For that matter, why is Matsumoto so gray?”

11. “And why are you both staring at me with blank lifeless eyes?”

12. “Also, why haven’t either of you reacted at all to my sudden appearance, even though you must have been wondering for like twenty years where I was and what happened to me?”

13. “Also why aren’t you blinking?”

14. “Wait a second………….are you guys zombies?”

15. “Oh my fucking god you guys are ZOMBIES!”

16. “I leave for twenty years, and you BOTH get turned into ZOMBIES?!?”

17. “Toshiro, you’re supposed to be smarter than that! Rangiku, you’re supposed to be WAY more sensible than that!”

18. “Love the new hair though, guys. Seriously. Great look for both of you.”

19. “So, uh, I guess this means no big reunion, huh?”

20. “I was gonna say how proud I was of both of you, and how sorry I was for the way I left, and I was going to blow both of your minds with the news that I’m Ichigo’s dad! That’s right - I raised the kid who keeps saving the universe!”

21. “But now it just seems so….pointless. Can you guys even hear me?”

22. “Grunt if you can hear me.”

23. “Grunt if you can’t hear me?”

24. “Man. I can’t tell if you guys aren’t talking ‘cause you’re just that mad, or if it’s the zombie thing.”

25. “I guess I shoulda talked to you guys in the world of the living, huh?”

26. “Back before you were zombies.”

27. “That would have meant Ichigo finding some things out earlier, but then, maybe that would have helped him.”

28. “I’m just…….I’m really sorry.”

29. “…”

30. “I really gotta stop waiting so long to talk to people!”
