In another universe
So in another universe, Renji was the one to give Orihime soul reaper powers, making her the substitute soul reaper. And Rukia and Byakuya was the ones sent to bring Renji back to the Soul Society. And so on...
And in that universe, people are arguing over which ship should canon, Ichihime or Renhime.

There are a lot of things that require a suspension of disbelief when it comes to TV in general, but I think that Ichigo and his friends being high school students is pretty high up there with things that are impossible to believe.

All my friends are dead.
It would be hilariously ironic if Kakashi the friend killer somehow runs into a Bleach Shinigami and then earns himself a shinigami badge to help send ninja souls to the afterlife.
(Kakashi's shinigami skills are what actually gives him an extra edge when he's busy on solo ANBU missions. And then when he's supposedly still "busy" with his ANBU missions, he does his grim reaper job.
So efficient!
But also Gin and Kakashi might just be BFF now for finding new ways in ticking people off.)

BIRTHDAY WEEB MERCH FROM FRIEND VERY EXCITE
1 note · View note
Text
What made both her sacrifice for her team mates’ happiness in Pocket Monsters (2019)/Pokemon Journeys episode 95 and the fact that she thought this would be her end more poignant for me is that being completely alone is what Musashi hates the most. She lost her (single) mother as a child and was never adopted, going from foster home to foster home... ;_;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After many failures (like being unable to graduate from a school meant to train literal Pokemon Nurses, because she couldn’t do what Chansey do, despite studying hard and being adept at skills like bandaging…) and having her heart broken and being disappointed (she let a boy she loved go alone so she can pursue idol dreams with some friends, who all made it… without her, so she lost a possible love for an impossible dream)…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She couldn’t bond with her partners and left them to be injured, just to save herself, during her training days at Team Rocket. She’d become selfish and self-preserving… in the Japanese version, the others called her “shinigami Musashi” according to Yamato (Cassidy), likening her to a reaper of souls… but James refused to run away, sick of living a life where he ran away from all his problems. He’d sacrifice himself for her and Meowth’s safety, getting badly injured and nearly missing their final exam, hospitalized. The first time they uttered the beginning of their motto was when she believed she was all alone again, much like in this scene… the Rockets in the Japanese version repeat the last thing someone else says as if to answer a question (the “nanda kanda to kikare tara” = “if you ask us about this or that” is mostly filler that could be substituted with anything else.)
Musashi (Jessie): (dejectedly, as she walks away alone as the final exam begins, even being questioned by Nyasu/Meowth where she’s going): Is this all that there is…?
Kojiro (James): (answering while leaning posed against a tree, covered in bandages, but they were only wrapped over his clothes so he could whip them off dramatically) If you ask us 'if this is all that there is,' our answer will be the universe’s compassion!
She’s so moved, she turns away to wipe her tears. “A team mate who won’t run away…”
I think that’s the first time they ever see her cry.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jessie desperately wants family, belonging, that’s why she falls in love so quickly, she wants a family more than anything—James had everything material growing up, but not love… Musashi had near to nothing material growing up, BUT she had her mother’s love… until she lost her very, very early. They contrast each other! They’re soul mates, eternal partners, whether you ship them or not. Meowth, too, was orphaned as a kitten, never even named, and an outcast his whole life. He's also always falling in love easily, seeking a home... the trio should never be separated, they are each other’s sought-for home.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think the falling snow in this scene, where she runs off in tears, after wearing a brave smile and telling James it’s okay to stay with Cassidy, is a very deliberate choice, as Jessie loves snow. One of her few happy memories of her depressing childhood is being made treats made of snow to eat. She unknowingly lost her mother in the snowy Andes mountains, seeking Mew, put into foster care, while Miyamoto tried to make money to give her a better life... glittering snow and sparkling tears…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
For Meowth too, she lets him go. She just wants everyone to have their chance at love.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, her believing she’ll end up dying alone, as she’s always feared, Musashi here laments her luck, but also has a beautiful little dream of her friends saving her.
Once again, similarly to the break-up episode of DP, she was the one who calmly and gently encouraged James to pursue a possible love. She also broke Dustox’s pokeball, in tears, not wanting her to make the same mistake she did, giving up on an attainable love for an unattainable goal (and, indeed, Jessie did not win the Grand Festival, despite her skill at Pokemon Contests… she made the right decision for Dustox’s happiness.)
Jessie loves her friends. Sure, she’s caustic, rude, temperamental, bitter, and self-absorbed, but she prioritizes love and their happiness. She doesn’t want them to be alone and abandoned the way she felt as a kid. She loves them so much so, she’s satisfied to die alone and suffer her worst fear if it meant they get to be happy. That’s self-sacrifice.
She doesn’t resent them one bit, saying it’s a nice dream when she thinks she’s imagined them saving her life… she thought it was her mind comforting her before her death, accepting her fate, rather than realizing it’s effectively a premonition of what will be reality… and when she realizes?! She initially reproaches them, looking mad, because she thought they abandoned their happiness for her! But no, things didn’t work out… this is where they’re meant to be: by each other’s side.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
James also knows how much marriage means to her, even though he’s so traumatized by it, the word “fiance” triggers literal flashbacks for him and he climbed up a tree to get away from a teenaged girl who called him that. Yet, in XY episode 63, where she fell for Dr. White...
Kojiro: (with head down, eyes shadowed) If Musashi (Jessie) wants to pursue her happiness as a woman, shouldn't we give her our blessing?
Nyasu also had his misfortunes in love... they sympathize and empathize.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Let's show her we're men and leave without saying anything..."
As Kojiro runs away, he sheds tears, wishing her happiness and bidding her farewell, silently. The scenes in these two episodes are clear parallels.
Tumblr media
But in the end (including the final episodes, as rushed as that plotline was although I still loved Wobbuffet acting exactly like a troubled child of parents going through a messy divorce), they’ll always realize their happiness is by each other’s side as a trio.
Tumblr media
"Sometimes you get good pulls, sometimes you get bad ones. Sometimes they're good, even if you think they're bad. Sometimes they're bad, even if you think they're good."

Hi! I hope you’re doing alright! :) I wanted to request the prompt, “Gentle wipe of your spilled tears after heavy arguments, a simple gesture that shows you how sorry they are for making you shed sad tears instead of happy ones.” with bleach men? Or something close to it! I really just want some heart breaking angst and a happy ending. Thank you in advance, I love your blog!!
ahhh yesss! I love this prompt! <3 <3 I can include the quinces and arrancars in my next post, if you would like!
Tumblr media
Ichigo Kurosaki: You rush inside Ichigo's room and slam the door open. Ichigo turns around and you throw your arms around the man.
"What's wrong?" Ichigo asks, running his fingers through your hair as you squeeze him tightly.
"I thought you were hurt," you breath out, pulling away from his embrace. Ichigo's eyebrows furrows and he shakes his head.
"I can take care of myself, you know? I am a substitute soul reaper," Ichigo reassures you with a confident tone.
"I know," you chew on your quivering bottom lip. Your eyes rake over his bruised face, dry blood on his lips. His body shaking slightly and the pain written all over his face.
His breath shudders seeing the hot tears spill down your face. Ichigo stifles a tiny gasp and his heart breaks into a million pieces.
"Y/N," he calls out gently, taking a stride towards you and reaching out. His hand cups the back of your head and he lets out a heavy sigh.
Ichigo brushes his thumb over your face, picking up your tears.
"I just wish I was there to help you. Maybe you wouldn't have gotten hurt if I was there," you sob out, your chest crushing. Ichigo smiles warmly at you and his eyes soften.
"You were there," he speaks carefully, grabbing your hand and putting it on his chest. His heart thumps against your hand and you smile weakly.
Uryu Ishida: Your breath shudders as you walk up to Uryu, standing alone in the soul society, watching as the war between the soul reapers and quincies break out.
His white cape flows in the wind and you gulp.
"Uryu, what are you doing?" you call out, furrowing your eyebrows. When Ichigo had told you that your boyfriend was on the other side of the war, you couldn't believe it.
"What are you doing here?" Uryu asks, his eyes widening at the sight of you as he faces you.
"No, you don't get to question me, not right now! What the hell are you doing?" you raise your voice, speaking through gritted teeth.
Uryu stands there, staring at you in shock. He never expected you to come into the soul society or even find out about this.
"I'm a Quincy. This is my blood," Uryu replies dryly and you scoff quietly.
"You're betraying everyone you know! Are you sure this is the path you want to go down?" you ask, stepping forward.
Uryu reaches out with his hand and he touches your soft skin. His hand cups your cheek and tilts up your face, eyes meeting his.
"Hey..." Uryu calls out and you meet his eyes. The tears race down your face and a frown rests on your face.
"You're breaking my heart," you comment, your voice breaking. Uryu lowers his head with shame and lets out a heavy sigh.
"I know and I'm so sorry, y/n. You'll see why I chose this, soon. I promise, but you need to go back home," Uryu sighs out, wiping away your tears.
"Just...don't break your promise," you demand, stepping back from his embrace.
Renji Abarai: "What the hell was that?!" Renji's voice booms out as he marches over towards you. You wipe the sweat off your forehead and squeeze your sword in your hand.
"What? Me saving your ass?" you scoff quietly, glancing down at the dead hollow on the ground. Renji rolls his eyes with annoyance and scowls.
"I didn't need you to save me!" Renji raises his voice and your taken back by his tone. You take a step back and let out a tiny breath, pondering.
You didn't understand why Renji was being so cold and mean. You just wanted to help your significant other.
"I don't get it, Renji. I was just helping you," you shake your head in denial. Renji's eyes darken and he stomps over to you, towering over you.
"Yeah? Well, I don't need you.”
His words strike you like a knife to the heart and your eyes widen.
"I'm so confused. Don't you appreciate my help? I was just trying to help you!" you raise your voice, your mind rattled with pure confusion.
"You don't get it, y/n! I was trying to prove myself to Captain Kuchiki. I was sent on a mission and I wanted to prove myself. You ruin everything!" Renji shouts out with pure rage.
Your mouth gapes open and your body freezes with shock. You snap your jaw shut and nod your head, tears filling your eyes.
"Okay. I get it," you retort harshly, clenching your jaw.
You went home after that, spent a few hours crying in your shared bed. You were filled with rage, but mostly sadness. How could Renji say something like that?
Your eardrums fill with the sound of the front doors swinging open and your heart skips a beat. Renji's footsteps come closer and closer to your bedroom.
You don't even bother to lift up your head when he enters the room. Renji frowns widely at the sight of you and he lets out a heavy sigh.
He knows what he did was wrong, very wrong. Renji sinks down into the bed and places his hand over your back.
"Baby, I'm sorry," Renji coos out with a soft, comforting voice.
"No, you're not," your voice comes out as muffled.
"I am," he replies.
"I get it, Renji. I get that you were sent on a mission and you wanted to prove yourself to your captain. You didn't have to yell at me," you huff out, lifting up your head.
Renji's eyes widen at your swollen, red face. You glare at him and Renji frowns widely.
"I didn't mean to yell at you. I was mad and I took my anger out on you. I shouldn't have,"
"Yeah, you shouldn't have," you sniffle out and Renji cracks a grin.
"What? Why are you smiling?" you ask, chewing on your bottom lip. Renji places a hand on your jaw, thumb brushing over your cheek, wiping away a tear.
"I'm sorry, but you're so pretty," Renji beams and your eyes widen. You were certain you weren't pretty in this moment. Tears running down your swollen face.
"Whatever," you sigh out, pouting.
"I'm sorry, my pretty girl," Renji speaks softly and you roll your eyes, but you can't help, but crack a tiny smile.
Shinji Hirako: Heated arguments were you and Shinji's thing for sure, but this was too much.
You decided to hide yourself in the bathroom, which was probably not the best place to hide from your boyfriend.
"Y/N, let me in," Shinji sighs in defeat from the outside, leaning his head against the door. You're curled up into a ball, arms wrapped around your knees that are tucked into your chest.
"No," you state firmly, your quivering voice giving yourself away.
"Damn it. Let me in!" Shinji raises his voice, running his hands over his face in frustration.
"Why should I?" you ask, clenching your fists.
"Because...I hate that I hurt you. I hate that I'm stupid and decided to hurt the person that I love the most. I hate that you're in here all alone, crying and I can't comfort you. I know that I don't deserve to, but please, y/n, let me in," Shinji explains with a raspy voice.
His words send a chill down your spine and you gulp. You sit in silence for a moment, before deciding to stand up and unlock the door.
Shinji swings open the door and his heart stops beating for a moment. Your red puffy face along with your tear stained cheeks is enough for even Shinji's heart to break.
He throws his arms around you and holds you tightly.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," he whispers repeatedly, peppering kisses all along your face.
It felt so good to be in his arms, in his comfort.
"Shinji, I know," you mumble out in his chest. Shinji's body fills with relief. You didn't need to forgive him, he just needed you to know how sorry he is.
Jushiro Ukitake: I find it very hard to believe that this man made you cry. Anyways...
Emotions were running high as you and Jushiro argued back and forth. Both of your roaring voices fill the room and you end up with tears streaming down your face.
Jushiro wastes no time in rushing up to you as he feels horrible for making you cry. You bite down on your quivering lip and Jushiro gingerly places his hand on your cheek.
"I'm sorry," you hiccup out between sobs and Jushiro's eyes widen.
"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault," Jushiro furrows his eyebrows with confusion and you shake your head.
"But it is, I started the argument. Now, I'm the one crying just because of what you said," you stutter out, your body slightly trembling.
Jushiro shakes his head. He cam't believe what he's hearing right now.
"No, don't you dare be sorry. What I said was not okay and I'm sorry that I said that," Jushiro speaks gently and you sniffle, wiping your wet face.
"I feel like such a baby," you sigh out, lowering your head in defeat.
"I never want to make you cry, y/n. Please, forgive me, sweetheart," Jushiro begs you, tears in his eyes. He leans his head down and presses his warm lips to your forehead.
You clutch onto his forearms and relish in the moment.
"I will always forgive you, Jushiro," you whisper, smiling up at him.
Shunsui Kyoraku: Your body trembles as your sob tears through your body, unable to muffle your sounds of sadness. You clench your fists and Shunsui's stomach twists into uneasy knots at the sound of your crying.
He glances at you over his shoulder and his mouth gapes open. You glare at him with tears burning your eyes and he leaps towards you.
Shunsui grabs onto your shoulders and your body jolts.
"No. Get away from me," you demand, pressing your hands into his chest and shoving him back. Shunsui's eyes widen and he lowers his head with shame.
He had hurt you and he dreaded it.
You turn around, burying your face in the palm of your hands. Your face burns and Shunsui clears his throat, collecting himself and his emotions.
"Shunsui," you call out as he wraps his arms around your waist from behind.
"I'm sorry. I am so sorry," he whispers with a hoarse voice, dipping his head down into the curve of your neck.
"I'm sure you are," you retort harshly, feeling your walls start to break down. You lower your gaze to the ground and Shunsui lets out a heavy sigh.
"Y/N, let me comfort you. Let me take away the pain and hurt that I caused you. Please," Shunsui pleads with you in a ginger, soft voice.
You slowly turn around, facing him and you chew on your lip, pondering. You meet Shunsui's soft, loving gaze and you frown widely.
You step forward and throw your arms around his torso, burying yourself into his chest. Shunsui rests his chin on top of your head and grips you tightly.
Kenpachi Zaraki: You were silent. Deadly. Deadly silent. So, deadly silent as a tear runs down your cheek.
He easily catches your wrist and pulls you closer to him. Kenpachi towers over you and you gulp. Kenny wears a blank expression on his face, but his eyes are soften, so is his touch.
"Were my words too harsh, y/n?" Kenpachi asks with a deep, rough voice. Your lips tremble as you slowly glance up at him, trying to hold yourself together.
"Um, I guess. I don't like when we yell at each other like that, especially when we we're arguing over something so...so stupid," you explain yourself, your voice trembling.
Kenpachi steps closer to you as the tears stream down your cheeks. He leans down towards you and slowly raises his hand. You close your eyes at his soft touch, wiping away your tears.
"I am sorry for raising my voice," Kenpachi speaks truthfully and you nod your head.
"I'm also sorry, Kenny," you sigh out with shame, grabbing onto his large hand and squeezing it. You both share a kind smile, knowing that you will always forgive each other.
Byakuya Kuchiki: Although, he hides his emotions well, he could not help the frown tugging on his face. A single tear drags down your face and drips off of your chin onto the ground.
Byakuya's eyes watch as the tear falls onto the ground and his eyes widen. His heart pulse beats in his ears, blocking out all other sound.
His words were too harsh, cruel, and unruly for him.
Byakuya's muscles tense, but he dare not make a move towards you.
"I take it back. I take all this words that I said back," he speaks up and you slowly lift up your head, meeting his steady, unwavering gaze.
"You can't take them, Byakuya. That's not how this works," you mumble out and his mouth slightly gapes open. His mouth runs dry and he nods his head.
"I know. If I could, I would turn those words into blossom for you, my love. I don't know what I would do without you. My words were hurtful, even I, myself, was taken aback by them. I cannot express how sorry I am," Byakuya speaks gingerly, crouching down onto his knees.
You furrow your eyebrows as Byakuya tenderly grabs onto your hands, pressing them against his forehead. Your stomach twists into uneasy knots as you realize what he's doing.
Byakuya has never really bowed down to anyone in his life, but here he is. Right in front of you, on his knees for you.
"Please, forgive me," he begs you, a trembling voice. His thumbs brush over your hands and you let out a deep sigh. You bring yourself down to your knees and Byakuya slowly lifts his head up.
"You need not bow down to me, Byakuya. We are on the same level as equals, right? That's what you said to me when we first met," you explain, cupping his cheek.
"Yes, I remember," he bobs his head.
"Good. Then, I forgive you as long as can forgive me," you speak gingerly and his eyes widen.
"Of course," he speaks eagerly as you pull his face closer to yours. You smile warmly and press a soft kiss to his lips.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi: The shower starts running in your bedroom and you furrow your eyebrows. You leap up from your bed and rush into the bathroom.
The steam fills the room and you lean against the wall. You grab the shower curtain and slowly peel it back. Mayuri stands in the hot water, letting it drip down his body and soak his hair.
"I didn't know you were home," you comment, a slight smile on your face.
"I'm tired," Mayuri shrugs his shoulders, running his fingers through his electric blue hair.
"I'm tired of the nights when you aren't beside in bed. I miss you," you sigh out, a frown tugging on his face.
"You know how it is. The experiments take a very long time and it has to be precise," he rambles on and you nod your head.
"Yes, I'm aware," you reply dryly.
"I can't spend every waking moment with you! You can't be attached to my hip," Mayuri raises his voice and your jaw drops open.
"I get it," you sigh out.
"Do you really? Because it seems like you don't. You're my girlfriend, not my goddamn dog!" Mayuri shouts out and your lips tremble.
"I feel like an object to you, Mayuri. Like one of your experiments," you sigh out and Mayuri rips open the shower curtain. He glares at you with anger and his fingers wrap around your jaw, tightly.
The tears escape from your eyes and Mayuri shakes his head, inhaling sharply with anger.
"You're wrong. My experiments are nothing like you. They are not fragile, delicate, and full of love. I do not love my experiments the way I love you, y/n. Do you understand me?" he speaks harshly and you nod your head.
"Y-yeah," your voice stutters our, your expression dropping. Mayuri's eyes soften and he pulls you closer.
"Hey, come here," Mayuri beckons with a soft, raspy voice. He wraps his arms around you and your head rests on his shoulder.
"I've missed you, too. More than you know," Mayuri comforts you, rubbing circles on your back.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya: "What?" you mumble out, furrowing your eyebrows at your boyfriend.
"You heard me," Toshiro snaps at you and your breath shudders. Your stomach twists into uneasy knots as Toshiro starts to turn his back on you.
"You cannot be serious. You can't actually agree with that," you shake your head in disbelief.
"I do!" he turns back, facing you. His nostrils flare with anger and smoke practically hisses out his ears.
"This is someone's life we are talking about. It's a serious matter," you speak harshly, clenching your fists.
"I know that and I stand by my decision," Toshiro scoffs out, shaking his head. You chew on your bottom lip, tears welling up in your eyes.
"God, you are ice cold!" you raise your voice, echoing in the room. He scoffs quietly and rolls his eyes with annoyance.
"Whatever," he replies dryly. You clench your fists, your bottom lip start to bleed from how hard you're biting it. The hot tears sting your cheeks and Toshiro's gasps quietly.
"Stop. Stop it right now," Toshiro demands, marching up to you and grabbing onto your face.
"Stop, Toshiro!" you cry out, pressing your hands to his chest and pushing him away. He stumbles back slightly and he inhales sharply.
"I can't handle it when you cry, y/n. So, please, stop," he begs you with despair straining his voice. You glance over at him through your eyelashes and sniffle, wiping away at your wet face.
He steps forward and grabs onto your hand, interlacing your fingers. He pulls you closer to him and his free hand cups your jaw, thumb brushing over it.
"I'm so sorry," he mumbles out, pressing a soft kiss to your lips.
Kensei Muguruma: "So, you think I'm weak?" you scoff out, shaking your head with disbelief. Kensei glares over at you from his stance a few feet away from the bed that you're sitting on.
"I just can't believe that you got put away with such a move from your opponent. You weren't strong enough, y/n," Kensei comments with a careless tone.
"Are you serious? Is that actually how you feel about me?" you ask, your mouth gaping open.
You couldn't believe the words that were coming out of your boyfriend's mouth. They were hurtful and harsh.
"You know exactly how I feel," he retorts harshly and you chew on your bottom lip.
"You're right, I do now," you gulp, standing up from the bed. You rush over to the door and grab onto the handle.
"Where are you going?" Kensei sighs out, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I don't know, just away from you. You obviously don't want to associate yourself with your weak girlfriend, right?" your voice wobbles as you glance over your shoulder at him, tears filled up to the brim of your eyes.
Kensei's expression slightly softens and he clears his throat. "That's not what I meant," he speaks with a careful tone and you roll your eyes with annoyance.
"No, it is and that's fine. I want you to be honest with me and you were. I'm not good enough for you, Kensei. You've made that clear," you demand and Kensei's eyes soften.
"What?" he scoffs out, shifting his weight. You blink and the tears start to roll down your cheeks. You sniffle and quickly wipe them away, but the tears keep coming.
Kensei rushes up to your side and grabs onto your shoulders, steadying you in front of him.
"No, y/n, that's not what I meant. I'm scared. I'm scared of losing you. I don't think you're weak, y/n. I think you are a very strong soul reaper, but I cannot lose you," Kensei explains with a soft voice and your eyes widen.
"Why didn't you just say that?" you sniffle out, your body rattling.
"You know me. I'm not good with expressing my feelings and emotions. I don't like to be vulnerable, but I try to be because of you."
You step forward and cup Kensei's cheeks. The hues of cheeks turn a bright pink and he gulps.
"I understand it now, Kensei. All you had to do was explain," you comment, smiling warmly.
"You make me a better person, y/n. Thank you," Kensei whispers, wrapping his arms around your waist and burying his head into the crook of your head.
Rojuro Otoribashi: Rojuro is always very careful with his words, but not this time. His words were mean and harsh. His eyes lock onto the tears dripping down your face and his eyes widen.
A frown tugs on his face and he walks over to you. His large hands cup your face and you sniffle, your body jolting.
"Y/N, are you okay? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that," Rojuro shakes his head, thumb brushing your skin gently. You glance up at him, vision blurred because of the tears.
His thumb starts to brush away your wet tears and his eyes become soft. His blonde hair falls down into his face and your lips tremble.
"No, it's okay. I shouldn't be such a baby," you shake your head, trying to tug away from him, but his grip is too strong.
"Hey, no, it's okay. You're not a baby. I am so sorry for my choice of words and not being gentle with you. I promise to be more gentle with you," he speaks gingerly, fingers carefully pressing into your cheeks.
You gulp and nod your head as he leans his forehead against yours, smiling warmly.
Kisuke Urahara: After a big argument, Kisuke left the shop to be by himself for awhile. He enters the shop again and his eardrums fill with quiet sobbing.
His eyes widen and his breath hitches in his throat. He makes his way to the back of the shop where your room is. You're sitting on the ground, back pressed up against the wall and knees brought up to your chest.
He rushes over to your side and kneels down, arms wrapping around you and bringing you to his chest.
"Where did you go?" you mumble out between hiccups and sobs. A frown tugs on Kisuke's face and he clenches his jaw.
He's mad at himself. He shouldn't have left you after the argument, it was a horrible idea.
"I shouldn't have left the store. I just needed space, but I wasn't thinking about what you needed. I won't ever leave again, I promise," he reassures you, fingers brushing through your hair.
Izuru Kira: Your fists are clenched as your throat tightens up, tears welling up to the brims of your eyelids. Izuru lets out a heavy sigh, running his hands over his face with frustration.
He lifts his head up and his eyes lock onto you from across the room. You chew on your bottom lip, blood starting to spill out as you try not to cry.
"Whoa, hey, hey," he calls out, fear flooding his body as he rushes over to you. He grabs onto your shoulders and carefully pulls you closer to him.
He pulls you into your chest and you wrap your arms around his lower torso, tears staining his soul reaper uniform. His hand runs over your hair, brushing it down.
"There's no need to cry, y/n. I like you better when you're smiling and laughing," he comments and you let out a tiny chuckle.
"Me too," you mumble out, squeezing him.
Ikkaku Madarame: A gut wrenching sob leave your lips and Ikkaku gasps quietly. He leaps over to you and his arms wrap around your waist.
The two of you stumble around, falling back onto the bed.
"Oh, god. I'm sorry," his voice is filled with panic and worry. You gaze into his soft eyes and you let out a loud giggle, filling the room.
Ikkaku furrows his eyebrows and he stares at you in confusion. You bring up your hands and cup his cheeks, throwing your legs over his.
"I'm sorry for laughing. I just didn't expect to fall on the bed," you shrug your shoulders as his hands gently wipe away your wet tears.
"I love the sound of your laughter," he nuzzles his head into your chest, arms securely wrapping around your waist and squeezing you tightly.
The both of you forgot what you were even arguing about as you laugh and chat about the accidental fall.
Shuhei Hisagi: His blood runs cold as the tears drip down off your jawline and onto the ground.
"Y/N?" Shuhei calls out and your bottom lips quivers. You slowly shift your eyes up and meet his. Your cheeks flush with embarrassment and you gulp.
"I'm sorry," you mumble out, turning around and burying your face into the palms of your hands. He slowly walks over to you and wraps his arms around your waist from behind.
He rests his chin on your shoulder and presses a kiss to your earlobe.
"Don't ever be sorry. I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have said those things, I'm sorry," he speaks tenderly as you lean back into his body.
You glance down at his hands, resting on your stomach and you place yours on his, letting out a shaky breath.
"I'm sorry, too. It was stupid to argue over something like that," you shake your head and Shuhei nods his head.
"I hate arguing with you," he admits and a smile tugs on your face. You turn around and wrap your arms around his neck, bringing your lips to his.
"Then let's stop arguing," you smile, kissing him softly.

Why Ichigo And Rukia Ended Up With The Right People
In Bleach, Ichigo ends up with Orihime, Rukia is with Renji. Since it's part of the shonen genre, it doesn't center around romance and would be unlikely to focus on romantic relationships, as there were other interesting and exciting things happening.
The Problem With Ichigo X Rukia
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even though he becomes a Shinigami, he isn't technically a soul. He was not born in Soul Society and never died to go there. If he wanted to be with Rukia, he would either have to wait and die from old age or die right away and part with everyone else way too soon. Rukia is a soul who ages extremely slowly and will probably never die. Their families are in different worlds, so their priorities are incompatible.
This might be the single biggest factor in Orihime's favor against Rukia: she won't outlive Ichigo by hundreds of years. After all, Ichigo is a substitute Soul Reaper, but not a full-fledged one. It was only ever touched on vaguely because the shinigami are all spirits/souls, and things like time and age aren't something that hold much meaning to them anymore. Roughly in the beginnings of the series, Rukia mentions that she's 10 times older than Ichigo (who was 15 at the time).
Ichigo also looks like Kaien Shiba, Rukia’s mentor and the man that she admired. Due to this, even Byakuya himself understood why Rukia would feel a connection for Ichigo. Rukia realized the parallels between Kaien’s last fight with Ichigo’s battle against Grand Fisher, the Hollow that had killed Masaki Kurosaki. As such, she views them as similar and so would be unlikely to have romantic feelings for someone resembling her late mentor. In fact, she keeps comparing Kaien and Ichigo throughout the Soul Society arc.
Rukia and Renji
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rukia and Renji grew up together as orphaned Soul children in Soul Society. They shared the same experiences, jointly discovering the gift of Reiatsu that earned them a place in the Shin’o Academy. Their mutual goal was to become Shinigami, gain higher ranks, and grow stronger. When Rukia tells Renji the Kuchiki clan wants to adopt her, he acts happy but is deeply upset because he predicts they will grow apart. Still, he tries to hide his sadness because Rukia finally has a family. Unfortunately, Renji falsely believes that he's not important to her anymore.
While this saddened Rukia, he only reacted in the way he believed was best for her, and that ended up making him feel guilty about her potential execution. Chapter 98 was devoted to how Renji considered Rukia an unattainable “star” that he, a “tramp,” could never reach. If he just wanted friendship, why did he feel he had to stay out of Rukia’s way? If she just wanted friendship, why did she expect him to protest? The answer is simple: Her adoption didn’t get in the way of friendship, but in the way of the “something more” that they wanted.
Tumblr media
Renji's feelings towards her have always been apparent, as far back as when they were kids. As they originally met around several years ago in the Soul Society, they've been around each other for quite a while. One evening, the two of them were unsuccessfully attempting to catch fish when Renji finally managed to snare one. When he turned around, he saw the rest of his friends staring at Rukia longingly. As anyone with a crush themselves would do, Renji admonished his friends for looking at her with love-struck eyes.
Renji's feelings for Rukia are crystal clear, even when he doesn't acknowledge them. On the other hand, Rukia finds it difficult to express her emotions, especially after joining the Kuchiki clan and her stranied relationship with her brother Byakuya. However, there are several instances that prove her love for Renji beyond the shadow of a doubt. In fact, Rukia obviously cares for Renji even after he attacks Ichigo in the Agent of the Shinigami arc. Although Ichigo and Rukia also love each other, their friendship is considerably less intense than her lifelong attachment for Renji.
Ichigo and Orihime
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Orihime’s crush on Ichigo was evident from the first few chapters. She even had trouble being articulate in front of him, although part of her character development was how she gained confidence in herself. As for him, he was ready to sacrifice his life for her from the very beginning, when he put himself between her and her brother Sora (who became a Hollow). He almost always singles her out, speaks up for her and he even defends her.
When the Espadas allow Orihime to say goodbye to one person before she is taken to Hueco Mundo, she picks Ichigo even though he's still unconscious from an earlier fight. She explains how she could have picked one of the others, but Ichigo was the person she needed to see one last time. Orihime says how there were so many things she wished she had gotten to do and how she would like to live five times to try multiple different things, but that she'd always fall in love with the same person... Ichigo.
Ichigo literally came back from death for Orihime during his fight with Ulquiorra, all because she pleaded him not to die. Orihime also places her body between Ichigo and Acidwire to protect Ichigo. Ichigo puts himself between Grimmjow’s Ceros and Orihime without hesitation. Orihime more than willingly goes to fight Yhwach alongside Ichigo, serving as the latter's defense. Even Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, and Nnoitora all mocked him for wanting to protect her and underlined how she was the motivation for him to fight more fiercely.
In the early chapters, Orihime knew that Kon wasn't the real Ichigo when he was running wild inside Ichigo's body and being his perverted self. He jumped into Ichigo's classroom, made a move on Orihime, and then kissed Tatsuki before being forced to flee. Orihime knew right away that wasn't the real Ichigo, forgiving him of actions that would have got him in hot water with any other girl. It's a testament to how much Orihime cared about him. That said, Ichigo would have never acted that way in the first place.
Ichigo & Rukia Contributed To Each Other’s Relationships
It's kinda interesting to note that both Rukia and Ichigo have worked to boost each other's relationships. Remember, Rukia was the one who dragged Ichigo to apologize to an injured Orihime. Rukia was the initial reason why Ichigo and Orihime came closer together and were more expressive of their desire to protect each other. At the same time, Ichigo was the catalyst for Rukia and Renji to become close again after decades of avoiding each other. Ichigo was not meant to interfere in their relationship as a third party, but to help them realize the complete range of their feelings for each other.

The melody of death
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sumire and Tsukasa sang the song for Nene, Sumire sang it before she was taken (because Aoi went in her place), and Tsukasa afterwards.
The way she was taken, surrounded by a black shadow and several insects, happened both times.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, the tradition
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In short, the reaper will choose someone to steal his soul, and to prevent this from happening, people gather together while singing and weaving baskets to protect the person who heard the reaper's flute.
Nene wasn't asleep, but her soul was unprotected.
She was really attracted to music without even realizing it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now an interesting association, they say "we will weave the God of yorishiro"
Real meaning of yorishiro:
Yorishiro is an object capable of attracting spirits called kami (God), thus giving them a physical space to occupy during religious ceremonies. Yorishiros are used during ceremonies to call kami to participate in worship. The word itself literally means “substitute approach”. Since a yorishiro actually hosts a kami.
In other words, they create a yorishiro to attract a God, this God will help them to protect the soul of the person the reaper wants to take, while they stay next to that person throughout the night.
So basically, before, the old village was forced to hand over young girls as sacrifices to prevent the supernaturals from spreading and devouring people. Later, they discovered how to avoid this through the use of yorishiros, and even then, it was necessary to protect the person who was chosen by the reaper.
Currently, the school is protected by seven yorishiros, when almost all of them were removed, the supernaturals began to invade the school, attracting the reaper (the number six) to take someone's soul.
In other words, the yorishiros also serve as a form of protection against this soul-devouring reaper, knowing the real meaning of the word "yorishiro" means that each of the school's yorishiros has a fragment of a God in them, where it can host the God himself. Remembering that in real life yorishiros can be objects and animals too.
It is a sign that there is possibly more than one God. One is used to protect the school (maintain the balance between humans and supernaturals), the other wants to free himself from imprisonment (the creature under the house? Isn't it just some kind of reaper?)
The creature in the house used the same insects as Hakubo, which could mean it is a reaper as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hanako would be working as one of the seven mysteries at the behest of the God, but he betrayed him in pursuit of a wish that only the "reaper" could fulfill, and he could only do so in exchange for the removal of the seals that limit him.

Hmm…I don't know
Maybe I'm rambling too much.

Can I request Ichigo, Byakuya and Toshiro and how they would confess?
Ichigo/Byakuya/Toshiro + Confessions
Tumblr media
He’s pretty blunt and open about it.
Like most things in his life, he just runs head first straight into it. Although he has some typical boyhood shyness & reservations, he doesn’t back down from his feelings.
He would tell you in private at least. Ichigo isn’t going to blurt it out in class and embarrass the both of you.
But he would be direct, blunt, and to the point. “I like you. Do you want to go out with me? If you need time to think about it that’s fine.”
Tumblr media
He would also be direct about it, but it takes him a little bit longer to get there than the substitute soul reaper.
Byakuya has only ever confessed his love to one other person, and it did not go well. Hisana’s death, and the fact that she never felt the same about him despite her best efforts, still weighs on his heart.
He doesn’t want it broken again.
Still, Byakuya is nothing but a man of courage & honor. And it is dishonorable to keep secrets. “My feelings for you are something that I tried to keep at bay, but it seems I would have better luck keeping back the tides. I hope I’m not wrong in trusting you feel the same, but it is not my wish to force you or barter ill will if that is not the case.”
Tumblr media
Will deny it until his last dying breath, and only may be then he will confess.
Ok…perhaps that a little dramatic. But for Toshiro sharing his feelings his about as tough as pulling teeth. Could you both just rather….not?
Still, he’s not stupid. He does appreciate that he will eventually have to tell you how he feels. Or someone else will.
Not romantic about it at all. “So I…I like you. If you didn’t know that already. I’m sure you did because only an idiot wouldn’t notice. Not that I’m saying you’re an idiot. I just feel like I’ve been pretty obvious and you should have picked up on that. You know…that I like you. If you don’t feel the same that’s fine or whatever. I just thought you should know. Do with that information what you wish, I have to go.”

Half asleep dumb Bleach AU/fic prompt idea where the hollow part doesn't just go to Ichigo.
So after Masaki’s attacked and everything the hollow actually affects her slightly (Not that Isshin notices because he’s never been around humans that mcuh and just shrugs off most things like ‘eh just a human thing’) so not only Ichigo but Yuzu and Karin both have hollow powers and Ichigo’s are a bit more pronounced (And masters hollow powers super quickly and way easier than other powers)
They all have just hollow tendency normally, as well as traits like glowing eyes sharp teeth and nails making growling or hissing noises, good sense of smell and hearing and being rather feral.
Isshin is a bit concerned about Ichigo having such sharp teeth when they come in but figures it may be because of the hollow side of him, when the twins have them he’s like ‘Oh ok just a human thing then...that’s odd... maybe it’s a Quincy thing?’ the growling and hissing and eyes glowing occasionally are also like ‘...wow Quincy’s are actually weird’ (He remembers Masaki doing the same thing...at the time he’d just thought it was pregnancy cravings)
Isshin: Ok kids time for bed
Twins* Feral beast like growls*
Isshin: hey don’t growl at me bedtime
Ryuken is not sure why every time Isshin visits he brings fresh meat and asks if his and Uryu’s glasses reflect his glowing eyes back and if they needed a special prescription?... he just writes it off as Shinigami being fucking weird.
Chad, Orihime and the others just write it off as one of Ichigo’s quirks like yeah he has orange hair, he sees dead people, he has fangs and acts feral at times that’s just Ichigo being Ichigo.
Rukia’s freaked out like clear hollow similarities stand out... but then it’s not just Ichigo but his sisters as well and his dad doesn’t seem concerned...just mentions they take after their mother... Rukia just shrugs it off ok just a weird human thing then.
Urahara doesn't interact with the twins so he just thinks this is Ichigo’s hollow coming more to the front after the soul chain thing.
The other Shinigami are freaked out but the kid has Shinigami powers... and really they have to deal with Aizen right now after all it’s just one substitute soul reaper and according to Rukia this might just be a human thing...none of them have actually spent enough time in the human world to say for certainty that it’s not.
The vizards are mildly concerned how the kid seems more hollow without a holowfication but then again... Urahara was involved so all bets are off and the kid actually seems to be in control...plus he acts that way normally.
It’s only when the arrancar show up and show same balance of feral and instincts and normalcy as Ichigo and the twins that everyone realizes oh not normal.
Isshin:YOU MEAN IT’S NOT A QUINCY THING?
Ryuken:...
Ryuken:YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS A QUINCY THING?
Ichigo understanding all the arrancar way better and all of them really liking him and the twins. Grimmjow falls hard and fast with Ichigo and is like ready to propose after the first fight.
The two of them are trying to murder each other and the twins are like ‘Ichi-nii stop flirting it’s gross’ the Shinigami are so fucking confused.
Arrancar:FINALLY A SHINIGAMI THAT MAKES SENSE.
Also hollows staying away form the Kurosaki clinic after the twins almost rip their throats out with their teeth.
Ryuken:AND YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS A QUINCY THING?
Isshin:...
Isshin:I mean in hindsight
