[reineydraws]

i have wanted to read a grimmichi fic about grimmjow reluctantly babysitting (and eventually bonding with) kazui for so long, i drew about it 🥲💕 posting to celebrate the nanosecond of grimmjow crumbs we got last week 🙏

they really immediately recognized each others' voices in the background of a cross-dimensional zoom call huh. right away they were like "that voice!" like yes we get it u hear that voice in ur dreams lol cant wait for more grimmjow crumbs!!! (img insp)

one of those soulmate AUs where your soul mark turns black when your soulmate dies and Ichigo’s mark has been black since he was born. you can’t miss what you never had so it’s never bothered him much. only, it itches sometimes, nearly burns, and he sure as hell doesn’t know how to explain that so he wisely doesn’t mention it to anyone, ever.

meeting grimmjow for the first time both complicates and simplifies things.

#bleach #grimmichi #grimmjow jaegerjaquez #ichigo kurosaki #kurosaki ichigo #Ichigo’s just like. so my soulmate’s dead. yeah that checks out #meanwhile grimmjow doesn’t even get a mark until he’s an arrancar #and it’s the most obnoxious thing he’s ever seen #but it’s not a weakness if he doesn’t treat it like one so he just. brazenly bears it to the world #hence his lack of a shirt at all times lmao #Ichigo gets an eyeful during their first meeting and wonders why he continues to be god’s favorite punching bag

In light of that post I reblogged yesterday where it turns out that 40,000 words is considered a novel?

To be fair, there are so many worse things you could do whilst in the throes of the most well-justified mental break that anyone on any plane of existence has ever had but also--

Girl, what?

#momo hinamori #toshiro hitsugaya #'loaded with outtakes' #real credit for this goes to b3 b/c i never would have noticed this if they hadn't pointed it out in an ao3 comment once #look there is just SO MUCH going on in Color Bleach+ it's like house of fucking leaves #i believe in my heart that this issue never made it to print #both because hitsugaya shut it down as soon he saw the ad for it #--did he even see this??? he was in the living world when this issue came out. #maybe that's WHY they thought they could get away with a Capt Hitsugaya special edition-- #in any case i think hisagi had an aneurysm THAT IS TOO MUCH PAPER WE WILL GO BANKRUPT #but at the same time this manuscript EXISTS #WHO has SEEN it i need to know #hisagi obvs but i doubt he read it cover to cover he was having The Struggles at the time #normally i would say renji but he was in the living world as was matsumoto #kira was also Going Thru It but i can def see him grimly beta-reading this thing #you know i hope hitsugaya WASN'T aware of this thing at all #until like 3 years later when byakuya is like 'so as per your biography--' #and toshiro is like 'as per my W H A T?'

No but actually coming from someone with fine wavy/curly hair who had some hair loss and lots of issue I really and truly wish I could sit down and talk with Chan because he really needs someone who understands curly hair to get him some products and show him what to do and he also needs to stop using heat. Like no straightening. No hair drying. Or at least very sparsely.

#like i think the reason it makes me so Eye twitch is bc I've been in a very similar spot #i get it. i loved straightening my hair loved colouring it too #but i didnt colour or straighten it for a good long while and it did help #didnt cure me! but it did help. #and my hair got back to the spot where i could colour it again without as much issue #and mind you i do sometimes curl my hair or blow dry it for special occasions like im not a be all end all never do anything to it again #person. honestly thats why so many methods and stuff always put me off bc they were so dramatically like NEVER DO A SINGLE FUN THING AGAIN #but with him it'd be interesting to see 6 months with no colouring (including black! black is better than bleach but it still damages!) #and especially no straightening/blow drying etc. #i think that would really help determine if those are the things causing trouble or if its something else #bc hormones and stuff can also do it #like at the end of the day i think hes lovely but its p clear his hair is something that bothers him and idk #i would like to see him get to the point where it isnt as much of an issue #also still ascertain he'd look good with it short but thats just me #anyway Woah long tangent Sorry #its all said with love #also he doesnt have super tight curls like my dad had Tight curls #but his are def more soft/loose so thats a factor too

honestly fuck aizen but you know how insane and sicknasty it would have been if kubo gave him a better motive than “loneliness” or at least explained it better. you’re not getting me w some sob story abt how he had no equal so he committed mass murder and colonized a place. that’s straight nonsense.

#that is such a loose motive w such limited context #PLUS literally every interaction he and urahara had at the end of arrancar arc #DOUBLE PLUS urahara’s dead silence at ichigo describing aizen’s blade? #w that you can’t tell me they didn’t have history tf #i’m going to throw up bc now i’m invested #it’s almost like it’s my job to make a history for him sigh… #there’s a good bit of evidence that suggests (to me at least) that they might have worked together in the past which would probably better #explain aizen’s motivations but no kubo js wants to play w me #i’m actually gonna kms TELL ME why he knows allat shit abt the hogyoku and even had his own version #and then on TOP OF THAT urahara’s the one person that he claims to revere #bc his mind somehow exceeds aizen’s??? #wild thing to admit to the enemy all i’m saying #nigga gave him parting words i’m gonnnneee just say you miss him lmfao #that’s the yap sesh folks 💀 #i wrote this while falling asleep so if this isn’t cohesive now yk why #bleach #clorox bleach #kisuke urahara #sosuke aizen

yall im not gonna have to hurt myself to get out of bed AND im getting a new mattress. IM GONNA BE SLEEPING TWO FEET OFF THE GROUNDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

#It Speaks #i was just hoping a little #barely hopeful bc of the cost #and theyre ALL coming #oh my god i can also toss the busted pillows ive been usingggggggg #i think im gonna toss the floof and bleach the hell outta the fabric #if youre asking why the microfiber pillows when i asked for such a nice bed? #i live my life in shame and only come out when it seems absurd that anyone would do the thing

I wasn't going to make or post one myself at first. (Despite having made this, I'm kind of not really into the tiermaker thing? I have issues with like "top 10" lists and other arbitrary rankings because I just feel like I don't have enough of a real criteria or where to start.) But it seemed in poor taste to invite people to show off their bad taste in waifus and not offer up my own vulnerability. So go ahead, judge my taste

Doing this just reminds me why I actually really appreciate things like dragonflycave's crazy huge pokemon sorter that just feeds to either-or/greater than/equal to prompts until it works out its own mathematical score, instead of making me drag that shit around manually. (The Pokemon fav. character sorter here on tubmlr too)

Clearly, what I really need is to invent some kind of needlessly complex 3 dimensional tagging, scoring and charting system that determines proximities and shared borders and relative positioning for you and then lets you zoom around them in VR like it's a fucking star wars galaxy map

I hate that now that I actually finished this dumb thing, I've still got the itch to fuck around with clippings, and it's making me considering making a husbando one, even though I specifically said I wouldn't......

Also silly question, but am I the only person who gets like seemingly disproportionately hung up on bad anime hair? Hime cuts and blunt bangs are just a hard demerit for me for some reason... Similar with straight bob cuts. And, like, Pokemon has a strong thriving waifu based fandom, but some of their goofy ass hair is just too much to look past for me.

#bleach #i do find it funny that i'm obviously the one who put every character in there #and even made the last minute decision to take some out #and yet i had to set aside whole subcategories #of things that basically didn't need to be on this list #and then STILL didn't even use all the characters included #theoretcially i could have just not had the bottom like 5 tiers #save the space #but no #man.... #looking over these again now #some of these dont even reflect my tastes #i got all compulsive about putting like characters in proximity #and put some i dont even like in weirdly high tiers #just because it put them next to characters that were kind of similar #why am i so bad at tier stuff....

△ Qweck - what's sharing a living situation with Giliys like now that you know what's going on with him and Theo?

6/10

"Oh, I know what's going on with him and Theo? That's news to me," she huffs before wincing at the loss of control. "My apologies, that was...unbecoming. As for living with Giliys...It's fine." She sees the disbelief on your face. "No, it's...actually fine. Giliys is not the problem with our living situation, which is...unexpected." She rubs her eyes, and you notice the dark circles under her eyes, particularly pronounced where it overlaps with her bleached patch. "He spends most of his time taking care of Theo - helping him dress or feeding him or turning the pages of the book Theo's reading, and he's usually very quiet when he does that. Only speaks when he really needs to ask Theo how he wants something done. Which is understandable, considering that Theo snaps at every little mistake I make while doing his very best to ignore that Giliys even exists.

"I just...this isn't how it's supposed to be. Theo isn't supposed to be the mean one. Giliys isn't supposed to be the patient one. And I'm not supposed to be so...so...." She stops, a far off look in her eyes. "They're always looking for ship surgeons at the docks. Sometimes I think..." Qweck shakes her head, and with a quick blink, the longing in her eyes has gone. "It doesn't matter. You didn't ask about that. The answer is that living with Giliys has been fine."

#pathfinder wotr #pwotr pals #oc: qweck varnaj #ask game #little sneak peak into whats going on in breakup arc land #theo hasnt been this volatile since before the bleaching #hes struggling #he's been sent into exile with a new disability and chronic pain and no money #qweck and giliys are in crisis mode #and they actually work together really well in crisis mode #they wouldnt have tolerated working together so long otherwise #so qweck is actually glad giliys is there #while getting increasingly frustrated (and hurt) by Theo #poor thing really needs to talk to someone about everything #which is why she didnt try as hard to deflect this time #definitely isnt just that im too tired to figure out how to convey all this with her being her usual recalcitrant self

thinking of the good old 2014-2016 female manga protagonists. all of them iconic...... rukia and orihime and karin and rangiku and yoruichi and hiyori from bleach, shirayuki from akagami no shirayukihime, hiyori from noragami, lucy and juvia and levy and erza from fairy tail, naho from orange, kaori from shigatsu wa kimi no uso, yona from akatsuki no yona, mirai from kyoukai no kanata. queens all

#half of them are off their rockers but queens all nonetheless #like. you wouldn't want to be in the same room as kaori yona AND the fairy tail/bleach girls in one go. but they're lovely and i love them #songbird again #looking at my old myanimelist account and being absolutely staggered that some of these mangas are STILL ONGOING #like bro how ???? what ????? why ????????? #(mangakas DO need food on the table i recognise this. but also some of these mangas have been running since 2013 or before that #also it could wander into bleach territory where the story just gets worse and worse because the mangaka keeps stretching #the darn thing past its expiration date. that one went on for 15 years and the guy didn't have a plan. but i digress)

[berrymascarpone]

Consider:

1) one needs to see Aizen’s Kyoka Suigetsu’s shikai in order to be affected by the illusions

2) Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu to publically fake his dead body in the soul society arc

3) in that same arc, we are told that captains and lieutenants are not supposed to carry their zanpakuto around in peace times, and therefore

4) it is unlikely that literally every shinigami has seen Aizen’s shikai, despite his attempts to impress them early at the academy

In conclusion, there is statistically at least one low level new shinigami graduate who overslept on the day of Aizen’s practical demonstration lesson and therefore did not see Aizen’s body pinned to the wall, just all the captains and lieutenants and the rest of the Gotei 13 freaking out over nothing, and had to emperor’s new clothes his way through the rest of the arc.

#bleach #bleach ramblings #does this count as meta #Aizen #Kyoka Suigetsu #anyways this is assuming he didn’t also use a fake body and only used his shikai to fool the savvy medical examiners like Unohana #but I think it’s funnier to think some random shinigami was running around super confused #thinking there is no body why is everyone saying there’s a body #or in this case the emperor’s dead body #once Aizen’s treachery is revealed he falls over in relief like thank god I wasn’t going insane #also aizen woudl not have been able to succeed if there had been any other visually impaired shinigami besides Tosen #he wasn’t going to tell the captain commander that the thing they were all treating like Aizen’s dead body was a piece of cardboard

I still have so much anger in my heart and I hate that :(

#I just want to not care anymore #I don’t want to give a shit #but my stupid brain keeps making me think the same things over and over and it’s literal insanity I need to soak it in bleach fr #and yet I also want to curse those who wronged me :/ you’ve fucked me up so much that I couldn’t even function on so many days #I hate hating but I *will* hate you which is why I will block and hopefully not see any of your kind again #fuck all of you #my posts

Since I guess I'm a person who talks about Bleach right now I may as well talk about the latest (dub) episode given I actually do have a few thoughts about it

First off I suppose I'll talk about Gremmy. And by suppose I mean I was always going to bring this up, no matter how small a slice of the episode actually addresses him, and you cannot escape it. So Kenpachi mentions that everything Gremmy conjured vanished when he died—there's no ontological inertia. His construct-body disappears along with all the blood that was inside it, the platform he summoned crumbles apart (I can't tell if it vanished entirely or if the rubble stuck around, which is another point of consternation)... but, frankly, I feel like the way the lack of ontological inertia is handled is really inconsistent and raises some questions as to how much kiddo's powers really are dependent on maintaining concentration. Kenpachi mentions at one point during the fight that Yachiru's bones returned to normal since Gremmy couldn't "mess with two minds at the same time" and yet that's... not what he does? He's making a concrete construct in reality, not an illusion in one person's mind. The platform, the meteor, Gwenael Lee, etc. were all visible to and could effect multiple people, and Gremmy easily maintained concentration on the platform while fighting Kenpachi with... well, everything else he did. I was going to say that I couldn't think of any point where he had three creations out at once, but Yachiru's bones continued to be cookies even through the first bit of the fight, so.

Furthermore, we have to talk about the meteor. Because kiddo did summon a meteor, and he very much talked as though it did have ontological inertia, going so far as to say that even if Kenpachi somehow killed him, the meteor would still wipe out the Seireitei. This could be explained as him bluffing, except... there's not much point to the bluff? I can't honestly expect that he thought he could demoralize Kenpachi, and he definitely didn't expect him to fight the meteor, and I can't think of another reason to bluff. Kid really was in "if I can't win I'm dragging him down with me" mentality. Maybe (tentative maybe) he figured that the heat from the meteor would still decimate the Soul Reapers (and also the Quincy, his allies, and frankly I can understand any reservations anyone might have about letting him loose on Soul Society), but it still doesn't sit right with me.

Moving on from that essay: we get to see the girls! Kubo may not properly respect women but it's always the girls who have the banter and the dynamics. It started with Hallibel's squad and now we have these five—or four, as Bambietta's missing in this episode.

These girls would, all said, be much happier if they abandoned the Quincy army and went off to be the protagonist squad of a magical girl anime. They have cool transformations! Matching purses! They call their attacks in a more wonderful way than pretty much anyone else in Bleach—and this is Bleach we're talking about. Giselle is clearly having more fun than anyone else (she cheered for her enemy at one point!) but they're all enjoying themselves. Except maybe Candice. Their teamwork leaves a bit to be desired, but hey, at least they seem to be pretty good at not dying even when they should.

Then at last the gang is all here and Ichigo can feel properly betrayed. God do I hope Uryu knows what he's doing...

#bleach #bleach tybw #gremmy thoumeaux #giselle gewelle #I can NOT wait for the rest of this season to be dubbed #the temptation to watch ahead in the sub is strong but then I'd have to rewatch episodes if I want to get the dub and #for now that deterrent is stronger #you know maybe I've been a little too harsh on the kid #I mean he did a good job #even if everything he tried was just a variation on a direct attack for the most part #like that's why you lost #you can't OUT-POWER a KENPACHI #I'm pretty sure there was one other thing I was going to say but all brainpower went into that essay #and the last few dregs were swept up by the magical girls

[brightyearning]

bleach is for the himbos, the bimbos, and the sluts. i have never seen an anime so beautiful and so empty...

#bleach tybw #im so bored w the plot and idk why #maybe its all the random deaths that have no build up?? #or the fact that it went full naruto w that uryu plot #but its just so hollow and ornamental #like pretty people doing pretty things #LOVE the black characters though #the mangaka didn't let me down in that regard

[aropride]

what if i split dye my hair now. and go over it again for pride month. im sick of green hair i like it and all but its been various shades of green for months

#text #the thing with that though is i'd have to bleach my roots. and i HATE bleaching my roots. i usually just bleach All my hair again which... #is probably why it got so fried. and id like to avoid that as much as possible so. #idk maybe i could recruit a friend to help me bleach it.. or my sister she's helped before #but idkkkkkk #i think i should do it i think it'd be fun. however. how am i supposed to write and sew and watch tv and listen to music AND dye my hair at #rthe SAME TIME. now im in . like waiting mode but for decisions. where you dont make them #EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION. THATS THE PHRASE

[soldier-poet-king]

Anyway had an absolutely horrifying experience last night and yes it was genuinely traumatizing and tbh I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep in my room without fear again and my anxiety is through the roof and I've been SO productive at work today trying to distract mysel and not cry. But like. I will not go into detail, it will suffice to say it involved bugs and specifically, those nasty house centipedes, which I'm more afraid of than anything in the world, even spiders

#whatever you're thinking i promise you the reality is probably worse #franposting #bugs cw #genuinely i need to bleach my whole body and burn down the house and never sleep ever again #NOTHING IS SAFE #my SANCTUARY SAFE SPACE (small private barely 100 ft room) #has been ruined. genuinely #genuinely afraid to be in there rn #its SO STUPID bc its like #a bug. cant hurt me. BUT I HAVE A PHOBIA #tbh. mice would be better. a rat. a snake. #idgaf bugs are the fuckin worst #idk how y'all who live in places where roaches are common survive #i have seen one (1) roach in my whole life and it wasnt even in a house and i live in fear of them #tbh. tbh. tbh. I'm genuinely trying not to cry bc the work day is almost over and im afraid to go home #ik that sounds hyperbolic but pls believe me for once i am being dead serious i am so genuinely anxious #like rating my fears. theyre all intangible existential things+ bugs with too many legs + claustrophobia #THOSE MF CENTIPDES THO #why Do they EXIST
