neither “that’s not canon” nor “fuck canon we made this all up” but a secret third thing (canon shouldn’t be taken as gospel but is useful as a reference point for building upon and recontextualizing characters and details. if you worship the source material as unchangeable then fandom in general probably isn’t for you. if you have complete disdain for the source material you would probably enjoy yourself more in a different fandom)

the biggest offense to bleach fans is when you engage with their favorite series critically and have the audacity to read the canon material provided
#ichiruki#bleach#if someone tells me im “distorting ichigo and rukia's relationship to be romantic” one more time#my sin is that i have eyes. that i can READ. that i notice PATTERNS.#the sin of media literacy#im sorry canon ship fans i will now stare at the wall and imagine rr relationship dynamic (i have to make it up bc kubo never gave us any)

Calling Ichigo the black moon is something I can kind of concede. He's portrayed as that in multiple instances. Granted it's in the scribbles at the end of the chapters. But it's there. Orihime on the other hand has never gotten anything in conjunction to Ichigo. Just fanmade stuff stolen from us.
Yeah, Ichigo had symbolism for "black moon". The different forms of his zanpakuto all had moon names. Zangetsu means "Slaying Moon". The chapter his bankai was revealed was called "The Black Moon Rising". Mugetsu means "Moonless Sky"...
There's a wonderful thread here that elaborates on this and its connection to Ichigo's Black Sun & Rukia's White Moon 🤭.
And yep, Ori has no canonical symbolism nor titles with Ichigo... while Rukia has tons 🤷♀️😌.

I love dante from the hit video game series devil may cry because he is somehow both the coolest motherfucker in the room but also a complete loser. he has soloed some of the most powerful beings in existence. he is constantly surrounded by beautiful women and yet he gets with none of them. he and his twin brother both suffer from a chronic case of The Cain Instinct. he rides around on a demon-powered motorcycle. his favorite pastimes are kicking ass and taking names, and also dance dance revolution. he has “been stabbed and jabbed by a number of things over the years.” he is obsessed with strawberry sundaes. he is constantly broke as shit because he keeps giving away his money to people who’ve lost their homes or family members to demon attacks, but also because he refuses to eat anything except for pizza and flakes out on jobs because he gets bored. he fist-fought his nephew in the vatican. he truly is the character of all time.
