#Mai Otoribashi

[citruya]

Happy belated Mother’s Day! 💛 Mama!Haya with all of her kids. Click “read more” for information about each kid’s personality and interests.

Additional information:

- each kid is wearing their fav colour (Haya herself can't really choose just one). - Takafumi starts to grow out his hair at 13 & it gets to around his chest level at 15/16. - re: the "hair length fluctuates" note on small Akiharu... you guessed it, it's bc of that pesky bubblegum & other hair accidents he keeps having as a kid. Even so, he will grow it out as a teen, to match his older brother. - you might wonder why does Mai have brown hair & Akiharu has yellow eyes. For Mai, she gets the hair colour after Haya's father; and Aki gets his eye tone after Haya's mother.

Bleach Headcanons: Skincare

Who’s the skincare expert and who uses just soap and water?

Jushiro Ukitake:

He doesn’t believe in flashy skincare, thinking it needs to be convenient, gentle and affordable. Think of brands like Cerave, Cetaphil, and La Roche Posay. He’ll probably have a trusted cleanser he’s been using for years (centuries?), a reliable serum, maybe retinoid based (gotta use something anti-aging at this stage) and a good, hydrating moisturizer (illness makes his skin dry and he hates looking that way). 

Byakuya Kuchiki:

Can and will only buy the best of the best. A skincare snob. Even if there’s an amazing drugstore brand, he refuses to use it. SK II, Tatcha, and La Mer are all you’ll find in his bathroom cabinet. Of course he follows the 7 step Korean skincare routine. Cleanse twice, toner, essence, serum, moisturizer eye cream. Adds a sunscreen if he plans on going out. He will not compromise his routine for anything, so be prepared to wait for him as he goes through this process everyday, twice.

Renji Abarai:

He’ll pretend like he doesn’t do any skincare but he has his little stash of items he uses for self-indulgence. He enjoys wearing face masks (thanks to Rukia), which he applies after using a cleanser that’s trending, like from Tula or Drunk Elephant. The man somehow has balanced skin so he’ll use an everyday moisturizer like the Clinique Moisture Surge. 

Kensei Muguruma:

He uses his body wash as face wash, and whatever body moisturizer he has on hand he uses on his face too. What’s the point after all? It’s skin. As long as it’s clean and not cracking, there isn’t a problem. 

Mayuri Kurotsuchi:

He creates his own skincare but it’s kind of questionable. He claims his skin can tolerate quite a lot, so his skincare always has heavy amounts of acids in it; glycolic acid, salicylic acid, ascorbic acid. Top this off with a heavy dosage retinol. Does it work? We may never know from all the makeup he uses on his face. At least he removes all of it before sleeping (?). 

Kisuke Urahara:

He also makes his own concoctions, but in a much less dramatic way than Mayuri. Grows his own ingredients, like oranges for vitamin C, mint for salicylic acid, and carrots for retinol. Think of his products like a  clean, organic skincare line that he wouldn’t sell to anyone unless he’s happy with it himself. He rarely buys commercially available products but the one thing he will spend his money on is sheet masks, they’re convenient and he honestly finds them tedious to make on his own.

Shinji Hirako:

He may not show it, but this man is very self conscious about his appearance. He has a mix of both popular and indie skin care brands. Think Belif, Youth to the People and Drunk Elephant. He probably regularly cleanses and uses a moisturizer, maybe something with vitamin C in it, since he can’t have people seeing the dark circles under his eyes.

Ichigo Kurosaki:

Essence? Toner? Serums? Isn’t a cleanser just soap? Give him some bar soap and a CeraVe moisturizer. He doesn’t have time to figure this shit out. There’s people that need to be saved and stuff. 

Rose Otoribashi:

Yes, he knows the difference between a toner and an essence. He also thinks essences are a gimmick. Give him a balancing cleanser for his oily skin, and a toner with some salicylic acid in it to further help the oil. Add a vitamin C serum and a lightweight moisturizer and he’s ready to rock.

Rose and Izuru, soon after Rose gets back to the Soul Society, shippy if you squint

----------------------

"Captain", Izuru says, "Why aren't you wearing your robes?"

"Oh, I had to send them back."

"Why? Was something wrong with them?"

"Yes... on second thought they were still too unexciting for me, I would have liked even more ruffles..."

Izuru tries to stay calm, takes in a deep breath, starts counting to ten-

Someone knocks on the door, and a very shy messenger is allowed in.

"I, I, I have a package for, for... the Captain of the Third Division, um..."

When the messenger sees that neither of them is wearing a haori, they just stand there in confusion.

Rose grins and points to Izuru. Izuru makes a shocked face and points to Rose.

"Who are you, are you new?" Izuru turns to the messenger. "And even so, you still haven't heard the news? Captain Otoribashi has been reinstated to his previous position."

"Yes, Izuru, but in the present moment you're still in charge of the Third Division."

"It's supposed to be for the Captain, I was only an acting Captain."

"And what a wonderful actor you are, I for one do applaud your performance!"

Izuru stands there in utter disbelief watching Rose who is having way too much fun with this. And because he can't think of anything to say, he just goes over and takes the package and sends the messenger away. With a very serious look on his face he hands the package to Rose, who pushes it gently back to Izuru, smiling.

With an annoyed sigh Izuru opens the package, and of course it's Rose's uniform.

"See?" Izuru says. "It's yours. Too long for me. And here's the certificate, too, it says 'Handmade and altered especially for Captain Rojuro Otoribashi'."

Izuru is watching his new boss with unimpressed eyes, like who made this guy a captain? Not once but twice?? But when Rose takes his new robes from Izuru's hands and gazes at them, that carefree smile turns... sad. The way Rose holds the clothing is reverent, and for a moment Izuru gets the feeling that he is intruding on something very personal, so he looks away, blushing a little.

"Am I glad to be back?" Rose helps, and now his trademark smile is back on his face again... but not quite. "More than I can explain in words. An instrumental piece would be best." He sighs. "It's just..."

Izuru can't deny that he was indeed wondering.

"It's just... ?"

"Well, it's all happening so fast", Rose says. "I would have liked to look forward to it a bit longer, that's all."

Izuru has no clue how to handle this. But he does appreciate that he gets to see something other that unimpressed look on his new Captain's face. He didn't know what to think at first, and he's so done with fake smiles, but this, this looks genuine, and... that must be why he can't... take his eyes off... that face...

Then he finally gets an idea, and the magic of the moment is spoiled.

"How much longer would you have liked? I could... play the part for another day or two...?"

Rose chuckles.

"It's quite alright, don't worry. The suddenness of it all, it's actually quite fitting, on second thought. I lost everything in the blink of an eye, and my return was just as swift. Maybe it was better that I didn't have time to hope."

Izuru is speechless, why is Rose admitting all of this, he himself would never have, Captain Ichimaru would never have-- but he regains control of himself, and responds with a slow nod.

"Well then, I'll leave you to it, Captain. I mean, you'll want to put these on, right?"

"Right. Of course."

Izuru goes to open the door.

"I can already tell", Rose says. "It'll be more interesting this time around."

"... I'll see you later, Captain", Izuru says, and as he walks along the hallway, he finds himself hoping, despite himself, that this time will indeed be better.

Thank you for reading 😘😘😘

I may or may not be projecting because very recently I was forced to leave a good job and find a new one in a very short time, lol.

More soon!

Announcing New Bleach Imagines Event:

This is a collab event that sprung from @seireiteisins Bleach discord! Everyone can thank Mia and Tati (the first two blogs linked below) for putting in the leg work and making this event happen! ❤️

@seireiteisins @thoti-thots @mindinmuken @chire-senbonimagines​ and I will be posting pieces based off Summer prompts + Bleach characters we threw into random dot org. Too bad chaos doesn’t start with an S or I would’ve threw it in the title. 😌

I will have our character lists below! The prompts will stay a spicy (or sweet) secret until the piece has been posted.

Not everyone has decided which pieces they want fluff/smut so that may be unlisted (TBA = To Be Announced). These lists are also in alphabetical order, not in post order.

All pieces will be linked below after they’ve been posted! I will also be adding a link to this post on my pinned directory so it’s easier to check back to.

[omoikokoro]

it's a second for he reacts to the dropped candle but rose scoops down to collect it without a second thought. the sight when he straightens again, though... that has his hazy mind grind to a halt. even in the semi-darkness, it's clear izuru's chosen to nurse his injury in the most teasing, erotic manner.

rose almost drops the candle himself. it takes every last shred of self-control he has remaining not to gently grasp his lieutenant's hand and bring it to his own lips. but, somehow, he resists; the musician still has to swallow before speaking again, however.

"because you've enchanted me from the moment i saw you. because i want to see something more than ennui in your eyes," he wants to see them alight with desire, with a warmth that's been lost for far too long, "so, will you let me?" rose knows he's asking too much too soon but can't bring himself to care all that much in the moment. his muse will give in with time; he's sure enough of that.

--- From the beginning, his captain has insisted on prying him open. Izuru is not blind to it. In fact, he thinks he may actually be more finely attuned to it than he was when he was just a bright-eyed youth. However subtle Otoribashi wishes to be, it is in his reiatsu, too. Like someone playing a rhythm on your back with their fingers. Izuru can feel the thrum of it. It is not oppressing, at least. He's sure it could be..

His thumb lowers slowly from his mouth, but his lips remain slightly parted. He tries to look through his captain. To see within him; look for ulterior motives. Something different than the romantic swivel he is spewing about his eyes. But he finds nothing. And maybe he just isn't very good at reading people's true intentions. Or maybe... His captain is sincere.

He would like to believe the latter..

Perhaps if he told Momo or Renji they'd warn him against it. They'd worry he was getting himself into a poorly overdone imitation of his last 'relationship'. But.. Perhaps then it is a good thing he won't tell them..

He leans on his windowsill and reaches out to take the candle back from Rose. Their hands touch. Ízuru does not pull away as though burned a second time.

"Alright.."

It's one kiss... What's the worst that could happen?

[toomanydamnmuses]

@katakurah from here

He watches, raising his chin even in a silent challenge, as Asuka stands and curls that hand around his neck. He doesn’t fight it either when his head is tilted upwards that much more. 

He knows better than to expect a kiss when the 6th seat leans down, although the bite still causes his breath to hitch before speeding up ever so slightly. He very nearly moans right there, and as it is he has to pull his own hands up and place them on Asuka’s desk to brace himself for a moment, lest his knees give out right then and there. 

The question that follows is a tempting one, that much is certain. The other officers of the Third are no stranger to moments such as this, so there may not be as much thrill. They’re used to it, after all. 

Captain Otoribashi, on the other hand... That brings a small smirk onto Izuru’s face, even as he lightly brings out his tongue to run it over his sore lower lip to check for the taste of blood. He can’t help but be mildly pleased when he does taste it.

“Let’s go to my quarters. They’re closer anyways.”

[rangikuxmatsumoto]

--what comes after death

For many, nightmares never start off as nightmares – but rather as simple dreams. Yet, just with a horror movie, the suspense grows, the dream begins to take a darker turn. In the movies, it’s a jump scare or perhaps a terrifying reveal that expose the true nature of the film.

She had started having them again – nightmares. But they weren’t the ones that plagued her after Gin’s death. Those had subsided, never truly going away but they came less frequently – perhaps a sign that she was slowly, but surely coming to terms with his death. No, these nightmares were different, they weren’t replaying the same traumatic memory repeatedly. They were the creation of her subconscious.

It always starts the same. The room slowly comes into focus, the captain’s meeting hall in the First division. From her vantage point she can see all the taichous and fukutaichous at attention – it’s the middle of a meeting. This is routine, this is normal. Slowly though, the tide of the room changes, a subtle shift – darkness descends but not over the entirety of the room, just in certain spots. She first witnesses it to her right, Muguruma-taichou’s posture isn’t as ridged as she’s come to expect it. His shoulders hang disjointedly, his head lulls forward. Yet, Shuuhei and Mashiro don’t seem concerned, they continue to stare forward as though nothing is wrong.

The next is Otoribashi-taichou, she notices him sway, his posture and body like that of Muguruma-taichou. She doesn’t watch for too long, before it seems the light above her seems to have gone out, a shadow descends over her. Her gaze snaps to her taichou in front of her, he watches his head lull forward, shoulders slump. She attempts to reach out to him but that’s when she notices she’s trembling. The tips of her fingers have taken on a strange hue, grayish – like that of rotten flesh – before she knows it, it is her whole hand, and arm. Her vision blurs but she can see her taichou has turned, Muguruma-taichou and Otoribashi-taichou as well. Their cold, dead eyes staring at her. Their skin gray, their mind and bodies no longer theirs – a girlish laugh ripples through the room.  A petite figure looms in the shadow of the room. She laughs again, and she can find her mind slipping – her body is no longer hers to control.

Not this.

                                        Not again.

                                                                                            It haunts her.

Her nightmare forces her to see herself as to what she had become. Her cold, dead, blue eyes stare back at her, body turned, controlled.

      Beyond dead.

                                                                            A fate worse than death.

                                           Once more – a puppet.

She always awakes startled, shaking. She is quick to turn, snap on her bedside light, banishing the darkness that paints her skin in a shadowy gray, far too close in shade to her nightmarish form. She knows she won’t sleep the rest of the night, so she throws back the covers and walks to her bathroom. She hesitates to look up into the mirror, instead gripping the sides of the sink with dear life.

Dear life…

                                                                                         Precious life.

                              But how long did she have now?

She had stood there, listening to Kurotsuchi-taichou explain in excessive detail and length what he had done to reverse the zombification that had befallen them. Hearing in retrospect what had been done to them, what they had done while under control of another.

She could read nothing in the expressions of the three taichous who stood with her – but her blood was running cold – Muguruma-taichou and Otoribashi-taichou’s experience was slightly different than hers and Toshiro’s, she was told. She thought that had been it – a long winded retelling, focusing more on the genius behind the task than that of the actual process – ‘you lot won’t understand the science behind it anyways’ had been his condensing remark – until Kurotsuchi-taichou had sneered and asked the two of them if they understood the cost of the procedure.

Of course, they had paid a price.

                                              Freedom – had only cost them part of their lives.

A shinigami’s life was never guaranteed, they could live for a couple centuries – or a millennium or somewhere in between. She had lived over a century and a half but Toshiro – her gaze fell instantly to her taichou. His gaze was cold, stoic – he didn’t seem rocked that his life would come to an end sooner than anticipated. But she felt the pit in her stomach drop.

‘How long?’ Toshiro questioned, voice steady – strong, unphased.

              ‘I don’t know. If you allow for further tests…’

‘We aren’t going to be your test subjects, Kurotsuchi. Matsumoto, we’re leaving.’

She had managed to hold onto her dignity, managed to not make a scene – she’d need time to truly come to terms with that she had just learned. Though, it was like her taichou had read her thoughts – he had always been able to do that – for as they stood silently in their office, neither one able to meet the other’s gaze, an ominous cloud having descended over them, he spoke with the maturity of years not yet lived.

‘Don’t listen to him, Matsumoto, we have plenty of time left to live.’

                                                                            ‘Of course, taichou.’

She had appreciated his optimism – even if she felt it might have been forced for her sake. Or maybe he was feeling the dread of the revelation.

If only optimism could have prevented the nightmares from coming. They had started that night and happened nearly every night since.

At long last her steely blue gaze lifted to stare at her reflection in the mirror – other than the subtle bags under her eyes, she saw no change. No rapid deterioration of her youth before her eyes, no corrupted gray flesh of her nightmares, no cold, dead gaze staring back at her.

How long did she have?

                                How many years did it cost her?

                                                                                                How long?                

As if in autopilot – because this was the third month of these nightly terrors – the sound of running water cut through the spiraling thoughts. Wringing out the washcloth before gently pressing it to her eyes, she let the coolness of the water sooth her. She can feel and hear her pulse slowly coming down from the adrenaline induced high. Her breathing growing steadier with every inhale and exhale.

It may have been five minutes it could have been an hour, but at length she let the washcloth drop into the basin of the sink. She didn’t bother looking at her reflection as she exited her bathroom, flicking off the light on the way out. She doubted she’d get much sleep, but she returned to her bed, the sheets cold once more. Reaching over, she flicked off the bedside lamp, laying in the silent darkness. Enough time had passed where the scenes of the nightmare no longer appeared her in the eerie gloom of the night. She may be haunted by them during slumber but at least she wouldn’t be plagued by them during her waking hours.

Slowly, her hand rose, crossing her chest to trace the faint scars on her shoulder and collar bone. How much easier was it to carry the physical scars than the mental ones. Fingertips traced the scars, back and forth, till her lids struggled to remain open.

She had survived.

                          Not once.                           But twice.

                                                                                             She was alive.

                      At the very least.                                            For now.

 For however long she had.

                                                ��           She’d continue to live.

CHARACTER INTERVIEW (repost don’t reblog)

basics (BLEACH VERSE)

NAME:  Akiyama Nao. NICKNAME(S): Starling, Freckle, Spots etc. AGE: 26 (270yrs)  SPECIES:  Shinigami/Soul

personal

MORALITY:   lawful / neutral / chaotic / good / grey  / evil RELIGION: None. SINS:   greed  / gluttony / sloth / lust / pride / envy / wrath This bitch deals in neutrals, and also, any of these, if felt, are so dull and mild, I don’t think I could claim them. VIRTUES:   chastity / charity / diligence /  humility  /  kindness  / patience / justice. PRIMARY GOALS IN LIFE:  They are comfortable where they are now. They just want to keep together their little community in the 3rd. KNOWN LANGUAGES:  Japanese, a few words of English.

physical

BUILD:   scrawny / bony / slender / fit / athletic / curvy / herculean / pudgy / average HEIGHT:  178 cm or 5'10"  WEIGHT: 165lbs or 75kg. SCARS / BIRTHMARKS: Hundreds of freckles, some more noticeable than others. 2 below their right eye and two on the left side of their neck in particular. They have some scars as well. General wear and tear, but none that stick out. ABILITIES / POWERS: Their zanpakutou plays with the concept of inai inai baa { peek-a-boo }, and has a hallucination based shikai. Anything Nao touches with their blade will cease to exist in the minds of those regarding the act. It is based on the concept of object permanence. When children are young, they do not realise that when something is hidden, it is still there, only not visible to the eye. Nao’s zanpakutou does just this; it hides the object or person, and as such, their opponent will believe the object or person to have disappeared.  Nao does not strictly rely on their zanpakutou’s ability, and in fact rarely finds use for it. Instead  they prefer to use a combination of hakuda, kidou and swordmanship to fight their opponents. They are well-versed in all of these, but not a master. RESTRICTIONS: They are prone to {seemingly} caring too little, coming off as blasé, rather missing the passion that may be expected given certain situations. This mostly comes forth from a lack of socialization when they were younger in the Rukon though. It will show most when they have to interact with anyone outside their comfortable bubble within the higher seats of the Third division.

“and so the winter wind whistles through the bamboo fence no more.”

“... So, the last remnants of Yhwach’s Spiritual Pressure have finally disappeared, have they?”

“Y-yes, Captain Otoribashi, sir… At least, that’s what the latest official reports from the S.D.R.I’s Spirit Particle Inspection Squad show...”

“I see… You may go, Kichirou-kun.”

CLICK

As the sound of hurried sandal-clad footfall upon the polished wooden floorboards faded into the distance, a poignant sigh emanated from within the four walls of the Third Division Captain’s Quarters. With one elbow placed delicately on the desk in front of him, his hand pressed up delicately against the man’s forehead for support, Rose’s tragically-tranced magenta pupils gazed through the large window to his right as he absentmindedly twiddled a pen between his thumb and middle finger, desperate to occupy his hands with something - something to detract him from his thoughts.

“For ten years… For ten years we’ve waited in anticipation… in fear...”

The melancholic man mused aloud as feeble rays of the morning’s pale sun fell upon half of his face. His long locks of gold lay bountiful as ever down and around his shoulders, with a few stray bangs hanging over his eyes, occasionally brushing past his eyes. Normally he’d sweep them aside, perhaps behind his ear - but now…? Now he no longer had the strength to do so. One would have thought that having a weight lifted off of one’s shoulders would have filled one with relief. To have one’s burdens lifted would give one respite to their strife, and give one the vigour to jump to the highest mountain peak.

Apparently, this was in fact not so. 

The excruciating weightlessness within that now suspended his conscience within the white void that cavitated his chest only went to reinforce the fact. Clearly, those claims were unfounded - a mere superimposition of sentiment upon the masses by those whom such a feeling had never so much as fleetingly graced their collective visage. Oh, how he cursed their memory. If this was how it felt to be ‘relieved’, then Rose no longer wished to feel.

“Asuka, Taketsuna, Rikuu… It’s all over now...”

Oh, how his ‘V’ had cried for them that day. With a sudden tug from within, Rose felt the memories cruelly pluck at his heartstrings even ten years later. Three, and many more, taken on that day, taken from the world that existed beyond the veil, the world that was where those that went were taken to. Three members of his Division whose faces he would never see again, three muses whose voices sang forever silenced. Their memory would not live in vain, for their bodies lay buried in a resting place most sacred. However, their presence would be unilaterally missed by all who knew them as he did. Rikuu’s diligence despite the danger of demise, Taketsuna’s bravery - however brash he may have been - bravery that beamed brilliant as a beacon, and Asuka’s sharp style of script - all qualities that would never quite be matched by any to fill their proverbial shoes. 

“Don’t worry, you’ll never quite be forgotten. You three… and Izuru…” 

Izuru… now that was a silence that would sting the most. Resurrected from his untimely demise at the hands of the Quincy known as ‘Bazz-B’, but at what cost. The next that Rose had seen of his Lieutenant filled his heart with the lingering despair that could not be wished away by any corporeal force. Whether one could still be called ‘alive’ after all that was a matter best left undisclosed. Rose would forever resent that wretched Kurotsuchi for turning his most beloved inspiration into nothing but a mere shell, a shell that would never quite sing the same song. His no longer had a melody, but only a residual rhythm. Such a song would do for no such encore, and it was that fact that saddened Rose the most.

Tick.

Tock.

Tick.

Tock.

As his ever-impending train of thought spiralled into lamentable silence once again, Rose’s ears became irreparably filled with the constant ticking of the grandfather clock that stood in the corner of his quarters. Time passed by so slowly when one was alone. Ten eternities had passed since the end of that conflict, or at least what had felt like it. Perhaps he should go and visit the World of the Living… It had been a while since he had seen Love. Despite that, he wondered very much whether it would help, even. 

Reaching forward his hand from his sleeve, Rose focused his weary gaze upon his pale hand - clenching into a fist before releasing. Though it may appear not so to an outsider, to him his skin had never quite lost the grey tinge of his previously zombified state. Much like Izuru, had he ever been alive since then? One could argue both ways. One might also say that now was no time to mope, but Rose had long since grown tired of saying that to himself. 

There was no point in lying to oneself in the mirror, after all.

Bleach Headcanons: Oddities

Weird stuff members of the Gotei 13 do.

Shinji Hirako:

Buys candy from the human world, like gummy bears or cotton candy. Claims it helps build team morale. 

You know Urahara is the one smuggling these goods from the human world

“I can write it off as a work expenditure!” He claims when you ask him about the expenditure budget

Hosts “Reverse Days” where his squad members wear their shihakusho inside out. People who try to speak backwards are rewarded with smuggled gummy bears. 

Jushiro Ukitake:

Has a bad habit of removing his haori when it gets too hot and forgets where he left it

Hosts weekly tea parties to promote the squad members becoming familiar with each other. 

Of course he brings a touch of “Alice in Wonderland’ to these tea parties by making cute little hats for everyone to wear

Pats his zanpakuto randomly like you would the head of a dog and whispers “good job” to it, even when it’s not being used

Byakuya Kuchiki: 

The man uses Shunpo instead of walking everywhere. He can’t risk sweating in front of his peers. He’s a noble for God’s sake. 

Pretty sure he has a hand mirror stowed away in a drawer at his desk. He uses it to make sure his kenseikan haven’t slipped out of place. 

Talks to Senbonzakura when he’s trying to figure out a situation “No I can’t do that! Because we can’t just cut down everything. We can’t slice through a bakery just because they were out of our favorite buns.”

Rose Otoribashi:

He hosts a weekly karaoke night with the squad members. Kira unwillingly attends, muttering he’d rather write haikus than sing.

Has a few guitars hanging around the office, and depending on how he’s feeling, a different one will be playing chords. 

Can be heard practicing his vocals when he thinks no one is around (he has a nice voice though, so no one is complaining)

Applauds himself for an encore anytime he gets a task done

Renji Abarai: 

Likes hearing about Gotei 13 gossip. He’ll wander into the break room under the pretense of wanting tea, but he will keep his ears open for anything juicy

Probably readjusts that ponytail 20 times a day because it gives him a headache. Why would he tie it that tight? No one knows. 

Folds origami in his spare time. He may be big, but his hands can fold paper into very delicate creations

Kensei Muguruma:

Secretly afraid of butterflies. He’ll swat one away if it gets too near. Spends his day looking for ways to keep butterflies away. There are no plants near his office or quarters because of this.

Keeps a tube of hair gel ready nearby in case his mohawk starts to fall down

Can’t sleep at night without a weighted blanket. He may be a tough guy, but even he needs some comfort to fall asleep.

Oh boy are you developing feelings for otoribashi Taichou?

“I mean… let’s be honest, shall we? Who wouldn’t? He is a wonderful person, and he is incredibly charming, too, with a good heart in his chest and level head on his shoulders. I appreciate that about him. Plus he has an interesting and fresh way of thinking, yet it’s still somehow traditional. The dynamic inside him, from what I can tell, is complex, and it reminds me of someone else I know in only a couple of ways, but I admire it anyway. I can’t help it. But who knows--? I wouldn’t want to overwhelm him with this. I like it being whatever it may be.”

[unohanadaydreams]

Hello~! May I please request someRose boyfriend headcanons please? I absolutely love the way you write and your blog is such a treat! I hope you’re taking care of yourself and that you’re in good health! Thank you!

Yes!! And thank you so much!! I’m doing great and appreciate your kindness, anon. BLESS YOU. Honestly Rose is such a Vampire™ and I love it.

BF Rose Otoribashi:

He is D E D I C A T E D. He’s a huge romantic that can’t get enough of grand stories of love whether it be through movies, manga, or music, so when he finds love in real life, he’s committed to making your relationship as grand as it can be. Some might find his devotion to showing how much he values you embarrassing, especially since he’s big on public displays of affection, but he knows how fleeting life can be and when he sees a ridiculously beautiful bouquet of flowers, he’s grabbing it and getting on one knee while telling you how much you make his life better. Life is a story and no romance of his is going to fail for lack of attention or trying. Who cares if it’s cliche? It’s timeless for a reason.

He’ll want to bond over the books he holds dear and the music that just speaks to him. And he wants to know about yours! He views art as another way to peer into a soul and he wants you both to know each other that much more. He’ll also want to discover knew art together, to find things that you both can’t separate each other from; to find books, music, ect that are something you share. Also, he really likes to go to the ballet and opera because they’re always dramatic enough (the music just swells in the right way) to make him cry and what’s more romantic than crying together as a dead woman forgives the man she loved for not loving her back.

I think he would get really caught up in trying to be the “perfect” boyfriend, because he views love as really important and who wants to fuck up something they hold in such high regard? It would take him some time to really understand that communication trumps romantic gestures in a lot of situations.

He’s a make out king. A cuddle connoisseur. A hand kissing bandit. He’s no Shinsui when it comes to being forward in public, but he will insist on at least offering an arm or holding your hand while in public, because he’s yours and proud and wants to show off his romance (yes, he’s talking to Hiyori, that bitter little gremlin). Literally, if he could get away with shoving you in someone’s face like a five year old showing off their most favorite, shiny rock, he fucking would. He wants you to feel special, he wants to feel special, and he wants everyone to know how fucking special you both are together.

although the tradition's to wait until white day for men to offer their affections, rose has never really paid it much mind. it's also tradition to give hand-made creations, but the musician's skills don't extend to the culinary arts so he's opted to buy a gift for his intended recipient rather than risk appalling failure. he has, at least, gone to great lengths to find just the right one—travelling to the living world at every opportunity.

but finally, he's found something worthy: a beautiful lotus-shape mooncake made from agar and flavoured with taro and coconut.

rose doesn't leave it for his muse to find, however. instead, he waits to catch izuru in the evening, when he's working alone in the office. he's been watching for the opportunity all afternoon, the gift hidden in an icebox under his desk, and now that he sees it, the artist takes advantage. approaching with the small cake boxed and tied prettily, he smiles in his fondness. "i hope you don't mind that i got you something, kira-kun."

--- He doesn't care much for Valentine's day nowadays. Back when he was a youth, he may have been more romantically oriented, but he's more or less soured on the idea. He is not that old yet, but he feels like a bitter old man, watching his fellow shinigami dole out gifts of chocolates and such to their loved ones. He supposes he could do something for his friends. He even entertained the thought of giving his captain something { if only very briefly }, but found that the thought alone embarrassed him to his core. So he had resolved to just get through the day by doing his job.

It seems his captain had different ideas about it though, which shouldn't surprise Izuru overtly much. From the beginning, he had pegged his captain as a romantic. And given the somewhat confusing but decidedly affectionate few moments they had shared.. Perhaps he should have seen it coming.

Nonetheless, when presented with an actual, physical display of his captain's affection, he is momentarily stunned. He stares at the offered box a moment before taking it in hand. It feels cold.

"I don't have much choice, do I?" He replied reservedly. "It is not as though I can stop you, Otoribashi-san.." He worries his lip, feeling the urge to look around for nosy subordinates as he pulls the ribbon and lets the box fall open to reveal its contents.

It has been a while since he has seen such a beautifully crafted treat. Of course, 'I can't eat this' flashes through his mind afore he can appreciate the gesture. But appreciate it he does, eventually.

"It is beautiful.." He murmurs, his manner subdued as he tries to rebuild the structure of the box. It keeps falling apart again..

He wonders if he is now expected to get his captain something on White day to return the favour.
