#Memories of nobody

[recurring-polynya]

I am absolutely in love with this lil tag-in maneuver Rukia does with Chappy to get back into her gigai in Memories of Nobody.

im kinda impressed actually at how quickly bleach: diamond dust rebellion is pissing me off [decided to see if bleaches movies had anything goin for em].

like, memories of nobody was wonky but it had a vision. it had heart. it had some degree of care put into its construction.

diamond dust rebellion immediately lays on the flimsy fucking ground work from the get go, enough so that i seriously doubt its going to improve much.

Sooooo, I learned how to manually pose my character in 14, and I just HAD to recreate this scene.

...I don't have a problem, I swear!

I’m actually blown away by Nikke’s storytelling. It presents itself as an ecchi waifu-gacha aimed at taking your money in exchange for sexy .jpegs and in practice that’s what it is but-

Some themes explored in the first 13 chapters:

>are we still us without our memories

>orienting oneself upon a moral compass

>self sacrifice to protect friends/family

>mourning those who aren’t dead yet, but have been changed beyond recognition

>civil rights (enslaving android-women is wrong and bad)

No one asked but I'm gonna rank Bleach movies cuz I'm bored and my mind is stuck on this for some reason. This is all very much my opinion.

(Warning: Spoilers Ahead)

1. Movie 3: Fade to Black. This is my favorite movie and has the most re-watch-ability I think. Not only does it straightbait (jk okay but this is just my way of saying I LOVE when m/f characters have deep platonic bonds. Hell yeah). But it also has the most emotional impact of all the movies imo. I cry at the end. We feel bad for the "villains". The hollowfied twins who cared so much for Rukia. Their powers are iffy in context but everything else is nice. The story parallels the Soul Society arc in the show without just repeating itself. Also getting to see post Turn Back the Pendulum Kisuke get a role is nice. I don't really have any complaints with the movie except maybe the whole reishi thing, like huh? The story outweighs the wonkiness of the things that happen tho. But that's if I have to nitpick.

2. Movie 1: Memories of Nobody. This movie has a solid plot and some interesting world building (like Valley of Screams). Loses points for being the average damsel in distress (which I guess movie 3 could fall into that category but at least it wasn't average) and boring villains. Senna is pretty likeable as a character overall but also I dont really get that attached to her. Not much to say about this movie otherwise.

3. Movie 4: Hellverse. Ugh. Honestly theres like two things I liked about this movie. The opening credits scene. And the hollowfied Ichigo. Everything else is BORING. How they made a boring hell movie is kinda baffling. Again we got damsel in distress (Yuzu) and a very predictable betrayal from Kokuto. The movie is okay to watch once because you don't realize how unrewarding it is when Ichigo "loses control". You can pretty much sleep through the first half of the movie ngl. Hell shouldn't be boring. 😬 Again the villains suck and the ending made 0 sense.

4. Movie 2: Diamond Dust Rebellion. Okay. First off, if I was a huge Toshiro fan I might rank this higher. I like him enough, but he probably isn't even in my top ten faves. That said my biggest complaint is the absolute nonsensical story. The whole uh...whatever the fuck it's called. The thing the villain is after. Makes no sense. The reason for the villain makes no sense. Yin and Yang arrancars make no sense. Two Hyorinmarus??? What is going on??? I actually don't feel like this movie has any re-watch-ability. I can only think of one decent scene and it was the one where Ichigo recounted his family processing his mom's death together. I do like Kenpachi happily running at a giant ice dragon too. Otherwise what is the point of this movie??? At least it damsel-in-distressed a non female character I guess.

Aqua Timez - Sen no Yoru wo Koete / THE FIRST TAKE

Anyone here remember the first Bleach movie? 

[phleb0tomist]

tumblr users will have the most inaccessible, unreadable, low contrast, flashing carrd you can possibly imagine, with a dni full of insider acronyms with no translation and numerous link buttons labelled with cryptic captions, and then go ahead and put “ableists dni and kys!” on that carrd

My mind keeps singing somber melodies

Tears sway through the tune

With the desire to sink into apathy

To set myself free from this excruciating wound

[bacchuschucklefuck]

they tried to rebrand as The Criminals but riz is literally the city council's treasurer and also turns out people in their late 20s don't really name their friend groups. so now they're The Intrepid Heroes

KIM KITSURAGI - “Is that. My kineema.”

COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] - Something in him is about to break, *big time*.

EMPATHY - And it’s not going to be pretty, do something!

- DRAMA [Formidable] - Everything is fine!

- “Sure is.”

DRAMA [Formidable: Failure] - Surely he’s aware that he’s not the *only* person in the world who owns a Kineema?

YOU - “Is it really *yours*? I mean, plenty of people have their own Kineemas, right? Like working men, government offices, uh, firefighters I guess, maybe even animal control people? Exactly! A million different people who could’ve driven it into the uh…”

DRAMA - Pause, my liege! Ixnay on the Ineemakay!

YOU - “It could even be our *mysterious* joyrider!”

KIM KITSURAGI - Your frenzied babbling falls deaf to the lieutenant's ears. Instead, he approaches the broken vehicle, sunken in the ice. He moves with a caution and gentleness you haven’t seen him display before.

INLAND EMPIRE - It must be cold and lonely down there, in the icy water. Maybe he could sense its sorrow, calling to him…

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Easy: Success] - His hands, which are always stiffly placed behind his back, are trembling.

ENDURANCE - This is the shuffle of a tired, tired man.

HALF LIGHT - He’s going to do something drastic because of you. Oh god, terrible! You’re a terrible liar! You can’t look at this, you just can’t!

VOLITION [Formidable: Success] - It's not *you* who drove his kineema into the sea. You have plenty of faults, but this one is decidedly not yours.

KIM KITSURAGI - He kneels down with his head bowed, casting his face in shadow. He plants a hand on the ice to stabilize himself, squinting to get a better view of the motor carriage. “Detective, it says ‘57’ on it.”

YOU - Sweat drips down your brow, and you feel a terrible headache coming. “Maybe our joyrider has an affinity for that number?”

LOGIC - He's not stupid, he knows that it's not that.

KIM KITSURAGI - “57.”

YOU - “What about 57?”, you brace yourself.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Precinct 57.”

YOU - You wince. “Kim, look-”

KIM KITSURAGI - “When I woke up in the Whirling-in-Rags with no memory of what happened during the days before, I've taken note that something of mine has gone missing.” He grits his teeth. "A very. Important. Something."

He runs his hands over his face, messing his already unkempt hair in the process. Regret creeps up on his features. “God. Fuck. They’re going to fire me over this, they’re not going to hear me out.”

EMPATHY - Desperation settles in the lieutenant's tone. Sadly, you find yourself in agreement, even if you don’t want it to be the truth.

YOU - “People are more valuable than machines, Kim.”

KIM KITSURAGI - “Not people like me.” He rasps.

YOU - “…”

KIM KITSURAGI - Before you can say anything more, you fail to notice the lieutenant carefully walking onto the edge of the ice. He looks over the frigid water, a dizzying blue that mirrors and distorts his exhausted face back to him.

YOU - “Kim?”

KIM KITSURAGI - Seconds pass as he looks to be contemplating something. Out of nowhere, he casually takes another step where the ice ends and the sea begins. It happens all too quick for the lieutenant to even voice a call for help— if he even wanted to — his body plunging into the cold water before your eyes.

YOU - “KIM!!!!”

uhhh bonus stuff? sorry i have swap au brainworms pfttt

(im not sure what skills kim has at the moment so rn he only has narration as his inner monologue ok whoops, i would like to keep harry as the guy who thinks in dialogue trees so im still figuring it out pfttt)
