Bleach Quick-Fic: After Annihilation

Inspired by @rayshippouuchiha 's various Urahara-focused AUs

*

Urahara, because he has always been the monster in this particular drama, is the one who lays out the ultimatum.

“You all need to stay away from Ichigo.” 

Voices raise in immediate protest, a show of unity between Shinigami, vizard, quincy and empowered humans alike that even a year ago Urahara would have never imagined possible. A better man might have found it touching. Urahara just felt tired.

“His soul is shredded. Any exposure to spiritual pressure at all will destroy it. It might still unravel on its own, if he pushes himself.”

That was - not quite optimism, or an understatement, but it implied Ichigo was a great deal more stable than he actually was. Currently, the boy’s remaining soul was only still united with his body because of the hundred and three kido bindings Urahara had etched on Ichigo’s bones to keep it anchored. A precaution taken the first time Ichigo had gone to soul society, when it became clear that the boy would have to be the weapon they needed.

Urahara wished he could say he regretted it.

"Especially you four," he added, looking at Chad, Orihime, Ishida, and Rukia. "Your spiritual energy is imprinted with Ichigo's signature. With the damage, he's unlikely to notice it isn't his, and if he reaches for it, we'll have a bigger problem.”

“The most likely scenario, he tries to bolster you when you're in danger, which immediately leads to the disintegration of his soul and all of you developing a minor case of spiritually-induced schizophrenia.

"And if we’re all very unlucky, instead Ichigo pulls at your energy reflexively, and tears it out of you along with most of your soul. He undergoes rapid hollowification while still in his body, kills and eats his sisters, and goes on to cannibalize most of Karakura. Soul society is forced to quarantine the area and kill everyone in town to contain the threat."

“I am working on fixing it. But until then, all of you need to keep your distance.”

Designation: Q_1NNC (Quinncy)

He resembles a massive and rotting skeletal Rhus. Standing around one thousand feet tall, and taking approximately several centuries to move his physical body from one end of the first joined systems to the other, this Senti-metal (sentient-metal) is the last of his kind. He prefers to stay in the largest planet... which also happens to have the best view for someone as stationary as he.

Back/story: Q_1NNC is a construction Senti-metal who was connected to the mainframe of a linked communication arm of a galaxy powered by its various stars. Despite being primarily used for construction, he was the only surviving Senti-metal after a devastating magical plague, and thus the only one to be able to keep the planets from shutting down if the Rhus manage to make it back post quarantine.

There are several hundred orbiting masses (though only 8 planets and 176 moons for his broadcasting system) all interconnected with the other via massive tethers and tunnels all overcrowded with machines so dense that many seemed like little more than slums when populated. The foremost planets are primarily filled with generators and solar panels, the middle have the most communities/communications related items, while the outermost is largely for deep memory/object storage. Moons were reserved for housing the richer Rhus, their guests, and anything befitting of their lifestyle

After a few millennia, and despite his best efforts of maintenance, things began to deteriorate or change from outside interference. Primary power storages and major memory core sections have been bombarded over the ages by asteroids and various space debris which eventually caused his paralysis. Many of the outermost planetoids in particular have been completely annihilated, and unfortunately, the deep memory moon of his base code was a part of them.

The resulting surge of power redirecting to him fried his brain and compromised his major movement abilities. Since he is not allowed to shut down while connected to the mainframe (nor shift consciousness to alternate bodies), he is fused to the cables, and stays forever awake and (mostly) unmoving. He learns how to move himself via attaching and reattaching to the more flexible wires and machines, and dragging his body to and fro. The speakers he talks out of sound muffled due to him not being able to open his mouth… and his eyes, unable to close, leak fluid constantly giving him a ghastly crying appearance. He longs for death.

The thing is, if he were to die, the system would as well— his library of knowledge, and treasure trove of technology, would be forever lost. Anyone who shuts him down would be branded as a criminal.

His electronic/communicative reach spans several hundreds of galaxies in length but most know of him already and turn change their frequencies as to not feel guilty in ignoring him. More recently, he plays soft and sad lullabies across the universe itself hoping for someone to finally take pity and end his misery. The sad and lonely souls of the universe have taken to using this as comfort—they journey to thank him for his songs during their darkest hours, and pray that he too will have someone save him for good.

This change in his calls is directly caused by bug-like beings that have taken to calling him their God. When they first arrived, they did not know exactly how large his system was and were lost for months in the labyrinthian underground of the connected planets. After Quincy noticed them, he guided them to his chamber through the vast speaker and camera systems. However, it had been several generations since their initial landing, and the bugs started to believe that it was a God that had saved them due to the echoing and ethereal nature of the voice, not to mention the sheer size of his domain.

When they arrived they hailed him as their savior and formed a religion around their now fuming “god”. It took several decades more for him to give up and accept his role as their savior.

He lets them paint his body.

Yesterday, I implied I was sending a friend something they wanted by saying "Maybe Quarantine Quincy will bring you one", and I decided I liked the idea of a goodwill santa-like being who would help spread joy while we're all housebound, so I just took a pass on what he might look like. I decided to base his look on the plague doctors, but to make him friendly looking and dress him in bright colors. I'm hoping you'll pass him around and make use of him as you will, so feel free to share the picture, draw your own, or just invoke his name where you feel appropriate. I release him out into the world.

I love them so much, I want what they have.

[wolfiethewriter]

okay so watching the bleach live action movie with @catsafarithewriter and the bit where Rukia takes her powers back off Ichigo and her saying this tearful emotional goodbye just... comes and rips our hearts out. Like, she couldn’t give him the proper goodbye she wanted to. She had to act a part for Renji and her brother standing behind her and... just... my heart :(

Also Ichigo, there is nothing wrong with being protected by someone - it just means they care about you. You complete buffoon.

Whats up with all this dracula stuff?

Anon, my friend, my pal, let me explain.

Firstly, I've actually loved Dracula for a couple of years now because I read the novel in quarantine, but the rest of the internet has rediscovered it and is now making enough content that I can reblog my love of Jonathan and Quincy specifically.

The REASON the internet has rediscovered Dracula is because of dracula daily, where you subscribe, and it sends you an excerpt of the novel on certain days. The novel itself is written as a series of (dated) letters, journal entries, and newspaper clippings, so the dates you are sent said excerpts of the book, so you can slowly read dracula kind of "in real time." A very neat concept, you should sign up.

Hi! This is us - right after almost every single one of us had Covid in February one after the other. Happily, we are all out of quarantine now and back to the project. Our next step? Finding interviewees among the most important actors we had identified with Ekwadraat by means of our stakeholder map! To our great advantage, we realized that Quincy pretty much knows everyone related to this topic and showed off his networking skills during our meeting. Next stop: midterm presentation!  (As you might guess from the pictures, this was the first time we met at Jordans gorgeous place and he will probably be our involuntary host for any meetings to come)

**Missed Q as well, so here ya go...**

The Q Survey by joybucket

Are you more often loud or quiet? I’m definitely the quiet one. Do you own a handmade quilt? I do. Do you know what show Quailman is from? Yes. Have you ever been to Quebec? No. Would you want to travel to Quebec if given the chance? I’m not too familiar with Quebec so I don’t know.

Name a book with the word "quest" in the title (if you can think of one). I can’t think of one. Have you spent time in quarantine because of the virus? Not because I had it, but yeah. Have you enjoyed being quarantined, or have you hated it? I was already pretty much doing that anyway. What's a positive quote that you like? I don’t feel like thinking of any right now. Do you live near the equator? No. Do you know anyone named Quincy? Nope. Do you like Quaker oatmeal? Yeah. Have you ever been to a Quaker church? No. When it comes to YouTube videos, do yo prefer quality or quantity? I mean, both is nice. Have you ever been in an earthquake? I’ve experienced a short one once and fortunately it wasn’t bad, but still it was really trippy. Are there earthquakes where you live? Yeah, California actually has a quite a bit. Where I live, however, they’re not common and if anything we might experience some aftershocks, but it’s very rare. Like I said, I’ve only experienced one and it wasn’t a bad one. List ten words that rhyme with "quest." Best, fest, guest, rest, test, unrest, vest, zest, lest, nest. Ask a silly question. Nah. Do you have a Quotes board on Pinterest? Yes. Have you ever written with a quill pen? No. Do you own any q-tips? Yep. List ten words that rhyme with "quack." Back, flack, jack, sack, tack, unpack, pack, rack, yak, slack. Do you enjoy eating quiche? Yesss. I actually have these mini egg, cheese, and spinach ones in the freezer that are really good. Do you fit the status quo? It would seem that way when it comes to my life and stuff I’m dealing with cause I’m not really doing anything to change it. I’m not happy with myself or how things are going, but I just feel so lost, confused, unmotivated, and severely lacking the energy to do anything. I don’t know where to even begin.

List five words the word "queen" makes you think of. Royalty, crown, wealth, prestige, power. Do you like the word "equinox"? Sure. List five things you associate with the word "aqua." Water, blue, the ocean, the beach, refreshing. Which girl's name do you like better: Aquila, Quincy, Quinn, Aqua, or Queen? Quinn.

[gyoza-man]

My dear friend, the very talented Chandra Free, offers her take on Quarantine Quincy!

[citizensmth]

So... what comes next?

Regardless of your political allegiances or personal feelings about Donald Trump, it is a national security concern when the president is ill. To make matters worse, the White House isn’t exactly being transparent. At times they seem more concerned with projecting a certain image than providing a timely, precise assessment of the situation. It is also a significant national security threat when a huge chunk of the senior Executive Branch, unknown numbers of White House staff, and a growing cluster of US Congressman are under quarantine or sick. It’s never good to have a government in quarantine. 

So on that note, I’ve seen a lot of discussion on what happens in the event that a President or presidential candidate is incapacitated from COVID or dies during an election. I love a good thought experiment so let’s break this down. This is all based on my best understanding of current rules/regulations/precedence/ect. I try my best to be accurate but I’m only human and not a lawyer. Opinions and speculations are strictly my own. 

Scenario 1: President is alive but incapacitated or unable to continue serving as President until he recovers.

So the basic idea of having a VP as a spare in case the president dies is pretty simple. In practice however, the transfer of power in the original constitution is pretty vague outside of the president suddenly dropping dead in the middle of a term. The 25th amendment was adopted a few years after the Kennedy assassination to address some of these grey areas. Fun fact, the 25th amendment contains the only means of forcefully removing a president from office other than impeachment (section 4 of the 25th amendment).

Ok, so back to our scenario. If Trump is incapacitated (say, on a ventilator) or is too unwell to continue serving, the 25th amendment can be invoked to temporarily transfer power to Vice President Pence. This can be done 2 ways. First, Trump can declare in writing that he is unable to discharge his duties (section 3, 25th amendment) and transfer power temporarily to Pence. Presidents actually invoke section 3 pretty routinely if they know they will be unavailable for a time such as undergoing a medical procedure. Trump remains in office as president but Pence becomes ‘acting president’ for the time being. Second, the Cabinet can strip Trump of his power if they believe he is unfit but he refuses to turn over power to Pence (section 4, 25th amendment). Section 4 has never before been invoked but it exists as an option. 

In terms of the election, the ticket would be unchanged. A vote for Trump-Pence is still a vote for Trump-Pence. Trump is still president and Pence is only a temporary ‘acting president’. The assumption is that Trump would eventually resume his duties and his place at the top of the Republican ticket.

Scenario 2: A president running for re-election dies before the election

So if Trump dies before the election, Pence would immediately be sworn in as President. Since that would then make him the sitting president during an election year, precedence says he is automatically the GOP nominee. This close to the election, it is too late to officially withdraw a candidate and re-submit another one. Even if you could still replace a candidate, there isn’t time to re-print ballots. But since he was part of the original ticket on the ballot, I don’t see this being an issue or a source of confusion. I imagine votes already cast for Trump-Pence will simply count towards Pence alone. It is unclear how this will impact the electoral college. Likely, the votes will be allocated as normal to the Trump-Pence ticket, with Pence officially becoming President elect instead of Vice President elect once the vote is certified. The Speaker of the House is next in line should something happen to him while he does not have a VP. Assuming he wins, I speculate he would vet and select a VP for his administration before inauguration. But until there is a VP to serve under him, Speaker of the House remains next in line. A presidential candidate has never died so close to an election. 

Scenario 3: A presidential candidate dies before the election

If a candidate dies after the primary, I believe RNC and DNC rules state that the leadership meets to vote on a replacement. However, this close to an election, it  is past the deadline to officially withdraw a candidate from the ballot and re-submit another candidate. Even if that were not the case, it is too late to-reprint ballots. My best guess is that the VP pick would become the top of the ticket, similar to scenario 2. This seems like the easiest thing to do. It does not require withdrawing the ticket and it minimizes confusion at the polls. It is unclear if this would create headaches for the electoral collage. I imagine electoral college votes would likely go to a Biden-Harris ticket as normal with Harris officially becoming President elect instead of Vice President elect once the vote is certified. In Congress there is also the practice of ‘widow’s succession’ where a spouse steps up to fill the void left by a Congressman’s death until the next election or until a special election can be held. This practice was actually pretty common in the early 20th century. Senators can be replaced by a Governor’s appointment, a president can be replaced by a VP. But Congressmen, who serve short 2 year terms, have no replacement strategy so widows succession made some amount of sense to prevent political infighting and ensure a smooth transition after a death. I highly doubt widow’s succession will ever be invoked or even suggested if something happens to Biden, especially with such a capable VP pick ready and able to step up on the ticket. 

Scenario 4: A candidate dies after the election but before electoral college meets and the vote is certified

This scenario creates the most headaches. The rules are most murky during this scenario and things will likely get very, very messy. Elections are run by individual states and states have different rules impacting how electoral college votes must be allocated. At present, some states require that electors vote for the candidate that won the popular vote in that state. Some states don’t explicitly bind electors to the winner of the state popular vote but impose penalties on so called ‘faithless electors’. Some states have no laws on the books and voting for the winner of the state popular vote is merely precedence. In general faithless electors are not very common. There actually HAS been a candidate death between Election Day and the electoral college. In 1872, Democrat Horace Greeley (ran against President Grant) died before the electoral college met. 63 of his 66 electors voted for other people. Unfortunately, things are not as simple in 2020 as they were in 1872. There is a question about whether or not certain electors will be unbound if the candidates to which they are pledged dies before the collage meets. The courts will almost certainly have to get involved and possibly the House of Representatives. The 20th amendment of the Constitution mandates that a president MUST begin their term on January 20 and if the electoral collage remains inconclusive, the Constitution (via the 12th amendment I believe) leaves it up to the House of Representative to hold a contingent election and vote on a winner (I think the Senate votes on a VP). The House HAS previously decided an election. In 1824, neither John Quincy Adams nor Andrew Jackson secured a majority of the electoral college (there were 4 candidates that year). The matter went to the House which voted for Adams to become President. Should the election end up in the House of Representatives, the Democrats have the majority. Since someone MUST be seated as President on inauguration day (Jan 20), I am not 100% sure what happens if the election remains a total mess and the House is hopelessly deadlocked. I think under the 20th amendment, the Vice President elect becomes acting President until the matter is resolved. If there is no Vice President elect, then the Presidential Succession Act states the Speaker of the House becomes acting president. 

Scenario 5: President-elect dies before inauguration but after the election is certified. 

This one is actually pretty easy. In this scenario, the Vice President elect becomes the president elect and is sworn in on inauguration day. This is covered by the 20th amendment. 

Whew! Well, that was quite a thought experiment. If I write any more it will be the beginnings of a book. That ends my civics discussion for the day.

The easiest adjustment has been to catch up with everything. For example, to see the great documentaries that I missed, whether it was Taylor Swift’s Miss Americana or my dear friend Quincy Jones’ documentary or the classic The Kid Stays in the Picture about Robert Evans.
