🐇 Bunny AU🥚 ~

Smutty sort of drabble, sort of headcanon rambling about the AU below💕 See the full uncensored art here~

Edit: had to make the berries biggER lmao is thIS BETTER MR TUMBLR?

In this AU Easter is handled by a species of humanoid rabbits who lay eggs (and a few subspecies I'll mention later on). Each generation a kit is born within the noble families with the ability to lay Easter eggs. (Normally, only pregnant bunnies lay one or two larger eggs.) This kit, then, is taught everything they need to know to inherit the job after the current Easter Bunny passes.

Grimmjow is one of the youngest to have inherited the job, but he is damn good at it, if you ask him. He has little complaints, really. Apart from laying a large clutch of smaller pastel colored eggs every month (which, ok, that can be a little tiring), his work is only actually hard in April; the rest of the year, he gets to have as much fun as he wants. Sure, the guards, and maids, and all the other servants (that the Oh So Wise Elders think he has to be babied by) fuss over him a bit too much, and follow him around a lot; and that gets annoying from time to time, but it still has its perks. Like, choosing his own personal guard himself.

His father wasn't so sure about his pick, but what could he do but accept The Easter Bunny's wishes? Ichigo was a rookie, and, as all guards, part of the subspecies of rabbits called 'Chocolate Bunnies'. Grimmjow thought it was a corny name at first, when he was a kid. But after years of being the only kit being tutored within the rooms of the Easter castle, and having the opportunity to watch the guards up close, he had to agree that it was actually pretty straightforward. All guards were chocolate bunnies. They always smelled like chocolate, and their fur was always warm toned; in colors that varied from off-white to dark brown. The reason he chose Ichigo, though, was simple: he wanted to have fun with him.

He got to attend the guards' initiation ceremonies (he had to attend ALL important ceremonies, really), which is where he saw him for the first time. It was a small event, pretty boring. He would've bailed, like he did most times; but once he saw the newbie he had to stay and learn his name. Now that he had him, he knew he'd made the right choice. Ichigo smells of the darkest melted chocolate, and his skin is warm all over. He has that newbie attitude still, a little too loud but worried to do the wrong thing. He was blushing the brightest red when his superior brought him to his office; asked twice or thrice if they were sure they had the right guy.

Ichigo’s first impression of Grimmjow was... that he's not what he expected. The Easter Bunny looked proper, composed, handsome and just overall cool from afar. He always dressed nice as it was customary. But from up close, Ichigo could really see how young he was; maybe his own age, or barely a couple years older than him at most. As close as he could stand now, inside his office, while he watched him work, he looked as serious as you’d expect the Big Boss to be; the second he removed himself from work though? He smirked cockily, and played around too much. 

He liked lighter clothing, comfortable shorts and soft fabrics he used to lounge around his room. Which he isn’t supposed to be in, as a guard, but of course Grimmjow had insisted he do so. He couldn’t say no. What he seemed to enjoy the most, however, was to mess with his job. Ichigo wasn’t sure if it was a test of sorts, challenging his determination see how long he could keep his head cool. As time went on, he wasn’t so sure anymore. Sometimes the taller bunny would stand too close (not that that bothered him anymore), and he’d whisper into his ear. Even after a month of being his guard, that still never failed to send chills down his spine. And worst was, he’d whisper things he’d never expected from him; he’d make fun of the other nobles, how uptight they were how ridiculously they’d dress for appearances sake. He’d tell him gossip he’d learned about them, and often it was hard not to break and laugh.

It wasn’t all bad though, he didn’t hate his job as much as he thought he would when it all started. He realizes now that maybe he took it too seriously, and probably that’s what had Grimmjow so amused. Back then Ichigo had tried to take his job with honor, be the best guard he could be for him; but Grimm made it very hard. He had to escort him places sometimes, when he was needed, and Grimm would always try and bail. Sometimes going as far as to try and take him with. Grimmjow wouldn’t be punished, of course, no more than a quick talk with the Elders, but him? Ichigo could lose his post all together.

Grimm only grinned mischivious little smiles at him. He used to get pissed off every time, try his best to convince Grimmjow not to bail, take his job seriously...it never worked, of course. Ichigo only let go of that seriousness a little after the second week on his post. Grimmjow was in his room, napping and swollen with eggs as he was every so often. In those days he didn’t leave his room much, so he’d never seen him pregnant before he became his guard. It was a whole new part of him. He seemed sleepy all day, a little grouchy maybe. He was standing there with him, inside his room as he so much insisted he did.

“Com’ere, I don’t bite.”

Maybe not, but standing in his room was too much already, he shouldn’t be getting so chummy with his Boss. Grimmjow wouldn’t take no for an answer, of course; stood up slowly and stumbled a little. When Ichigo caught him though, and his face was so close to his own; Grimmjow was smirking like a cat. Played again. How he ended up sitting on his bed and with Grimm’s head on his lap, he wasn’t sure. 

Grimmjow didn’t seem like he was playing anymore though. He seemed to sleep, but soon enough his voice startled him again. “Stay with me, will you? When I’m... like this? No one gets close to me on these days, like I’d break.”

Huh...

“They don’t even care about me, only about what I can do.” 

It cleared up a lot of things for Ichigo. So he let go of some of that seriousness he’d been taught to earn his title of noble guard, put on some more empathy for Grimmjow’s sake. He still played him, after that; as was expected. Still teased him and made him lose his cool in public for his own amusement... and he still got a little pissed of at him. Grimmjow liked to pretend that he’d never opened up to him. But he could work with that, for as long as Grimm needed.

He's lost count of how long he’s been his guard now. They’ve fallen into a comfortable maybe-friendship, and he knew pretty much all he had to about Grimmjow and his job and how to be the best guard for his needs. He’d learned how to convince him to attend the meetings he’d usually bail out of. He knew all his secret hide-outs where to find him at whenever he did run away. But most importantly, he’d gotten really good at reading him; at knowing when he needed peace and quiet, when he wanted someone to scream at just for the sake of screaming. It was only natural that he’d become so attached to him, and before he realized, Grimm’s skin on his shocked him every time and his eyes filled him with warmth. But that was a line he couldn’t cross.

It was especially hard to stop when Grimmjow became even more bold; touched his neck, played with his hair just to see him blush. He knew. He had to know.

“Who cares?” Fuck, Grimmjow was as unfazed as he always was. “I want you, and you clearly want me too.” 

He shouldn’t have. He shouldn’t have given in. But how could he not? When Grimmjow called for him and received him sitting by his window, bathed by the warmth of the morning sun, in nothing but a thin shirt. When he held him tight and was rough and assertive about what he wanted. He’d laughed again, at the heat in his face and neck and ears; teasing him until he pushed him back into his bed. Grimmjow smirked that childish smile of his, that he always wore when he got his way. He held his waist, and his thighs and pinched his chest and let Grimm scratch and bite and pull at his hair as much as he wanted.

He couldn’t even be worried about his superior, or Grimmjow’s father finding out, or even the Elders; when he laid naked in his bed with Grimm in his arms. Fast asleep. After hearing him moan, and pant and scream. And pretty much every day after that, whenever Grimmjow felt like it, when he had time off work, and even when he didn’t but he wanted to get away. Grimm even made him scream and cry out a couple times as he rode and teased him; those times always made him worry someone would definitely hear him. Grimmjow only continued to cause problems for him; but he really didn’t mind.  If he could continue to hold him, and see every part of him, then he’d take whatever problems that came with it.

I decided to watch a bit of the new Bleach anime as a "might as well" type deal. I got like 10 minutes in before I closed it and was like "I am not getting back into Bleach".

So then I reread Bleach over the past few days.

It holds up pretty well. I was a bit surprised at how just being able to hit "next chapter" on a cliffhanger really takes the edge off a lot of the more meandering and frustrating parts. The first half was still pretty great. The more iconic fights are still absolutely bangers (Grimmjow and Ulquiorra in particular), a lot of the plot is less ass-pull than "huh, actually, that kinda makes sense if you think about it" because you just read the ~context like an hour ago as opposed to a year. The emotional beats are still decently impactful. Also, watching Kubo's art improve over a 15 year period in a couple days was fascinating. I enjoyed myself.

The main takeaway though, what I actually got from the whole thing:

This one?

Still Best Girl. It's not close. Teenage me was right and I still Absolutely Would The Antelope.

Adult Nel has like 100 panels total screentime but it doesn't matter, bro. Someone mentions Bleach and I think of Ichigo first but .0002 seconds later it's the 3 on Nel's back. I got to the point in the Hollow World arc where her kid form shows up with her dumbass servants and was just kind of vibrating waiting for The Thing

to happen. This is AFTER Ulquiorra nearly kills Ichigo (effortlessly) and sends him into complete despair by showing he's only #4, and being pushed to his absolute limit by #6 who was actually playing fair and being amicable. It was obvious she was a bit more important than just Random Child simply because she was an arrancar but #3? Even after the (ostensible) power increase of the 10 from her time it was a wild jump

The past visions of her being arrogant and superior to the weak ass misogynistic loser Nnotria (along with that arrogance being her downfall because she refused to take him seriously on principle - him working with Szayelaporro was Entirely out of her scope of what he was willing or able to do). The instant mood swings from cold and in control to Ichigo Must Be Tackle Hugged. Her absolutely dunking on present-day Nnoitra is still legendary despite the outcome because she was weakened from the get-go and if she'd been slightly more ruthless to what she still saw as a weakling she'd have ended it before her time ran out

Then 380 chapters later she finally reappears and is just her usual goofy affectionate self with a side of casually Asserting Dominance on Grimmjow for telling her what to do. Queen shit. Deserved so much more spotlight.

The funny part is Kubo seems to agree. Apparently he's spent the post manga years simping for her, making her co-ruler of the hollows with Harribel despite the latter being the top dog previously (and implicitly stating if Grimmjow fucked around he'd find out), making her super important to the politics of the setting by being the one the shinigami want to use to make a peace deal with the hollows, and even giving an alt of her a second stage of her Resurrección (that fucks)

Buddy even retroactively declared her the curviest woman in the series over Rangiku and says his swimsuit alts of her in Brave Soul are the greatest swimsuit art to exist.

... He might not even have been using marketing hyperbole.

[sunflowersandcherryblossoms]

I'm still waiting for a rational explanation for this specific part as the episode was wrapping up...

... What was the reason for Byakuya to stop as he was discussing whatever with Seike, (the elderly servant) to turn exactly as Ichigo was crossing the Senkaimon to go back to Karakura?

This is why the Lost Agent Arc has my Byaichi heart in a fucking chokehold!

There's soooo much...

Being warned that Ichigo had arrived in the Soul Society... Anime and Manga versions.

People claimed Aspros is merely cheap copy of Saga.

nah, they are different fundamentally, despite some elements . Degel also have events that mirror Hyoga but no one says he^s hyoga copy( even in writing) how I respect fate fandom for never mistaking nero claudius for altria pendragon, coomers they are. the amount aspros got mistaken for saga? disgusting.

Saga defines himself as a public/athena's servant, and his mental issues from his insecurity of his inability to kill his emotions to be a dutiful knight and NOT be his own person,.as if for him, to be himself is a sin, and we know it is imposible to un-person yourself, so he breaks. And he didn't learn better from that, considering what we see in both episode g and saintia sho.

Aspros defines himself as " big brother" , that is, both the good and the bad of being firstborn coded, at first, he was the knightly kind of big brother, think of ichigo kurosaki's quote " big brothers born first to protect the younger ones who born later" which is what base Aspros live for, he lived to protect Defteros. He already has his doubts before Youma corrupted him, that is, once Defteros grow stronger, he ask himself , " if Defteros become stronger, that he can protect himself, will I still be needed? what would become of my identity? " Then after Youma corrupted him he become the negative kind of big brother, that is, the entitled/ bully one, who thinks " i am born first so it's natural if I own you/ stronger than you" .but point is, no matter how Youma tried to corrupt him, from "good" to "evil", Aspros will continue to identify himself as the "big brother". Youma couldn't take out the firstborn identity from Aspros, led him to think he's only child coded, nope, he is firstborn coded first before anything else, even before he' the Gemini Saint, before he's human even.

Even if he's not corrupted , Aspros will want power not for the heck of it, but as means to protect Defteros, that he even spelled it " I will be strong for both of us so no one can mistreat you ever again" .

Defteros may not be some kind of little sister younger than 17 and smaller than 160 cm,( he's 27 yo who is 190 cm instead) but it doesn't change the idea he has vibe similar to those little girls, that is, adored big brother, and with cunning big brothers who is willing to get their hands dirty, or even destroy the ugly world so little sister can stay " pure" in a gilded cage, isolated from the ugliness of the world. ( think lelouch or ayato) . while Shun is " damsel little sibling" , Defteros is " ISOLATED damsel little sibling " ( think rapunzel). Think Akio Ohtori or Kaname Kuran. Aspros is THOSE kind of big brothers, yes, THAT implication included.

Sure, later he learned power is not what he, or Defteros wanted, Defteros reminded him what they truly wanted, isolated from the world, away from prejudiced people.

Just like Aspros strongly identify himself as the firstborn, Defteros also strongly identify himself as the secondborn, even after Aspros's death, along with the obedience of the secondborn to the older one.

To be fair, he strongly believed they will be reunited so he prepare everything for Aspros's return, ( ironically of all people he parallels Hypnos here, but that's another discussion for later) Lost in translation, but Defteros only refer to the corrupted Aspros by name, he consistently talked about the original Aspros whom he loved and loved him back by brother, not by name. It also goes both ways with Aspros, once he got corrupted, he refer to Defteros by name, not calling him brother.

If he want to, Defteros could've claimed the Gemini seat proper, let him be known for it. If he want to. The thing is, he does not want to, continue to identify himself as the second, continue to pretend as the demon of kanon island, not letting people know he's the gemini saint, even developing memory erasing skill because he wanted to return the Gemini seat/cloth to Aspros.

Kanon is an afterthought, as Kurumada meant to display the duality of gemini with Saga alone, with his split personality, when Aspros is written with Defteros as complementing contrast. Academical intelligence and emotional intelligence. The beautiful snow white' evil queen who did not get what she wants and the dirty cinderella who got the respect she deserved at the end, despite the initial short time to be princess . the metaphorical rose thorns who is looking for the best soil to support it and the literal lava who cools down into fertile soil for the rose to grow on, knight who have seen the world vs isolated damsel, the explicitly sexy shirtless defteros and aspros's sensual, lowkey effeminate body language, etc..

To further emphasize the way they are mutually influenced by each other, they both met another set of siblings in their gaidens. Power hungry Ursula who killed her own father, and the brainwashed but once loving Kokkalo are both parallels to Aspros, when the timid, yet surprisingly powerful Chris, who refused the call, rejecting everything she could get had she accepted her role as the Cetus Specter-immortality, power of both combat and social influence, that all she wanted is to get along with Ursula, to forgive her and loved her always, and the insanely devoted Ema, who would throw away his own life for Kokkalo, yearning for the Kokkalo in his memory, is another parallel to Defteros. The way Chris says she wants nothing but to mend her relationship with Ursula? Aspros know Defteros have the same sentiment. And in his eyes, Defteros is as small , frail and timid as Chris. In turn, Defteros always know Ema's insane devotion is what himself would've done , but like Ema, Defteros knows better it's not the real Aspros, that there is another force that controlled his brother that he could destory, to save his big brother from. The parallels are to let them say what they would say to each other with all the projection, without actually saying it to the real person.

Saga and Kanon both mind their own business, when aspros and defteros actively stalks each other,

manipulates others in order to reach each other (other than entirety of defteros gaiden happens because of Aspros, remember that Defteros did this to Dohko in mainline LC) Defteros ultimately is the better one on one manipulator, and selfish he was, unlike kanon, his goal is much less destructive and grandiose , that he would minimize damage if he can.

and are defined by each other, molded, defined, and motivated by each other, and they are happy by that, to stick with each other, that ant the end, they are together and that's what they wanted. Saga and Kanon both wanted to change the world and that's exactly why they don't get it, Aspros/Defteros only want each other and that's why they get it, even if after they're both dead.

Both are also showing disdain to Sisyphus' decision to fight for the people of the future. Aspros calling Sisyphus useless to his face, when Defteros backtalks him at his very death . Like saying "this is what you get for fighting for the insignifact weaklings instead of your family, you fool! not even goldies can save everyone, so focus to your inner circle!". Sisyphus was once greatly adored Ilias like Defteros did, the difference is that eventually Sisyphus let gof of Ilias when Defteros continue to cling to Aspros. And that's unfathomable to the twins, with how mutually obsessed they are to each other, the idea of giving up your brother is incomprehensible to them . It's as if Sisyphus had hanahaki for Ilias, the twins would rather see him die because of it, not because they hate him they wanted him to die, but they wanted him to cling to Ilias they way they did to each other. The way Sisyphus isn't as obsessed as them, the way Sisyphus is willing to let go of Ilias, is seen as a form of stupidity or something repulsive to the twins.

Hasgard and Sisyphus both consider Aspros their inner circle, but Aspros was the one who rejects them. He refuse to understand the strength of the bond between Hasgard and his kids are genuine without blood ties, as much he refuses to accept why Sisyphus let Ilias go.

They're already that apathetic even as children, mind you.

Aspros make it clear he'd throw people under the bus for Defteros, he HAS to be a gold saint proper to get the power he needs to protecr Defteros and willing to do so at the cost of innocent lives since he's prepubescent boy. He expects Sisyphus to have the same obedience and passiveness Defteros had, and it pisses him so Sisyphus doesn't have it.

Another good thing that other than he's determined, that forget losing limbs, even death won't stop him, unlike saga who is suicidal and give in to his weakest moment and have a lot of angsting . Aspros also is a hard worker , a perfectionist, and looking down on those who are not.

Aspros/Defteros are the Gemini twins with the most blatant physical differences, not only there's the skin tone, but also, Defteros is larger (190 cm/90kg when Aspros is 188 cm/83 kg)

yet, they are the one who keep saying they are each other's mirror images, other halves of one full being. Aspros did think so at first, saying they are one,

but then after being corrupted, his mind was thinking he's the "original" when Defteros is his "replica", two separate beings, made separately, when Defteros thinks they're two halves of one entity instead. Clearly, the narrative shows Defteros is the one proved right with that. Aspros literally means white. And Defteros' technique literally is BLACK eruption. I was thinking of Pokemon Black White here, but inverted. Aspros is the ideal that with enough hard work, they can finally be together undisturbed, Defteros is the bitter truth that only beyond the grave they can be together.

When zodiacs is compared/ connected with tarot, Gemini corresponds with The Lovers. Aspros/ Defteros are written with this fact in mind, that they display both upright and reversed meaning of the card. The upright meaning is mutual love, harmony, correct choices, trials overcomed, values aligned, soulmates/unions, deep trust. reversed meanings is disharmony, misaligned values, bad choices resulted from recklessness and indecisiveness alike, conflict, detachment, distrust,

At first, they truly care about each other, trusting each other, with mutual goal of overcoming the idea of gemini cannot be together. Then Aspros is corrupted and changed his values, his views, and growing more detached . Defteros knows something is wrong , he keeps distrusting Aspros even if lowkey. As Asmita puts it, things happened not only because Aspros is too impatient and reckless , but also because Defteros is too indecisive to stop him. After Asmita's calls out, Defteros realizes that he is Aspros' demsel no longer and it's time for him to act, that is, to be the one who saved Aspros after Aspros saved him in the years before. he's literally that "i can fix him " character stereotype towards Aspros. Except he actually succeed. Then after their fight they literally become one, and Aspros gloating they really are soulmates.

Look at these images to see how suggestive they are/how bad they desire each other. ( in case it's not clear, Aspros is stepping on Defteros's head here, effectively pegging him, as you can see Awakening repeat the scene without the sitting part but you get it )

tldr: Saga would die for the world itself. Aspros , even in his best day, would destroy the world so that people can not shittalk defteros anymore. alternatively, you can talk about saga without kanon but you can't talk about aspros without defteros

also you when reading this essay probably:

[tumblrhalix]

Question 606 from Klub Outside is an interesting one, because it can give a glimpse of the years of separation of Rukia and Renji, and of how Rukia dealt with the situation.

Because, Byakuya has called Renji "Renji" since the start of the manga, this is when they arrived at Karakura to capture Rukia. This is before Renji and Rukia's reconciliation, so, why did Byakuya know that Rukia called Renji "Renji"? This implies that Rukia often talked about Renji. It should be often because, that Byakuya decided to call Renji by his first name implies that Byakuya had gotten so used to hearing about him that he already felt Renji as someone familiar, so it was just natural for Byakuya to call him simply "Renji". Or Byakuya saw something else in the way that Rukia talked about Renji. Because Rukia calls Ichigo "Ichigo" too, and Byakuya still calls him by his full name or simply "Kurosaki", even although he has come to appreciate him. So something must have noticed Byakuya that impelled him to call Renji by his first name.

I don't know if Byakuya and Rukia talked much between them about Renji, because they had a distant relationship that it made the communication between them difficult. Maybe Byakuya sometimes asked Rukia some things about her past, and then here she talked about her friends and the person who was with her at the academy. But also, with his indirect methods to worry about Rukia, perhaps Byakuya asked other people that Rukia talked to, maids and servants, or her division members, about what she would tell them. Even maybe Byakuya was sometimes secretly listening to some Rukia's conversations, lol. I've also read some theories that maybe Rukia said Renji's name in her dreams.

Another possibility is that during those years of separation, despite they avoided each other's paths, Renji and Rukia met sometimes when Byakuya was accompanying her, and they acted very awkwardly while Byakuya raised an eyebrow, and then Byakuya would ask Rukia about that guy.

Through all of this it's probable that Byakuya realized of the importance of Renji for Rukia, and I even bet he guessed the type of importance. Because I had always especulated that Byakuya had chosen Renji as his vice-captain because he wanted to know more of him because he knew of Renji and Rukia's past relationship, and this new answer from Kubo almost makes me sure of it. Because I doubt that Byakuya would choose someone like Renji, from the 11th division, not the type of shinigami that he would prefer to have next to him, if not for an ulterior motive.

I'd like some manga panels about this matter.

[WIP]

“Just let me protect you!”

It takes place in karakura town at night as a young divine miko (servant of the gods) by the name of Kagome Higurashi, walked away from the substitute soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki, after nearly getting eaten by a hollow (a monstrous soul-eating spirit that results when a deceased soul is consumed by negative emotions or is forcibly converted by other hollows.).

“Kagome!”

Yelled the orange headed male as he turned and noticed kagome walking away from him.

Kagome flinched before wiping her tears away to hide the sorrow and pain from when she and Ichigo argued yesterday before she halted on walking any farther, but did not turn to look at Ichigo.

“What do you want? Kurosaki?”

She spoke, voice shaky as she rubbed her eyes, more fresh tears falling as she looked ahead, she doesn't need ichigo to save her all of the time when there's a hollow attack nearby.

“Kagome….’

It was silent, except for the sound of footsteps approaching her.

“Why can't you just-”

“Just what…..? Mm? To not be a problem? Stop getting in your way? I don’t need you to protect Me-”

She was interrupted by the sound of ichigo yelling at her, causing her to stop talking.

“DON’T…..don't say that…”

He said, eyes narrowed at her, taking a step forward.

Kagome blinked and turned to face him and flinched when she saw his expression,

She had never seen him act like this before….he usually acts all aloof and always has that scowl on his face, even when he’s battling hollows….so why? Why does he have that pained look on his face? It’s like inuyasha all over again.

“Ichigo….”

Kagome mumbled and flinched when he grabbed her by her arms and pulled her closer, His Zanpakutō (Spirit sword) on his back as he leaned down and looked at her with pain in his eyes, tears beginning to gather in his eyes….

“Please…..just let me protect you….i-”

He was interrupted by kagome hugging him, causing him to stumble a bit from the impact of the hug before he returned the hug after hearing her cry and her reply ok “im sorry”s and “okay”s from him as they silently comforted each other, a silent vow to protect each other.

Note: Let me know if i messed up! :>, also I will draw a art to this at the bottom! Stay tuned! :>

Samurai AU : Invasion

A surprise update! Catch that rare pokemon!

Once again, this AU can be read individually, you don't need to be up to date with all the previous parts, but it's better for the context. And I'm still not a historian, especially not in the Japanese Edo period, so please bare with me with the possible inaccuracies.

———————————————–

Orihime was tending to her duties as the wife of a samurai when the rain started to pour from the sky. For two weeks straight, the air had been dry and hot, the crops suffering and the people trying to endure the harsh summer.

"Ah, thank the gods. We'll finally be able to rest our minds with that rain!" She smiled to herself, hands closing the castle documents she was reading to stand up to her feet, walking up to the window.

Ichigo had gone to a hunting party with two of his generals and some other advisors, hoping to empty his head. During his absence, although hopefully not as long as feared, Orihime's role was to keep the castle on the correct path, to ensure there were enough food, and weapons, everyone was healthy, and all types of management.

"My lady, some riders are approaching." A man came to her with a worried look on his face, and she recognized him to be a new intendant.

'Riders.' Not her husband. That was curious.

"Keep the doors closed until we know who they are. Have Kamaji check their identities and question their arrival." She answered the man, who didn't seem to want to go. "You may go."

The man, rather young, with hair pulled into a classic bun, stared at her with irritable eyes, mumbling to himself before taking his leave. Orihime stood quietly for a moment. His reaction was abnormal.

"Yasutora?"

The giant man looked up from his hiding place, right behind a heavy dresser, the space impossible to see for anyone entering the room.

"That's not one of our men." He warned with a deep voice, immediately getting up. "If he managed to come up to you, we can only assume other spies like him are in the castle."

Orihime felt shivers run down her spine, but shook them off, quickly opening drawers from her desk to gather the most important documents she could think of.

"I can't let them get any information. You, get the maids and their children out of the castle. They are in too much danger with an invasion."

The dark-skinned man nodded, opening the window wide to slip outside, hiding his face as he prompted a hood on his head.

"I'll be back very soon. Please don't do anything reckless."

In the next minutes, Orihime remained in the same room, pretending to be too busy with work to come out. There were no words from the riders, she supposed that only meant they left or were reinforcements. She wouldn't risk going to check : her life as Lady of the castle mattered too much.

Yasutora knocked on the frame of the window, and she turned around to see him drenched.

"We must go now. They're on their way to come to get you."

"What about Ichigo? Did you see him?"

"No, but I've sent someone trustworthy to inform him." The guard held out his hand. "We must leave now."

Orihime hid the documents in the yukata carefully, then covered herself with a poor-looking woolen cape. That would have to suffice. Yasutora helped her quickly get out of the room, showing her where to walk to avoid slipping, and she dutifully kept silent and calm to avoid being seen. The tall man mumbled an apology before taking her in his arms and jumping from roof to roof, making their descent much faster. And scarier. But it was not the time to linger on that.

.

.

.

The forest ground was muddy, but Orihime didn't care. They had managed to run from the castle with some of the servants unscathed and were now heading to a neighboring village. It was her responsibility to look after them, and to show the best example.

"We'll be there soon." She called for all of them to hear, and the many women and few children bravely continued to climb the hills.

Yasutora was keeping watch on them throughout the entire walk, helping out the youngest, and carrying the heavier ballots until they finally arrived. Horses with expensive saddles were tied by the tavern, and a huge weight was lifted from Orihime's heart.

Ichigo was under a porch, pacing like a caged tiger, his frown so deep she couldn't quite see his eyes. He stopped moving when he heard the dozens of people rushing to get into the dry tavern. Orihime rushed to him, mindful to not trip in the middle of the street, and was soon engulfed in her husband's arms.

"You're safe... Thank god..." He whispered in her ear, nuzzling his nose in her hair. He looked like he could finally breathe again. Orihime wrapped both of her arms around his middle, feeling tears of relief clouding her eyes. Ichigo pecked her cheek before caressing her. "Let's get inside. Get you dry."

As the night slowly came, all the servants fell asleep easily, too tired and shaken by the events of the day to fight sleep. Yasutora was nowhere to be seen, but certainly looking after everyone silently, leaving his lord and lady some intimacy.

Ichigo was holding Orihime close to him, never letting her go even to eat. As they laid together on their mat, he gently combed her hair while she explained everything that had happened.

"I shouldn't have left. I should have stayed with you to make sure that didn't happen..."

"It wasn't your fault. With how easily it happened, I'm pretty sure the entire castle was filled with spies. They would have injured you, or imprisoned you if you had been there."

Ichigo's gaze turned cold, his jaw pressing tight enough for his teeth to grind together, but his hand remained gentle as he hugged Orihime impossibly close.

"You're right. I'm grateful you could leave." Orihime peppered kisses on his skin, knowing he was starting to feel furious. Not at her, not ever. Slightly at himself, he couldn't help it. But mostly at his enemies, the urge to go back to battle as palpable as his beating heart. "I will take care of all of them soon. Make sure none of the traitors survive."

"Will you ask your father for help?"

"No. I will only need Yasutora. We will sneak back into the castle and kill the responsible."

Orihime moved a hand to cup his head, running her fingers in his hair, hoping to help him relax. Ichigo's glare remained focused on the ceiling, the muscles in his jaw and neck still contracted in anger. He was beating himself up for allowing this situation to happen, for putting his people and his wife in danger. Orihime leaned closer to kiss the side of his neck, murmuring that she was fine, that things would be alright.

After some time, Ichigo finally moved, turning her around to hug her back, making it impossible for her to see his face.

"You should rest, Orihime. Today was tough for you."

Orihime didn't fight him, because she knew he was already in great conflict with himself. Adding salt to the injury would not help him. She placed his hands under her chin, holding them close, as she drifted off to sleep under her husband's watchful gaze.

.

.

.

The castle was completely silent a week later. It hadn't taken too long for Ichigo and his ninja friend to cleanse the place of any 'parasites' and spies. The retainers slowly went back to their duties, cleaning the blood off the floors, bringing the bodies outside to be burnt, and staying silent and submissive to their lord until he calmed down.

Orihime found out that the main culprit that had planned the invasion was an older retainer who had been questioning all of Ichigo's decisions for months. He deemed himself more adept, and much more worthy to be the Lord of the castle. Ichigo hadn't killed him yet, instead beheading all the retainer's men in front of him as a way of distilling fear in the man. Sure enough, the prisoner was terrified of any sound, knowing his doom was approaching.

They were outside, sitting on a patio, Ichigo reading reports and Orihime staring either at the men training, either at her husband.

"Will you dispose of him today?"

She knew Ichigo did his best to stay calm, cool-headed and kind to her. This situation was reminding him too much of his years spent on the battlefields, with only violence and blood as the answer, back when he was almost like a Yokai, a Gashadokuro. His battle instincts had been reawakened, and he was straining himself to bury them again.

"I feel he is still hiding some information from me." Ichigo spoke, cracking his neck to release some build-up tension. "Once I am certain he spilled everything, he'll be executed accordingly."

Orihime nodded, understanding, and took one of his hands in hers. He stopped looking at his documents to smile up at her, the bags under his eyes making her heart tighten.

"He didn't manage to change anything, nor did he steal any information." She spoke, massaging his tensed hand. "You did good acting that quickly."

"It shouldn't have happened in the first place." He scolded, and Orihime knew he was right. Still, she kept massaging. "I'm sorry for being angry like this..."

"I would be worried if you weren't angry." She cut him off, chuckling to herself. He grumbled under his breath. "And I would be a poor excuse of a wife if I didn't help you at such a time."

Ichigo sighed, closing his eyes before laying down in her lap, pushing the reports and papers away. She knew how grateful he was for her presence, for her support, for accepting him. He didn't need to say it,. In the first month of their shared life together, after the wars had ended, she was aware of the darkness in his heart, of his almost addiction to violence. Living in peace, in a castle, with his wife, was not easy because of it. But they had managed it. They had excelled in it, because Orihime was here to help him, to lower the intensity of his violence, to keep it at bay, to teach him to live without it.

They would be alright.

———————————————–

Not quite sure about the ending but yay Ichigo leaning on his wife for support!

Since I've always kept those stories short, I didn't want to add too many gross details or dig too deep into the whole getting out of the castle or being fugitives.

See you for some more!

i’ve never really been one for miyazaki movies, but i’m gonna read too much into a kids’ movie anyway

spoiler cut

for the first 30 minutes or so, the boy and the heron feels pretty clear: we are watching a confrontation between pre-meiji isolationist feudalism and post-meiji imperialist industrialism. when mahito’s mom is killed by the firebombing of tokyo by the u.s., he and his father move to rural, agrarian saginuma: more or less literally thrown back in time, mahito gets off a train in his military-inspired school uniform and onto a rickshaw with his kimono-clad stepmom, which they take to her ancient (and very traditional) family estate. he gets into conflicts with the local farmer kids when he passes them as they work in the fields.

this is where it starts to get a little weird for me. i’ve seen the conflict called “bullying” online, but that seems a little… reductive. i don’t think the other kids fight him because they think he’s weak: to me it seems clear they fight him because they think he’s powerful. he’s urban; they’re rural. not only that, but it seems likely that many of their parents work either for shoichi (who is boss at a factory), or natsuko (who seems likely to be the local noble for whom the serfs work the fields). mahito is not the underdog here. this is underscored by the fact that the biggest injury he receives is not from them, but from himself.

anyway, the reason why this is weird is… it’s a little fash? the film pretty undeniably shows the fascists as the more sympathetic characters. the other kids (who, let’s remember, are there to contrast with the fascist shoichi), whatever their reason, do pick a fight with mahito, whose dad is literally producing planes for the imperialist army, and is definitely the sort of “brash but with your best interests at heart” character that fascists like to imagine themselves to be.

and, like a lot of anime, it also veers nervewrackingly close to eugenics territory with its main character—like naruto/ichigo/etc., the main character is ~special~ because of his lineage. i do not like hearing the line “only people of your bloodline can hear the master’s voice”! it’s weird and reminds me of the unification church! what makes mahito a better choice to play with blocks than anyone else?

even given the “it has to be someone related to his great-uncle”… why not his mom, his aunt, or any representation of them that exist in the multiverse connected to the tower? i’ve never really understood why people seem to be under the impression miyazaki movies have strong female protagonists—female protagonists, sure, but they always have very traditionalist attitudes and roles. (i admit my bias here; i’ll never forgive miyazaki for neutering howl’s moving castle’s sophie.) here, the women consist of 1) dead mom, 2) new pregnant mom, and 3) a bunch of old women who are servants and grandmother stand-ins—not exactly far from how fascists want their women to be. (yeah, I know: dead mom also has fire powers and that’s cool; kiriko is a sickass magician/fisherperson; that doesn’t change their primary roles.) the parakeets (who are so fash-coded i don’t even need to explain) won’t hurt natsuko because she has “a baby inside”. it feels very weird to have someone saved by the fact fascists love fetuses? idk.

so, is the movie pro-fascist? i mean, probably not intentionally? it just seems at some points that it has more of a problem with the label “fascist” than the substance of fascism. i suppose you could argue that mahito refusing to build the tower on his great-uncle’s behalf (who, of course, started building it during the meiji period) and accepting natsuko (feudal landlady supreme) as his mother is indicative of a rejection of fascism, but it does nothing about the actual fascist in the story, shoichi. perhaps we’re meant to accept a vision of japan which is industrialist and imperialist, and isolationist and feudalist? good lord, what a right wing wet dream.

anyway, the boy and the heron is ultimately a greatest-hits album. like: child experiences life change, and goes on a journey to a magical world with a funny little animal buddy, where a bossy woman puts them to work at a job where they’re slightly hampered by adorable mascot characters. there’s a love story with the child, but not really, because it’s a child. they eat well-animated food, and catch a ride on a bird that has to flap its wings incredibly fast to account for the added weight. there’s a granny with a bun, and a beautiful, elegant woman in a kimono. ultimately, the child succeeds with the help of an amoral creature embodying nature. roll credits. all the songs you loved when you were young, now available remastered, at a record store near you!

in conclusion: it’s a kids’s movie. i’m not gonna hit myself in the head with a rock over it.

Juice Box

Summary: Rukia loved orange juice, even if she didn't know how to get the straw in the box.

Pairing: Kurosaki Ichigo x Kuchiki Rukia

Word Count:

Warnings: Angst

A/N: Wrote this some weeks ago when I started dabbling into writing again. Hope you like it!

The juice box in his bag had split and ruined all the contents inside.

Yuzu had been horrified when she opened it and the strong smell of orange juice hit her. She kept despairing about every item she pulled out, one by one, exclaiming how she would try to dry and fix it. When she pulled out his iPod though, dripping in sweet sticky liquid, she seemed to give up on the fact that she could return everything to how it previously was.

Mizuiro raised an eyebrow in question when Ichigo showed up at school holding a red satchel the next morning.

“It’s Karin’s.” He muttered. “Spilled something in mine. It got ruined.”

Keigo made fun of him for it. Uryuu just looked at it with his usual disdain. Ichigo flipped him off. Chad didn’t say anything. Orihime thought it was cute and ‘a nice change’.

At some point, all their words just blurred together.

It wasn’t until the sun had properly gone down did Ichigo get back home. He had been making deliveries after school, and it had taken him a little longer than anticipated because he got held up by one of the customers. Regardless, he was home now, weary to the bone and wanting to do nothing but collapse on his bed. As he changed, he could hear Kon pittering around in his closet. Ichigo hoped he wouldn’t speak. He didn’t feel like holding a conversation at the moment.

There was a quiet knock on his door once he’d tossed his uniform in the hamper. Karin poked her head in, holding up his bag.

“Thanks. That was quick. ” Ichigo muttered, taking the bag from her. Karin hummed and yawned, leaning against the doorframe.

“You know how Yuzu gets.” She gave Ichigo an almost scolding look. “Why’d you have that juice box in there? The packaging said it expired months ago. Also, you don’t like orange juice.”

Ichigo scowled at her, rummaging through the bag and looking at everything inside. He was surprised to see that almost everything looked intact. Except his iPod which was not turning on no matter how much he poked and prodded at it.

“I forgot to throw it out.” He spat. He didn’t like having to explain anything. He was tired and Karin was acting like it was his fault.

(It was.)

She blinked at the acid in his tone, straightening up and scowling back at him. “I don’t know what your issue is, but I don’t appreciate the way you’ve been acting. Either fix whatever problem you have or handle your shit yourself. Yuzu isn’t your servant.”

She grabbed the door handle and stepped out, giving him one last withering glare on the way before the door slammed shut.

Silence fell on the room. Kon had stopped shuffling around, probably listening to the conversation. The air was still. Ichigo’s hold on his satchel tightened until his knuckles were white.

What did Karin know? She was unaware of the million thoughts spiraling around Ichigo’s head. She couldn't fathom his anguish, his helplessness. She didn’t understand what it felt like to lose his powers and go from being so dependable to being so useless. She didn’t know what it was like to have not seen Rukia for the last eleven-

Stop.

A deep breath.

Ichigo’s grip on his bag loosened. He relaxed his jaw and let his shoulders drop. There was a slight creak and his closet door opened, Kon peeking through the miniscule crack and peering at him.

“You okay?”

No. “Yeah. Fine.”

The newly cleaned bag hit his desk with a thump. Some shuffling later, the covers were pulled up to his chin and he stared at the bare ceiling. The closet door shut again with a soft click.

Something in Ichigo’s mind seemed to have settled. To him, it felt like he had spent so long using every fiber of his being to not think about Rukia, that the minute he had pictured her in his brain, all his efforts had left this body. He felt hollow and empty, and all he could see was the last of her face as it disappeared right in front of him, tarnished by the look of sadness in her eyes.

That night, he didn’t fight off his thoughts any longer. He let himself think and he let himself dream of her. It was no use trying to avoid it. He missed her terribly. The days were hard enough without her there, how could he deprive himself of her thoughts during the nights too?

On his way to school the next morning, Ichigo stopped at the tiny convenience store he frequented and bought a juice box, stashing it in the far corner of his newly cleaned bag.

Let me know what you think! Taglist is open

We need more Naruto crossover-style revenges in KHR for fuck sake! Where my OP Tsuna with a badass zanpakutou and inner hollow who straight up murders Reborn? Or kick the crap out of his 'friends' when their try to strongarm him into being their silent and obedient pawn? Or kill Dino's men when they invade his house? When they try to coerce Tsuna into going to places against his will? Or even kill Xanxus in the Ring Battles? No talking, no deals, no 'convincing', they want something and will do anything to get it, so just kill them. Make them fucking listen to you.

Or try to use Tsuna's friendship to draft powerful Elements into the Vongola. Imagine Tsuna befriending Arrancars and Shinigami and then Timoteo turns his greedy eyes to those very, very powerful people and keep trying to 'invite' them into the Family so he can order them around as servants, or try to make Seireitei/Hueco Mundo a subordinade Family to the Vongola.

And they will be forced to sacrifice and die for the Vongola, like all your loved ones. Blackmailed and threatened by Reborn and Iemitsu, forced to fight to you - no, they don't care about you - for the Vongola's Heir. And used as hostages to make you submit to the Vongola's superiority. Do it or else always ring in the air.

(Imagine those sly cunning fuckers with their emotional manipulation 'aren't you his friend? don't you want to help Tsuna-kun? He's Vongola. You should help the Vongola.' and 'this belongs to Tsuna-kun, therefore its belongs to the Vongola'. Like... if Tsuna already made a powerful group or something, they will 'absorve' it into greedy Vongola. Or powers/weapons? They will demand to hand over to them and teach them their powers.)

Timoteo would be salivating at the thought of having those people in Vongola for him to order and manipulate around. Tsuna don't have a backbone to protect his friends. Vongola thinks they are are their disposal to order around as they want.

I saw this happened in crossovers with both Kurosaki Ichigo and Emiya Shirou, Reborn begin his usual manipulative jerk self and pissing off god-like begins and THEY DO NOTHING.

Or Timoteo demanding to hand over the zanpakutous for the superiority of Vongola? Or trying to force Urahara to make him stuff? Attempt to force a shinigami to marry to produce strong flame users? Order Tsuna to teach his spirit powers to others to make Vongola members stronger? Bleach Shinigami are in a level far greater than even the Vindice, old fucker would drooling at the thought of having those people for him to order around. He's a power hungry and greedy asshole, a cunning and ruthless control freak. And he does not like being told 'no'.

Forced Recruitment seens to be norm given Tsuna's situation.

I read so many crossovers where Reborn manipules/threats/blackmail to help/join Vongola or for daring speak up against him, or is confronted by people far stronger than him (like Emiya Shirou, Ichigo and Urameshi Yusuke) and THEY DO NOTHING, JUST BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF REBORN FOR FUCK SAKE I AM DONE.

Why the fuck this fandom has a problem with fighting Reborn? He's pretty weak in comparison with most fandoms, when he finds Tsuna, just fight him. When there a history of Tsuna being hunted in some way there is the 'ah, he found me, now I have to go with him', uh...no? You don't?

☔Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?

Answered this once with the easy option, so let's dig through the rest of the mental files...

Okay, wait, the easiest answer to this is the non-Tolkien fics. I've a mental block hard to overcome for writing in the many fandoms that I love and enjoy to read but won't write for unless I pull the setting all the way into an original universe (the current Sphinx's Bastard Son is an example of such projects). Thus why I have no Star Wars fics. For a specific example: for a few months now, not that I have much beyond the very detailed one-shot of the scene, an AU idea for Bleach where when Hashwalch fetches Uryuu to convince him to join the Steinritters, the second person who comes to coerce Uryuu is his resurrected mother, Kanae. The shock reveal that Ywach's premonition post-Aushwalen that this one Quincy survivor needs to be actually on his side which the whole killing of the mother messed up, so bullshit Almighty powers and revives Kanae and now she's the revered most beloved daughter of the Quincy King. Kanae decked out in Steele silver chain jewelry and the clothing of a princess under a delicate cloak of shadows, leaning hard into the symbolism of both the servant girl that tricks her way into stealing the princess's place and the missing Mary to Ywach's evil messiah with all the warped Christian theming of the Quincies to the more traditional Shinigami Buddhism. That her surname Katagiri references the kiri princess tree used as symbol of the prime minister versus the royal family's chrysanthemum. How the meta-narrative tilts because this isn't the real protagonist Ichigo's dead mother as the one revived by the villains to tempt the hero but half-blood servant girl Kanae (and even the few fanfics that reverse Masaki's death and/or have Isshin as the dead parent instead never include Kanae in their unfridging of the dead mothers). To have Kanae as this precious figure among the Steinritters, their one tribe member to have had the Aushwalen process reversed, the one person Ywach decided not just to temporarily gift his power but to restore (whose son was immune to Ywach's greed) and how she is their linchpin of hope around whom the less loyal will gravitate (How Hashwalch secretly hates and fears her). Kanae calling for her son, telling them that the world has nine days left and he is to be named heir (and your cousin Masaki's son the Protector he is coming to rescue you, good to know you boys are friends, it's been ten years, I hear he's not done a perfect job of keeping you and all your friends safe). Look at all this rain, Uryuu, I named you for it; I missed it in the Silbern. Stand down, Hashwalch. Oh look at the people arriving who finally noticed that we're here.

okay as i doubt you have any bleach knowledge and especially not the final arc...

okay the explicit smut fics for mostly OCs aren't happening but they're in my head. Or the summer after Aegnor meets and dumps Andreth she spends the summer in Dor-lómin and gets into the skaldic song battles with a young man trying to court her that makes the most understandable mistake around 'death separates me from my would-be lover'. Because Song-Fic. And definitely not writing the AU sequel to that where Aegnor ends up part of Andreth's escort back to Dorthonion and the tension gets to them, fuck it they fuck. Definitely not the "Beren's father is named Egnor because everything's a lie and a cover story he's the first half-elf; Finrod look at your secret nephew and despair"

Asian Clothing Figurines Review

Asian Clothing: Japanese Kimono

Kimono Type: Otoko-Kimono: Kinagashi-sugata

Accuracy Rating: ???/5

Explanation: He’s wearing a mizuhiki knot called an “awaji-musubi” over his obi. It’s interesting because it’s a knot that can’t be untied by pulling on the tails, so you’re only supposed to use it for events that you only desire to happen once like weddings or funerals. The fact the mizuhiki-obi combo is in red & white colors, I’m guessing it’s a wedding.
