Hi do you ever think about the way Aizen hugs Hinamori when they reunite in that damned hall because it is interesting, like, there is such an emphasis on it, it has such a focus that there is a step-by-step depiction of that: starting from her crying, his surprise, his eyes, and slowly his movements, so delicate, tender when there was no need to be so. But at the same time it is not a normal hug, because he can't be normal to save his life.

Momo is small in his arms while he is embracing her, right before that she looked at him as he was the sun; be reunited whit him is the only thing that matter because he is the centre of her life and she is happy to finally disappear in him again. It's such a desperate relationship (by both sides mind me) that they don't exist as separate entities. And that is what Aizen does, separating her from everything (and everyone) else but him, making her part of himself even when he is going to kill her. Because even in death she was his and can only be that, they gravitate into eachother to the point of destruction. "I didn't want to be the one to kill you, but it has to be done so you die and you die on me because I am your identity" (you are all mine but being so I became yours). Or are you normal?

In other news, the questions on Quora still feel like they're posed by people who haven't seen the Anime nor read the Manga...

Today's question was "What would have happened Kenpachi had fought Ichigo, instead of Byakuya, during the Soul Society Arc."

And I'm staring at it like:

Yoruichi. Who were the other ryouka, Yoruichi?

This could very well be a reference to Quincy? It would certainly serve as an adequate description of the Bount Arc. It could also mean, like, werewolves or some souls from some other afterlife, or some other group of randos that have a (likely very valid) beef with Yamamoto. It could also be, just…fear-mongering xenophobia promoted by the Seireitei, blaming any attempts at insurrection/social reform on “outsiders.”

I just honestly really love early Bleach, where all the exposition is like “ignore that, it’s just a leftover relic of The Horrors, and we don’t have time to unpack that right now.”

re-reading the soul society arc in bleach and this kind sums up what's happening in the background

Oh...

This is even "worse"!!!

In the anime, Ichigo jumped really far back!

In the manga they're right there!

And why that softness of gazes as Byakuya asks Ichigo why he took his blade from his throat?

Can you guys flirt after fighting?
