Still here, still alive. Still hopin, still shippin

Just a doodle, "The Ecstasy of Kurosaki Ichigo"
Based on Bernini's sculpture Ecstasy of Saint Teresa for all you art history nerds out there.

Anyone....?
Fine I will go back to comparing Bleach moments to religious art all by myself then (it is a lonely world)

It's my blog and I will ship IchiRuki if I want to

They are kissing in my sketchbook :O

Chigo & Ruki Ruki

I am particularly proud of how this came out.  And I got to draw a hookah.

Alternate universe!  This couple is canon wherever they may be.
Didn't you love how they would make entire filler episodes based on Kubo's color spread art or pencil doodles?  :P

This again...

Just a reminder that I ship IchiRuki... in sexual ways.
Self-indulgent nekkid drawings result.

Not-quite-SFW behind the cut

my one and possibly only fanfic

Behind Closed Doors, begun Feb 2013, completed May 2013.

Summary: Rukia thinks she's alone and focuses on her desires for a change. Ichigo finds out. It's the start of something new, but there are many factors against them. Love doesn't come without consequence, but it is worthwhile nevertheless. Set in two parts: pre- and post- Thousand Year Blood War arc. 

Contains LEMON and is rated M for mature readers only.  

Genre: Romance, Drama and Smut.
Words: approx 40,000
Chapters: 8

Like so many other fanfics, it contains my personal interpretation about how their relationship would progress once it got physical (if Bleach was a hentai, maybe :P)
Also a lot of my personal headcanon, i.e: how Orihime's character would be better if she managed to get over Ichigo, pro-IshiHime, Central 46 being bureaucratic dickbags (Soul Society's government is messed up, guys), and Ichigo being a young adult with hormones.
Some of it was simply created by the urge to circumvent the cliches out there (am I the only one who thinks Ichigo would not make a great division captain?  And that he's not just going to stay in Soul Society and that will be the HAPPIEST ENDING) ...and to give Rukia a more balanced role of career ambition/personal responsibility and not just want to pop out kids.  Fuuuuuck.

I'm happy it's out there.  I'm happy I did it but I'm also happy it's done.  You won't see much writing from me for a while :P

Oh yeah, and manga chapter 537? Omigod, Kubo.

Thank you for this face. DAT FACE. Shit, I'm freaking out about how grown up Ichigo looks.

I got a few things wrong in my Masaki theory post because Kubo.
What I knew for sure:  Masaki could have easily defeated Grand Fisher, but Juha Bach did sort of kill her indirectly.  It's simply a good reason for Ichigo to get involved on a personal level.
Hear that Quincy King?  You just made shit personal.

It wasn't a surprise to see Uryu doing the 'betrayal' thing but it still made my heart sink.  I have no doubt that he has ulterior motives but of course it's going to be dragged out forever again.
Did you do it for the uniforms, Uryu?  I don't blame you.  Dude looks like a GQMF.

Death of a Shinigami

Dead or just unconscious?  You never know with Ichigo...

So.  I'm a little worried that Ichigo will never be a shinigami again.  R.I.P. Zangetsu.  Who knows when we will see him again?!?

This drawing was modeled off of Michaelangelo's 'Pieta'.  I'm not saying that Ichigo is Jesus but maybe I am.

Another Manga Edit

Lyrics: "Dark Paradise", Lana Del Ray

Bleach: Chapter 423

Fact: If you replace the text in these two pages with Lana Del Ray lyrics, you will cry.

I've been cycling her albums on repeat as I write fanfic. 

I think it would be a good combo for a disgustingly melancholy AMV.

Ichigo Kurosaki v.s: The World

This is my most favorite Bleach crossover vid EVEEERRRRRR.
Masterfully done and shows true fandom of source material <3
Also IchiRuki FTW, duh


  omg Rukia Flowers you dated like three Espada?

the Kurosaki family

A cute, fluffy scenario that gives me the feels.
ICHIGO! WHEN YOUR DAD CALLS A GIRL YOU BRING HOME HIS 'THIRD DAUGHTER' YOU OUGHT TO KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
These two.  Shipped so, so much and so obviously.  I can't even.

If none of you have tried drawing Isshin before, I highly recommend it.
PS: If Karin turns out to be half as badass as her brother Karakura town will be safe forever and ever.  We will be watching your career with great interest.

IchiRuki: shopping

This is a true story.  Valentine's Day is barely over and Easter junk is popping up in stores everywhere.
Miffy the bunny has this effect on me.

I worked hard on their expressions.  Please let the cuteness wash over you.

I freaking love this tumblr feed: FuckYeah, IchiRuki

just some IchiRuki for Valentine's

Happy Valentine's Day (in the living world, North America) 

NOW KISS

sometimes i sit around in my big black dressing gown and pretend i'm a shinigami

Favorite character time~!

Rukia Kuchiki from Bleach

How I feel about this character:
I don't love Rukia so much as I want to BE her.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Just Ichigo now.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Orihime!  A girl needs girlfriends amirite?

My unpopular opinion about this character: she's had a thing with Renji... but it didn't work out. (what?? they need to determine this so that there are no unrequited feelings) Hasn't had a relationship since being adopted as a Kuchiki and NOTHING AS EPIC AS HER AND ICHIGO WILL BE.

Post Soul Society Invasion arc they were teaming up on Ichigo hilariously-- Renji is totally her wingman

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: GET. WITH. ICHIGO!!! AUGH  *flails* If Kubo didn't want any characters to get together he shouldn't have given us so much feels and such sexy characters

I am waiting for the IchiRuki

my het ship/OTP: IchiRuki!!!!!!

I did have a RenRuki phase.  Mostly because I was so pissed with Ichigo not making a goddamn move and Renji is sexy as hell.    Not gonna lie, I stopped reading Bleach when Rukia wasn't in it.  Then BAM- Fullbring arc conclusion-- stabbed him again-- all my feels-- bright and shining OTP once more

my fem/slash ship: Tatsuki would be pretty hot.  Who said that??

my OT3: Ichigo x Rukia x Renji OMG DYING.  I could also accept Ichigo x Rukia x Orihime- equal opportunity threesomes, c'mon- GET IT ICHIGO

my cross over ship: I love crossovers but nyaaaah... Bleach universe is already too much

my kink: FemDom!Rukia

my head canon fact: that she and other soul reapers in general have sex.  As high energy souls they have human needs, albeit less need to fulfill them as often.  I refuse to believe that she is a centuries-year-old virgin like creepy fuckin' Edward Cullen.

my gender bend: NOPE.  Rukia does not need to be made male, she is so perfect.  Bleach is enough of a sausage fest as it is
2nd choice answer: See Byakuya
