#Grimmjow well...

[aoflameandco]

hi aoflameandco！I like your latest GrimmNel edit, the one that's captioned, “Once upon a time under a lonely moon”. The burgundy background and the dark shades on those two characters remind me of a print that you would see on a heavy throw blanket. Sometimes these heavy throw blankets use dark colors like brown, black, navy blue, burgundy, and more that contrast from the cream color that's also used. From what I recall some of these blankets have tigers or deers or flowers.

Hi-hi! Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it! I didn't make grimmnel edits for a while, but these two never stop to inspire me 😌

Ah, thanks for appreciating the colors! I was thinking about Hueco Mundo, which is certainly a dark place. The background was kinda inspired by tapestry's art, but I really like your comparison with a heavy throw blanket. Both help to forget about the endless cold desert and create a small space - just for two lonely souls.

I recently picked up the first volume of Can’t Fear Your Own World because, well, I was surprised the bookstore even had it, and because I’ve been intensely curious about the light novels since I finished the manga

Haven’t read it yet but I’ve paged through to see the illustrations and I was so absurdly pleased to see my favorite murderous kitty’s face multiple times

“developed an obsession” i know they’re talking about Grimmjow wanting to kill Ichigo but i still think this is the funniest way to phrase that. just. obsessed with Ichigo. yeah we know you don’t gotta spell it out in black and white lmao

[sasanyaustala]

Bleach/ZZZ crossover? Anyone?

[acediaedeus]

just saw someone say they can’t believe Ichigo didn’t try for a girl after Kazui, and like… damn… they’re SON right. he was destined to be a girl dad, and Kubo gives him a son??? I have nothing against Kazui, don’t get me wrong, he’s a cute kid and all, BUT.

and I do believe that misogyny’s at play here, because “oh, firstborn son, you’re so lucky”, “only a son can inherit all these super cool powers”, “the MC of a shōnen simply CAN NOT have a firstborn daughter, it’s against the laws of nature”. at least that’s the vibe I’m getting, although I could just be searching for a problem where there is none.

and because of this “daughters can’t inherit cool stuff” we never see any truly impressive and undefeated female characters in shōnen. and yes, I know, the genre is catered towards teenage boys, and don’t want to read about a female MC or have a woman be the strongest in that verse. but let’s be fucking for real, girls read shōnen too, and if they can’t deal with a strong woman maybe they should Keep Themselves Safe, yk?（＾∇＾）

like, yeah, Unohana is strong, she’s a Kenpachi, so cool, right? and yet she loses and dies in order for Zaraki to have a power up :/

there’s Yoruichi, of course, but that’s how they always do it, no? let the fastest character be a woman, speed isn’t all anyway. but the strongest?? a woman?!?!! we can’t let that happen!!!

there’s always this fuckass man, who will defeat the strongest woman, because, well, he’s a man. or worse, have that woman fall in love with him, and SECEDE the title to him.

anyway, before I go on a rampage: Kurosaki Ichigo should’ve had a daughter.

Wake up. Think of grimmjow. Go back to bed.... I think my friends are tired of it but that blue cat has infected my brain so bad. It makes me want to make poor financial decisions..... it's so hard to get merch of him and most merch is in Japan only so maybe that's a good thing for my bank account..... regardless I will be drawing this blue cat very soon....take this not serious offering....

HBD To me!~🥳🎈

I don't know how Round 2 of the Pernida battle is going to go, but it does look like Barragan and Starrk might be able to defeat his first phase in a combined battle, if not alone (assuming they're not on Pernida's turf where they can't fly and need a foothold).

Mayuri firing off exploding souls was able to tear Pernida apart, so there's no reason to suspect that Starrk's wolves wouldn't do the same.

And I don't know how Pernida would be able to attack Barragan with his nerve attacks; his nerves would rot before touching him, and even if he could launch enough, they wouldn't be able to contact Barragan long enough to take him over.

I'm obviously not giving either of them a victory over a Staffel member, because these guys are the Final Bosses, but they should be fast enough, clever enough, and hacked enough to survive the first round.

What happens next, on the other hand...

[acediaedeus]

the reason I like Grimmjow so much is, obviously, because he’s a feline-adjacent character and that’s all I really need. and that’s also why my mission in this life is to slap as many feline traits on him as possible.

but before that I need to reinforce my “cat person Ichigo” agenda, because he would definitely be one, and not just because of Grimmjow, no. I just feel like if Ichigo had to get a pet it would be a cat, because cats are rather self-sufficient and independent, they don’t require 24/7 attention (rather hate it even), their needs are easily met and over all they are quiet, calm. cats enjoy a great nap and lazing around, but do get into a playful mood at times, which all sounds to me very much like Ichigo. also I think the ways cats show affection would really appeal to him, as well as their companionable silence, their presence small, but comforting, because they let you know you’re not alone.

so, enter Grimmjow with all his feline grace, a predator to his very core, snappy and yet intelligence shines in all that he does. and when things come down to affection he is still so very cat-like with it. a cat who’s been hurt, had to fight and hunt to survive, bristly and quick to anger and oh so slow to trust. just like the stray that you see on a street, that you get down on your knees for and thrust your hand out so it can sniff it or swipe its claws at or get frightened by, forcing it to retreat, run away, whatever wins out in that stray’s mind: curiosity, flight or fight. and Grimmjow is that stray too, but pride won’t let him run away and he’s been wondering the world long enough to not be so easily swayed into what could very well be a trap by mere curiosity. that is, until Kurosaki Ichigo.

and so Grimmjow meets him and falls into his trap, not willingly, not without a fight. he hisses and growls, he yells and spits venom, he scrambles to get out, claws like daggers swiping at everything, anything, to find something to dig into, so he can pull himself out. and yet he can’t, and with time resigns himself to the fact, that he doesn’t even really want to.

Kurosaki’s presence at first disappoints, nothing, but prey in all his terror, shaking hands, erratic movements, but as the fight goes on the boy feels less and less like prey, and then his mouth is twisted into something deranged, something similar if not identical to Grimmjow’s own smile, all sharp teeth and the promise of violence. maybe not so disappointing after all. every next time they fight each other after that Kurosaki’s presence gets more intense, at times making Grimmjow’s hair stand on end. and then they don’t see each other for a long time, and then they do, and Grimmjow somehow failed to notice when Kurosaki’s presence stopped feeling like something crushing down on him, urging him to fight against whatever it is and destroy it, and more like a blanket, light, but there, seemingly insignificant and yet comforting and warm.

Kurosaki Ichigo doesn’t feel like a fight all the time anymore, although Grimmjow enjoys every second of it when he does, and he finds that he doesn’t mind it as much as he thought he would. the boy, who’s not even a boy anymore, is there, on his knees before a stray, holding out his hand, ready to bleed, but hoping for softness. and Grimmjow is that stray, ready to claw and yet choosing to trust, if only for a second. and when that trust doesn’t result in hurt, Grimmjow finds it brings security.

anyway, before I ramble even more, oh my god, what is this?!?!?? all I wanted to write was “Grimmjow and Ichigo are like those lions you see in TV programs about wildlife, nuzzling each other’s heads and then flopping down against the other for a nap”??? what is this shit 💀🙏🏻??

Big Kitty made sure I bought some food to myself today, ahah! :'D Thanks, Grimmjow!
