In terms of weird-o Bleachy thoughts that rampage through my mind at various times, there is always this page from the TBTP arc:
Tumblr media
And while this is a banger of a page in an arc full of them, my goober mind mostly telescopes in on this one panel:
Tumblr media
Am I not supposed to wonder at this panel? Because here I am on a Friday wondering. More specifically, I am wondering: What am I supposed to take away here? And, what is it that I do actually take away here (today at least)?
As usual, I'll start by describing it because you have to start somewhere, I guess. This scene is a mostly pointless aside to the story, since I don't think we learn anything super substantive, plot-wise. What we do learn is that Byakuya is what passes for a "teenager" during this period, takes his training and role super seriously, and Yoruichi tortures plays with him on occasion.
The panel that draws my eye, however, seems to be communicating a few things at once: One, Byakuya realizes he has a guest. Two, that guest is Yoruichi. And three, Yoruichi greets young Byakuya tits out, which provides some color as to the nature of their relationship. I don't think either points two or three are revelations to the audience. Is anyone shocked the guest is Yoruichi? No, we've already spent some time with her in this arc and know she's definitely around. Also, is anyone really shocked that she and Byakuya have a teasing quasi-sibling relationship? Again, no, we've probably gathered as much since at least the SS arc.
For me, then, it's point one that scratches at the ole brain pan. What I am to make of Byakuya realizing he has a guest? Does he often receive guests at House Kuchiki? My guess is no. He looks sort of curious. The art isn't giving, say, razzle-dazzle anticipation, either (i.e., in that he is really keen on the guest being someone specific). I suppose you could squint really hard and say he might be hopeful as to who could be calling on him, but more in a diffuse "someone took time out of their day to see me" sort of way and less of a heart-skipping prayer that the guest is XYZ, who he's been dying to see again for ages.
I think this latter interpretation might be closer to the truth once the scene continues, and Byakuya goes from, "A guest for little ole me?" to this:
Tumblr media
Which is just the zany shit I love to see from my Bleach characters. To be perfectly honest, I think Kubo does a pretty good job at nailing teenagers in all their ridiculous reaction formations and exaggerated responses to things (I say lovingly). However, I think that his relative curiosity ("A guest?") turned immediately to, "GO AWAY, YOU," could be read as he may have been excited or hopeful to receive a guest, one who is not Yoruichi. And, his overblown reaction to Yoruichi likely betrays the fact that even though she's a pain in his ass, he's pretty happy to see her.
So, what to make of all that. Well... perhaps we're supposed to take home the idea that perhaps Byakuya is isolated, even now. We get a hint of that at the very beginning of the scene:
Tumblr media
Here, Ginrei (Byakuya's grandfather) notes that he is staying at the manor rather than the barracks, which implies that at least one close family member doesn't always come home. Given that Byakuya's father is the Vice Captain of Squad Six, it's likely his father has a similar schedule (i.e., periods of absence from the home where Byakuya lives). Combined with Byakuya's curiosity at receiving a guest and subsequent deflation at who that guest winds up being, perhaps we are supposed to understand that he's pretty lonely.
Now, before someone accuses me of going easy on Byakuya, I definitely think some of that loneliness is of his own making, given what a cocky brat he is to Yoruichi in these panels, a perspective that gets echoed by Kaien shortly afterward:
Tumblr media
But, being a cocky brat is sort of a thing teens do on occasion. And, not having a lot of people to socialize with probably doesn't help with beating that quality out of someone learning how to behave appropriately.
Given how this arc shakes out in the end--with Yoruichi going into hiding to help a friend--the potential people left to call upon Byakuya dwindles further. Then, after his dad dies an unspecified amount of time later, it dwindles further still.
And so, on that thought, I end this post. Because what's Bleach without a little tragedy coupled with humor? (My personal favorite variety of Bleach.)

Bleach Returns 2024 Day 3: Shikai/Fav Friendship/Black Hole Disco
Tumblr media
In the time travel story, Toshiro is good friends with Yoruichi's and Byakuya's fathers. He went to the academy with them and was a part of both of their divisions at one time: Toshiro being the former third seat of the sixth division under Ginrei Kuchiki, and Toshiro being the former lieutenant of the second division under Yusuke Shihouin.
Sojun is a canonical character, only shown in a character database book many years ago.
Yusuke is my OC, one I made for my story. Yes he was inspired by Chika's design. Leave me alone, I like Chika's design.

❝The constant need to appear flawless, to uphold the image of the Kuchiki head, had cost him more than he would ever admit. Admitting weakness—any form of weakness—was a death sentence. It was why his father was dead.❞

Hello 👋 how have you been doing? I just wanted to say I enjoyed the new chapters for Ice Changes The Story. Hyourinmaru, Sojun, Yusuke, and Zombie Toshiro love their personalities. Zombie Toshiro was good unexpected twist. Great art of him love the details. I was wondering are you going to add the zanpakuto rebellion arc to this story? And will Toshiro meet Karin?
Hello!! I have been quite fine. I am glad you are loving the new chapter of my story. I try to be as accurate as possible with Hyorinmaru. As there isn't much about Sojun and we know nothing about Yoruichi's father, their personalities are quite fun to write. A friendship between a Shihouin, Kuchiki and a prodigy is very interesting and something that came out of nowhere, plus I thought it would be interesting if TT (Time Travel) Toshiro had some connections to Yoruichi, Byakuya and Yushiro.
A few people love the whole unexpected twist of Zombie Toshiro. I felt like it wasn't explained quite a lot after the whole Mayuri changes Toshiro, Rangiku, Kensei and Rose back to normal, so I wanted to dwelve into my own thoughts and projection. Plus with the battle between Kenpachi, Byakuya and Toshiro vs Gerard, some of Toshiro's skin had turned black and it was never explain as in the next shot of Toshiro, it disappeared.
I am planning on adding all side arcs and some movies and non cannon stuff, I want to make the book as a complete rewrite story of Bleach while having fun. Change on Side, Change the story was a massive inspiration for me and it changed my whole life. Without that book, Ice Changes the Story would not exist.
And yes, Toshiro will meet Karin.
I still have a lot planned for Ice Changes the Story and it has only just started.

Also, I know Byakuya has the sweetness of this man inside his heart, that's why I decided to name my OC and Byakuya's baby, Sojun 💖

Hello there Sojun Kuchiki fans.

I was thinking about something...
For how long has Kenpachi been in the Gotei 13?
Because can you imagine if the actual reason why Byakuya seems to hold a grudge against him, is because Kenpachi actually did this to Byakuya WHEN HE WAS JUST A LITTLE KID?!?
Can you imagine a short fused 8, 10 year old Byakuya causing problems (on purpose) and being grabbed by the scruff of his neck by that Giant Savage™, being hoisted into his other shoulder, (Byakuya would forever ponder on why Yachiru remained frozen in the same age) and unceremoniously delivered to Kuchiki Sojun in the 6th Squad barracks...
Byakuya would never live that one down and that's why he has issues with Kenpachi...
You can’t tell me that Captain Kyoraku or Ukitake didn’t stop a teenage wild Byakuya with his legendary temper by grabbing him from the back of his clothes and lifting him up like cats do with their kittens.

ok I need elaboration on pretty much all of those bankais that you haven't already talked about but for now i'm probably most curious about ichigo and hanataro? please, a measly few crumbs of context
The short version of Ichigo's sword situation is that he is D'artanigan to Zangetsu's Three displaced-during-the-fuckery-surrounding-his-parent's-meet-cute-slash-manslaughter-thing Musketeers. We got his dad's half-starved family Zanpakuto, The Family Ghost from his Mom's side, and a guy made in an evil instapot that wandered in here on accident and precipitated the whole enfuckening. They are untied in their goal of "Keep Ichigo Alive" but unfortunately they also have a collective IQ of Negative Four.
Reader: Gee Ichigo, why does the author let you have THREE Zanpakuto spirits?
Ichigo: That's nothing! Orihime has SIX!
Ichigo and Orihime's nonsense is connected to how The Almighty operates:)
Meanwhile, short summaries of Unohana and Byakuya's Bankai under the cut:
Unohana:
Minazuki is a sword primarily about the manipulation of flesh- healing injury, making better fighters by pushing the flesh to it's limits- This is a spirit that is distinctly VISCERAL in nature. It has mass. It has a very distinct body.
So it follows that, in order to supply injured patients with blood and drugs and new flesh and everything else, Minazuki is giving up some of her Mass. Consequently, the Stingray form of Minazuki is the SECOND one- she cannot create her elixirs and make new flesh from nothing. First she must FEED.
Which is why Minazuki's liquid format is acidic blood that devours anything organic. It's why Kenpachi!Unohana's bloodthirst was so bloodthirsty: she was literally starving for biomass to complete her sword's two forms and finally put her Soul in Balance.
In the fic, Ukitake is one of a handful of people old enough to remember "Yachiru" Unohana, and until Zaraki's arrival, probably the closest to understanding her. That Unohana and Retsu both understand the horrors of the flesh he lives with every day more intimately than anyone else in his life, and it's the basis of an almost sacred friendship between them. He knows perfectly well where the emergency transfusions and drugs she creates come from, and they have a standing agreement that if he predeceases her, she is to feed his body to Minazuki so he can pay forward at least some of the debt given to him.
He will not be the first of Unohana's friends that have been willingly devoured by her sword.
Byakuya:
Senbonzakura has been with the Kuchiki family for generations, passed from one head of the clan to the next in a sacred ritual that allows the Zanpakuto to bond to its new weilders and grant them the power accumulated with generations.
But for course, everything has it's cost.
Byakuya was not the head of the Kuchiki clan when his father Sojun died prematurely and make Byakuya the orphan heir apparent as an adolescent. He was not the head when he met Hisana in a grove of cherry trees in the middle of harvest, and fell in love with her He was not the head when he had a terrible row with his grandfather Ginrei and the rest of the clan elders about his elopement. He was not the head five years later, when on a cold spring morning before the plum trees had blossomed, Hisana died of a miscarriage.
One week later, when the plum trees bloomed and the cherry trees had budded, Byakuya came to his grandfather, head bowed and heart broken, and agreed to take up the mantle of Clan Head. His soul had already been torn in half, what was another half?
Everything has it's cost, and the price of Senbonzakura's power is the sacrifice of the weilder's own original Zanpakuto spirit, and by transference, the imminent death of the previous head.
He had known this day was coming, ever since his own native Zanpakuto spirit failed to awaken at the academy. At the time, he'd thought it a mercy that the poor thing wouldn't awaken and be aware of being devoured. But now, as he held the tiny, warm body of the spirit out to Senbonzakura, he could only think of the child he never got to hold.
...with Senbonzakura, at least, she'd be at rest with something beautiful that loved her.
Because Senbonzakura loves it's family, and in particular it adores Byakuya. It has, ever since Byakuya fearlessly climbed it's branches as a small boy, since he partook of the sword's fruits as a young man, and now, when Byakuya offered the most precious parts of himself to the sword with a sense of peace and profound trust. And Senbonzakura repays that trust in kind.
The sword's shikai release is the same, or at least similar for all it's wielders, but long-term friends of the family note that that is a LOT MORE blades than the sword ever summoned for Ginrei or any other head.
The Bankai is different every time. Senbonzakura is ready to give Byakuya whatever Bankai he wants immediately, but it's not until after he adopts Rukia and sees her fooling around in the family orchards when she thinks he isn't watching that he realizes the shape it should be.
It's name is "Senbonzakura: Sakura no Kaju-en" and it is beautiful and terrible.
Sakura no Kaju-en requires only that Byakuya pierce the flesh of his enemy or the terrain around him with one or more of his petal-blades. Once in the ground or embedded in flesh, the blade is transformed into a seed and an entire magical cherry tree grows from it, converting the Reishi and spiritual energy around it into its own mass. Since Byakuya is effectively wielding somewhere around 10,000 petal blades in his shikai alone, he can summon up to 10,000 devouring cherry trees, which will radically alter the landscape of battle and blossom into millions and millions of new petal-blades.
That is, unless his foe is unfortunate enough to have the blades penetrate their flesh. Then the trees will devour them as they grow. Even a truly massive opponent like Yammy can be mulched in minutes.
The trees initially blossom almost white, but as his enemies are felled and Senbonzakura drinks, the blooms grow pinker and then redder until they transform into deep crimson fruits.
It's a brutal Bankai, but a beautiful one. When Byakuya looks out upon the blooming landscape and tastes the sweet fruits of his efforts, it brings him peace to know the small, sleeping spirit he had to sacrifice is playing somewhere within, they way he saw Rukia playing in the family orchards that day.

The Kuchiki Clan:
A grandpa who's too tired for this shit (Ginrei)
A pretty unknown woman who's portrayed at least as loving her husband (Unnamed Aunt)
ONE idiot (who married into the family) who majorly fucked up (Kōga)
A cinnamon roll, too pure for the Soul Society (Sojun)
An unknown woman who, taking in account her husband was the cinnamon roll, must have been a good person (Unnamed mom)
An autistic dork who makes too many promises because he's that fucking loyal to his loved ones
A mistake that ended up causing the plot point for the Soul Society Arc. Dead On Arrival (Hisana)
A gremlin who's also a dork. Hero worships her big brother.
Some parts of the fandom and Kubo himself:
"Bad people! Cold and detached. Maimed the Soul King (Thousands of years ago. Other people who are dead and don't contribute for the story. )
The Shiba Clan:
ONE actually good person that died way before Bleach even begins. The one who actually resembles Ichigo in various manners. (Kaien)
One lazy ass, lying asshole, who deserted his family, his Squad and was a mediocre father. Likes to peek under one of his daughter's underwear 🤢 . Keeps important secrets from his son. (Isshin)
A violent woman who mistreats her brother and basically everyone around. Loud and rude. As ONE useful ability. (Kūkaku)
One loudmouth, rude, violent man who's been pretty much abused by his big sister, because apparently Shiva's are supposed to be raised by punching and insulting them. (Ganju)
The kindest soul in that family. Married into the family. Origin unknown but Anime version looks a bit too much with young Byakuya... (Miyako)
Everyone and their mother:
"Such good people... See? They helped Ichigo when he arrived in Soul Society... They didn't think maiming the Soul King was necessary" (Didn't stop it either, but...)
Do you see the irony?

I think Byakuya would've had significantly less psychological issues if he had/grew up with biological siblings. The harshly negative spotlight of being the only son of a Kuchiki who's already been deemed a failure by his father for being sickly and not fit for battle has absolutely fucked him up.

I've written about how when Bount devour the Souls of beings with supernatural properties (such as Shinigami, Quincy, etc), they can 'Vampirize' or take on aspects of the techniques/abilities that were tied to those Souls, but what does that translate out to for Jin? How, in Jin's canon for this blog, does this apply to him?
For Jin, there's three notable instances;
— During the later portions of Jin's main verse (we're talking Post CFYOW , like, No Breaths From Hell adjacent times), Jin kills and devours the Soul of Zennosuke Kurumadani, giving him access to some of their Zanpakuto Spirit's (Tsuchinamazu) abilities. Given the fact that Zennosuke was not... a very powerful Shinigami, the abilities Jin gained from their Zanpakuto Spirit are far weaker than anything he already possessed, but the utility of having even low-level earth-manipulating techniques is still useful to have alongside his uber crazy wind shenanigans.
— At some point in the past, long ago, Pre-TBTP, during the last 'Quincy Extermination' carried out by the Shinigami, Jin (who once again found himself allied with a group of Quincy) killed and devoured the Soul of a certain Kuchiki Clan member, and its eventually revealed in the present timeline that this Kuchiki was Sojun, Byakuya's father (this also leads to some juicy heightened stakes and tension between Byakuya and Jin.)
The exact nature of the abilities Jin gained from Sojun's associated Zanpakuto Spirit are vague, but they have something to do with 'blade-petals' similar to Byakuya's Senbonzakura, only far weaker and with a wind element thrown in. Serves as another useful utility and a little boost to Jin's inherent wind related techniques and abilities (could be the source for Jin's Black Winds technique).
— During the same incident that led to the death of Sojun Kuchiki long ago, Jin killed and devoured the Soul of Shinigami Seizen Suzunami, Shinji Hirako's predecessor in the Captaincy of the 5th Division (this also maybe sets a bit of history up between Jin, Shinji, and Aizen as well). The Zanpakuto Spirit that was linked to Seizen's Soul (Shiden) would end up giving Jin access to decently powerful lightning-based abilities and techniques that greatly augment and blend in with those his Doll was already capable of, especially since Seizen was a wielder of Bankai.
However, the main benefit Jin got from devouring Seizen's Soul was the ability to access some lighting-based techniques without having to go through the full summoning process of his Doll, (though the techniques he can utilize with a fully summoned Doll are of course more powerful).
Should be noted too that some of this does vaguely carry over into Jin's various AU's as well, but when all is said and done Jin still mainly relies on his innate abilities and the abilities of his Doll-- everything else are just feathers in his cap so to speak.

おやすみ sfw. byakuya kuchiki x f! reader.
✦ a cute scenario of a dream I had. I wrote it some time ago. Please enjoy. おやすみ (oyasumi) means goodnight. ✦ tw: none. write some headcanons about Sojun and Byakuya's mother. the banner contains an edited panel from ch. 179 by me. He isn't smiling in the original one. ✦ wc: 1.3k
Tumblr media
The eyes of endless night skies feel dry and tired. His eyelids become heavy, his back hurts. Delicate hands, sleek fingers, hold the pen and one by one the papers get the fancy swirls of his signature plastered in them.
Captain Kuchiki isn’t used to yawning; however, this time he does. He realizes how much of an useful lieutenant Renji can be when is gone.
Byakuya stops for a second to look outside. It’s already really dark, but the bright silver light of the moon kisses the soft, ethereal, and ephemeral buds of Hanami.
He asks himself how might Rukia be? Is she safe? Is she enjoying the flowers with Renji? The captain sighs. The kids have grown up and now they are spending some free days in the world of the living for nothing else than their own honeymoon.  
A soft smile appears on his lips. Tired eyes that also soften. Nobody sees him smile, and that’s exactly how it should be. An everlasting seriousness that shows how noble, calm, and collected the head of the clan is.
But… how much he wished he could smile with her…
The rustling of the trees outside slowly lull the captain to a sleepy state in which there is no coming back. But he doesn’t want to go to bed; Byakuya believes it’s not fair. He must finish, or, he wouldn’t get the right to sleep tight on his own big, comfortable bed.
He, also, is aware that in such state he won’t be able to do a proper work. So, he drags himself to the big seat that has belonged to every head clan; It’s bigger than a normal seat, in which more than one person could fit… but, ironically, it is only allowed just for a single person to sit… but not always, not always that had been the case.
The long-haired noble collapses on it. Just a cushion lies next to him; he grabs it. His delicate hands squeeze and grip tight to the velvety fabric. He remembers how sometimes, while being a kid, he enjoyed sleeping with his head lying on Sojun’s lap. He remembers how his dad would tell him about his daily adventures as a Lieutenant, while played with his hair until he would fall into the oneiric world with a sweet smile on his round face.
He also remembers how, most of the times, his dad would fall asleep as soon as he did. And how, his mother, would cover both of them with a mantle of knitted love, kissing their foreheads to wish them goodnight.  
Byakuya shakes his head. This lack of sleep is making his eyes get watery. Yes, it has to be the lack of sleep…
Soon, his heavy eyelids win against Byakuya’s attempts for keeping them up. And he drifts so peacefully into a much-needed sleep session.
The paperwork doesn’t feel heavy on your arms as the way your heart does when you see his face.
“He looks so peaceful there” you think, watching the most beautiful soul your eyes have seen sleeping right in front of you. You let the paperwork over his deck and cross your arms. Smiling, you enjoy the low rumble of his pale lips barely spread and the sound of his deep breathing filling the night.
You wish, you pray, for life to give you at least a single chance to kiss him. But you know, a simple officer couldn’t. You are so sure Byakuya Kuchiki belongs to a woman who will never come back, but whose hand he will never let go off.
Sighing, you turn around to see if you can find something to cover him up. Spring is right around the corner, but nights are still chilly. You notice his frowning intensifying. Probably he is sensing your spiritual pressure, but, even so, he is so tired he can’t wake up.
You notice the tip of a crochet knitted something on one of the many racks his office has. On tippy toes, you are able to reach for it. It falls on your face, and it’s dusty. With all your willpower, you avoid sneezing.
Inspecting the clothe in your hand, you identify it as a blanket. Perfect to give him some comfort and fly away as soon as you have covered him with it. You don’t want him to feel less in control, and much less for him to see you as a nosy officer.
“This should do” you think, opening the blanket while coming closer to his inert body. Byakuya’s head has tilted to the side in a sluggish way, and you worry for his neck. However, the only cushion still remains tightly gripped by his hands.
With love and utmost care not to wake him up, you cover him with the knitted mantle. He immediately toss a little and lets go off the cushion to snuggle to the blanket. It makes you beam… after all, it’s just like a child.
“Goodnight, Kuchiki Taicho” you whisper, approaching your hand to his forehead yet without touching him. The tip of your fingers hurt from how much they wished they were at least grazing his skin. Your lips too.
Byakuya suddenly pulls your hand to stop you from leaving. You gasp. It certainly scares you.
“Why?” he asks, sleepy, with a raspier voice than ever. “Wh- what?” you ask back, blinking rapidly but not as fast as your heartbeats.
He pulls you closer, with enough strength for you to fall on his lap. You widen your eyes, Byakuya is probably still asleep, this isn’t- this is just a dream...
“Why, from all the things you could have chosen to cover me up… you chose this blanket?” he inquires you, showing you, he is completely awake and that the scent of his skin lingering so close to your nose is indeed real life.
“I- I… I saw it there and it was soft and warm… I thought- please forgive me Kuchiki taicho!” you mumble, trying to stand up. But his arms have you trapped. And you don’t really want them to let you go.
Byakuya looks into your eyes. His eyes in which you wished you could always reflect, have finally noticed your façade. He grabs one of the edges of the blanket and covers you with it. Now, both are under it… and it feels warm, and full of love and like if you were inside a bubble where nothing mattered except the both of you.
He takes his silky hand to your face, placing it like how a butterfly poses on top of a flower. “Forgive me for what I am about to do. But…” he murmurs, coming closer to your lips. You can barely breathe. No oxygen seems to be flowing to your brain, you feel lightheaded, confused, and yet again like in a dream.
A kiss on your cheek, close to your commissure.
“Thank you. Thank you so much” he whispers, watching the way you bite your lower lip absolutely clueless. “You can go if you want. Again, please forgive me. I didn’t mean to do anything aga-“
You cut him short. If he had the right to pull you so unexpectedly, to kiss your cheek so deadly and faintly. Then, fairness is that you have your chance too.  
Your lips crash against his forehead, surprising him to no extent. But he isn’t mad, he just hugs you closer to his chest. “You…?” he asks you, and there is no need for more words. You simply understand…
Yes, Byakuya… me too, you have no idea how much I wanted to kiss you, to hug you, to love you.
“Yes… you?” you ask back, placing your hand on his shoulder, snuggling closer, getting comfortable on his lap.
He looks down, his cheeks, for the very first time, give you the gift of seeing them blushed. “Yes…” he confesses. Whether is that meaning love, attraction, need, or who knows what, you don’t really mind.
What only matters now, is to enjoy his lips against yours. The warmth of the blanket that smells just like him. The protective embrace of Kuchiki taicho’s arms around your waist… the smile after the kiss, a smile you will never forget. A smile he wanted to gift…
Goodnight, (Name)… Goodnight, Byakuya-sama…
