DATES: Monday October 7th - Sunday October 13th

BLEACH is returning to our screens this year with cour 3 of the anime in October. Once again, let’s celebrate by getting together and creating things that include the characters, ships, and friendships we love!

THE EVENT

This is an open-character (canon, anime-only, and ocs) and mostly* open-ship (platonic and romantic) event that will accept submissions of fanart, fanfiction, edits, gif sets, and headcanons. This is also a SFW event and late submissions posted up to the end of October (11:59pm Thursday October 31st) will be included.

This time it’ll be a typical fandom week, with each day having three themes and prompts for you to choose from. You will need to create a piece based one of the themes on each day, or take up the challenge to base it on more than one. If you’re unsure of how this event works, you can visit the rules & guidelines page for more information.

*Please see rule 7 in the Rules & Guidelines page.

THEMES & PROMPTS

Day 1: Fave Character / Division / Save the One Save the All Day 2: Hunter / A Missing Scene / Unlikely Pairs Day 3: Shikai / Fave Friendship / Black Hole Disco Day 4: Halloween/ Volume Cover / Comforts Day 5: Cup Half Empty, Cup Half Full / Recognizing Reiatsu / Black and Blue Day 6: Six moments or characters** / Defeated / In Another Life Day 7: Crossover / War Cry / Aftermath

**full title of the theme is 'Six moments that a character holds dear (Or a moment six characters hold dear)'

If you need some inspiration for the themes or are just unsure what a particular theme is, you can check out the prompts page for ideas and explanations.

Please read the Rules and Guidelines page here when you have time. If you have any questions that aren’t answered there, you can message me on this blog.

Let’s make this another amazing celebration everyone! :D

Bleach Hanakotoba Analysis Part 1 ~ OP16: Scar & ED31: Saihate

○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○

Ichigo Kurosaki -> Gloriosa

Aside from the 13 other flowers—which are associated with each of the Soul Society’s thirteen court guard squads respectively—the Gloriosa is also pictured in Bleach’s sixteenth opening theme song. The Gloriosa is also called the glory lily, flame lily and climbing lily. It is known as Gurorioosa (グロリオサ) in Japanese. Its hanakotoba meanings are glory and bravery. In English floriography, they also symbolise passion, purity, beauty and pride. Its name is derived from the Latin word “gloriosus” which means splendid. This name was inspired by its bright, fiery colouration and majestic, wave-like petals. The symbolism invoked by the Gloriosa not only greatly commemorates Bleach’s grand return with the TYBW arc—but also greatly complements Ichigo’s character. Ichigo’s name means to “protect one thing” and he has lived up to his name by bravely fighting in a number of glorious battles to protect those important to him.

[P.S. I didn't cover any of the other flowers featured in this opening since I feel like their meanings are common knowledge amongst the Bleach fandom already since they are the insignia of the Gotei 13... But if you guys want me to cover them properly, then I can in another post. So let me know in the comments...]

Hello! I saw your recent art of sabo, and in the tags you mentioned the big 3 of Shounen. I know it’s One piece and Naruto, but what’s the third? How come you like the character? Lovely artwork, it’s candy for the soul!! Thank you •u•

Ah thank you!!! The big three of shonen (for I guess the previous generation?) are Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach. Naruto and Bleach have already ended but it seems like One Piece is still going quite strong, despite the new generation of shonen anime (including Hero Aca, Demon Slayer, and the third spot is still debated! Probably JJK is my guess though that falls into its own sub genre of shonen dark fantasy I suppose)

Here are my favs! I’ll put the reasons why I like them in the read more because it’s quite long :)

Despite watching Naruto first I could never actually finish it because it was so long so I kind of just osmosed the later parts of shippuden through fanfics and other such media ^^; I think it’s pretty difficult to pick a definitive fav for Naruto because I feel like it tends to fumble a bit of its character writing? I think if I had to pick one maybe young Kakashi but still kind of eh. Maybe I just didn’t watch far enough to get attached

As for Bleach, I picked it up years ago around middle school and then dropped it after the first hundred episodes or so because filler got boring for younger me but then I picked it up again in high school and managed to at least get past aizen! And then I dropped it there because I wasn’t interested in any continuation after what seemed like an already pretty strong ending.

Toshiro is my favorite because he falls into all niches of character tropes that I enjoy including but not limited to: child genius who acts responsible but is still somewhat immature, cold personality along with ice powers but fierce loyalty to close relationships. I especially enjoy child genius characters for the contradictory dichotomy of what is expected of them in terms of maturity and knowledge and the amount of pressure these kinds of characters face and how they handle it! That said, I enjoy him more for the tropes that he falls into and my personal interpretation of him rather than canon writing for him. I think that though canon is an alright base, he doesn’t get much time to shine (character-wise instead of combat-wise).

And Sabo. Oh my goodness I am brainrotting so hard over Sabo right now. The ASL siblings in general have a vice grip on my heart and really are not letting go. There is so much tragedy in the way that they are written, that works because there are three of them. Ace and Luffy spend so much effort trying to save the only brother they have left in the world not realizing that if they go they’ll be the first to go actually because Sabo is still alive, and Sabo could have done so much and changed so much if only he had regained his memories sooner. Why didn’t he remember sooner? I can only assume it’s because he didn’t want to remember, because he grew out his hair to cover a scar he wasn’t proud of, because he was running away from his origins when he lost his memories and maybe that stuck with him. I don’t even remember when Sabo was introduced as a character because I don’t think he was mentioned during Marineford? But he’s such a compelling character because he does so much to save the world and yet is unable to save his own brother! And he’s written to fit with Ace and Luffy incredibly well, being the voice of reason where they can’t be.

BLEACH Anime Celebration 2024 - Theme and Prompt suggestions

Hello everyone,

It's that time of the year! The BLEACH Anime is returning in October, and it's time to celebrate it again! No idea what this event is? You can read more about it here.

In the last poll, the winner was to have a typical fandom week. I have released a new poll here for which week the event should be held in, so if you haven't already, please go and vote in that poll too!

In the meantime, I'm looking for theme and prompt suggestions. These can be anything, ranging from one word prompts to bits of dialogue to scenario prompts. Send in your theme suggestions through the asks or by pming this blog. You'll have until Tuesday 13 August to send them in.

As for how many themes/prompts there will per day, it will depend on how many suggestions I get. I may end up doing a poll for that as well, but first lets see how many suggestions come through.

I'm excited to be hosting this event again, and I hope you're just as excited to participate. Let's make this another great event! :D

Since I'm in a Bleach mood today, you ever think about the fact that Nanao's direct subordinate was this guy?

In hindsight, I'm certain whatever Shunsui was paying her probably wasn't enough.
