#ever since I had desire to try make amv

you know what, I give up to remove that watermark

As the video was clearly shown, it’s my first time I’ve been attempted to make an AMV. Every time I heard that song, for some reason my brain always connect it to Might Guy, especially 8th gate Might Guy. Maybe because this song gives me warm protectiveness feeling. I hope that anyone more skilled than me will make a nice edit about Guy with that song, but, well, I am getting impatient.

I’ve downloaded many videos, but in the end so little that I’ve been used because the song is only less than 4 minutes. I have no idea that Kakashi has that many damsel in distress moment with Guy as his shining knight haha

again, i dont think that that common thread of thought in regards to ichigo and bleach is a fair assessment/a fairly surface level read of events. protecting people is certainly an important aspect of ichigos identity and character mind you, but in practical application hes more of a yusuke urameshi type of character then a more traditional cut that characters like luffy or naruto pull from. -

- that is the emotional journey is more important then the physical journey. not to say kubo doesnt fuck it up in a lot of ways, but to say ichigo is just some dull guy with a protection complex papers over the very much a complex part of that statement that drives a lot of ichigos internal conflict. his natural desire to help and protect others coming into conflict with self preservation and his-

-own delinquent tendencies and general disinterest in pushing himself to the extreme. its why hollow ichigo is fairly important in that regard as a reflection of ichigos literal internal struggle with power and using it responsibly coming at odds with taking the easy way out

sorry, im not tryin to spam you here and i had a lot more to say on the subject then i thought i did, but to summarize as much as kubo fucks up especially once aizens out of the picture, there is a pretty consistent throughline for ichigo as a character that struggles with a lot of internal divisions especially in regards to how to use the power hes been given and resolving conflicting aspects-

archer3-13

-within himself. and as much as it often feels like it copys from yuyuhakusho, i can appreciate that kubo wanted to try his hand at it.

Not to keep going on about Bleach on the Naruto blog I just...if Ichigo's journey is an emotional one I'm REALLY not seeing it. What's the difference emotionally between Ichigo at the beginning and ending of each arc. Ichigo seems to only react to the events that happen to him rather than mature or regress as a person.

If we want to bring up Luffy his journey is mostly physical maybe, but there is emotionality there too. I think maybe it can get missed because Oda makes a point to not give Luffy thoughts ever, but he is maturing emotionally throughout the series and becoming more of a Captain. I mean the point of Sabaody through Marineford is basically to destroy Luffy emotionally because he's a small fish in a big pond and you're going to need more than gumption to make it through. (one day I'll do a thing where I compare Naruto saying he can't be hokage vs when Luffy says he can't be Pirate King bc woof)

Ichigo...once again not seeing the internal struggle. Like I think about how Ichigo doesn't want to do the Soul Reaper duties then he sees a kid in front of him about to get killed by a Hollow and Rukia tells him not to help because he said he didn't want to do it. Then he helps the kid and says he can't just let a kid die and I guess I owe you and I'm a cool guy who repays his debts so I'll help you. And that moment came off to me more like he won't tell Rukia she's right. And I also get the thing where Ichigo tries to act cooler than he is, but it's not well conveyed other than a couple early throwaway lines. And if the hollow is supposed to be like him fighting himself it's kind of ruined by the Trying Too Hard To Be/Look Cool thing shounen does (nine-tailed fox, hollow, anything the we used to make AMVs set to Animal I've Become to) and the hollow coming out during training arcs when I think we should all agree as a society training arcs suck and in the middle of a fight which ruins the pacing just ruins any nuance that might have for me. I'm up way past my bedtime and I need to sleep since I have work so this might not make sense idk. I'd probably have to actually make a Bleach blog to properly convey all my thoughts about how Ichigo is dull and I don't get the point.

puppyshipping and then azureship

Puppy shipping:

when I started shipping it if I did:my thoughts:I started shipping Seto and Jonouchi around middle school, sixth grade. That was the peak of my really weird times. I had to hide my Yu-gi-oh! Knowledge and “obsession” from everyone. I did a great job of it in the end. I was too busy as a performing arts kid to ever gush about Puppy Shipping, my legacy and self image was on the line so having people know about me shipping two fictional men was going to bring me down. My middle school was not the best. Trust me.

What makes me happy about them:Jou is a literal ball of sunshine while Seto is very calm and reserved. They are polar opposites in terms of personality. I love it when they get all up on their own terms until someone has stepped over the line. I know that sounds weird but despite their oppositions, they both go hand in hand. They complement each other really well.

What makes me sad about them:Oh boy, Angst. Both of them had fathers that did horrible things to them. Obviously Seto had it much worse than Jonouchi. I wish the anime or I don’t know something else Yu-gi-oh! DM related would just have Seto and Jonouchi have some sort of civil talk between the both of them without teasing or arguing, just the both of them talking about their fathers and how it shaped them. How they both have younger siblings they love so much, how much burden they had to carry in the family, how much they had to hold and look at them as if everything was okay but nothing was.

things done in fanfic that annoys me:I have read a few Puppy Shipping Fanfictions thanks to a friend of mine (WINK WONK 👌), I don’t remember much from middle school at all. This is a rather tricky question because most do a fine job with them both. I guess it will have to be the fact that they toss their younger siblings to the side and mainly focus on the point that its mainly all on them. That is the whole point I understand that but please, Do not forget that Seto has a younger brother who is most likely just starting freshmen year in highschool and that Jonouchi has a younger sister who might as well be a junior or senior in highschool. Let them contribute to their overall relationship. Let the younger siblings be the drawing line. “ What will Mokuba or Shizuka think if I am dating this man who knows so little of me. What will they think of me? “

things I look for in fanfic:Respect. I do not expect them to start having sexual desires and even start sexual intercouse so soon.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: As much as I am a Puppy Shipper, I do see them more as best friends who still get rather preppy with each other by this point. Where Seto has stopped calling him a mutt and refers to call him by his last name and where Jounouchi still can go either way addressing Seto with his last name or first name.

My happily ever after for them:They acknowledge each other as strong duelists and most of this question can be answered by what I said in the previous question and my input, BUT, If they are married.Seto and Jonouchi take turns being the trophy “wife”, They try their best to get each other the best birthday or anniversary presents but Seto usually wins. Where they would even have a civil chat about adoption and Seto likes the sound of that but time will tell, They both have to be ready for the responsibility of a child.

who is the big spoon/little spoon:Seto is the big spoon. He is taller than Jonouchi and Jonouchi is the little spoon. They will take turns obviously and they also would take turns being the dominant one.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:Oh boy, another trick question. Dueling I guess. They both try to prove they are stronger. “ What do you mean your Red Eyes Black Dragon is better than my Blue Eyes White Dragon? Preposterous! “I also see them taking each other to restaurants and trying their best not to look so romantic, they would wait till they got home and then the fireworks ensue.

Azure shipping:

when I started shipping it if I did:my thoughts:I started shipping Seto and Anzu way back in my Elementary school days. I remember sitting in a round table as me and some of the squad and we talked about Yu-gi-oh! And how they all shipped Yugi and Anzu together because it was the most popular ship. I was too busy shipping Yugi and Yami or better known as Atem at that time so I was like UM NO I DISAGREE MY DUDES. I love Azure Shipping but the fandom who ships them is really small, which is great but it is sometimes sad.  Actually, I remember watching some short AMV of Azure shipping back in middle school, the one with the colors that would turn the picture into a slew of rainbow and the song was bring me to life because that was THE song to make an AMV to.

What makes me happy about them:They did not have too many memorable moments in the anime together and never got to have a long exchange of words together alone and most likely never will in the DM universe. Anyways,Anzu is very preppy while Seto is more reserved. Anzu is just outgoing while Seto is please no, Don’t talk to me. They work together really well. I love Anzu and she is just a queen, A dancing queen. Seto is a king, a high and mighty king. Both are literally self-image royalty and that is great.NEXT.

What makes me sad about them:The fact that the shipping fandom is small, haha.Anzu is so nice to Mokuba and that is always a great thing. She would make a great friend to Seto since she is on good terms with Seto’s younger brother and Mokuba seems to trust Anzu a lot so Seto should have been on some good terms with her since Mokuba trusts her. Seto should have had more interactions with her but the staff and everyone else was really shipping Yugi and Anzu together at the speed of light because it is informed out there that Yugi likes Anzu a lot. That is fine if you are a Peach Shipper, I love Peach shipping just as much as Azure Shipping but Seto got the short end of the stick with friends. Itis in his character not to trust anyone or even have friends but I feel like if he were to tarnish that, Anzu would be his first choice as a friend.

things done in fanfic that annoys me:Most Azure stories I read are good but one thing has made me rather upset and that is,Most never write Anzu and Seto having some Pas de deux together. No dancing. If you are super into Seto being a lousy dancer, Let Anzu laugh at that“ Anyone can dance, all you have to do is try. “ I do not expect Seto to be a principal dancer straight off the bat, I just want them to dance together, let them have fun. They deserve that much. I am a ballet dancer so it really upsets me.

things I look for in fanfic:Respect. I do not expect them to start having sexual desires and even start sexual intercouse so soon.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Best friends who call and text about their day and gush about the things they love to each other. Friends that would buy each other things if wanted or needed. Anzu would ask where Mokuba is because she loves him so much and so does Mokuba so Seto brings along Mokuba and it’s just Mokuba really happy and Anzu listening to Mokuba as he tells her of all the things he did at school and what Seto did. I would also like Seto to refer to her using her first name actually while Anzu would still address Seto with his first name too. A lot of fanfictions I have read of Azure shipping do this so I guess it has left a lasting impression to me.

My happily ever after for them:This is a trick question for me but I will try my best to answer this question to the best of my ability. If they were to get married then I see Anzu as the best wife who knows her boundaries and knows how to treat a man who has gone through so much right. She will know how to ease his stress and pain. She will still have a deep lover for dance. I STRONGLY HC her going to New York and and getting in the New York City Ballet Company and making her way up to principal dancer, Seto would visit her and help her out even in terms of moral support but one day her body could no longer take it, she had to stop. She knew the day would come but never so soon. She then gets married to Seto because he loves her so much and she loves him.Seto treats Anzu with respect and lavishes her with fine jewelry and clothing and he takes her out on romantic dates, He would do the Will smith pose to her if he could and WEHHH!!! I could go on for hours so I will stop here.

who is the big spoon/little spoon:Seto is the big spoon. He is taller than Anzu, Anzu is tiny and her body is constantly aching from the strain of dance so Seto treats her body, He patches up her feet. He reminds her to take her supplements and pain killers. He does so much for her.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:Oh boy, another trick question. Dinner dates, Dancing, Sitting at a cafe as they talk about how they have been and what not. Anzu taking Seto to go see a ballet, Seto coming to one of Anzu’s performances and presenting her with this huge bouquet of roses that have a huge flower meaning puzzle to them and letting Anzu figure out the puzzle, When she does she calls him and he always gets a chuckle out of it.I am sorry, I just love Azure shipping so much.
