Fill out the angst application below.

Basics

NAME: Ichigo Kurosaki

AGE:  Young adult

SPECIES:  Human. But also a literal mutt

bold what applies (italicize what somewhat applies)

drinker ; smoker ; done / does drugs ; knows what a broken heart feels like  ; has committed a crime ;suffers a physical disability ; suffers a mental disorder ; has experienced severe trauma

Details

BIGGEST FEAR: Hands down, no surprises, his biggest fear is being powerless to protect/keep/help the people in his life. Or the more angsty flip side of this, being directly responsible for their deaths. This especially applies to his family and friends, but extends to almost anyone in front of him. He has a lot of growth in this area as the story progresses. Toward the beginning, he tended to sideline his friends when they wanted to fight. He did the fighting, he took the damage. That was his acceptable risk. He learned over time that he can’t just fight in place of other people, because they need their own battles to grow. He has to respect their decisions and growth. Eventually we see him leaving battles to other people and walking away entirely. Good for him.

RECURRING NIGHTMARE: No recurring nightmare. He has a recurring theme. See above. Everyone seems to think Ichigo would have nightmares of Hueco Mundo, but my Ichigo really doesn’t. Occasionally maybe. Definitely he would have had awful nightmares of his hollow, except he never had the chance. Tensa called him on his fear and made him deal with it nearly immediately in the timeline. Then he had no powers. He does dream about it, but that’s not what his dreams are about. They’re about his loss of control, loss of power, loss of his ability to protect, and of instead becoming the thing that causes loss and destruction and all the things he wants to protect people from.

SOMETHING YOU MISS:   The security he felt as a child/ the belief that things will be okay

BIGGEST REGRET: He has so many it's hard to pick.

A SECRET:  Pretty sure it’s everyone else keeping the secrets BUT he does tend to isolate/withdraw to keep his shit from affecting those closest to him.

Pick one

fire                            or         water

mother                     or          father

to hurt                   or          be hurt

eerie                         or           gory

unrequited love         or           no love

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

Being neurodivergent is just having a Demicolon attached to every single sentence that comes out of your mouth.

For those who don't know what a Demicolon is:

What if Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy swapped cutie-marks, but their personalities stayed the same?

Thinking about sitting on someone’s lap and holding my legs all spread out. Them playing with my cock so slowly, as they swirl their fingers against my cunt. “You get so wet, do you see how much of you is on my fingers”? As they lift their hand to show the string of cum connecting their digits and my cunt, and all l can do is whine and feel myself throb. They go back to toying with my cunt praising me, “Such a good boy, being so nice around my fingers”. “Such a pretty thing, makes me want to play with your wet cunt all the time”. “Such a pretty boy”.

i cant stop thinking about laying your head on jonathan price's furry belly after he's made you come so hard that you almost passed out, feeling him breathe in long, heady drags of his cigar, too cock-drunk to nag him about smoking in bed. and how the sheets would just barely be covering his half-hard prick, girthy and fat and soaked in both of your sticky fluids, smelling like sex and leaking all over his skin. and how he would know that you were staring at it, and he'd peel back the sheets just a little bit, letting his drooling head peek out from underneath, purposefully pulsing it right under your nose, teasing you with it, trying to get you to lick him clean. and maybe his free hand starts petting your hair, moving it out of your face, running his huge palm over your forehead just so sweetly and innocently. and maybe you lean forward a bit because, you know, it's right there, and he's being so careful with you. and maybe you barely plant a soft kiss on his tip, still wet and sensitive and swollen, and all of his salty come rubs off onto your lips like gloss, making them slip and slide as you suckle as gently as you can across his cockhead. and the sound that he makes when you finally take him into your mouth is just a perfect, gravelly purr.

Tumblr is the greatest social media platform because this is literally the only site where I can casually imply that the proper plural of "Spider-Man" is "Spiders-Men" and get absolutely zero pushback.

Tim: “I need to tell you something”

Bruce: “What did you do??”

Tim: “when Alfred was doing our taxes he noticed a missing check”

Bruce: “what did you do???”

Tim: “Before I answer do you trust me enough to understand that it was for a good reason and just leave it at that?”

Bruce: “What. Did. You. Do.”

Tim: “it’s all Jason’s fault! He is a BAD person, I’ve been telling you for years!”

Bruce to Jason: “WHAT DID YOU DO?”

Jason: “okay now before I answer that-“

Bruce: “just tell me whatcha did”

Jason: “I got a DUI”

Bruce: “Jason!”

Jason: “it’s not as bad as it sounds”

Bruce: “How is driving drunk not bad???”

Jason: “I wasn’t exactly driving”

Bruce: “I don’t follow.”

Jason: “I was at the bar with Damian and I had a few”

Bruce: “DAMIAN?!”

Damian: “With God as my witness I’ve never been to that bar in my life.”

Jason: “He knows.”

Damian: “Oh I’ve been there a bunch”

Saw these tags in a reblog of my Chinese museum posts, and thought I have to make a response just so everyone is clear on how archaeological studies are carried out in China:

^Well, the Shaanxi Archaeology Museum is a Chinese museum displaying artifacts found in China, it's not the British Museum lol.

But anyway just so everyone knows, modern Chinese archaeology has a rule, which is that unless it's absolutely necessary, an ancient tomb/mausoleum should not be disturbed. This means that many of these artifacts in the museums are found in a few main ways:

Tombs that absolutely had to be excavated because there were clear signs of grave robbing present, for example when tunnels left by grave robbers were found near a known tomb. This is called "excavating to rescue" (抢救性发掘), it's done by teams of archaeologists, the artifacts found will then be studied and eventually find a home in museums in China. In comparison, actual grave robbers would steal artifacts and sell them for money; many stolen artifacts would end up in auctions, mostly outside of mainland China. This is why there is no "general positive sense" in the phrase "grave robbing with grant money" when it comes to archaeology in China. Modern Chinese archaeology and grave robbing are simply not comparable in any way whatsoever.

Tombs that absolutely had to be excavated because new infrastructure will be built in that location. Such exacavations are also included in excavating to rescue. Examples include tombs in Xi'an city that had to be excavated because a metro was being built. Since Chinese people and Chinese culture are native to China, there are no ethical problems whatsoever, this simply a question of what matters more, the welfare of living Chinese people or the abstract afterlives of ancient Chinese people. Obviously, the welfare of living Chinese people is a more important matter. As for the argument of "but this goes against traditional culture", first, a culture is only alive if the people of that culture is alive and doing well, otherwise that culture is as good as dead; second, a major part of traditional Chinese culture IS focused on the welfare of descendants (ex: the belief that the spirits of ancestors will protect their descendants), so I'm sure our ancestors would be proud to see us doing well.

Tombs that were excavated because archaeologists were absolutely sure that artifacts discovered within would make major contributions to the study of Chinese history. This is pretty much the only exception to the rule of "excavating to rescue", and it is very rarely allowed. An example is the Xia-Shang-Zhou Chronology Project (夏商周断代工程), where the main focus is to gain a clearer picture of the timeline of ancient Chinese history, when dynasties began/ended, when major events may have happened, etc.

Artifacts that were found when arresting grave robbers. These are called "recovered artifacts" (追回文物).

Artifacts that returned to China from foreign countries, these are called "returned artifacts" (回归文物). A big portion of these artifacts ended up in foreign countries precisely because of grave robbers, and another big portion were and are still lost for the same reason as why the British Museum has so many artifacts from around the world.

Artifacts that were discovered scattered throughout China. There are three facts to consider here: 1) China has a long history and as a result, there are vast amounts of existing artifacts; 2) tombs are material things and thus are subject to the elements; 3) not everyone is an archaeologist. Combine these, and you have situations were valuable artifacts were found in places like the chicken coop of a farmer (this is how the eagle-shaped pottery ding was found).

Donations. Some artifacts were family heirlooms that were donated to museums.
