What we learned from the war
"Endings are hard" is a something of a truism, but it's borne out in Bleach, where every story arc besides after the first two stumbled at the finish (even the endings of the first two arcs don't really "end" so much as continue into a new story). In the Arrancar arc, the number of characters and plotlines got so overwhelming that an ending that had to be rushed if it was to arrive at all. In the Lost Agent arc, the characters were pared down, but the ending wound up thematically inconsistent with the story anyways, possibly due to real-life circumstances. And the Thousand-Year Blood War somehow managed to have both problems.
The change in direction from "tightly focused character drama" to "sprawling cast of soldiers" meant that it was unlikely to ever give us the development of our protagonist that we craved, and that lack of focus was only aggravated by the widely-reported health problems of the author. And yet, perhaps because we don't get that, because so little of this arc is filtered through Ichigo learning about himself, we get a much clearer statement of the values inherent in the work.
This is most evident in our antagonists for this Arc. Yhwach and the Wandenreich don't really have the relationship with Ichigo that previoius antagonists had. He never knew his Quincy heritage, never identified with their ideals, and so feels very little conflict about opposing them. He doesn't ever develop his Quincy powers, at least beyond integrating them with his already existing powerset. And he doesn't take much of a personal interest in Yhwach, who in turn, doesn't seem to think much of him when he's not directly in front of him.
But for all that Ichigo doesn't end up having much of a dynamic with them, the Wandenreich still manages to maintain a unique character. Every antagonist has a priority, something that they are willing to do great evil for. For Soul Society, it's its own existence, the continuation of the system they've built. For Aizen, it's his own self-aggrandizement. For the Fullbringers, it was simply living another day, screwing over others so that they can't screw you first. But the Wandenreich has no such priority. They simply want it all to end.
That's most obvious in Yhwach's ending monologue, but you can see it from the very beginning as he kills Yamamoto, the man who tried to move on from his bloody past being slaughtered by the man who would absolutely not let it go. Yhwach shows more emotion towards the skeletons of Argola and Huberdt, his dead soldiers from a war long lost, than he does towards any of his living subordinates. And his subordinates follow his lead in showing no love to one another, happily stabbing each other in the back without even the Arrancars' uneasy level of camaraderie. Their movement has no future, and neither do they, so nihilism is the only recourse.
Most of the time. I think it's important to note that every time a member of the Wandenreich expresses positive feelings towards one of their comrades, it's immediately followed by them turning on Yhwach. Liltotto, Bazz, Giselle, eventually, in her own twisted way…even Jugram, at the very end. Sure, Yhwach kills them for their impertinence (he is the bad guy), but he also massacres the Wandenreich faithful en masse. There's no salvation, only death, and he'll enforce that state on his followers rather than allow them to discover any alternative.
I imagine the lesson, and the general attitude of the Wandenreich, was not lost on Uryu Ishida. Even in his relative paucity of appearances, it's he who is at the moral center of the arc. His culture, which he had thought was nearly entirely dead, turns out to be alive, and out for vengeance against the people who exterminated them. It's something he probably fantasized about growing up, and I don't blame him for joining. How could he not?
But at the end, he makes the very easy choice. Calling it a matter of "life and death" is a little on the nose, but it's morally quite black and white. Yhwach has no hope for this world, or for his people within it, or even himself. He lost a war for the nature of existence to a monster a thousand years ago, and never got over it. But Uryu has the strength to look at the horrors of this world and yet hope for better. Because he has people he loves in life, and who love him in return, he can dream of a better tomorrow.
And that's what the ending is all about. Yhwach loses to Ichigo, and it is very much "good guy beats bad guy". But he also loses to Uryu, and to "I hope to have a family with my girlfriend who I love so much" Renji Abarai, and to "I have a tremendous amount of hope to eventually make myself king of everything" Sosuke Aizen, and eventually (in a way I'm still confused about mechanically) to the child Ichigo and Orihime will eventually have, the literal embodiment of the potential of the future.
The final villain of Bleach is not society's tendency to preserve itself at any human cost. It's not individual selfishness, or manipulativeness, or any of the many vices we saw embodied in the hollows throughout the series. It's despair, the idea that life might not be worth living even through all the struggles and horrors our protagonists have endured. Sure, it will always raise its head, sometimes at the most inconvenient, or ill-fitting times. But having its reincarnation be blown away by the supernaturally normal lives of our cast…well, that's as clear of a message as I can imagine.
#bleach#troius reads bleach#bleach meta#this turned out way more positive than I thought it would?#I dunno I guess I just think “choose life” is a pretty great message for a comic book aimed at teenagers#who would have thought the Wandenreich would win me over in the end#even if I still think their aesthetic is kinda silly

has anybody else thought about how jk could easily manage sofia's parts of slow dance or is it just me?
#jikook#bts#everybody is working to insert jk in who where i just don't see it (other than the seven parallels)#and not talking much about what i see as WAY more obvious nods most especially in rebirth#like jm sings about wanting to be worthy of someone - maybe someone who just became a huge SOLO global popstar?#and mentions 'real love' - what was the name of that chapter in the bangtan book again?#and the feminine pronouns not present it's just the nebulous 'you' that in jimin songs often stands in for 'army'#(and one very specific 'fan' who has said he is ALSO army)#it's the 'i wanna be with you'#the answer for jk's 'i am still' with its unspoken additional 'still with you' layer#and then we get slow dance and we're back to the nebulous 'you' - on an island he-#oh wait what was that about a pair that traveled to an island? and filmed some stuff there that we'll see soon? hm#the reason this set me off though is the lines about 'cancelling my plans' to live to 'the tempo of our favorite song'#the falling deep into lines etc etc#because we know what happens when those two get together - they lose track of time everything else fades away#it's why they haven't done lives. why 'you and me' are 'up all night' why jm knows that as soon as jk is around#his self-discipline will crack and he'll fall into the pattern he tried to head off by separating from jk while making face#and we *know* jimin wrote on this song#frankly if he *hadn't* gotten a female feature everybody would be JUMPING on this song as a jikook anthem#the inclusion of sofia works perfectly - like hammering the pin back in a grenade#but i was reading those lines and thinking how high she went and going who else could sing this ...?#huh. who do we know of who can sing *anything*? and who has a range that can hit and blend with jimin's perfectly?#so. i dunno. y'all do your delulu the way that works for you and i will do my delulu my way lol#personally i think the eyes in the mv look like a screenshot from the love wins all mv but that's only me#i think the parallels with seven work more#and speaking of parallels (there are so many) i think this album was built to ensure jm is on equal footing with a certain someone#it's the commerciality of it - as though jm was like we will be together in this as well#when he seems not to be super interested in global domination but still 'special' enough to be on the same level with his love

At this point Wednesday and Thursday are the highlights of my week like I’m vibrating with excitement when I know Wednesday at like 7 something I’ll be sitting down to giggle at my favorite show like I- 🤧
I don’t always watch d20 seasons as they’re airing but for fantasy high, it gets so woven into my schedule when a new one drops 👏 like not to get super sentimental (I’m absolutely going to in a read more. Plus the season is ending soon and I’m emo about it but also just excited in general to get all the answers) but this season really means a lot to me. Absolutely none of them will see this (thank god) but the intrepid heroes & BLeeM mean so much to me. They made a show that is so funny and beautiful and kind and so stupid at its core and it just goes to show how lovely they are. The impact they’ve made on the actual play community is so huge. For me a lot of actual play was very intimidating to get into because of huge backlogs or the kinds of stories being told weren’t for me but goddamn, d20 just hits on so many levels. In part due to the storytelling and also just holy shit everyone at the table shows up and cares so much about who they’re playing and their place in the world and the story they’re helping be told. It’s just 🤧💖 I hope one day I’m half the dnd player that Brennan, Emily, Lou, Murph, Siobhan, Zac, and Ally are. They truly inspire me so much.

**TW For SA, trauma, mental health + personal shit etc under the cut**
I stopped watching d20 for a long while. Give or take a year or two? I know it was around the zoom season era. Me and A guy I was really close friends with bonded over dnd and d20 and it was one of the main things we had in common. The night he SA’d me we were watching FH S1 from the beginning. And I think that kinda.. like I didn’t watch d20 because it brought up a lot of thoughts of him and that night and just so much ptsd.
D20 was my favorite form of escapism during hard times and it really sucked to lose that for so long. When d20 Junior year was announced I decided it was time to get back into the show because I missed it and I loved it and I couldn’t let him make me so scared that I never went back to what gave me so much joy. I introduced the show to him in the first place, I could reclaim.
I watched freshman year after I dropped out of art school because my parents and I couldn’t afford another loan and I was really lost. It took my mind off a lot of it thankfully.
Sophomore year aired when I started going to community college. I had a night-time psych class that would end about half an hour before the streams would start so it gave me motivation to get through it because I had something to look forward to after. Now junior year is airing while I’m dealing with a lot of health stuff + depression + job stress (now that I write it all out, both college stresses passed and I did end up getting a decent-ish, albeit very shitty job in graphic design, so I know there’s light at the end of the tunnel so to speak, this’ll pass)
I don’t know if they’ll ever do a senior year/graduation season but if they do, I’ll be there still excited and brimming with joy and anticipation for more d20 Wednesdays to come. 💖
#this is VERY personal but it’s also my blog who cares baybeee 🥵✌️#there’s not much that I watch while it’s airing#like I don’t watch a ton of tv either I mainly watch YouTube or I’ll pick a show that’s either finished or has enough seasons for me to go#feral about#but when FH is on?? or when Big brother airs during the summer?? I’m locked in#I’m sat#I’m having a fcking blast#I think I’ll be posting a lot less discourse in the tags from now on lmao#like- I think writing this out made me remember why I love d20 so much and it’s definitely the show and then the fanart and character stuff#I don’t like fighting with people about like.. subjective opinions#I dunno like there are fandoms where I love the discourse bc it’s to be expected with certain ones (reality tv competition shows like bb +#drag race for me) and I love that sorta thing where rooting for someone or screaming about what they could’ve done to win or whatever is#a big part of that#but with my silly shows like d20 or drawfee or whatever I’m here for the good vibes#when I deviate from that I start having less fun in fandom#d20 fhjy#fantasy high junior year#dimension 20#fhjy

For some reason it did not occur to me when I went wandering out into the woods for four hours or so that I would in fact encounter woodland creatures. But there I was, staring intently at a tree trying to find bugs on it, only to turn around and be startled half to death by two deer just staring at me like I just burst into their kitchen and stole all their silverware
#clamtalk#I dunno I never considered that I could be scared by a deer until I turned away from a tree and was faced with two sudden deer.#Just a lil startling when you are also alone in the woods HDKSBFJDNF#Anyway I am so sweaty and so bitten by mosquitoes. But I caught bugs. So really who wins here.#(there was no class today so I decided to rejuvenate myself by running away into the wilderness with a net)#(It worked!)

been thinking about the aftermath of the school and elmville being destroyed and maybe one of two ways it'll be resolved:
one: bc of all the time quangle nonsense (affectionate) arthur aguefort is gonna show up at the very very end of the battle, see all the carnage and wreckage of his school and elmville and be like "oh nonono, can't have all this" *clap clap* and just reset the world by 24 hours, sky's not on fire, school's repaired, elmville's back to normal (and then two subthoughts about this: either the only people who remember the actual battle are the people in the gym (i.e. the ratgrinders, the bad kids, porter and jace, ankarna, etc.) OR the entire town remembers and everybody's just like "well, that's good ol' arthur aguefort and elmville for ya!")
two: they just let this terrible school full of evil teachers and insane academic policies BE destroyed and done (sort of in the vein of the end of buffy season 3) and aguefort decides to just completely rebuild over the summer
#i dunno option one i just think is a fun silly way to use CHRONOMANCY and just easily reset the damage#i do love time shenanigans#and then maybe option 2 mazey could help rebuild and redesign the school if that's something she'd still be into as current class president#oh wait then if kristen wins she might help rebuild the school#would any of that actually matter anymore if the school is actually gone tho?#clearly i've not put a crazy amount of thought into this once again just sort of rambles#also i think every single student who maybe hasn't already passed this year gets an automatic pass bc oops school blew up#might this piss off kipperlily again? quite possibly#but then hopefully jawbone'll be there to be like hey how's about we get ya a cup a tea and maybe a nap? i think we all need naps#dimension 20#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#aguefort adventuring academy#time quangle

apologies for the silly question, but is the account investigation for any roundsey winners or just anyone who wins kickstarter prizes?
Hey anon, no such thing as a silly question! As my name isnt undel I unfortunately can't answer this for certain (and if it was i would give myself a boolean for free) but I'm fairly sure theyre just going to be investigating the "big prize" winners. So yeah kickstarter items and such. I doubt if you're one of the 60 paunchy red percher winners theyre gonna bother giving your account a look over. Again! I could be wrong about this but I'd like to hope devs have better things to be getting on with
#im unsure if this also applies to the roundsey dragons... i dunno really#one way to be sure- if you have broken the rules in the past and dont want to get investigated#just dont enter roundseys raffle#i do it every week! its easy and its free. who even wins roundsey anyways?

apparently at some point it became my mission in life to have a flight rising dragon for every character from idw sonic
#so far i have tangle whisper starline surge and kit all in varying states of completion#scried nite and don tonight due to the gay win and i already have a dragon lined up for don but i'm gonna need to breed one for nite#jewel i have pretty much everything but the dragon because the damn player i'm buying a parent from won't complete the crossroads </3#i want to have belle obviously but funny clown nose is integral and there's no funny clown nose apparel on this useless website yet#i tried a little to replicate it with genes but it's not working. praying to all eleven dragon gods for clown nose apparel this notn#i keep trying to scry rough and tumble as a single aberration with diamond/spade but i don't think there's a colour that works </3#ah well i'll make em work as moderns i guess. give em their shoes it's all they have in this baka life#off the top of my head i believe that makes it just lanolin clutch and mimic who i haven't made any sort of start on yet#and the other three original diamond cutters of course but i dunno if i'll do them. at this rate though why fucking not eh#you fool. you've read my entire infodump about my flight rising projects. bask in the sheer terror of pure unmitigated autism

i think my gojo is fairlyyyy consistent throughout all of my fics but i kinda see them as seperate entities. the ari gojo multiverse. i want them to meet
#i need maid fic gojo and royalty au gojo to interact <33333#the biggest simp vs the most devoted who wins……#most of my gojos follow the same format but. some r written w a no curses au in mind so they’re less traumatized. like maid gojo…#i love him bc his biggest problem in life is that he’s worried he won’t be able to convince you to wear matching maid outfits w him#meanwhile literally every single other gojo is like ”i’m afraid intimacy will kill me once i have it.”#…….. then there’s bfb!gojo who is . the only one who isn’t smitten with his reader. they’d kill him i think#I LIKE THINKING ABT THEM…. i dunno if my gojo is very recognizable or not but!!! i like to think i have some sort of … gojo brand….#ari noises ✩

hoping that the teams get their shit together after the end of today because I think they’re forgetting that all the eggs are at stake, and if they figured out who’s cursed and got them to win each time, no eggs would die. they’ve worked together despite the odds before, I’m hoping they see past their anger and anxiety and competitive natures, and pull their head out of their ass to figure out beyond basic survival what is going on and why
#cellbit Mr investigator fuck the feds I’m counting on you please for the love of god#I don’t have much hope for bad right now he was told by dapper to run over who he can so that’s what he’s gonna do until he wakes tf up#and fit seems to know a bit more than the others?? idk. etoiles is being very level headed as far as I’ve seen at least#I’m hoping man I’m hoping because it’s not looking good#and above all else. I need red not to be cursed. because if they are and they don’t win? no one else will save Leo#maybe Roier would fight for it but if it’s between all the eggs on the cursed team. I dunno man I dunno I dunno#I’m nervy#live blogging#mcyt#qsmp#qsmp purgatory#z speaks

What if. After all the eggs were left muddy and cracked they got taken back as they didn't mean to be given back like that. The worker that worked with them did such a lousey job they had to take them back.
But also all the eggs hate baths so so much and that's why this is taking so long. They're being little menaces god bless 🙏
#qsmp#den talkies#COPIUM BY TRYIBG TO BE SILLY#ok but if i were real with yall.#I think theyre either cooking an epic save mission and just didnt get to finish in time#theyre about to do Egg Olympics strongest egg wins it all#add a new egg Or the secret favela member and theyve got sth to do with this#i like to think they took em back either to fix 'imperfections' they left behind#or to take notes of why they work and other eggs dont i dunno#bc i think eggs that werent given to the residents werent given for the reason that they just weren't good enough#for what? who knows maybe theyre making lil killing machines shrugs#that's my cup of tea thanks for reading ^^

Every time I see one of those "sexy [blank] tournament" polls going around I see you guys missing the point of what "sexy" means
#it's always the most conventionally physically attractive guy who wins#and I dunno how to tell you this#but sexiness =/= physical attractiveness#you aren't ready for this conversation though
