what Orihime haters think they look like / what they actually look like:

[blackbullet99]

I don’t understand why Zutara shippers are so obsessed with hating Aang (or Kataang).

I understand they wish Zutara was canon, and that’s perfectly valid. I get why people ship it, and even though a good chunk of the toxic side of the ZK fandom say some pretty racist stuff, the ship is harmless. But the hate is vitriolic. You got to people like the-badger-mole, sokkastyles, longing-for-rain and they spend more time whining about Aang and his relationship with Katara than they talk about Zutara. They say the most objectively untrue stuff about Aang, Katara and Zuko as if making false claims about these characters is the only way to make their ship look good.

For example:

“Zuko did some bad things throughout the show, but Aang is worse because he never supported Katara and sexuality assaulted her. Not to mention Katara never had feelings for Aang, he was practically her son that she had to take care of”.

What ZKs actually sound like:

“Zuko did some bad things throughout the show, so we have to make Aang look worse by comparison to ensure that Zuko is a better match for Katara, despite his own problems, because surely a poorly timed kiss is the same is sexual assault. We falsely believe Aang never supported Katara because he didn’t agree with her seeking vengeance of the person who killed her mom, unlike Zuko who helped her out, meaning that one single episode must mean he’s the only one who supports Katara. Lastly, we have to find a way to make Katara’s obvious affection for Aang problematic, so let’s blow her motherly traits way out of proportion and say that any time she shows Aang affection, it’s a mom coddling her toddler, and yes Aang is a toddler because he’s BALD. So what that they kissed, they’re a mother and child. Also Katara emotionally supporting Aang is bad, she actually hates it. Dude trust me”.

They reason I bring this up is because I don’t understand why they have to be so bitter, it just makes them look pathetic that these people, some fully grown adults are so butthurt about a non-canon pairing from a 20 year old cartoon. Their media-illiterate ramblings don’t prove Aang and Katara are a bad couple, they just make it painfully obvious to anyone with a brain that these types of pathetic ZKs are just seething and coping.

Sure, you might say “I’m not one to talk” seeing as Kataang is canon, but let me tell you, I have my fair share of non-canon ships that I love.

I love Ichigo X Rukia, I think they have great chemistry and strong bond, I wish they were endgame, they felt like the heart and soul of Bleach. But I don’t hate Orihime, such a sweetheart (plus she gave us the Leekspin meme) her and Ichigo are cute, I just think Ichigo and Rukia are better.

I love Black Widow X Captain America from The MCU, they would’ve been a cute couple, they had good chemistry, they kissed for corn’s sake. I don’t care that much for Steve X Peggy, they’re kinda cute, but whatever, although I do really like Captain America’s ending. I don’t like Nat X Bruce, seeing as it came out of nowhere, but whatever, it didn’t last long anyway and I have nothing against either character.

If anything I’m more prone to getting annoyed when a beloved canon couple are broken up, all the build up thrown away and replaced with another character whom has less chemistry with the original. Case in point, Haley and Andy from Modern Family, they were so cute, they had great chemistry and there was so much build up, only for Andy to leave in the season where he and Haley become a couple. Then later Haley and her initial on again off again guy Dylan get together and I gotta say, I don’t like it. But I have nothing against the character, Dylan’s a sweet guy who genuinely loves Haley and matured a lot, and they’re in no way a bad or unhealthy couple, there are people who genuinely like them as a couple too. I do think Haley’s character was kinda done dirty, but that had absolutely nothing to do with what guy she ended up with.

The moral of this story is, you can like a non-canon ship and even dislike a canon ship without making up ridiculous reasons why and acting like a spoiled entitled brat like the vocal minority of ZeeK freaks from the the toxic side of the fandom.

Rukia, my girl, I'm honestly surprised how she seemed to take absolutely none of Byakuya's bullshit personally. In fact, she praised Byakuya as a brother before he even got his character arc. He wasn't even giving her bare minimum attention, and she praised it. MAN. He neglected you for 50 years and lied to your face in the rare time he did talk to you, girl RUN. Surprised she also didn't hear "Adopting girl who resembles his dead wife" out of context and, not even for one second, think "oh my god is this man a pedophile??" Rukia you are TOO TRUSTING and EMOTIONALLY DAMAGED

[theseventhveil1945]

i’ve always read this scene as a hint towards the more protective streak that runs through byakuya regarding rukia, but at this point in the story he absolutely refuses to admit he has a single feeling about her so he has to couch it in passive aggressive bitchery. 

[butwhatifidothis]

I saw your old posts about Ich*ruki wank and thought back to another FE3H board where the most die hard Ladelgard stan had a R*kia icon. It was an "Ah-ha, it makes sense now" moment.

you haven’t watched a single project of oikawa’s after you broke up and refuse to till this day, and if you have known of or see something of his, it wasn’t by choice.

tsukishima is a kpop stan and is in stan twitter.

right before all of this you were pretty excited to binge watch something after a hell week (to be fair, every week is a hell week to you)

nonsense ! an oikawa tooru social media au

synopsis. you were oikawa tooru’s #1 fan, until you became his #1 hater. you hated him so much you went viral on twitter (accidentally) and literally became known as “the oikawa tooru hater”, doesn’t help that he keeps fueling the fire by subtweeting you. everyone is all in for this new drama. what isn’t known to the public, is that this particular drama’s been on hold for three years (him being your ex and all).

i know you probably hear this all the time but your blog is so on point on the horrendous ending of bleach and the endgame couples.

tbh i don't even care that ichigo and rukia didn't end up together... okay after all these years i still give a huge damn that these two aren't endgame. but seriously idc that much that they aren't together. but what i'm so pissed is who ichigo ended up with! be so fr! orihime and ichigo... i could and would right an essay on how they are so incompatible. i would've prefered if he ended up with tatsuki or even some rando. he waited until they were married for him to say her first name... like i get that he wants to be respectable and they weren't that close but ichigo barely knew rukia for a week and he was already down bad for rukia. i still believe to this day that ichigo doesn't look at orihime the same way he looks at rukia. actually he SETTLED for orihime since rukia was already locked down with renji ‼️i will die on this heal. and also the ichihime shippers are scraping for their ship moments while we, ichiruki stans, are eating so well with unlimited supply of ichiruki moments lmao

I would've been fine with the ending simply having Ichigo & Rukia standing next to each other happily (maybe a little too close?) as they look over Soul Society. Leaving the possibilities there. Narratively, such an ending would've made sense. I don't think even non-shippers would have batted an eye. No typical "timeskip married with kids" ending. It didn't make sense for it to end that way.

Even if I was a non-shipper, Ichigo ending up with Orihime goes against the narrative & is one of the major issues with the ending, since there was never an inkling of chemistry between them. No special moments. No interest nor special thought from Ichigo towards her. I literally never thought IH would have a chance; it seemed that unlikely 💀. I never doubted an IchiRuki victory (even if they wouldn't outright get together, like I said, at least that it'd be implied that they will in the future). Most of the shipping fandom thought the same or similarly, I believe... Most ppl shipped or could see IR happening... Kub0 had developed it enough to have most of us thinking this way...

IR had the potential to be the best-written M/F canon ship in a battle shounen & yet... 😮‍💨

I don't believe for a second that Kub0 had "always" intended for IH/RR endgames. To this day, he hasn't said anything meaningful about either pairing. He did absolutely nothing to imply them throughout the story. He put no effort into them. At every opportunity, he would always make it about IchiRuki...

Dudebros & IH's fail to see that IH/RR as endgame makes no narrative sense. If I was an IH/RR shipper, I'd be upset with how Kub0 handled them. They have no development, no official content, no merch, no proper validation from Kub0... He still can't even bring himself to give them a family color spread 🫢. Saddest endgame ships in a battle shounen...

About Ichigo finally saying Ori's name in the last chapter, there's a funny post on that here. 🤭

And yeah, Ichigo definitely settled for her, cuz the fact he waited until Rukia was unavailable will always be laughable... He tried dating Ori once then broke up for a while then tried again... wow, he was really "in love" with her from the start, huh? He was just putting off the inevitable cuz he had to seek unhappiness in order to stop Ywach from returning at his happiest moment... 🤷‍♀️

Disclaimer: I’m asexual, I’m on the aro spectrum, I understand that romance is not for everyone. But this is more of a discussion of misogyny and narrative intent in shounen stories. So, at no point do i mean that romance is essential to the human person.

After an Orihime/Hinata-centric convo with a coworker, it struck me how little a lot of people who only watch battle shounen understand that a love interest should bare weight in a story. As a shoujo enjoyer, I know that a love interest is important and SHOULD BE important to a story.

Take Yona of the Dawn, which is like my model for the perfect battle manga. Hak matters to the story. He isn’t important because he’s Yona’s love interest per se, but he’s Yona’s love interest because he’s important. Yona of the Dawn has a lot going on in its story, character arcs, heavy plot, the power of friendship, lore and mythology, etc. But even still, Hak and Yona’s relationship is never an afterthought. It’s very intentional and very explicitly romantic.

The reason that a lot of battle shounen can’t get romance right is very simple: misogyny. Women are not allowed to be as important to a story as the men.

Hinata is an afterthought character and love interest because Kishimoto refused to allow her to stand on her own in a significant way. He also refused to give her and Naruto a lot of MUTUAL moments of affection and trust throughout the story. There is no substance to their relationship even though there should be. You don’t feel the love or the yearning on both sides. You don’t see them fight together, perfectly in sync despite not uttering a single word (that position goes to Sasuke). Hinata goes down in basically every fight, to the point that you, the audience, are screaming crying throwing up because she should have been allowed to fight a winning battle.

This is not to say that Naruhina is a bad ship or that people who ship it are stupid. I think fans have given this relationship the substance it lacks in canon, and that matters. I mean, I am a trans Naruhina stan for life. But I don’t think Kishimoto should get credit for that.

Then Orihime… babygirl. This girl was so wasted it’s actually a crime against humanity. Orihime is given a little more import in Bleach than Hinata is in Naruto, which I actually think resulted in even more disappointment in her character for me. I don’t ship ichiruki, but… there’s a reason people do. It’s because Rukia is the character fighting at Ichigo’s side (at least in the first few arcs). Orihime is always behind Ichigo, and that’s not compelling for a love interest. She and Ichigo should be side by side.

(Now, to be fair, Ichigo isn’t side by side with anyone in later arcs because Bleach becomes the Ichigo Show and team battles just stop being a thing in favor of Ichigo Fights While Everyone Watches.)

But then in the final battle, when Orihime goes with Ichigo to fight Yhwach, you think, “this is it! Finally!” But no, Orihime is immediately sidelined while Ichigo fights alone.

Again this isn’t to hate on Ichihime, cause I love their cute little faces with all my heart. It’s to illustrate that misogyny prevents love stories from being genuinely compelling to watch. It matters that Orihime is sidelined not only because it’s unfair but also because it affects how we perceive her relationship with Ichigo.

My main problem is that to a lot of people who think romance is “girly” it doesn’t matter if a female love interest is a sexist archetype or not. Because shounen is for boys so why should romance matter. I think this is a disingenuous way to look at these stories. Romance should not be less important to boys because boys also experience romantic attraction. And these creators chose to have romance, therefore the romance should matter. It’s genuinely as simple as that.

If Hak and Yona weren’t love interests, Yona of the Dawn would be a totally different story. But if Naruto and Hinata or Orihime and Ichigo hadn’t ended up together, Naruto and Bleach as stories would remain unchanged. And that matters to me. Relationships, platonic or romantic, change people and narratives. These relationships should be so integral to the plot that the whole thing is different without them, and they just aren’t.

People who dislike the rukihime friendship aren't always rukia stans, I'm an orihime stan, but found the friendship forced due to orihimes lack of reciprocation. Rukia cared for orihime, and considered her a friend, but orihime didn't feel as much the same, as in she appreciatd rukia, but didnt consider her as her girl bff like rukia did, that position goes to tatsuki.

For example, in the soul society arc, we see that orihime followed ichigo there so that she could help and protect him, so in other words, rukia wasnt her number one priority, although she's the one ichigo was suffering and going through pain to save. Her priority was ichigo, and being able to help him, not saving rukia.

Meanwhile I'm hueco mundo, we see rukias dialogue about how she desperately wanted to save orihime. We see her crawling and bleeding on the floor aftwe fighting as she thinks about how she wants to save orihime, and how she knows the feelings of being captive and helpless. She says "orihime, I'm coming!" Showing how determined she is to save her, and she literally almost died in her battle.

With orihime, there was nothing like that in soul society, because as I said, helping ichigo was her main priority. Now I'm not trying to day orihime doesn't care about rukia, just not as much as rukia cared about her. It was one sided because orihime never showed the amount of care and affection for rukia as rukia did for her.

Even rukia stans who dislike the friendship only dislike it because again, its one sided. Its not a well developed friendship, and they barely even interacted anyway, I saw some talking about it on twitter, and I didn't see anything about them disliking they personally didn't like orihime, they all just said rukia deserved better.

I don't hate the rukihime friendship, I just think it's forced and underdeveloped. Friendships lle tatsuhime and ichiruki are way better written to be fair.

I mean idk, I feel like you can have more than one bff?? Like Orihime being so close to Tatsuki doesn't lessen her friendship with Rukia. It's not like it's a competition for the number one spot lol.

I see what you mean about Orihime going to SS mainly to help Ichigo save Rukia, but I think it's important to remember the context of the two rescue missions: The Rukia rescue mission in SS happened before Rukia and Orihime were shown becoming closer friends. When they're training together in the arrancar arc and Ukitake is observing them and comments on their friendship--that didn't happen until after the Rukia rescue. And shortly after that, with their friendship now clearly established, is when the Orihime rescue mission happens in HM. So I don't think it's really fair to compare how each girl acted during the two different rescue missions because again, the Rukia rescue happened before they became closer, the Orihime rescue happened after. It's like expecting Orihime to care just as much for Rukia in the SS arc as Rukia cared for Orihime in the HM arc, but the SS arc happened first, before their friendship developed over time.

And then in HM when Rukia was bleeding on the floor thinking about Orihime, she could relate to Orihime being captive because something similar had already happened to her before, it happened to her first. Whereas Orihime didn't have that kind of experience to relate to or think about back in the Rukia rescue mission, because her abduction hadn't even happened yet at the time. So again, it doesn't seem fair to compare the two situations based on the context. But even still, even as Rukia was laying on the floor near death, Orihime was literally crying and banging on the door of the room she was being held captive in trying to get out and get to Rukia when she felt her spiritual pressure disappear.

One thing I will say about the RukiHime friendship, if it seems unbalanced or that Rukia cares more than Orihime does--I think a lot of it has to do with the age gap. Rukia isn't some friend from school Orihime can relate to in many ways. Instead, I see her as an older, big sister type friend to Orihime. They're not the same age or the same maturity level, they don't have the same life experience. But they still care about each other, and to me, Rukia looks out for Orihime the way a big sister does, so if it seems like she's doing more...that's typically the role big sisters fill. I don't think one has to treat each other exactly the same as the other does, because of the uniqueness of their friendship.

But, I understand that it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.

You know what sucks is that when terrible ships have fanart, that's awesome, and the healthy ships have terrible art? Not all healthy ships have terrible fan art. It's just that the majority of fandoms love unhealthy ships. For instance, Sasusaku, Ichihime, and Eremika. When people draw Sasuke, Ichigo, and Eren with someone else, like, for instance, Hinata, Ino, Tenten, Rukia, Renji, Ishida, Tatsuki, Byakuya, Mashiro, Sasha and Historia Reiss sometimes these shippers tend to get angry. If you ship Sasuke with any of the characters from "Naruto," that I listed, then people act like it's a threat. The same goes for Ichigo with someone else. Erehisu, on the other hand, is hell to pay for most Eremika shippers. Sasusaku and Eremika are the same. I saw a dumbass meme on reddit stating that Narusaku, Ichiruki, and Eremika are the ships they wanted to be canon, but we got Naruhina, Ichihime, and Erehisu instead. If you replace Eremika with Erehisu wanting to be canon along side with Narusaku and Ichiruki, then it makes better sense. The people who hate Erehisu are hard-core Eremika and Yumikuri, along with Reikuri stans and they think that Historia is gay. She's not gay. If anything, she's bisexual but not for Ymir or aromantic, but it's obvious that she's in love with Eren in a very healthy way. Orihime and Mikasa are better versions of Sakura. Naruhina also sucks. Eremika stans are the kind of people that will foam at the mouth from anger.

I remember seeing a fanart of Bleach that shows Ichihime and Renruki with kids but with chigo's thumb tied to a red string that spells out Bleach and ends up tied to Rukia's pinky finger. I found that image sick and was most likely made by non-east asian due to it not understanding what it means. IchiRukis defend it as harmless but clearly doesn't understand what it means. I'm asian but not from East Asia and I even got offended with it since I understand the meaning. Kubo did not show an actual red thread of fate but he did reference it on Orihime's confession thru the five lives, five loves statement.

It is one thing to support a non-canon ship but to twist the meaning of a cultural statement to support that ship is just BS. It's no wonder Kubo is annoyed and sarcastic against them then they get offended when he tells them to create their own manga and try to surpass Bleach and don't dictate him on what to do with his story.

NaruSakus can't do this crap to Naruto due to the Last as the red scarf Hinata has woven acted as a red string of fate between NaruHina.

Even the Chinese made game Onmyoji understand the meaning of it and treated it with respect. The Shikigami Enmusubi will only show the red string of fate to shinigamis that are bound by it like Kappa and Koi. It doesn't appear to the rest of the shikigami.

Lastly, I can't believe that expressing a differing opinion these days can constitute harassment and got that from an IchiRuki after saying that IchiRuki is a product between SP and Noriyuki Abe, the former animation director of Bleach. Fortunately, Abe is not involved in TYBW as Kubo opted for a new team and knowledge of his non-involvement made many people in the Bleach reddit happy as they are not happy with what he did to the early Bleach anime, particularly to the first two arcs.

Yup I agree Ichiruki is way more pathetic than NaruSaku at this point because they’ve deluded themselves so much that even after Bleach’s manga ending drawn by Kubo himself with Ichihime’s son and Renruki’s daughter, they insist that their ship made the most sense even over Kubo himself!

At least NaruSaku have mostly moved on to BoruSara (while ironically ignoring Himawaris existence and we all know why) in the next generation, Ichiruki fans will STILL scream till they’re blue in the face that Ichigo and Rukia were always meant for each other based on bullshit chapter covers and poems.

And thank god Abe is gone from Bleach! They were as annoying as the NaruSaku stan on Studio Perriot that invaded and destroyed Road to Ninja with their bullshit.

Like seriously Japan, before you hire these people make sure they have basic reading comprehension first!

Why did you go to the Beyoncé concert in London?

I work on the dates she had listed but I take vacation in August and I was headed towards Vegas anyways so lol I was just like okay I’ll just take that week off and go.

Beyoncé literally has people going to different places they’ve never been for her concert and that is great.

[ichirukilover]

you know the bleach fandom truly hates rukia when they start propping up a loser like renji over her

This fandom has reached all kind of low.. but you know what? A loser like Renjo fits pretty well with the losers that are still stanning this shitshow, so I'd say they should keep it up.
