#saint-orihime

[anishake]

I really am no hater, but please for the sake of everything holy, please stop saying Orihime is a well-written female character, please, just stop.

[kaibutsushidousha]

Forgot to ask when Taigong is doing his special chant why did he name those specific gods are they important to him and who are they exactly? I know that Yuanshi is Taigong teacher and that Nüwa is Daji’s boss.

Before me, the King Father of the East, Dongwanggong

Xiwangmu, the Queen Mother of the West, is a major figure that frequently appears in Taoist narratives due to her status as the one governing all the Xian women. In contrast, Dongwanggong, the King Father of the East, exists only as her mirror image, barely gets mentioned anywhere, and while he gets the equivalent status of governor of the male Xians, there are a handful of male Xians blatantly above him in the hierarchy. Also, archeological evidence of Xiwangmu's worship is quite a few centuries older than his, so it's pretty well accepted that he was created just to be her counterpart.

To my right, the Flame Emperor, Shennong

Shennong is one of the three divine sovereigns of China. A man with the head of a bull and a great elemental affinity for fire. He was crowned the god of agriculture for teaching humans how to grow crops, weave clothes, and practice commerce. He also earned his status as the god of medicine by testing hundreds of herbs and sorting which were toxic and which were healing. I guess Prometheus is a good comparison point for him, as they share the fire imagery and the history as a granter of knowledge. FGO has him as one of the two gods incorporated into Xu Fu's Saint Graph.

Behind me, the Queen Mother of the West, Xiwangmu

The aforementioned boss of the Xian women. She's originally described in the Classic of Seas and Mountains as a woman with a human face, tiger teeth, a leopard tail, and unkempt hair, but later texts beautify her. She's also responsible for the peaches of immortality and famously offered one to Emperor Wu. She's the goddess of criminal punishment, associated mainly with the five more cruel sentences (marking criminals with tattoos, scraping off noses, cutting off feet, castration, and execution).

Some of her cameos in myths include:

Being the Yellow Emperor strategy teacher, who he calls for help in the battle against Chiyou.

Giving the peaches of immortality to Hou Yi.

Offering a peach of immortality to Emperor Wu.

Being the mother who doesn't let Zhinu (better known by her Japanese name Orihime) be with her mortal lover for 364 days of the year in the tale of the Star-Crossed Lovers.

Hosting the peach party that Sun Wukong raided to steal the peaches of immortality early into the Journey to the West.

Lending her Flag of Clouds to Guang Cheng Zi in the Investiture (and being regularly mentioned as Princess Longji's mother).

To my left, the Mother Goddess, Nüwa

Nuwa is the world creator, who also created mankind in a collaborative project with her husband Fuxi. She has a major part in the Investiture, as you mentioned. After having the honor of seeing her, Emperor Zhou of Shang got too excited and wrote an erotic poem on her temple's walls. Very offended by this, she dispatched our lovely trio of Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren to cause the downfall of his empire. However, Daji proved herself to be a callous overachiever and a bad influence on her two companions, so Nuwa sided against her own subordinates in the war.

However, her main myth is about how the primordial gods of fire and water picked up a fight with her and the battle resulted in a hole in Heaven, causing the water of the Milky Way to leak downward, almost causing humanity's extinction. Nuwa used all of her power to patch the hole with colorful rocks and to recover from that, she took a nap she still hasn't woken up from.

May the great Jade Emperor bestow his blessing upon us

Yu Huang Taidi, the Jade Emperor, is the emperor of the celestial realm. Officially he is the direct assistant of Yuanshi Tianzun, and that makes him the most important Chinese god as far as mankind is concerned because the Three Pure Ones above him don't concern themselves with the affairs of either the human or the regular Xian worlds.

under Torch Dragon Zhulong's radiant light!

That's the guy who controls when it's day and when it's night. His eyes are vertically laid in the center of his face, and it gets bright when he opens them and dark when he closes them.

[eternalstarlights]

@thehealerhairpin for a starter between Sasha and Orihime.

“Lady Athena, please stay back! This person could be dangerous!” Regulus shouted as he stood in front of Athena, ready to fight if needed.

Earlier, a beam of light appeared out of nowhere and in front of them. They did not understand what was happening, however, Regulus was not taking any chances especially when they were in the middle of a Holy War. As the light faded away, there was an orange hair girl who looked to be around their age in weird clothing looking very confused.

“Who are you? And what is your purpose of appearing in front of Athena?” Regulus demanded from the stranger. The girl did not look like a threat, however, he was taught to never let his guard down no matter what.

“Regulus, stop. It is alright. You are going to scare her.” Sasha gently pushed Regulus to the side and approached the girl. She did not want to scare the girl any further.

“My name is Athena and this is my saint, Leo Regulus. I promise we won’t hurt you. Where did you come from?”

🔞 from Orihime

Send 🔞 for my muse to tell yours a sexual thought that they’ve had about them

@sinningzone

"...The sweetest ones always gotta have some of the best figures out there, don't they?" Observing her closely as he has from a distance, being a potential literal saint to so many who were coming and going to see her as he continue to watch her... It almost made him feel so, so guilty how he couldn't help himself, but want her.

"It's as if I feel I'm going to corrupt someone so pure if I got my hands on her... And I can't help it." There was truly a lot he was holding back on his imagination. One could say the devil on the scale was winning, however.

[ancient-pokehistorian]

Bio: Jules

Name: Jules Saint-Michelle

Gender: Female (she/her or they/them)

Age: 27

Birthday: November 19th

Occupation: Journalist for Lumiose Press

Height: 5’ 7”

Orientation: Pansexual

Hometown: Geosenge Town, currently residing in Lumiose City

Personality: Sophisticated, fun-loving, and exuberant, Jules loves to be the center of attention. Sometimes she can be a little overbearing with her flirty and open ways, but that doesn’t stop her from being professional when she needs to be. She enjoys the simple things in life, especially good friends and good coffee, and is fiercely loyal to those she cares about. As one who wears her heart on her sleeve, she can be moody and sharp-tongued when angered, in addition to struggling when she feels alone or abandoned.

History: Jules’ childhood was a happy one, if not somewhat bland. Her mother is an ex-Pokémon trainer and her father, a business man who works primarily in Hoenn. Although she was, and still is, ‘daddy’s little girl’, she was raised mostly by her mom, who gave her freedom to roam up and down the west coast of Kalos. For the most part she could be found on Route 10, wrestling and playing with a flock of wild Hawlucha, whose company she preferred to that of other children.

However, after a strange accident one night when she was 8, Jules was found wandering the beach south of Cyllage City in the dead of night, dazed and unable to remember how she got there. To this day she has no memory of that night, or even the days following, but it changed something in her. She panicked whenever left alone, becoming very clingy to anyone who showed her affection. Even stranger, her memory was weak, to the point that she often struggled to remember even the events of the day prior. Between this her and mother becoming more resistant to let her wander off down the coast again, she spent more time indoors, where she found the company of both people and Pokémon a welcome distraction. At the suggestion of a doctor she took up journalism to aid her memory, and quickly found a natural gift for writing.

Time passed, and the once-adventurous girl who wrestled with Hawlucha chose not to travel Kalos and take on the Gym Challenge, instead devoting her time to school work and improving her writing skills. At 18 she submitted an application for an internship with Lumiose Press, but was rejected, only to try again a year later and be accepted. With high spirits she moved to Lumiose City to pursue a career in journalism.

Jules was absent during the activation of the Ultimate Weapon, an event that she remains bitter about, especially having previously been a major supporter of Lysandre Labs.

Faceclaim: Orihime Mitsuishi (Aikatsu!)

Tagged by @skaelds -- thanks for the tag!

1.Three ships?

Hmm, I’m going to interpret this as romantic ships, because I have much fewer of those than platonic ones; otherwise we’ll be here all day XD I don’t really have any ships in Tolkien (like, I’m cool with all the ones established in canon and a handful of fanon ones, I’m just not particularly invested in any), so:

Ulquiorra/Orihime (Bleach) Erza/Jellal (Fairy Tail) Sesshomaru/Kagura (Inuyasha)

2. First ever ship?  

Probably Lymond/Phillippa (The Lymond Chronicles)

3. Last song?

The Sea and a Pearl by Junna yes, I’m stll upset about how the series went but the opening song is so catchy damn it

4. Last movie?

I rewatched both Phantom Rouge and The Last Mission, for Hunter x Hunter research purposes 👀

5. Currently reading?

I’m about to start (re)reading the Silmarillion, the entire HoMe, Fall of Numenor, Nature of Middle Earth, and select parts of LotR and the Hobbit -- ideally in that order -- in preparation for some much overdue fic writing and possibly text-supported blorbo analysis because if I see one more take of a certain flavor, I am going to start a cult to Melkor

6. Currently watching?

I’ve been rewatching Space Battleship Yamato in the background while drawing (tbh mostly for the music; I can’t find the soundtrack anywhere and it is gorgeous); and in terms of currently-airing, I’m following Vinland Saga S2 (it’s beautifully rendered but I miss Askeladd SO MUCH), Boruto (I can always rely on Narutoverse to be there for me ♡), and Revenger (still forming my opinion on this one).

7. Currently consuming?

Coffee and water. I should probably actually eat something solid but basic self-care this past week has been at an all-time low.

8. Currently craving?

The attention span to sit down and just. finish editing even just one of the seven different fics I’m working on so that I can actually post something  T___T

____________________________________________________

15 Questions 15 Mutuals

Rules: answer the questions and tag fifteen mutuals.

1. Are you named after anyone?

Saint Alexios; very traditional and typical of my family to name me after a saint. Me? Not so much a fan. I have a very love-hate relationship with my name.

2. When was the last time you cried?

I rarely cry, like once every few years, but I fulfilled my quota this past Wednesday ✌️

3. Do you have kids?

Absolutely not.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Lmao every sentence. Even when I honestly don’t mean to use it, I end up sounding like I’m being sarcastic XD

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

The way they move, primarily their gait. I’ve realized that I recognize people by the way they walk and hold themselves rather than their faces or other more conventional aspects *is actually a dog in human form*

6. What’s your eye colour?

Debatable. I, personally, think it’s green, but I’ve heard others say blue and/or grey.

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

I don’t really care for scary movies, so I guess happy endings by default; but honestly, any media that is narratively coherent and consistent and delivers satisfactorily.

8. Any special talents?

Scary levels of organization. Can recognize people from the sound of their footsteps. Dog magnet. When I walk/move, I apparently make no sound and terrify people, even if I’m not trying to be quiet at all.

9. Where were you born?

Greece

10. What are your hobbies?

Drawing, writing, cosplay, swordsmanship.

11. Have you any pets?

I used to have a zoo, but time happens and..... as of this past week, there are none left. It’s been rough. (I live with my sis and she still has hers, so there are still fur babies in the house, but. it’s not the same.)

12. What sports do you play/have played?

I used to be big on soccer and basketball way back in middle school and high school, but none since then. I do practice martial arts, but none that fall into the sports category.

13. How tall are you?

About 170cm/5′6′’ ish.

14. Favorite subject in school?

English. Who knew that all those years of successfully bullshitting literary analysis would lead to online blorbo appreciation?? XD

15. Dream job?

Once upon a time, I dreamed of having a job that let me travel the world, allowed me to work with archaeological artifacts, and provided me with a skillset that I could also apply to my creative endeavors and other hobbies (i.e., objects conservator with a focus in metallurgy/metalsmithing).

Now, I just want something that requires minimum contact with other people/the public, is interesting enough to not bore or irritate me, and that leaves me with enough time and energy at the end of the day to pursue my own interests. Oh, and that pays a livable wage! Unrealistic, I know XD

.

Uh, I don’t think I have 15 mutuals ^^; so I tag: @baked-hylian, @cruelfeline, @nomadicism, @chellekumari, @strangefellows, and anyone else who wants to do it! Do it only if you want, of course! :)

[clairelutra]

i would like to make it clear that we did not used to be saints. if you've ever seen a dissertation about how orihime was actually The Worst for getting in the way of ichiruki or they way *cough cough* certain fans were convinced that any female character who blinked in the direction of their precious gay bois were stupid slutty ugly whores without a braincell to share, you would know.

we just didn't pretend that any of it was serious.

we called them flamewars and trashed the opposing team for being idiots who liked the worst ships that ever existed ever, not ~righteous crusades~ against violent bigots or child molesters who regularly commit real life crimes because they like the worst ships that ever existed ever.

Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol 

[momwouldyouwashmybackthisonce]

Do prefer bright warm colors or cool dark colors?

Oooh it really depends but I always lean to warm colors ^_^!

[ichinoue]

Just got back from the movie don't worry there was no romantic ichiruki. She acted more like Ichigo's aunt that got custody of her nephew because his parents died. Orihime didn't sound jealous of Rukia at all. Just really curious. Uryu was nicer in the movie than in the manga.

“Ichigo's aunt that got custody of her nephew because his parents died“ oh my goddddd lmao. I hope it will end up on netflix so I can check it out. Were there any IH moments? 

[positively--speculative]

You're one of my favorites blogs to read

Thank you!

[salzrand]

💣

Sorry, I did not realize I had a message, I was only on mobile for the past week!

💣  Ship that pisses you off: Bya x Renji it’s my absolute NOTP in every aspect that a NOTP can be :X Sorry!

[heckyeahstevetrevor]

Did you know that Steve Orlando is taking over Wonder Woman soon?

Yes! I read Midnighter and Apollo and enjoyed it, but didn’t read his run on JLA so I can’t say I’m too familiar with his work. But however it shakes down, his guest stint is going to be followed by a more permanent takeover from *G. Willow Wilson* (this is still not sinking in, btw). The solicitation looks interesting:

WONDER WOMAN #51 written by STEVE ORLANDOart by LAURA BRAGAcover by STANLEY “ARTGERM” LAUvariant cover by JENNY FRISON 

Then, is Man’s World ready for Wonder Woman to bring Amazonian justice to today’s society? Guest writer Steve Orlando (Justice League of America) delves into that theme in “Transformation Island,” which sees Diana visiting the small-time crook known as Mayfly in jail over the course of several years. But how do these visits impact Diana and Mayfly?

ON SALE 07.25.18 | $2.99 US | 32 PAGES 

Mayfly is making her second comeback in the last five years since… the 90s? I like her. It works for me. 

[mothmckrakken]

saint-orihime replied to your video “New friend offered to walk me home”

Did you keep him?

I wish! But no, he was sitting outside a house when I walked by and I’ve seen him there before so I think that’s where he lives. (He was also there the next day and greeted me again <3) I do really want a cat though! :’)

[monalisas-posts]

Honestly, I don't understand how you can actually compare Rukia to orihime. Rukia wasn't the one blessed with unexplainable godly powers. Ori was the one who had these powers and look what she did most of the series. Rukia,on the other hand,had to hone her skills and work really hard to get stronger. Poor Rukia had to fight to survive growing up. She became known as the "most beautiful soul in all of soul society" meaning there's no one else like her. Do y'all realize how huge ss is ??? Men, women, children admire her skills and abilities and gave her this title. Meanwhile, ori had boys fawn over her appearance in high school. Not because she's smart. No because of her beauty. Look, where this got her...unclogging toilets and being a maid for a broke grown ass man for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile, Rukia is a recognizable captain with a beautiful and powerful bankai.

[incorrect-code-geass-quotes]

I just started following this blog have a question on to submit prompts. Do I give you a conversation or do I give you an idea and you come up with the conversation?

You can do whichever one you want. If you’d like to give me prompt I’d be happy to see what I can come up with. If you’ve got an incorrect quote or conversation in mind then feel free to submit that too.
