Hiiii how are you doing my dear? I hope that you're taking care of yourself and not overworking yourself 😊 it's my first time requesting so I'm sorry if I didn't do it right english is not my mother language so sorry 😭 anyway I just want to put this idea in here because it was stuck in my head for a while and I really love your writing it always makes my day better everytime I read one of your works, so the thought is bleach men (especially kenpachi this thought come in the first place because of him😭) having a cute aggression everytime they see their wife because damn how a woman can be this cute and pretty all the time that they can't help themselves 😭😭(plz take your time and don't overwork yourself you can ignore it if you want it's ok I just want to tell you how much I love you and your work 🥺💗🫂).

Hi!! @thebestgirlever2 I'm doing very well and I hope you're doing well too. First of all, your English is very good and don't worry because English is not my native language either and secondly, I'm very happy that you like my work here. It motivates me a lot and thank you for your affection🥹❤️❤️

So here's the thing, at this moment I wasn't writing for the Bleach fandom but I decided to make some exceptions (as I also mentioned in the post about requests) and since it's also your first time making a request, I decided to write it.

I hope this is what you had in mind and I hope you like it😊 I wrote to my big boys just to see their hearts soften with so much cuteness🤭

Characthers : Kenpachi, Shunsui, Kensei, Grimmjow

🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️

Kenpachi :

Our giant and brute Kenpachi was constantly in an internal battle when he saw you do something. Even if it was the simplest thing in the world, his heart would melt because he found you so cute. He didn't usually admit it out loud even though you were his wife, but your expression, your looks, everything was so clear that everyone could see it. Yachiro pointed it out several times, but he just made a face and grumbled. "Y/n is so cute and you know it too. Admit it!" She said, pulling on the sleeve of his kimono trying to get his attention "Yes, she really is." He thought, looking at the girl and seeing her playful air

Yumichika and Ikkaku also noticed the way he blushed slightly when you greeted him with a smile that made his heart of stone melt and made the man's bloodlust dry up. Deep down, he liked this effect on him. One day he was sitting on the porch watching you tend to some flowers in the garden. Your hands were small and soft compared to his, which were large and calloused, your face so focused and fragile as you worked, your long, flowery sundress that matched the garden around you. He clenched his fist, feeling angry at all the cuteness in front of him. "How is it possible to be so..." He thought, trying to restrain himself from going to you and picking you up, hugging you and holding you close to him But the voices in his head won out and he got up and went to do what his thoughts wanted. You got up and suddenly saw a large silhouette blocking the sun and when you turned around you saw him with his usual serious face, but little did you know that he was finding you so cute now. "Oh Kenpachi, you were there! I didn't even realize that--" You hadn't finished speaking and he was already lifting you off the ground for a hug and squeezing you in his arms. "Kenny, what are you doing?!" You said breathlessly due to the squeeze. "Nothing." He said, pulling your face away from his chest for a moment to show you an innocent look "Nothing? You're crushing me against you." You giggled "What? You looked really cute just now." He said, rolling his eyes and you laughed "Oh! Looks like my arrogant giant is finally letting his guard down. How cute!" You poked his cheek and he turned his face away "Shut up." He grumbled and you smiled

Shunsui :

He just can't stand it. You look so beautiful and so cute in everything you do, in the way you walk and even the way you breathe. He never makes a point of hiding how cute you are and how important you are to him. Your gentleness and your smile were what captivated him the most. Nanao was already fed up with having to hear him praise you, every five minutes. "Yes, Captain, you've said that several times." She sighed, rolling her eyes. "No, I don't think you understand. She's wonderfully cute." He said again "Here we go again..." One day he was coming home after work (not that he really did much besides drinking sake and sleeping) and when he entered the room and saw you sleeping so deeply in bed, wrapped in the sheets, so quiet and asleep, his heart melted. "My petal looks so cute, sleeping like an angel." He said with both hands on his chest and with a little laugh He approached you, caressing your sleeping face, wanting to pinch your cheeks after an episode of 'cute aggression' but he restrained himself not to wake you up. "How can she be so cute." He thought He took off his flowery kimono and lay down next to you, pulling you close to him in a tight hug, distributing kisses from your shoulders to your cheeks. You moved a little and he stopped immediately. "No, no, no! Go back to sleep, don't wake up, you're sleeping very well. Very very well, petal." He said, caressing your face and you, still asleep, turned to him to hug him "That's right, dear. I don't want to wake you up."He said, giving you one last kiss on the cheek before going back to sleep Damn, I already missed writing a little about him😭

Grimmjow:

This man definitely changed from a panther to a kitten when he met you. And after marriage, it intensified. He still remembers the way you were always pushing his buttons and the way he lost his mind when you did it, but later he realized that he didn't have the courage to do anything about it. Yes, he would grumble and tell you to shut the fuck up, but he wouldn't yell or insult you. You had an effect on him that started to irritate him in the early days, but after he realized that he was in love, he started to feel more at ease. Of course, he was still too proud to admit that you were so cute, but so cute that he just wanted to hug you close to him and give you a ton of bites (love bites cause he's a kitty🐈). One day you were in the kitchen preparing something to eat when you heard the front door open. Grimmjow was mad after having crossed paths with Ichigo. His rival. "That idiot, I swear, one day I'm going to beat the shit ou of that son of a b--" He entered the kitchen, furious, screaming, and when he was going to punch the wall to release his anger, he noticed that you were standing there in the corner and his fist was only a few inches from the wall, which prevented it from being destroyed. Seeing you so quiet and cute, looking at him made him quickly recover and look away in embarrassment. You also couldn't help but be curious to know what had made him like that. Deep down you knew that it had probably been something very trivial because it didn't take much to make this man angry. "Are you okay?" You asked, approaching him. "You seem a little angry right now. Did something happen?" "No, it's okay, don't worry. It's all sorted out." "Seriously? Because it really seemed like you cross paths with Ichigo again." "Oh, don't say that name..." He growled, closing his eyes and clenching his fists "Okay, okay, I won't say the name again. Fine!" You said, raising your hands in surrender "Thanks." "But other than that, how was your day? Did you need anything? Are you feeling tired?" You said with a smile that made his heart soften and his tough personality fall He stared at you for a while, admiring your expression and you looked at him a little confused by his silence. "Is everything okay?" You poked his cheek and he nodded before pulling you into a tight hug "Stay here for at least five minutes, okay?" He asked and you nodded against his chest You didn't know what had made him do that so suddenly, but one thing was for sure, it was all he wanted at that moment to be able to calm down.

Kensei :

Another one who has a tough personality but always has a cute aggression attack when you pass by him or you've only been together for five minutes. Mashiro used to tease him about it when she noticed it. "You and Y/n make a really cute couple. I can see how you look at her and your cheeks get blushed. But Kensei, you two are already married, why do you keep blushing like a teenager?" She said, laughing at him and he clenched his fist, one of his eyes twitching and feeling a vein bulging in his neck "Shut up you idiot! Stop teasing me!!" He yelled and she laughed even harder seeing that she had managed to get him out of his mind Deep down, he knew she was right. You really got to him even though you two were married. He looked at you and always thought you were cute. One day he was coming home and saw you sitting on the couch watching TV, but as he got closer he saw that you were sleeping sitting up. You probably ended up falling asleep watching TV while you waited for him. He felt a little guilty about it, but it was his job. As much as he wanted to be close to you, it was hard sometimes. He turned off the TV and took the pillow that was on your lap, picking you up bridal style, slowly so you wouldn't wake up. When he got to the bedroom, he put you on the bed and that's when you woke up, seeing him sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at you. "Did I wake you up?" He asked "I let myself fall asleep in the living room, didn't I?" You asked, yawning "Yes, and I brought you back to the bedroom. I'm sorry I was late." He said, running his hand over your face and looking away "It's okay, love. I know it's your job. I wanted to wait for you, but I couldn't. I ended up falling asleep." You held his hand He looked at you and seeing your sweet smile and the way you were always so understanding, made him want to hug you and not let go until the next day. "Come to sleep, you look tired." You said he just nodded, taking off his clothes and lying down next to you "Come here." He pulled you to him and held you in a tight hug against him, letting out a long sigh. "This is what I needed." He whispered and you patted his arm "Kensei, I can't breathe properly." Your voice was muffled by the closeness and that was when he released you a little so you could breath properly. "I'm sorry, honey, it's just that you... seemed too cute just now." He confessed with a blush on his face and you giggled "You too, your cheeks are blushing." You pointed and he hugged you again so you wouldn't see. "Kensei." You fidgeted "Shut up." He grumbled

[recurring-polynya]

Sorry if you have been asked this before but I was wondering is there some reason why Kubo never really showed too much regarding Rukia’s feelings towards Renji ? It’s not only her but even Gin & Ichigo with Rangiku & Orihime !! Like he gives enough so people can sense something but he doesn’t give a lot away. Is it about interpretation or he just simply doesn’t want to write romance too deeply ??

Kubo has said quite plainly that he doesn't want to put romance at the forefront. I think he's said this various times in various ways, but here's a pretty definitive quote from an interview he gave at the 2018 San Diego Comicon:

Q: Speaking of Ichigo's relationships with his friends, there seems to be a love triangle between Ichigo, Rukia, and Orihime. Do you delve more into this in later volumes? A. Tite Kubo: (laughs) I get asked about that a lot! I don't want to make Bleach into a love story because there are much more exciting things about their personalities and things that they can do instead of getting into the romance aspect of their relationships.

Kubo's answers are sometimes a little cheeky, but I don't see any reason to read this as anything other than face value. He may have had additional reasons to leave romance out of the story--it's a shounen and he didn't think that stuff would be of interest to the core of his readers, he didn't want to deal with angry ship opinions, etc, etc, but the long and short of it is the guy said "this is not a kissing story" and it's not.

Not to get too nitpicky--this was an interview, there's some degree of translation involved--but I actually find this kind of funny because while I agree that it's not a romance, I would *absolutely* classify Bleach as a love story. Bleach is about 600 love stories. It's about the love between a boy and his precious friends, the love between big brothers and little sisters, about the love between captains and lieutenants, about love that can only be expressed in battle, about love that turns poisonous and corrupts, about love that saves and purifies, about a love for the world you live in and want, with all your heart to make better. And while it's not a romance, I think it is about romantic love as well.

So, even though that's the real reason, I think it is also perfectly in-character for Rukia to act the way she does and I want to yap about it. I can tell right now this is gonna get long, so I am going to put it under a cut.

Just to get it out of the way up-front, I will briefly cover the other characters you mentioned. Both of this could easily merit their own essay, but I want to talk about Rukia, so I'm gonna keep it brief.

My interpretation on Gin and Rangiku is that they were not on romantic terms at any point of the canon timeline. My guess is that when she made it to the Academy and caught up with him again, it very quickly became obvious that he was no longer being genuine with her, and I think she cut him off. He is on a mission for revenge; she doesn't understand why he acts the way he does and distances herself from it. That being said, I (and I think many people?) find their parting scenes to be deeply, tragically romantic. I think this depends on your definition of "romantic." It never would have worked. He ruined it. If he had lived, it would change nothing. But Othello loved Desdemona, too. A story being a tragedy doesn't preclude it being a love story.

Ichigo is a teenage boy with a heart the size of three worlds. I think the amount of emotion he would like to leak out of his body is zero. I think the amount of emotion that does leak out of his body is so high that the signal-to-noise ratio makes it very difficult to determine discern anything meaningful. My reading of Bleach is that he does have special feelings for Orihime and that they are a slightly different flavor than he has for other people, but it's super hard to tell because he makes the same loving puppy eyes at Chad and Uryuu and Renji and Grimmjow. This guy is constantly torn between loving everyone he knows with the luminosity of a small star and trying to act too cool for school. Also, he's very young. He's still figuring this out, too.

Okay! Let's talk about Rukia!!!

The thing about Rukia is that she is really, really uncomfortable expressing affection. In the flashback scenes where she talks about how much she admired Kaien and Miyako, she's shown standing far away and looking at them from a great distance. When Byakuya compliments her bankai, she squeezes her eyes shut and has to look away.

Ukitake comments at how remarkably "open" he finds her to be with Orihime, even though what they are actually doing is training. You want to see a love confession? Here's Rukia's love confession to Orihime from We Do (Knot) Always Love You (Renji is here, too):

Feeling a little shy and fidgety, Rukia hesitated a few times as she replied to Orihime. "Th-that's because, Inoue I consider you……my……b-best girl-friend! So therefore……I thought…I should tell you first……" She spoke as her last few words became a little mumbled. "……your face is redder than the time I asked you to marry me ya know." "Sh-shut up!!"

A thing I really like about this though, is that while it is portrayed as something that sometimes holds Rukia back in her relationship, it's not portrayed as some sort of fatal flaw. She's a private person, and that's ok. This isn't a quality we often get to see female characters have. If this were a romance story, maybe we'd have to see her overcome this, but it's not! It's an action story and Rukia is a cool and stoic character, which is exactly how she wants to be!

I'm always pounding my shoe on the table over this, but I really, genuinely think that a significant chunk of Renji's character/personality design was specifically to be Rukia's love interest, which I think is based as Hell of him. He's good-looking, he's cool, he's devoted to her, he's powerful along the rules of the worldbuilding, but not in a way that overshadows her. And he meets her where she is.

The scene where Renji carries Rukia down the 8,000 flights of Soukyoku Hill stairs is, in my opinion, the most romantic scene in all of literature. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Rukia is so upset about being rescued, she is cannot stand the fact that anyone cares about her, or worse, that they would risk themselves for her. It's so clear that Renji understands this, and in the gentlest possible terms, asks her to accept his (and Ichigo's) help, as if she has any say in it at this point. He doesn't even make eye contact as he very obliquely says Let us care about you.

This causes Rukia, the most repressed woman in the universe, to hunch in on herself so that he can't see her cry and then he tells her to shut up. I am making little graspy hands at my computer as I write this. This is so good. Imagine. Imagine someone understanding you so well that they would spare you from your own emotions in this way. I am going insane.

This is not a Hallmark Christmas movie. This is a love story for those of us who struggle to connect with others.

I want to kind of hop out and say that I think there's a certain kind of person (me), who gets interested in romances almost exclusively from stories that have little-to-no romantic content. This is not an accident. For me, this is how I like it. I want to read about characters who save the world and I want them to be very business-up-front about it. I mean, yeah, I wouldn't mind if they kissed on screen once, but I don't need it. I have an imagination for that. I have fanfiction for that. I literally want them to do it on their own time. You know what's romantic to me? Meaningful looks. Backing each other up. Fighting in synch. Matching outfits. This is romance to me, and I think Rukia might actually agree with me.

This isn't to say that this is all of Rukia and Renji's relationship. I think they have talked about feelings, I think they've probably held hands and kissed or whatever, but where and when and how it happened is their own business. I think Renji probably wouldn't have minded getting on on-panel smooch, but this feels exactly how I think Rukia would want her relationship portrayed: We looked very cool and then, several years later, we were married.

Oh, and they also very much did get the horniest panels in all of Bleach, which, weirdly enough, I think Rukia would also approve of.

Feelings- Grimmjow x F!Reader

An idea (kind of) finally popped into my head with our lovely boy Grimmjow! I really just want this to be spicy and filled with the tropes that get my blood going lol. Let's enjoy~

CW: fem reader, alt post canon, (slight) jealous Grimmjow, cussing, mdni, smut, pnv, biting, reader's a bit of a size queen, pleasure dom Grimmjow

For him, the adrenaline rush was like no other. It made him greedy. He didn't have to share or hint at anything. This part of his life was all his, and he wanted to keep it that way.

Grimmjow finally caved in and decided to try to have a more "normal" life as the humans would describe it. It did make sense after all. Wars had been fought. There were several dimensions and worlds to see. Grimmjow still had his dreams and goals of wanting to be the strongest. It was his foundation. But events with those damn shinigami had him thinking about things he hadn't ever really cared to.

The first time Grimmjow had seen you was when he was out running a job for Urahara. He wasn't trying to be too involved with the eccentric man, but he knew he needed to do a little work if he wanted to get some favors returned--like eventually getting a gigai.

So while he was up in the air walking, he glanced down as the humans went about their boring daily lives and saw you waving yourself in the summer heat and pulling the bottom of your cropped hoodie. You poked your straw into your boba before taking a sip and smiling for the bit of cool relief.

You then went on your way with reusable bags in one hand--beaming brightly and just seeming...happy. And it was nice.

But weird that Grimmjow even cared or was interested. He simply shrugged it off as a fluke even though he kept his eyes on you a little bit longer.

A while later, Grimmjow allowed Nel to pull him out of Hueco Mundo for a "fun night." Apparently, she had convinced Urahara to let them use some temporary, yet stable gigais' and wanted to try out the night-life-party-thing that she's heard Ichigo mention. Grimmjow didn't really care to try, but he did recall a bar fight story--that was as close to fighting humans as he could get for awhile. So why not?

And there you were again, dancing with some friends and seeming to beam with positive vibes. The music was loud and lights flashing, but Grimmjow found himself continuing to watch you. Your hips swayed in tight, white jeans and bandeau top sat pretty on your chest.

He growled when the red-head, Renji, suggested buying a drink for your group, but he didn't even have to do all that. One of your friends recognized Ichigo, so naturally the groups merged. Renji was quick to try and chat you up, and you were all smiles and laughs at his dumb jokes and easy-going smiles.

Grimmjow grunted at the scene, but for whatever reason, his eyes were still on you.

People continued to talk and walk by. Someone was running and not paying attention ended up bumping into you, but before you could tumble over too much, Grimmjow pulled you close to him with an arm around your waist.

You swore you heard him say, 'Stupid humans,' but when he didn't let go of you, you flashed him a smile and say thanks.

Nel invited the girls on the dancefloor, and while Grimmjow wanted to stay cooped up in the booth, you grabbed his hand and pulled him along. You said he dances really well, but he wouldn't know. The group had gotten bigger, and everyone kept the good times going.

As the night slowed down, Renji was back to talking to you and your friends, but before he left, you quickly gave Grimmjow a hug and handed him a piece of paper.

That had caught him off guard. He looked down and saw your name written with a group of numbers below. He wasn't sure what it meant but he could feel a tug pull at his lips.

...

Grimmjow learned he needed a phone. So as much as he hated it, he pulled a couple more jobs for that candy man before calling you. Texting was more normal he had been told, but he didn't like the idea of having to wait for a reply. There must have been a reason you gave him your number, so he could just call, right?

You sounded a bit confused when you answered, but after hearing that it was Grimmjow, you giggled and told him that you thought he lost your number. Grimmjow told you he didn't have a phone which was weird, but it didn't bother you too much. You suggested that the two of you meet up, so he agreed.

It was a date. That's what he was told. But it didn't seem like those boring sappy things he's seen Nel watch. It felt...okay. You went and got some lunch and walked around. Grimmjow asked you about your job. You asked him about his makeup. The question confused him, but he realized you meant his eyes.

'I, uh, just like it like this." Real smooth.

Grimmjow couldn't really describe the way he felt around you, but he knew he didn't hate it. He knew he liked being around you--even if you two weren't battling it out. And for some reason, he didn't like the idea of you hugging and laughing others like you did with him.

When he wasn't in his gigai, he'd swing by your place and check things out. You'd relax around the house, sit outside, clean here and there. But when you had some guy over, oh Grimmjow easily recognized that anger emotion--especially when it seemed like your eyes locked and you grinned at him outside.

As soon as that guy stepped out the door, Grimmjow was standing on the railing and glared as the man waved and walked down the stairs. He puffed and grumbled before being met with your knowing look directed his way. Which should be impossible.

"You look hotter with that bone piece by the way." But of course, nothing is.

Grimmjow tried to play it cool. "So you've noticed me around?"

You leaned against your doorframe and shrugged. "I don't always see you. But I get this tingly feeling when you're close. I like it." What you should be feeling is power and fear, but Grimmjow didn't question it out loud. "Well since you're here, would you like to come inside?"

Grimmjow simply grunted and shrug. "Eh you just had someone over."

"That doesn't mean you can't come by." You laughed as he pouted. "No need to be jealous. He's my cousin."

That comment stirred something inside him. Jealous? Is that what that feeling was? He never really thought about it before. If there was something he wanted, he'd take it. Simple. And whatever he deemed his, he'd fight to get it and keep it. Could that apply to people? But the way you smugly suggested it made it seem as if he should deny the accusation.

"Tch, I don't know what you're talking about." he huffed before hopping off the rail.

"You don't?" you chuckled before taking a step closer. "So when you were close to me at the club you weren't lurking when your red-headed friend talked to me? You didnt glare at those guys who stared while we went out for lunch?" Grimmjow grunted, so you took another step. "Okay, how about this: you'd be perfectly fine if you were peeking into my bedroom window and saw someone touching me here." you placed a hand on your bosom. "Or how would you feel if they placed their hands here?" a hand came to your hip as you got closer. "Or maybe, you'd be fine with them hearing me right in their ear," you leaned up and by his ear and gave a pleased moan. "What do you think about that?" You whispered.

You were not well-versed in the supernatural things that happened in your town. Ghosts were the only thing you were sure of, so part of you was shocked when after what felt like a breath, you were in your bedroom--Grimmjow's hand around your arm. You sat down against your soft bed and beamed innocently. "How convenient."

"Take your clothes off."

You gasped dramatically placing a hand on your chest. "Excuse me?"

Yes, Grimmjow was still getting used to the annoying array of emotions and feelings that humans seemed to deal with. However- however, there was an emotion he'd consider himself well-acquainted with: desire. Your smile was sweet and tone light, but Grimmjow could see it in your eyes. They had a fiery hunger that he'd recognized anywhere from facing off a strong new opponent to the chance to prove himself in his rightful place. You were obviously desiring of him and the possibilities of rolling around in the sheets with the arrancar.

And who was Grimmjow to deny you? His eyes mirrored yours too.

"Take. Them. Off."

Your flirty, innocent shell crack at the gruffness in his tone. The heat rose in your cheeks and an embarrassing squeal escaped once your leg was pulled and you slid to the edge of the bed. It seemed you weren't moving fast enough.

Grimmjow's ear twitched at the gasp you let out after your shorts were yanked off. You were nervous and hot and excited all at the same time but managed to find your words. "Wait, no need to rush." you reached for the collar of his jacket and pulled slightly. "I haven't even kissed you."

Grimmjow knew sex to quick and passion-filled, but for some odd reason, he paused to take his time and look at you. Your words from earlier lingered in his head. He would mind if someone was putting their hands on you. Before all of this, Grimmjow had seen you peacefully and as normal as any human he could imagine. Seeing you enjoy yourself and sought him out multiple times after the club made Grimmjow want to claim you in the entire sense of the word. He wanted to keep you for his own and explore what giving you what you wanted would lead to.

You stiffened slightly as you watched the man take a step back before reaching for his jacket and pulling it off. The whole time your eyes locked. It felt as if the longer he looks at you the hotter you became--though you felt stuck in place as well. Grimmjow's gaze on you only faltered slightly watching as you gulped nervously. That made him grin.

He wasn't shy to lean forward on and cage you in between his legs on the bed. He snickered lowly as his eyes began to darken. "Don't get all shy now. I'm here to claim what's mine." And he easily moved to kiss you and press into your soft, full lips hungrily. You moaned at the contact as well as how a hand came under your cami and rest at your waist. Grimmjow groaned at the softness. "Mmm, how tempting." he said more to himself before pulling away and kissing down your neck, nipping at near your pulse and collarbone. It felt like sparks to Grimmjow. Your soft plushness nearly made him want to go feral; your reactions egged him on to keeping exploring for as much as your pleasure and his own.

Grimmjow barely made an effort as he unclasped your bra and got it off before teasing and sucking on a nipple over the shirt fabric. Your hands held onto his shoulders and hair which made him nearly moan in response. You turned your head back and forth as he continued on while moving a hand over your stomach and into your panties. After feeling your wetness on his fingers, Grimmjow released your breast with a pop and took a deep breath.

His eyes rolled close and he purred. Some of those instincts were still there, and knowing that he was making his partner aroused and needy made Grimmjow want to dive deeper and lose himself. But you were a human. And he had to remember that. He was already aware of the fragility of those bodies, but by the way you reacted to his nips and pulls, it didn't seem like he had to hold back entirely.

It was almost like a flash that Grimmjow moved between your legs. The licks and caresses up your legs were soft and almost worship-like, but even as you struggled to hold your gaze, there was an intensity that for a second made you question whether or not you were going to survive this. That look engulfed you. You wanted to cling to the way Grimmjow's eyes held onto your soul as he continued to slowly work his way up to your core.

He licked your clit and chuckled at the way you squirmed. "Heh, I don't know if want to devour you first or get right to fuckin' you." His gaze flicked back up to you as your body searched for stimulation and relief. "What do you think?" Your arm muffled your words but moved after he pinched your leg. "Words, woman."

You took a deep breath and sighed. "Fuck me, please." And the request was a blessing to the man's ears. He pushed himself up and caged his legs around your body. He was about to gather some of your slick on his fingers when your hand reached out. Grimmjow gave you a confused look. You fumbled to get your words out. "I wanna feel it stretch..." The man opened his mouth to argue, but you continued on. "Please, I know I can take it. Please,"

So who could really deny such a delicious plea? The man grinned before lining himself at your entrance and slowly pushed in. He huffed a bit at the hint of your warmth but kept his cool. He pushed in more than out slowly fucking himself into you--a tease for himself also.

You moaned and tried to stay still as he gave you more and more. Though it seemed Grimmjow was used to rough and fast, that didn't mean he couldn't give you a mix of shallow and deep strokes. The teasing and shifts in pace kept you on your toes (almost literally). However, it was soon that the man could fully bottom out. He paused for a moment before taking in your hot flustered image. "Mine." was all he growled out then those deep strokes became more consistent and full.

You didn't cover your moans as you clenched on the sheets below. Your chest heaved up and down trying to get air in while pleasure pushed through your body. You gushed out small praises at the man; eyes rolled back after a particularly deep thrust. It stretched and filled you up inside. And Grimmjow was just as lost.

Your warmth kept him close as he felt your body cling to him. Your pleased sounds fueled him in a way he nearly forgot. The longer he looked at you the more his senses tuned into every sound you let out and cherished how your scent fogged his brain. He wanted to find all the ways he could make you feel good. He leaned forward by your ear.

"Come on pretty girl, you got what you wanted. Now it's my turn." He licked his thumb before starting to rub on your clit. "I wanna see my pretty girl cum on this dick," he huffed as you throbbed and clenched on him tighter. "You like that, huh? Wanna be all mine? Yeah, I know. You won't even think about teasing me by the time I'm done with you."

You moaned and whimpered as you felt your wave crash down on you. It was very different than any you experienced and took you a minute to realize you squirted until your ears picked up the continued praises. "What a messy girl. Good job, baby. I knew you could do it. Show me how much you like it." But Grimmjow didn't slow down, and soon you struggled to squirm and wiggle in his tight grip. His eyes focused in on where you two connected; it was like he was in trance. "I'mma fill this pussy up. Messy thing will never get enough of me." he muttered to himself before finally pulling out and painting your stomach white. He huffed a bit before looking up at your eyes.

The fiery look in those blues stirred an emotion you hadn't experienced before. The way he caressed your thighs was sweet and smile cocky, but his eyes sent a clear message while you lay below him: You were thrillingly and lustfully claimed.

~~~

Oh Grimmjow! I don't know if I could handle you in real life, but I'll definitely try my hardest!

I want there to be more Grimmjow x reader fics! I finally got this smut done, but I crave still~ I hope my fellow peeps enjoy this

Thanks for reading!

[hellaarknight]

- Ichi..

- No, and that was not supposed to happen, and I promise you that..

-Ichig...

- I'm telling you it's Urahara's fault for this one. I was supposed to be with you and not...

- ICHIGO!

- What!???

Finally, the boy stopped rambling. You were in his room, discussing the aftermath of a battle where you came face to face with Grimmjow. Sure, he was a very powerful opponent and all, but you found him insanely handsome and in the mist of the battle you just blurted out loud. Grimmjow was so taken aback by your statement that he also blurted out something strange Thanks... I think, you're not bad yourself. To say that everyone who heard that shit was flabbergasted is an understatement.

- Listen, stop making problems that do not exist! I'm fine, I'm not hurt and I managed quite well with mister blue head so can you give me and yourself a break??

Ichigo huffed and puffed. He was annoyed, angry even at the situation, but he couldn't really pin point why.

- And, if I'm being honest, I do think that Grimmjow will not try to intentionally hurt me after... Well, after what happened.

Your words did not make Ichigo feel any better. He was supposed to protect you, to keep you safe, right?

- That's... true, I guess... But still, you shouldn't face powerful opponents alone. You could get hurt, or worse, die. You aren't a shinigami and your spiritual power is not...

- Ah, so this is what all this nagging is about, huh?

Ichigo's words hurt. After all this time, all the training you've done, all your fights and wins, he still viewed you as weak. What a bother. You've done a lot to become someone helpful to him, to not drag him down in battle and who would not make him worry.

- What do you mean? You say Grimmjow saw me as a worthy opponent in battle and you're telling me that I'm someone who needs babysitting?

Your gaze and words made Ichigo flinch. He didn't consider you weak, he was just afraid to lose you. He couldn't have you stolen from him. He couldn't let you purposely put yourself in harm's way.

- That's not what I've said, it's just that you tend to be careless and I don't wanna lose you.

His last words were barely a whisper.

- What a joke Ichigo, what about trying to trust me a little, hmm? I tend to be careless? You're the one speaking? What is wrong with you today? You put it on your to do list to take it out on me? Because right now, it's not Grimmjow who's hurting me, it's you.

You got up from the bed and passed by him on your way out of the room.

- And just for your information, I've always thought you're way more handsome than blue head, but unfortunately, sometimes you're as dumb as him.

Ichigo remained silent as you made your exit, still processing what you just said. A small smile crept on his face, maybe, just maybe, he didn't screw it as bad, after all.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Bleach is full of characters who cannot fucking stand people they ostensibly work alongside. In AEIWAM, who holds the deepest, most caustic grudge(s) in Hueco Mundo and/or Soul Society?

BOY FUCKIN' HOWDY there are some deeply caustic and fucked up relationships and I dumped battery acid on the existing ones, then made up more for AEIWAM. Pick Who you want to hear about first:

Yamamoto and his Ex-Wife (OC).

Yamamoto and every single major and minor noble house, the Shiba clan, the Urahara clan, the central 46, the Punishment squad, Every Single Provincial Governor, and One Monkey Specifically.

Mayuri in General but things are particularly fucked between him and Nemu, Jizo (his zanpaktou), Captain Unohana, Kon, Kisuke Urahara, and The Actual King Of Hell.

The mans done fuckt up.

Gin is another strong contender for Worst Coworker Of All Time, esp in regards to Matsumoto and Kira, but definitely his most bizarre relationships are with Aizen and Urahara.

Speaking of Urahara, the man is a magnet for Drama, and is currently on the Shit List of... yeah, it's actually shorter to list the people Kisuke has NOT seriously pissed off at this point.

As in, among his theoretical immediate coworkers, the only people without a *specific* axe to grind with him are Matsumoto and Zaraki, and that is soley because they have not had the opportunity to work with him directly.

Yet.

If you asked Urahara to name his greatest nemesis though, he'd probably pick Don Kanonji.

In a dark horse of Drama, Retsu Unohana has recently made a discovery that's put her already-kinda-tense relationship with her medical mentor Tenjiro Kirinji in an awful new light and that is brewing into a nasty fucking brawl.

And she's only Kirinji's Second biggest Hater :)

None of the Arrancar really get along with each other, mostly because carnivores tend to be solitary and need a lot of personal space but fucking nobody likes Nnoitra.

Aizen, who hired Nnoitra, does not like Nnoitra.

You'd think his biggest hater among the arrancar would be Harribel on account of the Misogyny, but it's actually Aaroniero and Arruruerie.

...because they're not quite what they appear to be :)

Beyond the arrancar, Zaraki Kenpachi has beef with nnoitra that transcends lifetimes

Ironically, self-described self-centered asshole Grimmjow is the most social of the Arrancar, with his gang of Adjuchas followers and his extremely one-sided homoerotic rivalry with Ulquiorra and heck, he even has borderline-normal conversations with Coyote Starrk, when Coyote is awake.

Zommari and Sayzel would each beat him to death with a chiar if give half a chance, and for the same reason: Cat Hair.

Later in the Series, Grimmjow manages to move himself to the top of Yoruichi Shihon's "To Kill" list by attending the Seireitei Flower Festival.

Barragan is generally not well-liked but his most utterly seething hatred is reserved for a Roadrunner.

Speaking of Hollow-adjacent Persons, the Visoreds get along pretty well with each other, and of them Kensei and Mashiro are probably the closest, but there is Just One Thing you cannot mention around them because it will stir up a century-old and extremely bloody argument.

I'm still forming up what's going on with Yhwach and the Sternritter but DEAR GOD there is so much fucked up shit in there. Like. It's a cult there was no way this was coming out well but HOO BOY.

Lillie barro's #1 Nemesis in the Court Guards is Yachiru Kusajishi tho. She thinks he's mildly funny.

Lots of people die but the worst death so far is probably PePe Waccabrada at the hands of Retsu Unohana. He has it coming though.

Unless you count what happens to Giselle but the issue there is really that she does not die.

Definitely the most fucked up Quincy is Kanae Ishida, whose rage not even death can stop.

And of course,

Ichigo and Isshin Kurosaki

[acediaedeus]

the reason I like Grimmjow so much is, obviously, because he’s a feline-adjacent character and that’s all I really need. and that’s also why my mission in this life is to slap as many feline traits on him as possible.

but before that I need to reinforce my “cat person Ichigo” agenda, because he would definitely be one, and not just because of Grimmjow, no. I just feel like if Ichigo had to get a pet it would be a cat, because cats are rather self-sufficient and independent, they don’t require 24/7 attention (rather hate it even), their needs are easily met and over all they are quiet, calm. cats enjoy a great nap and lazing around, but do get into a playful mood at times, which all sounds to me very much like Ichigo. also I think the ways cats show affection would really appeal to him, as well as their companionable silence, their presence small, but comforting, because they let you know you’re not alone.

so, enter Grimmjow with all his feline grace, a predator to his very core, snappy and yet intelligence shines in all that he does. and when things come down to affection he is still so very cat-like with it. a cat who’s been hurt, had to fight and hunt to survive, bristly and quick to anger and oh so slow to trust. just like the stray that you see on a street, that you get down on your knees for and thrust your hand out so it can sniff it or swipe its claws at or get frightened by, forcing it to retreat, run away, whatever wins out in that stray’s mind: curiosity, flight or fight. and Grimmjow is that stray too, but pride won’t let him run away and he’s been wondering the world long enough to not be so easily swayed into what could very well be a trap by mere curiosity. that is, until Kurosaki Ichigo.

and so Grimmjow meets him and falls into his trap, not willingly, not without a fight. he hisses and growls, he yells and spits venom, he scrambles to get out, claws like daggers swiping at everything, anything, to find something to dig into, so he can pull himself out. and yet he can’t, and with time resigns himself to the fact, that he doesn’t even really want to.

Kurosaki’s presence at first disappoints, nothing, but prey in all his terror, shaking hands, erratic movements, but as the fight goes on the boy feels less and less like prey, and then his mouth is twisted into something deranged, something similar if not identical to Grimmjow’s own smile, all sharp teeth and the promise of violence. maybe not so disappointing after all. every next time they fight each other after that Kurosaki’s presence gets more intense, at times making Grimmjow’s hair stand on end. and then they don’t see each other for a long time, and then they do, and Grimmjow somehow failed to notice when Kurosaki’s presence stopped feeling like something crushing down on him, urging him to fight against whatever it is and destroy it, and more like a blanket, light, but there, seemingly insignificant and yet comforting and warm.

Kurosaki Ichigo doesn’t feel like a fight all the time anymore, although Grimmjow enjoys every second of it when he does, and he finds that he doesn’t mind it as much as he thought he would. the boy, who’s not even a boy anymore, is there, on his knees before a stray, holding out his hand, ready to bleed, but hoping for softness. and Grimmjow is that stray, ready to claw and yet choosing to trust, if only for a second. and when that trust doesn’t result in hurt, Grimmjow finds it brings security.

anyway, before I ramble even more, oh my god, what is this?!?!?? all I wanted to write was “Grimmjow and Ichigo are like those lions you see in TV programs about wildlife, nuzzling each other’s heads and then flopping down against the other for a nap”??? what is this shit 💀🙏🏻??

SMASH OR PASS ESPADA EDITION BIATCH (respectfully) ❤️

You're on!

Coyote Starrk

SMASH. Have you seen him? He's gorgeous! Also he's the number one Espada, so y'know. The power. Also I like his voice and he has a surprisingly sad backstory for a 'villain' character.

Barragan Luisenbarn

Him old and not in a hot dilf-y way. Pass.

Tier Halibel

Smash! She's gorgeous and dignified, and she's probably the least likely to accidentally (or purposefully) kill you.

Ulquiorra Cifer SMASH SMASH SMASH. C'MON FUCK ME, EMO BOY! Ugh. He's so rude and cold, and his character development is so good. Those pretty green eyes and the smooth voice. He's so fine.

Nnoitra Gilga

Pass. He's scary. I WILL say, though, I do think Nnoitra is a really well-written villain. He perfectly encapsulates what it means to be a Hollow, especially in his backstory with Nelliel and fight with Kenpachi. I do kind of hope Kubo brings him back for the Hell Arc like he did with Syazel.

Grimmjow Jeagerjaquez

LIGHT OF MY LIFE. FIRE OF MY LOINS. DO YOU KNOW HOW DOWN BAD I AM FOR THIS MAN? I literally started watching Bleach just for him. I was on a Naruto forum one day and somebody had a fanart of Grimmjow as their signature. I was like, "WHO is that fine man???" and the rest is history. I've loved him since like 2006 and he's the origins on my Junichi Suwabe fixation and one of my major villainfucker influences. Icon. Everything about him is so fucking cool, the god-tier design, the voice, the fights. Wow.

Anyways, Smash. <3

Zommari Leroux

Pass. His design is cool but then his fight with Byakuya immediately yeeted any cred he had out the window. Also he had barely enough screentime to leave any lasting impression. Szayel Aporro Granz

I can never spell this fucker's name. Anyway, Pass. Again, his character design isn't bad but the flamboyant evil nerd thing is off-putting to me. He kind of reminds me of one of those villain Pokemon team admins you fight midway through the game.

Aaroneiro Arrururie

Pass. The only time this man jar thing is hot is when he's wearing Kaein Shiba's face. And same with the Zommari issue, you never get a sense of who he is as a character because his screentime is so limited. (Another character's surname I had to google because I forgot it.) Also he lost to Rukia.

Yammy

Ew. Pass. -

Since the Espada are so hilariously divisive (half look like greek gods and the other are straight-up abominations), I'll include the ex-Espada for fun.

Luppi Atenor Pass. I'm sure the extremely androgynous look is someone's thing, but personally I like my male characters a bit more rugged. Also his personality was kind of lame and his fight with the lieutenants was nothing to write home about. Nelliel Oderschwank

PASS. I could write a literal essay on how much I dislike her, but in the interest of brevity I'll say this - her design is fantastic but that's all she's got going for her. The bitch has two personalities and both of them suck, hyperactive toddler or condescending and holier-than-thou.

Dordonii Soccacio Pass. He's so forgettable I had to google what his last name is. I don't think his design is bad but I don't really remember him except Ichigo whooped his ass and then he got drooled on by Nel.

Cirucci Sanderwicci

Smash! Goth chick solidarity ftw. It's a shame such an amazing design was given to a minor character because I love it, she's easily as pretty as Halibel but unfortunately since she had one fight and got stomped by Ishida I think the fandom forgets her. Also I like her name, it's that classic Kubo balance of being goofy but kinda cool.

Gantenbainne Mosqueda

Pass. It says something about how forgettable you are as a character when Kubo didn't even bring him back as a Mayuri zombie, instead Charlotte got revived just for being popular. (L for all Barragan's other fraccion.)

[m34gs]

*skuttles into your line of sight wearing a paper boat for a hat*

Hello hello my dear! I am coming with thoughts of a barista/coffee shop grimmichi au!

Who all works there?

Is one of them a student or is this their full time gig? Do they both there, or is one a customer? Does one or both of them hate coffee period? Does one or both of them love coffee just a tad too much? What are some favorite drinks they make or like to drink themselves? Is it a meet cute or meet scalding hot as coffee splatters across someone?

❤️❤️❤️

I eagerly await your reply! *the wind blows just a little too hard and the boat hat, which was glued to my head, turns into a paper airplane and I fly away*

*swings my lasso Indiana-Jones-style* Hang on, friend! *catches you and drags you back down to earth. I dust you off and we sit on my patio*

A barista/coffeeshop au, huh? Well, let's just see then....

I think it would be fun for both of them to be shop employees. Ichigo is a part-time employee, full-time student working his way through university. Grimmjow is a full-time employee, with the most seniority of all of them despite only being a couple years older than Ichigo. See, Grimmjow goes way back with the owner of the coffeeshop (naturally, it's Kisuke), back to when he was a troubled teen couch-surfing to get away from a bad home situation. (you know I have to add a little angst) Kisuke was the one to give him a job and actually keep Grimmjow out of trouble...for the most part.

When he starts working with Kurosaki? Oh, Grimmjow is annoyed. Ichigo is everything he wanted to be and simultaneously everything he hates. Ichigo has siblings that love him, a father who treats him with love and respect, a plethora of friends, and also incredibly strong. This grates on Grimmjow. He hates it. Despises Ichigo. Grimmjow's biggest confidence came from his strength, which he believed was because of his harsh life. A way to counter his trauma; believe that he wouldn't have gotten his strength if he didn't go through that. And now, here's this orange-haired idiot who is almost as strong and fast and resilient as Grimmjow himself, and he didn't have to suffer for it? Oh he hates him.

Except over time he starts to realize he kind of enjoys their banter. And Ichigo is actually kind of nice. And caring. And Grimmjow kind of likes the way Ichigo organizes things behind the counter, because IT MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU DO IT THAT WAY, ULQUIORRA (hc that he hates opening after Ulquiorra closes). And he thinks, well damn, maybe this guy isn't that bad. And then...and then the feelings grow. And Grimmjow goes 'oh shit'. And all the ground they made to approach a tentative friendship is shattered as he freaks out. They go back to fighting and arguing and it becomes nearly unbearable to have them work together. Until one night, they are both closing. And it all comes to a head...leading to a fiery fight followed by a...spicy...make out session. mwahahahahaha.

I would think Grimmjow doesn't really like coffee all that much. He drinks it once in a while, but not that often. Ichigo? He can't get enough of it. He's working so hard at his job and school and trying to carve out time with friends. He's got a caffeine addiction, but he also never looks fully awake either. Boy is running on fumes. Grimmjow is gonna have to fix that.

Grimmjow hates making anything fancier than a simple iced coffee. Ichigo can make just about anything. In fact, he does. More than once, even, Grimmjow has had to remove the coffee cup from Ichigo's hands because Ichigo is on break and wanted a drink to "wake up"; and Grimmjow witnessed him dump an ungodly amount of sugar into 16 shots of espresso. (Grimm. Save your boy.)

Hmmm, that's what I can think of! What about you? Who would you assign what roles? Would you add any more angst? Do they get a super happy ending to make up for all the fighting? How many times does Kisuke have to kick them out of the back for getting hot and heavy in the breakroom? 😏😏😏

Part 5 of The House That Valerie Built

Part 1: There's No Sun in Here Part 2: Watch Your Step Part 3: The Magic Kiss Part 4: Happy Birthday, Yves Kloss!

Summary:

The woman who greets her when she looks into the mirror looks tired. And no wonder - her sleep last night was fitful, interspersed with tears and thoughts both anxious and sad. "It's just a number," she mutters angrily, running warm water and filling her spray bottle with it. "Why are you so upset about a stupid number?"

Read on AO3

“Well?” Her face is buried in her pillow, and it makes her voice come out muffled. “Aren’t you going to tell me that I’m being a little bit ridiculous?”

Jushiro’s voice is always gentle when he speaks to her, and this is no exception. She can’t see him, but she feels the pressure on one side of the bed as he sits next to her. “Why would I tell you that?” 

“Because,” she starts, raising her head from the pillow slightly to look at him. “Thirty-nine is just a drop in a bucket. Compared to you, compared to Leonardo, even compared to Grimm.” 

She waits for him to agree with her. Instead, his brow furrows as he considers her words. 

“I think,” he says finally, “that your experience is your own, and you shouldn’t feel compelled to compare it with anyone else’s.” He pauses, flashing her a smile so wide his green eyes momentarily disappear. “If thirty-nine upsets you, then those are your feelings, and no one can - or should try to - take them away from you.”

Valerie sits up fully and squints at him. “Do you really mean that?” 

He doesn’t take offense at her question. “With all my heart,” he replies with another smile. He reaches out, using his fingertips to gently fluff the flattened right side of her hair. “You slept without your bonnet last night,” he observes. 

Suddenly self-conscious, she puts her hands up to her hair, trying to even it out with her own fingertips and fearing she’s only making it worse. “I didn’t mean to… I guess I was just so tired that I forgot to put it on.” 

Jushiro laughs. “All it needs is a little water and some moisturizer, and it’ll be good as new again.” He stands up, leaning over to press a kiss to her forehead. “You should come out to the living room and join us when you’re ready,” he says. “You can probably smell it from here - some of the boys took it upon themselves to make your favorites. He’d probably flay me if he knew I told you this, but Yves is particularly anxious about the cake. He won’t let anyone have any until you’ve had the first slice.” With one more sweet smile, he exits the room, leaving Valerie alone with her thoughts. 

--

She doesn’t sit long after he’s gone; in the brief time that the bedroom door was open, she could hear excited chatter and catch the scent of delicious food. Her stomach reminds her that she hasn’t eaten anything since the previous night, and it moves her to get up.

The woman who greets her when she looks into the mirror looks tired. And no wonder - her sleep last night was fitful, interspersed with tears and thoughts both anxious and sad. “It’s just a number,” she mutters angrily, running warm water and filling her spray bottle with it. “Why are you so upset about a stupid number?” 

She’s still styling her curls when she hears the bedroom door open. A few seconds later, the scent of bergamot hits her and her reflection’s eyes meet a pair of blue ones. “I’m sorry it’s taking me so long,” she murmurs around the bobby pin she’s holding between her teeth. “I’ll be done in a minute.” 

“Ain’t rushin’ you,” Grimmjow says, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning against the doorframe. 

Valerie pauses a beat. Then, “You talked to Jushiro,” she surmises. 

He nods, saying nothing. 

“He didn’t tell me I’m being ridiculous, but I bet you will,” she laughs, a little self-deprecatingly. “And I would deserve it. I know I’m being silly.” 

In the mirror, she can see him incline his head to the side, his brow furrowed. “You wanna talk about it? Tell me all about why you think it’s silly?” 

She secures the pin in her hair, effectively putting the finishing touches on it, before turning to face him. “Like I told Jushiro,” she starts quietly, “it’s a drop in a bucket to people like you, him, and Leonardo.” 

“And what about to people like you?” He asks. “Is it a drop in a bucket to people like you?” 

Chewing her lower lip thoughtfully, she considers his question a moment. “No,” she says. “To us, it’s nearly half our lives - if we’re lucky.” 

“Well there you go,” Grimmjow laughs. “You keep measurin’ your feelings by a yardstick that doesn’t apply to you, of course you’re gonna be upset.” He moves closer to her, leaning down so he can look her in the eye. “About those thirty-nine years you got under your belt,” he goes on. “Tell me how you feel about ‘em.” 

“Overall?”

He nods. 

“That’s kind of a loaded question,” she laughs. “But I guess if I had to answer it simply, I’d say that I’m alright with them.” 

“Tell me why.”

Valerie thinks about it for a minute. “I’ve made lots of mistakes in my lifetime. But I’ve tried to own up to those mistakes honestly and use what I learned from them to make me a better person. I try to do the right thing when I can, and try to do good things often. I love the people in my life and try to make sure I show it and not just assume that they know how I feel. I work hard, I live honestly, and I do what I can to seek happiness for myself and others.” She stops talking, seemingly surprised. “Hm.”

Grimmjow is smiling at her now, a little smugly. “‘Hm’, what?”

“You tricked me,” she pouts. 

“Did I?” He chuckles. “How’s that?” 

“You know how,” she mumbles. She looks away from him briefly, but when she looks back, she’s smiling too. “Thank you.” Her words are soft and quiet, her voice trembling a little as though she’s trying to hold back tears. “I know I’ve been in an awful mood this week.” 

He shrugs. “Ain’t you allowed, every once in a while?” Without giving her a chance to answer, he tucks an errant curl back into the fold with its brethren. “You wanna go for a drive a little later, when all the festivities are said and done? Just you and me?” 

“I’d like that,” she answers honestly. “It’s been a while.” 

“Yeah,” he agrees. He turns to leave the room, presumably to let her finish getting ready. Just before he opens the door, he looks back, offering her a smile. “Happy Birthday, baby.” 

~Fin~

[New AO3 Fic!] Whoops, All Spirits!

Zangetsu and the Old Man are both sick of this. Ichigo is the most oblivious idiot on the planet. Anyone (read: everyone he knows) can see he's into Grimmjow, except the Arrancar himself and an awkward misunderstanding stemming from cultural (read: weird hollow) differences is going to absolutely wreck any change Ichigo ever has to get what (or who) he truly wants. So his Zanpakuto spirits resolve to step in and fix it, they're just, well... Kind of batshit insane about it.

or

Ichigo and his Zanpakuto spirits swap places due to a harebrained scheme to get him and Grimmjow together by Christmas.

[ulquiorrapleasecallmetrash]

I just found your blog and omg it's a blessing, could I request either sfw or nsfw Ulquiorra with his female Fraccion who is pretty loud and obnoxious (literally a female version of Grimmjow) I hope you have a good day/night! 🖤

`Ulquiorra Cifer with a loud and obnoxious fraccion s/o sfw and nsfw Headcanons:

Fandom: Bleach

Rated: 16+ mayyyybe? The NSFW bit isn't that descriptive but I put a warning just in case!

Warnings: slight nsfw

Admin Harmony🐯: Aw thank you so much for calling my blog a blessing! I find that to be very flattering and hilarious. I have been laughing at your compliment ever since I read this haha. I hope you enjoy this!

┏━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━┓┏━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━┓┏━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━┓

-When Ulquiorra first met his fraccion one word he could really think in his head was this- obnoxious. 

-The only reason why he agreed for you to be his fraccion was for your usefulness and nothing else. 

-You have unique powers that couldn’t quite match to any other arrancar and Aizen spoke highly of you before the two of you met. So, before meeting you he decided to take up on Lord Aizen’s Fraccion suggestion.

-Surely, you would be smart, diligent, and capable just like him… well- he was wrong. 

-He couldn’t believe that Lord Aizen would suggest someone who acts just like Grimmjow to be his fraccion.

-So when he sees you picking fights with Nnoitra or getting angry by what Grimmjow had said about you he would just think of you as an idiot. 

-And oftentimes will pull you away from any confrontation. Which, he isn’t happy about it at all. 

-And of course, he would verbally scold you for being like this. 

-This would lead you to roll your eyes and give a sarcastic remark to him. Which he loathes greatly. 

-Though, you are entertained when you can  get a rise out of him, though subtly there are a little details where you notice.

-Such as the clear annoyance in his voice, his fist clenching, scoffing and an eye roll when he is very not pleased.

-You knew his “no feelings” mask was cracking because like it or not - annoyance is still a feeling. 

-And the look on his face when you tell him this- was priceless. 

-Of course he would try not to show his anger but he can’t help it. You’re just soooo annoying. 

- But what made him finally realized your true value was when Aizen said, “If you truly don’t want her to be your fraccion then you are capable enough to kill them.  It’s your choice.” 

- Obviously, he hesitated. And that made him do a lot of self-reflecting which means, he alot of distance from you. 

-So then he started to think about your worth besides your powers. 

-Your quirkiness, how you are good at taking orders,  your over all positive presence makes him feel slight better. Along with your smile. 

-You were a great fraccion, but he wouldn’t tell you that to your face. 

-So, he decides to keep you alive and to be your fraccion, not knowing he was developing feelings for you.

┏━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━┓┏━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━┓���━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━┓

-With a s/o who is very loud and obnoxious I can expect them to be more dominating. 

-Which I think for once Ulquiorra would not mind especially since during the day he is always the sensible and responsible one. 

-plus his lack of knowledge with sex and intimacy does not help either. 

-So you will basically get a very submissive Ulquiorra in the long run. 

-Which took a bit of time and trust to let you do this because he always thinks of himself as the boss and gives all the demands. 

-But once he sees you in his place he definitely values a lot more now than he did before. 

-The way you tease him but also praise him makes his head foggy. 

-How your light touches and words of comfort when he feels very uncomfortable and vulnerable. 

-You remind him that it’s okay to have these feelings and for him to trust you. 

- And he does. Though it does take him some time. 

-Compliment him and tell him how much of a good boy he is when he does. This makes him even more encouraged to let everything and get into his headspace.

[atiny-piratequeen]

That’s really fascinating!! Are there certain childhood characters from all those different animes that you automatically translate or envision when writing a member?

Also do you prefer angst, fluff or smut? I enjoy an angsty fic that runs me over every now and again. But for the most part, I like seeing fics of the older members being overprotective of their youngers, those angst fics where the ending leaves you nothing but sighing in content. How bout you?

OH HERE WE GO

Before i start nerding out-

I def prefer smut with a good plot lead up. I feel my best smut works are the ones that actually have something behind them other than just jumping into booty bumpin. Aside from that i do enjoy angst but its mostly in these fantastical settings where everyone's grinding and doing their best and it pays off. I cant sit through angsty fics that have no light at the end of the tunnel perse *wheeze* i definitely love fics where characters are protective over their loved ones and are willing to swing for them, *chef kiss*

As for the character archetypes i gravitate to specifically with the teezers? (Imma put it under the cut bc im about to be a fucking nerd

Hongjoong the Protagonist(tm) that has a rough life growing up in some way shape or form and we usually pick up with him coming to terms with a newfound power dynamic. Very good boy. Underestimate him and you die. The moment i read this ask i thought of Atsushi from Bungo stray dogs so here we are

Seonghwa is a tricky one because i dont think of one character. He's got the tall dark handome mystery of Sebastian, but hes also an absolute goofball and while I do tend to write him leaning into the leader or right hand man role, he comes with this quiet "i wont hesitate, bitch" vibe when i write him

Yunho,,,baby boy's got the "loyal best boy" trope. I write Yunho a lot like Yamamoto from KHR. He's the boy next door, but he's probably the most capable man most of the others know and hes a general all around ace. He's another one i like to write as one people shouldnt sleep on because Yunho is always at the top 5 of the "fuck around and find out" list when angry in my fics.

Yeosang. My beloved. My baby. Absolute sweetie pie. He's Hinata. Hands down I write him like Hinata. Tons of untapped potential that'll be realized once he comes out of his shell. 10/10 will put in pocket

I write WooSan pretty similar to how they are on stage. Dynamic, feed well off of each other. I cant think of an exact character for Woo but for San its 10000% Hans Humpty from Rokka no Yuusha because stabby catboy

Mingi, and im talking exclusively AtT Mingi kinda has been giving me a cynical tanjiro aura recently. Hes been delt a shit hand and he's still gonna work towards saving you know who but hes definitely..tired. mans needs a cupcake.

As for jongho. I have entirely too many characters mix matched into him. Hes got a bit of everything but since ive been clearly leaning towards AtT when describing how i write them, i might as well finish by saying jongho and whiro are the only ones i write who are CONSTANTLY ready for a fight. Absolutely feral. Apeshit. Go big or go home. And ive been saying it for years but i see Grimmjow everytime i write Whiro and Jongho fighting so absolutely him

Gossip Girl: Bad Romance Chapter 2

Trigger warning: Mentions of suicide attempts, sexual assault.

Still no signs of S or Z so far. These two are getting better at hiding their whereabouts and motives which is a good thing given the explosive weeks we have had so far. As we speak, everyone is looking out for the duo. Everyone wants to catch a glimpse of them, especially S, given his reputation, especially in light of his contract. Sources tell me that a lot of record labels worldwide want to sign S because regardless of the scandals, he is still a valuable star. Funny because the powers that be want S to remain blacklisted, meaning no music. No performance. 

We are talking about the former face of Aogiri here who became the biggest boyband within the span of like 3 years. But only time will tell if the group will be able to work that same magic especially since a lot of fans have started boycotting the group in protest to S' maltreatment. Some fans even stated that this maltreatment started way before he was eventually kicked out. I wonder if Z has something up his sleeves. Perhaps that could be why he took S away to wherever they went to. 

Still, the S saga is getting pretty interesting. Like who cares what SU, E, and the others still on the Upper East Side are doing when the power couple were always the main draws to begin with? Without those two, the Upper East Side loses a lot of steam. Let's just wait and see. 

XOXO, 

Gossip Girl.

Grimmjow gets down to work and begins to gather up the files needed. Some industry insiders that he knows of have sent him the evidence needed to expose the Puddings. How these people managed to escape jail time is anyone's amazement. But then again, money talks. He himself had a nasty experience with Charlotte's older sister Eliza years ago. So this is vengeance not just for Sanji and himself but for every single person that family hass screwed over.

At that moment, his phone began to ring. He picks up. "Hi Elliot." 

"I have sent some more data to your e-mail. Trust me, you would be mindblown by this discovery." Grimmjow goes through the data sent to him and is stunned. The data presented clear evidence that exposed the nefarious contract Sanji was forced to sign. Elliot managed to get information and even bribed the lawyer of the record label to cough up that info. According to the deal presented, Sanji was stripped of 99% of his earnings, leaving him with only peanuts. Basically 50 dollars per promotional cycle.

All his endorsement deal earnings went to the record label despite the fact that he was the reason the group became a thing in the first place. Meaning that the entire group was broke and do not realize it. Or maybe Eren is the only one who knew and ended up dating Sukuna to pay his way out of his debt. Heck, Sanji allowed Lelouch to join even though the others protested. In fact, speaking of Lelouch, the now former manager of the group Kisuke Urahara who resigned from the job about two years in stated that there were incidents of Eren bullying Lelouch. Sanjii was the only one being nice to Lelouch. 

It will only be a matter of time before Lelouch finally announces his departure from the group now that Sanji is no longer there to save him. "What a terrible mess. This poor guy does not deserve this shit." He knows what to do next. He had already told Zoro his plan and now is the time to act. The more people that know the better.

In Manhattan, Sukuna and Eren are at a newly opened fancy bar having a chat. "You know, I have always wanted to know this pretty face for a while. Never got the chance to." says Sukuna. Eren chuckles. "Well, I used to come from Philly but then moved to Atlanta with my family when I was 8." Sukuna raises an eyebrow. "Really?" 

Eren nods as he sips his Martini. "People always get shocked when I say that." 

"That's because you do not sound or act like a Philly kid." Eren just giggles when he says that. 

"What about you Resident Bad Boy extraordinaire?" 

"I was always born here in Manhattan. Dad and Mum divorced when I was 5. Been living with mum ever since. Though Dad and I keep in touch."

"Sounds similar to my own family. My older brother lives with dad. Myself and my younger sister live with mum."

"How are you finding the Upper East side?" 

"It is quite interesting. Loads of rich people." he says in a joking manner. "Oh you will love it once I work my magic." What Sukuna does not realize that Eren has some secret motives of his own.

*********************************************************************

Sanji groans as he stares at his reflection in the mirror for the first time in weeks. Zoro was still asleep. He had been running away from the mirror for a long time as he hated his reflection. How he and Zoro managed to evade the paparazzi is anyone's guess. But this is Zoro they are talking about after all. "God I look like shit." He used to be the shiny golden boy, Mr Picture Perfect, the guy everyone wanted to date or fuck or both. At times he believes that his looks distract from his talent. Like hello!! The ladies called him King Nasty then because he was that sexy. But then again, that is a well-known idol curse. No one cares about the talent so long as you are good-looking.  Well, depends on the way you are packaged because idols at the end of the day are disposable goods. Once you have served your purpose, they cast you aside.

He stares at his face. His wounds from the punches Sukuna gave him that day had healed but his eyes and nose look weird now. He lifted up the fringe of his hair at the left side and there was a nasty scar on the side of his head. He shot himself there as the pressure was getting to him. How he survived is anyone's guess. Yet he is still here. He then stares at the rest of his body. There were visible scars on there, some old others new. The recent ones were from Sukuna.

Why did he hook up with Sukuna then? Like, there were a lot of red flags. He got carried away with his emotions and allowed that bastard and everyone else to manipulate and eventually blackball him. This was not the first time. The last time this happened was when he was like 12 or 13 when he and Charlotte started dating. The girl put something in his drink that day and it knocked him out, giving the bitch the opportunity to film that sex tape. The disgusting part? She had the audacity to sleep with his then-best friend that same day. How did he find out? He saw them and packed his bags and moved to the Upper East Side and never looked back. 

If the bitch thinks he would come back crawling to her, she should think again. Anger begins to overwhelm him as he thinks about the betrayals he was subjected to. "Fuck them....FUCK EVERY SINGLE DAMN ONE OF THEM!!" He sinks to the floor and starts crying again. It is not like he cannot call his family but it is best they do not get bothered by him. 

"Sanji..."

He looks up to see Zoro who was rubbing his eyes. Sanji flares up almost immediately and grabs Zoro by his shirt. "THIS!! ALL THIS SHIT IS YOUR FUCKING GODDAMN FAULT!!" Zoro does not say a word because Sanji had a point. He could have helped earlier. Perhaps he chose not to do so out of anger for Sanji dumping him back then."YOU!! YOU HAD ALL THE MONEY AND CONNECTIONS IN THE WORLD AND YET YOU LEFT ME TO SUFFER!! ALL BECAUSE OF THAT MOTHERFUCKER SUKUNA!! AND YET YOU BROUGHT ME HERE!! TO A COUNTRY I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!! FOR WHAT HUH?!! JUST TO BOOST YOUR EGO OF COURSE!! BECAUSE YOU WERE THE FUCKING KING OF THE UPPER EAST SIDE!!"

"Sanji that is enough!!"

"NO IT IS NOT!! I HAVE SO MUCH TO GET OFF MY FUCKING CHEST!! I AM TIRED OF BEING SILENCED!!" Tears keep flowing down his eyes. "WHAT IS THE POINT OF BEING AN IDOL OR ANYTHING?! I KNOW FOR SURE THAT I HAVE BEEN BLACKLISTED BY THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY!!" Sanji starts sobbing. "I....I do not know what to do with my life anymore. I cannot sing anything or rap or do anything music-related." 

Zoro smirks. "Who told you I was not working on something." Sanji pauses and stares at him. "What do you mean?"

"I contacted an old friend of mine in New York and he is getting in contact with a private investigator and a couple of industry insiders that know those bastards. Charlotte and her stupid family outsmarted me and managed to hide as much evidence as could incriminate them. Not so much now. Once we gather as much information, we are taking them down. As for your career, why did you think I brought you to Shinjuku in the first place?"

Sanji's eyes widen in shock. "Y-You did this for me?" Zoro smiles softly and hugs Sanji. "Babe you and I have a long history. All these bitches envy our love and wish to tear us apart. Not this time." Sanji smiles and hugs him tightly. "Thank you Marimo!!" Zoro grins. "You will get the justice you deserve."

Grimmjow did not waste time and immediately set up a special Twitter account and began to post all the evidence that had been found about Charlotte and her family, including Charlotte sexually assaulting Sanji thus producing the tape. The Internet shut down that day. Other information that was revealed was Judge Vinsmoke's past abusive behaviour towards his son and the current sexual assault with actual footage that showed Judge actually raping his son and Zoro saving his ass.

"This is horrible!!" a fan exclaims. Immediately #JusticeForSanji began to trend online as people came forward to give Sanji love and support. "Fuck those bastards!! He does not need that stupid group!! He is a bigger star than them!!" says another fan. Lelouch soon announces via Twitter that he was no longer in Aogiri and left tthe moment Sanji was kicked out.

I am sick of the lies and bullying. These bitches never cared for Sanji or me. They only hung around Sanji because of his popularity and once he got that, they discarded him. Evil souls. I no longer wish to participate in this farce. I am out. #JusticeForSanji

A lot of fans applauded Lelouch for this and #ThankYou Lelouch began trending.

Zeff smirks at this development. He always knew that Charlotte was bad news. "This is definitely Zoro's handiwork eh?" The other Vinsmokes came forward about their father.

"We were scared to speak up because this man has threatened to ruin us or end our lives.:" says Reiju via a livestream on Instagram which ended up with her breaking down in tears.  Judge is immediately arrested for his crimes. Not just him but the Pudding family, and their many accomplices too thanks to the lawsuit that Zoro secretly filed on Sanji's behalf.

Meanwhile, Sukuna and the rest of Aogiri watch in horror as everything unfolds. "Man we seriously underestimated Zoro." says Natsu. "WE ARE NEXT!!" Eren shouts. Sukuna does not say anything and is just frozen. How long did it take for Zoro to put all this together? This is his handwork or he probably paid someone to do this for him. Either way, well played.

"Whoa!! This is huge!!" says Sanji, his face lighting up with a smile as he watches everything unfold. "Looks like we have a date in court," says Zoro with a smirk. 

Just when we thought things were going to be calm and peaceful, the opposite finally happens. Looks like Z finally flexed his muscles and put C and her family plus S' dad in the slammer. Now we await the big court date. I am sure that the power couple will finally make their long-awaited comeback. Oh, I can't wait. Now I have to go find my best outfit for this case. This is gonna be hot!!

XOXO,

Gossip Girl

[chronicvagabonds]

it's funny how you want me to refresh your memory but after reading your reply, i might as well just copy and paste it because we're very similar when it comes to our faves lmaoskjds 💀

bleach is the only big, long anime/manga that i really got into besides inuyasha (my beloved) and it's been on my mind so much recently. the following yapping is most likely not spoilerfree

little teenage me watched the only episodes available (like what 10 years ago atp?) and couldn't get enough, so i switched to manga as well and read the entire thing lol

since they've picked up the anime again recently (thousand blood war arc) i've been getting back into watching it for nostalgia reasons but also because the recent animations REALLY do give the manga the appreciation it needed (imo)

you 🤝 urahara 🤝 me. bc why is he just so sksjkdfm. such a tease, but so helpful but also mysterious and honestly not someone you should naively trust with your life but that's what unfortunately makes him so great 💀 even more when they drop crumbs of his lore and backstory. honestly, might as well add yoruichi (miss thunderbeast black cat) into this mix bc both of them go hand in hand. 😤 my ultimate bleach crushes

adding to the list of shinigamis that i love would be Kenpachi with Yachiru. god, i love that guy 😩😩😩 everything about him. from his looks, to his manners (or lack of), background, how he became a captain, just big guy swing big sword but soft spot for little girl (whose bankai reminds me a lot of them hehe). AND KENPACHI'S BANKAI KSNDKJBD AS IF THIS MAN COULDN'T TURN INTO AN EVEN WORSE BERSERKER 👹👹👹 love that he didn't cast aside his usual demeanor when he "had to figure out his zanpakuto's name" to be able to use its powers properly (instead of just reishi zapping everywhere) and this guy just went something like "i don't care about your name. as long as you want to break and slice through shit as much as i do, we'll work great" and did 💀💀💀💀

ulquiorra was my MAN 😩😩 i used to draw him and grimmjow (he was just the perfect amount of assholey and friendly, plus his panthersuit meooow~) all. the. time. he's just my little emo boy trying to figure out the concept of humanity and what makes someone human. and omg. if the moment you mention between orihime and him is the same one i'm thinking of then.. 👀

i sent you an ask in the first place because i had watched the scene where he goes something like "tell me, what is a heart? if i tore a hole in your chest, would i see it? if i split open your skull, would it be there?.. i see now, in the palm of my hand.. is a heart." and i just thought 'damn, this is something yumi would write and ruin me with' and now we're here 🤪 tite kubo knew what he was doing when he put orihime and ulquiorra together. a living being, incarnation of love, healing and care with a being that only has a 'hollow heart', so so perceptive to everything but so clueless when it comes to orihime's warmth. just heartbreaking 😭

other arrancars that i took a 'liking' to are nelliel, nnoitra and szayelaporro. for nelliel, i would have loved more screentime in her adult form. she just seemed like such a sweetheart (in contrast to a lot of arrancar nature). when it comes to nnoitra it's entirely based on his concept and transformation bc he's probably one of the more dickheaded and nasty arrancars lmao. and i am a big sucker for scythes which he has plenty of when in his praying mantis form. just the unhinged nature. speaking of, i wouldn't even look in szayelaporro's direction if i could but the only reason he's on the list is bc of his fight with mayuri *shudders* 🫥🫥 something about tite kubo putting the two "scientists" against each other and one's concept is fertility/rebirth and the other.. re-creation of life but through science and immoral means lmao. i remember feeling so icky watching that fight.

my favorite arc has always been with the arrancars and hueco mundo. all of them representing a sin or emotion and the concept of 'hollow hearts' just intrigues me so much. really there's a lack of.. social etiquette in those vast lands which portrays every arrancar in such unique ways. and i'm just soo in for the hollowfication of characters (that one hollow ichigo form where he's just fully transformed and looks like a deviled bull?? *groans*)

speaking of icky, quincys are meant to be this holy and/or royal bloodline but a lot of their powers are far from anything i'd call holy 💀 maybe only in the sense that any normal human being would collapse in their presence (queue angel's true form "do not be afraid") äs nödt, giselle, gremmy and liltotto make it on my list of.. interesting quincys. you can just throw äs nödt and giselle into one and the same box of fuckign creppy, help me. äs nödt's only flaw being that it fears dying and going to hell when it itself is THE incarnation of FEAR ITSELF and uses it in its fight against rukia (which btw one of the most gorgeous bankais hands-down) and giselle who can form her own little zombie army just 🤺🤺🤺 BACK I SAID!!! i love that gremmy's strength and flaw is his mind. he embodies the concept of mental strength but also manifestation with it and it's oddly.. a very human concept? but it ends up bringing him to ruins when he loses grasp on his.. confidence but feels at peace all the same? especially in the fight against zenpaki (who is just as confident in himself) it felt like such a nice ending? idk and the only reason i love liltotto is because of their concept. small girl, surrounded by eccentric quincy girlies, goes chomp chomp, always hungry and just deadpans at everything. my bestie <33

one of my favorite episodes are probably whenever Kon (ichigo's stuffed animal) would take over his body lmao. everything was usually so intense and brutal but (usually) not when ichigo was back home, bedresting. but also that one episode where all the captain's showed up in his room during his recovery i- 💀💀💀 they relied on him TOO much

honourable mention of aizen's and ichigo's fight. i remember holding my breath. how do you defeat THE ORIGINAL MANIPULATOR?!? but laaawd. their "final" forms looked so GEEEEWWDDD 🫨🫨🫨 rip 😪

omfg you can tell i never got to just absolutely yapp someone's ear off about this franchise. there is so much i ended up deleting. i might as well just write the manga myself when i have so much to say. bleach enthusiasts (who love the story and characters more than they spend time arguing about if fillers were necessary or not) are so so rare. 😭 so DEFINITELY hit me up, hit me up when you 🫵 pick it up or wanna yap about it again. and now that you mention it and after talking about it so much i wanna go back and re-read it 😣 i might wait for them to finish the anime (end 2024 i believe unless they prolong the arc) first though.

i was snooping around your blog and saw that you also like bleach (the anime/manga) 👀 are you still following the new seasons or did you stop at some point?

do you have any favorite: character, shinigami (shikai/bankai), arrancar (abilities/resurrecion), quincy/sternritter (abilities/shift), visored, hollows, arcs? special moments that have stuck with you (positively/negatively)?

it's so rare for me to find someone else into it lol so you got me curious now~

•🃏

omgg when i tell you that bleach is the love of my life, possibly my fav manga ever (or at least one of my fav)!! i started reading and occasionally watching (bc i was more of a reader) back in 2012 until the manga ended (somewhere around... 2016?) and then i reread the whole thing again and watched whatever episodes were available :'))

i don't read mangas anymore, i sometimes watch anime (not very often) but i still cherish bleach so much. and omg seeing those terms made me go *blink blink* bc it's been so long i had to google to confirm what some of those were!

and that's why my answers might not make sense BUT I HAVE FAVS. definitely. firstly, ichigo, ofc. esp when he attained bankai. kisuke urahara is also my biggest anime crushes (also my anime crushes are such a strong indicator of my type). from the arrancars, i remember how obsessed i was with ulquiorra and grimmjow (ulquiorra's arc and the way he died? and the scene with orihime still lives in my head rent free).

i honestly don't remember much but i remember being a fan of the ishidas too. i also have the softest spot for rukia and byakuya, kenpachi and the little girl that tags with him. toshiro's powers always fascinated me the most and aizen was so hot for being the villain lmao. and omg ywach!! always gave me the chills.

i think my fav arc was when (the explanation's gonna suck) the soul society is in... shambles? with ywach and the other espadas. thousand year blood war or sth? basically before the manga ends. i think the ending and opening of this anime are perfection.

i think this is my cue to reread bleach bc i've been wanting to reread (and hopefully getting back into reading manga) for a while now. since the last time i touched this manga was in 2016, my knowledge is very dusty if you can't tell already-- but if i pick it up again, i'm bothering you 🫵 bc it really is rare to find a bleach enthusiast! i need to hear your fav moments and fav characters too, come on. refresh my memory (and give me the push to pick bleach again)
