if I'm browsing the Ichiruki tag it's because I want something shipping IchiRuki, not because I want to read you bitching out another fandom. The two are not the fucking same.

Oh my god I don't want to read it because I don't think my blood pressure could take it but 'I feel as if IH shippers only read what’s on the surface,' D: D: D: DX DX DX

Holy fuck there is nothing on this tag that isn't bitchiness or passive aggressiveness or 'LET'S TALK ABOUT ANOTHER FANDOM.' That's it, it's official, the fandom's dead, and these people suck. GOOD. NIGHT.

get tumblr savior, your eyes will thank you

Savior "anti ichihime", it'll weed out a fuckton of the idiots and you'll mostly get fanarts and shit.

Unfortunately, that didn't do shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

I'm on page like. 14 and the occasional fanart has been awesome, but it's like. Maybe two per page. It's mostly 1) Bitching about IchiHime fans 2) Bitching about Orihime 3) Bitching about Fanart

4) Bitching about WHY ISN'T IT CAAANONNNN 5) anime manips 6) passive agressive anime manips 6) angry memes

How is this fandom is still alive. It's like an angry rotting corpse. It seems like the asian wing is the only one still pumping out material

They don't even tag it as anti-ichihime or anti-origo, just as Ichiruki, and it's like. Bitch your hate ain't fandom.

Dude. dude. Someone took. The time. And patience. To analyze some anime promo picture by drawing red lines from their eyesight, showing how Ishida was looking at Orihime who was staring at Ichigo who was

totally staring at Rukia who was staring back OMGSOCANON

Ignoring that, by that logic, Chad must want to fuck the fuck out of Ishida

At least according to this one random anime promo pic

"I will never understand why people don't ship IchiRuki..." An Essay (not tagged.) LET ME SPARE YOU THE TIME: Behold! People have different tastes Oh yes, revolutionary, I KNOW

(oh wait it was tagged. STILL AN IDIOT. Just an idiot who tagged their idiocy to match. How polite.)

Also who is this missy-skye goon and why doesn't she just calm the balls down. If Ichihime fans bug you so damn much, stay out of the tag. You don't like the ship?

Yeah that side of bleach lost it I am afraid

Yeah, it's dead. Dead and gone. Is it unfair to judge a fandom's liveliness by the amount of fanwork they produce? Because by that metric, the IchiRuki fandom is dead, all you have left is people bitching

because it's dead but by god, they will argue

Yeah, because it's just easier to destroy something than to build it up. It's easier to hyper analyze half a second of screencap as proof that THE BIG MEAN ORIGOS ARE CRAZY AND DELUSIONAL

Rather than building something within the context of what canon has given you which, for Ichiruki, would require some active problem solving ergo work.

RIGHT

Holy shit

It was not like this in 2004

Remember when the biggest bitching came from people saying us shippers were getting out nasty girl cooties all over their shounen?

I'm surprised you haven't seen personal attacks yet. They do love their personal attacks!

No, I see it, I just fucking skimmed over it because my blood pressure can't handle it

I remember when people thought Chad was going to get significant development in the arrancar arc

Poor Chad.

But Orihime's feelings for Ichigo were more blatant and earlier than anything else D: IchiRuki was always us MINING for material whereas Orihime always wore her heart on her sleeve for Ichigo.

He even got sidelined in his own arc! FOR ORIHIME.

As soon as the battle with her brother was done it was pretty damn obvious what was going to happen. WE KNEW THIS D: Some of us were even counting it for delicious angst! (Bleach Opera!)

Lol oh poor Chad

Now that you guys are around I have to find that picture

(Conclusion: Chad really wants some Quincy action )

lol her alternative love interests that, as far as I can tell, were made up by most of fans. But. You know. How could she

That's another thing I don't get. For the longest time in the arrancar arc that side said they wanted the old Orihime back. As soon as the lost agent arc began they whines she had lost all her maturity!

What is the old Orihime? The one they argued was ~unempowered~

The one they said was weak?

And not good enough?

God knows.

Test time, read this page (way way ahead in the manga) and tell me what your first thought is www.mangainn.com/manga/c...

It's so sad too because when someone posts something actually IchiRuki it's all 'D'aaaaw' but its bittersweet because everything else is frothing at the mouth

Don't click if you don't like huge spoilers

Yeah it's that. Started out liking it as my OT3 then things went to hell

What my first thought is? Second helpings of pickles and cabbages? Man, I am getting gipped by my uni's cafeteria. Second helpings of pickles sounds sweet

OH HOLY SHIT

That's---

Okay

SECOND thought

Holy Oedipus Complex, Batman

I'm so happy Kubo is telling Masaki's story. Part of the reason I dropped Bleach was I thought Tite would never follow through on some of the hints he seemed to be laying out.

But yeah, the Orihime and Masaki connection is very, very strong

Lol, you know who that is now right?

Masaki, Ichigo's mom?

Who apparently was living with the Ishida family. SHIIIIT I NEED TO CATCH UP THIS IS SO COOL. This is the perfect follow up to the mystery of Masaki <3<3

Masaki is different from Hime (battled geared just like Ichigo) but the first time this chapter came out people went to lengths to show they weren't similar in the slightest

Yeah just read the next 8 chapters which shows how she and Ishhin met and all that jazz

On first impression? I'd say BS. It's too much to be coincidence.

WHAT? FUCK YES. AND OH GOD SHE WAS ENGAGED TO DADDY ISHIDA. Oh god. How did the so-called IshiHime fans not have a field day festival with THAT? That's delicious

But yeah, on first impression, Masaki's behaviour is way too similar to Orihime's to be coincidence.

Um how doesn't this make shipping fucking RAD. So Ichigo's dad is a shinigami and his mom was a scatter brained happy-go-lucky type. Oh that's just fucking nummy is what that is.

(also thanks for the link, this is awweeeesooomeee)

Fuck everything, Isshin/Masaki OTP 4ever

Lol, let me know when you are done reading the arc!

And you are welcome!

DAT REACTION That was beautiful

They DID have a field day festival. Via comparing Kanae, the Ishida family maid, to Orihime. And denying any Orihime/Masaki parallels.

yeeeep.

But god forbid you dare to say orihime and masaki are the same.

er, like the same

also, in sections? KUBO DRAWS THEM WITH THE SAME DAMN FACE.

like, exactly the same. people made comparison panels and everything.

also, they say she can't be like orihime because OMG SEE SHE TEASES!!!

except orihime teases, too.

But aren't they saying Orihime and Masaki being similar now means she must be related to Ichigo since the Zangetsu reveal?

yeah, that too.

... wat? :?s

*

Are they still going with that one?

She's like Masaki, but only when it's convenient to them!

I think its simply they'd accept a physical resemblance to Masaki if it means she's related to Orihime but nothing personality wise.
