Fool!

I don’t know what I want to do with it, but pocket sized!Rukia from the initial bleach pilot has at least some entertainment value.

Hanging out with other female characters and or doing more activities?(hot springs, shopping, SWA things etc?) Her last kind of female figure in her life (other than Orihime) was Miyako. I don’t think she doesn’t indulge in these activities cause she doesn’t like them but because she’s a bit missing on the crowd to do so and defaults to work and nobility obligations.

Rukia on her journey to become captain and filling these blank areas out

Training(your muse or mine, don't matter), I like the idea of her helping others, and it suits her well as a lead officer, or her being trained by others possibly fits above bullet too. Doesn't have to be physical/muscle training either, could be lessons like in being a command officer and what not.

I also really like the idea of Rukia freezing an arena and learning to skate and slide around to maintain speed while still using her freezing self ability and throwing an enemy off– but that’s like… likely post TYBW, but would be an interesting thread? Or at least ice skating and inspiring it would be very cute for a thread.

Found family is the life blood of me :> GIVE! I'd love to dig into the details of existing/canon bonds them, or make new ones. Angst, bonding, cute things. Vague, but it's one of my favorite things and already exist in most of rukia's canon bonds.

@reservedcloud asked:

In order not to offend the sensibilities of the elder Kuchiki sibling, a little package with an accompanying notelet would have been sent to the offices of the Thirteenth Division on 14th January. Within the unassuming small but neatly wrapped package, the recipient would find a homemade crocheted rabbit-shaped keychain that is evidently an attempt at recreating a facsimile of Chappy but not quite succeeding. The message on the folded card simply reads: My dear Rukia, Happy birthday. Apologies for this poor substitute for the real Chappy. It is hoped that you will find some use for this. With my best, Isane.

Upon arriving, Rukia didn't even notice her posture lose it's rigidity, relieved to see that her destination was a place cozy and secluded. As she wade her way through the entrance, her size made it easier to duck under obstacles rather than hop over them in the small shop. Having spotted Tsubaki, Rukia's face loses a touch of the off putting expression she wore naturally for something of playfully obligated.

As she takes her seat, she sits in seiza, but only for a moment before it dissolves into something more looser, with her legs out comfortable in front of her as she heats up into more casual conversation. "I'm not such a poor comrade that I would leave you to fend for yourself." Just to prove herself, Rukia grabs at the bottle, and pours herself a double, taking such words as a slight challenge.

@hirakotual asked:

17.  the star  :  what does your muse take inner comfort in knowing ? what guides your muse ?

;Maybe it has to do with rukia being a warrior, and survivor, but Kaien's words on the heart and leaving it with others(as corny as they are) are something that Rukia finds a great comfort in. I don't think she fully understood them or connected with it until much later, more closer to when she has created some of those connections herself. The idea of being able to leave a part of yourself with others also pairs well with her development through the series.

She used to be a lone wolf, but eventually has these people which she feels very backed by that she can leave it up to. I think particularly what she connects to it is in leaving a mark. Having some kind of legacy or inheritance in connections with others sits well with her and brings her great comfort.

Inuzuri is a place where no one leaves a mark, and souls disappear just as easily as they show up. But eventually, throughout the timeline she builds up these great connections, both strong and small between others where she very much feels like she's been able to leave a mark of herself with others, or leave her heart there so to say.

It connects well in her having a kid, as that's another form of legacy. And it also connects in why she likes looking out for others too, does well in a leadership role, and uses looking out for others often as a way to connect.

Particularly about the idea she takes comfort in is the idea that things would be handled should her own demise come to pass, and that even in death she would leave mark on the people that matter to her, however grim that seems. It's something that brings peace to her soul. It also helps bring peace to her mind when faced with loss of someone, that she can feel like she carries a piece of them forward still, and that they still have their legacy, although that doesn't stop it from being something she strives to prevent at all cost.

Outside of the building of the kidō corps, Rukia waited patiently, clad in a fine simple kimono adorned with bright purple hydrangeas: outside of her prison attire but yet to be back in her shinigami attire. With a bokken resting on both of her knees, she closed her eyes, breathing in while sitting in seiza. At some point, either in her want to avoid attention or just pure impulse, she had made her way atop one of the stone walls just outside of the entrance. It had proved to make the comfort in her seat far less, but at least had given her some discreteness and a pleasant wind blowing by her ears that felt missing down below.

It's the quiet sound of the door opening among her silent mediation that causes her to peek an eye open. Upon spotting the 'prey' that she had been waiting for, Rukia grabs the bokken in her lap and sends it towards Rin like a dart, aiming with poor form at Rin's shoulder with a light toss. "Hey!" It was a simple gesture to get Rin's attention, while also testing how much has changed and her reflexes since they were students. But it also would be lying if Rukia wasn't also getting a bit of that frustration from her powers still remaining dormant in that action. Carefully, step by step, Rukia would make her way to the eave of the roof before gracefully dropping to the level concrete ground, patting herself of any dirt.

"-- Or something like that." There really wasn't a clear rulebook on conversations after your once friend was just about to witness you be executed: some awkwardness was probably a given. Casually, Rukia shook out her wrist, her body still frail, thin and out of practice from her time in captivity.

Rukia releases a sigh, as clearly the chuck of her training sword was not enough to fully get out all of her frustrations. "You have no idea what a pain it is to track down people without the ability to fully detect spiritual pressure after you're used to it. But I figured I'd be able to catch you sooner or later." Slowly, Rukia raises her hand, placing it upon Rin's head and scruffling , clearly happy to see the other and be in contact once more under much better circumstances now clearly. "I was relieved to see that it looks like you've been making it just fine."

@ketsumyo asked:

1. How does your muse relax?

;Rukia has a couple of ways of relaxing. One is spontaneous "adventures" with friends, which she usually drags them into. Oddly enough I think this grew from her coping mechanism of distractions and her tendency to run away from her problems, but has grown into a good healthy relaxation method. Rukia isn't always a good friend to herself mentally, but she can be better to herself in proximity by convincing herself she's helping her friends. And being among friends lets her be able to get lot more into and actually achieve the distraction she's looking for and genuinely have fun and have real emotions on those kind of outings. Usually these involve taking something she's had a vague interest in learning more about and fulfilling her curiosity about it while finding someone to experience it with that she's comfortable with.

I think I have this somewhere in some other headcanon elsewhere, where she likes to implement 'unique' training exercises with her squad after promotion to lieutenant. Examples could be things like three legged races, field days, tag, and other more spontaneous decided challenges. Bringing those ideas to her squadron is very similar as the above spontaneous adventures, just bringing the adventure home instead and in more of her own spirit, but there exist a similar satisfaction and distraction relaxation part in this form as well.

Somewhat similar, retreats into nature are also very relaxing to her(she is that weirdo that can enjoy camping), whether that's things like stargazing, dashing through the grassfields, daydreaming in trees, or splashing in a river.

@hollownekomata asked:

//hello! from the TIDBITS HEADCANON PROMPT - What is your muse’s opinion on gossip? Do they ever gossip, encourage it, discourage it? :>

;Rukia is highly ignorant of gossip, and tends to view it pretty negatively. Ever since the academy it's been something that's directed at her due to her background, and used to tear her down. It didn't help that a new larger wave of it occurred again when her class changed from her adoption. She usually feels like people are talking about things they don't understand and it's been something that's made her feel isolated and created distance between herself and others. Ignoring it completely and turning oblivious has become her protective shell towards it after putting up with it for a long time, picked up sometime around the time of her tutelage under Kaien.

She isn't a willing participant in it typically, but there might be a level she's forced into at noble parties and what not. In noble circles, she finds it very boring, usually people talking about people they don't know. In those scenarios she pretends to listen, saving face by reacting very little, and shows a lack of interest. If it's present in places that are more personal, like at her squad where she has a bit more authority and power, she might try to cut it off, usually depending on her annoyance of it has reached its threshold or if she thinks of it as harmful. But she's fully aware that it's impossible to have a no tolerance policy for it and it will always exist.
