Screenshots from Total War: Pharaoh, with me playing as Troy. Hector caught Achilles without his army. Since just annihilating the Invincible Achilles with the full force of my army, I confronted him with just Hector and their respective bodyguards, then used Photo Mode to make it look like they were dueling! It came out quite nicely!
Also this happened in Greece, rather than outside troy. Reverse Iliad? :D
so, there's a scene in early cour 3 where ichigo tells the group how powerful squad zero is, and orihime comes to the completely valid conclusion that if they're that strong, there's a chance they may be able to take down yhwach themselves. obviously, when they later go up to the soul king palace, ichibei gravely tells ichigo that the fight against yhwach comes down to him, that defeating yhwach is his responsibility and that he's sorry but he's going to be down and out for a good while – as will the rest of squad zero.
orihime is there for this conversation btw, and i think this is interesting because it immediately sets up a dichotomy between her and the rest of soul society. everyone in soul society believes to some degree that ichigo is not only capable but also the world's only hope for taking yhwach down, which is an immense pressure that we've seen ichigo valiantly take up but also buckle under throughout this arc. orihime's first thought, however, wasn't him but the actual soldiers responsible for keeping the soul king safe. orihime doesn't default to ichigo. rather, her entire journey throughout bleach has been to stand strong and – if not support him – then at least not be a burden to him. she wants to be able to pull her own weight, and while she has struggled with that historically, her post-FB transformation reveals a genuine effort towards this goal. where orihime needed uryu to take her up to the tower in las noches, she spends the entirety of tybw ferrying her group (which includes ichigo) around on her shield. ichigo even calls for her to do this, which is significant because ichigo rarely calls upon anyone else's powers – he purely relies on his own. more to come on this front.
i want to note some soul society exceptions here, namely rukia and renji. rukia has told ichigo repeatedly that he needs to rely on his friends ("rely on us, ichigo") and renji, as we know, accompanies ichigo in the final battle due to a promise he made himself to protect ichigo, the one who brought him and rukia together. you also have chad, who has been ichigo's day one since day one, and uryu, who also joins the final battle (alongside aizen). but i think it's important to acknowledge that even though these allies have been "partners" to ichigo, orihime is on a different level for a variety of reasons, the most important being that she was the one ichigo asked. renji insisted on coming, uryu joined in, aizen joined in. but not only did ichigo ask orihime to come, he implied that them fighting together would be an advantage, and he repeatedly called on her to use her shield during pivotal moments of the battle. ichigo may have fought with others by his side, but orihime is the only one he actively asked for – which is huge because again, ichigo has never, ever done this.
and i think this is so perfect on a thematic level because orihime explicitly trained to be battle support for ichigo. while everyone else motivated him to become stronger and conquer the enemy in battle, she motivated herself to become stronger and help him. to reduce his burden and fight for him so he could focus on fighting for everyone else (and for himself). there's a lot of talk about who ichigo's battle partners are, and all the names above have been featured in the conversation. however, all of them are combat-oriented, zanjutsu-oriented fighters who ichigo has realistically and thematically never needed. realistically, their powers don't complement his perfectly. thematically, ichigo has already said that he doesn't care if someone else could fill in his shoes, he's going to fight to the death because he's here and he has the power! what ichigo truly desired was orihime's power – her ability to stall, to heal, to shield. he may have accepted and even used his other allies' powers to his advantage but he certainly never asked for them explicitly.
i think this difference becomes even more clear when you see their first brush with yhawch during the soul king seal fiasco. as ichigo flew into battle, orihime quickly began healing him. i can't imagine how powerful it feels for him to be bruised and sore one second and then immediately cleansed in the next – not having to worry about that at all. nobody else in the history of bleach has directly contributed to his battle effort like this. everyone fought their own enemies, but it was pretty much decided that The Big Enemy was all his. and he had embraced this for the most part, until he faced his biggest enemy yet and he asked her to come with. and it is unbelievable how hard orihime has worked for this. how long she's wanted this. she told ichigo right at the end of the soul society arc that she's sorry she couldn't do it. in hueco mundo, she literally throws up a shield in front of theee espada #4 ulquiorra to protect him. she stood up to grimmjow for him. she beat herself up so much for what happened at the tower, she not only trained for 17 months, she also told ichigo she was working on herself and then proceeded to protect him from ginjou. again, throughout these arcs, all of ichigo's friends have fought their own enemies. what sets orihime apart is that even at her weakest, she was determined to fight ichigo's. of the entire cast, i would say orihime is the one who pushes herself the hardest because she knows ichigo's burden will be the greatest and she's preparing to stand against his opponents. everyone else is preparing for their own battles, but she has always been preparing for the final battle, the one that traditionally falls on him. even though she was by his side before, she had never been able to do it because she had never quite gained fluid confidence in her own ability. but she kept returning, she kept returning and now she's one of a very small group of people who went toe-to-toe with yhwach – and actually lived to tell the tale.

To the people who say: "But I need to ask Chat GPT / Claude / [whatever, idk] to help me brainstorm, and get past the blank page!"
Here's some suggestions:
One: Ask one of your friends, instead. If they're also working on a story, you can return the favor.
That's how J.R.R. Tolkien made friends with C.S. Lewis.
That's how Mary Shelly wrote Frankenstein (yes, she wrote it based on a dream, but she and her friends were all stuck in a rainy summer writing stories together).
Two: Call your grandma, and ask her for an idea. I'm sure she'd love to hear from you when it's not a holiday or her birthday.
Even if she gives you an idea that you know is all wrong, the reasons why it's wrong that spring to mind immediately, will help you figure out what's right.
Three: (if you don't have a grandma to give you wrong answers) Personify that Inner Critic in your head, and write down all the things it says about how your story is stupid. Then, write down your answers arguing back about why your story is a good idea.
At least the page won't be blank, anymore. And you can recycle your Inner Critic and make it into your story's villain.
There is zero reason on this, Our Earth, to ever use a plagiarism machine.
#this post makes me ashamed to admit that I *did* use ChatGPT to help me [... ... ... ...] once
Okay.
Take the energy of that feeling, and channel it into writing your next draft.
I also want to amend my "Call your Grandma!" suggestion. Maybe she'll give you the perfect idea. For all you know, she could be a member of the first generation to write Kirk/Spock fanfic, back when it was distributed by the postal service.
Helloooo, I haven’t draw anything in a while (busy busy huehuehue), but I found this sketchs of an old childhood friends au in my head!! I wonder how Chrom looked on his early teenage years (an interpretation of sorts ig
Howdy our wonderful Workshop spectators! After many hours spent writing, debugging, and beta testing, we are proud to release Kaidan Revoiced - Community Expansion 2.0! You can read the full changelog here.
First, we would like to thank you, the spectators, for your continued support, patience, and kind words. It has meant a great deal to the staff of the Workshop as we continue to develop our vision for Kaidan. With your encouragement and inspiration, we have begun laying the creative groundwork for our future releases; you helped us determine that Kaidan's morality would be narrative-centric, and we are making strides to incorporate this into his commentary and overall story of redemption and self-identity. Our staff are humbled by your support for this endeavor.
This 2.0 update was a true labor of love, totaling to around 700 new lines and 14 major content features to Kaidan. For reference, KRCE 1.0 has 1,500 lines. We were driven to build on ways to make Kaidan feel more alive and interactive. Given these major changes, a fresh save is required!
First, we've changed how Kaidan is introduced. His introduction quest, A Bounty for Hunter, will no longer appear automatically in your quest journal. Instead, there will be a couple of ways for the player to start the quest naturally. Players will also notice various quality of life and other immersive changes sprinkled throughout his introduction.
Once you recruit Kaidan, players will notice Kaidan’s idle commentary has been expanded. From remarks on the weather, the player's skills, and various locations, Kaidan will have more to say about the world than ever before. This includes roleplay options for players with 14 new backgrounds, 11 new homelands, and over 30 new religious responses that Kaidan will respond to and helps ensure the character you present to Kaidan reflects who they are.
We have also expanded his commentary during Skyrim’s main quest where Kaidan now has reactions for alternative starts, idles, and conversations tied to major story moments. This includes a before and after conversation from Sovngarde.
Along with the main questline, we are thrilled to introduce unique commentary for Paarthurnax Quest Expansion by Jayserpa! This is a patch that focuses on Kaidan’s morality and his journey of redemption in which Kaidan will have set beliefs that he will hold to, no matter what you decide to do.
Kaidan also now has expanded dialogue for the Companions and College of Winterhold questlines. With these additions to Kaidan’s dialogue, we have also included three new unlockable titles: Thane, Harbinger, and Arch-Mage to Kaidan’s nickname system.
In addition to questline commentary, the Book Review Pack allows Kaidan to provide more commentary on the various books that you may encounter in your journeys across Skyrim. If the book is among those he can comment on, all his responses will be unique to the book given and you can ask him for his thoughts on those books. After completing the mini-quest of collecting the Eslaf Erol series for Kaidan this will unlock Kaidan’s training dialogue! Kaidan will be able to help train you in a handful of combat skills that he himself is proficient in: Archery, Block, Heavy Armor, One-handed, Two-handed, and Stamina! These scenes will also involve unique commentary and sound effects based on player skill.
We have also added new interactions between Kaidan and his horse, Kiai! She will now start her journey as “Horse” until Kaidan gives her the name “Kiai” as Kaidan definitely does not get attached.
Along with this, we now have patchless compatibility with the mod I’m Glad You’re Here with full nickname and title support and responses based on location, progression, and friendship/romance level with Kaidan! When the mod is enabled, the vanilla romantic hugs will be replaced with a custom hug animation— no more vampire hugs! DAR or OAR are required to ensure the custom hug animation works.
Lucien fans rejoice! By popular demand, a patch for Kaidan and Lucien’s banter is now available! All existing banter between them has been fully revoiced with Kaidan’s new voice actor, Paul Warren.
Along with these new expansions, patches, and additions to Kaidan’s integration into Skyrim, we have also included general changes and bug fixes to improve overall quality of life.
We look forward to everyone experiencing Kaidan Revoiced- Community Expansion 2.0 and hope you love what we have created as much as we loved creating it. None of it would have been possible without your support, so we thank you all once again for your ongoing support as we continue to bring Kaidan to life.
