REBIRTH OF THE APOSTLE.

ok i must admit this is pretty unexpected sfghjksdj. as i said i'm not particularly drawn to stoic characters, and while harri's design is absolutely sick, i wouldn't know what to explore with her as a character. also there's the fact that she's very sexualized by the fandom, and that kinda pushes me further away. though i must say i never picked an arrancar muse, so it would be interesting to try it!

idk man i can't claim to be such a big askin connoisseur (lmao) since i took quite some creative freedom in my interpretation of him, but... despite my hiatus, i've been writing him for a while so. i'm pretty solid in my characterization that is. one thing that still doesn't fall into place is his vollständig, but i've made peace with the fact that the name hasshein is probably only meant to make sense written in japanese, so idk if it counts (?) if there's anything you wanna bring to my attention, feel free to!

no, he wouldn’t label himself like that, but people do seem to see him that way? i mean pepe isn’t the most reliable source of opinions, but he does suggest to askin that he shouldn’t so freely call gremmy a monster since he could be considered one too. so idk man draw your conclusions sfghjk. i think that a man who is almost unkillable and uses such peculiar methods to fight being considered a monster isn't such a stretch. especially considering what is usually regarded as 'normal' in quincy society.

i believe that in all his years of serving in the wandenreich, askin got close to everyone, and simultaneously, to no one. it’s difficult to articulate this push-and-pull dynamic in words; it’s functional for him to be able to tell their stories from a perspective unbiased enough for the reader to form their own opinions. if he survived, i feel like askin would be nothing more than a vessel to his former comrades’ stories, detached and free of personal bias.

hi ! i haven’t been very happy with my writing lately so idk where this is coming from, but thank you very much <3 in my experience, nothing improves writing like extensive reading, but if you’re like me and got no time for it anymore, you can always read shorter stories and try to let your focus shift on the sentences that have the strongest impact on you, pick them up and collect them to form your own style. that’s how it begins, most times. whatever you do, though, there’s no getting away from reading and imitating other people, that’s literally how you learn without taking specific writing classes. personally, i’ve found that i try my best to mirror human thinking and mental associations in my writing, so i stray from an overly artificial register to keep my style as raw and linear as possible. common words are not bad words, you just need to ration them. metaphors are good for the soul and help the reader feel the moment and visualize the image, so use them. as in all things, don’t overdo it. keep it natural, and reread what you write to see if it flows. if ur stuck with Bad Writer moments like me, just keep writing and publishing, even if you feel it sucks; a writer’s block is worse than dishing out a few things you’re not fully happy with. there’s always time to edit later. write of things you’re passionate about, always.

   to kurosaki’s seemingly scandalized look,  askin answers with nothing more than a brief,  amused hum.  ‘ why,  do you think your comrades care about your life?  cause as far as i know,  you’re only soul society’s little watchdog.  ’

@skyvar​.

   the dutchman smiles against the shell of bazz-b’s ear,  his tongue flicking briefly over it.  it wouldn’t be nearly as bearable to deal with bazz’s bullshit if teasing him wasn’t such a rewarding affair.   ‘  because like hell i’m gonna,  dickhead.  finish,  or i shove this pen up your ass.  ’

yeah anon i do think it was foreshadowing to jugram and bazz’s entire fight. we know already how any major worldbuilding and quincy storytelling happens through askin, so it wouldn’t surprise me if this little detail that foretells bazz’s death at jugram’s hands happened to be told by askin.

UHM out of the three, uryuu probably. i mean i like him as a character and i think he can offer a lot, and i would def try to do justice to some aspects of him that i feel are often conveniently forgotten by the fandom...like his trauma, hate for the shinigami, conflict about himself and his family, the importance of his quincy heritage. he's super interesting to me! only problem is that i find myself not rlly connecting to young/teen muses. i wouldn't rp ryuken and jugram btw, i'm not rlly into the stoic type.

u know me... i would tot write shunsui if the thought of managing so many blogs didn't scare me haha. he's not really the kind of character i'm usually drawn to, on the surface, but when you actually go a bit deeper he's just the kind of grey character many stories lack. to explore his political views and role as the headcaptain and a noble would be soooo interesting, just not in the near future probably.
