The best thing is that Rukia instinctively KNOWS what Ichigo needs and knows exactly how to get him out of his funk, like at the beginning of the HM arc. She knows a kick in the face will set him to rights and does it. Antis will whine about this being abuse but 1) they’re morons because 2) it’s done for comedic effect and 3) it’s exactly what Ichigo needs - someone who isn’t afraid to call him out on his fears while reaffirming that he’s the man in her heart he’s strong enough to overcome his despair. Total waifu material. Disagree with your last sentence though. It’s just total bullshit that they’re not together.

EDIT: masterpost is here! The prompts can be found here. We have also done a thorough retagging of the blog for easy navigation of past ichirukimonth submissions. Did you know this is our seventh consecutive year of ichirukimonth? If you need some inspiration for this year’s irmonth, why not browse the archives to see what you can find? 

Whoever made this, let’s have a cup of tea together LMAO

Bleach may be a clownfiesta but something that stuck with me was Kaien’s teaching about how it is important to live with kindness and joy towards others. Even though our bodies inevitably die and decompose, if many people remember you fondly then your spirit stays alive through them. I think this is a very comforting and humbling way to think about our mortality. Instead of wishing to live many years (which is out of my control), I’d like to try and live with a big heart instead (which I can do!). A few years with great happiness and many fun memories to be remembered by is better than a hundred years spent lonely and forgotten. Thanks Tite Kubo, for the wisdom.
