//i've talked about this before but I like to think that angelic ichor/fluids in general are both incredibly addictive to demons but also incredibly toxic if you indulge too liberally.

And lastly, he thinks Kikoru is rly pretty and admires her strength.

( okay, hc time. he can't read very well, actually. he's been dead a good bit and never bothered keeping up with reading and when you've fought to live and grow so long, sometimes you just.. forget things. like reading. or reading comprehension, more like. he looks at pictures on menus, gets frustrated playing games because many rely on written instructions, and doesn't own a single book. he's not stupid - he just doesn't think reading's worthwhile when you've spent 200+ years as a big dead panther )

I used to compare Toushiro to a dragon, but nowadays as I've been gradually putting it into my writing, he resonates more, as in withholds similarities, to a Lion. Why? -- It's Because he represents some qualities of what Lions are. -- He's regal, it shows more of that in his matured Bankai form than his current, albeit still existent, with how the Ice only surrounds the lower portion of his limbs, and aloft his shoulders which takes the form of epaulets, a military shoulder piece, to simplify. --- Furthermore, he is valiant, a strategist, and dignified, he holds within him variations of distinct strengths, impeccable leadership, and loyalty towards those he cares for and his Ideas. He is a force not to be underestimated. He may have childlike weaknesses now, as a cub, but once he's fully grown, he will be an immense wall his enemies will loathe. ------- He is the Lion whilst Hyorinmaru is the dragon, and together they will be unstoppable whilst purging the evil imperiling their home. - The last reason is quite evident.- His name means Winter Lion.
