how come ichigo can't be asexual while still accepting how bleach ended? (unless u seen him as sex repulsed too or s/t then >.< ok) i actually liked having a headcanon for him as aro ace too. but if it's just asexual than i think that can still work into canon pretty well? idk, i know not every asexual feels the same on certain things so... this is pretty interesting?:)
I actually think that ace Ichigo goes really well with the ending, actually. I never entirely saw him as aro (but that’s probably because I’m a deeply romantic person, myself.)  But I agree, whichever way, I think canon supports either view and probably dozens of others (even sex-repulsed, because just because the baby has the Kurosaki last name and looks doesn’t mean anything. There are things called surrogates and sperm donors.  I’m a married lesbian and our child was born to my wife and a [in our case an anonymous] sperm donor and has my last name. And my son looks exactly like me and my family and we technically share no DNA.  Nurture is actually a very strong force; stronger than you think. But a sex-repulsed ace Ichigo could totally donate his own sperm to Orihime.) Â
Look, if I’m disappointed in the ending in terms of ships, it’s because I’m queer and married and, I’m sorry, but marriage is not the end of adventure.  It does not put a bow on a story about a war with an ancient enemy (–unless you married Ichigo to the queen of the Quincy, I don’t even see how there’s been plot resolution AT ALL.)
