@nellicious asked @“""so if your smile is forced that begs the question of why force it then, hm?" she mused, tilting her head at him.

"wow, you have giant jugs!?" exclaims the little arrancar.

Who’s baby is this- ?

“Unique just means alone.”

“Well, that’s certainly one way of looking at it,” Yoruichi mused.

“Not exactly the cheeriest way, but I can’t deny there’s some truth to it. But I do think it sells things a little short. Take this right now, for example. How often do an ex-Taichō and an ex-Espada get together to just talk like regular women? That’s pretty unique, and maybe we’re the only ones doing it at the moment, but we’re not alone, are we?” They were certainly there with one another—that much was indisputable.

She returned her focus to Nelliel. “And yeah, maybe this is a unique thing, but it doesn’t have to be. You were quoting that bit of literature earlier—Kant, right? We could make a book club if we really wanted to. Or anything, really. Maybe invite Ikumi. I think that American, Jackie, is still hanging around nearby too. They probably often feel alone as well. Uniqueness might predispose us to loneliness, but it’s not determinative. I think if anything it makes us appreciate good company all the more by giving us perspective.”

baby nel just suddenly falls on his head

Because if you want to start your day off right as you patrol around Karakura Town, you might as well start it with a concussion.

Skull met skull mask with a loud CRACK as the toddler dropped from the sky at terminal velocity. At her speed, the lieutenant didn’t pick up on her presence rocketing down toward him until the moment of impact.

The pair froze in place for a still beat, until the dazed Kōtarō fell back and sprawled out on the concrete. With his fall, the girl rolled forward and landed square on his chest, her plopping down across his torso heaving out whatever air he still held in his lungs.

📔 + Babies

Babies... don’t typically fall from the sky, right? I mean I get the whole stork story human adults come up for their kids so they don’t actually explain how babies are really born, but what happened the other day was plain ridiculous. A child actually fell from the sky and conked my skull something fierce.

Not just any baby, but a baby arrancar of all things. I didn’t know arrancar could come in such a variety!

Anyway, it turned out to be one hell of a day, going from freaking out thinking she killed me and realizing I was a shinigami, then going about trying to reunite her with her brothers... but I had a lot of fun all the same, carrying her around like that and keeping her entertained. She was also really cute? Her giggles and smiles and those little chubby cheeks were plain adorable?

And that crack down her mask is not natural, I figured that much... who would dare actually harm a single hair on such an innocent little girl’s head? Was it one of our own who did that? If so, they’ll have hell to pay I swear-

5. Are you looking to write any particular relationships with your muse?

I interpret ‘relationship’ broadly, so I’m not even considering this question in the romantic sense. I have really been blessed here in the five years I’ve had this blog to explore some significant canon relationships of Kisuke's, including the ones with Yoruichi, Shinji, Hiyori, Hougyoku, Ryuuken, Nel, Shunsui, Akon, and Mayuri. There are such interesting dynamics in all of these to explore, particularly the ones that happen mainly off-screen. But there are other relationships where I feel I’ve done him a disservice, barely having scratched the surface. Our interactions with Ichigo, Rukia, Tessai, and Isshin, for example, have been comparatively light, considering how significant those relationships all are. So it would be nice, for example, to write Kisuke in a more mentoring role with either of the two protagonists, or bonding with the other dad-types. And I’ve had very few interactions with Ururu or Jinta -- incredibly rare muses! In terms of current threads here, I’m intrigued to find see how things will play out between Kisuke and Grimmjow ( @deivorous​ ), and to navigate a frenmity with post-war Askin ( @reapersofknowledge​ ). But there are two characters that I don’t feel I’ve ever had a solid chance to explore and would like to, and those would be Kuukaku and Benihime.

9.  What thread types (e.g. angst, fluff) do you think portrays your character at their most genuine?

@nellicious asked @““ who are you, really ?””

drunken confession.

Grimmjow blinks blearily at Nelliel for a long moment, finger’s absently cirling the lip of the bottle he’d been quickly and steadily downing over the course of the past... something something minutes... hours... Grimmjow’s always been so shit with time. Prolly... Pro-ba-bly why he pissed Tousen off so much. He was aaaalways late.

Wait. No. Bad. Getting distracted. Distracted is bad. What did Nelliel ask?

Reflexes are heightened, better than your average bear’s. The voice is enough to put him on edge, to ready himself for an imminent assault. But where Ichigo is quick to react, it’s not enough for the sound-barrier-shattering speed of his assailant. No wonder she had been ranked so high back in the--
