#tuliharja

A few years ago MadaTobi week was approaching, so @louiserandom and I decided to do a collab for the week. I can't anymore remember the prompt that we based on our whole collab. I think it was domestic bliss or cuddling or something along the lines. But based on that prompt, we decided they would write a fic and I would draw a picture based on the fic. We made the whole outline of the fic and had actually a lot of fun when brainstorming for our collab.

I started my part of the collab, which was the artwork, but when I was middle of coloring the artwork, my drawing tablet broke down. The worst part was that there were only a few days left before the deadline. Luckily, I had originally made the sketch traditionally and even inked it, so all I had to do was color it traditionally and my part would be ready. Expect, the coloring turned awful and by that point, @louiserandom had already told me they couldn't complete their part of the collab, as they just didn't find the inspiration to write. In the end, I decided not to publish my artwork during that MadaTobi week, because I was very bummed out over how the artwork had turned out.

Even when I got a new drawing tablet, I still didn't feel like finishing my unfinished digital coloring of the artwork. Yet I still kept the artwork and over the years I started little by little coloring it, until I eventually finished it. I took my sweet time with it because there wasn't any more rush and I wanted to practice my digital coloring and using texture. Now the artwork is done, even though there are still parts that could be tinkered and sort of. Even so, I think it's time to finally publish this artwork to the world. It took a long time to complete it, but I'm still very proud of it and the fun memories related to it. ^^

🎄  Christmas tree

Please tell him quickly that a traditional xmas tree is a type of pine called an evergreen!

Versions of Japanese pine are used for bonsai and we er... all know how great he is at bonsai....

Once you introduce him to this idea though he is allll for it! 

Some might call the Christmas tree gaudy by the time you both are done but you certainly can’t say it doesn’t remind everyone of Christmas.

It’s got flashing lights, sparkling ornaments crammed on every branch. Ukitake had special ornaments made of your zanpakutou and when/if you have kids he’ll get an ornament commissioned for them for their 1st xmas.

You end up with multiple trees as time goes on. One in his office. one at home, one for when he’s resting, a tiny little one to go on his desk.

My favourite thing about them: This is more on the personal side but I love that he’s a successful chronically ill character. I became chronically ill when I was 14 and it was super hard, suddenly I started really struggling with grades, couldn’t really even socialise because I didn’t have the energy, then struggled with mental illness as a result etc. Having a character who has chronic health issues but is also a well loved and capable captain was honestly just very helpful to have. Especially as he’s never chastised for being ill or anything like that, no one judges him for resting when he needs to rest and he’s super respected by soul society in general. Plus despite having difficult health issues he’s still absolutely lovely, he’s not bitter and doesn’t get hung up over it, he just more or less takes it into his stride and is generally optimistic. It made him a very good role model for me! 

My least favourite thing about them: Honestly the first thing that came to mind was that he died lmao I refuse to accept it he’s still alive in my heart! On a more serious note though this may be a cultural difference thing or something but it’s baffling to me that the man basically just let Kaien throw his life away to the hollow that killed his wife. I understand that he said Kaien was fighting for honour, but personally I don’t really think that it’s worth someone’s life.

Random headcanon: I’m almost certain I’m not the first person who’s said this but with him being as lovely as he is, and him living as long as he has there’s no way he hasn’t been married (possibly with children and everything) in the past. Possibly more than once too. But I imagine with him living as long as he has (which I personally assume is to do with reiatsu, more reiatsu = living longer/aging slower) he also unfortunately had to watch them grow old and eventually die. I reckon he married at least once, maybe twice, but not more than that because he realised he wouldn’t be able to go through that process repeatedly.

Who I wished they interacted more with: Children in general like my dude clearly loved them. In particular I think it would’ve been adorable and hilarious if he had met the Kurosaki twins (like if they had actually used those travel ticket thingamajigs Kyoraku gave them or something?) You just know he’d straight up spoil them :’)

Sorry this took me so long! Things got a little crazy for me! Hope it’s worth the wait :D (from this list)

There wasn’t much that could take Hashirama by surprise, or at least he liked to think so. There were very few who could just grin and laugh off whatever unfortunate thing happened them, and Hashirama counted that as a compliment regardless of how many Tobirama told him it just made him look like a moron. That being said, if anyone could surprise him, it was Mito; he was still convinced she was secretly a goddess mistakenly sent to him because of his moniker.

“Husband?” The voice of 1000 angels singing questions, drawing Hashirama back from his mental reprieve.

“Mito!” He exclaims, practically leaping from behind his desk in his eagerness to hug his wife. “You never show up early!”

“Early?” Mito repeats and her unimpressed tone as she stares at the mound of paperwork on his desk freezes him in his tracks and has him fidgeting like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar. “Husband, it’s lunch time.”

Ahaha probably xD it’s not a huge loss nor is it that big a deal, I mean, not many people are keen on smutty talk I’ve been doing lately, since I know for a fact I’ve forgotten to tag things;;;

But god thank you for the adorable mental image! I had to draw this as a warm up.
