Inktober Day30 Together we are unlimited. Just you and I Defying gravity Happy 15 anniversary to Wicked the musical !!! 💚💚💚💚always remember when I heard this song and I was crying a lot in the theater 😭😭😭😭
“Jesus christ eat the goddamn mac and cheese.” scowls the hero “I can hear your stomach growling through your armor, you know.”
The villain blinks “You-”
“Are feeding you, yes. If all I wanted to do was punch people and throw criminals in jail, I would’ve become a vigilante. Heroism involves kindness, dipshit.”
“Heroism involves kindness, dipshit” is the most amazing phrase I’ve ever read. I need to incorporate it into all my work.
To tag mutual writing friends, or to not, because I’ve already been an enabler today…
Oh. Oh but I do love this. Hi. Yes. Maybe after NaNo is over I will consider writing something because hmmmMmmmMMMmmm~
ohhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooooooooo. DONT DO THIS TO ME (also damn that was the most beautiful use of that Ichigo gif I have ever seen. Just. That LOOK combined with the comment. XD)
But ohhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooo don’t do this to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…………..
(It’s too late here have some headcanons for this verse)
-Ichigo isn’t quite sure how it happened, but look. Look okay. Time travel sucked. Time Travel back to the far distant past? Not cool. And to top all of that- he ended up in the past but AFTER the whole Aizen Hollowfied Everyone thing. So he couldn’t save them
-Ichigo ends up teaching the vizard. It’s just as strange as he never would have imagined but VENGEANCE. PETTY VENGEANCE.
-He ends up getting Younger Kisuke’s attention by fighting hollows in the town. This is ALSO how Ichigo figured out when he is- HatNClogs before HatNClogs is weird.
-Kisuke came down to see what shinigami had gotten so close to his hide out. He did NOT expect the male to be able to TRACK HIM okay. And then he figures out that Ichigo is hollowfied as well and that- Well that’s INTERESTING. And useful. He DEFF didn’t expect Ichigo to GROW on him okay.
-Ichigo ends up traveling around Dealing With Things that Need To Be Dealt With. And who does he know that can usually ALSO deal with those things, or can Genius his way into creating a way to deal with things?? Kisuke. Things like diseses he’s got contained and needs to Disappear
-Things like strange hollow pieces, stray shinigami blades, old ancient kido scrolls that he Doesnt Know What To Do With, but Kisuke is LOSING HIS MIND ICHIGO DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS
-On that note THIS is how Ichigo figures out not only did he TIME HOP but he jumped like six universes over and there’s THINGS out there that he DID NOT want to deal with all kinds of things, (Did you really think you were the only supernatural thing out there?) But it;s Ichigo PROTECTOR IS LITERALLY MY NAME Kurosaki so you bet your ass he’s right in the middle of it, protecting stray children and probably Espada that follow him home
-(Oops Ichigo starts a Kisuke’s Home for Wayward Weirdos.). Kisuke would be mad but this is SO INTERESTING SDGDGDSFSFSDADS Ichigo finds the Best Things. (and people)
-Kisuke isn’t the slightest surprised that whoever this random Shinigami currently unconcerned in the slightest with Seireitei and Central 46 is a Shiba.
-He can absolutely see the resemblance and that eases his suspicions because Shiba.
–On the other hand, Ichigo is just a bit too perfect and he’s lacking in common knowledge, not only from Soul Society but the World of the Living. Which is alarming. Kisuke’s a fugitive here, along with a bunch of newly Hollofied former captains and vice-captains and Shihoin Yoruichi, the Clan Head, Tsukabishi Tessai, the Captain of the Kido Corps. Former, anyway.
-Ichigo is way too relaxed with them, isn’t surprised at Yoruichi’s cat form- Oh, Shinji dropped by while Ichigo was visiting and apparently this is their new instructor because, oya oya, he’s also a Hollowfied Shinigami?
-Kisuke doesn’t understand Ichigo’s quirks. His familiarity with several things most people have never heard of and his complete non-familiarity with several things everyone has heard of.
-Kisuke is at first confused by all the things Ichigo brings by.
-Some for him to get rid of, some for him to look at because, hey, Urahara-san, this look interesting, do you know what it is?
-Then Ichigo drops by one day with a striped hat that is in no way Japanese along with a set of very traditional very Japanese clothing. And geta.
-Kisuke gets used to being called ‘Getaboushi’ like it’s an inside joke he isn’t aware of even though he’s the one being called this nickname? …the outfit is very comfortable though.
-Ichigo never mentions his age, and Kisuke doesn’t ask, but there are times when he struggles with the simplest things that leaves him with the impression that the orange haired man is older then Kisuke, and other times when he thinks the complete opposite.
-Kisuke has no idea why Ichigo brings home interesting Hollows like nothing is wrong with that. Kisuke also has no idea why he never refuses all the flat out weird and strange people Ichigo brings to his little shop.
-Last Kisuke heard, Quincies were extinct and a whole family from Germany just moved to Karakura. He suspects Ichigo had a hand in it.
OKAY I AM GOING BACK TO WRITING FOR A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FANDOM, LIKE I WAS DUTIFULLY DOING BEFORE YOU GUYS HIJACKED MY LIFE.
Do you see what happens when you leave me alone with North????????
-Shiba protectiveness is a Thing Of Legends. Everyone knows about it. Everybody talks about it. Kisuke still did not EXPECT it.
-Ichigo is a Power House, capital letters required, holly shit, he basically took on an army of assassins for them???????? Second Sqaud did not see him coming.
-One day Ichigo shows up with a dirt on his face and clothes, a secretive little smirk on his face, and a fan in hand. It matches the clothes and hat.
-Kisuke did not expect to get along with Hollows. Or any of the other strange people that Ichigo brought over. What is his life.
–Ichigo is smart as hell. Kisuke is fascinated okay? Ichigo has to explain some of the terms he uses for things- he always looks surprised like everyone should know what the Thing he said is- he’s centuries ahead of Living World with the knowledge he has and if Kisuke didn’t know any better……
-There are Kami. Ichigo befriends them, because of COURSE he does. So now Kisuke some how finds himself with a little shrine near his home that always has offering on it.
-Can Kisuke just say, he almost CRIED when Ichigo got Inari-samma to bless the wards he had already put up??? ITS SO INTERESTING. DIVINE POWERED WARDS OF HIS OWN DESIGN.HE HAS SO MANY QUESTIONS.
-Kisuke gets used to white foxes darting in and out of his shop, and he keeps little bits of food around for them
-Ichigo got in a fight with a demon, because of COURSE he did, Kisuke almost had a heart attack when Ichigo crashed through the wards dripping blood everywhere, and swaying on his feet with a slurred “Hey Getaboushi, can you help?” on his lips, like Kisuke wasn’t already reaching for him with his heart in his mouth and hands glowing green with kido.
-Kisuke may have, possibly, on a totally unrelated note, also declared a blood feud and gotten into a fight with that same demon completely by accident of course.
Hey, I just made one comment with a couple of GIFs! Still, I suppose
since I’m catching so much blame/credit, it’s my turn to really
contribute, rather than just cheer from the sidelines?
–
Ichigo can duck into and out of Seireitei the easiest, because no one
knows him there but he is (as Kisuke observed) very obviously a Shiba,
which all of the Shibas are happy to confirm any time.
– So
anything they need from Soul Society, he’s the one who gets it.
Including all their own stuff that they didn’t have time to get before
they had to escape to Living World.
– He might or might not also be leaving itching powder in Aizen’s bed every time he makes a trip.
– Ichigo point-blank tells Kisuke to give the Hogyoku to one of the foxes to pass on to Inari-sama, because the kami will appreciate the shiny thing and keep it safe, but is already a kami so the power-boost isn’t going to be much of an issue.
-Kisuke doesn’t think Ichigo is joking when he casually mentions that time he broke into Hell and was crowned king.
-When Ichigo stops dead in the middle of fighting some vaguely skeleton demons and loudly shouts, “Hey! That’s my armor!” and the demons, to the last one all stop and kneel, Kisuke is done.
-It is apparently the physical manifestation of Hell’s Will and it dissipates when that Will is carried out and apparently the armor that vaguely skeleton demon was wearing glows gold when Ichigo approaches.
-Has Kisuke mentioned how fascinating Ichigo is?
-His manner is considered rude, he’s blunt and doesn’t hesitate to leap into a fight. Yet, he’s compassionate and kind. No matter how he scowls and how fear still pricks at his spine when he pulls more firmly on his Hollow side, that one thing that Kisuke can say that Ichigo is, is very kind.
-He brings home- and since when did Kisuke’s shop become home for the both of them???- demons and spirits and ghosts that don’t quite fit with Soul Society’s facts and this-is-how-it-is and he’s mentioned the Divine Blessing of the Fox God, yes?
-Ichigo builds so many shrines around Karakura and the people that live there end up accepting him as a minor deity of protection and remembrance.
-The spiritually aware all respectfully bow when they catch a glimpse of vivid orange hair, a fluttering black shihakusho and the two blades only he wields.
-Kisuke doesn’t know if Ichigo is aware of this, but he’s leaning toward no.
-The months turn into years, years into decades and a city rises from that once small village. Ichigo goes where he pleases, but he always returns and Kisuke- Kisuke-
-He never asks, but Kisuke finds him speaking anyway. Ichigo doesn’t run away. Doesn’t flinch back in fear and he doesn’t seem the mind the blood that clings to Kisuke’s hands.
-Ichigo is strong. Very much so, especially with all the blessing on his person and the belief of several tens of thousands of people who deeply believe that Ichigo is a minor kami that protects both the living and the dead and remembers both when they’re lost. Several generations have grown up with memories of an orange haired man who found them when they were lost and lead them home. Who came to reassure them that their loved one passed on. Some remember the warmth of his whispered words that spoke of the dead’s last wish.
-Kisuke knows that Ichigo can take care of himself, but sometimes there are moments when Kisuke takes up Benihime and she sings.
-In the future the fairy tales of Japan will include two men, one painted in the colors of a sunrise and stained with the darkness of a moonless night, a kami of protection and remembrance. The second is golden adorned in green and his presence of announced by the clack of geta and when he departs, there is death and blood in his wake. The story goes, these two are entwined. How? Nobody knows, but the stories continue.
-When Ichigo finds out, he scowls murderously as Kisuke laughs merrily as red creeps up into his cheeks.
-Kisuke doesn’t know what he would do without Ichigo.
i am a liar and i regret nothing.
ONE gif and this is all your fault, @thefringeperson. Blame and credit is the same thing though.
-Ichigo is Oblivious (capital definitely needed) to his Godhood. He’s always watched over the town, it’s only luck that he just so happens to be there at the right time, ‘It’s Inari guiding his steps, it’s chance, someone called his name….
-Kisuke kind of wants to cry about it, but also it’s HILARIOUS???? To be a fly on the wall when Ichigo figures THAT one out.
-Ichigo has always been horrible with names, but it doesn’t really dawn on him that he’s starting to remember those who have no one else to remember them, those who wander on paths best left alone. He doesn’t notice when he starts responding to calls prayers
that no one else can hear, all he cares about is that someone called out to him for help and he heard them, so he’ll help
-Ichigo is beloved by his people, who he has never abandoned, not once, not over centuries of time, who the people honor and remember for his diligence and kindness He has his own shrines, built at the four corners of the town, meant to help Ichigo keep watch over the space. Ichigo doesn’t realize they’re his even though he passes them all the time
-Kisuke leaves offerings at them all the time, the people grow to know him through this, they see him at the edges, always watching over them all, one step behind or beside Ichigo, and he doesn’t realize it at first, but his status is upgraded to minor god as well
-Kisuke DOES pick up on it long before ichigo though. That the people call him a minor Kami of protection and war, of creativity and invention. He even knows when it happened- a century into Ichigo’s worship and his town had been invaded. Unlike every other Kami, Ichigo had interfered on his people’s behalf and Kisuke had been right beside him. And the people remember. They remember how the dual blades had danced, how the shop keeper who never aged but was always with their protector god had gone to war for them, how the green and gold one had danced to the beat of their protector and left blood in his wake. They remember how that same set of gods had walked among them after and helped them recover. How Kisuke had whispered of amazing things that could help them, showed them how to make those things.
-The town doesn’t question why the gods still walk among their town. They believe it is due to their still honoring them
-Ichigo of course, is there for his friends families throughout the centuries, and is even there when his friends- just born- are brought home. He doesn’t know why their parents offer the children up and ask for blessings, but he humors them And later, if he can hear his friends voices so clearly they might as well be standing at his shoulder no matter where he is well….
–
the visored, Yoroichi, and everybody at the Shoten watches worriedly
when Ichigo just kind of keels over laughing. This is Not normal
behaviour.
– Ichigo manages to gasp out “God” and “Aizen” and “didn’t need a Hogyoku”
– a week later, Ichigo is coming back to the Shoten with a very carefully packed suitcase full of bioweapons for Kisuke to very carefully dispose of or find cures to.
–
when Ichigo ‘meets’ Isshin, he calls him Goat Face, and then makes a
quick trip to Seireitei with a pocket full of photos of the man to pass
around to everybody who thinks he’s dead and is mourning him.
