I agree completely. Stop forcing ships and just see the beauty in the characters.

why do you ship Ichihime. why can't you ship Ulquihime or Ishihime. Both ships are literally dying and no one is doing anything about it. It just doesn't make sense. It's like people don't remember anything anymore. Like everyone has forgotten about them. I don't understand that. Both of them faded away, and no one cares. I hope this isn't rude. (It probably is, but it's fine if you don't want to answer.)

Not rude at all. But fair warning at some point I may say something rude even though it’s not my intention.

I ship IchiHime because I always loved how kind and gentle Ichigo is with Orihime, when he’s usually so rough with others. At the same time I also love how he recently been treating her like a partner in battle. Equal? I wouldn’t say that since Ichigo has the strength and Orihime is the defense/healer. But at least he didn’t tell her to stay behind where it’s safe the whole time. On Orihime’s side; I love how her love for Ichigo was her motivation to keep training and get stronger even if she’s not the strongest. I love how her feelings basically started off as a schoolgirl crush. Remember when she thought it would be great if all the girls liked Ichigo, that way they’d outnumber him? LOL. Then over time her crush became actual love. I always respected the fact that even when Orihime was having doubts about herself and was finding herself upset over Ichigo and Rukia, she didn’t turn on Rukia and start hating her. She expressed that she thought Rukia was amazing. I also respect the fact that when she realized she was in love with Ichigo she never threw herself at him or demand they be a couple. It just wouldn’t fit her character. She’s too shy for that.

There are several moments that always come to mind when thinking about IchiHime. 1) Orihime’s breakdown while talking to Rangiku because that was the moment I realized it was no longer just a fun crush. She’s in love. 2) The five lifetimes speech and the good bye to Ichigo. This is where she actually admitted to being in love with him. Confirmation. 3)Ichigo’s reaction to Orihime’s disappearance. When the head captain ordered everyone to turn their backs on Orihime, Ichigo looked destroyed and was in a very angry and bitter mood. This shows how much he cares for her. 4) The fight with Grimmjow in Hueco Mundo. Mainly the moment when Orihime yell out with tears in her eyes “Don’t get hurt! You don’t have to win. You don’t even have to fight anymore. Just please don’t get hurt anymore!” (I typed from memory so that may not be the exact quote. Also I’m mainly remembering the anime but you get the idea) Then that smile Ichigo gives Grimmjow when he says “Sorry, Grimmjow looks like I can’t take anymore injuries from you. 5) The soft look after the fight that Ichigo gives Orihime when he asked if she was okay. 6)In the Fullbring Arc when Orihime protected Ichigo and she explained that her and Chad have been training because they knew he’s be getting his powers back someday. 7)Ichigo getting flustered over Orihime’s new outfit. Cute. 8)Ichigo telling Orihime that she was going to play defense while he went up against Yhwach and that she was counting on her. (And while things didn’t go perfectly, she was throwing out shields left and fight. 9)When Ichigo started charging at Yhwach and ignore Orihime’s cries to stop, with just one look she understood that he did have a plan that he was not losing it. With one quick look she understood and didn’t get upset.

Basically I love IchiHime because I think they compliment each other. I love the cool tough (but not bad) boy with the heart of gold and the sweet, caring, silly, compassionate girl. Which is also why I love HitsuHina because Toshiro’s and Momo’s personalities (and even looks and powers) compliment each other.

Okay here come’s the (maybe) rude part. UlquiHime. I like Ulquiorra as a character himself. His death was very sad. However, UlquiHime is abusive. Plain and simple. He threatened to kill her friends, kept her locked up, threatened to force feed her, made her pledge loyalty to Aizen, harassed her about her friends being dead and it being all her fault, and most importantly threatened to rip her heart out just because he wanted to see one. There’s nothing romantic about it.

Now for IshiHime. I honestly see nothing wrong with this ship.I actually did try getting into it a few years ago, while still shipping IchiHime but I just couldn’t get into it.  I don’t support it but I see nothing wrong with it. As long as you’re not spite shipping Orihime with Uryuu (same goes with Ulquiorra or any other Orihime non Ichigo ship) When you see Orihime with or talking about Uryuu are complimenting her? Are you saying strong beautiful, brave and amazing she is? Most likely if you’re a fan of the ship. But what about when she’s with or talking about Ichigo? Is she still strong, beautiful, brave, amazing?  But you just don’t see it romantically? If so, great! Thumbs up!More power to you!  Or does she suddenly become useless, ugly, a failure, a slut? Then it’s spite shipping which I can’t stand. I don’t ship IchiRuki, never will. I will always favor IchiHIme and Renruki when it comes to the two. However I love Rukia and think she’s strong, beautiful, funny and amazing whether or not she is teaming up with Ichigo or not. I like Rukia and Ichigo’s partnership and friendship. She doesn’t become less appealing or great when she’s with Ichigo than when she’s with Renji. Same as Orihime doesn’t become less appealing or great when she’s with Uryuu and not Ichigo. Both are amazing no matter what.

Sorry this took so long to type up.
