If you’re still taking responses for the Stupid Innocuous Bleach Faves, I love that Ichigo reads Shakespeare. Like, he doesn’t just have a casual interest. He went to college to study English Literature and became a translator. The man really likes Shakespeare. And that makes me wonder, what’s Ichigo’s favorite comedy? Favorite tragedy? Historical play? Sonnet? Do he and Orihime look for theaters putting on Shakespeare productions for date nights? (Yes, and they have a great time.) Who does he talk to about Shakespeare? I’d like to think at first he only talks to Chad about it because Chad is a great listener. Then he meets Rukia and gets her into it because she loves drama. After he gets closer with Orihime he starts recommending plays to read: Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Midsummer to start. It makes me wonder what other authors he enjoys. Agatha Christie? Jane Austen? Mark Twain? Who knows? Anyway, I just love that Ichigo is a book nerd. Specifically a Shakespeare nerd.
Stupid Innocuous Best Fave
MAN I wish I knew more about Shakespeare so I could pick out all the plays and sonnets that would be Ichigo's faves! But I've only read the few plays you get through the US public school system (mine were Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer's Night Dream, The Merchant of Venice, one of the King Henry plays, and a truly terrible high school production of Julius Caesar, which was also somehow both a sci-fi AU and a musical) and one quarter of Jacobean Shakespeare in undergrad. BUT I agree with everything you've listed here and all of these headcanons, and want to add one more.
Ichigo's favorite filmic adaptation of Shakespeare is The Merchant of Venice (2004), because Al Pacino, ICHIGO'S FAVORITE ACTOR, plays Shylock, and imho does it absolutely splendidly. He is just so good at speaking Shakespearean English and making it sound fluid and natural:
Granted, I haven't seen this movie in like 15 years, so ymmv, but I would 100% watch it again--both for Al Pacino and for Ichigo!
I’ve been busy with holiday stuff so I haven’t been able to work on it much until this week. However, it is done! But first:
The shell! I had a bit of trouble here because I accidently put part of the inner shell on upside down. Nearly had to take the thing apart. Didn’t have to though. Next:
ARMS! Honestly, I just find this picture funny. Anyway, on to the main event!
Man, he looks so cool! This has been such a cool project to work on. Now I just need to figure out where to put him. :)
Adding a late addition to this. Delico’s Nursery on Crunchyroll. It’s about a bunch of aristocratic vampires investigating a series of murders while also trying to take care of their children. It’s pretty neat so far.
It’s a bit smaller this time but that’s okay. I’m gonna try and catch up on all the dubs I want to watch.
Continuing series from the previous season:
That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime Season 3 (Crunchyroll)
Mission: Yozakura Family (Hulu)
Spice & Wolf: The Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf (Crunchyroll) (Started watching this in the middle of the previous season and forgot to add it to my previous watchlist post.)
New shows for this season:
Red Cat Ramen or Ramen Akaneko (Crunchyroll)
My Deer Friend Nokotan (Crunchyroll) (Favorite of the season)
The Elusive Samurai (Crunchyroll)
Other anime I’ve been watching:
Daily Lives of High School Boys (Crunchyroll) (Just finished. It was very stupid and funny.)
The Apothecary Diaries (Crunchyroll)
And will this be the season my wife and I finally finish Summer Time Rendering?!? Maybe! Once we finish Apothecary Diaries.
I will try to update this if we add any shows to our list. I won’t include any of the dubs I’m gonna check out because that should be it’s own post.
yuzu sent them on an errand hehe
Americans, today is our one shining day we can reblog this in our colloquial collective language
Today is Football
my little spin on the iconic delicious in dungeon comic, but with my favorite scene from thriller bark
every time i see a clip or a fanart of ichigo and asauchi-hollow-zangetsu, I want to see a friendship montage of them riding bikes and singing karaoke and sharing a banana split. let them have a little fun. i am not sure if asauchi-hollow-zangetsu is even capable of opening his mouth and it would honestly be even funnier if he can't. chad and orihime can be there, too.
We have a tail, shell rim, and chest plating! It’s really starting to come together!
So I told myself that I was gonna get better about using social media for both fun and to help promote myself. That has gone.. okay. But I am gonna try to make more of an effort.
On that note, I’m gonna be streaming this week. Tonight and Thursday at 7:30 pm (CT). I’ll be finishing up Paper Mario. After that, I have an idea for what I want to stream next. It should be pretty fun.
So yeah, I’m gonna try to be a bit more active on here. It’ll probably be mostly reblogging and my stream updates but I post about some other stuff too. Look forward to it!
Forgot to make one of these for winter. Oh well.
