Asagi-K-Kurosaki

So to most people who have been following me for a decent amount of time you know that I'm actually usually excessively active on here, posting usually three times a week or so, and yet the last two months or so I've actually been almost silent, welp there is a reason for that- there are actually multiple reasons for that- and the reasons are that I have: A. Been more concentrated on some stuff going on with my next book since it hit a few stumbling blocks that I ended up having to binge-edit into submission (and trust me when I say that isn't fun) and on top of that the last couple of weeks I've been working tirelessly on the Sterek Haven Big Bang and the Teen Wolf Reverse Bang to get those finished, the Big Bang was posted Friday night and the Reverse Bang doesn't have a date set yet but my point is that those beasts were 100K and 20K respectively and I wrote the vast majority of them both in the last few months, I've done a couple of stray oneshots that went up here but that's about it because I've been so focused on The Beasts, now that those are done, however, I'm back to not feeling like a clock is wrapped around my throat and resolve quite resolutely to never sign up for four coinciding events ever again *cough* Anyway with that out of the way and my not knowing how to fix this font that I've heard people can't read, let's get to the important stuff

IchiRuki is still my #1 OTP and I am still going to be writing them Despite the last couple of months being consumed by a bisexual werewolf and his equally bisexual speculated-spark boyfreind, and despite the fact that I've gotten to writing more original stuff lately than ever for various reasons, I'm still going to be sailing the SS IchiRuki all the way to.. well... SS.... although... I've come to realize that unlike with my other OTPs, my inspiration for writing Sterek has not faded at all over time so unlike other fandoms who only pop on occassion, it looks like these two dorks are going to be pretty well in swish with IchiRuki and I felt like that needed to be said because I'm pretty sure that 99% of my watchers don't even know what Teen Wolf is

Ichigo's birthday is in two days and I WILL have something ready for it I promise

I have a few event peices built up that have been going on AO3 from recent that I will upload here preferrably soon, I have two oneshots, a chaptered-fic, and once my Reverse Bang is scheduled another chapter-fic, all Sterek, that will be uploaded hopefully soon

I've found out something important recently about what I like to write and there's a pretty strong chance it'll change what's written here, in that, I actually have discovered that I prefer doing big projects over oneshots, it's not something I ever thought much about since DA seems to respond much better to small stuff so I never put too much interest into doing bigger projects simply because I had no real reason to and most of the really big stuff I've had in my head have sat on the sidelines collecting dust in favor of oneshots, but that's about to change, I still like oneshots, don't get me wrong, I'll be doing one for Ichigo's birthday and have a Sterek oneshot ready to go, I'm also going to- very hopefully- be writing some other oneshots here soon including a Gelphie one I'm half done with and a cute IchiRuki/Sterek crossover just for example, plus many ideas that I haven't started yet, but I've found in doing my 100K project and then doing a 20K right after it that I really like doing these bigger, multi-chaptered things, I know I do my Friday polls every week that are for multi-chaptered projects but they usually end up being pretty sure, in fact I can only think of one project I ever did on here that amounted to anything close to 100K and that was Of Ghoulies And Beasties from a couple of years ago, I think 2013, I had loved doing it back then but thought that was just a fluke because it was something I knew alot about- cryptozoology being that something- and had a really intense interest for, and although that's true, it was always extremely satisfying to see how long it was and how involved I could make the story, even though it didn't get much attention here on DA it remains one of my personal favorites, meaning that from now on I'm going to be doing more long projects and less achingly short oneshots and drabbles, my oneshots may in fact end up being bigger too at this point

I'm no longer going to be doing scheduled posting, except for my Friday polls, but I WILL continue Claws That Scratch The Flesh and Leave Out All The Rest, I apologize most sincerely to my BBxRae fans who have been waiting even longer than my IchiRuki readers, but I didn't expect so much to come up at once, I also learned during this posting hiatus that my posting schedule was doing much more harm than good and it was getting rediuclously difficult to keep up now that I'm getting published and working on other projects too, so I'll still finish what I started, I'll just be doing it more at my leisure

What all of this means is essentially posting in bigger quantities but with less frequency, so I may not post for a week or two at a time but when I DO post again it'll probbably be with something bigger, little oneshots along the way are pretty much bonuses

What I'm currently looking to work on provided my inspiration stays with me right now include... Claws That Scratch The Flesh, Leave Out All The Rest, a Gelphie oneshot, a oneshot for Ichigo's birthday, an IchiRuki/Sterek oneshot, a feral!Derek multi-chaptered fic, entries for IchiRuki Week and Sterek Week, provided I can get the themes announced soon for IchiRuki Week and provided Sterek Week is still happening in August like I heard it was, either way, I'll be hosting a Sterek Week in November on Tumblr so I'll still be doing one either way

Silver Moon has ended for tonight and I'm sad to say that werewolves aren't the next creature on the list, starting next week we'll have a new series to come up on Wendsdays with something entirely different, the summary below is for "Claws That Scratch The Flesh"!

IchiRuki-Centric; AU; Ichigo lived a perfectly normal, and perfectly boring life.... until a girl named Rukia litterally falls out of the sky and follows him home! The worst part is that she has no idea who she is or where she came from and she insists on following him around though.... maybe that second part isn't so bad....




So Invasion Of Territories has ended, honestly I think it flopped quite a bit, it was hard for me to write because it veered WAY off course of my original idea, but that's neither here nor there, the next one is going much easier so far and I'm hoping you'll all enjoy "Silver Moon" starting next week The summary is below!

IchiRuki-Centric; AU; Rukia is a young Irish woman who is captured by pirates, a few days into her kidnapping she was certain to face death, until the ship was invaded and she was captured AGAIN, this time by a beautifull young man named Ichigo...

Hello all! I have come to say that from now on my weekly IchiRuki series, that I usually post on twice a week will now be reduced to only being updated on Wendsdays, the reason being that there are too many projects I want to work on and need to work on that are sitting around waiting because I have to work on this one, I'm sure you've noticed my chapters for this one have been alot shorter lately and that's why as well, I'm also trying really hard to work on my books so I can get published but I don't have time for that when I'm posting two a week, not to mention a big chunk of my time has been snatched away because of my new puppy, Isabo McKenzie, who I was blessed with in November, I also still owe someone a gift and I owe an art trade to , I promise I haven't forgotten about you guys! I've just been a real mess since around April of last year, however, EVERYTHING ELSE will stay the same, the new weekly schedule, starting this week, is as follows: Wendsday: IchiRuki series (currently Invasion Of Territories) Thursday: non-Bleach series (currently Leave Out All The Rest, although honestly with this I could end up doing an IchiRuki series on Thursdays at some point instead of a non-Bleach but it depends on how my others are going) Friday: a new series poll, speaking of the new series poll for anyone who hasn't voted yet I encourage you to stick to what you like, ofcourse, but possibly consider voting for an AU? I currently have no AUs with any votes and as I started about two years ago my polls always have a winning Bleachverse and a winning AU, so if there's no AU vote by Wendsday I'm going to just post all five of those options on another poll and see where that goes, so anyway I hope this new schedule works better for everyone

So! "Potions Master He Is Not" has finished and admittedly it was ill advised of me to start posting that one so soon... or move forward with it with a plot as small as "Haru probbably can't brew potions at all" BUT there is good news, starting next Thursday- the first Thursday of 2014- I will be starting a new series on Thursday that is...

BBxRae!!

Yes I know I said Thursdays were for Free! but I decided that was a little too narrow, I have so many non-polled series that I'm trying to do (and yes some are IchiRuki I'm sorry) that I decided I needed to just use Thursdays for these and I shall, so I now present the BBxRae I've been working on for two years Hopefully now I can get back to it since I'm posting it It will be rather long, I warn, and it has a bit of a ... .different... way of having the story told But the point is, next Thursday I'll begin "Leave Out All The Rest" so keep your eyes open!

I will be posting some Christmas fics today as probbably expected, and I'd also like to announce that the new year will bring some new changes in my writing, what I post, when I post it, how much I post, etc, can't tell you what right now because it's a little short notice but I'm hoping it'll be good, so um, merry Christmas!

That's right, I just posted the last chapter of Born Again, I know 31 is an odd number to leave on but it was an October/Halloween fic sooo you know... anyway the next series will start Wendsday so keep an eye out for "Invasion Of Territories" *summary below*

All charector; IchiRuki-Centric; Due to an odd incident with hollows and Arrancar taking place in the living world, several captains and leuitenits have been stationed there for an undetermined amount of time, and that means that like it or not they'll have to atleast somewhat adjust to human life style, but will they be able to blend in, or will they lose their cover?

Since it's Halloween and everyone knows how much I love Halloween, I've decided to use today to make a couple of announcements For the first: Starting NEXT THURSDAY  I will be starting a new long-term project of multi-chaptered fics for "Free!", they will be posted one chapter a week and like my IchiRuki series one will begin right after the one before it ends, I look forward to everyone letting me know what they think about this! I would have started it tonight but I have alot of Halloween fics I want to post They'll be mostly AU because I can't seem to think of good inverse ideas for Free! for long term, and since I have an idea of what I want to be doing at the time I won't be polling options for the series, I'll just write them by my own schedule, the second is this, I'm hoping to start posting a third (besides my IchiRuki and Free! multi-chaptereds) a third long-term project that I've been working on here soon, I actually started it last year but things have been too busy to work on it, I've reorganized alot though so I'm getting back to it I hope, All I can say is that it will be IchiRuki mostly, if not completely, but I may occassionally add Free! or BBxRae to it, it'll also be unlike my other multi-chapters in a veeeeeeery special way, and atleast HALF of it is going to be fairytale based! It'll be a completely new spin on fairytales and I hope very much for it to work out well! Also I want to let you all know that I will be posting some  Halloween fics after Halloween, due to the fact that I was on vacation last week and litterally got no writing done at all I didn't finish all of what I was working on, so there will be treats here and there! And finally, don't think my vacation stories will go unannounced, keep a look out for those sometime in November

I'll be in Orlando Florida for a week starting tommorrow I'm quite excited, I met a great freind down there last year, and so if anyone wants to meet up wile I'm there please let me know I really hope someone will be there to meet X3 I'll be available all week mostly, and will be staying near Downtown Disney so that'll likely be where we can meet if anyone wants to, I'll also be doing plenty of vacation themed fics to post some time after Halloween and I WILL still have internet so worry not, the schedule will not be interrupted~

I'll be there, will you? I'll be at Anime Weekend Atlanta next Friday and Saturday if anyone wants to meet, I'll be the Rukia with black and white nail polish and a Delilah Noir ball joint doll If you want to meet just send me a message X3 Also if anyone knows when/where/if there will be a Bleach photoshoot or meet up PLEAAAASE tell me <3

That's right, the monster that is "Eclipse Of The Heart" has now ended on chapter 100 It's been a great series and I had an absolute blast writing it, it had alot of ups and downs and different things going on but now it's time to move on to the next option on the list, stay tuned for my next series, "Born Again", starting this Saturday!! The summary is below!

All charector; IchiRuki-Centric; It is discovered months after the war that many Espada have reincarnated, along with a few fallen Soul Reapers, and Ichigo and Rukia are assigned to keep track of them and ensure that they don't become trouble... but the fact that they're kids makes this task close to impossible!

To my watchers, due to my mom giving me several more ideas I will be extending Monster Week another 3 days, for a total of 13 days/fics, to conclude May 31st, finishing out the month Thank you!

Hello my lovelies! As many of you probbably know by now, I LOVE monsters, magic, and all mystery creatures, so when Animal Planet did Monster Week last year I was thrilled, now it seems that Monster Week will be an annual thing for Animal Planet and wile I don't know for how long, I do know that I'm very excited! How does this effect you? This year I have decided to do my OWN Monster Week right here on DA! How will this work? Each night during Monster Week I'll post an IchiRuki AU that is themed around humans finding creatures that most people believe do not exist, I'm going to try to keep this more on the spooky/sciencey side of things because that's how Animal Planet is doing their's, and not have it as magical and light as I usually do when I do AU (I personally both believe in the spiritual/magical AND the spookey/scientific side of any given monster) and since Animal Planet's Monster Week actually goes for EIGHT nights instead of seven (I still don't know why but I'm not complaining) I decided to extend my own Monster Week an extra two nights to round out to an even ten, meaning that it will start Monday May 20th and end Wendsday May 29th, I hope everyone has a good time and enjoys the AU I'll be doing! I'm also looking, for anyone who's curious, to finish a few projects that I've been working on for a long time in the near future, I have some oneshots written too so starting tommorrow I should be showing up with some surprises! Happy (early) Monster Week everyone!

Well looks like the other journal is full So here's a second one to be updated with Bleach headcanons as I form them

-Rukia has really easy pregnancies, her body handles it well and the hormones she's been lacking before that have caused her to be prone to depression and anxiety are gradually leveled with pregnancy so that she's generally happier and less easily stressed, she also generally experiences mild pregnancy symptoms; Ichigo claims it's good genes, Rukia jokes that it's karma finally giving her a break
-Rukia likes taking really hot baths and showers, especially hot showers because she insists that they get cold fast, Ichigo isn't happy about it, especially when he has to always be after her once she gets pregnant
-Rukia HATES shoe shopping because the only thing harder to find in her size than clothes are shoes, but Ichigo makes her go once a year to get some boots for winter (since she can usually find flip flops for the summer right away)
-Rukia loves the Disney Princesses, Ichigo thinks it's pretty weird but she's a big fan of them, she's enamoured with the fairytales and loves most of the persoanlities, especially the modern ones like Merida and Rapunzel, Ichigo is a little embarressed that the shower curtains in the guest bathroom have Ariel on them
-Ichigo and Rukia never sleep alone once they get married, they sleep together every night and not once has Ichigo been banished to the couch (he knows better)
-Rukia and Ichigo have a pact to never let eachother sleep alone, being that it brings back bad memories for them both
-Whenever Ichigo and Rukia hug it's always one of those long, tight, "I'm in the moment and nothing else matters" kind of hugs, they never give half-hearted or short hugs
-Ichigo loves to carry Rukia, he does it whenever he has the chance
-Orihime has really thick, unmanegable hair
-For some reason, Enrique Iglasis' song "Hero" makes Ichigo cry

-Ichigo and Rukia watch a very small number of reality competition shows such as The Voice, Rukia gets very invested in them and occassionally scares Ichigo with how much energy she puts into her favirote contestants
-Ichigo has to be really emotionally connected to a person to feel any sort of sexual desiere at all, and he has to be very slow about things too, he's very skittish and if someone tries to push anything on him he'll close himself off, luckily Rukia is fairly awkward about affection herself and understands his needs very well
-On the otherhand once the two are married he becomes much more open about his sexuality and openly answers most questions, teasing or not, about his and Rukia's private lives, much to Rukia's despair
-Rukia is an extreme perfectionist when it comes to gifts, so birthdays, anniverseries, and holidays- especially Christmas- are times when she gets extremely paranoid and over-stressed, she likes to overdo everything and still want it to be perfect to show how much she appreciates her loved ones, it inadvertantly causes stress on them too due to her near panic attacks... but she's very slowly learning how to handle it
-Rukia is allergic to mint
-Ichigo likes peppermint but hates spearmint
-Ichigo gets lonely very easily and finds it impossible to be productive or feel better until he's around Rukia, often times, especially when they're working, he'll just walk into her office and put his head in her lap for a wile, then get up and leave, Rukia thinks it's really strange but doesn't mind letting him do it
-Ichigo has a surprising amount of medical knowledge and tends to just spout it off whenever it's nessciairy, people think it's a little weird because they never expected him to know anything about medicine, he always brushes it off as being around his dad too much when in reality a large part of it comes from his personal experiences, after his mother died and it was left to him and his father alone to take care of his sisters he paid very close attention to whatever his father said or did when he was sick or injured and even has a few of his own medical books that he flips through now and then
-Ichigo actually knows how to cook and is pretty good at it, but doesn't like cooking for other people for fear of being teased or criticized (especially after Tatsuki did that once when they were kids) after having to cook for Rukia a few times though, and getting praise from her, he'll cook for her and only her
-When Ichigo sings he has a really raspy, sexy voice and does best singing jazzy, sultry songs, whenever he sings like that it makes Rukia melt
-Ichigo usually hates helping out at the clinic (especially when he hadn't planned to) but is slightly more willing to if he gets to wear scrubs or a lab coat- it makes him feel cool
-Rukia has really cute underwear, mostly the kind with little bows and very colorfull designs and patterns on them, sometimes they even have flowers, bunnies, etc, she doesn't like lingerie and Ichigo thinks her underwear choice is charming
-Rukia hates Mayonaise, Ichigo likes it
-Ichigo finds it really sexy when Rukia gets possessive
-Rukia gets very easily embarressed when someone suddenly compliemnts her, especially on her appearence
-Ichigo and Rukia both get nosebleeds easily
-Despite being a bad artist herself, Rukia tends to examine things in an artistic way and is very good at noticing the fine details at everything, people included
-Rukia secretly really enjoys nursing Ichigo back to health
-Ichigo wasn't born breathing, he took his first breath two minutes after he was born when Masaki held him for the first time
-When Ichigo dances he's really uncoordinated but he has a habbit of being incredably sexy and provacativ without even realizing he's doing it- hip swirves seem to be his best technique
-Ichigo is extremely self-conscience about his sexuality, when he was younger he was sensitive and cried often before his mother died, and as a teenager he had no interest in sex and was a complete prude, so he often has had comments made about "being a girl" or other immasculating things, it's one of the few insecurities that he has and is very bothered by, even teasing is upsetting for him as Rukia learned the hard way, once she realized how sensitive he is about such things, however, she made sure that anyone to make a negative comment to him about it will be dealt with by her
-Rukia is afraid of thunder, not all thunder, mostly thunder storms when it has bad wind
-Ichigo never wants to make a woman cry, at all costs, and he tries not to make women angry, he has alot of respect and chivalry for women and will go out of his way to keep the peace, or in cases of those he loves to make them happy
-Rukia takes on the guilt of everything and is one of those people who says "I'm sorry" whenever there's bad news even if it isn't her fault, because of this she always is very cautious of not making anyone she cares about genuienly mad at her, annoyed or irritated fine, but not genuienly angry, if she does or thinks she does she'll be extremely apologetic and angry at herself
-Rukia can't stand it when Ichigo tries to feed her, he's only tried it a few times after feeling paticuarly affectionate but she won't stand for it, always becoming extremely embarressed and shy and pushing him away, he finds it odd since she has no problum sharing food and in fact often steals off his plate, but when it comes to hand-feeding... she wants nothing to do with it....
-Usually Ichigo and Rukia both hate pet names, but there's one for each of them that seems to make them melt.. for Rukia it's 'Sweetheart', and for Ichigo it's 'Honey', neither one will let on (consciencely) that they like it.. but they can both see very easily in eachother that they're effected, so in private they have been known to be very fond of calling eachother these things on a somewhat frequent basis, never in public though, way too personal to spit out in public...
-All joking aside, Ichigo is a very adament feminist, he not only was raised to respect women but growing up in a clinic he's been exposed to some of the horrible things that go on behind closed doors and it made him want to be one of the few guys out there who stands on their side, more than anything he wants rape and domestic abuse to stop as he's seen the shocking numbers and the horrible things that those two acts have done, he once went to a feminist protest when he was 17
-Ichigo is the first person to ever tell Rukia she's genuienly beautifull
-Ichigo is more ticklish than Rukia, wile her sweet spots are usually just her neck and feet, Ichigo's entire body is ticklish when touched the right way
-In some ways Ichigo would have made an excellent doctor, he's very charismatic and good at making people feel comfortable with him, however, he can't stand seeing pain and death, so he would have taken alot of things on himself too
-When Ichigo is frustrated he pulls at his hair
-Renji likes to quietly sing to himself when he walks somewhere alone (or thinks he's alone) especially Elvis and Micheal Jackson, this only started when he began listening to living world music, before that he hummed random tunes
-Rukia has a slight problum with infomercials, specifically cooking supplies, it isn't uncommon for Ichigo to find packeges on the doorstep from some random place full of cookware and a charge on his credit card from days prior at various times in the AM, this wouldn't be such a problum if any of the stuff actually WORKED... but sadly, for the most part, it's all junk
-Although he doesn't discover it until long after he and Rukia become a couple (and doesn't discover the full extent until they've been married for quite some time) Ichigo is very .. seductive.. when he wants to be
-Ichigo's favirote fruit is cherries
-Rukia has a weakness for pet names but only when said by Ichigo
-When Ichigo is upset he eats alot; when Rukia is upset she doesn't eat at all
-Ichigo has a secret nerd side; not just in the way that he collects comic books and such as mentioned before, but he sometimes draws on random information that he learned from science and biology books, between his own mild interest in it and the fact that his father had tons of them in with the medical books that he used to flip through as a child, he ended up maintaining quite a bit of information and sometimes he draws upon it for almost no reason
-Ichigo is pretty good with computers, wich is a good thing considering he seems to have alot of frequent technical issues
-Akon really likes instant Alfraido pasta
-Ichigo and Rukia have a "date night" on Friday afternoons where they go to see a movie, just to spend a little time away from the usual havoc of life and with eachother
-Ichigo and Rukia also have a TV schedule that they refer to every night, Rukia is slightly more willing to admit to it than Ichigo but neither of them really like admitting it, too afraid of being accused of being "addicted" to TV
-A few years after the Ryoka invasion and the start of Soul Reapers bringing things back from the living world, Soul Society developed real-time cable that connects to that of the living world TV programming..... some Soul Reapers quit their jobs shortly after and became hermits
-Surprisingly Ichigo really likes Saturday Night Live
-Once a month or so Ichigo forces Rukia to clear off some of the stuffed animals on the bed, the process takes an average of two hours at any given time and she usually only gets rid of three or four at the most.... somehow it doesn't seem to actually reduce the pile at all and he SWEARS that by the same time the next month there are actually MORE....
-Ichigo visits his mother's grave every Mother's Day until Rukia gets pregnant shortly after their marriage; he starts spending Mother's Day celebrating the entire day with her and trying his hardest to make her happy, but he still thinks of his mom throughout the day
-Rukia doesn't go on the internet often, but much to Ichigo's dismay when she does she tends to stay there hunched up in the same position for hours "finding things", it isn't uncommon for him to wake up at four in the morning when she's on a spree, roll over, and see her on some ICanHazCheezeburger wannabe site or Googling song lyrics in other languages
-Isshin is one of those people who can never suffer in silence, if he hears bad news he HAS to call Ichigo or go home and tell Yuzu or Karin what it is, it's sadly not uncommon for him to call Ichigo at work just to tell him that he saw a dead animal on the side of the road that morning or that their mailman died of a heart attack the night before, once he called Ichigo at midnight to tell him that the neighborhood kid was covered in poisen ivy so not to go near him for a few weeks..... he called back two hours later complaining that he regretted returning the kid's soccer ball to him earlier, as now he was itchy
-Although Rukia usually goes to bed earlier, if one of them is up past three A.M. it is ALWAYS Rukia, weather it's because she's working on something late or has made a new discovery on the internet or TV, or is reading a book, it doesn't matter, it is ALWAYS her
-Even though Ichigo is a dog person, he still loves kittens and cats
-Neither Ichigo nor Rukia like being alone anymore, not after all that's happened and especially for extended amounts of time, although if it came down to it Rukia does handle it slightly better than Ichigo does, but really, they'd both just feel better being near eachother as much as they can
-Ichigo is a big Micheal Jackson fan
-Shuhei's crush on Rangiku knows no bounds, he tries past all logical forms of thinking to impress her but she sadly never notices him, he even made her edible underwear once for her birthday... after the oven exploded and he made a second batch, she, sadly, didn't notice they were underwear and ate them before he could explain, this was a very sad day for him
-Orihime's favirote Pokemon is a Jigglypuff
-Rukia adores Tribbles, she isn't much of a Trekkie but when Ichigo showed her Tribbles online she wouldn't shut up until he got her one of the interactive, purring Tribbles, wich she often carries around randomly just to annoy him, she also likes to put it on his head when he's sleeping wich freaks him out
-Rukia holds grudges more easily and for longer than Ichigo does, despite that, Ichigo is a Cancer, he has high tolerance for people (generally) so is ready to forgive them if he believes they're sorry for what they did, on the other side of the coin, when his paitience has finally been tested and he's had it for good, there's no re-earning his trust, once his final button is pushed no one, no matter who they are or what they do, can get him to forgive them, in addition, although he forgives he never forgets, if you've truly wronged him he'll remember every last detail about every single thing and use it against you if he gets angry enough
-Ichigo can make himself cry, not fake crying like Rukia but ACTUAL crying, he learned to do it as a kid to psych out Karin and Yuzu whenever they were having a tantrum (and it worked like a charm too) and because of this he usually has good control over NOT crying as well, this, however, doesn't ALWAYS help...
-Isshin is a big fan of Royal Pains and ships Hank/Jill and Evan/Divya, especially the latter, he still ships them even though he loves Paige, it is not uncommon for Ichigo to walk downstairs in the middle of the night and find him in front of the TV watching intensely and screaming whenever an Evan/Divya moment happens.... Ichigo finds this extremely weird....
-Isshin is also a big fan of the 1980s "Beauty And The Beast" series as well as ALF, Ichigo doesn't like people knowing about it
-Rukia only exercises by training and sparring, she hates "formal" exercises such as weight lifting and running because she gets bored too easily (and frustrated for that matter) and quits, Ichigo, on the other hand, likes running and sports, but doesn't go much for formal exercises either
-Stark and Lillinette reincarnate as twins, belonging to a huge, middle class family with their parents being a stay-at-home mom and a hotel chain CEO, they have tons of brothers and sisters that usually get along very well with them, and whenever they do get lonely, they still confide in eachother
-Ichigo is conflicted about reality TV, some of the bases for compitition (talent shows especially and survival shows) look so interesting... but watching all the drama just makes him sick... the fact that he can never watch things with all the drama and back-biting make him value the very few reality compition shows he DOES watch even more
-Orihime's strong imagination and short attention span make for some very interesting stories if she could ever sit down long enough to write them, she also sometimes zones out and daydreams something that she thinks has happened, only to find out it never did, for example, she once could have sworn she saw Uryuu and Renji making out in school, the rumours spread through the school AND the Gotei 13.... but she later found out that she had imagined the entire thing...
-Ichigo and Rukia both love "The Big Bang Theory", but to their surprise, Uryuu can't stand it
-Rukia usually has no interest at all in anything at Ichigo's school..... except when she passes the music room during orchastra practice, she has always wanted to learn to play the violen and when Ichigo has an extra class or something she stands outside the music room and listens, once she was caught by the teacher and invited to sit in on a practice, she's never told anyone, but since that day she's longed to learn to play, and feels upset whenever she comes to the realization that she most likely never will, unbeknownst to her, Ichigo found out about this by accident one day and plans to buy her violen lessons for her next birthday
-Once wile on vacation with his family in the United States, wile his dad was at a medical convention, Ichigo got severly dehydrated and had to go to the hospital, it was terrifying for him to not be able to communicate with the doctors there, being that his altered state of mind made it hard to speak or understand English, from then on whenever he goes on vacation, especially out of the country, he makes sure to keep his sisters and whoever else he's with hydrated and keep a close eye out for any signs of illness or injurery so that he can be sure to never let his companinions be in that position, it scared him half to death when he was vacationing with Rukia in the USA one night and she had a muscle spasm in her back, he was able to massage it out but before he did he was more nervous than he'd ever been
-Yuzu used to be a huge fan of Webkinz and Bellasara, she probbably spent over a hundred dollars on cards and plushies from those websites, but would always get upset when her computer crashed, when the technician drew the conclusion that the website was causing it it broke Ichigo's heart to have to tell her
-Ichigo and Rukia are probbably two of the only people who can legitatemly enjoy a road trip together
-Ichigo has terrible allergies every pollen season
-In another life, Ichigo and Rukia were students at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizzardry, Ichigo was a Gryffindor and a Beater on the Quidditch Team, Rukia was a Slytherin and a Seeker on the Quidditch Team as well, the two had an on-going rivalry for seven years, the entire time wile falling in love
-Even though Rukia's love for animals is more obvious, she'll never outdo Ichigo when it comes to baby animals in private, he will coo and coddle and become an absolute mush ball, especially if he has to, say, bottle feed a kitten or something, there will be no going back then
-In AUs where Ichigo is a musician, Isshin is one of his biggest fans... sadly it's mostly in an embarressing way, he's never slow or hesitant with the hugs and tears of joy and whenever Ichigo plays a big event or is on a popular show Isshin is very overly excitable, often pointing and cheering wildly and screaming things like "That's my son! That's my boy! I made that!" it's horrible for poor Ichigo, who's trying to maintain a cool image, and he often turns multiple shades of red, Heaven forbid he should be on a talent/music show ... Isshin will go nuts...
-Ichigo, having grown up in a clinic and raised two sisters, is a master pill giver, it's a skill that comes in handy with pets, small children, and Soul Reapers who hate medication, slipping it in ice cream, crushing it in drinks, even burrying it in peanut butter and scraping it in someone's mouth when they aren't suspecting it, when someone is sick and Ichigo has the pill bottle they better watch out
-There is nothing in any world like hearing Ichigo baby talk to a puppy or kitten, much to his dismay, though he usually hides it quite well, sometimes a baby animal is too cute and he can't hold it in
-When it comes to his pets being sick Ichigo is the biggest worrywart you will ever come across, it isn't uncommon for him to stay up and watch them sleep to make sure they're still breathing
-Ichigo really goes crazy if he thinks he won't be eating for a wile, it was never much of a big deal before he became a Soul Reaper but with all the times of going without food he tends to feel deeply disturbed whenever there's the assumption that he might not eat, for example, if Yuzu goes to a sleepover and Rukia isn't home/around and it's just left to himself, his father, and Karin, he'll be screaming for pizza at the top of his lugns, Heaven forbid he should be on a road trip or vacation or something where he doesn't know where a food place is....
-Ichigo shuts down when he's under too much stress; that's why he's accused of "not paying attention" and "being stupid" so often, once his stress level hits about 50% he just starts going off the radar, he can hear what you say but won't be able to absorb any information, he'll lose any observational skills as well, wich is part of the reason why he's so horrible at seeking out reistsu, if he isn't kept calm he can really lose control of his senses, it's common with Cancers, and is part of the reason why he gets depressed so often and so easily, once his senses have started shutting down his emotions become harder to control and he eventually shuts down everything, this is also why he's so "unobservant" in battle- it isn't that he isn't paying attention to his opponent or surroundings, it's that no matter how hard he tries to concentrate on something the only thing he can feel is stress
-Rukia, on the other hand, is MORE observant under stress, when her stress levels rise her senses become hyper sensitive, everything from sight and sound to thoughts and emotions, this is, unfourtinately, the one downfall, that her emotions tend to heighten and sometimes overcome her sense of logic, but on the plus side when she's under stress it's nearly impossible to outsmart her or sneak up on her, she'll be more in tune to everything around her, ofcourse this also means she'll easily get distracted and lose focus
-For most of Ichigo's life Isshin invited people over without telling anyone beforehand, Ichigo always hated that people would be at the door for one night and not know about it, so he eventually started freaking out the guests, for example, when he invited over some hospital executives and said "We're having people for dinner" he said "Ok Hannibal" and decided to make Hannibal references all night, beginning with "My dad says we're having you for dinner, hope you taste good with steak sauce" and ending with "I don't know what cut of meat this is but I think his name was Jack", Isshin never invited someone over without giving Ichigo a week's notice from then on
-When Ichigo gets angry he's angry with everyone, not litterally really, but he tends to take it out on other people, a few people are aware of this and can very easily remind him of this and get him to stop and calm down, even though most of the time his anger just comes out as being cold, it's hard on others, though, who don't know this about him; he's trying to get control of it but it's hard
-Yuzu takes dance lessons
-When it comes to intimate moments, weather emotional or physical, Ichigo won't stand for interruptions, if the phone rings he'll turn it off, if someone walks into the room he tells them to leave, he finds it extremely offensive if the person he's with shifts their attention to the interruption and if they leave or ignore him he gets his feelings extremely hurt
-Ichigo acts alot like a surogate parent to alot of his freinds, he's not really aware of it, only to enough of a degree that he feels responsable for them, and when they're unhappy or unhealthy he takes it as his fault and feels extreme guilt about it
-Ichigo is a huge Tim Burton fan, especially the darker stuff like Sweeny Todd and Edward Scissorhands
-Ichigo often reverts to singing Disney songs when he does something mundane like driving or cooking, especially Disney princess songs since Yuzu made him watch princess movies with her all the time, he hates it when Rukia catches him
-Ichigo is a master swaddler
-Ichigo's voice cracked alot in puberty, not for a long time though, it was like one or two months of nails on chalkboard and then he never had trouble with it again ((Thanks to FallenPharaoh/rain-soaked-knight for making me develop this one))
-When Rukia first went through puberty she became a little awkward around Renji for a wile, after about a month though she realized that he didn't notice and went mostly back to normal
-Ichigo is, for some weird reason, insanely good at guilt tripping people and giving puppy eyes
-Rukia ships Sterek
-Ichigo is slightly germophobic, not in a really extreme way but this is why he doesn't like cleaning, the work doesn't bother him, he'll gladly wash cars or vaccume or make his bed, but when it comes to thinks like laundry, washing dishes, or cleaning out a closet, he does everything in his power to either get out of it or not touch anything, he's really not sure why either, whenever he has to clean up something potentially dust ridden he wears a mask and gloves, Rukia thinks it's the funniest thing she's ever seen but Ichigo gets rather annoyed with it, this is actually why Yuzu is still currently doing his laundry, Heaven forbid he should sweat on something or get a stain on it, he won't touch it again until it's perfectly clean
-Rukia is absolutely the best when it comes to birthdays, besides being a perfectionist, she's also extremely good at knowing what people like and treats them to the best day of the year, it's no surprise everyone gets excited over their birthday and when it's Rukia's birthday they all try to make it special in their own way, sadly very few people actually succeed, weather it be from timing something wrong or having some sort of accident, or from not knowing her well enough to really understand what she's like, not surprisingly, Ichigo and Renji are usually the most successfull on her birthday with Ukitake coming in a close third, Byakuya has an A for effort
-Renji is bisexual, although weather or not he's ever actually been with a man is a closely guarded secret, he HAS had crushes that stand out a little more obviously than he'd like to admit, the Women's Association once suspected it after he and Shuhei had a rather eventfull night at a bar, luckily for Renji the only asked if he was gay, to wich he could honestly deny, professing that he liked women and there should be plenty of proof of that if they'd bother calling any of his past dates, it was never brought up again much to his releif, despite all this Rukia knows and has known for quite some time now, even though Renji never actually TOLD her, they have a mutual understanding that she knows and he's ok with that after the war with Aizen when they were having lunch and she casually pointed out an attractive male officer that passed by and asked if he'd like her to get the boy's number, he simply said he wasn't interested and that was more than enough for them both to confirm their loose suspecions; unlike women, who Renji finds instant attraction with in terms of looks and personality, he only has ever found PERSONALITY attractive in men, and has only ever had crushes on Shuhei, Byakuya, and Ichigo, the latter two never found out about this, weather he and Shuhei ever had an affair, however, is still a secret, although meeting up casually here and there has been rumoured for a wile and neither cares to deny it
-Raven is by far the best gift getter in the tower, wich causes very slight irritation on Robin's part, being that he considers himself to be a VERY observant person and moreover has files on everyone there, but sadly there's just no beating an empath at these things; coincidentally Beastboy is by far the WORST gift-getter in the tower, the only one he even can somewhat get a gift for is Cyborg because they have such a simaler personality, once he and Raven started dating and he started trying REALLY hard, he was able to do atleast a decent job at her gifts
-Soul Reapers are paid from their squad funds, wich is why at any given point a Soul Reaper of the same rank could be making more or less money than another of the same rank of a different squad, the capatin decides the paychecks- even their own- and this also explains why some subordinates complain more than others, potentially this means a squad member could make pennies and the captain make multi-thousands or even vice versa, depending on how much incidentals cost per year, for example, Ukitake pays his leuitenit %25 more than he puts in his own check, believing that they work harder because of his illness, on the other end of that spcetrum Kurtosutchi underpays his squad members significantly as many experiments he conducts have to come from his own wallet (being that the Head Captain refuses to let the squad fund them) Byakuya doesn't give himself a paycheck because he doesn't think he needs one and instead dishes out the money very evenly amoung squad members, then there's Squad Eleven where paychecks are slim simply because of how much they have to pay in damages to the squad per year, however even with this Kenpachi only allows himself a considerably small paycheck because he doesn't really need anything, so he lets most of the money be divided from the higher members of the squad, letting them make the decisions, it's all completely based on the captain and how well the squad operates, in terms of funds Squad Seven is easily the most financially well off and Kommamura pays his leuitenit the same amount he gets, and pays all other officers are very nice amount as well, on the other side Squad Four, due to being in constant need of supply and providing free treatment to other squads, get paid pretty poorly and the highest paychecks are given to the captain and leuitenit, Rukia, once she becomes captain, decides to base the finances on equivalent exchange and pays her officers based on how much and how well they work, regardless of rank, Ichigo has decided to take this on as well but has a considerably poor financial measurement radar and has a tendency to overpay- especially when someone asks for a raise, it's SADLY easily to manipulate him- and leave less for himself as well as less for the squad when damages occur, luckily his leuitenit and Rukia have much better ideas of pay and can correct his mistakes and help him tell people no or refund the squad with their own money, and Rukia helps him personally at home, if it weren't for those two however he'd be somewhat destitute believing that he owes low working squad members money and having no idea that they pulled the wool over his eyes
-For reasons still unknown, Ichigo somehow was forced into attending a belly dancing class during the 17 months Rukia was gone, unexpectedly, he was really good (a shock since he can't dance a step in any other kind of dancing) and he secretly took several more classes over the coming months because he liked the exercise of it, it was a magnificent way for him to work out and stay in shape without having to do anything too rigerous, boring, or illegal, or anything that brought back too many memories of his Soul Reaper days, he only took enough to be able to practice at home and to this day the only person who knows he can do this is Rukia, due to... circumstances that ultimately lead to her having a distinctly new respect for him....
-Ichigo's neck is his weak spot, if someone touches him there he gets fidgety and embarressed, if someone kisses or bites him there, however, he gets submissive, the harder the bite, the more submissive he becomes, a tool that Rukia uses to her advantage as often as possible
-Rukia hates being called 'Young Lady' or any form of the term because she feels that whoever addresses her that way has zero respect for her
-Ichigo ships Destiel
-At one point Chad tried to teach Ichigo some Spanish, he gave up in less than three days
-Ichigo is actually a big fan of "An American Horror Story", despite how disturbing it is, however, he does have to close his eyes 99% of the time when nudity or sex is involved, the rare 1% is only if it's a dead body too mangled to see anything, anyone who knows this is slightly concerned for his mental well being.... except for Rukia who consistantly makes it through every episode without ever shutting her eyes; Renji, after seeing one episode and witnessing this, has been seriously considering holding some sort of intevention or psychological testing for her ever since
