🪸🌸~Presenting Wakame Taishi~ 🌸🪸

I handcrafted this with love over the last couple of weeks, feverishly trying to finish in time. You may be surprised to hear that there’s no readily available amigurumi pattern for a blob of seaweed, so I had to make it up as I went 🤣

Only a man who appreciates beauty in the simplicity of form while also promoting health benefits could have come up with this. I love him for it. What a dweeb.

🎈A belated birthday to the mastermind behind this iconic mascot, Kuchiki Byakuya!🎈

Byakuya with his dumb oc...

WAKAME TAISHI IS REAL

Kuchiki Ayumi playing with her Wakame Taishi doll, that her mother made for her.

Ayumi is my OC who is the daughter of Kuchiki Byakuya (Bleach) and Tomoyo-hime (TRC).

Here is the sketch version of this artwork.

I'm extremely pleased with how this artwork turned out, as I struggled with the background's perspective. The colors also turned out well as I was a bit unsure what colors I should use with the background and Ayumi's dress to make everything feel harmonious. Not to mention, I feel like my drawing skills have improved.

Give my muse an item and see how they react!

Has started to dissociate from pure, unadulterated fear.

Besides the obvious orchid-related topics do the Byakuya/Hisana couple have other things that they like to do together? And for something different, what might it look like if Hisana had gotten the chance to meet Ichika and/or be involved in Rukia's love life/marriage/etc?

My headcanon about Byakuya and Hisana’s marriage is that a) Hisana was already sick when they got married and they were both aware that she was not in it for the long haul, but b) she was still very mobile and able to do a lot in the first years of their marriage.

I like to think Hisana was a more social person than Byakuya, and I also think she liked being rich, so a lot of their early days involved dressing up fancy and going to parties and galas. I, personally, am pretty uncomfortable in social situations by myself, but my husband is very personable and it makes a huge difference, and I think Byakuya would feel this way too-- that for the first time in his life, he likes going out and talking to people, even if it’s just a thinly veiled excuse to show off his beautiful wife and listen to her sparkling wit. While Hisana may caused a lot of mixed feelings in Byakuya’s family, I think she was very charismatic, and there were genuinely people she was able to charm (she was also barely-reformed con artist and was loved playing mind games with people). 

Byakuya knows What’s Good in Life, and he also loved showing all of it to Hisana-- theater, fine dining, trips to the lake house. He wanted to make up for everything she didn’t get early in life and more.

At home, I think they were people who both had their own projects, but enjoyed working quietly in parallel, intersecting paths sometimes. Hisana liked to draw, primarily botanical illustrations, and she also liked to paint, flower and landscapes. Byakuya likes write poetry, and do calligraphy and to draw his weird fucking cartoons. I am standing by my assertion that Hisana had her own seaweed-based OC and they would tell little stories about Wakame Taishi and Hijiki-sama’s adventures together. One of my very niche Byakuya headcanons is that he really likes to sing, but does not feel like it’s appropriate for a clan head (he is not supposed to entertain, he is supposed to be entertained). Hisana also liked to sing, even if her voice wasn’t always up for it, and she spent some time learning to play the shamisen, and they used to make music together, just for the two of them.

I do not care if anyone else thinks this is out of character, but I think Byakuya spent a lot of time by her bedside in the later days. The man has a tremendous ability to just sit peacefully and exist, which is not something everyone can do. I think he read to her, mostly poetry, but anything she requested. Byakuya is not a person to ever take over a duty that a servant should rightfully be doing, but he knew which foods she would want, depending on how she was feeling. He kept track of her various blankets and jackets and socks. I think he really put aside the other aspects of his life to be with her in every way possible. 

ENOUGH SAD STUFF!

For the other half of the question: I have written quite a few Hisana-based AUs now, and the one thing they all have in common is that Hisana is very pro-Renji. I am very interested in the curious negative space relationship that Hisana and Renji have on each other. Renji likely would never have met Rukia (or at least wouldn’t have had the same relationship with her) if Hisana hadn’t left her behind, but also, Rukia ended up being taken away from him because of Hisana, except that, in a Hisana Lives AU, I feel like he can’t be 100% mad at that because Renji doesn’t begrudge anyone loving Rukia. In a Hisana Lives AU, I feel like she would feel tremendous gratitude to Renji for having cared for and about Rukia in the wake of her abandonment-- that Renji did the job Hisana was supposed to, and that she would want to do whatever possible to enable their relationship.

I also like to write Hisana as a nosy meddler who pesters Rukia about her love life, because Rukia is naturally so closed-off and stoic and this is how sisters are.

It depends on the AU a lot, but I tend to think that even if Hisana had lived, it’s unlikely that she would be able to have children, so I think she might naturally have some difficult feelings about her sister having a child. That being said, I think she would try really hard not to let them show (Rukia would know) and she and Byakuya would be at least four times as ridiculous as a team than Uncle Byakuya is by himself.

Me: oh my gosh, Renji has a crush on Byakuya!

*remembers the last episode of bleach happened*

Me: oh my god, Renji has a crush on Byakuya

NEED NOT REMIND HIM. FOR HE IS SENSITIVE. He shall go and wallow in sadness in a corner now.

Renji vc: Taichou.... *Hugs a Wakame Taishi plush*

and yes, i had to make this too kjhgfdfghj

[Editor’s Commentary 5/5] Hisagi’s Birthday Special Edition - Seireitei Communications 

Hinamori read over Byakuya’s feature contribution, but was truly at a loss as to where... it would be appropriate to include these jokes(?). So she put them on the back cover, a location of both maximum and minimum exposure. Unfortunately, someone [not naming names] put the master copy on a wet table and then subsequently used it as a coaster, so every single copy of the back cover looks like this.

Byakuya considers his contribution “minimalistically designed,” AKA two columns of a standard serif font, because the art of the jokes should speak for themselves. (He thinks the idea of gift cards is inherently peak comedy.) He is also the one that named his section the “Kuchiki-taichou Komedy Korner.”

The cover has been maximalistically designed by friends of Hisagi’s who were more eager to use the computers than they were familiar with Microsoft Word. They were very excited about Word Art. Very excited about diagonals.

Ichigo immediately taking back his words after realising he's taking about Wakame Taishi...

Byakuya Kuchiki (9/10/22)

More uncle Jushiro and smol bean Byakuya

I realised : "byakuya" is written like this 白哉

Another prononciation of this 白 kanji is "shiro"

Byakuya is and has always been part of the shiro chan club.

A work in progress about Kuchiki Ayumi and her Wakame Taishi doll.

Ayumi is my OC who is the daughter of Kuchiki Byakuya (Bleach) and Tomoyo-hime (TRC). She is playing with her Wakame Taishi doll that her mother made for her.
