You don't understand how unhinged I feel trying to construct an ending for Bleach that I personally would enjoy while knowing Bleach does not deserve my time and also not remembering enough to actually make anything coherent. And yet here I am.

KUBO DON'T USE IR CONTENT TO GAIN MORE LIKES I don't care what those ih bitches say of this-and-that and no matter what we IR fans think ih is canon. FOR 15 YEARS WE GREW UP WATCHING BLEACH WITH OUR HEARTS BONDING WITH ICHIGO & RUKIA'S FRIENDSHIP. We were used, atleast I&R HAD SO MUCH CHEMISTRY THAN UR FUCKING SHITTY i/h and oh just to mention this were she tried to kiss him in his sleep, they weren't even that close at that time. What a nice herioine u have in there. IR is forever in our hearts

Listen when I discovered there was supposed to be “IH” in the HM arc, I was shocked and didn’t even know what “IH” was supposed to be and after the initial shock bc wtf ??? Bc I only had seen IR in the story, I accpeted the fact and kept going on with the story thinking “oh well I guess after all something must have happened later in the story” and got ready to see it. The more the story went on the more IR became the real deal for me, I mean Ku/bo did everything in his powers to make IH a disaster, he gave them every negative thing possible, while Ichigo and Rukia kept being awasome, deep and positive, I got a shipper with no return after the arrancar and HM arc and Ih became my notp. Then the FB sealed the deal for me, first Ichigo’s poem then when I saw Ichigo’ whole page thinking of Rukia going through the senkaimon, then Rukia came back stopped his rain again, looked at him with shoujo eyes, they had the unbreakble bond spread and then the “the two that share destiny poem” how time stopes when they are not togther and I didn’t need more, that was it, they were already canon for me. There was no turning back from all of that, 11 years worth of canon content. 

Then when we in got in the last arc Rukia’s bankai matching Ichigo’s, Isshin and Masaki similar story, it was all a plus for me, it was just a confirmation that I was right, they were a done deal. I didn’t worry about the fact they didn’t interact bc they just needed to reunite once again and start their magic and I kept having 100% faith untill the end, because Ku/bo kept teasing they were gonna regroup with Ichigo, URAHARA’ S WORDS!! Ichigo thinking of Rukia leaving for SS as his most despairing moment after HIS MOM DEATH! and him still thinking and quoting her words about how despair couldn’t stop him. BUT the joke Ku/bo planned to do was to actually never let them meet, interact, never “leave the rest to them” and completely ignore them, their bond and their status as protagonists and destroyed his manga once and for all with his ending. 15 years of work burned, destroyed, retconned, ignored and now it looks like those where only 15 years of lies. And like I said no one can’t tell he didn’t use us IchiRuki, bc otherwise the other ship would have poems, solo color spread, calendars, covers, movies and so on.
