Man... Ichiruki it's not only a perfect ship, but it has POWER, this ship alone can literally carry the f*cking franchise in back, put ichiruki in it and it sells! This ship keeps a lot of people engajed with Bleach content until today! This ship is not only strong enough to make people who didn't ended Bleach or who don't watch it, think that they are official, but it makes the CANON PAIRINGS BE IGNORED, my girlies, same after the ending, Bleach live action and theater performances put ichiruki on it! It's like the ending never happened. Man, the FANON SHIP it's treated with more love and has more content in other medias, than a canon one, it's literally like they're official... MAN ICHIRUKI HAS THE POWER.

My Tribute to my Favorite Ichiruki Edit (until now)
I love how this summarizes everything about ichiruki
...
(edited august 2023)
It's so easy to claim that what differenciates Rukia from Ichigo's other friends is that she gave him magical powers and thus his identity as a shonen main protagonist.
But that's not the reason actually it's not even close
..
First, let's dive into
1. why Ichigo wanted power.
It's true that there's an altruistic side of him who wants to help others out of pure kindness.
But it's not all as naive as some may think. Actually, from my perspective, there is a huge egocentric advantage he gains from it.
Ichigo wanted power because he was guilty of Rukia's injury and of his family imminent death that he will cause because he had interfered with Rukia's job. The latter gave him the opportunity not to blame himself again like it was the case with his mother's death and he grabbed that chance.
But this reason depended on those precise circumstances and it was not enough to make him commit. That's why, in the second chapter, he was reluctant to be a subtitute.
Tumblr media
The only reason he accepted was that he understood that if he didn't help powerless Rukia, she would die sacrificing herself once again and thus he would be guilty of her death.
This was the perfect chance for him to redeem himself from "killing" a protector (his mother) by aiding/protecting a protector (Rukia)
Ichigo also wanted power because he never forgave himself for "killing his mother" and he wanted to inflict pain on himself for the sake of "protecting", the same cause that his mother died for.
Tumblr media
Morever, he wanted power because a side of him loved challenges and lusted for blood for his selfish pleasures (Lust arc / Shaking Throne volume ) .
2.what was he longing for when he lost that said power
In the meantime of all this shonen manga shenanigans, Ichigo, just like the readers, lost focus/didn't realize/didn't want to admit to himself what was the main advantage about gaining this power. Ichigo considered Rukia's importance only from a pragmatic angle :
thanks to her power and her guidance, he can "protect his friends" => he "unlocked his identity as a shonen protagonist"
However, when he became powerless and when his friends were in danger, the first thing that he thought about after he awakened his fb power was how it will enable him to restore his shinigami powers
Tumblr media
Not even "with this I might ... really be able to save my friends!!" What a selfish bastard
And when he thought about what made him want to get his powers back, it was her.
(and the expression he made was not something that conveyed pride in any sort of but rather longing and desolation)
Tumblr media
He envisioned Rukia, as an individual, without her zanpaktou that represents her shinigami power ; just her wearing her kimono because it was only by regaining his powers that he would get to meet her again
When Ichigo saw Rukia again, after he regained his powers, everything became clear to him.
Tumblr media
He left the power he so longed for ever since his mother died to stare at her.
This power is no longer a device to redeem himself, to inflict pain on himself or to satisfy his own pride.It became a device to connect with someone thus once he could see Rukia again, he didn't need that power anymore .
Every power he gained is worthless compared to the greatest gift that it granted him which is meeting Rukia as an individual
That's why I love chapter 460.
Aside from the fact that Ichigo became aware of the weight of his feelings, it's also a good representation of what's the most important aspect of Ichigo's odyssey, this whole manga and even life in general
It's not about the glories, the wealth, the egocentric self enlightment quests or redeeming oneself for past mistakes.But it's about the connection you build with someone that is dear to you.
So, after pointing out how Ichigo values Rukia's presence in his life more than his power, I'll be talking about the main topic part.
if Rukia's value is not linked to the presence or the absense of the powers then what makes her endearing to him ?
3 what doesn't differenciate Rukia from everyone
...
I don't know whether Kubo has done it deliberately or not, but every girl Ichigo met and heavily interacted to after meeting Rukia has something in common with her.
Hiyori : uses her fist first, straighforward
Riruka : likes cute things,
Nel : a warrior who protected him (and failed)
Ikumi : bossy, someone older than him, who tried to give him guidance (but failed because Ichigo doesn't see her as an equal), tried to convince him to help her with her job
Besides that, Urahara is the one awakened Ichigo's true shinigami powers and truly trained ( then deceived ) him and Ginjo did the same for his fullbring powers (then betrayed him too)
However, Ichigo didn't see them in the same light as he sees Rukia, which proves that it's not those individual character traits that makes him so fond of her.
Her liking cutes things,
Her being straighforward and bossy ,
Her being a warrior and protecting him
Her trying to give him guidance,
Her giving him shinigami power,
are not what differenciates Rukia from everyone.
4 Then what differentiates Rukia from everyone
The best thing about ichiruki is we never had Ichigo even indirectly stating the precise reason why she's so dear to him.
We can only guess
....
Rukia is someone who never hold him accountable for her imminent execution but was ready to throw hands when he dared to insinuate he won't help people in need.
Tumblr media
Someone who never wanted to burden him with her problems even though he was partially responsible for them.
Tumblr media
Someone who promised her unconditional time to listen to every one of his burdens and who dared to dream about this future for his sake when she knew her days were numbered .
Tumblr media
A proud woman who had to be strong for too long but who trusts him enough to show him solely her tears / vulnerability.
Tumblr media
Just like that beautiful edit said
"I am learning to appreciate the simple things like you"
Rukia is special to Ichigo simply because she's Rukia and just like he said , "Rukia is "weird"
She's not like any other person he met
Tumblr media
I guess you would tell me
" What does that even mean ? You didn't add anything new to the table ! No one is like anyone"
but you see that's it. That's the essence of why they are fond of each other
What differenciate Rukia from everyone could be :
1. one of those qualities
2. all of them
3. beyond that
4. something that happened in an out screen moment that was not revealed in the manga
We will never know
But one thing for sure, it will always be a gesture, a stare, a saying that Rukia made and not anyone else
It will always be the fact that it emanated from Rukia, an individual, as a whole with all her qualities, her flaws and her weird antics
The unconditional love and the fondness for the individuality of the person you hold dear to your heart is why ichiruki is so endearing to me.

@black--sun​ asked: Hmmm do ichi
Tumblr media
Send me a character and I'll tell you
snrrk so predictable ash! But yis, i would love to do Ichi bc I think he deserves a lot of love.
My NOTP for the: I have a lot of NOTPs for Ichi but lmao, they’re all super rarepairs i think? UlquiIchi would be the really big one that I just really do not like. I like exploring trauma and toxic relationships and growth but this is one that i simply cant fathom. Others would be like. Ichigo with MOST shinigami. Idk, there’s just somethign skeeze about that for me and it has everything to do with asking a boy to go to war for you and then abandoning him when he needed help.
My BROTP for them: RenIchi or ChadIchi or IchiRuki or KeigoIchi or TatsuIchi they are BROS doing BRO THINGS. Ichi deserves to have some hella strong friendships, people who have his back no matter what. But more importantly i think he deserves to have relationships that exist outside of all the war and fighting. Keigo, Chad, and Tatsuki especially have had his back from the outset, even thought only one of them could follow him to the battlefield. Need i remind u tho about that one time Keigo tried to kill Aizen with a stolen sword? Bc if anyone ever doubted WHY keigo and ichigo are friends its bc keigo has balls of fucking steel and he is RIDE OR DIE. Ichigo having friends that he can play game with and talk to about books and movies and fashion and gossip and go to weird parties (collage or otherwise) together is encouraged in this house and if they wanna fuck as well then good for them
My OTP for the: Lmao this one is not surprising considering how big a GrimmIchi shipper I am. its about the DRAMA! The VIOLENCE! the confusion between passion lust and hunger its TOO GOOD
My second choice pairing for the: Only ship that comes anywhere close to grimmichi for me is ShiroIchi and thats all about the self love and its a different flavour than grimmichi. the dynamic can never be replicated tho there is overlap.
My fluffy pairing for them: ehehehehhehehehe grimmichi can be fluffy sometimes, it can even be fluffy when theres blood involved. Hmmm but if i offered a different one........ I cannot.
My angsty pairing for them: O grimmichi again. obviously. I like the angst. I like to make them hurt. I like it when they cry. But i actually can offer more options here bc i love angst so much. ShiroIchi got some great angst always. AiIchi if you want something very toxic 👀. Not so much on the romantic side of things, but UraIchi does have some really good angst. The guilt. The repair of a relationship that could have been ruined from the outset.  Other angst i always enjoy are the onesided relationships. IchiHime can fit here for me (usually with GrimmIchi)
My favorite poly ship for them: I love polyships. I love them so much. Grimmshiroichi is def my go too but I also like grimmichihime and grimmichiruki as odd as those relationships might be on the surface.
My weirdest pairing for them: .............. tbh idk really? I think ichigo has a lot of love to give, if he wanted to. I think, though, that he also ummm doesn’t really notice people love him back unless bludgeoned over the head with it. This makes for some really out there ships given the right set of circumstances but it also requires a certain personality type to um. bludgeon him. Moth got me onto NnoiIchi which im really only onto for the fucking and no hope for the romance but lmao. its like grimmichi but with less morals.

     Ichihime, who barely knew each other up until the beginning of the story, being connected through Ichigo saving Orihime’s life for the first of many times; Orihime’s childhood crush on him growing and maturing into something so so much stronger, falling in love with him more every day; them always being there when the other needs them; Orihime bringing Ichigo back from the brink, or even back, from the dead because her love for him was stronger than the cold, sturdy truth that is death; and him never once doubting her and her ability, never once thinking she was weak despite what she thought about herself; him swearing on his own life that he wouldn’t let her get hurt anymore; Orihime wanting to be strong enough to protect Ichigo the way he protected her all these months; Orihime being so full of love for Ichigo and Ichigo being so full of love for her right back.
     Ichiruki, whose bond was forged from the most urgent of situations; Rukia throwing herself into certain death to save Ichigo, who was only a human to her; and Ichigo willing to do whatever it took to save his family, not hesitating when Rukia held her sword and transferred her powers to him; them growing closer even as they got on each other’s nerves and were practically forced into this situation; Ichigo slowly learning what it meant to be a Shinigami through Rukia’s small lessons and his own experience; Rukia fighting tooth and nail to get her brother to spare his life, going with them to what she knew was her certain death in order to prevent his; Ichigo nearly dying twice in the timeframe before going to Soul Society and yet persisting still to rescue her for something he believed to be his fault; Saving her from the execution after going through one of the most haphazard bankai achievements in history done only by one other person; Him denying that he cared about her and was simply repaying a debt, when in reality he cared so much about her, about how she’d changed his life, that he was willing to die if it meant she got to live.
     Both of these are good in their own right. Both of these have a dynamic that is different yet so similar, in the fact that they all care about the other person. They’ve all become closer than just friends; Rukia, Orihime AND Ichigo. They’re all important, no one would be where they are without the others. Liking one or the other is fine, that’s okay, but don’t immediately try to discredit the other just because it’s not what you believe. Both are valid, both are beautiful. Thank you and goodnight.

My thing has always been why aren't IR fans mad at studio pierrot instead of Kubo? Kubo has always known Ichihime was going to be end game. He never led them on to believe otherwise. It's the studio that jumped the gun giving them filler IR scenes that never existed in the manga because they wrongly assumed IR would be endgame. They have all this anger towards kubo when they should've been pointing their pitch forks studio pierrot's way. Even then if they bothered to read the manga despite pierrot fucking up they still would've seen Ichihime coming a mile away and not been surprised they were endgame. I understand if they didn't like the fact that their ship wasn't endgame. For me sometimes I like canon ships and sometimes I like fanon ones. Depends on the dynamic and how well written the ships are. However in the case of Ichihime even if you didn't like the ship, how you can say it came out of nowhere is mind boggling. The signs were so blatant that even if you had shipping goggles on you still would've noticed it. To say otherwise is the living embodiment of delusional at it's finest.
The crazy thing is that before Bleach ended, IR shippers were like....weirdly affectionate with Kubo??? They would talk to/about him as if they were in on some ~open secret~ with him in regards to him shipping IR. Like if Kubo drew a colorspread featuring Ichigo and Rukia they would worship and praise the fuck out of him like "omg, sensei is SO good to us! We're so spoiled!!! :) He wants their love to be known!" or "oooooh sneaky sensei, look at him drawing all that IR eye-smex ;)" or they would be like "the number one ichiruki shipper is Kubo sensei!!!" and it was just like....??? Why? Because he drew a colorspread featuring his two main characters? Wow, *shocking* Maybe that would actually mean something if Bleach weren't a shounen...y'know...where platonic nakama bonds are featured on the colorspreads the most but okay, sure, w/e.
Like I get that all shipping fandoms do that, we thank the creator when they give us new content for our pairings and stuff but idk dude, some of it just seemed excessive at times I guess?
Some of them even believed some forum post from an IR fan who claimed to have made friends with Kubo at San Diego Comic Con (lmfao) and that he promised her he would "put a little love in for IR" which was just like ??? (here's a screenshot) So obviously, it wasn't that this random forum person was lying, it was that KuBO lied!!! he BETRAYed us!!! he promised us the ichiruki!!!!!
So that's what's so weird to me, it's not even just that the anime led them on, it's that they genuinely believed Kubo was a die-hard IR stan and that Bleach was clearly all about the """IR fated lovers, story of destiny!!!!""
...Even though he said a long time ago that he didn't want to focus on romance. And then in an interview he gave post-bleach he said: “Given that bleach is not a romance manga, the romance is drawn purely as a supplementary component.”
Bleach is not a romance manga....Romance is supplementary....But yeah, his intentions all along were to make bleach a love story between Ichigo and Rukia. Do you see how strange and hilarious this is?
They truly convinced themselves that this man "shipped" IR and wrote Ichigo and Rukia's characters to be ~~destined fated lovers~~ They would ignore the blatant shipteases and ramped up screentime and romantic hints he wrote for IH. They ignored how he starved IR of content for years, left their development stagnant after the arrancar arc, and greatly decreased their screentime together ever since. It was so clear that IR was doomed to remain platonic. Especially when you remember that Kubo literally shut ichiruki down in an official interview, wayyyy back in 2008, when he said, and I quote, "It’s not friendship but it’s not an amorous feeling either…Despite standing in a close position with each other, it is not romance." And there you have it. A flat-out denial. But they ignored him. They wouldn't listen to him. And then they had the audacity to claim he "betrayed" them.
But given the continuous smackdown he handed them in the final arc, I really don't think he gives a shit lmao.

About the "ichiruki being BFF" debate
Blech fandom is a joke.
(Just some thoughts I wanted to get off my chest. Basically me rambling)
People are calling Ichigo/Rukia just friends or BFF as an attempt of restraining how much they mean to each other while IRs fans are getting triggered every time writing essays as if this is the worst insult ever made.
Like ... seriously ?
Let's be logical. Is it really worth having a debate about ? Is the opinion of fans of sh1tty pairings like RR and IH really relevant ?
I'm not trying to roast them or anything (ok ... maybe a little) but their standards are pretty low : getting this euphoric when their only ship canon validation is porking. All you have to do to invalidate their crap is tearing off the last two pages where the porking products appear and that's it. Nothing to see.
I block / don't interact with anyone of those guys not because I'm a "salty IR fan". Actually I loved Blech much more than IR. And God knows how much I love IR. If anything, I'm more of a Blech salty fan and I don't want to discuss anything related to Blech with people happily dancing on its ashes claiming "they won".
Is the opinion of those who are euphoric about an ending where Yuzzu is molesting her nephew that important ?
People who think a final chapter that ended with a random character yelling "whaaat " has any credibility ?
Or people who can't read crystal clear facts
Juha back : I will come back when you feel happy Ichigo !!
then Akon: wow this is the first time JB reaistu appeared in 10 years.
What about Porking Product Number 2 idolizing Mayuri who killed and tortured innocent souls ? (as mentioned in the hell chapter)
Tumblr media
As for their passive aggressive way of insulting IR fans, let's just set it straight
Rukia and Ichigo trust each other like no other since day 1.
They are each other's salvation from their guilt of not saving their loved ones (Kaien and Masaki)
No one has ever made Rukia happy like Ichigo since Kaien's death and the same with Ichigo since his mother's murder.
When he didn't believe he could defeat his hollow, it's neither Rukia kicking his butt nor her pep talk that gave Ichigo courage. He regained hope when Rukia told him how highly she thinks of him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Rukia trusts Ichigo so much that she has never shown her crying face aka her vulnerabilty to anyone but him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ichigo takes so much pride in being a shinigami because he places high value on Rukia's ideals
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When she thought she was going to die in the SS arc, Ichigo was the reason Rukia cried when she said goodbye because it's Ichigo's existence that brought hope to her life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is no other relationship in this manga that had such a mutual positive impact on each other
Calling them best friends isn't really an insult, if a best friend is someone who helped you have faith in yourself, regain hope, learn from your trauma and move forward.
If that's how they define best friends, then Reji and Orhime are not even worthy of being called their friends at that point
".....w-well a-at least they f***ed !!".
.....RR and IH fans please enjoy your canon to its fullest. Kub0 had granted you the power of being associated with that crap till the end of time. Be blessed by this almighty gift .
Your low self worth is second to none

For Next Time (fic)
Fandom: Bleach
Pairing: IchiRuki
Summary: When I told you… she starts, hesitant, and it is so unlike Rukia that Ichigo jumps from his half-slumber-half-death. Written for @ichirukimonth prompt “things I said that I didn’t mean.” PG rating
When I told you… she starts, hesitant, and it is so unlike Rukia that Ichigo jumps from his half-slumber-half-death. She threads her fingers through his, and if this is what death is supposed to feel like then please God, give him purgatory, give him a hundred deaths just like this one. 
“What?” He rasps, and she shakes her head. It hurts to move, but he frowns. “Rukia, I’m not dead yet.”
“You’re delirious, talking to ghosts. You’re close enough.”
“You’re not a ghost, you’re an angel of death.”
She chuckles. “That sounds much more romantic than what I actually am…”
He wants to tell her no, actually - she is much more deserving than that title. She is the vision that religions are made of, lovelier than light and more haunting than the dark. She is a whole universe that he can span his hands across, and when is he ever going to find someone like her again?
Never. 
Not in this life, anyway. 
Her finger moves up up up to trace the river of his veins, so blue and knobby and old but he isn’t embarrassed. He’s lived a good life, exactly as she wanted for him. He did her proud. 
“...When I told you that… I was happy for you… That there was nothing more that I could’ve hoped for… I lied.” She bows her head, lips pressed in a thin line. 
Idiot. She’s ashamed.
“I hoped… For a lot more. Selfishly, I suppose. I hoped -” She chokes up, looking at the ceiling of the hospital. “I hoped… For more. For you. And me.”
“I know.” If he had more breath, he could tell her all that he hoped for them, too. He could tell her he hoped for sunny days in the park or rainy days in bed; for hours to be spent kissing open-mouthed on a ratty sofa in an apartment that they could call theirs. He hoped, naively, for nights spent soaring through the skies saving souls the way they used to as kids. He hoped to always have her near enough to touch, or embrace, or make love to, or pull to his chest when she needed solace. Perhaps impossibly, he hoped to one day have a family of their own (but with Rukia, the word “impossible” never came to mind). He hoped to show her his world, the sunsets and sunrises and oceans and rivers and cities neither had been to, the world that was just a bit dimmer after she left. 
He clears his throat again, heavy with fluid. He doesn’t have much time. “I know. So… Next time, you gotta promise me.”
She shakes her head. “What next time? Ichigo, I’ll still be married when you come to Soul Society--”
“I’m not coming to Soul Society. I’ll wait at the entrance gate for them as long as I have to until you die.” His vision is hazy, but he locks eyes with her as best as he can. “They’re gonna reincarnate me. And you, Rukia Kuchiki… I’mma find you, when you’re reincarnated here too. I’mma find you, so live your life to the fullest now before you’re stuck with me. Okay?”
“... You’re ridiculous.” She’s wiping her eyes that are not, as she would tell you, filled with tears - but it worked. She’s smiling as she pulls Sode no Shirayuki from her side, positioning it directly to his chest. “All right. I’ll hold you to that.”
As the blade plunges through his soul, Ichigo thinks about how he can’t wait to die again.

I sometimes feel gaslighted by the Bleach fandom and the continuous defending of I//H and seeing posts of us all awful ichirukis and how we apparently sent death threats to Kubo (did that even happen?) and other many terrible things, while everyone ignores the constant harrassment a lot of us suffered. All the terrible comments on fanfiction, the people who stole fanfiction and changed it to I//H, the death threats/death wishes, the racism and homophobia that were so rampant (some IRs are also LGTBQ+)...
It was exhausting and alienated me from the Bleach fandom as a whole.
With every theory I posted, there was some complaining from stalkers.
I just feel sad that people seem to forget that both sides were literally at war and lots of people suffered from bullying so badly they left the fandom entirely.
But I will never forget the way they made me feel each day I opened Tumblr and I saw I had messages of people telling me to kill myself or to just die already.
The way they would criticize me for my fanfiction. If you know me, you know I work hard each time I write. And to see reviews of people hating me for shipping IR instead of comments from other fellow shippers was obnoxious and even heartbreaking.
I'm done with people thinking I was a bad guy for liking IR before Bleach ended and for not liking the canon.
I'm done.
I'm never going to like I//H because of the people I encountered there and who made my fandom experience pretty terrible sometimes.

20 Questions: Writer’s Edition!
Thanks so much for the tag, @blitheringmcgonagall​ and @the-dream-team​! 💙💙💙 I was really hoping to get to do this one lol
***
How many works do you have on AO3
300 (though I’ve yet to post 8 fics from my backlog there)
What’s your total AO3 word count?
1 281 330
How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
Three. SessKag (Inuyasha), Jily (Harry Potter) and IchiRuki (Bleach)
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
If I did the REAL top 5 fics by Kudos it would be all SessKag and my answers overall are very SessKag heavy as is so I went with top 2 SessKag, top 2 Jily and top 1 IchiRuki instead.
1. Life After Loss
This was not the happily ever after Kagome had always dreamt about. This could not be happening to her, not after everything they had gone through... She never knew that her whole world could screech to a complete halt in a blink of an eye.
SessKag, M, Chapter Fic, 98k words
2. Stranger Than Fiction
The books have been all the craze recently, boasting an epic adventure set in the chaos of Sengoku Jidai. Kagome has steered clear from them; she has spent quite enough time dwelling in the past as is. However, when her roommate and a die-hard fan  of the book series laments the latest plot twist, Kagome realises that the accursed books might be hitting even closer to home than she ever suspected. 
SessKag, T, One Shot, 913 words
3. #Jily
Twitter seemed awash with the hashtag Jily. Lily blinked at in confusion, until she realised it was one of those silly couple monikers people had  bestowed on her and Potter. …Though there was a small dissenting crowd following a tweet from Potter’s bandmate Sirius Black: Jily? Hah! More like LAMES. 
Jily, G, One Shot, 2,991 words
4. Much Tweeting About Crushing
James has a hopeless crush on his neighbour and tweets about it, which is fine. Until Evans follows him. 
Jily, T, One Shot, 3,050 words
5. Miscalculation
Rukia planted her elbows on the table and steepled her fingers. “I want my brother to think we’re dating so I can get him off my back.” Ichigo scoffed at her. “That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.” 
IchiRuki, T, Two Shot, 1,820 words
Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
Yes and no? 😅 For a long time I had a policy that I’d reply to comments if I had something more to say than just “thanks”.
Nowadays I reply to nearly every comment I get on AO3. I feel if the people bother to take the time to comment, the least I can do is thank them and I’ve made some friends in the comment section along the years too. But all that said... since I went on my hiatus I haven’t really been replying to my comments on Dokuga much, the clunky reply system there makes it feel like a big hassle which makes it feel draining. 😅
What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
Hmm, Probably either Foil (SK) or Vagary (SK)?
... And I just realised Vagary is another one I never posted on AO3 argh when will the backlog end???
What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
Probably Life After Loss, all things considered. 💙
Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?
I’ve never written proper crossover, i.e. characters from different series interacting but I’ve written crossover fusions i.e. charas from series 1 in the setting of series 2, such as Disney AUs etc.
The craziest one would be probably the SessKag Star Wars AU because I’m not a Star Wars fan and know very little of it but it was requested so... 🙈
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
I got Anon hate at one point from an anti-shipper on my IchiRuki fic on FFnet, it was wild. 🤣
And maybe not as far as hate but the notorious plot twist on Chain of Love (SK) was very much criticised to the point where even years later when I got a comment notification for Chain I would inwardly flinch. 😅
Do you write smut? If so what kind?
I don’t.
I have written and will write a sex scene if the story requires it (most recently in Do I Remind You Of Somewhere You Wanna Be, SK). But they are never explicit in nature, I’m not naming genitals or anything lol. The thing is, if I have to write sex I want to keep it... tasteful, for the lack of a better word. So a term like smut, with connotation to dirtiness would never apply to my writing.
(Back in the day, because I don’t write explicit scenes I did not consider my sex scenes “lemons” either. Which is why I’m still cackling about the fact that Chain once won the 1st place award for a best lemon scene.)
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes, I have. Chain was posted on Wattpad without my knowledge or permission. It is wild having to file a DMCA over a fanfic. 😂
Have you ever had a fic translated?
I have! Some of my SessKag one shots have been translated to Spanish, I believe!
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I’ve tried, with a close IRL friend of mine, but as our attempts never got very far I wouldn’t say I really have. 😅
What’s your all time favorite ship?
Oof, that’s a tough one. Maybe IchiRuki?
What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
Probably the Bodyguard AU (JL) and the Shotgun AU (JL)? I love both of these stories a lot but I’m very much in the beginning with them and both are ideas I’ve had for years yet have never really been able to actively work on?
What are your writing strengths?
Hmm. I feel my writing style leans towards short and simple so it’s easily approachable? I think I’m pretty good with dialogue. Sometimes, I can do a lot with very few words. And I think I’m fairly good at slipping in little details or giving a sense of backstory, even if it’s a short one shot?
What are your writing weaknesses?
I suffer from a perpetual lack of motivation that I try to combat with having a writing routine. I’m slow to update because unless I’m inspired which never happens or am on a deadline crunch I am perfectly comfortable just adding 300-500 words to my WIP and calling it a day. I loathe editing so I rarely do much else than a cursory proofread before posting.
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
My initial thought is why? 😂 I mean I guess I don’t mind but I feel using another language in the fic should be justified and done in moderation. Personally, I probably wouldn’t write dialogue in another language.
What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Okay so the first fic I ever actually wrote/published was a 2nd gen arranged marriage fic for The Belgariad and The Malloreon, my favourite book series growing up. The fic, which fizzled out after 2 or so chapters, was deleted years ago lol
SessKag came second. 😉
What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
*vaguely gestures at the 300+ fics* It’s pretty much impossible to choose among my children but if you put a gun to my head I’ll say Life After Loss.

when did you switch from Coco x Oscar to Coco x Taffy?
ah..,.a while ago!! it was earlier in the story development, i dont remember what exact thing prompted it, or when it was.,.
long story short, the original story had coco together with taffy. when i made oscar and played with the idea of him being a potential love interest for coco, i got lost in the oscoco sauce for a little bit, but eventually, it felt wrong to not let taffy be with her, so i switched back.,.
but its mostly because in every version, taffy is in love with coco. this doesnt change, its a key part of his character and development. in every scenario, theyre close, cuz shes the one who helps him out of it. and i KNOW if coco didnt love taffy, he would never love anyone again. so 1) it broke my DAMN HEART, and 2) it felt like i would be robbing myself/everyone else if i gave them such a close, deep relationship and didnt pair them up (*cough*ichiruki*cough*)
so anyway!! ample apologies to the oscoco stans out there.,..sorry i gave u food for a little bit and then left u to die.,..i hope u can accept the other ships to come out of this,.,,🙇‍♀️
