Are We Doing This? I think we are
May. 28th, 2019 10:31 am It's the year of our lord 2019 and almost ten years to the day after this post, I finally about 95 percent done with a fic for this ship. I won't lie, part of me is legit scared to post it because of the festering shit hole fandom has turned into over this kind of ship which is why I didn't post this on Tumblr (although I've vauged about the fic itself)
OTOH...is there age discourse to be had in Bleach of all fandoms? There aren't even any consistent aging rules within the universe. In looking up some info I found out Byakuya is somehow closer in age to Hitsugaya than his own Vice-Captain. WTH. And I'm sorry but when all the Soul Reapers are pushing 100+ on the younger end and there's been every combination of Ichigo with half the Seireitei I'm not quibbling about the five year age difference because this human/Shinigami pairing involves one of his sisters. Antis can die mad.
On a related and less salty note, I dipped my toes into the HitsuKarin tags... I'm not the biggest fan of that pairing, but it makes up 80 percent of all Karin centric content so whaddyagunnado, right? But I came across a very interesting trend: namely that in the rare instance that there's ever a spoiler between then, it's always Renji.
Every.
Fucking.
Time.
Even in this fic in which Seireitei is the name of a host club (legitimate one of three AUs in any fandom I've enjoyed, which is more astonishing), Karin's initial choice was "Baboon King" and I died at that host name because dude...come on xD
