Kyon-kyon...

Bleach crackity goodness. This plotbunny made me late to work, but it amused me.


“Ichigooooo! Please! You have to, or we won’t be able to compete!”

Kurosaki Ichigo looked down at Orihime’s pleading face, getting a weird internal shiver at seeing it framed in green ribbons instead of those little blue hair pins. She really did look on the verge of tears.

“Kurosaki, Inoue-san is correct. It’s not that great a sacrifice for you—you will need to do almost nothing to your hair or your personality, and I already made your costume. If I have wasted the money I spent on it, I’ll shoot you in the eye.”

Ishida’s glasses glinted evilly as Ichigo whirled to scowl at him. “I’m not wearing your goddamn freak costu—wait, how did you get my measurements?”

The glint grew more profoundly malicious as Ishida pushed up his glasses and smirked. “I have my ways. If you cosplay with us so the Handicrafts Club has an entire matching cosplay group, I might tell you.”

Ichigo could feel his blood pressure spiking as he tried to vaporize Ishida’s twisty little brain from sheer force of glared hatred. He thought he might have managed it, too, if Ishida’s disconcertingly grayish-silver hair hadn’t kept distracting him. Where did you find dye that would do that?

Ichigo’s morbid curiosity about whatever act of stalkerdom Ishida had perpetrated to get his measurements without his knowledge, combined with Orihime’s pouting, combined with the faint, vague guilt he felt from the fact that Ishida had spent money on him chipped away Ichigo’s resolve until it finally crumbled under a particularly poignant sniffle from Orihime. “Fine, I’ll dress up with you for your little geek-fest. No one I know will be there anyway.” I hope. If Keigo sees me like this, I’ll never hear the end of it.

Orihime glomped Ichigo, dropping the two little plushies of a rat and a cat that she had been hugging to her chest. He had to admit, that cute little frilly green dress looked good on her. Ishida held up the costume, having retrieved it from whatever pocket dimension it was that he kept his sewing supplies and his spare capes. Ichigo spotted some last-minute “additions” to the costume, and felt a futile urge to try and salvage some of his dignity.

“I’m not wearing the damn ears!”

“Or the tail?”

“Or the tail, you perverted furry.”

“I spent extra on those. Good fake fur in orange is expensive.”

“I hate you.”

...I love you. So much.
Ichigo would make a good Kyo. and Ishida is Yuki? Good, they'll be in character the entire time. Heeeee.
I did mention that I love you, right?

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

I'm very tempted to make an icon with "Kurosaki Ichigo. Sohma Kyo. Long lost twins?"

^_^

[kaji-ongaku.livejournal.com]

...I would so love you forever if you did.
It'd be so great.
And none of my family would get it, and I could scare them horribly with my cackling.
Muahaha.>3

OMG, that was too perfect! I can just picture Ichikyo... XD

PS: I should probably introduce myself (I hope it's not rude, posting in your journal without first introducing myself elsewhere).

I'm new to Bleach fandom, but in the last week I've already read the first 100 manga chapters and read LJ communities ishi_ichi and bleach_icons for the last 4 months. I'm a huge Ishida fan, so after seeing several posts by you, I thought you would be a good person to get to know.

So hopefully my random introduction isn't totally out of place and you won't mind me friending you. I always love meeting new anime-fan friends!

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you. ^_^

You may actually be ahead of me on manga chapters, due to Dial-Up Girl (aka me) getting a CD full of the sweet, delicious scanslations she'd been promised...each and every chapter 50-100% corrupted to unreadability. After being completely unable to even open one of the chapters, I gave up.

It's always good to meet another Ishida fan. None of my RL friends understand my love for him (plotbunny_tiff squees for Chad, tarvosio fanboys for Rukia and Orihime, but no one loves upon the Ishida as I do. Oh well, more Ishida stuff for me).

I most certainly do not mind you friending me, and I'll friend you back.

Finally, I'm glad you liked the storylet. It was worth being late to work for.

[mellfromva.livejournal.com]

Lol, well originally I was only up to ch. 53, having had only my friend's first 6 books as a source. Luckily I stumbled upon a great scanlation source, http://www.bleachexile.com/ (it's currently down; I can't help but feel somehow responsible for that) from which I read 50 straight chapters over about 8 hours. What can I say? I needed my fix.

Since it went down last night, I was forced to go without (which I'm really not good at doing), until I found Directmanga, which has more information than you could possibly imagine for just about every manga/anime, which to me screams "get it while you can, before they get shut down". Hopefully that won't be the case, but just in case, I've already downloaded through ch 150.

I love the idea of Ishida as Yuki! (Probably because each is my favorite character within their respective stories.) And the Ichigo/Kyo parallels are just too numerous to count, even without the similar hair! And is it just me, or does Orihime remind you of Tohru? I think it's the sweet, helpful, kind brunette-type in them both.

Oh well, I'll shut up now, or else I'm liable to go on all day. I'm just glad to know there are other people out there who love Ishida as much as I do! Again, it's great to meet you! :D

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

Heh heh. Here it is.

[kaji-ongaku.livejournal.com]

*gank* I love you. So much.
I shall have to make you iconses in return. Would you like snarky, or serious, or both, and do you prefer Ishida, Hanatarou, or watari? And no threesomes, PLEASE, IshiHana is the only crack pairing I need.

[kaji-ongaku.livejournal.com]

no one loves upon the Ishida as I do.

Oiiii...What does that make me? His keeper?
Ishida: Well, considering you kidnapped married enslaved me....
Shut up, you.

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

None of the people I know in real life. Frankly, quite a few of them don't even read Bleach (horrors!) and don't understand what I'm squeeing about so loudly. They buy me nice things like Ishida keychains, though, so I forgive them and lend them the graphic novels so they can partake of the awesomeness. I only recently converted Tarvosio to the People's Army of Bleach Lovers, and spent two or three hours discussing nothing but Bleach pairings with him yesterday. We were sitting in the middle of Quizno's, eating and discussing the realistic possibilities of an Ishida/Chad pairing and whether or not they'd be good for each other. It was awesome.

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

Squee! Presentses!

Snarky wins out slightly over serious for me, though I like both. And I love both Watari and Ishida, but I actively collect Ishida icons, so I'll say Ishida.

[mellfromva.livejournal.com]

I was originally converted from another rabid fan, and am now in the process of trying to introduce yet another friend to the wonder of Bleach. It'll be rather difficult, though; she's not even an anime/manga fan. But I believe it's possible; such is the power of the Ichigo/Ishida pairing. Yes.... *delusioned*

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

It is theoretically possible. Everybody's got to have a first series, and Bleach is a good one to start on. I've noticed Bleach is pretty contagious--not as contagious as Firefly (you show someone Firefly, they WILL become fans and go "Why was this show cancelled?" just like the rest of the fandom) but it's decent at spreading itself about. Good luck.

[kaji-ongaku.livejournal.com]

allrighty. I shall get you your icon(s) ASAP. ^^

[kaji-ongaku.livejournal.com]

Yeah..I sorta missed the real-life part, and then felt very,very silly.
My parents have no idea what bleach is about, and I have to use the computer in the living room to watch bleach. It has headphones, so all they hear is me fangirling incoherently over Hanatarou or Ishida every 15 seconds...
But I did manage to convert my brother. He refuses to think about pairings, tho.

We were sitting in the middle of Quizno's, eating and discussing the realistic possibilities of an Ishida/Chad pairing and whether or not they'd be good for each other

...I love you. That's how I make crack pairings. Well, correction, partially how I came up with IshiHana. The other part was Miri-chan's fault.
I like matching personalities. It makes me squee. and Ishida would respond to the whole 'protect/love-me-I'm-helpless-and-CUTE' appearance Hana's got.(he's not actually completely helpless, but that is a rant for another time.)

[kaji-ongaku.livejournal.com]

and there it is. *kicks photoshop* there were going to be more, but it's being a bitch. maybe when it works again.
But, anyway, enjoy~!

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

SQUEE! I lessthanthree you!

[kaji-ongaku.livejournal.com]

Love you too. ^^

This was a cute little ficlet. Work can wait. Fic-age is more important (says the chickie who's been late several times due to said fic-age writing/reading).I've just realized I've been very gauche. Here I am replying willy-nilly in your LJ and didn't even bother to say who I am. My mother did raise me better than this. Apologies. If you have no objections, I'd like to friend you. I'm not usually this forward, but I really like your writing.

I go by the tag Iron Dog pretty much everywhere (forums, AFF, sites etc.) and I too write fanfics. I only recently started watching Bleach (up to episode 29 before the direct DL site I use went down) after wondering what all the commotion was about it. I'm a junkie now. My work wallpaper is currently Bleach (non-yaoi *sigh*). I'm kicking around the idea to use our fav red/orange haired Death God in a fic for a contest. I'm chomping at the bit for said direct DL site to re-upload all the Bleach episodes so I can watch the rest. Don't even get me started on some of my other anime obsessions *cough* YNM, Mirage of Blaze, Weiss*cough*.

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

It's very nice to meet you! Friend away, and I will do the same. ^_^

I also have Bleach wallpaper up, as I have since I started seriously obsessing over the series to a terrifying degree. There's not that much proper Bleach wallpaper kicking about, so sometimes I have to get creative.
