Been A While Since I Posted About Work. Recently, We Got More Display Cases And Decided To Dedicate One

If you’re still taking responses for the Stupid Innocuous Bleach Faves, I love that Ichigo reads Shakespeare. Like, he doesn’t just have a casual interest. He went to college to study English Literature and became a translator. The man really likes Shakespeare. And that makes me wonder, what’s Ichigo’s favorite comedy? Favorite tragedy? Historical play? Sonnet? Do he and Orihime look for theaters putting on Shakespeare productions for date nights? (Yes, and they have a great time.) Who does he talk to about Shakespeare? I’d like to think at first he only talks to Chad about it because Chad is a great listener. Then he meets Rukia and gets her into it because she loves drama. After he gets closer with Orihime he starts recommending plays to read: Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Midsummer to start. It makes me wonder what other authors he enjoys. Agatha Christie? Jane Austen? Mark Twain? Who knows? Anyway, I just love that Ichigo is a book nerd. Specifically a Shakespeare nerd.

Stupid Innocuous Best Fave

MAN I wish I knew more about Shakespeare so I could pick out all the plays and sonnets that would be Ichigo's faves! But I've only read the few plays you get through the US public school system (mine were Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer's Night Dream, The Merchant of Venice, one of the King Henry plays, and a truly terrible high school production of Julius Caesar, which was also somehow both a sci-fi AU and a musical) and one quarter of Jacobean Shakespeare in undergrad. BUT I agree with everything you've listed here and all of these headcanons, and want to add one more.

Ichigo's favorite filmic adaptation of Shakespeare is The Merchant of Venice (2004), because Al Pacino, ICHIGO'S FAVORITE ACTOR, plays Shylock, and imho does it absolutely splendidly. He is just so good at speaking Shakespearean English and making it sound fluid and natural:

Granted, I haven't seen this movie in like 15 years, so ymmv, but I would 100% watch it again--both for Al Pacino and for Ichigo!

No one is doing it like Monkey D. Luffy. He’s a god. He’s a wanted criminal. He’s an idiot. He is an impeccable judge of character. He will punch an eight year old in the face. He forgets to mention people who are incredibly important to him. He’s an asexual icon. He has absolutely no marketable skills. He’s a selfish asshole. He has a very strong moral code that he decides entirely in the moment and will never explain to anyone ever.

So I know I don’t post here a ton but if no one hears from me on here for the next few weeks, here’s why:

Full disclosure: I don’t have the game yet. It’s just preloaded on my Switch. But come midnight. Hehe.

I’ve begun my new Christmas tradition of building the cool Lego set that my wife got me. This year it was “The Mighty Bowser” set. I finished the stand Bowser goes on and I’ll finish Bowser tomorrow. My wife is the best. We usually celebrate Christmas with just the two of us a week before actual Christmas because we have, like, three Christmas’ to go to. Her extended family, my immediate family and her immediate family. Should be a fun time.

I always see the dog choking info on here, so here’s what to do if a kitty is choking

My wife and I got a new bed, courtesy of her aunts. It’s a king sized hybrid memory foam/spring bed and it’s only a little over a year old. I have not slept this comfortably in a long time. 🛌😴👍

Just so people in the US know, Hulu will be raising their subscription price next Monday, when Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War premieres. I signed up for the ad plan which is currently $6.99 and will be $7.99 on October 10th. I assume the no ads plan will be similar. I know this isn’t a huge price increase but I still think it’s worth mentioning. So get your free trials while you can.

Me reading Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World: So on a basic level, Fullbringers are actually manipulating the reishi within matter to change the shape and sometimes function of said matter. And Aura can take that to another level by changing matter on an atomic level. Neat. ...Wait, doesn't that just make them alchemists? Like, specifically the kind from Fullmetal Alchemist? ...Probably shouldn't think about it too hard.

Okay, it’s definitely just the way Riruka’s hair is styled but everytime I’ve seen this art of her I think of Hina Chono from Blue Box.

I tried to find a screenshot from the fireworks festival episode since she wears a kimono in that one but had no such luck.
