Planet Comicon 2024 Haul!!

This is my cat, Ichigo. I realize he is not orange but the color of his fur does look like a shihakusho so the name still fits. He is very cute. That is all.

yet another day of me instantly recognizing junichi suwabe's voice in another anime

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!

Bowser Progress:

WE GOT LEGS! Currently working on the head now.

A Frenchman and some British men go to Egypt

Me earlier today: Hmm, I better find a way to distract myself from the fact that Tears of the Kingdom comes out at midnight so I’m not thinking about it all day. I know! I’ll do some chores!

Proceeds to do every chore available to me including:

Cleaning the litter boxes for the cats.

Taking the recycling to the recycling center.

Three loads of laundry.

Washing the dishes.

Picking up lunch for me, my wife, and our roommate.

Making dinner for me and my wife. (Roommate usually gets home from work late so they usually get their own dinner.)

Man, more big games that I’m heavily anticipating need to come out. I’m way more productive when I need to not think about something.

Oh, also, here’s what we had for dinner. Rice crispy chicken with chicken rice and green beans.

wait.

palkia is water/dragon type.

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.
