My Wife Is The Coolest. I Turn 30 At The End Of The Month And As An Early Birthday Present She Made Me

Thinking about

“Roxas, was it? You’re pretty good!”

“Heh, well, you ain’t so bad yourself.”

Like, I know it’s literally the only piece of dialogue between Roxas and Ventus in the entirety of Kingdom Hearts

But what makes it special to me is that Roxas doesn’t have any negative feelings towards Ventus, at least not after hearing that complement

You’d think after the events of KH2, he’d feel the need to establish his identity when facing someone who looks exactly like him. But no one treats him any different, no one confuses the two for each other, and better yet the new guy is so freakin pure of heart that he initiates their friendship with a complement

I like that. I hope Roxas and Ventus remain good friends in future games

AHHHHHHHHHH!!! THE MUSIC! THE CHARACTERS!! GANONDORF!!!!! I cannot wait for next month!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Planet Comicon 2024 Haul!!

So this year, we didn’t get as much art as we did last year. For two reasons: 1. We still haven’t hing up all of the art we got last year. 2. My wife and I are currently househunting so there’s not much point in hanging up more art. Anyway, I opted to get figures and other stuff instead!

First up we have figures of Mash Burnedead from Mashle: Magic and Muscles, Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z and, of course, Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach. On top of them is a Mudkip Kirby keychain. My wife got one of Oddish Kirby. Those are our favorite Pokémon. We match!

Next up we have this galaxy cat t-shirt from Tee Turtle. It’s pretty neat. And finally,

This plushie of Porunga from Dragon Ball Z. It’s pretty cool. Hopes for next year (or at least Planet Anime later this year) is to find some Undead Unluck figures. Particularly of Fuuko and Andy. Had a great time.

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!

my little spin on the iconic delicious in dungeon comic, but with my favorite scene from thriller bark

Me: Alright. We’re gonna go to Target, pick up what we need and leave. Absolutely no distractions.

Me upon walking by the electronics: BIG MAN!!!!!!!

Bowser Progress:

WE GOT LEGS! Currently working on the head now.

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.
