Wow, thank you all so much for your feedback. Usually about 80-100 people participate in my useless polls but this last one may have been deemed not so useless after all because at last count, over two hundred people had participated. That’s roughly twenty percent of the membership of
Thank you too for those of you who send private messages of support or took time to leave detailed honest comments in that Bleachness Feedback Day entry. The comments are already scrunched up by LJ’s formatting and I’ve decided not to reply to them all individually but to write this post in response to what I’ve heard from
First, I’m glad to hear that an overwhelming majority of members are here for the discussion and that most members are happy with the character of the community as it is. That’s what I figured even though I’ve always been fully aware of members’ concerns and I’ve always had this or that problem myself with how this community has been developing in the past year.
1. I’m going to clarify the bleachness rules and guidelines to incorporate some of what apparently helped
2. I personally have had no issue with people posting fic and art throughout the week without my prior authorization or blessing, but I have considered that as the community grows, this might get to be a problem or may even change the nature of the comm. Even though other places like
3. None of the mods want to disable anonymous comments. Most of the anonymous posters here have been wonderful, and I’ve made some wonderful personal contacts from people who did not have LJ accounts and who first contacted me via anon post on
Lastly, of all the hundreds of PMs and comments I read this morning (I started at 4 a.m. and wasn’t through by breakfast at 7), this one made me the happiest. If this community changed even one person’s mind about Orihime’s character, I’m all rainbows and sunshine today.
Please feel free to continue to add comments here or to the Bleachness Feedback Day entry about your thoughts and feelings regarding this community and always feel free to contact me,

Rating: This is pretty PG.
Note: I swear I wrote this with the Valentine's Day contest and prompt in mind. So I apologize for the distinct non-Valentine's-ness of the whole thing.
( Yumichika was inconsolable. )
So here I am, watching some dub reruns of Bleach on [adult swim] and Chad is training with Renji in Urahara's basement. Which reminds me of something about Chad that has been mentioned a couple times and makes me wonder if Kubo has more in store for him.
( Chad, what are you up to? )

Question: Are Hollows inherently flawed? And by that, I mean that by their very definition and from their very creation, is there something that has doomed them?
I'm curious partly by my own conclusions from Bleach and partly by a very heartfelt comment from
Goodnight, you poor lonely souls. My heart breaks for you.
These pictures once again make me question the true "righteous" and "good" status of Seiretei and its captains. I already subscribe to the thought that they're more prejudiced and indoctrinated than right, but more and more, Kubo is proving this to me as well.
( whoever you are, what do you think? )
- Do you really think Aizen has Hollow powers? Gin?
- is Hollowification genuinely the way to break the upper limits of shinigami godhood?
- related: if that's the case, should shinigami power up?
- Should Hollows and by extension Espada continue to exist as they are, or should they just learn to be vegetarian?
- Is Zommari right? Is it not okay for Shinigami to "purify" Hollows?
- is there any "right" or "wrong" existence? Is the assumption that Plus souls have it better inherently flawed?
- Is there even any solution other than purifying them all?
and of course...
- How much of this is Soul Society's fault, anyway?
Title: The Thaw
Rating: PG-13 for mild violence
Genre: Family Dysfunction (and a touch of Romance, if you squint)
Length: 4,670 words
Summary: After Aizen's betrayal, Rukia struggles with the weight of Byakuya's promise to Hisana.
( Rukia Kuchiki woke up dead. It wasn't the first time... )
( Let's hear it for extraordinarily depressing pictures! )
Hmm, think she'd like a holographic Ukitake trading card? I have an extra one...
It's Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dream--no, it's Musical!Ichigo (keep clicking to enlarge) drawn by Kubo Tite for Code 003 currently onstage with new numbers and skits and a special Kenpachi/Unohana scene with lyrics by Kubo-sensei himself.
Thank you to Lucia of the BA IchiRuki FC where there are lots of tidbits about the musical to be found.

Looking for an Ichi/Ishi fic called Life's Lessons... I forgot who wrote it, *was it nehalenia?* Anyway, I haven't seen any updates lately and I forgot to tag it in my memories for easy reference... So, HELP!XD
