So, it feels pretty weird to be updating this since it's been years since I posted on here actively. I'm not actually much of an anime fan anymore, but I found myself watching old Bleach pairing videos the other day and I was hit by the nostalgia train. I forgot how much I loved HitsuHina, guys. They're so damn cute.

Favorite Bleach ships:

HitsuHina: OMG this is like my favorite pairing EVER. I think they are just the cutest thing, and I get all giddy when I see adorable pictures or read fanfictions. I just think the whole "childhood friends" concept is soooooooo cute, and I think they are meant for each other. When I first started reading the manga and watching the anime, I thought they were pretty cute. For a while I wondered if they were brother and sister, and got depressed thinking they were. It made me sad thinking that they couldn't be together because they were related, but then I found out they weren't. That made me happy all over again. They've really grown on me as a couple, and I find it hard liking other couples as much as I like them.

RenRuki: Again, I like the whole idea of childhood friends becoming lovers. Isn't that the sweetest thing? I know their relationship isn't really like that, but it's fine to dream, right? (2017 opinion: their relationship is totally like that and I actually think it's adorable they got married. I heard a lot of people were shocked, but I think it's damn cute.)

IchiRuki: They're cute, but they're so popular as a couple it's just hard to love them. I don't want to ignore other couples!

UlquiHime: Their relationship is so tragic! I was crying buckets when I read the manga as Ulquiorra... you know. They are my second favorite pairing, and Ulquiorra is my favorite character OF ALL TIME. His relationship with Orihime is anything but normal, but that's what makes it so interesting and dare I say beautiful. Have you ever seen those UlquiHime Titanic pictures floating around the internet? Those describe them so well it's not even funny. Gaaah, I just love em (To my younger self from 2017: have you heard of Stockholm Syndrome????).

IshiHime: This happened to be my favorite couple before I knew about HitsuHina and UlquiHime. I thought Orihime and Uryu were the cutest thing. I still do think they're adorable, but I'm the type of fan who knows Ulquiorra isn't really gone, and that he's coming back to claim Orihime! (Sorry, Uryu!)

GinRan: AGAIN with the childhood friends. These two fit together like a key and a lock. It's sad, really, how everything had to end. *wipes tear from eye*

Other anime ships I used to like:

Zero and Yuki: VAMPIRE KNIGHT Y'ALL. Zero's my lil emo child and my sister and I have had many a heated discussion about who we ship Yuki with. She says Kaname, I say Zero.

Things that make my 21 year old self very happy:
