It's likely that this is the last time I'll post here, and even though the fandom has moved to different places, I want to at least post one more time in this community that I basically grew up in.
Even if this place sinks into the depths of the internet someday, I will never forget it. If any of you oldies happen to check out this place, please contact me! I'd love to reconnect ^^
Thank you, goldberry, for creating this community and the wonderful, positive, safe and fun place to be an IchiRuki fan. I'll never regret the time I spent here and the time I spent making IchiRuki stuffs.
God bless you all and may your future ships become canon :3
For anyone who's looking for where I am, my IchiRuki art (as much as I could find) is in this IchiRuki Anon Tumblr I created.
It was fun for a while... but we've all finally been proven wrong per the the final chapter of the manga. Oh well. I guess I'm glad my interest in Bleach in general diminished, so this wasn't a heart break, but for whatever reason, I just randomly looked around to find where Bleach was at this point and found out the last chapter has Ichigo and Orihime married with a kid 10 years in the future... and Rukia likewise with Renji. At least Rukia made Captain...
I remember, exactly 10 years ago, when a friend of mine introduced me to the series via the Anime. It seemed like Ichigo and Rukia were destined. It also seemed like the series would be really great for a long time. How times have changed...
I still love IchiRuki after all this time. I dug this doujin out of a shop in Akihabara, and scanlated my favourite story from it. It's available here: https://www.mediafire.com/?y6j5zwy99qtf74h and it's sweet and Safe for Work.
Trying to off-set some bad karma by doing this, so I would appreciate it if anyone still around read and enjoyed it.
