If You Don't Like What I Have To Say, Don't Freaking Read This

Why do I say this...? Because I'm sick and tired of people thinking I ship them going off on me. I don't hate or like this pairing, but people like trying to force me to like them. I've just recently got a PM from some delusional little girl that read my Ichi/Ruki drabble saying that she wouldn't review it until I remove the excerpt of Reflection that is supposedly anti-Ichi/Ruki.  This is my reply to her bullshit.

I write whatever I feel like. I like characters, NOT pairings. I don't ship anyone. Here are the characters I like... Ichigo, Tatsuki, Orihime, Tia Harribel, Ulquiorra, Rangiku, Isshin, Ryuken, Karin, Yuzu, Hichigo, Toshiro, Ukitake, Hikakku, Renji, Yoruichi, Urahara, Aizen... Do you see Rukia anywhere in there? No. I like her, but not enough to the point to concentrate all of my fiction on her or harass other authors that aren't crazy about her.

So I WILL not write any more stories on these two. Don't expect me to. That drabble is going to stay that way until the fucking fans of this pairing grow the fuck up and quit bugging people with the whole 'Ichi/Ruki is cannon and everyone that doesn't like them should die!' nonsense. Not everyone has to think the way you do and it pisses me off when people asume that I am another one of the crazy bashing fans into this pairing because of a fucking drabble. Yes, Ichi/Ruki is cute. I would LOVE to write them, but the FANS saying stupid nonsense like this make me almost hate this 'couple'.

If I ever write anything with Rukia in a pairing, she'd either be paired up with Byakuya, Ryuken or some other random male rather than Ichigo because quite frankly I don't want people to stereotype my paring choices into an overused category.

Sorry to anyone offended by this. I used to have Ichi/Ruki in my fanfic poll, but after this I DELETED it. I am not in the mood to have people telling me how much they hate Orihime and asking me to hurt all characters hurting Ichi/Ruki. I am not in the mood for any of this infantile SHIT.

I was getting kind of sick of having girls having rants in my stories or in PMs directed at me. That flamer at my 'Rejection' oneshot was easy to brush aside as just another immature girl picking a fight because she was obviously hurt by my stories. But the PM girl was what finally pissed me off enough to say I WON'T ever do an Ichi/Ruki longfic if this is the bullshit I'm going to have to listen to. I PMed her back and told her and she said I was being stupid, that all I had to do was DELETE the story that offended her pairing and then she would review all of my stories without a problem (sorry but she was the one that sounded stupid by saying that). I mean what kind of person tells you what to write or not write? That's why I called her delusional and she went off yet again saying that I was being a hipocrite even though I had repeatedly told her that I don't ship them or care if they are bashed because of my no-shipping standing in fanfiction. Now I'm really going to turn anti-Ichi/Ruki just to piss them off, that's how far the harassment has gone for me and my reviewers. (they even insult my reviewers, so that's the cherry on top to hate their guts)

So yeah. No Ichi/Rukis from me ever again, EVER. That drabble just brought me trouble. I liked writing them, but people like this almost make me hate this pairing as a writing choice. They've totally sucked out all enjoyment I as a writer can get out of writing their prefered pairing. They honestly have. Besides that, the manga is WAY different than the anime and so far the most seemingly cannon pairing in the manga is Ichi/Hime (not all that crazy about them either, but they can be pretty darned cute together if an author writes them right.) If you don't believe me, read this: orihimelovesichigo.tripod.com/essay1.htm

You aren't supporting your pairing, you are just trashing everyone else that seriously likes it and making the real fans look bad. So intead of starting fights, do yourself a favor and act mature for once by showing a higher tolerance level to fics that don't have your favorite pairing. Don't like, don't read. Most of all, don't like, don't BITCH.

From the immature behavior of Ichi/Ruki hardcore fans (there's a select few that are awesome mature girls, so I can't lump them all together with 'trash'), I'm enclined to believe that they can't see facts for what they are. There's considerably a lot of more fluffy moments between Ichi/Hime than Ichi/Ruki (the most fluff from these two are in the ANIME or in the movies that are just filler that don't have anything to do with the actual storyline. Me being an anime nut hate seeing people twist this shit to 'gain paring proof' when there isn't any official couples in Bleach. As much as I don't like Ichi/Hime, I'd have to admit that I wouldn't be surprised if Tite Kubo left them together.)

That's why I think this battle is pretty much pointless. TITE KUBO decides who stays with who or there even is a pairing! Sheesh! Until then, all there can be for now are assumptions, fanfiction, and immature bitches trying to shove their alleged cannon pairing down our throats. In fact, the anime now is in a moment that has Orihime getting some alone time with Ichigo without Rukia around. I bet a lot of you people haven't gotten that far, so I'll just leave it as that.

Don't favor Ichi/Ruki, don't hate either of them as characters, but I just don't see the point in always hooking them up and starting fights about it.

1. If you compare Rukia's interaction with Ichigo you'd see its not that different from her friendship with Renji. Its almost IDENTICAL. So saying that their socalled chemistry makes them cannon is the biggest load of bullshit you can tell me. I've seen anime and mangas that have main male and female characters NOT HOOKING UP EVER. So that argument is not valid either.

2. Compare the MANGA to the ANIME. Remember that TV changes a lot of things. In fact the anime is more Ichi/Ruki friendly when in fact, ALL OF THE FACTS are in the original manga that the anime came from, people! There's not that HEAVY a chemistry between them. They usually have tons of comic relief and arguments. The fluffy moments are more Ichi/Hime than anything else in the manga. So read it and shut the fuck up because I do go on sites to buy manga and do follow them.

3. "More than friends, less than lovers." That doesn't mean jackshit! If you are into reading riddles, you'd see that means "They're so close they're like brother and sister" I have siblings and I love them more than friends, but I don't fucking jump in the sack with them because that's just disgusting. I bet you can use that wording afore mentioned for Rukia's friendship with Renji as well.

4. Because Orihime is ditzy, doesn't mean Rukia doesn't have her 'duh' moments. So saying that Ichi/Ruki are cannon because Orihime is dumb makes you also pretty fucking stupid.

5. I USED to only read fics on these two and I stopped for 5 reasons: 1. The character bashing got on my nerves. I mean whenever I saw insults hurled at Orihime, instead of them making me laugh or get mad I'd just roll my eyes saying "Here's ANOTHER one of those". 2. The FLUFF. I'm allergic to it and we have to understand that most of the people that ship this pairing are girls too young to even have been fucked so seeing painfully unrealistic lemons and an ocean of typos has made me fearful of reading Ichi/Ruki. 3. TOO MANY STORIES ON THEM. The plots are generally the same, their attitudes are OCC, the love rival is always that 'fat big chested slut Orihime', and they are always having a gaggle worth of fluffy OCC moments that I hate the writer writing such trash. The few fics worth reading on this couple have been written by adults and those are really hard to come by considering all of the 11 year old twats attempting to write M-Rated stories. It's hard to seperate what's crap and what isn't so I just simply don't fucking read it anymore unless someone recs me a story that I 'might like'. 4. The immature authors and their READERS. If you go to an Ichi/Ruki story that has tons of reviews, you'll see that most of the reviews consist of 'THAT'S SO HAWT' or 'ICHI/RUKI 4-EVER!' or 'ICHI/RUKI FTW!' I don't even think most of those fucking people are really reading the stories for good plot or writing style, they only fucking read it because its Ichi/Ruki (saw a recent one that was just awfully OCC and the readers supported it. I mean, I know that there's GOOD Ichi/Rukis out there, but taking 'crap' for low quality because the summary says 'Ichi/Ruki Lemons' really lowers my respect for people that accept such shit.) 5. Some of the authors bash other authors in their stories if they wrote something 'anti-Ichi/Ruki' in their own stories. Reviewers that hunt down 'not Ichi/Ruki friendly' stories to flame them and insult the writer and his/her reviewers. Lets face it, a lot of Ichi/Ruki fans are just agressive and bitchy. Their attitudes alone has made me not support this pairing or want to write for them longterm.

What I DO Support:

Having these two paired up with OTHER PEOPLE. Seriously. Though half Ichi/Rukis are pretty good, the other half are written by immature flame-wielding harassing stalking bitches that can't stand to see people thinking differently than them (I call them Fandom Nazis. This shit is a lot worser than the Kagome/Kikyo war that has THANKFULLY died down considerably which is why I'm starting to eye the Inuyasha section. There's newer better stories unlike the 'Kinkihoe' fics a lot of 13 year olds pro Inu/Kag used to write. Fans DO grow up and so does their writing which is a GREAT thing rather than having chars OCC'ed and hateful just because you can't stand them)

Why am I saying this after clearly writing a drabble on them? Well... The problem ROSE because of that drabble. Apparently an underager (I checked her profile and she's 14) loved it and mistakenly believed I was hardcore Ichi/Ruki. When she went to my profile, ALAS, I had an excerpt from a story that wasn't Ichi/Ruki friendly. She then dared to threaten me in a PM with some childish nonsense about refusing to review because of that other story I had up. She quote "delete that mean story or I swear I won't read anything else you write' . She then tried to convince me of how 'wrong' I was and I told her 'sweetheart... I'm 28, not some other misguided teenager that can't see anything beyond her own ass. I could care less if you review. In fact, I don't want you to review after you have ORDERED me to delete my own work. I write things for EVERYBODY, not just for people that like your pairing. I might write a long Ichi/Ruki in the future, but don't expect me to be doing it because I'm CRAZY for them. I like their stories, like how the work for each other in stories, but I'm not some zombie belonging to the new 'Ichi/Ruki Religion'. So quit pretending you can convert me, an ADULT, into your closed-minded way of thinking. Thanks."

I WAS NICE ABOUT IT! SHEESH! But that shit just SET HER OFF. Then a PM war ensued and I ended up blocking her stupid ass, because youth combined with stupidity gives me an asthma attack.

I. Don't. Hate. Them... I. Only. Hate. The. People. Who. Have. Fucked. The. Fandom. Up. Because. Of. Them.

And most of these people aren't even old enough to think right anyways. I mean, if you go to Adultfanfiction.net, which is full of adults only, you'll see that Ichi/Ruki fics are EXTINCT there. The only site that seems to have them by thousands IS fanfiction.net. You have to realize that as a grown up, you just don't find the comedic relief, arguments and OCC character bashing to be fun anymore. It actually becomes quite boring after a while.
