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

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.

Turns out that an Ichi/Ruki friend of mine (one of the few sane ones out there) put my email on the signature site as a practical joke! That's so EVIL! I'm now going to search up some Ichi/Hime hentai doujin to email them to her as a 'thank you'.

I can tolerate Ichi/Ruki as LONG AS THERE'S NO ORIHIME-BASHING! That's what the ones that troll me don't seem to get. Orihime is my main favorite character and seeing her get trashed by most of the fans of that pairing for merely having the misfortune of crushing on Ichigo ticks me off (and a lot of fans of her. Face it. A lot of the people complaining aren't even pro-Ichi/Hime. One of my 'anti' buddies actually obsesses over yaoi and likes Orihime on the side, so NOT ALL people against the 'tards' are crazy about Ichi/Hime.  Most of the people are just fervent fans of either Orihime or Renji himself, not of a specific ship.)

Anyways. Since I'm calmer now, I feel SO MUCH better. And I did indeed sign the petition and told the poor girl requesting  it that though I do like Ichigo and Rukia's friendly bond, I couldn't stand how Orihime was trashed because of it. My exact word were: "I didn't know being an Ichi/Ruki fan made it a requirement to hate Orihime. That's why I no longer support them this heavily"

Frankly, making them cannon or trying to influence Kubo's already set plot, would add more fuel to the ship war. I think it's best if we let out favorite mangaka do HIS OWN THING IN PEACE!
