So.
I’m literally going insane.
I’m teaching myself how to use music software.
I’m trying to find a cheap microphone.
And I’m in the editing process of two fics.
And today, while walking around to buy some clothing, my mind consumed, I found something.
Why that’s a lovely green jacket. Oh and a wine red silk shirt oh how nice. Perfect little Christmas outfit.
No KJ. That’s cosplay you can’t be doing this. YOU CANT GET THE BOOTS TOO NO KJ BACK AWAY YOU CANT DO THIS.
I ignored all internal thoughts. I’ve become too consumed by the fandom. I have a cosplay outfit for Cassandra Dimitrescu.

The Horrors!!!!!!!
This whole saga deserves and will receive B3′s full attention when we find the time, but one of these offerings required a wartime emergency post:
If I have ever wondered what “the horrors” referred to on Tumblr, now I know, and it’s whatever is happening on this plate. The ONLY thing that could possibly make this dish more horrifying to me than it already is at first glance is the description under it because, friends, this may look like a dish prepared in the kitchen of a Teletubby, with a healthy serving of Tubby Custard, but:
this is a meat dish
there are multiple kinds of meat in this
that dark blue gelatin stuff? consommé-flavored
this is a fruit dish
there are oranges and apples hiding in there somewhere
is that sad looking lettuce in the back a version of a Waldorf salad?
From what terrible postwar American military outpost in Japan did Hitsugaya draw inspiration for this mid-century American monstrosity??? With the modern “okay but make it 90s” (e.g. “make it a weird color/channel Flubber”) spin, to boot?
In fairness, it was “inspired by” Hitsugaya, not “created by.” Given his reaction to Orihime’s confections, he probably had no hand in this. But if he were forced into Gotei Iron Chef Teambuilding Day, I could see this either representing “Hitsugaya Team Minimal Effort” or “Hitsugaya Team Underprepared for the Assignment.” You’d think “Team Minimal Effort” would have a slight edge between these possibilities, because would he be interested in Gotei Iron Chef Teambuilding Day? No. But it’s also not has though he hasn’t put maximal effort into things he actively does not care about (e.g. Ikkaku’s Living World Kendou Team), purely by default.
If it’s someone else’s creation, I don’t think Orihime would do him this dirty, because 1) I think Orihime’s confections probably actually taste good, just sound weird, and 2) I think she would take the “inspired by” part of the assignment more seriously, and let what she knows about Hitsugaya guide her creation.
I think Matsumoto absolutely would make this, and that her creative vision would be driven primarily by the fact that Gotei Iron Chef Team building day comes with a budget and you can buy whatever you want with it. Obviously you take the opportunity to sample all the weird stuff. Matsumoto has definitely sat down and read a 1950s “overseas cookbook” cover to cover, and you know she’s been waiting for this opportunity. ACTUALLY, LOL, I know exactly what cookbook she read. This is a c1920s-30s cookbook that’s bilingual English/Japanese, with all-Anglo/American recipes inside. I think this particular one was distributed by a church mission, but there were others that were similar, and developed in Occupied Japan after WWII:
Bottom Line: Have I invented 37 different scenarios where The Horrors gets folded into Bleach canon as I know it? Absolutely. Were I in Japan, would I shell out $14 for The Horrors? Yes, I would eat it. I would eat all of them. I’ve been collecting ingredients for a Matsumoto birthday dinner I planned back in June; of course I would eat the horrible Hitsugaya hand pie. I am your target audience, horrible Hitsugaya CHEESE PIE BOUCHE

I genuinely love this candle symbolism.
For her, it’s been burning. For him, it’s finally igniting.
( And actually his candle is already low and a liiittttle bit lit, implying the love was always there, burning so low as to not be noticed, but surely burning nonetheless 🔥♥️ )
