@ Annie:

I was just squeeing with you over this and seeing your post with the IchiRuki goodies listed out so succinctly, its just wow. Magnificent. Abso-fucking-lutely magnificent with a capital M.

I cant believe that anyone residing on this planet and subscribing to earth logic would even deign to bleat about how "wwww so platoooonic yawn" these two are. How can you look at the goodies relentlessly bestowed upon us by Kubo, and utter with a straight face and a clear conscience that a) He doesn't love or ship them and b) They're thrashing about in a sea of platonicness in platonicland on a boat made of platonicwood?

And this new ethereal spread is just the fantabulous icing on an already scrumptious IchiRuki cake. Ichigo and Rukia in fresh and clean white, situated in their own little world, presumably flanked by the feet of their nakama ensconced in colored footwear, which only deigns to highlight our pair even more.

Finally, I love that we only see the nakama's feet, because this spread is strictly about Ichigo and Rukia. So incredibly beautiful.

Thank you so much for loving them as much as you do, Kubo sensei. Just, thank you.
