User blog:Silver-Haired Seireitou/Fanon Canon Activity: Shoujo S & Mad Surfer

Hello everybody! Happy Halloween! ...Don't worry, this isn't Halloween-themed.

Since we're revisiting the Fanon Canon, and I see everybody slowly picking things up in regards to that, I thought of a small little activity for us to do just to get back into the mindset of many of our Gotei 13 members and whatnot. This is meant just for a little fun.

Now then. There are two distinct Bleach anime songs — one opening and one ending — that I think might be fun to visualize with our own characters on it.

Namely, Opening 10 "Shoujo S" (link for which is here) and Ending 20 "Mad Surfer" (link can be found here).

The first one, Opening 10, basically features all of the Gotei 13 Captains and Lieutenants in specific poses and whatnot. What might be fun for us to do is, consider your own character, and then visualize: what sort of pose or action might they be seen doing in that freeze frame of themselves when the song gets to them? For instance, in the actual opening, you can see Ikkaku holding up his sword and basically... licking it or something? And then there's Kyoraku holding up his sakkat to his face. Mayuri looking suspicious as fuck. Be creative with your description. This is a good way to look back at your Captain and/or Lieutenant's personality and how they fit into the story, and whatnot.

Even the Espada and Quincy characters are welcome to join in! Why couldn't there be a special Espada or Sternritter version of the opening, after all?

Similarly, for Ending 20, there shows the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 side by side with their manifested Zanpakutō spirits. Visualize and write out a brief appearance for what your Zanpakutō spirit might look like, and how they would be posing with their master in the ending scenes. This ties, not only into the Gotei officer's personality, but how they might be seen standing with their sword spirit. Are they appearing all buddy-buddy? Or do they look like they're pissed off at each other? And well, you know, have fun with that.

So below in the comments, write out two parts: one for the Opening 10 depiction, and one for your Ending 20 depiction.

Hope to see everybody participating! --Silver-Haired Seireitou (Dosvidaniya, tovarisch.) 02:34, November 1, 2015 (UTC)
