Ugh. Anyway, that's enough of my whinging bullshit, let's do some memes! Robbed from chibimarchy and Evil Insane Monkey.

• Drop any ‘ship from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about in the comments. I will rant about aforementioned romantic pairing. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on what it is.
  
  
  
• Give me a character and I’ll break their ass down:
  
  How I feel about this character
  All the people I ship romantically with this character
  My non-romantic OTP for this character
  My unpopular opinion about this character
  One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
  
  
  
• Give me a fandom and I'll tell you:
  
  The first character I fell in love with:
  The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:
  The character everyone else loves that I don't:

Oh my God, how much Bleach is there??

Do people age in the soul society? I'm kind of confused about that, because Rukia and Renji have flashbacks when they're little, then they're older but apparently they've been that age for a hundred years, and the little boy captain was a little boy in his flashbacks and now he's a captain but he's still a little boy.

There is lots and lots and lots of Bleach. Which is good if you like it. :)

Ageing in Soul Society seems to be weird. People seem to advance (slowly, in some cases) to a particular age, then sort of stick there. Maybe it's to do with psychological self-image? Certainly the older Captains have been looking as if they're middle-aged to old for centuries now, and most of the current crop of vice-captains have been looking in their twenties or so for a few decades.

Does it ever explain how consumption boy actually has TB, since he's dead and presumably has a magical ghost body or something?

[incandescens]

Evidence seems to suggest that everyone in Soul Society can catch diseases. And it is actually a medical fact that if you get TB, even though the disease may be cured, you can still end up with permanent lung scarring/damage, which might explain Ukitake's Incurable Cough of Doom.

(It's actually stated elsewhere in canon that he got the TB when he was quite young, and that was why his hair went white early. It's also canon that he writes a children's series for the Seireitei newspaper. I love the Bleach background. :))

(Oh God, what episode is this? I must see Ukitake's children adventure story! You just know it would be wonderful and filled with magical joys)

(Alas, it's given in some of the background material/character books, rather than being in an episode or chapter. Though there is the "everyone goes to the seaside" filler episode where Ukitake shows up in swimming trunks...)

Ah, I knew I had it somewhere. http://unedited.livejournal.com/227062.html - a set of translations of bits from the character book about the various Divisions, which someone did before it was formally translated into English. :)
