Jonathan HorowitzFucking Byakuya. Fucking aloof,cold hearted, silent stoic samurai badass stereotype stock characters. They're always rarely impressed, overpowered, conceited, cocksure, elitist royalty and bored with people's mediocrity. To top it off, everyone is seemingly insignificant and in their way. I love/hate it.

Byakuya Kuchiki

Relationships

Byakuya Kuchiki was the chief antagonist during the Soul Society arc. Following Aizen's emergence into Hueco Mundo, Byakuya is now viewed as a supporting deuteragonist in the series, occasionally assisting the Ryoka whenever necessary. While not as prominent as Kenpachi Zaraki or Tōshirō Hitsugaya, Byakuya has encountered a number of characters in the series, though not nearly as much as Ichigo.
Rukia Kuchiki

Main article: Rukia Kuchiki
Byakuya originally struggled with his feelings for Rukia and his duty as a captain when she was arrested. After his defeat at the hands of Ichigo, Byakuya reconciled, and began to treat Rukia like a sibling. In many situations, those who threaten or even fight Rukia are destined to die if Byakuya is in the area. In his battle with Zommari Leroux, he did not initially use his Shikai, but in his quiet fury immediately released his Bankai. His rage at Zommari for even implying a threat to Rukia causes him to use his Gokei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi formation, a technique so devastating Byakuya himself had to remove himself from the area to not be affected by the attack. After the battle, Zommari says the killing of Hollow by Shinigami is unjust. Byakuya replied he hadn't killed him as a Shinigami; the reason was "because [Zommari] pointed such a dull blade at [his] pride," a reference to Rukia as his honor. Even though his emotions are so deep, Byakuya continues to treat her as coldly as he does to others.
Ichigo Kurosaki

Main article: Ichigo Kurosaki
Byakuya is highly disdainful of Ichigo; he views him as a naughty and rude child who needs a good lesson in manners. On one occasion, he summoned Ichigo to his estate merely to remind him to refer to him in a more formal manner. However, Byakuya does respect his power and fighting spirit, and the fierce will to protect all that is dear to him. He also thinks along the same lines as Ichigo, as when Byakuya was around the same age, he acted in the same manner. It is often implied that Byakuya wishes to take the same actions that Ichigo does, but his sense of duty prevents him from doing so.
Renji Abarai

Main article: Renji Abarai
Byakuya's relationship with Renji on the surface seems only to be a working relationship, however, it much more that that. For most of his life, Renji had been training for one purpose and one purpose only: to surpass his captain. In the Hueco Mundo Arc, Byakuya and Kenpachi are ordered to bring Hitsugaya's vanguard Shinigami team, including Rukia and Renji, back to Soul Society. Despite his threats to use force if necessary to bring them back, he later shows his heart is not in this order by giving them cloaks for the desert of Hueco Mundo, and bends the rules by saying he was merely required to bring them back, not to make sure they stayed. In part this is a show of his support for Ichigo, which he masks by saying "I would be sorry for the state of Hueco Mundo if that idiot was left to his own devices." Byakuya shows his respect for Renji's rising power and iron will, similar to Ichigo's. During the battle that Byakuya initiates to stop Renji from rescuing Rukia, he continually says that Renji's power is inferior to his, comparing their situation to the "fable of the monkey and the moon," a reference to the baboon-like spirit of Renji's sword, and says "Your fangs will never reach me. Ever." However, he rescinds this opinion at the end, when Renji's stubborn last attack ends in Zabimaru shattering on contact with Byakuya. Byakuya responds by removing his scarf and draping over his lieutenant's fallen body, saying, “Congratulations. Very admirable. That time, your fang definitely reached me.” With this, he acknowledges the bond they have and his respect, and leaves.
edit
Appearance in other media

Byakuya is playable in most Bleach video games, many having his Bankai available as well. He has also appeared in every movie released to this date. He has his own Bleach beat collection, "Yozora No Kawa" and "Listen to One Story."
edit
Trivia
His theme song, as chosen by Tite Kubo, is Giovanni Mirabassi's "Je Chante Pour Passer Le Temps."
His Zanpakutō, Senbonzakura, was voted the 5th most popular Zanpakutō in a Bleach poll.
Despite having beautiful handwriting, Byakuya is a terrible artist like Rukia.

Quotes
"That filthy brat will never survive Hueco Mundo if he is left to his own devices."[121]
(To Ichigo Kurosaki)"How slow, even when you're falling down."
(To Zommari Leroux)" "An Arrancar, thinking of himself as an equal to me. That alone, is already a form of pride in itself."
"I have already told you. You and I.. our levels areas distant as the earth from the heavens. Must I spell it out for you? I have discarded my left arm, discarded my left leg. And yet even so... I have not nearly lowered myself to your level."
""Control".. you say. When you stand before me.. that word holds no meaning."
"My actions have nothing to do with Shinigami protocol.. I've rescinded your right to live.. because you aspired to cut my pride.. with such a dull blade."
"When did I claim I would kill you as a Shinigami? The reason why I have killed you is simply because you pointed your blade at my pride."
"Shall I tell you the difference between you and I? It's class. It's like the story of the monkey trying to capture the moon. No matter how he struggles, it's just the moon's reflection on the water he sees. So he only sinks into the water. Time after time, he sinks." (To Renji)
(To Renji) "With your ability, you will find it impossible to make me fall on even one knee."
(To Renji) "Congratulations. Very admirable. That time, your fang definitely reached me."
"Do you enjoy trampling on my pride?"'
"In case you've forgotten, or if perhaps it didn't occur to you, I'll remind you Renji that I, too, have Bankai."
(To Ichigo) "Do not overestimate yourself, Kurosaki Ichigo. There is none amongst the Captains of the Gotei 13 to whom the aid of one such as yourself could be considered significant."

Not that anyone's actually looking at these, but.

More Dragon Age screencaps, including more Zevran pwnage, strange and slightly homoerotic glitches, and one of the devs spending way too much time on the internet.

WARNING: Last image has a spoiler for one possible end of the Dwarven area.

Has anyone been in the MST program (or any education program) in the grad school at New Paltz? I need some general discussion (on fieldwork, advising, classes, workload)  and soothing.

Thanks!

Dragon Age is still amazing. I'm...a pretty good ways into the game. Off to the dwarf area next, that's the last treaty mission I need to do.

Abnormal psych test tomorrow, haven't even begun studying, whoops. I should...do that.

Mm. I'm glad, at least, that I found a good game to throw myself into. Though I think I'm finally starting to get better lately in terms of some things, other things have smacked me in the face and that's...yeah.

Sometimes I just wonder what friendship is really about, and why it seems that every time I love someone, it all goes to hell in some way.

Okay, emoing up the entry, let's move on.

Wtf 2:30am. Okay. I really need to sleep.

upside:
i've been keeping busy and meeting lots of new people,
along with re-igniting fun with old friends.
almost done with all 8 applications.
after i take the GREs im going to look for a bartending job so i wont despise work as much
i wont be here within 10 months.

downside:
everytime i feel like im moving on and over feeling sorry for myself something triggers it.
it feels really awful to know you're not missed in the slightest by someone you spent 5 years with.

its going to take until march or april until i even find out about the schools

i'll still be here for another 10 months.

... i began reading lord of the rings again. so good.

New York City,

I’m coming back in 4 days and I expect every moment to feel like a Phoenix song. See you then.

Love Always, Laura

LOL, Zevran.

"Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Sure, but I get to stare at you luridly as you do so."

"How should I know? I got the impression that it involved sex...but then I get that impression about most everything. Odd, really."

"Now that I've mentioned tying me up in that context, do we have any extra rope lying about?"

Scarves for Men – Casually Royal
March 4, 2007 · 2 Comments


Scarves are a great way for men to accessorize. They look cool with casual clothes and show the wearer has confidence.

It’s also a good way to add some color to your wardrobe.

Pictured above is Andrea Casiraghi, son of Princess Caroline of Monaco, grandson to Grace Kelly. He wears it well.

Here is another view of his scarf as he walks with sister Charlotte.

I met someone who felt the same way, but I remember him more for being strong enough to change. From him I learned that people are more than their mistakes.

Many years ago, an older man that I trusted had inappropriate sexual contact with me. Twelve years of therapy and a suicide attempt later, and I still live with it every day.

A big part of me will forever be defined by the worst thing that ever happened to me.

I remember showing Laura Taylor my polaroids & how she said they were wonderful & how I showed her Laura Kiernan & she said that she was beautiful/+ so beautiful. I felt so good inside when she complimented my photography because really, her opinion always meant a lot if not the most to me cos she really understands comprehends analyzes & appreciates my aesthetic + personal artistic direction stylizations. I also remember Laura (T) telling me to tell Laura (K) that I was in love with her because it is always best to tell someone you love them while you are still in love with them.


I really need to develop & further grow + expand my social network in order to once-again deserve to be amongst the exclusive privileged ranks to be counted as one of her closest friends yet again.
