This Is Also My First Crackship! - Blog Posts
“I can sense your presence, you know… You have quite a wonderful soul, don’t you?”
“This human shouldn’t be able to see me at all… So how did she-…?”
Good day, everyone! I’ve decided to hop back in Tumblr for a sec to introduce a new ship involving my faves: Gentlespiritshipping! I’ll share more details about them below the cut, along with an alternate version of the artwork:
Summary regarding Melami Goldmine: A Master Detective hailing from the WDO (World Detective Organization) who has the Spiritism Forte, which allows her to use her body as a medium in order to channel deceased spirits. Also known to get quite passionate about beautiful, heartwarming clothes and general fashion, her connection to the dead should allow her to sense otherworldly beings, but not fully see them.
(From Master Detective Archives: Rain Code)
Summary regarding Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck: A high-tier Arrancar spirit who used to serve Sosuke Aizen in Hueco Mundo, once ranked as the third strongest Espada out of the Arrancar Army. Also known as a dutiful warrior who prefers to avoid unreasonable fights, her signature move is Cero Doble, which allows her to absorb energy-based attacks through her mouth and redirect them with greater force.
(From Bleach)
So, why did I start shipping two characters from entirely different series? Because they’re my faves, that’s why! I only recently got into Bleach thanks to Rebirth of Souls, but it was enough to get me hooked on its overall premise, with Nelliel easily being my favorite character! I’m still in the middle of reading the actual manga, but I still felt the need to start creating material regarding her and Melami together. I feel as though their main dynamic could be a pair of gentle but eccentric women trying to understand each other’s world, with Melami trying to keep her mysterious image by not completely losing it every time Nelliel uses a modern term the wrong way. Canonically our Master Detective shouldn’t be able to see Nelliel in the first place, but idk, I feel that someone like Urahara could solve that problem very easily.
Anyway, here’s both an edit and the alternate version of the artwork above!
To any Bleach fans out there, let me know if there’s anything I got wrong, or if there’s more elements from Bleach I could implement into the ship! I’m proud of creating an entirely-new ship with my favorite characters, so I want to see how far this goes! Thanks for reading and as always, stay safe and take care! Have a nice day! 👋😄
