Ohhh, I'm downloading this for sure! The lyrics fit them a lot, I think. Plus the covers are gorgeous-- I love the bright blue colors. ♥

Thank you! Figuring out the covers was kind of an accident so I'm glad they wound up looking good!

This fanmix is lovely. The songs are perfect! &hearts

[paperclipchains]

Thank you!

Fantastic picks and gorgeous album covers (double the compliment on the bright, optimistic blues).

I like that you ended this on an ambiguously hopeful note--a parting song but also a promise of reunion. As you say, as a comment on their future and relationship you can interpret it either way.

[paperclipchains]

I gotta say, I'm still holding out hope for a happy or psuedo-happy ending in canon.

I mean, it doesn't look like it will actually happen, but, just... the alternative is too much baww to think about.

[manonlechat]

I'm pretty much resigned to the resolution ripping my heart right out of my chest.

But if Gin does something pseudo-redemptive before the end, it'll count as an almost happy ending for me. And I do think that has a good chance of happening, for Gin and for Tousen.

[paperclipchains]

Yeah, I agree. I have a hard time feeling like Gin and Tosen are going to be with Aizen the whole way through. I don't think the possibility that Gin's a double agent is totally out of the question... but it's probably just as likely that he kills Aizen and becomes the endboss himself, or at least turns on Aizen. Being betrayed by the only underling he seems to trust would certainly work as plot twist/villain comeuppance, so.

I wish they'd finish with the damn fighting and get to telling us what's up with those three anyway! I still want to know what the significance of their fear of death is.

Wow... the lyrics are really fitting (and that graphic is GORGEOUS!) I can't imagine how much time you spent on this XD, but definitely downloading~! Thanks~! :D

[paperclipchains]

It's been in the works for a couple months, but like, hardly steady. I looked for some songs but for the most part I was just waiting to find things that fit well.

Anyway, glad you think it fits!

Downloading as well! The lyrics swayed me, and I love the cover. Thank you for putting this together! It's refreshing to see an FST of them from a different point of view.

[paperclipchains]

Out of curiousity, what point of view have the other mixes you've seen for them come from?

[yuujisou]

Well, where they weren't fatalistic, they focused a lot more on their childhood and, as you mentioned, the bitterness and cruelty that was Gin's defection. There were very few songs that seemed to relate to what they had together, instead of what they lost. If that makes any sense.

[paperclipchains]

It does. Glad I'm filling a gap, then! Hopefully it isn't too generic.
