Since I am all about that 'one line posts with random meme' thing of late. Here goes! Comment with a pairing or character from a fandom I know and I will, like, totally talk about it and stuff.

Either Ishida and Ryuuken or Ishida/Inoue.

I find Ishida and Ryuuken oddly touching.

...uh. This one takes some explanation.

It's bitter. Bitter, bitter, bitter. It seems more than likely Ishida ran away from home at some point in the recent past. It seems Ryuuken is, uh, kinda a dick. It seems Ishida is extremely angry at his father for a number of reasons, the most likely probably being his treatment of his grandfather: who, as we've seen, Ishida loved a heckuvalot.

But at the same time I can't help but take the bastardliness Ryuuken has been expressing as, well, bizarrely protective. I think the key thing is the fact that Souken told Ishida that he wouldn't be able to understand his father's reasoning 'till he was older: I always took that to mean that Ryuuken was a Quincy who had, for whatever reason, given up being a Quincy. I suspect that reason factors very strongly into well...possibly wherever the heck the mother fits into all of this. i.e. Ryuuken lost someone to his profession, gave it up to become a doctor to do his best for the living rather than the dead. Ergo, did his very best to discourage his son from also becoming a Quincy, in order to keep him from making the same mistakes. Ishida is kinda sickly and very psychic: and as it's noted...hollows are attracted to the people who can see them.

So I think the 'one thing' Ishida's father protected wasn't the Pride of the Quincy, it's the life of his family, his son. Which, uh, apparently means making lotsa money and becoming a doctor, young man. But if you have to get this ridiculousness out of your system very well but no more playing with those nasty shinigami children.

Which is something Ishida doesn't yet understand.
