so when it comes to magic some of my favorite iterations generally revolve around magic being bound to some sort of figure (gods, demons etc.) and one of my favorite things about bleach was kido because i always imagined that kido came from spiritual beasts and gods.

in fact my favorite webtoon, kubera, has a rather good magic system (but this is just me spreading around the one true gospel that is kubera).

anyways, i've always played around with a thought of a bleach setting focused in the soul society in a feudal era (?). or some sort of era where demons and what not weren't just taken with a grain of sort. and in this setting the shinigami are in their formative years, let's say at the very start.

im talking about a soul society where souls live under gods, in fear of gods, rampant spiritual creatures; basically a lawless world and here come the shinigami. they aren't worried about hollow, about maintaining balance between the worlds, fuck all that its about amassing power and gaining control.

that would essentially be the premise, and the site would be heavily shinigami focused. site events would just be something like monster hunter (not that i know what monster hunter is about bc ive never played) tbh. just shinigami with their zanpaktous against the gods, beasts, hollow and even the odd number of humans.

anyway this is just a setting for bleach that i would like to see (or do myself) because it breaks the mold of a standard au and plays more on the fantasy aspect of the setting. noble houses? nope, rise up and form your own. kido? naaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. go out and seal a beast's move or some shit. love? FOREVER AND EVER, go 4 it.
