SEVEN DEADLY SINS & SEVEN HEAVENLY VIRTUES; featuring BLEACH characters who were paired in direct opposition to one another during the series
You know how in Bleach, when a character’s Reiatsu suddenly makes an appearance, everyone around them reacts?
I like to think that while the Reiatsu has a feeling to it, it also assaults all five senses.
So, here are the Vizards:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rose feels like the very beginning of spring. The scent of fresh roses (much like his namesake), the feeling of the sun on your skin after a long winter, the light breeze in the air-
But beneath that is the frigid nights, the lingering sensation of death being right around the corner. The bloodlust of a battle, the pain and terror that comes with it. The taste of iron bursting in your mouth.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Shinji is the dead of summer, when the cicadas sing and make your eardrums pulse with the sound.
Heat, confusion-
The smell of just /hot/. How asphalt smells, the mirage that builds up from the top that confuses the eye.
Like how it smells when its 100°+ and it hurts to even go outside. It’s uncomfortable and unbearable to be near.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
With Lisa, it’s the scent of Japanese Cherry Blossom- the perfume. A layer of vanilla settles under-
But beneath it gives the impression of rotten flowers, of grave dirt and a cold, bitter wind.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Hiyori is ozone.
Like how those old TV sets felt when you got too close to them?
How your hair stands on end and you get that odd taste in your mouth.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Mashiro is spring time incarnate. Overly sweet, so sweet that it makes you nauseated.
Like when you drink the syrup at the bottom of a snow cone. It makes the back of you jaw hurt, like you ate a sour warhead.
Cotton candy settling over lime and lemon juice.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Kensei is the smell of apple pie and peach cobbler and sweet rolls. Cinnamon sugar. It’s nice, at first. His is harder to sense-
But then it hits you.
When the apples spoil and become bittersweet and the scent makes you gag.
When you bite into a peach and expect sweet only to get /wrong/.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Love is the feeling of a concert at night in the park. It smells like early fall air, that just barely there crispness that tells you fall is coming soon.
Candied applies.
But also-
Decay. Fresh blood, that iron tang that makes your mouth water in that odd way of a warning that bile is coming up.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
And last but not least-
Hachi.
Who is bubblegum sweetness mixed with sour lemon warhead. He, too, is ozone- stronger than Hiyori, though.
That feeling when lightning is about to strike. Electricity singing in the air, making the hair on the back of your neck stand on end.
