    I vaguely remember this being a variant gillian that was huge as fuck or something. Probably on the edge of Adjuchas tbh.

    The biggest question I have so far is how will she evolve? Will she become a cocoon-like Hollow or will she skip become a butterfly or maybe a bee. Or better yet she will just get bigger and have all her expectations go down the drain with her hopes.

    I'm not a fan of the canon pairings either, but let's give it time and see how things go. In any case, any sort of romance from Weaver's side is at least three evolutions away.

    I might be writing that idea down. You know, for the future.

    Wow, that last option is savage.

    You could have her dine on Ichigo Rukia for a few seconds somehow causing a sliver of the plot rock to get into Taylor.

    .......Ichigo i dont feel so good........

    Yeah, it kinda is but Weaver is not known for having great fortune so it won't be that much of a surprise she doesn't change forms but more of a let down. Personally, I hope she can become some kind of Pixie/Fairy Princess by the end of her evolution.

    First of this Ishida guy is the responceble for this fuckery so first, find the guy and see what he can do.
    Ask the group if there is someone that they think could help.


    Divide de group in 2, alpha and beta.

    Alpha Weaver, carrot top, Chad, and trigger happy.

    Beta everyone else.

    Bootlady should escort the beta team to somewhere safe, again ask, and then try to reunite with alpha team.

    Alpha team go try and find the Ishida guy.

    If bootlady arrives in time the alpha team will be divided in two:

    Chisel team: Weaver, bootlady and Ishida if they find him.
    This team will be the mobile team, they will chip away at the big guy and serve as a distraction.


    Hammer: Chad, trigger happy, and carrot top.
    This team will stay back until there is an opening and strike with power in weak points (mask, knees, etx)


    Firstly chisel team will engage and attract the attention of the hollow, their priority is to distract weaken and restrict the hollow. Every time there is an opening the hammer team shall strike any weak points available. After each strike the hammer team retreats and the chisel team cover their retreat. Repeat.

    If bootlady doesn't come back:

    The group chal be divided in groups of two (three and two if they find Ishida)

    Alpha 1: Weaver and Carrot top
    Alpha 2: Chad and trigger happy, Ishida if he appears


    Alpha 1 will be engaging with a smaller version of the chisel and hammer tactic and Alpha 2 will try the same but there should always be a priority for the hollow to be focused on Alpha 1.

    In the extra case of reenforcement they should form their own chisel and hammer or be integrated in an existing team.

    From what you remember Gillians are big, slow, powerful, artillery fighters. So you should get close and personal as you have the mobility to avoid any counter attack at that range. Boot Lady is the second strongest non caterpillar person for protection but against a Cero that would only last a second. Over Compensation guy is stronger but have lacks finesse beyond meat clever to the face.

    - First we use Healing Slave and/or Chupavidas Enegy Manipulation to heal up everyone because mobility is key here. One big Cero is bye bye so get a building between you and that Gillan.

    - Second we split up. Trigger happy takes Chado and the non-combatants to some good cover. They need to be wary of opportunistic Hollows that might sneak up on them. Call for help if overwhelmed. Ichigo, the Shinigami without a sword and Boot Lady will be team 2. Weaver will be team 3.

    - Team 2 will get the Gillians attention via hit and run tactics. If Shinigami girl can imobilize it for a second after I have gotten close enough that would be useful otherwise hang back.

    - Fourth Weaver will use hair manipulation then Gorgeous Armor to make a sharp non restrictive covering to that you can poison and protect at the same time.

    - Fifth Weaver will use Punto V to climb and cocoon the Gillan in Mix and Match threads infused with Chupavidas. While scraping our sharpened poisoned hair armor across any exposed skin. Disrupting a potential Cero is priority one, so any attempted charge up is a bite to the face and crotch via Chupavidas.

    - Lastly we are not trying to win we are trying to make staying here not worth the effort, so if big tall explody face wants to leave? Let it go. If it wants to fight till the bitter end we make it more bitter than it dreamed of. Until then we give it hell.

    Man I know I suck at writing fighting scenes. Why do I keep doing this to myself?


    Watching the Gillian rip his way towards reality, I squish the urge to run for the hills and hide in the deepest hole I can find. That won’t do. I'm a brave caterpillar and I’ll be damned if I let this guy have his way with the defenceless and unaware. But still, does it really have to be so big? I don’t think even the Skull-thing was this huge!

    Okay, snap out of it. You can do it. You’ve done way worse, or closely as worse, or almost worse. And you (normally) didn’t do it by panicking and rushing blindly. You did it by making plans and using your brain.

    First thing, my threads are the only surefire tool in my arsenal. Without the benefits of Escalada (which is a beyond last resort tactic as far as I’m concerned), I don’t even know whether my offensive skills will work at all. I sure hope they will, but in the end they haven’t been tested against something like this yet.

    The most blatant problem is that I have nothing to tie him to. The Skull-thing could tear the stupid-ass cheating trees like they weren’t even there, I have no inclination to see what this one can do to buildings. Ha… such a serious situation and I can’t even think of a nickname for this guy to light it up a bit. Let’s pencil that as the second problem.

    I would call him Spiky, but that seems to be the norm with Gillian. Skull-thing was the odd one.

    Anyway, I’ll have to tie him to himself. Can do, that’s how I took down the Mofo, it’s only a bit harder and really. Considering the opponent, what difference does it make to have it a bit harder on top of everything else?

    So yeah, I’ll need distractions, some luck, pepper him with my threads, some more luck, entangle the threads that actually stick so it’s movements are limited, even more luck and more distractions, coat my webs with as much offensive power as I can manage, then pray to all Gods in Heaven because that’s where things get interesting.

    And for Hell’s sake, somebody has to take the twins to safety.

    Plan formed, I’m about to start the tested and true strategy of barking orders without giving anyone time to wonder whether I have any right to it or not when I notice the baby shinigami charging alone towards the Gillian. By foot. A japanese teenager of average japanese height, running down the street to meet a monster towering over the buildings. It looks every bit as ridiculous as it sounds.

    Right, not dealing with that, Disparo Demora!

    Sticking a thread to the neck of his black kimono, I pull him back right in time to save him from being kicked by a foot the size of a car. While he stands back up, sputtering something in indignation, I turn towards the group.

    “Does he usually charge off blindly like that?”

    “All the time.” The powerless shinigami immediately deadpans.
    “Ichi-nii has a lot of good points, but thinking things through isn’t one of them.” Karin smirks.
    “I think that’s one of Kurosaki-kun’s good points, though?” Trigger-happy adds
    “Un.” Boot-la— wait, that was Chad. Man they sound the same.
    “That’s what makes him so fun to bait.” The pervert concludes with a sagely nod.

    The poor baby shinigami looks like he’s been repeatedly stabbed. Let this be a lesson, boys and girls, honesty can hurt too.

    “Alright, I have a plan to deal with the Big Oaf” ...Oooooh, that’s a good nickname, I think I’ll keep it. “But first I need the non combatants away and safe. Chad, Trigger-happy, I hate to say this but this fight might be a bit over your heads, can you escort the kids so none of the idiots gets any bright ideas while I’m busy?”

    I’d like to tell them to keep moving too, to make themselves less of a target. But a peek at Tatsuki tells me that’ll be a bad idea. She’s in no shape to be running round.

    “Next, Boot-lady and baby shinigami, I need you to hound him and serve as a distraction. If you see an opening, by all means take it, but for the love of all that’s soft and fluffy, avoid direct confrontation! Play defensive and harass his flanks, we’re not going to finish him in one shot no matter what, so remain mobile. If you’re ground-bound I’ll try to leave non-sticky threads around you can use as springboards and footholds.”

    “I don’t like going sneaky like a thief in the dark.” The baby shinigami complains “And stop calling me that!” Oops, talking my mind out loud again.

    “Do you like bashing your head against a wall?” I answer, in my best condescending tone. I don’t think it works all that well, but riling up teenagers is way too easy. “Because that’s what you were doing before.”

    “Whatever. Put those springboard things around then, I can’t jump that high by myself.”

    “Boot-lady probably hits the hardest out of us three, since she’s able to break away from my threads. We’ll be counting on you to land decisive hits.” She puts a difficult face at my words, and hesitates a bit before answering.

    “I become stronger the dirtier my boots are, that’s my special power.”

    “...wow, talk about random.” But I can work with that, at least. Better than growing stronger by eating spinach, since there’s no groceries anywhere in sight. “Okay, stay still for a moment… Disparo Demora!

    In a flash, Boot-lady’s boots were totally covered in something that… there’s no way my pride will allow to call ‘silk’ it was a dirty grey colour and had the consistency of gunk. Ironically enough, the effort involved in producing something so crappy-looking was several times higher than normal silk.

    Boot-lady taps the floor a couple of times before nodding my way. I can barely hold a sigh. The things I do for my allies.

    In the meanwhile, the Big Oaf has finished his clumsy arrival, standing in front of us in a way that would look stupid if not for the huge spiritual pressure coming from it. Actually, it still looks stupid, it’s only a very scary stupid.

    A last look around confirms everyone’s position. Chad and Trigger-happy are taking the group of non combatants away, Boot-lady took to the right and is standing on top of a power line and the baby shinigami took to the left, still on the ground but I’ll solve that soon enough.

    Alright, alright… we have a plan. Now let’s see how it goes to hell and how we can salvage the situation afterwards.

    “Very well Big Oaf! Here we come!!”


    I have underestimated the Big Oaf. I have underestimated him a lot. He is slow, but he’s also sturdy. He’s stupid, but he’s also relentless. He’s also big and strong and can shoot fuck-you beams of indiscriminate destruction!

    To think it began so well… At first, the Big Oaf was happy ignoring my Disparo Demora, and opted for chasing around Boot-lady and the baby shinigami… who took my advice at heart and remained mobile. Which basically meant we had him turning around without actually doing anything.

    It was just like spinning a yarn. Around a spindle that crushed buildings everytime one of its attacks missed which, between you and me, was around twice per minute. Damn but this place will look like a war zone by the time the battle ends. Then again, if we don’t win, the whole city will look the same.

    The Big Oaf shrugged off both Punto Veneno and Chupavidas as if it wasn’t even there. I was prepared for the possibility, but it still hurts my pride. Boot-lady’s kicks appeared to have some effect, at least, but nothing to write home about. Same with the baby shinigami.

    The only consolation was the ever thicker layer of silk threads slowly forming around its huge form. It was only a matter of time for us to completely pin it down.

    When it happened, and in a display of coordination neither of them had shown before, baby shinigami tripped the Big Oaf right as Boot-lady kicked it’s head from the other side. It… wasn’t a gentle kick.

    Big Oaf fell to the ground, nose first, and it looked incapable of getting free. I was already rubbing my hands at the incoming feast when the world seemingly turned red and… exploded. The force sent me towards a conveniently placed caterpillar-shaped indentation in a wall and raised a cloud of dust and debris that obscured my vision.

    When the dust settles down and I can see again, the Big Oaf is standing again and my threads are nowhere to be found. My partners in crime don’t seem to have fared much better than me, still standing around the Gillian but looking like a truck just ran them over. Damnit but Cero is a cheat. A hax that has no place existing in the arsonal of something so dumb.

    … I’m not jealous damnit! I’ll be able to shoot my own Cero too, someday!!

    At least the Big Oaf is no longer unscathed. It’s cloth is in tatters and the mask is showing some cracks around the mouth. Guess taking a Cero in the face in no joke, even if you shoot it yourself.

    But the problem is… we’re back at square one, tactically speaking. Only we’re now battered and bruised, and the Big Oaf is just bruised. Our strategy relies on a lot of mobility and patience on our parts to keep it backfooted, it would be a miracle if nobody broke anything and we’re clearly in no condition to play keep-away anymore.

    I’m seriously considering a frontal assault (for lack of better options) when a hail of blue energy projectiles assault the Big Oaf.

    “Bit more than you can chew, shinigami?

    There’s a glasses-wearing guy wielding a bow and sporting an insufferable attitude on top of one of the nearest still intact buildings. Reinforcements was the last thing I was expecting today, not that I’m complaining. Moreover there’s something… spicy about his presence. He should be useful in a fight.

    “Ishida you bastard” The baby shinigami answers, turning towards the newcomer with a stormy expression. Looks like he survived the blast more or less intact, after all. “This is all your fault to begin with!”

    “The Hollow Bait isn’t capable of causing this.” He defends. “I accept no responsibility for it.” Oh, so this is that guy I’ll have to do painful things to… later, of course. For now the Big Oaf is more important.

    “Not the time!” I cry out instead of surrendering to my baser instincts, making sure to remember his face all the same. “We’re trying to keep it distracted so he doesn’t leave the area! Keep moving and attack only when he’s paying attention to someone else! If he tries to Cero our asses again...” Well, I have an idea, let’s hope it works. “If he tries Cero again, get away and leave it to me!”

    There, cool, confident and in control. Man I look like the perfect heroic leader. If only I could also feel like one that would be nice.

    “I don’t take orders from a Hollow!” Glasses bastard bitches.

    “Fight now, bitch later!” Baby shinigami retorts.

    “I am not bitching!” Defends the Glasses Bitch

    “It sure sounds like bitching to me!” … Seriously, don’t they have any sense of urgency?

    “Whatever, let’s focus on the Menos.” Wow, that’s the first time Boot-lady speaks since we arrived here! Looks like I’m not the only one tired with their antics.

    Once more into the breach I guess…


    We… we are done for. To be fair, we held our own for a long while, all things considered.

    Stupid Big Oaf seems impervious to everything we throw at it. Boot-lady can make it stagger, but it no longer looks like she can actually break anything, same with baby shinigami. Glasses bitch is almost as effective as a mild shower on the thing. Water at least can pool around and eventually drown it. And me…

    Chupavidas
    doesn’t even tickle him, I stopped trying a while ago, when I noticed I was wasting way more energy than I was taking from him. Punto Veneno was effective before it regenerated the cracks on its mask, but my hair cannot pierce its skin, so it’s a moot point.

    Disparo Demora
    still works but… the Big Oaf has smartened up, apparently. Everytime he gets tangled up, he charges and fires a Cero, forcing me to abort the plan and focus all my efforts on redirecting its ugly mug towards the sky so he doesn’t destroy anything else. Good news, my plan to deal with the Cero works. Bad news, that ruins my threads.

    We’re doing jack-shit to it. I’m pretty sure the exhaustion that comes from firing up his fuck-you laser is actually the only sort of damage the Big Oaf is taking.

    And in time we got tired and sloppy. Glasses bitch is sleeping it off in a glasses bitch-shaped indentation in a wall somewhere in the next block. Baby shinigami finally took that kick in the gut from a foot twice his own size he was apparently destined to and Boot-lady took for me a punch that I was too slow to dodge. At least I managed to tie down it’s hands at the same time.

    Still, I’m the last one standing, and I’m not exactly in tip-top condition either. Honestly, the intelligent choice would be to cut my losses and beat it. No way the Big Oaf can catch me if I don’t want to be caught but…

    Well, there won’t be any Karakura Town left standing if I do that, so not really a choice I can take. Curse my bleeding heart.

    I take a deep breath. This really is the last of the last ditch options, but there’s no other path to victory I can see here. So I prepare for the rush that’s Escalada and let myself sink beneath the unmeasurable pool of power waiting to come out.

    I am the dark lurking down the trenches carved into the depths of the Earth. I am the tyrant Moon pulling the seas on a whim. I am—

    {Unnecessary}

    “Raaaaaaaaaaahh!!!” A defiant roar surprises me, shaking me out of the mental state I was reaching for. “Don’t ignore me, you bastard!!”

    Baby sh— no, Ichigo rushes at the Gillian’s face from inside a pile of rubble as the thing charges at me, his enormous sword shining with eerie light. The Big Oaf tries to turn to face him, but it’s too slow and they’re far too close. With a triumphant shout, Ichigo’s sword sinks on the Menos’ face, causing the first grievous injury on it that’s not self-inflicted.

    Of course he’s immediately sent flying and the Big Oaf shakes himself, but I got my opening.

    “Now I got you!” Before it can regain its balance, I use some conveniently placed threads to launch myself at its ugly face too. “Hair Manipulation!

    My crimson-tipped, poison-dripping, gorgeous hair rushes at the cut wound, sinking on the flesh underneath and digging in. This isn’t just about poisoning anymore. This wound is the only weakness I can exploit and I’ll be damned if I allow it to close back!

    Incapable of simply clawing me away with its hands tied, the Big Oaf shrieks and trashes around, and as much as it hurts to be crushed against ground and buildings like this, there’s something undeniably satisfying in finally dealing damage to the stupid thing. My Gorgeous Armor is protecting me from the worst of it anyway. Heck, even Chupavidas has become somewhat effective now that I don’t have to deal with whatever protective bullshit covers the thing’s exterior.

    It’s working. I feel the Menos slowing down, it’s thrashing around getting weaker and it’s screams losing volume. When it falls against a wall, I know it won’t be thrashing around anymore.

    But then, because fate is a bitch and loves to turn victory into ash in my mouth, the crumbling wall reveals Trigger-happy and Tatsuki, who seems to be doing much better than last time. Looks like she received healing somewhere and talked Trigger-happy into doubling back to… help? I’m sure their intentions were good, but now they’re right in front of a dying animal and that’s something that’s not safe even in the best circumstances.

    Is this how it feels when someone else rushes to do stupid suicidal heroics? Because I don’t like it.

    It all happens as in slow motion. The Gillian’s mouth opens, and it’s neck begins stretching towards the two girls,. I turn to try and get them out of the way, but I’m too slow with my hair still digging on the monster’s flesh. Desperately, I stretch my hair as fast as possible, knowing it won't be enough to push them away in time but seeing no better option.

    Trigger-happy and Tatsuki barely have time to realize what’s going on, their expressions slowly morphing from surprise into horror as they register what’s in front of them. The maw is already closing when I realize my desperate rush will not only accomplish nothing, but put me too in the way of the bite. In the last possible second, as I’m cursing my own powerlessness, the perverted girl appears from nowhere, pushing Trigger-happy out of the way… at the cost of getting caught herself.

    Then darkness comes to claim me.

    As in a dream I see, through the darkness, how the world shifts around me, Karakura Town becoming the Menos Forest. The darkness and the moonlight greet me as if welcoming me back home, and I vaguely realize this is the place I was spirited away from this morning, so long ago. This is Home.

    But I am not me, aren’t I? I’m just a dream in the belly of a monster, and I’ll be damned if I let that monster walk away scot-free. With a last spite-fuelled effort, I use my Thread Manipulation to collapse my Home around it, tying it down like a cockroach in a spiderweb.

    Then darkness can claim me for real, I’m too tired to do anything else.


    You’ve become been devoured by joined the gestalt of a Gillian (Your Status Sheet has been updated with a new picture). This has taken away your ability to control the shared body in any significant way and, in time, might mean the loss of the self. Of course, taking control of the gestalt yourself and emerging as the dominant personality in a similar fashion to the way you took control of the Hollow when this all began is also an option.

    -Your EE has merged with the Gestalt! You gain 854175143EE!!
    -Most of your Powers have improved during the fight!
    -You’ve acquired the Gillian Package!
    --You’ve learnt Cero!
    --You’ve learnt Kūmon!
    --You’ve learnt Negacion!
    --You’ve learnt High-speed Regeneration!
    -Oblivion Compensation! You lose 66385 EE



    During the incoming struggle, your aims will become relevant so… what will you focus on?

    Self.
    Focuses on your own ego. Eases the fight to take control of the gestalt.
    Duty. Focuses on those who fell with you. You’ll try to rescue Chizuru and Tatsuki.
    Moon. Focuses on the calming light of the Moon. You’ll be gifted with answers.
    Oblivion. Focuses on the Abyss chipping away your very existence. Your will to fight weakens, but something good might come from it.


    [X][Focus] Self.
    [X][Focus] Duty.
    [X][Focus] Moon.
    [X][Focus] Oblivion.

    They came back to try to help it was monumentally stupid but noble in it's own way and besides with your help maybe they won't be mindless idiots like the other hollow and if you can figure out how to expel them like the skull Gillian did and make them their own hollows you can have friends/minions in this place you call home.

    You may have failed to save two of your number but you will pull them into the light of the Moon that has always been kind to you.
