Warning: This is just my opinion, not fact, so you don't have to go all persnickety on me. I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just saying why I like, am ambivalent to, or dislike a certain pairing.
I just think it's interesting that I can go from loving a character to absolutely hating a character all because of who she is with.
And to clarify, it's not so much the actual relationship of IchiHime that I oppose, it's the effect Ichigo had on Orihime that makes me despise the pairing.
Oddly enough, Orihime reminds me of Elle Woods from Legally Blonde (more the musical than the movie). Both ladies may be on the ditzy side but they're not stupid. However, when Elle is around Warner her IQ drops twenty points, and similarly, when Orihime is around Ichigo her IQ drops...twenty points.
That's all I'm saying. I know UlquiHime isn't exactly the perfect picture of a "healthy" relationship, but I don't pretend it is. There's definitely some elements of Stockholm Syndrome and a LOT of Lima Syndrome going on. But that's not the reason I ship the pairing: it's because by themselves Ulquiorra and Orihime are...okay, if somewhat blandish, characters, but when they're together? They're WAY more interesting and, in my opinion, more three-dimensional.
And for those three SzayelHime shippers out there, why no SzayelHime in here? Well, the fact that they never met does put a damper on why I canonly like or dislike the pairing, so...yeah. Sorry.
hee hee hee - i like orihime and ishida meself, since they're basically a travelling comedy troupe when they're together (mainly because ishida keeps getting poked out his comfort zone by orihime)

I completely and totally agree with you. I thought I hated Orihime for a while, but then I realized that I just hated her when she was around Ichigo. I love IshiHime/Ulquihime.

I have to agree with you, it sickens me when Orihime is always whining for Kurosaki-kun to save her. *blech* I thought her stay in Las Noches gave her some balls when she slapped Ulquiorra, but when it came to "The Fight" and she started up with the Kurosaki-kun BS it was a major let down. On a lil side note, I like to name certain episodes of Bleach that I have saved on my computer that I prefer to watch over and over. For instance, episode 139 I titled "Come to me Woman". LOL I think we all know why! Episode 159 you ask? Why it's titled "Bitch Slap" of course! LOL
LOL! They are adorable together, though I don't ship them as much as I used to. Still, if they were to end up together in canon, I would definitely not be opposed to it.

Ichigo kinda sucks the character development right out of her.. Dl Which is kinda why I don't like IchiHime--it's a sweet relationship, but Orihime would suffer in terms of C.D. ... When she's not around Ichigo, though, she's great. It was awesome when she slapped Ulqui (even though I love them together XD)

Just as well, actually, given how I'm more of an IchiRukia supporter.
Generally speaking, I tend to reject Orihime almost entirely as a result... but now that I think about it, IshiHime doesn't sound too bad.
cool, theres ulquihime ichihime and ishihime ^_^

LOL! Same with me! I never call those episodes by their real titles, it's always "Come with me, Woman" and "Bitch Slap." xD
