Ah, Kohaku and Souta aka Sango’s and Kagome’s little brothers. Well, they are not so little anymore, as in this picture Kohaku is 29 and Souta is 27 and are ripped. Moreover, I ship these two as yet another BroTP for life. Ever since I was a young teenager of fourteen, I always knew that these two were meant for each other as really good friends and allies. With Kohaku’s withdrawn, quiet, yet lethal nature, he does act as a complement to Souta’s outgoing, vivacious, yet shy personality almost like Yin and Yang. Plus, if they were to meet, they would end up having a friendship and brotherly bond akin to Ryu and Ken Masters from the Street Fighter franchise, hence the gis that these two have, which are reminiscent of Ryu’s and Ken’s gis with Kohaku’s being forest green and Souta’s being cobalt blue because I thought those colors looked appropriate on them. As these boys come of age, I can envision them getting to know each other and feeling good with each others’ company. Moreover, they would look up to Inuyasha and Ginta as role models, thus establishing a firm bond between these four. Kohaku and Souta would even be trained rigorously in hand-to-hand combat from dodging punches to grappling to incapacitating opponents. Ergo they would even have friendly sparring matches where they would go at it with each other and after every match, they would just chill and hang out like the bros that they are. As they grow older and stronger, they would use the fighting skills they have to take down any monster or demon effortlessly. Kohaku and Souta from Inuyasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi.

Now that we had the gentlemen in the forms of Inuyasha and Ginta, it’s time for their darling wives, Ayame and Shunran, to take center stage. Well, here’s a BroTP, or in this case SisTP pairing, I have been wanting to talk about for the longest time. I know they have not canonically met each other in the anime, but there’s something about the both of them that makes them click in my mind. It could be that they are gorgeous, fiery, redheaded ladies who have plant-based powers and have exciting personalities. It could be the plausibility of a friendship that only exists in fanon. Either way, I think they are platonically made for each other and here’s why. I could see Ayame’s and Shunran’s relationship as sisterly on so many levels. Ayame could essentially be the tough, strong-minded, elegant older sister and Shunran could be the feisty, sparky, perky younger sister. They could be the best and firmest of friends and even though Shunran does tend to get under Ayame’s skin, they would still genuinely care for each other. Plus, it’s absolutely alluring to see two fiery, lovely-looking redheads open up a can of whoop-ass, whether they do capoeira, karate, kung fu or even mixed martial arts. Going to their apparel I decided to let Ayame’s hair down because I can and I always wanted to know how it would look like. I kept their signature flower hair pieces and I gave them Capoeira attire akin to Christie Monteiro from the Tekken franchise. Moreover, I thought Ayame looked absolutely amazing in pine green and Shunran in teal. I hope you enjoyed this piece of fanart and this post. Until then, happy spring everybody! Ayame and Shunran from Inuyasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi.
Ah, Inuyasha and Ginta. While I don’t pair up these two as lovers, I certainly consider them to be my personal BroTP for life. Think about it. Inuyasha’s hotheaded and impulsive nature can certainly mesh well with Ginta’s submissive, placid, and hilarious personality in a brotherly fashion, thus making Inuyasha the tough, strong, rough stud of an older brother to Ginta’s equally strong, handsome, yet gentle and meek younger brother. So, for your viewing pleasure, here are Inuyasha and Ginta getting their pump on for all of you to see. Enjoy! Inuyasha and Ginta from Inuyasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi.
I have a question for you all that I am confident you will know the answer to. What happens when you combine two virile, brawny studs in the forms of Brick and Butch and two tough, sexy babes in the forms of Blossom and Buttercup? You get one of the most badass and most epic quartets not only known to man but also, to some extent, superhero history and even all of Townsville. Ergo, two rough, brawny, studly hunks plus two kickass, tough, fierce ladies equal Townsville’s Strongest Brawling Bruiser Quartet! Here we have Brick and Butch being the absolutely shredded muscle beasts and pillars of unlimited fortitude that they are and showing off their vascular veins, and their babes for life, Blossom and Buttercup, cracking their knuckles with a look of ferocity, fierceness, and determination and preparing themselves to knock out any criminal who dares to cross their paths. Just their presence alone is enough to make anyone quake at the sight of not only Brick’s and Butch’s muscles but also Blossom’s and Buttercup’s toughness and unparalleled combat skills. So, children and all those who are young at heart. Remember. Don’t do any form of crime. Or else these four brawling bruisers will make you do the time in a mega hardcore manner. Brick, Butch, Blossom, and Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken.
Now that the gentlemen had their turn, let’s check out the ladies! For your viewing pleasure here are Team Xtreme’s very own bruiser babes, Blossom the Commander and the Leader and Buttercup the Toughest Fighter. One should never cross swords with these ladies, as they can open up a can of whoop-ass before you can count to ten. For the outfits that I chose for Blossom and Buttercup, I was utterly inspired by fashionbella’s and tearmint’s respective clothing for these babes, as I slightly put my own spin on those outfits and I absolutely enjoyed the outcome of this. So much so, that I want to thank them for being such great inspirations for my love of fanart. The question remains, dear viewers. What happens when you combine such big, strong, muscular bruiser studs like Brick and Butch with equally strong, brave, and tough bruiser babes like Blossom and Buttercup? I think the answer should be obvious, so tune in later. Blossom and Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! For your viewing pleasure, here are Team Xtreme’s brawny warlord and super buff brawler, Brick and Butch, being the great, big pillars of strength that they are. Whether one marvels at their muscles or quakes at the sight of these two manly bruisers, one can never deny their presence.

Three years ago, I caught this production of this rare Puccini opera by the famous tenor, Rolando Villazon, which had such amazing performers like Aurelia Florian as Magda de Civry, Joseph Calleja as Ruggero Lastouc, Alexandra Hutton as Lisette, and Alvaro Zambrano as Prunier.

This is a public service announcement from my four all-time favorite bruisers, Brick, Butch, Blossom, and Buttercup, from Team Xtreme. Brick, Butch, Blossom, and Buttercup: SHUT UP AND GO TO HECK, CRIME! Brick: I bludgeon the fool who dares to murder, assault, and/or batter anyone, male or female! Butch: I go berserk when some dirtbag robs a store, holds up a bank or commits arson! Blossom: I ensure a harsh lesson on pain and punishment to anyone who thrives on corruption, abuse, animal cruelty, shady dealings, and general injustice! Buttercup: And you felonious punks can bet your filthy butts that I will be the one to execute you with a big knuckle sandwich! Brick: So, remember, folks. Butch: No matter how old or how young you are. Blossom: If you do the crime… Buttercup: You will do the time. Brick, Butch, Blossom, and Buttercup (punch the screen): HYAAAH!!! This has been a public service announcement made by the members of Townsville’s very own Team Xtreme. I certainly enjoyed making this piece of work. I figured that the appropriate setting for this would be a brick-walled alleyway and, in terms of the clothing, I gave Brick, Butch, Blossom, and Buttercup their signature color tops as well as matching blue jeans, gray fighting gloves, and white sneakers with their corresponding colors. And for those of you wondering where Boomer and Bubbles are, let’s just say that in this universe Boomer is the director of photography and Bubbles is the producer with the clapboard with these two alternating as directors. Brick, Butch, Blossom, and Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken.
What better way to send off the 2017-2018 Metropolitan Opera House season than with the radio broadcast of Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette starring the dashingly mellifluous Charles Castronovo and the gorgeously alluring Ailyn Pérez. Enjoy the review and let me know your opinions as well.
