who did u get that cravat from gintoki??

#gintama #gintoki sakata #kagura gintama #shimura shinpachi #hijigin #ginhiji #i know that technically they got the costumes from some other guy but lemme have my fun #i hate drawing gintoki with his hair back?? that's not my boy i dont know this man #this is for my yaoi friday piece <3

[saotome-michi]

Thinking once again about that ginhiji post on twitter that drew this devastating parallel:

In Bushu, Hijikata met a woman. She loved spicy food. One day, in order to become the Shinsengumi, he had to leave Bushu. When they parted ways for good, he ate her favorite food, complained about the taste, and cried.

In Edo, Hijikata met a man. He loved sweets. One day, in order to keep being the Shinsengumi, he had to leave Edo. When they parted ways, he ate his favorite food, complained about the taste, and laughed.

#like jfc #ginhiji #gintama #and the fact that gintoki was there when he ate the spicy crackers!!!! #that he ate them with him!!!! #gintoki understood what kind of man hijikata was from very early on #and so did mitsuba

Was thinking about the devastation I felt that one time in college when I rounded a corner with excitement thinking they were selling candyfloss only to be greeted by a vape and it suddenly came to me: this but GinHiji

#gintama #銀魂 #ginhiji #hijigin #sakata gintoki #hijikata toushirou #from a more shippy pov it'd be like toshi combining 2 things he loves: smoking and gintoki #gintoki doesnt give a fuck though 'cause where's his freakin sugar #(I was so sad though it was so unfair) #my post

Fandom: Gintama Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Shimura Tae/Yagyuu Kyuubei

Valentine’s Day came and went with little fanfare, because neither Kyuubei nor Otae knew what to do with it. Who was supposed to be The Man in their relationship, anyway? Well, thought Kyuubei, I am clearly the more masculine of us two. I will wait for White Day to roll by, and then I’ll pull some romantic declaration out of my ass that’s so life-changing we get married on the spot. This plan is flawless.  Well, thought Otae, these gender stereotypes are pretty outdated anyway, I wouldn’t want to stick Kyuubei in The Man box against their wishes. The progressive thing to do would be to wait for them to make the first move for White Day and just follow their lead.  Suffice it to say, Kyuubei received zero chocolates on Valentine’s day. Everything went to shit.

It’s mostly rough sketches and panels from the fancomic I was working on, but missed the printing deadline for.

I usually really prefer ships that are like “we have complicated history, we cant live without the other, we are so different but so similar in all things that matter” that i cant explain to you how surprised i am at just how much i like ginhiji (hijikata x gintoki from gintama)

The show itself and most characters (kondou had a whole ass monologue about it during the thorny arc) go to great lengths to empathise just how similar those two are. Their mannerism, behaviour, stories. Insert they are the same picture meme. And they are, really. Not the “two sides of the same coin” NO they basically share everything, from complicated backstory to a found family, even if Gintoki technically had it harder

So you would think they wouldn’t work as a fun pairing. Gintoki has that whole thing with his three bros going on (dont get me started on the whole Takasugi situation), Hijikata also has complicated relationships with his coworkers, surely there are better options? AND YOU WOULD BE WRONG

Somehow nothing beats the way they are so attuned to each other. The way they fight, and in general the way gintama animates fights? Fucking hell. They value the same things in people, so their found families are also similar. They are both so fucking feral and deep into bad coping mechanisms, with Hijikata being a workaholic and Gintoki drinking and blowing momey in casino. Like you would think they dont work, they are so similar there is nothing interesting happening

But they are a comedic duo and both of them are like “surely i cant like that idiot?” They both think they are the only normal person in the room. While thinking the other is insane. Its so fucking good they are so dumb. But they also get each other on such intimate level. I cant

[rueririn]

The gintama experience is seeing a screencap of gintoki holding up a ginhiji doujinshi, and genuinely not knowing if that's an edit or a legit frame from the anime.

#gintama

[okkos-ferrum]

Okay maybe i don't know cuz i skipped the first few eps of gintama but i just watched the 2005 ova AND WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED HOW MUCH GINHIJI IS IN IT IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD

Like them both staring each other down drunk, gintoki protecting hijikata from the mech (so weird seeing katsura being treated like an actual threat lmaoo hes too silly in my eyes now), the two sitting near each other afterwards and smiling AND THEM BOTH PASSED OUT DRUNK TOGETHER LIKE??? OMG WHAT

I need to stop interpurting each time these two butt heads as them abt to kiss

do you have fave gintama fics? can you share with us?

oh right now mainly two immediately come to mind that I keep rereading over and over again (obviously they're ginhiji) and I wish I could tell the authors how insane their fics made me........maybe one day I'll draw fanart.....

but anyways they are:

and

case fics are generally super fun, but I really love how it's done here, the characters are all so well written and funny and the plot is incredibly compelling! there's this one line from one of them that always makes me laugh, where kagura says something like "this is why natural selection left you behind shinpachi, because there's no evolutionary advantage to being glasses." it always makes me crack up

notable mentions areeee

and probably more but I'm a bit sick and my brain is puddy. gintama writers are all so much goddamn fun and I love reading any and every take on how to write the cast!!

#waaaah i think one of my favourite types of gntm fic are also when they do the fourth wall/meta breaks. always incredibly good 👍 #not much else to say other than PLEASE TAKE ALL MY LOVE WRITERS YOU DO THE ABSOLUTE MOST AND I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO ILY #nimki talks

What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care about anymore?

First of all, I got into fandom in my 20s, so anything I was into in my teens was not at obsession level

Which ship would you consider your first one?

???????????????????????????? sudden flash of being really excited about the pink haired girl and that bad guy in tokyo mew mew. deep seated memories of being into takeru/hikari in digimon adventure 2. gambit/rogue from the xmen cartoon oh my god

Your first fanfic was about which couple?

I don't write so read: idk if doujinshi counts here, but the first ship I really started consuming fan content for was ginhiji (gintama)

Do you remember the first couple you saw fanart of?

There's no way I remember that..... scrolling deviantart or whatever, who knows what I saw 😭

Have you ever gotten into ship discourse?

I try to avoid discourse, so no. I get mad at people with bad takes, block, move on

Did you use to have any NOTP or have one currently?

There was this one niche yukio (ao no exorcist) ship that bothered me a lot, but I'm not in that fandom anymore and even if I saw it I wouldn't be as bothered. Otherwise, none currently. I just have meh-TPs

Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read?

heihua ✨✨✨

Currently, do you have any OTPs?

From dmbj I'm actively into heihua, less actively into pingxie, neither of them really at the highest brainrot levels. I think fondly of some of my other ships every once in a while

Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?

uhhhh nothing comes to mind. No wait, queliot (the magicians) lmao

Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?

🤔🤔 I don't think so, I either get the vibe right away or I don't. I can get a better understanding of why people ship them, but that won't make me ship them

Do you have any ship that, in the past, would've been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?

uuuhhh yukishura maybe? even years back people were pointing out the age difference and I know, I know, but their dynamic is still nice even if I probably don't ship them like that anymore. xuexiao isn't from "the past" and it's been cancel worthy from the start lmao

What is your favorite crack ship?

I don't have crack ships, I'm too canon obsessed

What is the couple you read the most fanfics about?

Might be louis/lestat, I only read the books a few years ago and I had to do so much archeology for them!

What do most of your ships usually have in common?

Time to call myself out 💁‍♀️ I like more than one type of dynamic, but there are some elements that a lot of my ships have in common if I put them side by side: it's the "whatever souls are made of, yours and mine are the same (sometimes derogatory)" type of dynamic. I love characters that are complicated and think they're unlovable until they find someone that's Kind Of Like Them. It's even better when on the surface they seem very different, but they can tell they're the same. And the reaction of the two might be to be wary of each other, to antagonize each other, to clown each other, to take refuge in each other. Could be the premise of good enemies to lovers ships, but I usually like lower stakes. ginhiji (gintaka also), buckynat, wenzhou, heihua etc different flavors but I think they have this common thread

I haven't found something clear in common about ships that don't fit the above

What you absolutely hate in a ship?

There are romance tropes I dislike, fandom tropes I dislike, maybe I'm too tired to think of things that annoy me right now even though there are many

happy kuso ginhiji life

not within the usual remit of this blog, but it seems important to be a person yelling on the internet about just how ginhijicore harada's happy kuso life is.

let's get the obvious stuff out of the way: light hair x dark hair, red eyes x blue eyes (at least by gintama anime standards), idiot NEET x proper company man (whose IQ canonically drops when they interact), same age, same (hkl) or matching (gh) birthdays, same height, so similar-looking they're virtually interchangeable (hair colour aside), constantly fighting and engaging in absurd contests they can't bear to lose, both absolute cowards in the face of scary stuff - and as the plot progresses, so obviously but obliviously in love in a way that is unmistakeable to everyone around them, despite their refusal to admit to even getting along.

if you're a ghg person you might appreciate the total reversibility of hkl, too - i suppose harada did write some hg in hanbunko, after all...

anyway, i love how harada's ginhiji DNA shines through in hkl, and how some tropes she tried out in her gh doujin work (plus some from original gintama!) reappear. please consider the following examples.

characters as neighbors! very ochiru, very kurasu especially, down to the getting drunk and boning business

then, once they're living together, the ol' "it's just for convenience's sake and there's definitely nothing between us" play (see kurikaesu)

youngsters do indeed learn the value of life from rhinoceros beetles

oh no, it's kabe!

that chapter speeds through a bunch of porn tropes and also includes a predictably sexually disappointing time-stop segment (battery not included)

hahaha it's literally otoshimon

passing out in a sauna, in honor of that ep 48 tee that just got released (i copped i am fucken stoked)

and don't get me started on how much i love harada's memey faces...

hkl is reskinned ginhiji, QED. ok but facetiousness aside, of course i am looking for gh parallels because i want to see them, but more accurately, i suppose the hkl dynamic just happens to match my ginhiji hc; ymmv. nevertheless, hkl is ridiculous and fantastic and should be more widely consumed (fair warning for rape handled irreverently, but nothing vaguely approaching the peak harada potential for trauma). nobody chooses frames quite like she does.

five volumes have been published so far by takeshobo; english localisations have been digitally handled by renta! (three volumes) and coolmic (four volumes) as happy shitty life, while in print, kuma has localised the first two volumes as happy crappy life.
