#like theres more than enough top gintoki fic that i dont feel the need to even bother

What ur top 5 gintama ship ?!

Oh man, oh man, top 5? If it's a Gintoki ship I'm basically in regardless of pairing unless its [redacted] lolol but here's a list of faves,

Mob!Character/Gin

2) Saka/Gin

3) Zura/Gin

4) Hiji/Gin

5) Utsu/Gin

I ranked them in order of which fic I'd open first if it had this ship tagged, vs how easy and enjoyable I'd find it to write.

I did debate about #5 and really if it came down to UtsuGin vs OT3s (GinHijiZura, SakaGinZura). I'd probably read/write the UtsuGin first just because it's simpler and there's a very specific dynamic within the OT3s (or even an OT4 if we wanna throw everyone in there) that I enjoy which is a little complicated.

But also... I don't really sort my fics via ship and usually I struggle to PICK a ship when I'm writing (if I even remember to make it shipped and then usually I end up picking Hijikata for simplicity reasons) because it's less about the pairing and more about the trope for me. Like if Gintoki isn't in that / pairing or isnt the first character listed then I'm not opening the fic. But sometimes I don't even read the tags I just open it if Gintoki's involved (typical, have gotten into some trouble doing this, InfiniteInMystery does not advise not reading tags before opening things in any fandom).

Listen. I'm desperate. I don't care. I will eat it if its Gintoki-centric okay, everything else is just flavours!!! It's like chips, I like all chip flavours, love a few more than is healthy, and there's that one that's just pretty damn mid and I need to be in the mood for it asfdjkhgjksdgf

Thanks for the ask! I just love Gintoki, he can be loved and hated by everyone and I'll be happy!
