*squirts spray bottle*

Now be a good dog and stay on your lane!

Or go bother some other popular ship.

[mapleandwave]

YES

I’ve read more than ten lifetime’s worth of slander about my ship but people seem to not understand that’s literally the lifeblood of all content creators. 

The more you criticize, the more I will write. 

The more I write, the more I inspire other fans to create. 

The more that other fans create, more shippers will be converted. 

More shippers means the ship will become more popular or noticed. 

I’ve reached more people by writing fanfiction than writing slander for other… I guess… “popular ships”, so I highly suggest that if you’re frustrated by the popularity of a ship, put your energy into content creation.

Top 5 GinTsu moments?

I don't believe I'm alone in saying this, but it's when he says to Tsukuyo in Lesson 493, "If it's what you want, I don't mind being yours and yours alone." It signifies that he sees her in a way that is not friendship, and the fact that Sorachi added those last two words signified authorial intent that Tsukuyo is someone Gintoki is interested in romantically, and not platonically. Even though a lot of fans argue "he was under the drug!" none of them ever explain fully why Sorachi felt the need to draw or write this line in the first place. Fact is, it wasn't necessary to the plot but Sorachi really went out of his way to draw mc-kun confessing to this woman even if he's more of a gag manga series guy - and in a world where Hinata confesses to Naruto and he ignores her confession until like, the very last chapter of the series - it's quite a remarkable that this line exists at all, tbh.

Gintoki telling her, "You have a beautiful face and a clean soul" at the end of Red Spider arc. He admires her inner and outer beauty and that's a wonderful thing to see in any ship dynamic. We know Tsukuyo is a beautiful woman, but Gintoki also has the capacity to appreciate her strength and fortitude.

"Get your stinking hands off this woman," Gintoki growling this to Jiraia (RS arc) after stabbing his hand with his bokuto is... hot, lol. To have him being that enraged at a master mistreating his student - I think there was some degree of him self-projecting on her during the whole situation, and consequently it made him very protective of Tsukuyo which is so... sexy, as a ship. This is a woman who protects the whole city of Yoshiwara even if it puts herself at risk, and for once in her life, she can depend on Gintoki to protect her and to be there for her??? GOD. At her lowest moment, being stuck three days in captivity by a narcissistic, twisted, evil father figure who was hell-bent on skinning Tsukuyo's skin and burning everything that she fought for, eventually to be proved that being able to put her faith in something else other than herself was redeemed? Man. Really powerful writing.

Tsukuyo saying, "And someday when that guy gets back, I wanna tell him that. Then I think he'll walk with everyone on tha same path to the future again..." in SSA arc. What a hell of a love interest where she is mature enough to trust that Gintoki is doing the right thing and setting aside her feelings for him for the Greater Good. She says this to the Gintama ladies, and there's a part where they look at her, contemplative, as if they're moved by the capacity of her love for him. Her words are the Serious Part that isn't warped by comedy in that chapter. She asks for nothing from Gintoki except to see him occasionally, and that's a selflessness that I like very much about her. Many people have expectations from Gintoki (paying the rent, paying their salaries, not being so crude, not drinking so much, not being a bum, trying to recruit him into terrorism) but she asks for nothing from him, and I think that's what love is really all about - accepting someone for who they are, and not for what they can do for you.

Tsukuyo saying, "Gintoki... you lost your master?" in Courtesan of a Nation arc. Her facial expression is horrified, as she also understands that burden all too well. And when Sasaki shoots a bullet into Gintoki and she reacts by killing the FUCK out of the Naraku to reach him because she thinks he's going to die... Peak...

Tsukuos and Gintokis Suit?

Hello! I’m back with another (headcanon) fun theory! Today, I want to point out the suit that Gintoki wears in the HDZ48 Arc.

I had this thought at 4 am when I was about to go to sleep, but my eyes flung open when I suddenly had to think of this. 

There’s not much to say.. just look at the screenshots. I really had to ask myself: Is that Tsukuo’s suit?! Why does the suit appear a little too big on Gintoki? And why do they wear the same outfit when Dekobokko Arc is the 51st arc and HDZ48 Arc the 52nd in manga canon? That’s a little sus if you ask me. 

Also their colors are matched so nicely in the HDZ48 Arc

I can imagine her visiting him and ask him if he needs it for his costume collection haha

The Kiseru - Soul Switch Arc

This is a headcanon theory. Do not take this seriously, I’m just thinking about things and try to connect them. 

The issue One thing that always bugs about the soul switch arc is the fact that Hijikata uses a kiseru in Gintoki’s body instead of just his usual brand of mayoboro cigarettes. If he can’t quit smoking for that time while he’s not in his own body, why would he choose to smoke with a kiseru?

- Using something more classy doesn’t change the fact that it could appear weird and out of character to others that Gintoki suddenly started smoking. 

(In other episodes where Gintoki is shown to smoke, he smokes cigarettes btw)

So.. I had the thought that Hijikata might think Gintoki and Tsukuyo are connected in some way. Maybe he thinks she is his girlfriend or just someone he spends a lot of time with. 

So maybe, just maybe he concludes that it would be less suspicious if he uses this instead of cigarettes. 

Where did it come from?  Either, he got out of the appartement and bought it just for this -

or

- it was already in Gintoki’s possession. Stowed away in a drawer or a cupboard and he found it and thought he could use it, cause he already has it and it’s not that suspicious.

Why does Gintoki have a kiseru in his possession? Tsukuyo forgot it at his home when she came over for activities 

I’m sure you remember how Gintoki asked Tsukuyo to give him her Kiseru for lighting up her bombs and she did.

As you can see here already, her kiseru is not just any cheap model, it’s from a brand (Bicchi). 

You can see it more clearly here. She also says this in a later episode and that you can only buy it on the surface. She tells him to buy her a new one of those expensive kiserus if he loses it. Technically it’s not lost, but tbh I wouldn’t use that anymore, so I understand her wanting a new one from him.

It is never actually shown that he bought her one, or the one she’s using after that is a present from him, but what if the kiseru that Hijikata uses is exactly that? The kiseru Gintoki bought but he never actually gave it to her because it’s not a kiseru from the brand she likes. 

He bought it but kept it in his desk because he was scared to give it to her

or she already bought a new one herself because she knew Gintoki was too broke to buy it for her and then he never gave it to her (thank you claymorecut for that last thought)

As you can clearly see here, the kiseru he uses here doesn’t have any branding on it:

Just a little extra: The way he is holding the kiseru here is also how Tsukuyo holds it, but that is because there are different ways to hold it depending on your status and this one is how a samurai holds their kiseru (3, Big thanks to Rhenawedd for including this in her fics). 

That’s it already with this little thought it had. So…what do you think?
