shouka sonjuku trio & the yorozuya kids (BFY ver.)

aight imma ramble nonsense bc ao3 is still down and my life is nothing but distant memory JSDAHFJDS

we all know how it went: shouyou was taken from his kids, one he permitted himself possibly because he was possibly convinced that they would be safer if they were the farthest from him, seeing as he knew who he has to protect them the most from. it may also be that the vow of change that he took since oboro was too strong that he never thought of retaliation, thinking that in doing so would mean betraying oboro; even when that meant being together with his remaining kids. truth be told, if shouyou wanted to fight; he would've emerged victoriously. the man could take on the entire universe and get whatever he wishes, and yet he yielded. but whatever reason it may be (we weren't given closure on this one :3), it led his students further into the hell he was protecting them from. then he fell, "died" at the very hands of his own precious students. and that ripped them apart, again no closure as to what really pushed them but one could make a few guesses. be it the fact that takasugi and zura couldn't stand that they were to weak and had to let gintoki carry all the burden, or gintoki's guilt eating him alive thinking he took shouyou from zura and takasugi (other shit but that's a whole other fic JSGDJGD) and although eventually zura and gintoki found their way back to each other, rebuilding their bond and forming many others, shouyou's capture and alleged demise brought on far too many scars for anyone to truly recover (especially takasugi). but they try, anyway. zura and gin at least.

then we have kagura and shinpachi in be forever yorozuya, who fell apart because just like his sensei, gintoki disappeared. gintoki had them running in circles after him, desperately trying to find him just like how he, katsura, and takasugi led a war in order to reach shouyou. but when time passed and gintoki's death was easier to accept than whatever helplessness kagura and shinpachi felt, they fell apart as well; went on separate ways and had growing animosity towards each other, the same way gintoki and takasugi (at least) had, albeit lesser than that of the older men.

similarly, both shinpachi and kagura kept a piece of gintoki with them; like how zura and takasugi carried their shouyou-sensei's handwritten text book safely tucked against their chest (i am under the impression [and this is canon to me idc] that both men had never left it off their persons, always carrying it wherever they went to) which eventually shielded them from fatal blows that could've claimed their lives or at least seriously injure them.

and when the end nears shinpachi and kagura came together for gintoki; like what gintoki, zura and takasugi did for shouyou in the latter chapters of the silver soul arc/the final movie.

IT BRINGS ME SO MUCH PAIN THAT I HAVE TO TYPE IT OUT BECAUSE EVERYTIME I REMEMBER THIS PIECE OF PARALLEL OR REWATCH BFY I FEEL LIKE IM GOING TO HAVE A BREAKDOWN

Look at this sick A4 clear folder, I need it urgently in my arms

I've seen a lot of fanart implying Katsura is hiding Blight under his eyepatch and I'm not sure what the implications of it are but I find it fascinating. I still can't believe I'm drawing pictures.

SPYAIR – Genjou Destruction / THE FIRST TAKE

[philosophy-whore]

Prince Mayo looks beautiful in this movie

[gothmoneyswag]

watched be forever yorozuya and have so many thoughts about it but the only thing i can really commit to is that even when i think there’s no way gintama could possibly surprise me again, it always does. most insane franchise ever

perhaps most surprising of all was that i actually liked the movie alot, something i was not expecting given how i tend to feel about anime/series movies

[averagelonelypotato]

I’m all for angst and hurt/comfort but there is no way in hell im going to willingly rewatch Be Forever Yorozuya, that movie is a different type of pain

Happy 9th Year Anniversary Gintama The Movie: The Final Chapter - Be Forever Yorozuya!

[hijitae]

Fic: The Light of a Dying Star

Hijikata was not visiting a loved one. She was not family, and she was not exactly a friend, either. An ally at best; time enough for anything beyond that had passed. Though he hadn’t gone to see her before, Hijikata knew the room number from Sougo, who had visited her once to assess her condition and pass the news onto Kondou. But Kondou still knew nothing, for Sougo had not the heart to tell him that Shimura Tae hovered between life and death at the mercy of the White Plague.

Summary: Set in the Be Forever Yorozuya timeline. 

Before going underground in order to devise a rescue plan for Kondou, Hijikata goes to visit Tae in the hospital for the first and last time.
