spent an hour researching how grain trade and farming scenario worked in edo-meiji period japan, also probably learned half the history of rice in china too just for a single fucking paragraph in my ginhiji pre-canon fic...very normal behaviour guys 👍

[whosname]

I'm collecting them. Now it's a triptych

[wordswhisperinthedark]

the way you can see oboro's connection and feelings towards shoyou in courtesan of a nation once you already know their story

[ella390-the-potato]

I swear they're doing this just so they can parody all the anime they couldn't...😄

Everyone Hates Todo Except You

The best part about Todo is that you don’t have to put yandere in front of him because his normal behavior already screams delusional and obsessive.   You cannot convince me that he doesn’t sniff all your things as soon as you’re not looking.  He’s just so intense.  I love this man, need to catch up on jjk.

~1k words. Thank you to whoever requested this and I hope you enjoy!

At the Kyoto branch, nobody really bothers sticking their nose in Todo’s business.  But when there’s an enormous mound of trash bags outside his room that just keeps getting bigger, concerning glances and eyebrow raises no longer cut it.  Normally his antics earn a side eye or two, but lately it’s been a little much, even for him.  At the breakfast table the next day, the girls decide to draw straws to see who has to tell him to move his shit.

“It’s not fair!  Why do I have to do it?”  Miwa groans, cursing her bad luck for the thousandth time.  

“It is fair, you just happened to draw the short straw now go deal with it!  We'll back you up.”  Mai grins, knowing full well she rigged it.

Kasumi Miwa would rather be doing literally anything else at this moment.  She timidly knocks on the door, and says, “Todo?  Could you move all this stuff please?  You’re starting to block the hallway.”

“Yeah I’ll get to it whenever I get the rest of this junk cleaned up.  Don’t worry there’s no food waste so there shouldn’t be any smell.”

“B-but Todo…. It's been almost a week now…”  The only response was the muted sound of shuffling.

Miwa looks back in defeat at her so-called “back up” as they peek from behind the corner.  Their best bet now is to get one of the boys to convince him.  And if they fail it’s straight to Utahime-sensei.  

Todo looks at his room, emptier than it’s ever been.  He knew this was the likeliest outcome.  Takada-chan was a beloved idol, and even if she liked him back (which he thought she might have at some point) there was no way she could be with him.  He knew, but it doesn't mean it hurt any less.  There were years of carefully collected merch, thousands of dollars being stuffed into trash bags to be thrown away.  But instead of the despair he carefully denied for years, he didn’t feel any loss throwing away all the autographed posters and pictures.  No, he had something much better now, someone who could actually be with him in this wretched, boring world.  He had his wonderful, gorgeous, beautiful, perfect in every way girlfriend.  And while you weren’t aware that you were destined to be with him yet, he would make sure you’d know soon.  As soon as he finished purging his space of Takada-chan (it wouldn’t do to have pictures of an old flame) he’d confess.  

A few days later he was tying up the last trash bag, ready to enact his plan.  He asked you to meet him under the largest tree in the forest on the edge of the training field.  Several hypothetical scenarios floated through his mind, and he focused on the one where you’d enthusiastically said you loved him back and then he married you and had many children.  As he neared the confession site, Todo felt yet another arrow go through his heart as you came into view.  I’ll never get tired of seeing her.

“Todo, is everything okay?  What’s up?”  A shiver ran down Todo’s spine, goosebumps rising.  God, even your voice was perfect.

“I love you.  Promise me, y/n.  That we’ll spend the rest of our lives together.”  He got down on one knee like a proposal, looking up at you like a devout follower.

“Todo… I don’t know about the rest of our lives but why don’t we start with a date?  I like you too.”  While you were a bit taken aback by his forwardness, you brush it off as Todo being Todo.  You never disliked his honesty and unabashedness.

“My girlfriend!! I knew you felt the same!”  A single tear ran down Todo’s face.   

Back to the dorms, it wasn’t long before everyone found out and congregated at your room to badger you with questions.  

“Ugh that gorilla?  You guys are dating now?”  Nishimiya asked, firmly believing Todo to be an improper and inadequate boyfriend.  

“I thought he only had eyes for that idol Takado or whatever,” Miwa chimes.

“It’s Takada,” Mai corrects, not able to make eye contact with Nishimiya’s suspicious glance in her direction. 

“We’re dating now!  He just asked me out, and he’s really good to me.” you reply, thinking of how Todo insisted on carrying you back to the dorms, gently setting you down before running off saying he needed to ‘prepare’.  

“You can do way better than Todo, trust us.” The girls all nod in agreement.  However, Todo is outside your room balancing a tray of perfectly cooked lunch and a cold pitcher of water.  

“What are you guys talking about?”  he knows already, but wants to hear them say it to his face.  

“How y/n is too good for the likes of you.”  Mai minces no words for Todo.  With the uncomfortable tension rising, the Kyoto girls hastily make an exit.  

“My love, I made lunch for us.  I know I am not handsome, or come from wealth and a good sorcerer family like some of our classmates.  But I will be devoted.  I will never stray from you, I’d die if you asked me to.”  he says, as he sets the meal on your small desk, pulling out utensils and napkins.  His normal confidence seems to waver a bit, and it seems that not even Todo is immune to worrying about what other people think of him.  

“Todo, don’t worry about what they say and please don’t say you’ll die for me.  I like you a lot, I wouldn’t have accepted your confession if I didn’t.  I also think you’re quite handsome.”  

“You love me back?”  he whispers, kneeling at the edge of your bed, looking up at you.  While it’s a bit too early to tell, Todo’s hopeful, reverent look has you obliging him. 

“I do love you back.”  He embraces you, and you can hear his heartbeat in his bare chest.  It feels good to be loved so wholeheartedly, and you’ll give him all the love you have to repay him.

My thoughts on the Gintama manga logos!!

Idk if somebody has done this before, if so I'll just go sit in a corner I guess. Also can't sleep.

The OG. We all love it. Iconic. Nothing can topple it. Compact, yet vibrant. Catches your attention right away. 10/10

The english translation logo. Doesn't have the same charm, would probably look better without the black background and outline, or if it was at least reduced. However I still believe it's really nice and appreciate that they kept the colors faithful to the japanese logo. Shame Gintama got dropped by Viz.

The french logo. I can't wrap my head around it, but it somehow feels bland? Might be that here the colors aren't as saturated as in the previous ones or that the red outline is thinner. As for the choice of font, it looks like something I would make in Picsart. For me, this is the true neutral.

I fell in love. The Italians are absolutely crazy. Vibrant, faithful colors, the font feels as if it tried to mimic the og's kanji. Compact, yet not as squished as the french one. 10/10. I wish every romanized version looked like this.

+extra points to Star Comics for absolutely speedrunning the Gintama translation (in comparison to other western publishers) and selling shikishi signed by Gorilla-sensei together with the last volume. I am NOT jealous.

The Spanish tried to do something else by having the colors depend on the color of the space background. Honestly feels like a logo for a completely different manga and a worse version of the french one. Also heard that the translation is cringe. They dropped it anyway.

This is the reason why Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon was invented

The Germans took everything that made the Gintama logo so special and beautiful and chucked it out the window. WHERE ARE THE COLORS. And the only thing that's more stretched out than this are Sa-chan's legs for Gintoki. Also this doesn't belong here but there are no chibis on the german spines and this is something I'll never forgive them. The only saving grace is that they are continuing in the translation (a whopping 2 volumes per year).

At the end of the day, this is purely cosmetic and there is a mastapeece of a media hiding inside, but the logos were something I wanted to rant about for some time.

Hello! Could you do a yuta x reader oneshot where reader is a year younger then him and also uses a sword. They are compared to yuta and put down as lesser when going against Kyoto in the goodwill event. So when she meets him she has a rivalry without him knowing. Some rivals to lovers energy. Thank you so much!

Pairing: Yuuta x Reader; request says fem but no pronouns were used to describe reader.

CW: Mini tsunderes; slight Yuuta dragging because reader is jealous. Lol First attempt at Yuuta, let’s goo.

Summary: You meet Okkotsu for the first time. He’s friendly, you on the other hand…

“He looks like the type who got bullied in middle school.”

That’s your first thought upon meeting Okkotsu for the first time. His hair is a bit messy, the disarray obviously from fighting, and his eyes are dark and a little sunken, exhaustion, also obvious to you. The most intimidating thing about him is the tremendous amount of curse energy swirling around him like a thick fog, indicating he definitely had more than enough fire power to earn the reputation that follows him. Yet compared to Gojo, he lacked the flare that you thought all high tier sorcerers were supposed to possess and traded it for gloominess.

Even as he kicks the cursed spirit you were fighting off the broken hilt of his blade, you don’t really feel intimidated by him. It makes you question if this was the same Okkotsu that everyone talks about:

“When I saw another katana-user I got all excited, thinking you’d be like Okkotsu.” The image of that condescending shrug from that thick-headed gorilla known as Todo still haunts you. “But you’re nothing special.”

At least Panda tried to cheer you up after that exchange. “I didn’t know you were a blade-user. It is too bad Yuuta isn’t here. He could probably give you much better training than we could. That’s not to say you don’t know what you’re doing!”

And seeing how average looking he appeared was making you angry and slightly disappointed all over again. This guy is the one who is supposed to be the school’s supreme student?

“Oh, you’re one of sensei’s first years. (Name), right? I didn’t realize the school already stationed someone out here.”

His soft voice easily catches your attention, and it reaffirms your idea that he definitely got bullied in middle school, but what you hadn’t noticed was him getting closer until he was nearly on top of you. Stealthy. “I was assigned to clear the city of remaining curses, but they didn’t tell me that it was a duo mission,” you explain, taking the opportunity to size him up. You didn’t think you could match his cursed energy reserve, but your technique could at least be better.

“I’m not. I noticed a lot of curse energy build up in the area. I’m glad I came to check. You looked like you were in trouble. You’re not hurt, are you?”

You almost make a sarcastic remark, but you’re disarmed by him smiling at you. It’s more innocent and purer than you’re expecting from another sorcerer, and you immediately understand what Panda meant when he claimed that Maki is a little softer around him.

“No, I’m okay. But the area has already been evacuated, and I have the curse situation under control so there’s no need for you to be here,” you tell him, gripping your hand tighter around your sword as you prepare to move to the next city block.

Then, he stops you. “I already killed the remaining curses.”

You freeze in place, your mind flashing with the memories of your assignment and all the curses you’ve taken on since you’ve been here. You had to be out here for at least 2 hours, and he’s saying he finished it all. “All of them?!”

“It really wasn’t that many. Twenty or so. A lot of them were little guys.”

Your jaw must be rusty because it takes three good tries for you to clamp shut your gaping mouth. “I-I see,” you sputter out. “Well, I took the majority anyway. There were three times that when I started.”

“Ah!” He chuckles lightly at you. “I’m sorry to have got in the way then.”

You can’t believe he has the nerve to laugh at you, and you turn to hide your pout. “Just so you know I don’t split mission payment.”

“That’s not a problem, but do you mind if I borrow that? I happened to break mine,” he asks, pointing to the sword latched on your hip. You instinctively clamp your hand around the handle, so tight you can feel the cord burning against your skin. “Please, ma’am. It’d really save me a lot of trouble if I didn’t have to return to the school. I’ll make sure to escort you back to your pickup zone as well.” He folds his hands together, bowing slightly; and though you can’t disagree that something in you likes having the boy you’re always compared to pleading to you or calling you ma’am, your body refuses to hand over the weapon.

“Yes, I mind. You should be more careful with your stuff if you don’t want it breaking, pff, guess your technique isn’t that great after all,” you shrug, and he jerks back slightly at your rejection.

Taken aback, he blushes slightly from embarrassment. “Sorry. Did I do something to make you upset?”

“No, not personally,” you admit quietly, but your conversation is interrupted by the cracking of the ground under your feet. It doesn’t take more than a second to register the cursed energy seeping from the cracking void underneath you. There must have been one hiding all this time.

You duck in Okkotsu’s direction before the ground erupts, revealing a tank-sized scorpion curse. “Looks like you missed one,” you blurt out, and he steps in front of you one hand stretched out in front of your waist to stop you from taking a step forward.

“Stand back,” he instructs and swipes out a katana at his side before moving to take on the curse drilling holes into the ground in front of you.

You scoff as he takes the frontline, as if you were going to stand back and let him do all the work. When you reach for your sword, your fingers grasp nothing but air, and you realize your blade is gone from its scabbard. You search for the familiar glint of steel, only to find the source of your missing blade is non-other than him.

When did he even grab it!

“Hey, you!” you yell out, ignoring the fact that he’s in battle with a curse, not that you think he’d have any trouble judging by the stories; and certainly, you understand now that you would have a lot of catching up to do simply by how easily he takes on the overgrown spirit all by himself.

As soon as the curse spirit fell, you stomp up to him to yank your sword out of his hold while he’s distracted watching the body disappear. “Give me that! Who do you think you are swinging my sword around like that?” you scold, scrutinizing the length of the blade for any knicks. “You, you scratched it!”

He smiles sheepishly, scratching at his cheek to rid himself of the nervous sweat working down the side of his face. “I’m sorry. I’ll be sure to have it repaired.”

“That’s not the point. This is a Grade-1 blade! You can’t pour that much cursed energy into it all willynilly like you did,” you scold with a huff, ignoring his apologies and only stopping when his palm cups your face.

Thinking he was about to pick a fight with you, you brace yourself with an influx of curse energy for protection but it’s only a few seconds for you to register the calm flowing into you.

“Your face is cut up,” he explains, ghosting his thumb over your cheek to swipe away a smear of blood. “Some of the debris from the fight must have hit you.”

“Those are just scratches. Nothing to be concerned about,” you grunt out but it’s not enough to stop him from healing you.

“There. All done,” he says, and you’re momentarily disarmed by that smile again. You guess up close, he’s a bit handsome in a way and the way he handles himself is a bit opposite of the gloomy demeanor you originally predicted. “So, I hate to bring this back up, but—"

Sighing, you suppose you owed him one, at least this once. “You better bring it back in one piece,” you demand, handing the sword off to him.  

“Yes, ma’am.”

I've rewatched gintama for the 6th and I can't believe how much I love this anime.. every time I rewatch it I love the characters more and always watch it with a new eye.. I laughed and cried (especially during the final) so hard😭

sorachi really made a masterpiece, thanks again gorilla sensei🙏

[ginrise]

I'm and I've always been on the verge of opening a petition to let Sorachi sensei let me propose to him. It bothers me that he is out in the world and we're not married lol, am I wrong for that I don't think I am.

Also it may sound creepy to you like I idolize him or something, but it's not idolizing if you know he's your future otto san aaaaaaaaa. Gorilla give me one chance please been begging for years.

100% canonical depiction of the Mika v Saori fight

Which is hilarious because Saori is so dangerous and legitimately threatening for entire chapters

...all the way up until Mika loses her shit towards the end and proceeds to curbstomp her way through Arius while mocking how powerless they are compared to her. She's laughing at them almost the entire time

The only thing that stops her is when she sees Sensei helping Saori and her brain stops working with Does Not Compute with a little bit of despair crying long enough for Squad to subdue her for a bit

... Then she demolishes half a basilica by knocking out a pillar with her bare hands, using the falling rubble to try and separate Sensei from Squad; instead she gets Saori alone and oh, it's fucking go time.

... and Saori gets folded like a lawnchair almost instantly. Most of the cutscene before she drops is deadass just her life flashing before her eyes. She doesn't even get a good hit in. Mika no-sells her for a bit then ends it.

Mika makes them all look so pathetic that it's the final hint before the reveal that she wasn't the one behind everything; if she really wanted to take over Trinity and go genocide Gehenna she really, really would not have needed Arius muscle to do it.

She's just such a ditz that Saori and Beatrice were able to convince her that her honest plan to reconcile Trinity and Arius was about war.

I love the pink gorilla princess.

Happy Birthday Gorilla-sensei <3 

[lea-heartscxiv]

Sakurayashiki Family

It's time to introduce the Sakurayashiki family, a family made up of four members.

Dad Kojiro, Sakurayashiki-sensei (who deep down, even if he's sometimes a little child-phobic, is proud of his little ones) and their two twins.

Little Kentaro and Keiko are a pair of daddy twins. Yes, although it may not seem like it, Kaoru acts as a father when he's alone with Kojiro. However, according to him, he doesn't do it because wants to take care of them but because can't leave his stupid Gorilla alone in those moments. However, when he's alone with his children, also takes good care of them, tho he's so reluctant to admit it that when there's someone else around, ignores the little ones.

Kojiro carries his son Kentaro in his arms.

Kojiro: You know Kaoru, when Kentaro grows up and goes to Los Angeles he can be called Ken, he won't have a problem with the way they pronounce his name. Isn't that great? *thinking out loud*

Kaoru: Stupid Gorilla!!! Why would he want to go so far away??!! - while carrying Keiko in his arms.

Kojiro: Isn't it obvious? He'll want to be a skateboarder like us and go to the birthplace of skateboarding.

Kaoru: And why don't you talk about her?

Kojiro: Because she'll be a daddy's girl, and I'll spoil her a lot.

Kaoru: You think I won't spoil her? Even if I don't let them have Carla, I'll make them a special skateboard for both. Though, I won't let them take too many liberties...

Kojiro: Boys are more mommy's boys, and girls are more daddy's girls. So Kentaro will want to be more detached from us and go more with his friends. But on the other hand Keiko will want to spend more time with us and I will teach her a lot of things, especially how to keep those muscles.

Kaoru: Keiko with gorilla muscles? No, no, no, Keiko will be very good at shodo, she doesn't need so many muscles....

Kojiro: Gorilla muscles...?

She's Keiko and the little sleepyhead is Kentaro. Sometimes Keiko likes to tease her brother Kentaro, like now when he's asleep and she sticks her finger in his ear to tickle him.

By the way, sometimes Kaoru when no one is around, takes Kentaro to the restaurant and puts him behind the bar to talk to him. Yes, he may use him as a "waiter", but will never admit it in front of Kojiro. Of course, it should be noted that Kaoru pours his own drinks.

So far the presentation of Matchablossom family, refresh this as soon there will be the last family.

What are your thoughts on Gill? Do you think he could've been an better enemy for Ron then Monkey Fist if he appeared in more episodes? And lastly, would you have liked to see a teamup of those two against Ron?

i feel like they finished his story as far as character development went. they established he wasn't reformed, enjoyed being a mutant... and they finished the story as far as how he assisted in ron's development too. what else would they do with it that grows either character?

the more notable impact i think is the continued establishment of the KP world as a place where genetic manipulation is common. gill and ron mutated by the lake... kim turning into a monkey... amy mutating animals and humans things with the flip of a switch... camille leon's shapeshifting abilities... and of course, monkey fist as a hybrid human/chimp or whatever he is (and later amy herself as a gorilla). aaaaand drakken getting fused with semi(?)-sentient plants of his own creation.

it's not an aspect i enjoy, personally. i don't like human genetics being messed with. however for the fanfic writer there are endless possibilities here. you can imagine anything at all... such as aviarius really being part bird or something. or come up with new villain OC's, maybe an escapee from amy's lab or something... give ron some sort of PTSD after his transformation incident if one wants to go that route.

but no, i think MF was the much better character to suit ron's arc because with gill, it was just summer camp horror. and we were stuck there at wannaweep, and it was the only venue for the story to take place. meanwhile with MF... world travel... japan for ron since he has the powers... meeting yori, sensei... having his own villain in fukushima... and ron's fear of monkeys is something that can come out more in more settings, and the overcoming of that fear, than the bad summer camp experience.

now the summer camp thing itself, not even talking about gill, can lead into more of ron's development. why was he sent to a camp at all? why'd his mom really stop accepting his calls? you can draw a LOT of ron development from that childhood background incident than from the incident with gill.

all that said... far more creative writers than me have taken gill to new heights, and i am absolutely here for it!

[sadahugsblahaj]

One of the reasons I started to rumble on tumblr was that if I could I would talk about Gintama all day but none of my irl friends seem to care. It's been the only thing I've been recommending them for two years and still none of them tried it out even tho I watched everything they recommended. Like, the teachings of Gorilla-sensei taught me to be humble and I never shove it to someone's face, but, you know, would be nice to have someone to fangirl with. Gintama is my number one hyperfixation and I just need to put my word vomit somewhere.

Once when I was at a con I met Eren (not the Monday Eli, the one from the other anime) and he asked me which anime would I recommend, I immediately said Gintama.

"Yeah I watched that..."

FINALLY I FOUND SOMEONE, THIS THE DAY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. I FINALLY HAVE SOME TO DISCUSS WITH THE PERFECTION THAT IS THE GINTAMA ANI-

"but I dropped it after 3 episodes it was too boring"

"o-oh. sure man. everyone has their own preferences and that's okay"

I said in a polite understanding tone as I looked like this:

(literally, I was wearing Kamui cosplay)
