Otaes smile and Otaes tears - the Kyuubey-Arc is kinda a shitshow

Still on my Gintama-Rewatch and i've got feelings i need to let go off

So the Kyubey-Arc: Kyubey comes in, takes Otae a way like they are Bowser or something and it falls to Gintoki, Shinpachi, Kagura, Kondo, Hijikata and Okita to get her back.

The good:

The whole toilet battle is a delight, Hijikatas figth *chefs kiss*; all the Okikagu stuff makes me so happy, Taes interactions with the mother in law are wonderfull and show her strengths as a character

But everything else - oh boy oh boy oh boy

rage under the cut (and this is overthinking one of the central conceits of gintama be warned)

lets start that the relationship between Otae and Kyubey is paralled with Kondos relationship to an actual gorilla (equating homosexuality with bestiality) can i just say YIKES!!!

Hijikata not being able to fight Kyubey because she is a ~woman~ UGH!!!

Everyone freaking out about two women getting married

But the worst thing is: Kyubey kinda has a point. She's going about the wrong way, and the criticism that she's being protected and that she's ignoring Otaes feelings are correct but everything she says about shinpachi is true

let's imagine for a second that Otae really wanted to marry Kyubey (Sorachi would never let that happen because status quo is god, and he actually can't imagine a homosexual relationship at this point bless his heart) but let's imagine: if that were true Kagura would be correct that everyone is being a big jerk.

Shinpachi doesn't consider this - he storms inside like a jilted lover and just tries to take Otae back because she didn't discuss things with him, which granted was kind a dick move but it wasn't something she needed to do. He takes it as a reason to ignore her feelings.

Otae stops him. She wants to stay. So Shinpachi berates her because she's always shutting her feelings away and doesn't accept help. She still refuses to follow him. He hits her. Her cheek becomes red and for a moment Otae looks really vulnerable. Than Otae answers with anger and punches back and the whole scene becomes comedic.

I want to stay here for a moment. The slap is not comedic it becomes comedic through Otaes reaction. A lot of stuff Otae has to deal with on a daily basis only becomes comedic because she never shows weakness. Let's put a pin in that.

In a moment Shinpachi will say that anyone who makes his woman cry is a jerk.

Shinpachi my dear - what about the guys who hit them because they're not acting the way they're supposed to.

Because lets face it: Tae-chans fake smile never bothered anyone before. Be honest with yourself, Shinpachi. You didn't want to know. as long as she stayed with you, you were absolutely fine with this. Gintama as a whole series is constantly telling women that they should smile through the pain so that their male counterparts feel better - do you think Tae-chan never cried before?

Kyubey is misguided but her criticism is correct. Shinpachi always needs Tae to be strong. He can't handle it if she weren't. She's supposed to be strong and care for their family home and have a stable income (because Shinpachi sure doesn't have one)

It's the same with Kondo: Kondo depends on the fact that Otae smiles and becomes angry and never mentions that it's actually fucking scary to have a stalker. It's okay that Kondo constantly makes unwanted advances at her work and at her home - she just will hit him and smile. He never gets the hint. She transforms her whole home into a castle. He still doesn't get the hint. As long as there are no tears on the face it's apparently fine to ignore all of your girls wishes. Only sadness is acceptable as a deterrent. If tae became scared or sad it wouldn't be funny anymore. Thank got she's always strong.

This applies to other cases too: The underwear thief for example can only be funny because Tae gets angry and doesn't mention how violating it is to have your underwear stolen. Tae smiles and she smiles and she smiles. And so the status quo can remain.

Kyubey is misguided but she's also correct. There is noone with whom Otae can be weak. It's just that through her samurai bullshit she's forcing Otae once again to be strong.

And so the refutation of kyubey feels hollow. It feels like a story bending backwards to once again protect the feelings of it's male protagonists. Of course Tae wants to return. Of course Tae is happy. Of course Kyubey is wrong. Otae just feels guilty. Why would she ever want to leave.

I usually don't have a problem with the more problematic aspects of Gintama. Hell Kondos stalking is really funny and his interactions with Otae usually bring a smile to my face. But it really grinds my gears when Kyubey is suddenly criticised for something Kondo tries to do the whole time - just Otae likes Kyubey enough (even if it's not romantic love) that it makes her weak instead of angry.

Happy Birthday Kagura! 💕

So apparently you meant Felinette here?

I guess in the way they're both antagonistic towards each other, but Felinette have no rivalry or banter, or a strong unspoken bond where they each know each other inside and out like Okikagu. Felinette are straight up enemies and it ends there until the end of S5.

Okikagu is teasing with affection and camaraderie, while Felinette have no particular thoughts about the other (besides Marinette hating him for what he's done to damage the city) nor the desire to interact with each other. And when they do, it's pretty much just business and Adrien lol.

They're not happy fighting the other, they do it bc they have to for their cause. Okikagu loves sparring with each other from day 1. They are annoyed by the other constantly, but its never from a place of true malice unlike how you see Marinette interacting with Felix. Felix doesn't even really see Marinette as a person, she's just an extension of Adrien to him tbh.

do you think feline type has okikagu vibes? (・o・?)

I don't think I understand your question 😭

[desertsandoceans]

I don’t even watch Gintama, but I’m extremely invested in Kagura and Okita getting a happy ending.

[yatobunbun]

happy okikagu day!~~~

[kittykattymwah]

i can't let go of gintama. please don't make me

[sougu]

Reading the Gintama spoilers... OMG DON’T GIVE ME HOPE IN MY SHIP SORACHI! But really, if someone would realize that Kanna was Kagura it could only be Sougo - as always - and I’m happy for that \o/ And for once, I want a proper “final fantasy” for these two don’t crush my dreams Sorachi lol 

Edit: I’m dying with Okita saying “beloved stubborn brat” about Kagura (ෆ ͒•∘̬• ͒)◞ be canon already

[arasei]

I get a shot of adrenaline every time somebody tells me they cried after reading we lie with the monsters beneath our beds

[sabeia]

Hooooly macaroooons My OTP finally 😍😍😍😍
