writing in which Abuto lives in my mind rent-free:

Abuto lost his left arm in Yoshiwara, and he just don't like the feeling of cold metal on his skin at night. On your skin at night.

Every night, whether or not you hit the sack at the same time or not, he hugs you in your sleep the same way you used to hold your plushies: it’s like a chokehold, grasping whatever he can. Sometimes he holds your hand. Sometimes you move in your sheets, and you hug him. Suffocate yourself in the mane that is his hair on purpose sometimes even.

He sleeps on the right side of the bed, and you on the left. Needless to say, there's a running joke between you two, where the "wrong side of the bed" is not so much a physical place, but instead a perpetual state. But what can you say? The man's got some sort of superpower to rise with the sun and you seem to be most lively when night falls.

But what you both know is that he did it on purpose: the first night you slept together, he asked if you could sleep by the window and was holding his arm with his other arm. The fake one with his real one.  There's his utilitarian reasoning, which makes perfect sense: it is totally possible that he'll swing his arms off in his sleep and those mercenary paychecks have to spread themselves. But knowing him well enough, his arm (or lack thereof) wants to hold you. Weird as it may sound, he'd rather hold you with one arm rather than let you feel the cold of metal touch your skin.

Gintama (銀魂) // Hideaki Sorachi

[ginrise]

The biggest curse when reading people's opinions about Gintama is that I very often encounter the phrase "the comedy has been done before" or "It's been overdone" etc etc.

I don't really know why it's so hard to understand that Gintama has been around since 2003. That's (in December) 21 years ago.

You, as a viewer watching, and especially earlier episodes, are watching the origin of numerous jokes in Japanese media. Sorachi did pave the way for many other manga/anime that you see now adays. So, to think that the humor in Gintama is overdone is simply because you're desensitized to what has now been repeated by other media.

Point is: Gintama is the foundation to many of your favorites. And that's me purely talking about humor, not even bringing up the crafting of serious arcs, etc.

how dare gintama spend 250 eps lulling me into a false sense of security by mixing whacky 4th wall-breaking heartfelt comedy w/ the odd drama-tinged plot arc

and then drop courtesan of a nation

it’s 11am on a tuesday and I feel like someone just roundhouse kicked me in the face & dumped me in the trash, but emotionally
