I stared at this picture for an hour and Tbh, Sugi-kun is tooo cuteee!! We have to thank sorachi for making this boi!😭

I'm going to jail because of him

Ahahahahaha don't worry about jail time, I'll be in the next cell for sure! We can expand the Shinsuke community there, it's just another business opportunity heh.

Other than that though, I absolutely adore Sugi-kun! He looks so cute and innocent, the kind of boy who could be also very polite while up front aggressive. I don't know, in my eyes he looks so gentle and pure, you just want to make him blush and squeeze his cheeks, he is that adorable! I have a huge collection of fanart about him and I do have lots of cute pictures of him as a child. I'll share some with you but SHHHH I am not sure who made this, I DIDN'T MAKE THEM DON'T SUE ME WONDERFUL ARTISTS OF THIS WORLD!

Look at how adorable his blushing expression is!!!!!!! I can't even, he is too cute, he breaks my heart into tiny pieces. Such a good boy for real.

It's kinda faint here but you can still see it!

I can totally understand why Gintoki teased him so much, I wouldn't be able to resist myself.

Like even as a child, he has this gentle and sophisticated demeanor, how can you not love him?

I think that one of the things I like the most about Takasugi is that he hasn't changed exactly. He was always this adorable and although now he is leaning more towards the sexy than the cute side, his features are so beautiful and kind. That's just one of his appeals to me, even when there is ugliness around him, he is the most precious and beautiful thing. Even when he grew up under such conditions, he was always adorable.

LOOK. AT. THEM. NO. COMMENTS.

Finally, I wanna talk about this beautiful smile/laugh of his. Takasugi in general does smile a lot but it's mostly sneers and smirks, it's not really genuine. But here, this is him genuinely smiling and being happy! I would give anything to protect that smile, I completely understand Gintoki. His smile is the most precious thing, I can't even-

I JUST WANT TAKASUGI TO BE HAPPY OKAY GENUINELY HAPPY! HE SHOULD BE SMILING AND HE SHOULD BE HAPPY, HE DESERVES IT!

I think I may have used this ask in order to fangirl more myself. I- I apologize okay I have so many feelings about him. Whether it's a kid, a teenager or the yakult man himself (sounds like a superhero lmao) I just love him with all of my heart. He is the most precious thing ever and of course I spend most of my days looking at thim.

So fear not, for we'll continue the Takasugi movement in jail if we get caught! No fear in admiring the beauty of this world and kid Sugi is the epitome of beauty!

*bonks u with LISTENING TO YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR INTERESTS YOUVE GOT VERY GOOD INTERESTS (and cardboard tube)*

ANON ILY I SAW THIS AND I WAS LIKE "hmm i think ill save this for when i want to ramble about my interests since rn i cant think of ANY of my varied and many interests" AND THEN LIKE JUST NOW I WAS THINKING HMMMM I WANNA TALK ABOUT OKAMI BUT WHERE DO I DO THAT so now youre stuck here listening to me talk about issun!

dont click unless youre ready to scroll. a bunch.

issun,,,, thoughts. ough. waugh. woahoogjhoo. he's a punk. he has authority issues. probably an inferiority complex that he shoves deep deep down. He's been raised to become a celestial envoy. that's who he's going to be. shaped and molded into an artist from birth.

He tries, he improves, but he never gets the recognition he wants, the recognition he craves. His confidence tells him he deserves it, his confidence shows that he doesnt have to be STUCK doing this his whole life. I feel like being stuck is something Issun fears alot, actually. He needs to be free. He wants change when things arent going his way. He wants to be respected! He wants people to STOP CALLING HIM A BUG.

His entire character just- ough. The CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. MAN. The first two acts he's crass. He's immature. He's demanding. But he doesn't notice, or else he doesnt care. Because journeying with Ammy, even if its scary sometimes, even if times are uncertain, he feels free. Is this what being a Celestial Envoy is? Maybe it's not so bad.

He's still hiding from that destiny, mind you. Its more of a feeling that he can't name, won't name. Waka prods him about it, and it Pisses. Issun. Off. Can't he escape that? He left Ponc'tan for a reason! Why is it still plaguing him?

When Ammy visits Ponc'tan, Issun refuses to go in. And I got to wonder what's going on while she's in there. (Asides from the hilarious mental image of him sitting on a mushroom arms crossed just pouting) Is he guilty? Angry? Scared? I think it's a mixture of all of three, tbh. He's so so resentful of- is it Ishaku? Is it himself? Is he angry that he couldn't just wait to find his destiny as an envoy? He had to go find it himself? Then he was RIGHT! He's RIGHT and Grandfather is WRONG.

I know i'm skipping a bit but they find the arc of yamato and just. JUST. FUCKING. ISSUN TRIES TO SEPARATE HIMSELF. AMMY'S GOING ON TO FINISH HER DESTINY AND HE'S NOT COMING WITH. I HAVE SO MANY FUCKING FEELINGS ABOUT THIS SCENE BUT I NEED TO PLAY IT AGAIN BEFORE I TALK ABOUT IT JUST IN CASE I GET IT WRONG

Issun's goodbye breaks my fucking heart. He's resigned to not seeing her again. It's like all this time he's been growing closer and closer to who he's meant to be, and now he's backing away. He doesn't want a stiff goodbye, he doesn't want an emotional one. He wants Ammy to STOP looking so sad. What does she care, anyway? She needs to go to BRUSH GOD things! EPIC WORLD SAVING THINGS!!

Waka shows up and. BITCH WHY SO INSENSITIVE??? YOU COULDVE BEEN SO MUCH NICER. But also I think Issun really needed to hear someone say that he had to face facts, you know?

Waka prods him, Issun gets angry, he tries to enter the arc anyways. I GOT SO EXCITED SEEING THIS PART WE GET TO KEEP THE BELOVED BUT THEN BAM. A barrier forms and Issun is repelled. He falls back against the dissolving bridge. Issun falls into the cold lake as Waka leads Ammy into the arc.

What was he thinking while the arc closed? While his best friend Ammy disappeared to go to important- life threatening things- without HIM? I think he had a severe case of fomo for a minute there, but he stomped it down. It's not like- its not like this is HIS problem. What does he care anyways?

......no. He does care.

THIS IS THE PART. THE PART WHERE HE ACCEPTS THE SIDE OF HIMSELF THAT HES BEEN BEATING BACK WITH HIS LITTLE BRUSH SWORD FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN. IT ALL COMES CRASHING DOWN ON HIM. HE THINKS MAYBE THAT DUNK IN THE ICY WATER DID HIM SOME GOOD. HE STARTS TO DOGGY PADDLE TO SHORE.

THE PLAN FORMS IN HIS MIND. I- FUCK I NEED TOSTOP TYPING IN CAPS

The plan forms in his mind all at once. What if the reason he was hiding so long is that he didn't know HOW to do what he was trying to do? Now he knows. He feels it in his very being. He needs a scroll and some ink.

FUCKING. DUCKING FUCK HELL. IM. GENUINELY TEARING UP MAYBE ITS THE FACT THAT IM LISTENING TO RESET BUT-

Issun has to move fast. He doesn't know when, he doesnt know HOW he's so certain of this but- Ammy needs him. Ammy NEEDS a celestial envoy, and isn't it selfish of him to deny her one? Who's a better candidate, after all!!

Susano, Kushi, Oki, everyone they know, everyone they barely met. He meets with them all. He MAKES them listen, he MAKES them see. Don't you remember that white wolf that came through a while ago? She made you a drying pole, she saved your dog. She saved and defeated the water dragon. She ate all of your food, she won your race. Don't you remember? She's a god, silly! See her here? She's in trouble. I need you to believe in her, so that the sun can shine on us again.

FUCKING. TEARS IN MY EYES.

I like to think that Issun knew the whole time how much that saved Ammy's life. Powerless, facing the stupid fucking evil discount mike wazowski orb and missing her friend. I like to think that Ammy felt the warmth of the sun, too. I mean yeah she IS the sun but- all of those souls thanking her and believing in her? I like to think that it flooded her body with a determined burn that woke her up, spread through her veins and made her seethe with a power to dispense some Divine Retribution.

..

I think that after everything is all said and done, Issun feels ten times lighter. Not only because the world is saved and Ammy victorious, but because he did it. He became what he had to become, what he was so afraid of. He conquered his fear. Would Ishaku be proud now? You fucking BET!

ough,,,, i just,, i have so many feelings over him and i would write more of them out if i didnt just write a THOUSAND FUCKING WORDS OVER THIS PINT SIZED LIL SHIT

anyways bows impressively and remember you asked for this <3
