thought regarding episode 309/chapter 428 of Gintama...

(Gintama spoilers for Farewell Shinsengumi arc)

Okay, so obviously Katsura's faction made a coordinated action on the same day. A number of his followers led by Elizabeth made contact with a number of the ex-Shinsengumi including Saito and Yamazaki. Then the group cornered Okita and, after a lot of back and forth accompanied by Kagura joining Okita, the Shinsengumi group and proposed alliance was revealed. Meanwhile Katsura had headed over to Cabaret Smile where he got disguised in a super fine courtesan get-up (which would take some time to get into), waited in the wings, and then stepped in at the optimal moment to Save The Day, letting Gintoki escape and getting himself arrested with the intention of helping to free Kondo and Matsudaira from within prison. He must have been very confident that he would indeed be placed in the same prison they were.

Now. How did Katsura know to head over to Cabaret Smile that particular evening? Did he get information that Hijikata would go there and decided to make contact? Or did he get information that Sasaki would bring Nobunobu there and thought 'this will not turn out well, I'll be the hero and use the opportunity to get arrested at the same time'?

Or did he get information about both those things? Giving the simultaneous action with the rest of the faction, I feel that contacting Hijikata was *probably* the main reason. In that case, I feel the most likely explanation is that someone from the faction had shadowed Hijikata and reported to Katsura that he was at the cabaret. Especially since Hijikata seemed to have been sitting there for a while already at the start of the scene, which could give sufficient time for Katsura to act. An alternative is that Kozenigata - the one who actually invited Hijikata and Gintoki to the Cabaret - was actually secretly in touch with Katsura's faction and was tipping them off in advance of his plan. This seems like a bold option, but it would have given Katsura more time to get into his outfit and head for Cabaret Smile.

Or, third alternative, someone was spying on the two of them earlier in the day and heard Kozenigata mention they should go there.

When it comes to Nobunobu's visit, that would probably be top secret and hard to know in advance... UNLESS there were moles in the Mimawarigumi who leaked information? Maybe... actually Sasaki himself? Not necessarily to Katsura or even knowingly to Katsura's faction directly. He might simply have intentionally been juuust a little indiscreet in public in a place where he knew Jouishishi were often about. Hoping to cause a commotion that would make the Joui look good and Nobunobu look bad to further more chaos in the country. But also, there is the tantalizing possibility that Sasaki might have made contact with Katsura already and THAT was why Katsura was so sure that he'd be placed in the same prison as Kondo and Matsudaira. That he knew that Sasaki knew that he would try to break them out, but that he was willing to take the risk of Sasaki's backstabbing because Sasaki might just choose to stab Nobunobu in the back instead, and the country was running out of options. Now, that wouldn't fit with Sasaki explaining his pleased surprise to Nobume the next day that they had caught a big fish with cheap bait, but maybe he was keeping the pretence up in front of her...

Welcome to CCTV (Cosmic Cannon Television) not to be confused with China Central Television! I am your host, Shinpachi Shimura from Gintama, you may remember me from the icon on this blog! It is my honour to cover news related to (Kenta’s) canon muses on his canon blogs!

Please text ‘OC’ to 600673 80085 8020 if you want OC news included too!

In this week’s news, Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach @cc-ichigo-kurosaki has made a return after relentless booping by fans! Speaking of booping, here is a letter left by our mun, Kenta! Ahem-

‘Dear muns and muses

If you are reading this, then I did not survive the Booping Games on April 1st 2024. Please do not tell my wife, I do not wish to be booped for eternity.

From the panda from down under your bed, please do not check.’

-turns to yell at someone who’s off the screen-

Why did you end it like that?! Do you know how creepy that is!? Even as a joke! Do you want us to be cancelled first thing?! You are so lucky that today is not Sinday for anyone yet! -broadcast ends-

Wriothesley Teaches You How to Fight Like A Pro

"First things first... fix that attitude of yours," Wriothesley grumbled, clad in his long-sleeved dress shirt, fitted pants and mechanical gauntlets. Slicking his hair back with both hands over his head, he groaned, "You don't even want to do this properly. Are you just here for me or what?"

Upon hearing that, your jokester ass laughed out loud and you clutched your clenched stomach bending over in joy. Wiping a tear from your eye, you muse, "Well what if I was?" and continued giggling with your feet circling in arcs like a dying roach.

Let's just say some people have a different sense of humour. You weren't even surprised when you lightly peeked with one eye at Wriothesley to find him glaring daggers at you with those striking eyes of his, because he has never appreciated your skibidi toilet jokes.

Even you knew his limits, and you didn't know him well. Just well enough to share drinks and inside jokes. For you, well was quality time and bouts of intimate touches. So no, you didn't know him well. You got up and sprung back into action, picking up some Gintama move you saw Chinese grandmothers do in Tai Chi. Hands in karate chop motion, you tornadoed to his direction and landed a foot directly in front of him, hand positioned directly before his nose.

Wriothesley scrunched up his nose and forced out a reluctant "Better, I guess," and lowered his head. Addled and confused, you tilted your neck to your side in a classic WHAT?! pose, then you heard a chuckle from somewhere around the room. Looking around, you said, "Well, I never knew you invited some others to our practises."

When he didn't respond, you turned back to him kneeling on the floor, gorgeous di-coloured hair sprawling out from his scalp. You squat with your legs open like a frog or sneaky spider in front of him, leggings stretching against your calf. Looking down at him, you saw a glimpse of his canine tooth revealed by a devilish grin. He looked up at you and laughed at your face, eyes closed all the way through in a joyful daze.

Sobering up, he projected with a husky voice, "So funny, are we?" and you could swear his Arctic glacier eyes thundered periodically, letting you in a world of dark, deep sea typhoons. "Let's see what happens when you face real danger. You think they would loosen their grip because you said something that started with ski, ended with di and rhymed with clinically? I'd like you see you £#¢¥ing try," he threatened gloomily, advancing onto you with a fat forearm.

You hastily avoided his arm by holding it back with both hands, but you never really won over the gymbros in arm wrestling, so you got overpowered instead. He locked his arm under your neck, lifting you up so your toes were dreaming of touching land, which never happened considering you were taller than the average population. His shirt sleeve was so distracting because it smelled like your cousin's detergent and made you wish you had money to afford laundry that was more than just rinsing fabric with water.

You felt like Loki being held by his neck by Thor, albeit being the superior brother in the situation. In every situation, actually. Loki just suited you better. Pranksters have your whole heart.

You snuck your hands under his arm and pushed outward with all your might, and he was still unyielding. Bruh, at this point you just gotta turn around and start pushing his chest away from you. That'd be more effective, right? Whose chest can withstand brute force? Well, not yours, to be frank. You can't even wrestle your cousin.

"LET ME... THE £@#& GO!" you yelled with your back against his locked hands in a smooth manoeuvre, and tried to push at his chest. Ew, this feels like molestation. Who cared about molestation when your life was being threatened by a raider!!! You don't care anymore, you went from poking his chest playfully to shoving the hell out of his dress shirt, and he stumbled, hands losing their grip.

Like a proud hen, you stood arms akimbo, head inclined as you stared Wrio down. Oh my effing god. He surged and started CHARGING at you!!! He threw himself on you like on those WWE Superslams and you flew with your back sliding on the floor. His arms were around you, then you realised they weren't around you as much as they were wrapped around an actual dagger. Oh archons!

If you were wrong in the head, you would think this was fun and mentally stimulating. It was a bit exhilarating, but you were fearing for your life here. Mr Puppy here looks like he would actually kill you here and now for saying skibidi toilet during a company dinner 3 weeks ago. Deeply stashed anger, am I right? Poor pup doesn't have an outlet to release stress, so he keeps it all pent up and explodes on you for a tiny joke consisting of toilet...

His knee kneeling in the space between your thighs, he seemed chivalrous and angelic and deadly. The light shining on him from his table lamp just further intensified the dark side of his face, unilluminated by anything. That pretty much sums up your first impression of him. Dark, sepulchral and a pain to be with. Now, you're wrong. This is fun.

"Alright, yes yes, I'm afraid I'm deeply invested now, Your Grace. Continue," you chirped happily from your position under the Duke's glinting knife. If you stole a jewel from the hilt now, would he realise? You were quite good at this gemstone side hustle of yours.

"Second of all, do not let yourself be vulnerable," he gritted his teeth and you wanted to caress his neck just right above your collarbone. "Well, I don't. I never open up to people! I consider it one of my great strengths-" you got cut off by his bejeweled dagger pinning itself on the fabric of your tank top like a dart pinned to a dartboard.

"Not what I meant," he offered, "but thanks for the invitation." Then he lifted a hand and punched you on your good side. Alas, no more side profile selfies!

You grabbed the gloved hand that was about to go for a second round of punching you with one determined fist of yours, unyielding in your grip. You observe Wriothesley's amusement, his face on top of you taunting. God, his lifted lips are so distracting in their angles, sharp at all the right places. Dangerous men should not have smiles more perilous than their charm.

Despite that, you shook him with your hand guiding him in the direction you wanted to go - in this situation you wanted him the floor where you previously were. Locking your elbow around his dangerous arm, you channeled enough strength to pull him down on the floor beside you. After the satisfying thud of your bully/mentor's back hitting the floor (his tough back muscles are probably fine), you swiftly roll yourself on top of him, legs clamped around both of his. Tank top strap slowly sliding down your shoulder, you dislodge the dagger on the floor and rest your elbows on the sides of his face. Curling his hair on the dagger's pointy edge, you look down, half-lidded, on his tired blue eyes and sadistically remarked, "Any tips for ending someone with a dagger?"

[such-a-downer]

Okay so there's this gintama spyfam cross fanart from @ jackystar243 that I've seen. It was a reposted art (i scanned through the blog). The blog has several other reposted sxf art.

I tagged my mutuals who reblogged it, artists @ roucaelum-art and @ mochidoodle whose arts were also reposted, to alert them.

And next I've sent an ask (roucaelum also messaged them iirc) but i doubt the person cared and my ask was probably ignored because i saw another reposted art some days ago.

I just want to alert everyone to be careful about reblogging fanarts. There are L O T S of reposters even here on tumblr. So let me share my tip: browse through the blog first.

For more detailed steps, here's a post by @miyakuli (she reposts art WITH permission, i definitely recommend checking her blog):

[lostusagis]

SHIPPING INFO. answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog. ( Only doing Kamui for this because of reasons )

what’s your OTP for your muse(s)?

Overall, there's not a lot of shippy moments in Gintama? But based off their interactions, my otp for Kamui is Kamui x Okita because that's someone I can see Kamui genuinely showing interest in out of the people he's met. They're the same brand of blood thirsty and crazy, they both love to fight, and they banter. Also Kagura hating Okita makes this ship ten times funnier.

Also the criminal x cop dynamic is hot.

what are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

I'm up for almost anything? Just not.... weird shit? Like I am willing to touch on toxicity in ships since Kamui has no experience with dating, nor is fully knowledgeable of everything people on earth do. Plus, he's an asshole. He gets violent too depending on the situation. Once he does actually become interested, he tends to get obsessive even if he does outwardly act nicer towards his partner. Borderline yandere lol.

how large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

Anything adult x minor makes me uncomfortable.

are you selective when shipping?

Yes. I'm tired of people wanting to rush through everything. Kamui is not someone who's even easy to befriend, let alone date. If someone doesn't have the patience for that, I'm not interested. Either tag along for the slow burn or don't ask to ship at all. Plus, on multiple occasions people have complained about how mean Kamui is as well. It's bound to happen before we get to the romantic stuff, so.....

how far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

When things get handsy tbh lol

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

I guess I wouldn't mind shipping Kamui with Takasugi either? If the opportunity is presented, I'd try it out. Even if I have an OTP, I'd be willing to try out other ships via RP since more often than not I end up enjoying it based off past rp experiences :)

does one have to ask to ship with you?

Yeah. I need to be told beforehand, so I'm aware where our interactions are going to go. It needs to be discussed too. Every person that ships w/ Kamui, I've talked a lot about it with them via DMs.

how often do you like to ship?

Hmm, I always like to ship. But I also would like platonic stuff too? I don't want things to ONLY be shippy.

are you multiship?

Oh yeah for sure, I'm always up for different ships with different people.

are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

More or less maybe. . .?

what is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

Hmm, can I name more than one ship? I have a few faves in Gintama.

Kamui x Okita obviously, Kagura x Soyo, Kyuubei x Tae, Gintoki x Tsukuyo, that's it.

finally, how does one ship with you?

Honestly, just DM me, or ask for discord. I'm really not all that strict. Just respect that I'm not toning down Kamui just bc you're getting impatient with our ship and there should be no problem? Otherwise, I'm really easy going, send all the asks you want, start all the threads you want, i don't care. Just be respectful and know what you're getting into.

Looking for an RP partner

So... lately I have been having an itch to write/RP... it's been years since I last wrote anything substantial... but I want to hop back onto the "bicycle" so to speak, so here's to some self advertising and info about myself.

Before you proceed, keep in mind I'm 29NB and any future partners willing to RP with me MUST be 21+. I would prefer it if they were 25+ as it would mean they are closer to my age, but I'm not going to be nit picky about the age range as long as they are 21 years old.

I have some RP experience both in tumblr and discord, but as I previously stated, it's been years. I also written a fic here and there, years ago.

My replies tend to vary from one liner sentences to multiple paragraphs in one go or in-between depending on my creative juices. You don't need to match my length (if I get crazy and reply you in one too many multiple paragraphs) if the creative juices aren't flowing.

I am looking for a casual partner, someone who feels comfortable with me and vice versa. Someone who wants to have fin with me and making up stories for our favorite characters/ships.

Also very important for me, communication is key. Specially before starting a RP and during. We have to know each other's squicks, hard no's and anything that could be potentially triggering to either one of us.

I am very open minded and I am willing to RP almost anything for example: smut, GL, BL, HET, dark stuff, violence, gore, bdsm, a/b/o, mpreg/fpreg....etc. Thinking about it, I might just RP about anything as long as it's talked to beforehand, there might be some instances where I might say no, depending on the characters and the story being written. (I'm saying like if the situations call for it I might bre willing to write vore, which I personally don't like)

I shall only RP in discord and discord only. It's easier and cleaner. I ain't going back to tumbr RPing, unless I get begged to go back to that mess. I don't wan't create a character tumblr blog ever again, or do I?

I am an ever loving multi-shipper and love many ships, however I do have my OTPs.

I don't mind doing RP with OCs, whether they be OC x OC, or MC x OC. I do have some OCs that live mostly in my head. (I might share them one day to the world, maybe, maybe not.)

And now... it is time to put down the list of some of the fandoms I am willing to RP and the characters (muses) I am comfortable to RP as and some of the ships that go with it. (Bold means I feel way more comfortable than usual writing for the character, don't know why, some characters just sing to my soul I guess?) Regardless, I'll RP as anyone and I'll do any ships, unless they are a NOTP. This is just a sample list, if you decide to RP with me, we can talk more in depth about it.

Jujutsu Kaisen -I am all caught up with the manga- (muses: Gojo Satoru, Itadori Yuuji, Nanami Kento, Zenin Maki, Todo Aoi) (Ships: Any/Yuuji, Maki/Nobara, Satoru/Suguru, Nanami/Vacation, etc...)

Chainsaw Man -I am all caught up with the manga- (muses: Denji, Power) (ships: any/any)

Gintama -I am feeling nostalgic- (muses: Shimura Shinpachi, Sakata Gintoki, Kondo Isao, Okita Sougo) (ships: ginshin, kondo/okita, hijikata/okita...etc)

Dragon Ball (muses: Son Goku, Vegeta, Bulma..etc) (ships: any)

Demon Slayer (muses: Kamado Tanjiro, Agatsuma Zenitsu, Rengoku Kyojuro, Uzui Tengen) (ships: any)

Uh... those are the ones that are coming up with some character preference... Here's another list of other fandoms I am in and are willing to RP. It is mixed media, not only anime like the above list.

Daimond no Acce

A Song of Ice and Fire (that includes the shitshow that GoT became)

House of the Dragon

SuperBat (yes, just the ship. I am familiar with DC to some degree, movies, some cartoons -Justice League-)

Marvel (I'm stuck in stucky, but I am more comfortable with Marvel than I am with DC)

Naruto (No Boruto anything.)

Bleach

Fate Series

JoJo

Eyeshield21

...and more... just ask and I shall let you know. If you decide we would be a good RP, just sent me a message here in tumblr or an ask. (and pray I actually see it cause I'm bad with that kind of stuff)

@eyesofcuriosity asked: "Excuse me? Could perhaps help me with directions? " she asks the random stranger ( Listen I love all Gintama muses soo...i leave the choice up to youuu )

Even though life in Yoshiwara was a lot more pleasant than before, Tsukuyo did often monitor the streets to make sure no commotion was about. Never knew when danger might lurk, and she wanted to assure the safety of all the women residing in Yoshiwara. When a woman decides to stop and ask her for directions though, she didn't have any issue with it.
