The names of Gintoki and Tsukuyo’s children

Art by 温度計

I’ve been thinking about the names of Gintoki and Tsukuyo’s children and I know it’s the typical shippy stuff and I should be doing something productive BUT ANYWAY please listen:

It’s fanon that they’ve twins since Red Spider arc. Preferably a boy and a girl.

Tsukuyo and Gintoki’s names are based on myths/legends (Tsukuyomi and Sakata no Kintoki respectively).

Therefore, their children’s names should be based on myths/legends that are siblings.

After some research I came to the conclusion that the two gods of Japanese mythology that fit the best are Haniyasu-hiko and Haniyasu-hime for the following reasons:

They’re the children of Izanagi and Izanami, one of the most prominent gods, creator deities of life and death, paralleling Gintoki and Tsukuyo’s ties to those elements as hardened warriors and protectors.

Haniyasu-hiko and Haniyasu-hime are siblings. One is known as the God of courage and strength while the other is the Goddess of love, devotion, and spirit, embodying both Gintoki and Tsukuyo in their desire to protect the people they care about.

They were born from Izanami's feces, so apart from having a deep meaning it’s also a poop joke lmao

Since all names have little variations in Gintama, I would change the previously established names to (sorry if I mess up the kanji) Haruhiko (春彦) and Hanahime (花姫).

#Gintama #Sakata Gintoki #Dadtoki #Tsukuyo #gintsu #Gintsu family #Decent names for Dia and Block #I’ve a presentation tomorrow and here I am procrastinating again #There are other things like them being earth clay and pottery deities which could apply to their future role in protecting the Earth #I also wanted names that were similar for the twins #They’re considered a couple as well as siblings (just like Izanagi and Izanami) but I conveniently ignore that #I know everyone has their headcanons so feel free to reply or tag the names you imagine for them and why if you want #It would be interesting to see :) #Headcanon #Text #my post #yes I changed the boy's name #because I forgot Madao's wife was named Hatsu lol #But now it's Haru (spring) and Hana (flower) so it fits better #let's say they were born in spring
