warnings ; drinking , cursing , deep throating , face fucking , use of pet names (baby) , straight smut lmao

word count ; 2316

pairing ; hijikata toshirou x female reader (boobs and genitalia described & used!!)

minors dni!

. . . Maybe agreeing to go out drinking with you was a terrible idea after all.

Hijikata came to the conclusion that night. You invited him out for drinks under the pretense of 'it's friday, fuck it. let's drink to forget' or something like that. The both of you sat at the bar, ordering your share of drinks.

You've been working in the Shinsengumi for quite some time. . .Not like he's really talked to you or held a conversation besides greetings. He knows as the only female desk worker that it's hard and being surrounded by hundreds of scrawny men, you are bound to be thrown through the loop. Especially by the fact you are not bad to look at anyways.

Nonetheless, he's never really seen you out of your element besides. . . working he guesses. Seeing you actually talk (not that robotic voice with the pasted on smile) is really refreshing. Your smile isn't that bad to look at.

You ran shots back to back, obviously ignoring the burning tinge in your throat. 'Drinking to forget' my ass he thought, more like drinking for fucking liver failure. The more you drank, the more comfortable you got with him. Brushing shoulders, sometimes even bumping his knees. He admits, he's a little tipsy, but how the hell aren't you damn near dead yet? Sighing, he rubs his temples.

The hardest part was trying to distract his eyes from you after you unbuttoned your work blouse a few buttons too low (is that a lace bra you're wearing?), complaining it was 'burning up in here'—-allowing him the view of your chest. Glancing at anything lower than your face was a hassle, and not wanting to risk you calling him a pervert or 'hey , my eyes are up here fucker!' he persisted on through the night.

Now, Hijikata is a respectful man.

With that said, He . . decided it's best to not pay you no attention to you. It's normal, he thought.

However, what's NOT normal is this intense flirting.

"Now that I can really look at you, you're pretty darn attractive," you mutter as you surveyed his features. Making no attempt to hide your interest as you swishing your drink around in your hand.

"You're drunk," Hijikata bluntly states, sighing as casted you a quick glance, before looking back ahead at seemingly nothing.

"M' not, I'm just speaking the truth," you reply indifferently, the spiral forming in your drink more interesting.

"You're not drunk? So all those shots 2 minutes ago were just water-"

"You're missing the point! If anything, you should be thanking me!"

"Um. . . okay. Thank you?"

"You're oh so very welcome," you coo, before turning your body towards him,

"Can I kiss you?"

A short pause . . .

"W-What's with the sudden topic change?!"

Lowering his tone, Hijikata sweat drops. He's really losing his composure over you and your mindless teasing. Taking a swig of his drink, he gives you a one over waiting for your reply.

"It's a yes or no question. I can take no as an answer, I understand boundaries," you reply, peering your eyes over your glass. You lied. You'd never take no for an answer. Imagine having to take his paperwork after missions knowing he rejected you?

"Are you kidding. . .?" Hijikata trails off, eyebrows raised onto oblivion.

"Yes. Or. No."

"I can't answer that!"

"Well, i can answer for you," you mumbled, taking a step off your stool as you tucked your hand to the back of his head, you guided him by the hair down towards you. With heavy lidded eyes, and parted lips; Your lips were a ghost apart. Touching, but not kissing. You could sense the anticipation radiating off of him.

"Or maybe not," you smile, as you pull away, turning your body back towards the bar and holding your hand up for the waiter.

"What the hell." God he could use a cigarette right about now.

"I'm sorry, what's the matter?" you finally turn back to reply after ordering another drink, shifting your focus onto him.

"What the hell was that?! Why did you– just stand there. . ."

"All I wanted was your honesty. Did you want the kiss or not?" you question.

"Cut the teasing bullshit, I think i've made my intentions clear,"

"So. . . Is that a yes or what? You've never even said anything-"

"Yes dammit!"

God just put your lips on his already–

As if reading his mind, your lips crash onto his, your hand back again on his cheek as your other feels him in by his collar. Both your lips lock in a desperate, rough, needy kiss, shooting trembles all throughout your spine. Hijikata's hands reconcile on your waist, one exploring even further down to god knows where. His touch felt burning hot against you.

You moan, as Hijikata bites your lip in greeting, both of you exploring each other in this very moment alone. In fear you two might get kicked out for public indecency from how far this kiss was going, you pull away although reluctantly. The both of you pant, lips still a ghost apart as you mutter in between shaking breathes,

"How far do you wanna go tonight?"

"As far as you'll let me,"

——

Following Hijikata's long strides ended you both up in the public bathroom. Opening the door and offering for you to go in first (how manly), he follows after you not before locking the door with a distinguishable click. Hijikata turns around and looks at you intently, both of you waiting for the next move.

Before he knows it, you're once again grasping his collar and kissing him, his hands automatically snaking around your hips and pulling you closer.

"Put your hands up." Hijikata orders you like he orders his men.

You oblige, raising a questioning eyebrow as he unbuttons the rest of your shirt, helping you loop your arms out of it.

'It really is lace, black lace at that' he marvels as he kisses your chest, letting you resume.

You continue your trail of kisses slowly down to his jawline, placing a flurry of kisses before you descend down to his neck, taking your sweet time as you nestle your head in the crook of his neck, breathing in the scent of his signature fragrance of smoke. You unbutton his shirt to get a view of his chiseled chest, continuing the train of kisses. You crouch down as you slowly but surely make your way down to his pelvic area, your hands resting on his belt.

You glance up, looking for a sign he doesn't wish to go this far, but to your satisfaction, you're met with his desire ridden hues peering back down at you. You continue.

You unbuckle his pants, and as they pool around his legs, you focus your attention on getting the last layer of his forsaken clothing off, not without noticing the prodding dent in his boxers.

"Oh, someones excited to see me, huh?" You giggle, happy to see he's enjoying it just as you are, earning you a grunt in acknowledgment. Looping your fingers around the elastic line, not wanting to waste a moment longer, you pull them down.

From above, he peers down at you, taking grasp of your hair, itching with anticipation. With gentle touches, you take a minute to appreciate him in his full glory. Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi letting you suck him off in a bathroom?

In an attempt to clear your mind, you busy yourself with the task in front of you as you seize his cock in your hand, rubbing your thumb over his leaking tip. You slowly trailed your tongue from his balls to tip. Stopping on the tip, you suck on it before making an audible "pop" from your mouth.

Your hand replaces your mouth on the tip as you slowly massage it. Your mouth moves to sucking and placing sloppy kisses on the side of his cock.Your hand progressively starts to get faster as your mouth is now occupied with his balls. Humming as you go, you don't fail to notice Hijikata's grasp in your hair gets tighter the longer you go.

Ready for another change in pace, your hands and mouth switch spots again, your hands now fondling his balls whilst your mouth takes on his fully sheathed cock. Placing the needy tip in your mouth, you swirl your tongue around it, catching Hijikata's half lidded eyes, before sinking down every inch.

Peeking above to see Hijikata's eyes closed in content. His eyes suddenly peer back down to yours, before nimbly noticing and wiping the tears that nestled in the corners of your eyes.

"You're doing such a good job, baby." Hijikata praised, hands now caressing your cheek.

Slob begins to ooze out your mouth and onto your chest the longer you go. With quick movements, you grab Hijikata by the hips and make him bottom out in your mouth. Seemingly getting the message, his hands reach back for your hair as he begins face-fucking you.

Grunts of pleasure spill out of his mouth the longer you go. You could feel him twitching in your mouth. Everything on you felt wet and sticky. You bob your head back and forth as you take Hijikata down your throat, adding your hands into the equation as you stroked him as you sucked. Using your tongue, and deepthroated him, going so far that you wouldn't gag yourself.

"S-shit–", Hijikata sputters out between pants.

Noticing the tell-tale sign of him coming, you pull out completely, grinning in response to his startled face. His sex quivering in desire.

"You fucking tease," he growls, scoffing as he helps you off your knees.

"You love it though," you hummed in response, trying to shimmey off your skirt while Hijikata searched his pockets for a sacred golden packet. Hands coming out empty, he silently curses to himself for not packing them out of all times. Noticing his silent struggles.

"Aha," you quip, finally noticing what's missing, before digging into your purse and pulling out what he wanted."Need this?" you giggle as you open the packet with your teeth and get on your knees again, rolling it onto him.

"Thank you," he sighs, as you respond by placing a chaste kiss on his cock.

You rejoin him up above by placing another hungry kiss against his lips, as you loop your arms around his neck. He yanks one of your legs up as he aligns himself to your entrance, slowly sliding in between your slick folds. Pinning your bare back against the wall, he slowly snaked his hand around your throat. Jolting his hips back, he completely bottomed out inside of you. You let out an uncontrollable mewl, while he lets out his own stream of curses into your ear.

"Fuck, your so tight, baby."

Your legs were barely able to stay still as he showed no mercy to the thought of stopping. The sounds of skin slapping filling the vicinity of the bathroom He leaned down towards your ear, still going at his cut throat pace."Does that feel good, baby?", he whispered, the heat tickling you. "You look so good with my hand around your throat", he grunted, letting out his own share of moans.

God he was fucking you so well. You could barely get words out—

Abruptly, he slowed down his pace, leisurely rocking his hips into yours. Catching your ear in his mouth and peppering kisses to the side of your face. The change in pace so sudden gave you a moment to catch your breath before he pulled out almost completely, before slamming back in.

"F-uck— I can't—!" You gasped, throwing your head back. Your nails sure as hell leave marks on his back after this. You only heard a groan response before he quickly took advantage of your exposed neck and jawline, leaving marks of pleasure.

He advanced to linger deep inside of you, hitting your g-spot right on. And to top it all off, he slowed down, dangerously slow from the pace you started with.

Your legs were damn near about to give out, hell, you could barely feel them.

"L-lift me!" you try to get out as best as you can, before you quickly jump and put your other leg up. Hijikata's hands held your thighs up as he continued to ram into you with no problem.

"Right there—!" fuck you were so close. A smoldering heat was building up in your core, the longer he went. His dirty talking only furthering it.

"Cmon baby, come for me," Hijikata grumbled out, beads of sweat trickling down his temple as his husky voice resonated right next to your ear.

A needy moan spilled out your mouth as he cupped your breast, brushing over the nipple with his thumb. went on the hunt on one of your nipples, sucking, pulling and biting at one before going to the other. One of his hands flicked your clit while he was still inside of you. You writhed beneath him, crying out pleas for him to never stop.

"C-coming–!" you heave as your orgasm hits you head on. Your head was dizzy with lust as you contracted around his cock, you felt delirious. Every nerve firing off in ecstasy as your eyes rolled into the back of your head. Hijikata huffed, cursing under his breath as he rocked into you, spilling his seed into the condom.

Heavy pants filled the room as you both rode out your high's, your eyes fluttering as you leaned your head onto Hijikata's chest as he held you against him.

"Are you okay?" Hijikata questioned as he kissed your forehead.

"I can't feel my legs. . ." you mutter out, running your fingers through his sweat slicked hair, still clinging to him.

"Who the hell is in the bathroom? I needa go!"

Both yours and Hijikata's eye's lock in bewilderment.

. . .

"Uh. . . give us a second! I mean– give me a second!"

Randomly reaches up to fix his collar… ❝ You're a mess sometimes, y'know that. ❞ Uttered softly with just a touch of disdain yet upon closer look there's a faint smile upon her lips as she speaks. ❝ ... there. ❞ Exhale of a sigh and she promptly turns but not before hitting the youth’s chest with the back of her hand. ❝ And stop slouching, you look like a caveman. ❞

| | |   @raimeineko  | | |    ᴜɴᴘʀᴏᴍᴘᴛᴇᴅ:   ᴀʟᴡᴀʏꜱ ᴀᴄᴄᴇᴘᴛɪɴɢ   !

          Well,  everything had led to this day.  Between the constant jumbling of personal life,  shinigami life,  and school life ... it was all gonna be worth it.   such a long journey,  from a small child,  to the man who stood front,  he who conquered the world’s deadliest horrors,  fresh off the victory against Juha Bach and the Sternritters.  Kurosaki Ichigo,  a man controlled by fear or despair no longer,  proudly ready to walk along a new path.    

                                    It was Graduation Day.   

          Naturally,  substitute had invited many of his family and friends to the ceremony,  many being shinigami and that ilk.  Many accepted the invitation,  and took the day trip to The World Of The Living to see their golden boy walk with his hard earned diploma.  The obvious ones like Rukia,  Renji,  The Vizards, etc were to be expected, but others like Byakuya,  Shunsui,  Toshirou,  Kenpachi,  ... hell,  most of the Gotei came out in support of their very own war hero.  It was ... kind of intimidating,  he couldn’t lie.  Only a few had chosen to don’ gigai,  others chose to watch on out of sight of the humans attending,  well at least the ones without spiritual senses.  It was great to see the reactions of the human friends of his seeing this cavalcade of characters appear from thin air.  Chuckles could be heard from the Karakura Four,  all dressed up for their big day,  ready to take on the future they fought for.

          Once everyone dispersed,  Ichigo stood alone for a second.  Gathering thoughts,  reflecting on the past,  thinking of the future.  Smile would slowly creep upon visage,  and the familiar call of name would snap black sun to.  Turning heel,  hazel would meet gold as Flash Goddess appeared,  flanked by Kisuke and Isshin.  Genuine smile now shifting to playful smirk,  choosing the low road and following their appearance up with chastising.

                  ❝   Tch ... think you could’ve cut it any closer,  you guys  ???   ❞

          Before reply could be had,   Flash Goddess was already upon him,  lithe digits dancing around his collar before giving her own thoughts about his state.  Before some smart aleck retort could even be thought of,  let alone spat,  boy noticed the curvature of lips,  trying ever so desperately to hide from hazel gaze.  As she finished fixing his state of dress,  pulling away as quickly as she came,  Ichigo stood in silence.  A memory rang true,  that of Masaki readying a young boy for his first day at school,  that same delicate touch applied to collar,  it felt like yesterday she was with him ... and yet she’ll miss this day too.

          Neko’s quick smack to broad chest firmly snapped him free of this memory’s clutches,  hazel starting to pool,  fighting for chance to breath.  Was it the memory of the smack that pulled tears from ducts,  we’ll never be too sure.  Truth be told,  substitute hadn’t even acknowledged the second insult,  distracted by his own feelings of the encounter.   Time ticked by,  as boy continued to stand in awe,  before grin would place itself firmly ‘pon visage once more,  digits traveling upwards to strike any sense of sorrow from the record,  would be tears disappearing without trace.  

                               ❝  Yeah ... thanks, Yoruichi.   ❞

          Before said flash step master could turn to face shinigami once more,  arm would quickly snake its way around her shoulder,  boy now draping himself upon the other,  leaning upon her without restraint,  chuckle ripping from lungs as he hung.

                                                                 ❝  Don’t slouch like this  ???  ❞

(Alright. Back to being a "nerd x weeb".

In February, after watching Puss in Boots 2, I said that was my favourite anime movie.

on my b-day In August, after watching Mutant Mayhem, I said that was now my favourite anime movie. (I still can't get over with how they got away with referencing a real anime)

But after rewatching the RotTMNT movie, I realised I had actually already found my favourite anime movie a year ago.

Yea. This is my favourite anime movie. (until it is somehow dethroned, that is)

[A weeb screeching nonsense below]

So. Confession: Back in August of last year, I actually watched the movie first in the Japanese dub. And right after that, I bugged my friends online about it blasted SONO CHI NO SADAME the rest of the entire day.

And last week (this week?), I watched it again, but on a computer + played SONO CHI NO SADAME during the (climax of the) movie. Basically doubled the weeb energy.

(It makes it look very much like the final battle of Battle Tendency)

And also: Speaking of JoJo, I...uh...also watched the dub credits this time like a hopeless weeb, and...okay this is a bit crazy...

→ They got Muhammad Avdol's VA to voice Raphael (Kenta Miyake 三宅健太) [That's also All Might's VA. I thought Raph's voice was Hijikata Toshirou's at first listen]

→ They got Jonathan Joestar's VA to voice Donatello (Kazuyuki Okitsu 興津和幸) [Very surprising to me, but I could hear it in some lines]

→ And they got Okuyasu Nijimura's VA to voice Splinter (Wataru Takagi 高木渉) [That was very obvious to me, because he used the Daffy voice]

Leonardo is voiced by Jun Fukuyama 福山潤, who is a super famous VA in the industry, but I don't think he has voiced any JoJo so far. I also could not realise his voice, because all the roles I know him from have..."irregular voices" (e.g. Panda from Shirokuma Café who has a "cutesy" voice; Koro-sensei from Assassination Classroom who has a...weird voice; Joker from P5 who doesn't speak at all) (sorry I haven't watched 7DS so I don't know how King sounds like)

There may be other JoJo cast in the movie, but somehow the credit scene only shows the VA for the protagonists.)

[This scene from Battle Tendency

Literal end battle spoiler so yeah]

[Appendix: If you are also a JoJo fan interested, try finding out the Japanese dub cast for Spiderverse (both movies). You'll be surprised by the amount of JoJo VA (and famous VA tbh) in the cast.

For one, Miles' voice is Giorno's. Sadly the Netflix version of Into the Spiderverse does not have the Japanese dub (in my region at least)

seriously don't become familiarised with jojo or you'll be like me associating everything with jojo]

#If you didn't know Sono Chi No Sadame is the first OP of JoJo #And also the coolest anime song I know #If you have watched Mutant Mayhem you'll know the anime #You legit can't miss it #I want to rave about it so bad but I'm afraid I would spoil #But after rewatching RotTMNT the anime energy in the movie is so strong #I also blasted You Say Run when I watched it the first time #Seriously there need to be a trend of 'Everything Goes with SONO CHI NO SADAME' #infodump #rottmnt

Matchup for @chrysanthemum-00

Your Gintama matchup is...

Toshiro Hijikata

-He is a calm guy, most of the time, and he’ll gladly help when you need to interact with people. Toushiro perfectly understands when your anxiety is getting the best of you and will easily do all the talking, so you can relax for a bit.

-Please, play your instruments for him, it can be whatever you want, but he loves both knowing you are so skillful and the peace that you create; it’s like being in a paradisiac bubble that only you two can share.

-As good as you are at cooking…don’t cook anything for Toshiro. He’ll ruin it with mayonnaise, the mayo-freak doesn’t deserve any of your goods.

-You know so many languages!! He is a bit of a dumbass, so he won’t ask you if he can learn something, but Toshirou loves hearing you speak different languages even if he can’t understand a syllable! If you want to see him become a blushing mess just say that those words meant “I love you” or some pet name; the sight of stuttering lovesick Toshiro is wonderful.

#gintama matchup #these aren't boring don't worry! #I do matchups just once in a while but when I receive a normal amount of request it is fine

imagine/scenario for zenzo, hijikata, and katsura cuddling with a s/o who's been down in the dumps for a while? 🥺

A/N: Thank you for the ask Sweat Pea!! I changed it a bit and made it a reader-insert kind of thing. I hope it doesn’t bother you too much!! Lastly, I hope you are alright Anony. I know that my words might sound empty especially from a stranger, but I truly hope that you feel better and that you get out from whatever dark time that you might be going through right now. I wrote this imagine/scenario in hopes that you can also feel my feelings of comfort through them.

One more thing. I will like to share one of my favorite quotes from Gintama. I also hope this helps you in whatever way you need it. :)

“The night is darkest just before dawn. But keep your eyes open; if you avert your eyes from the dark, you’ll be blind from the rays of a new day… So keep your eyes open, no matter how dark the night ahead may be.” -Sakata Gintoki

~Mrs. Sakata

Masterlist

Rules

Hattori Zenzou

Zenzou noticed the change of mood immediately. He wasn’t sure what caused it, or what was happening, but he knew something was not right. You had a forced expression in your eyes as you looked a him from doorstep of his home.

Leaning forward, he helped you into his home before helping you take off your shoes. Maneuvering you through his house without triggering traps, he finally made you settled down onto the tatami mat of his room before he laid out a futon for you to lay on.

Confused for a moment, you looked at him questioningly before he shrugged,

“Just lay down.”

Curious, you laid down and he right next to you. Bringing you into his embrace, he started soothingly caress your hair before he spoke, “I don’t know whats wrong, but you can let it out now. I’m here for you.”

As if like magic words, your eyes opened the flood gates and soon you were quietly sobbing into his shoulder. Sniffling a few times, you took a deep breath before continuing on. Zenzou just quietly soothed you as you were letting out your bottled emotions, and gave you a tissue before letting you bury your face onto him to continue. After a while, you quieted down and he looked down. You were fast asleep, and he wiped away the tear streaked cheeks of yours.

Pulling away a little to fix your positions into a more comfortable one, he combed your hair out of your face before he started to trace your lips softly. Kissing your forehead in comfort, he whispered, “You don’t have to shoulder everything by yourself.”

Cracking an eye open after a whole, you sighed quietly, “I know..”

He smiled, and his eyes sparkled a little before he mumbled, “Let’s nap. We will talk about it later.”

You nodded and instinctively you pushed yourself into his arms and buried your face onto his wet shirt. Cuddling as if it was the end of the world for both of you. You took in another deep breath, but this time full of his unique scent before mumbling sleepily, 

“Mhm…Later.”

Hijikata Toshirou

Hijikata had gone to visit you. Today was one of those rare moments when he had some time in his hands, and decided that today was the perfect day to surprise you with his presence. Maybe today will be the day he will take you out to watch that movie that you he wanted to watch. Or maybe to that cafe you had mentioned casually when you texted him earlier that week. Or maybe taking a stroll at the park through the snow to look at the people having fun.

Now that he thought about it, you had only texted him a few times during the week and now he had become worried about you.

Finally arriving at your place, he knocked and called out your name. Seeing that you didn’t answer; he was about to turn around and leave before he finally came to the conclusion that there might be something going on with you. Deciding to intrude into your place, he walked in and took of his shoes in the foyer.

He entered the dining room, and found you looking at your pet play from the kotatsu. You were hunched over and resting your head on the table, and didn’t notice him looking at you with a soft gaze that quickly turned into worried one. Your usual brightness was dulled out and seemed quite sad. Your usually expression quite not there. Sighing, he finally sat down next to you and cleared his throat.

Looking around, you saw your significant other laid on the table as well looking at you with one of those soft gazes he rarely gave you. You smiled sadly, and laid back down looking towards him.

“I didn’t hear you enter.”

“I called out from outside, but you didn’t answer and I imagined you were busy.”

You made a noise before asking, “But you entered anyways?”

He nodded, “I was worried. You haven’t texted as much as usual. Are you alright?” 

There was a silence before you leaned into him and buried your face into his clothes. Taking a deep breath, you leaned back and looked at him with whatever you were feeling, being an honest open book.

“No, but I will be with time.”

“Do you want to talk about it?”

You shook your head and only said, “No, but please hold me. At least for now. I will tell you when I’m ready.”

Hijikata gave you a rare smile before he wrapped an arm around you and made you lean into him more, as much as sitting down allowed. He kissed you softy before speaking into your hair, 

”I can do that.”

Katsura Kotaro

It had been a few weeks since they saw each other and now Katsura needed to go into hiding again after pissing off the Shinsegumi a little to much this time around. Deciding that the best place to hide and finally spend time with the person he loved was at their home; he made his way towards his lover.

He had entered through the window that they always left open in case he needed to hide. The room was bare except for some essentials he had been purposely leaving behind for when he stayed. The house was quiet, and there wasn’t any sign of movement outside the room. A little puzzled, knowing that his significant other was always around at this time of the day, looked around the house until he stopped in front of your room. He thought of just leaving you alone. For him it was not right for a man to disrespect a single woman by entering her room uninvited, but he knew something was not right with the scene.

Opening the room and peeking in, he saw you laying on your futon, looking out towards the open window. Closing the door behind him quietly; he slowly made his way towards you. Ready to scare you, but he was stopped on his tracks and saw a single tear roll down your face.

He stared at you with surprise, but you kept looking at the window. He finally made some noise, and you immediately looked over at the source only to see him. Wiping your tear away quickly, you forced a smile and welcomed him with the most cheerful voice you could muster,

“Oh my! Welcome back Katsura!! Oh my, I didn’t think you will be here today of all days. Let me prepare you some te-”

You made to sit up and leave until Katsura stooped down and leaned over you. Surprised, you leaned back onto your futon and looked into his eyes questioningly. Examining you with his gaze, he finally let himself fall on top of you and forced you to lay back down.

“Katsura, what are-”

“You haven’t been feeling well, right? Let’s just lay down like this for a while.”

Your heart thumped loudly, but you ran your hand through his hair. After a while, he moved off you and laid down next to you, bringing you into his warm embrace. Feeling comforted, you pressed your nose into his clothes and smelled his soft scent. 

“Want to talk about it?”

You shook your head a little, but that didn’t stop some of your tears to fall, “Not right now… let me just hold you for now.” 

He kissed your forehead and wiped a few of those strays off your skin. Sweetly, he kissed each cheek and then softly pressed his lips on each eye before tucking your head under his,

“I will be here until you’re ready.”

You sighed, and softly spoke, “Thank you… Kotarou…”

Bleach, From Pilot to Ch. 423: Things I Forgot Or Were Excluded From The Anime

Turns out I had forgotten a lot of things tho they might not seem that important. Anyway, the list is long so I’ll keep it under the cut. It’s a bit messy but I was just writing it as I was reading and then I somehow expected myself to remember what I was talking about. Posting it for anybody else who could use the reminder.

Please keep in mind that I’m pretty sure the translation I was reading wasn’t a 100% correct but I couldn’t be bothered to find a better one. Seems like it improved later on but I’d still take it with a grain of salt. (Like I’m pretty sure this translator couldn’t read hiragana properly, and some names were really messed up.)

- I did not know there was a pilot chapter so yeah... that entire thing I guess. - Orihime being that open about her crush from the beginning - Orihime’s parents being such cruel people - Orihime’s hairpins being a gift from Sora - The backstory of the mod souls - Chad’s crazy about cute things - Keigo is from Naruki City, not Karakura - Mizuiro being really popular with girls - Renji and Byakuya with weird hoods, idk if that was part of the anime and so far there’s been a part from the anime that wasn’t in the manga (The part with Ichigo seeing Rukia fight a hollow in town before she comes into his room) - Orihime is bad with electronics - Ishida is poor - Tatsuki told Orihime that she is probably at the level of a black belt in karate (I don’t know if she was honest about that but she said it) - Orihime is really dang smart - I forgot Nemu was technically Mayuri’s daughter -Also Mayuri is awful, he belongs in worst dad club with Isshin (I also didn’t remember Isshin being SUCH a creep but I guess I forgot to write that earlier. Or I just decided not to since reviewing this list afterwards I realize I left some other creepy things out.) - Mayuri can turn into liquid - Zanpakutou Materializing Dolls, and other artefacts. So many artefacts. Never to be mentioned or used ever again. - Kira feeling super guilty over raising a sword at Hinamori. - Orihime just chilling with Yachiru, Ikkaku, and Yumichika after the was separated from Uryuu. Oh and Zaraki’s there too. - Hisagi having been accepted as a shinigami before he passed the exams, expected to become a seated officer - Rukia idolised Kaien’s wife - That Komamura was that loyal to Yamamoto - I remember Kenpachi fighting Komamura and Tousen, not picking a fight with Komamura, Tousen, Iba, and Hisagi. Neither did I remember Ikkaku and Yumichika joining in, it’s just entirely gone from my memory - Byakuya’s scarf is a really expensive heirloom. - Byakuya was really cold in the beginning, supposedly not caring about his subordinates (idk if he really changed later on but this stood out to me in the moment. Also speaking of Byakuya, I think he seemed older to me when watching the anime because of the voice.) - Really I had forgotten a lot about the animosity between Byakuya and Renji - Rukia doesn’t refer to Gin as “Captain Ichimaru” and he doesn’t mind since they’ve “known eachother for so long”. Apparently she’s deathly afraid of him. - Kaname got his zanpakutou from the grave of the lady he liked? I’ve always wondered how people get their zanpakutous anyway ‘cause I don’t think Zaraki had any training and I’m pretty sure it’s the same sword he had when he met Yachiru, yet Zangetsu comments on how the sword is crying. (I’m also curious about if people could potentially wield other zanpakutous, which I think is a thing in the quincy arc but I’m talking like... normal people. I think it’d be neat since there’s already two people that have just... picked up a zanpakutou before they even became shinigamis.) - Rikichi! He’s such a big fan of Renji! He got Hanatarou out of jail just to help Renji. He didn’t only get him a new uniform but also a hair tie and a bandana. I’m a little sad that he never seems to show up ever again? (At least I don’t remember him being in the quincy arc but that’ll have to be it’s own list I guess) - Ukitake and Kyouraku stopping and destroying Soukyoku - Kiyone calling Isane sister. - Soifon getting ready to take out Kiyone and the other vice-captain. - Kyouraku being praised for being the best at seeing the true character of anyone he meets, and Ukitake always being the centre of a crowd although (frail, but affable and kind) - Yamamoto thinking of Ukitake and Kyouraku as sons - Katen Kyoukotsu and Sogyo no Kotowari are the only zanpakutous that exist in pairs (allegedly) (I don’t remember why I wrote allegedly but I had some thought behind it......) - Soi Fong’s name was Shaolin Fong until she inherited her grandmother’s code name. - Soi Fong not being angry with Yoruichi because she ran away, but because she didn’t take her with her - Iba having been part of the 11th division, but becoming Komamura’s vice-captain (supposedly for his mom) - Iba wanting to get a chance to fight Ichigo - Byakuya only showing Senkei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi to people he wants to kill personally, Ichigo being the second person. I can’t recall if the first person was ever revealed? - Kira going along with the scheme and leading away Hitsugaya and Matsumoto from the Central 46 chambers. He was told they wouldn’t do anything to Hinamori - Hinamori joined the Gotei 13 because she admired Aizen, which would imply she met him before the soul burial training accident, but idk if that’s a translation mistake - Unohana confronting Aizen in the Central 46 chambers and calling him a treacherous reprobate - How Kyoka Suigetsu works. I forgot that for it to work on someone they need to see the release, and that after that the person who saw it will be completely hypnotised every time he releases it from then on. - Aizen was certain that he could use all three of Kira, Hinamori, and Renji back when they first met, but Renji was problematic so he was sent on to squad 11 while Kira and Hinamori were made Aizen and Gin’s vice-captains - Ichigo and Renji trying to fight Aizen together - Ichigo being a fucking monster! Who stays conscious after having their stomach cut open like that? In the anime it was just a really bad slash but since the manga is a but more graphic I’m only now like “oh wow that is really fucking bad” - There were names for the four basic types of combat for shinigamis. Zanjutsu(sword skills), Hakuda(hand-to-hand combat), Hohou(foot work), and Kidou. - Hollowfication is brought up this early, but I guess it makes sense because he’s explaining the Hougyoku. - Urahara, not Aizen, hid the Hougyoku inside Rukia. - Urahara was exiled for creating an intractable gigai? I don’t think so Aizen, but okay. Also he was trying to turn Rukia into a human soul. Hm. - Komamura coming in to destroy Aizen mid-monologue. Thank you. (After reading Ichigo’s last fight with Aizen I am so tired of him talking aaahhhhh!) - All the gate guardians except for Jidanbou are traitors, Kuukaku shows up with Jidanbou (was this in the anime???) - I remember Ichigo hanging out with squad 11 after the whole Aizen thing, but I did not remember Iba being there too which is nice. They didn’t get to spar tho. - Matsumoto and Kira getting drunk and venting about Gin, though it’s portrayed pretty comically. Matsumoto proceeds to invite pretty much anyone who passes by, except for Kyouraku. - Ryuuken is part of the shitty dad club. - Shinigami Isshin was revealed pretty much right after Shinji, I didn’t remember it being so early. - Also I didn’t remember the protection charm either but hey it worked. - Did- Did Orihime really only get to use Tsubaki ONCE?? - Also that entire fight with Yammy and Ulquiorra is just so much bloodier than in the anime - That moment when Ichigo tells Chad to leave D.Roy to him and Chad runs away, that hurt, ow my heart - Keigo being there to watch Ikkaku fight Eduardo. Also Keigo having a chat with Yumichika. - Ikkaku losing his molars in the fight with Eduardo is. - Yumichika going “oh and btw, make preparations for Ikkaku’s funeral” - Flashback about Ikkaku fighting Zaraki in the past. - Ikkaku being determined to fight and die under Kenpachi’s command. - Ururu kicking Ilfordt in the face- I mean Ururu going in to exterminate Ilfordt. - References to Toshirou’s bankai being incomplete. - Shawlong being the first arrancar to be created. (Allegedly? Supposedly? Succesfully? It depends on a lot, it’s a bit of an assumption.) - The power limit that is placed on captains and vice-captains when they go to the world of the living is symbolised by the division’s symbol. Oh and it takes away 80% of their power. Motherfucking damn bitch Ikkaku. Also good job Rukia. (I don’t remember what these last two sentences are refering to tbh) - Tatsuki watching the fight (I’m assuming the first) between Ichigo and Grimmjow, or at least part of it. - I guess I forgot to mention this earlier but Orihime being jealous of Rukia and her relationship with Ichigo - Tousen really not liking Grimmjow because he causes discord - Ichigo trying the beat the answers out of the Vaizards. - Goddamn Ichigo has a lot of attitude. - Urahara telling Orihime that she would be a burden in battle and Rukia talking to her afterwards. Orihime and Rukia need more talks. - Orihime getting kidnapped by Hiyori. - Hachi having similar abilities as Orihime. - Hachi also suggesting against Orihime fighting the war. - Orihime being so determined to fight. Goddamn I wish Tsubaki wasn’t her only way of doing damage. Give her one of those funky artefacts for fuck’s sake. - Yumichika not getting along with “Fujikujaku”. - The trees in Hueco Mundo are made of something quartz-like - Ulquiorra complimenting Orihime on her looks (Tbh I’ve forgotten about this scene again but I don’t think I intended to lie to my future self so I’m assuming it might’ve been something vague) - Orihime planning to reject the Hougyouku with her powers to destroy it, why don’t I see more about that?? - Wonderweiss being fond of Tousen. - Szayel sending out the execution squad after Dordoni - Only Grimmjow ever uses Gran Rey Cero (Idk if I ever really thought otherwise but it’s on the list so I guess it’s a confirmation I wanted to make) - Tesla threatening to destroy the Shun Shun Rikka - Nnoitra using Nel as a shield when Ichigo attacks at one point - Nnoitra and Neliel didn’t even fight after he tore off Dondochakka and Pesche’s masks in the flashback wtf. Now that I think of it, I’ve never seen manga screenshots of that part so I guess it’s only in the anime. Well that’s disappointing. Then what did Szayel even do? (Still sad they don’t fight more in the manga, bluh. Also I’m still not sure what Szayel actually did.) - Nnoitra thinking it a shame that they (him and Neliel I think) won’t get to fight again. - Mayuri observing Uryuu through bacteria, and Uryuu calling him out for violating human rights - Szayel rebirthing himself from Nemu, wtf. I’m not sure if that was in the anime. (Okay it was, she just didn’t get straight-up pregnant) - I also forgot about Szayel taking over Konjiki Ashisogi Jizou - The Jesus Szayel and Baphomet Mayuri chapter pages were new to me - Mayuri to Nemu: “Good job, keep suffocating Uryuu with your tiddies. If he dies, he dies.” - Nnoitra, after releasing Santa Teresa: “Kinda sexy, isn’t it?” (I don’t trust this translation a 100% but what was written was “I look sexy, right?”) - And Zaraki responding with “your reiatsu is making me hard…” - The Living World as seen through the Garganta in Las Noches is upside-down - Hikifune and the Royal Guard being mentioned during Turn Back The Pendulum - Hiyori looking up to Hikifune as a mother - Urahara being Commander of the Detention Unit in the 2nd Division, and the unit keeping people who wanted to withdraw from the Gotei 13, not just criminals. - Urahara making Mayuri his Vice Captain in the research institute - Barragan’s fraccions having packed together his throne and brought it with them - I can’t believe Charlotte’s magical girl scene was only in the anime but I suppose it makes sense - Hisagi’s fight with Findor  was also shorter in the manga which is… kind of a shame? Idk it was pretty well made in the anime, but I guess it’s because they were just coming back from a break and all. - Hisagi and Kira stopping Yumichika from rushing in after Ikkaku was beaten, Komamura stepping in to take care of the arrancar… whose name I’ve already forgotten once again. - Iba calling Ikkaku out for not using his bankai and punching him in the face. Good. I like Ikkaku but the pillar did get destroyed because of him so it was a pretty bad move. - Hinamori making a kidou net - Kira used to be in the 4th division, did I already write that? - The Gran Rey Cero being forbidden to use inside of Las Noches but leave it to Grimmjow not to care about any of that - Kyouka Suigetsu’s ability can be cancelled by grabbing the blade. - They sent Aizen to Avici, or I guess a prison named after Avici - Yamamoto scolding Byakuya, Shunsui, and Kenpachi for losing their captain’s haori and they proceed to insult it - They actually mention Mayuri going back to Hueco Mundo

#bleach #long post #i've been sick for a few days so i had time to wrap this up since i'm just stuck in bed anyway

[gamechangeroo]

hello i just wanted to say i read your gintoshi fics and they are the best things that ever happened to me. thank you so much I'm truly grateful. i noticed smthing tho on the last lines: “For this last one,” he said, biting down with a quick swallow, “I’m telling her I’ll take care of you. If she’ll let me, I’ll take care of her... Toshirou.” - did u mean 'If she’ll let me, I’ll take care of you'? srry to bother, u dont have to answer, i just wanted to point it out in case u meant that

I’m glad you enjoyed those fics, anon!

While I am one of those errant, beta-less writers who occasionally finds grammatical mistakes in my works from three years ago that make me question the purpose of my own existence, I can say that that particular line is written that way entirely on purpose!

To complete the line without the dramatic pause, it comes out as, “If she’ll let me, I’ll take care of her Toshirou.”

The ‘her’ is there in that case because Gintoki is acknowledging the relationship Toshirou and Mitsuba share, even to this day. The pause is there for Gintoki to finally work up the balls to speak the name he was meaning to say all along. In sum, with that line I was trying to have Gintoki demonstrating a mixture of respect and maturing sentiment…

Although, that was just my intent and readers are welcome to interpret the line however they like. I’m a big proponent of the death of the author school of literary thought. Once the story’s out there, it’s nobody’s sole real estate anymore.

Appearances Can Be Deceiving

I’m back with another one-shot, this time a hilarious adventure with Isshin I had always wanted to write, and only had the chance now.

You can also read it here.

Prompt: “it’s not what it looks like!” 

Summary: Isshin’s latest attempt at listening through Ichigo’s door finally brings results.

Isshin was enjoying a rare afternoon by himself. It was a Sunday and all of his children were out. Karin was in the park, playing soccer, while Yuzu had gone to a friend’s house to bake brownies. Even Ichigo had gone to the movies with his friends ─at least Isshin really hoped they were, in fact, in the movies, and not out saving the world from yet another power-thirsty villain. Being alone meant that he could get to relax in ways he never could these days. He began by boiling water in a kettle, and taking out a tea mix he had been eager to try (call him old fashion, but he preferred mixes to bags). While the water boiled, he went and grabbed the book he had bought around a year ago, that he had never gotten to read. Taking out his favorite mug, he poured the water and added the tea. Isshin blew on it and then took a hearty sip. Ah. It was perfect. With his mug in hand, he made his way to the living room, ready to get down to read. However, just as he had sat down, he heard a weird noise. For a few seconds he sat on the couch, perplexed. When the noise wasn’t heard again, he opened his book, a novel about a man whose children were always getting into trou─

Thud

Huh. There it was again. Isshin looked up, down and sideways but could not pin point exactly where it had come from. Nothing had fallen down as far as he could see. It hadn’t even sounded as something hitting the floor, it was more like the sound of─

Thud

Thudthudthudthud

That piqued his interest. As the noises had sounded close together, he finally realized whatever that was, was coming from upstairs. Leaving both the book and the mug on top of the coffee table, Isshin slowly stood up, careful of not making noises. He then tiptoed as he went upstairs. His first instinct was to think there was a burglar. It was still early and bright outside for a robbery, but you never know these days. Then, he thought it could have been related to the Soul Society. It was no secret to him that several Shinigami often came to his house in search of his son. So far none had seen him, and for that he was glad, because he really couldn’t imagine what Rangiku and Toshirou-kun would think of seeing him again after so many years, living a human life. They would probably beat his ass fir disappearing all those years ago. Still, peeking into Ichigo’s room wouldn’t hurt. He had to make sure no foe was after his son.

As Isshin approached the door, he heard the thud even more strongly. Jackpot! He was about to slam the door open when he noticed there were voices coming from the room. Sure enough, they sounded exactly like Ichigo and Rukia-chan. The father blinked, for a moment left taken aback. Weren’t they watching a movie? His surprise gave way to shock when he heard what sounded distinctly like a feminine moan. Not wasting another minute, he pressed his ear to the door.

“Don’t be so loud, Rukia.” It was Ichigo who was talking. His voice husky.

“I-I can’t h-help it.” The girl all but whined.

Isshin almost yelped.

No.

It couldn’t be!

Where they…?

Thud

Moan

Thudthudthud

Oh.

They totally were.

They were going at it hard, by the sounds of it.

And with him in the house too!

What a pair of rascals!

(Though Isshin couldn’t really fault them. They had been apart for seventeen long months. If his dear Masaki and he had been separated for so long when they were young, he was sure they probably wouldn’t have left the room in a week. Maybe even more.)

He almost laughed to himself. Of course. He tended to forget sometimes that his soon was a teenager, a healthy one at that. He would definitely have urges, especially being so close to such a beautiful girl he was totally in love with, because, come on, Ichigo was in love with Rukia. There was no other explanation to his moodiness whenever she was gone. Isshin smiled. If this kept up, one day he would be the proud grandfather of a cute little child. He wondered if the baby would look more like his son or like Rukia-chan. Perhaps the kid would even look like Masaki. He couldn’t wait!

Isshin’s happiness was over, however, when he realized this was not the first time he had heard sounds coming from his son’s room. Each previous time had ended up in disappointment at finding Ichigo and Rukia-chan were most definitely not engaging in adult activities. Could this be a fake alarm too?! No! That would dampen his dreams of a child with orange hair and violet eyes! In a split second, the father decided to keep listening and put an ear to the door once more. He listened to more thuds. Closing his eyes, Isshin tried to imagine what they could be doing that could elicit such noises. The most obvious reason would be repeatedly banging against the bed. Yet, it could also come from the desk, the wall… or even the closet…

Could Ichigo be on those leagues now?!

His nose started bleeding.

No, Isshin, you gotta focus!

Shaking his head, he resumed thinking. There was a chance one of them was jumping on the bed, although that wouldn’t necessarily explain the moans. And speaking of which,

“Ah… aaaahhh.”

“Rukia! I told you to be quiet! Dad’s home and he doesn’t know we’re in here.”

“I-it’s your f-fault! Y-you’re g-going t-too… ah… har-aaah”

Thudthudthudthud

“C-can’t help it. We rarely get the chance to be like this.”

“I-ichigo.”

“Hmmm. That’s how I like it. Keep saying my name, Rukia.”

Yep.

They were having sex.

Now, any other father would have probably been alarmed, but not Isshin. He completely understood his son. It was a Shiba man thing to be passionate to a fault, and that did not exclude bedroom activities. Why, he could still remember that time Ryuuken had accidentally walked in on Masaki and him at the clinic on his off day. The man had screeched bloody murder, and though they had been interrupted, it had been a funny anecdote to retell during family reunions. Ryuuken always got red in the face, but it wasn’t as if he was one to talk. He still remembered the time Masaki had overheard him and Kanae-san having some alone moments in his room. Ah! To be young and in love!

Then, as if he had been drenched by a bucket of ice cold water, Isshin froze.

How could he be so dumb as to forget?!

Worry that the two weren’t using protection suddenly overcame him. Though he had given the talk to Ichigo as extensively as possible, he was reminded of the fact his son was a horny teen who tended to be reckless. Then there was Rukia who probably had no idea about human contraceptives. It was a recipe for disaster. More exactly, it was exactly how one got pregnant. Oh, he didn’t even want to imagine it! Not only would his own son become a teenage father, he would knock up Rukia, aka the sister of one of the most protective captains in the Soul Society, without being married. There was no way Byakuya-kun would not want to castrate Ichigo, or worse, kill him for good. No! Isshin could not allow that to happen. He loved his son too much to let him die by the hands of a very pissed off Shinigami. He needed to make sure the two of them were being safe or, at the very least, stop them before Ichigo could reach past the point of no return.

Opening the door as fast as he could, Isshin barged in screaming, “No, son! Don’t do it! I don’t want you to die!”

“What the hell, old man?!”

He opened his eyes, which had been closed beforehand, and instead of seeing the images his perverted mind had concocted of his son and third daughter bare naked on the bed (or perhaps in other places of the room), he saw both of them, fully dressed, attempting to tickle one another.

“Wha─?” He blurted out, dumbfounded.

“What are you doing here?! And why did you come in like that?!” Ichigo complained, finally sitting down on his bed properly, and he crossed his arms, clearly annoyed.

“B-but… what… I thought you… you were…”

“Where what?”

“I thought you were at the movies!” Isshin exclaimed.

His son sighed. “Plan got cancelled. Keigo came up with the flu and pretty much got everyone sick. Rukia and I are hiding here.”

That made sense.

But…

“And what were you doing in here with the door closed?” He asked, suspiciously.

At least the two had the decency to blush. “It-it’s not what it looks like!” Both stammered.

“We were just having a tickle fight.”

“A tickle fight?” He was still not buying it.

“Yeah, a tickle fight.” Ichigo nodded. “Just that.”

“You sure?”

“Positive.”

“Hmm.”

“But why did you barge in?” He questioned.

“Yeah, and why did you say Ichigo was going to die?” Rukia-chan asked him.

Isshin felt ashamed. He wasn’t about to tell them what he thought was going down. His son already thought he was a pervert, he didn’t need to add to that. “Well, I heard strange noises and thought you were being attacked! That’s right! I was concerned!”

Both teens raised an eyebrow as they looked at each other. Finally, Ichigo looked back at him. “Eh… Alright… Though if I was being attacked, I doubt I’d go down that easily.”

“Yeah… right…”

“Are you gonna go now?”

“Huh? Oh yeah! Continue whatever you were doing! I won’t bother you anymore!”

On that note, Isshin dashed out of the room and back to the living room. Once by himself, he started chuckling to himself. Of course his son was still too innocent to be doing such activities. Well, maybe if he waited longer until he was older, he’d be more rational and remember to use protection, so that his poor father wouldn’t have to worry about his untimely demise due to sakura petals.

“Eh. One day I’ll get my grandkids.” He muttered, opening his long forgotten book.

Unbeknownst to him, back in Ichigo’s room, the two young Shinigami had collapsed on the bed. If he had taken time to notice, he would’ve seen how ruffled their clothes were, and that Ichigo was wearing his shirt backwards.

“That was too close.” Rukia complained, burying her head on the pillow.

“This wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t been so loud.” Ichigo retorted, grumpily joining her on the bed.

“I told you I couldn’t help it!” She defended herself, blushing.

“Che. You’re right. I love listening to you like that.” He grinned, tenderly caressing her cheek.

Rukia coughed before continuing. “It’s your fault, anyway. You forgot to lock the door.”

“Fuck.” Ichigo cursed as he stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“To lock the damn door!”

Rukia smirked impishly at him. “Oh? So Kurosaki-kun wants to go back to playing?”

“Don’t call me like that, and you bet! Or what? You wanna stop? You weren’t close yet.”

“Nu-uh. Give it to me, Kurosaki Ichigo.”

“Do you want all of it?”

“Hell yes!”

More thudding could be heard, but Isshin ignored all of it. It was no possible the noise could mean anything more than a tickle fight… right?

Sadly, he was unaware that, for the first time ever, he had been absolutely right.

19, Ginhiji

Soulmate au prompts, number 19: the soulmates are reincarnated and keep finding each other throughout their lives

“That guy over there is totally checking you out,” Okita said, a mischievous smile on his face.

“Which guy?”

“Table in the corner, blue jacket, weird hair. See, he keeps looking over here. I think he likes you!”

Hijikata scowled. “Don’t be ridiculous.”

“Aw, come on, Hijikata-san. Would it kill you to have a little fun once in a while? I thought that’s why you agreed to come out with us tonight!”

“I agreed to go for a few drinks at a bar. You brought me to a nightclub.”

Okita laughed. “Hey, it’s a nightclub with a bar in it though. Speaking of which, I’m gonna go up for a refill. Be right back.”

“Mhm, sure.”

Hijikata took a sip of his own drink, listening to the club’s too-loud music system blaring out yet another upbeat pop song, and wondered if he should just go home. He knew Okita would never let him hear the end of it if he did call it quits now, but he really didn’t think this kind of place was for him. Maybe he’d be better off at home.

“Hey,” a voice said, interrupting Hijikata’s thoughts. When he looked up, the man with the blue jacket and the weird hair was standing in front of him.

Hijikata groaned internally. Okita had been right- another thing he was never going to hear the end of.

“Can I help you?” he asked, trying to strike a balance between ‘appropriately polite’ and ‘I’m really not interested, go away’.

“Yeah, uh…” the stranger hesitated. “Ok, this is gonna sound weird, but, have we ever met before? I feel like I know you.”

Hijikata raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think so.”

“Are you sure?”

“Pretty sure.” 

“Your face just looks so familiar to me,” the other man said, staring hard at him. “It’s driving me crazy trying to place where I’ve seen you before.”

If this was some sort of pick-up line, it was the strangest one Hijikata had ever experienced. He set down his drink and stared back, mentally searching for somewhere he might have seen this man before.

“I don’t know, man, I really don’t think….hang on.” Hijikata frowned. He was remembering something, something very faint. A series of semi-clear images flickered to life in his mind- a white house by a lake shore, a column of black smoke against a picturesque sunset sky, a window box full of yellow flowers, and an old wooden sword.

“I do know you,” he said quietly. “I’ve dreamed about you before.”

The other man’s eyes widened. “Oh my god. That’s it, that’s where I’ve seen you before, in those dreams.”

Hijikata frowned, thinking. After a moment, he glanced up, looking for Okita- he was still at the bar, chatting with some of the other club-goers. But he could be back any moment.

“Come with me,” Hijikata said, making a spur-of-the-moment decision and grabbing the other man’s hand. He pulled him through the crowd, walking quickly, and headed for the club’s back exit.

“Wow, dude,” the man in the blue jacket said as they made their way out into the alleyway behind the club. “Not even gonna buy me a drink first, huh?”

Fortunately, Hijikata had enough experience dealing with Okita to recognize that playful, teasing tone of voice.

“Shut up. I’m just trying to find somewhere quiet where we can talk.”

They reached the end of the alley, and Hijikata hesitated, wondering which way they should go. But before he could come to a decision, the not-quite-stranger stepped forward, pulling on his hand. “This way,” he said.��

Hijikata should have been wary of that, of letting someone he’d just met lead him to some unknown location. But he wasn’t, for some reason. He followed, without question.

“What’s your name?” he asked as they walked.

“Sakata Gintoki. What’s yours?”

“Hijikata Toshirou.”

Gintoki led Hijikata through a few twists and turns, finally ducking into a dead-end corridor that had once led to an old arcade that had closed down years ago.

“Here. No one should bother us here.”

“You know this is technically trespassing.”

“So?”

“I’m a cop!”

“Oh. Well, it should be fine if you do it, right?”

Hijikata sighed. “No, that’s not how it works. But it’s fine, it doesn’t matter. I don’t think anyone will mind.”

“Nice. So,” Gintoki said, sliding down the wall to sit on the cold tile floor, “we’ve both dreamed about each other before. Like, multiple times. What does that mean?”

Hijikata sat down next to Gintoki. “Have you…have you ever heard the stories about…soulmates?”

Gintoki blinked. “Uh. I mean, yeah. You don’t think that’s what this is, do you?”

“I don’t know.” Hijikata shrugged. This was definitely the weirdest conversation he’d ever had. “What else could it be?”

“Maybe we’re mortal enemies.”

“Oh. Maybe.”

“But, probably not. The more I think about it, the more I remember from the dreams. Most of them seem…nice, I guess. Nostalgic.”

“Well, if this is really, like, a soulmate thing, they might not just be dreams. They might be memories, from past lives.”

Gintoki was silent for a moment, staring at Hijikata again. “If that’s true, then in all our past lives, we were together,” he said.

“I guess so.” Hijikata shook his head. “This is so crazy. What are we even doing here…?”

“Do you want to go back?”

“…No. Not back there, I didn’t mean that. I just want to understand how this whole thing works.”

“Well, let’s start by talking a little,” Gintoki suggested. “We can worry about the grand mysteries of the universe later. Let’s start with us, right here, right now. Sound good?”

Hijikata took a deep breath.

“Yeah, ok. So talk, Sakata Gintoki. Tell me what you’ve been up to this lifetime.”

Thank you so much for the ask! This is a fun concept to play with, for sure. I think both Gintoki and Hijikata would have a little bit of a hard time accepting the whole reincarnation thing at first (especially in a more modern setting), but once they got to know each other better, they wouldn’t care as much. It’s enough to be together with your soulmate, is how I think they’d feel : )

Prompt from this list!

What do you think of bleach's ending?

How cool to be asked about my fave manga before Naruto. But first let me say that I haven’t followed the last 2 arcs with the same interest I had for Naruto’s, so my impression is not as deep. Also how does it work in the Bleach fandom? I take there are antis and wars and hate everywhere? But all my ship hate/ending criticism is tagged as anti, if someone has a problem with it anyway I couldn’t care less.

Ok first of all I don’t remember a lot of details, and I didn’t get others lol, cause Bleach fight scenes are confusing and arcs are repetitive, it’s like Kubo has nice ideas when it comes to style and design but he is lazy with narration. Especially in the last 2 arcs. For example Yamamoto dying and being replaced by Kyoraku was ok, but Ukitake and the whole Mimihagi thing..not sure if I liked it. The Unohana/Jinpachi plot twist was kinda cool but I why did she had to die ugh I kinda shipped them. Also where the hell is Yachiru in the end? AND KIRA? I forgot about the Vizard but I like them. Oh and what the hell happened in the final fight between Ichigo and Yhwach? It was so confusing? I never really liked Aizen but him released to fight alongside Ichigo was a cool move. If only I understood what happened, that is.

I didn’t get some fights but I liked the new interaction certain fights provided, like older Bankai Toshirou and Byakuya’s panel in ch672, or Byakuya and Shuuhei against that heart throwing guy whose name I forgot. 

What I always liked about Bleach was the style, I really like how sleek and powerful Kubo draws his characters, I like how diverse he made the different races, with different language based words and stuff, the music references, the poetry Kubo put in his writing, he’s got an artist-like vibe imo, more than other mangakas. Anyway I like his female characters better than Naruto’s, cause they have a more independent and interesting personality, although I have a problem with Rukia’s hairstyle and with Orihime’s anything. Actually I don’t even hate her, as a comic side character she was funny, but as a heroine? Just give me Rukia, Tatsuki, Matsumoto, even Momo, but not her. But I don’t make the rules and shounen law needs the main character to get together with big tits/whiny girl. 

So as you can tell I don’t like the main canon pairing. I liked Ichiruki much better cause there was an actual deep friendship between them, from day 1, a strong bond with mutual feelings of trust and affection. Mutual. And they were equals, there was no weak girl to be protected cause Rukia had first given Ichigo the power. But from a logical pov I guess they’re from different worlds so the pairing wouldn’t work considering the future. Rukia would have had to do like Ichigo’s father, giving up to her shinigami powers and all. It would have been romantic and kinda Inuyasha-esque.

Not considering Ichiruki, if pairings had to exist (cause a manga can actually end without characters getting married, even tho mangakas seem to forget it) I’d have liked Ichigo with Tatsuki. Sorry I like strong characters getting with strong characters. And don’t give me the ‘Ori/hime is strong’ cause her strength is different, hyped up by the narration and anyway even considering her kind of strenght she would have matched other kinds of characters better. I liked her with Ulquiorra lol, back in the days. Cause he was like a child, pure in a way, about emotions and feelings, while she was knowledgeable. I also liked her with Ishida. A lot. They had mutual respect and a relationship in which they were equals, so I’d have liked them together much better.

I gotta say though, that I like Ishida alone in the end. He was a Sasuke sort of character, seeking revenge for his clan, being in conflict with his father (since he doesn’t have a brother) in the beginning, rival to the protagonist, joining the dark side at some point. I actually liked his plot twist when he joined the Quincy Army, I liked his backstory, his mother and all (also the soap opera-ish triangle sort of story between his father, Ichigo’s mother and the maid-his mom…like. It really looked like a soap), and I would have liked to know more about his time there cause it was interesting. His fight agaisnt Jugram was cool too. Also he delivered the realest line ever and you guys know how much I love animals and animal-loving characters. I’d love to see that scene animated tbh…also because Ishida’s voice actor is Sasuke’s and hearing him talking that way of animals would be so cool cause both characters share that trait.

I kinda liked Jugram too, and his past with Bazz-B, and the way his fight with Ishida ended. tbh he was the only Sternritter I liked. Oh well I didn’t dislike the fear based one fighting Byakuya cause it gave us so much fanservice, bloodied wounded Byakuya, as well as the later part where we see Byakuya unconscious and all bandaged up floating in water…or Renji naked and bandaged as he wakes up. Speaking of which, I’m a Byaren shipper but mostly I ship Renji with everyone lol, Renji is my favourite character, he’s amazing and underrated, his backstory and personality and bonds were really interesting and it was a pity that he was put aside as the story progressed, as a side character and even more so as a kinda comical sidekick, cause he has a light side but his story wasn’t a light one but if I start talking about him this post will never end I guess, anyway he was deep and selfless, a rebel but also loyal and his relationships, major or minor ones (even with Kira and Momo, or with Ikkaku who taught him how to fight when they were in the 11th division together, cause Renji changed so many!) were all cool. (like, I’m looking at Renji wikia for a detail and I’m back to the old feelings for him)

So even tho I didn’t ship Renruki I was glad to see the way it was done. The final chapters kinda showed them getting closer (like Ichihime that was being blatantly pushed onto the reader, also after the Naruto ending I was suspecting a similar ending so) and they’re both shinigami so their pairing was technically easier than Ichiruki…also his feelings for Rukia, his loyalty and protectiveness and respect for her are beautiful and I like the idea that during the time Ichigo had no powers Rukia and Renji got closer. Also I hate the whole forced kids anime trend but I liked them as parents and their kid a lot, cause they didn’t change personality at all, in fact they’re chill parents, kinda reckless and kinda boastful, you can tell they have a nice complicity and that they’re happy. I think this is the only canon pairing I’ll ever like tbh.

I like that Ichigo took over his father’s clinic, a small one, while Ishida became an important medic. I never liked Sado but the group getting together ad Ichigo’s place to see the match was a cool idea imo. It has the element Naruto’s ending lacked, cause it put together the old group, showing that despite time passed they’re still friends. 

Hope this answers your question, thanks for asking, I had a lot of fun replying to this!

Hello! I would like to know your opinion of the words of the reigals Momo, when they say "if I were the original" before they fell dead ... what do you think they meant by that? Does this mean that Momo feels something more for Toshirou than the childhood friendship? After all, the Reigais are the * improved * clone (if we may call it that) of their original counterpart and have the same feelings as their original counterpart. Thank you very much in advance PS: I do not speak / write in English.

I’ve been waiting to do another Hitsuhina analysis again. Thank you for providing the opportunity, anon! However, I don’t know if I can gleam as much as I have in previous analyses. I remember lady-ackerman did an analysis a long time ago about this scene and what it meant from the reigai Momos perspective, but unfortunately she deactivated her account a long time ago and her post with it (if anyone happens to see the post, feel free to let me know and I’ll link it here).

I’ve always had the mentality that while filler may have nothing to do with the canon story must end with maintaining the status quo, it’s an interesting way to explore characters by putting them in situations that are different from what they’re use to. It allows us to see what is otherwise rarely or not always seen in canon material, such as subtle character traits or relatioships/interactions between charactrs that one mightn’t have considered while reading/viewing the canon material.

With this said, episode 326 offered a few insights into Toshiro and Momo’s relationship and their perceptions of each other. It showed Toshiro can’t stand to see anything created in Momo’s image (whether it’s an ally or an enemy) being harmed or destroyed, and also the extent of his feelings towards Momo, seen when he refuses to harm the reigai, expresses relief that neither of the reigais are the real Momo, and of course, “I made a vow to never hurt…Momo ever again.”

As for what the reigai Momos said, “I wish…I were the original”, in my opinion, it tells us two things. First, it shows that the real Momo doesn’t know the true depth of Toshiro’s care and love for her. Obvisiously the two consider each other friends and care about each other, but I have always gotten the impression that Toshiro’s feelings went well beyond that of platonic love. Momo was ignortant to his feelings because:

1) Toshiro has never fully expressed his feelings for her (he’s not exactly the kind of guy to just, uh…express himself…unless it’s bottled rage unleashed in battle or comedic moments I guess!), and

2) Momo saw Toshiro as a friend, and her adimartion for Aizen dominated her emotions. However, I want to add that I do believe that after the first time-skip and at the beginning of the Full-bringer arc, Momo’s feelings have started to change. We see she has a much more healthy relationship with her new captain, has gotten over Aizen enough to remain a lieutenant, and in chapter 659, that moment where she looks at Toshiro…for me it was proof there’s definitely been a shift in her feelings towards him! She’s concerned for him as always, but there’s something more, FAR more, going on in her gaze.

Back to episode 326, the real Momo’s obliviousness to Toshiro’s feelings is the reason why the her reigai copies are shocked when Toshiro basically says he didn’t mind getting beaten up by them, so long as the real Momo was safe and away from the fray happening all around them. The reigais wish they were the original because they now recognise the extent to which Toshiro loves Momo and would go for her safety and happiness.

The final thing this quote tells us is that if the real Momo were aware of Toshiro’s feelings, she would react positively. She would recognise just how much Toshiro loves her and the lengths he goes to keep her safe. It hints that she may even potentially reciprocate his feelings - the reigais saying they wished to the original suggests the real Momo wished to be loved by someone just like Toshiro loves her, and if she knew his true feelings for her, she would accept them whole-heartedly.

And that’s about it. If there’s anything wants to add, feel free to do so in a reblog. I hope this satisfied your curiousity anon! :D
