hi! i love what youve written so far! your grasp on the characters youve written for is really good! can i request gintoki, hijikata, and tsukuyo on their s/oās birthday? what would they do? thank you so much^^
Thank you for your kind words! Headcanons for Gintoki, Hijikata, and Tsukuyo on their S/Oās birthday, what they would do:
Sakata Gintoki:
Gintoki is, really obviously, a cheapskate as well as Kabukichoās local broke guy. He isnāt one for luxurious gifts, however S/O knows him well enough to not expect that from him. Gintoki tries to make up for this by giving S/O things beyond materialistic value.
Although he is broke, Gintoki still tries to take S/O out on their birthday, somewhere he frequents but wonāt hurt his wallet too much. If the weather doesnāt permit, Gintoki will cook for them, while complaining, of course. (He doesnāt mean it!)
If he and his S/O can go out, he loves to go overboard on this day. Gintoki plans really intricate āCelebrate S/O-chanās birthdayā plans that usually go askew and turn into chaotic yet fun messes. There isnāt a dull moment with Gintoki on this day.
Friends are family to Gintoki, and naturally, he thinks that he should spend this day hanging with his and S/Oās friends. Spending time with the people he cares about makes him cozy inside, and he wants them to experience this too.
Gintoki is not very good with dates at all, he couldnāt even tell you what day of the week it is. Hence he expects S/O to tell him if their birthdayās coming up. It doesnāt have to be direct, a note or a mark on his calendar is enough to remind him. He would feel guilty if he missed it after all.
Hijikata Toshirou
This man tries his damn hardest to get S/Oās birthday to be on his day off, changing shifts around, rewriting the whole shift schedule for the month if he must. However busy a man he may be, he cannot afford to miss his S/Oās birthday.
Unfortunately, life doesnāt always go his way. If duty calls, he would have no choice but to wield his sword for the safety of Edo. In this case, Hijikata would be ruthless on duty, extremely concentrated, and determined to finish the poor excuse of a job to get home as soon as possible.
If he absolutely cannot make it back on time before S/Oās birthday ends, he would order Yamazaki to deliver them a cake as well as a handwritten letter from himself. The letter would contain sweet nothings as he apologizes. The guilt of not being with S/O eats at him as he works.
On this day if heās free, Hijiaka would try his best to do activities that he knows S/O enjoys, he wants to see them happy after all. Thus, Hijikata is at S/Oās beck and call, even though he may look as if he objects on the outside, heās willing to do anything S/O desires.
Hijiaka may not look it, but heās decent at picking out gifts for his S/O. His tastes are a bit more expensive if it's special occasions such as these. However, Hijikata still has a horrible habit of second guessing his gifts and constantly wonders if S/O would like what he gets them.
Tsukuyo
Tsukuyo isnāt into her birthday that much, however, S/Oās birthday is a whole new deal. She isnāt very familiar with how to celebrate birthdays at all, so she goes to Hinowa or Seita for help.
Being a woman of Yoshiwara, she was around many courtesans, be it guarding or helping them out. Tsukuyo has seen how theyāve treated certain clients on their birthdays, and although itās embarrassing, she may go so far as to attempt to replicate that.
Tsukuyo is not the most talented chef, but she does have a few dishes sheās proud of to flaunt for S/O on their birthday. She attempts to include as many of their favorite ingredients as possible in her dishes.
She is obsessed with getting S/O some sort of materialistic gift as she wants to get S/O something they can actually hold, She is painfully aware of the fact that she may not always be what S/O needs emotionally, but the physical item serves as a reminder that sheās always there for them.
Tsukuyo is unsure what she should do with S/O, because she doesnāt want to end up forcing them to do anything that they donāt want to. Ultimately, she wouldnāt cake up her words and simply asks S/O how they would like to celebrate their birthday.
