being in a fandom long term: urrrrrrrrrrgh not this shitty argument again we’ve covered this

[love3rdsight]

my 2 cents on writers demanding comments on their fics really hinges on a few pieces of criteria

Do you suck as a writer? then I mean, expect crickets since no one wants to tell you suck unless you're posting on ffnet tbh lol

Do YOU comment on other people's work? if you don't than seriously, fuck off

Do you do literally any promotion of your fics on social media/discord/twitter/tumblr? this is 2023, rules have changed... you need to do a lil marketing these days unfortunately

Do you reply to comments? if not well I mean people prefer to comment to those who feel like they will reply lmfao like imho I think this is really the magic formula lol

Top 5 GinTsu moments?

I don't believe I'm alone in saying this, but it's when he says to Tsukuyo in Lesson 493, "If it's what you want, I don't mind being yours and yours alone." It signifies that he sees her in a way that is not friendship, and the fact that Sorachi added those last two words signified authorial intent that Tsukuyo is someone Gintoki is interested in romantically, and not platonically. Even though a lot of fans argue "he was under the drug!" none of them ever explain fully why Sorachi felt the need to draw or write this line in the first place. Fact is, it wasn't necessary to the plot but Sorachi really went out of his way to draw mc-kun confessing to this woman even if he's more of a gag manga series guy - and in a world where Hinata confesses to Naruto and he ignores her confession until like, the very last chapter of the series - it's quite a remarkable that this line exists at all, tbh.

Gintoki telling her, "You have a beautiful face and a clean soul" at the end of Red Spider arc. He admires her inner and outer beauty and that's a wonderful thing to see in any ship dynamic. We know Tsukuyo is a beautiful woman, but Gintoki also has the capacity to appreciate her strength and fortitude.

"Get your stinking hands off this woman," Gintoki growling this to Jiraia (RS arc) after stabbing his hand with his bokuto is... hot, lol. To have him being that enraged at a master mistreating his student - I think there was some degree of him self-projecting on her during the whole situation, and consequently it made him very protective of Tsukuyo which is so... sexy, as a ship. This is a woman who protects the whole city of Yoshiwara even if it puts herself at risk, and for once in her life, she can depend on Gintoki to protect her and to be there for her??? GOD. At her lowest moment, being stuck three days in captivity by a narcissistic, twisted, evil father figure who was hell-bent on skinning Tsukuyo's skin and burning everything that she fought for, eventually to be proved that being able to put her faith in something else other than herself was redeemed? Man. Really powerful writing.

Tsukuyo saying, "And someday when that guy gets back, I wanna tell him that. Then I think he'll walk with everyone on tha same path to the future again..." in SSA arc. What a hell of a love interest where she is mature enough to trust that Gintoki is doing the right thing and setting aside her feelings for him for the Greater Good. She says this to the Gintama ladies, and there's a part where they look at her, contemplative, as if they're moved by the capacity of her love for him. Her words are the Serious Part that isn't warped by comedy in that chapter. She asks for nothing from Gintoki except to see him occasionally, and that's a selflessness that I like very much about her. Many people have expectations from Gintoki (paying the rent, paying their salaries, not being so crude, not drinking so much, not being a bum, trying to recruit him into terrorism) but she asks for nothing from him, and I think that's what love is really all about - accepting someone for who they are, and not for what they can do for you.

Tsukuyo saying, "Gintoki... you lost your master?" in Courtesan of a Nation arc. Her facial expression is horrified, as she also understands that burden all too well. And when Sasaki shoots a bullet into Gintoki and she reacts by killing the FUCK out of the Naraku to reach him because she thinks he's going to die... Peak...

What’s the point of grinding to the bone your whole life for money if you aren’t even gonna be there to spend it…

[scotoplanes]

"The less you eat, drink and buy books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorise, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save – the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour – your capital. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, i.e., the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being." -Karl Marx, Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844

“The thing about money is, we can always make more, so let’s go out to eat tonight!” —My dad, after being laid-off, working odd and probably demeaning jobs so we could have dinner.

“Ah, baby, I want to buy this for you, it’s not like I can take the money with me when I go.” —My mom, when she bought me new clothes while I was between jobs.

“There’ll always be a job out there you can work, but we’d prefer you happy instead.” —Both my parents on jobs (“I can always get ya a job ditch diggin! They’ll always need ditch diggers. Hard work, but no college necessary. I can talk to the Hall.”—My proud, union dad, enthused, three seconds later.)

“It doesn’t matter what they do with the money after you give it to them. Drugs, beer, it doesn’t matter, maybe that’s what they need? How do you know?” —My dad on giving money to the homeless.

“Nah, we’ll never make any money, my husband has morals.” —My mom’s friend, fondly reflecting on the fact her lawyer husband isn’t working for a big money firm.

“Don’t worry! I’ve got this!” My equally poor friend buying me dinner when my debt card declined.

“I know we didn’t have furniture in the living room when you were growing up, but—ha!—remember Balloon Ball?” —My dad reflecting on the made up, mock-volleyball game we’d play in the open living room, using balloons. He had used electrical tape to make the court.

“I’m sorry we could never take you anywhere greater growing up,” —My mom, reflecting on our “stay-cations.” (“Why?” I asked, reflecting on all our trips to the park, zoo, public swimming pools, libraries, free theater, two dollar movie days, and her and my dad right there with me and my brothers.)

Bring poor is hard and it’s not right that it happens, but I prefer it to the hustle because at the very least, poor taught me what love is and I won’t let a shitty job deny me that.
