eat shit and die: a scatological reading of gintama’s filler
by tshirt, for my friend kile :)
i’ve been daydreaming obsessively about an excretory reading of gintama lately. the thing about gintama is that because they can’t show onscreen cock dick balls (running in jump as it did), they have to censor it. so the phallus, rather than being generative of truth, itself obscures it—via its own censorship. this is a thing that the characters themselves acknowledge as a weak—flaccid, if you will—joke, though certainly still enough enough to gag on.
but gintoki, for example, when the comic uses censorship as the punchline two weeks in a row, comments that readers will think they don’t have any other jokes. and, well, do they? and what actually is that joke?
join me, now, on a close reading of a couple arcs in the chapter 400s. we here take “filler” as our key object, that long middle between gintama’s serious arcs. this essay remains in dialogue with gintama’s overarching story to come as well as the events that preceded it, but frankly put, most of life is filler and then you die. so we zoom in on a couple random weeks in the year 2013, on the basis that those few weeks contain as much meaning as our lives can ever hope to have had.
we, more importantly, study gintama’s filler because filler is responsible for some of the most dramatic cultural detritus gintama has produced (e.g. sword in ass merch). it is critically underrepresented despite the fact that it’s how the average person encounters the series. therefore, i’d like to read it in dialogue primarily with guy hocquenghem’s seminal text, homosexual desire, for the bare fact that the mundanities of gintama are so centrally concerned with homosexual anxieties and desires (that is, the anus), such that it forms a bit in itself. here, we commit to it.

mods are asleep post femme and butch zura
i love hoarding gintama canon urls (literally only 2 of them) and it means that the guilt will keep me attached to gintama forever
is "Yorozuya Gin-chan" a performance
yes it's like. a drag performance
yes but he has many more qualities that we love him for
it used to be but he faked it until he made it and this is the real plot of gint
it is a performance but like the same way Shoyo sensei is a performance
it's a job title and he is allowed complexity outside of his business hours
y.g.ch. is REAL he has CHILDREN you are such a cynic can't you see him BLEED
anyway here is one. tag essays are welcome
gintama (2003-2019) by sorachi hideaki
Even though he experienced suffering that would break anyone’s spirit, he couldn’t disappear. That is why he gave birth, in order to overcome the endless suffering… to countless versions of himself. And by the time the prison itself rotted away, they began to act… To bestow countless deaths upon people.
this is not a place of honor
determined for you all to watch these
and all the others on that channel
older kags (like 20yo?) design bec i honestly think she wouldn’t wear something that far off from what she currently wears. laughs
