gintoki and 28 for the f/o game please!

Meet Cutes: 28. mistaking the other for their friend and getting embarrassed when they turn around

You always dreaded going out grocery shopping. As much as you tried to be prepared and keep a list, you somehow always ended up forgetting something no matter how many times you went over the list. Despite not feeling very optimistic about yet another grocery trip, you still tried to encourage yourself to get it done. Maybe it would be much easier if you had invited a friend to join you, but you also wondered if that might be weird too. Edo was always a busy place, in that regard at least you knew with a crowdful of people you felt eyes wouldn’t solely be on you while you were doing your shopping. 

You nodded your head and bowed politely when the employee greeted you. You made sure to quickly grab a shopping basket and duck into one of the aisles hoping that no one asked if you needed help with anything. Having to converse with employees more than necessary could be painfully stressful at times. You turned your attention to one of the shelves to see what aisle you ended up starting in - AISLE 03 SPICES.

Your eyes scanned through your list now trying to find the section where the spices had been written. You were focused until you caught a glimpse of someone walking by which shifted your attention to the person who walked by you now. While you didn’t get a good look at their face, you just knew that had to be your friend. Normally you would’ve been against approaching with such confidence, but feeling overjoyed to see a familiar face made you decide to act impulsively.

“Hello!” you exclaimed (not very loudly). The person didn’t turn around, and you figured perhaps you aren't loud enough. You shuffle closer to them now tugging on their sleeve, “Excuse me… Hi! It’s nice to see you!” you exclaim with a bit more confidence this time, until the person in question turns around and all the confidence you mustered suddenly leaves your body.

“...Huh?” the man who turned around definitely wasn’t your friend. 

From behind his hair looked like it had been more orderly, but now seeing him facing you you saw just how disheveled his appearance had been. It didn’t help that the man had been sticking a finger in his nose and didn’t seem to try to hide this from you. You tried not to look so judgmental, but at the same time you were surprised he didn’t seem to rush to pull his finger out or anything.

“...I’m so sorry. I thought you were someone else.” You admitted sheepishly now looking away.

“Who’d you think I was? A celebrity maybe?” the stranger almost sounded a bit hopeful. Well, at least now his finger was out of his nose and found its way into his ear now. 

“No… Just someone I thought I knew. A friend… Well, more of an acquaintance.” you gave him a shy smile. Even if he seemed a bit odd he was kind of cute now that you got a better look at him. 

“Sorry to disappoint you.” he said with a shrug. 

“Oh no… If anything I’m sorry for making the mistake, really.” You waved your hands in front of you dismissively. 

“It’s not a big deal… I’ve had stranger things happen.” he said with a shrug. 

That was definitely an understatement.

“You seem like a guy that has a lot of stories to tell.” Your confidence returned to you. Normally you didn’t chat much with strangers, but something about him made you want to continue this conversation.

“You can tell?” He replied with a laugh. “Gintoki Sakata. I do odd jobs so if you need something done I got you. I guess this is kind of an odd job for me… I normally don’t go to the store. At all. But you see, we ran out of an important ingredient so I figured I might as well go… The people I live with, they aren’t that dependable. It’s hopeless.” 

You listened intently now wondering who these people were that Gintoki lived with… That was until you saw someone else approaching him. It was a younger looking man who had a cart full of groceries already seeming like he was ready to scold Gintoki for what he had in his basket - you didn’t notice but it seemed as though his basket had been filled with sweets. What an odd experience. 

While he was being dragged away he managed to give you a business card.

“Give me a call sometime!” Gintoki exclaimed before he was dragged away. 

What an interesting day….

mohammed avdol 🙏 (of course tanaki has to know what shay thinks of her brother) for the ask game

uwah thank you dale i was kinda hoping someone was gonna ask me about avdol,, didn’t mean to keep this in my drafts for so long 😭 hfbvjhdfv

send me a canon character and i’ll share shay’s thoughts, opinions, etc.

Shay’s thoughts — Muhammad Avdol

It’s conflicted. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before; I can’t remember exactly when or where, but before the events of Stardust Crusaders began, Shay had a few run ins with him. She arrived in Cairo in early 1987—a year and some months before canon events began (Holly falls ill), but she’s definitely had a few run ins with him.

Shay was basically an ‘errand girl’ (for lack of a better term) and was frequently in the Khan el Khalili bazaar where Avdol mentioned his shop being, and because of the nature of stand users being drawn to each other, it was inevitable they’d have a run in or two. It was never a friendship of any kind, but he pointed her in the direction of where/how to find certain things a couple times, showing her how to properly pronounce some of the Arabic words on this phonetic ‘cheat sheet’ she’d carry around and she even got a reading from him for the hell of it once. She did wonder what happened when she stopped seeing him all of a sudden, however. (around the time of Avdol’s encounter with DIO, but she was unaware of that.)

Before the Joestar party arrived in Cairo, she didn’t even know his name, only his face. She’d heard DIO and others mention an Avdol, but she didn’t know it was him, and that gave her a weird almost disappointed feeling she couldn’t describe, like she didn’t want to believe that it was the same guy.

She was impressed by Magician’s Red during their 1v1 in the mansion, especially how well he wielded his stand despite being injured and armless—his ‘replacement’ arms made of flames especially took her by surprise. She didn’t want to fight him, but she knew she was as good as dead if anything happened to Lord DIO, so she had to.

All in all, perhaps they may’ve gotten along in another universe, perhaps they’d even be friends.

hi berry! this is your opening to just gush about your f/o's! i feel like i talk enough about mine, now it's your turn!

Hey Jonathan! Aw shucks thank you! I don’t usually gush about my f/o’s on this blog as I found it better to keep it on my own personal f/o blog... but I’ll go ahead and gush about my platonic f/o (Mikitaka)! 

I just think Mikitaka would be so fun to hang out with. There’s never a dull moment with him I’m sure! When I’m feeling down, I’m sure he always finds a way to cheer me up and he doesn’t even have to try very hard just the little comments he makes or words of encouragement just ends up putting a smile on my face. He brushes my hair for me when I really can’t find the energy to, he constantly reminds me to get out of bed to make sure I eat and to practice selfcare and all that. He just seems like he’d be a very sweet friend indeed! ;w;

back on my gintoki brainrot

i really like to think that this is how gintoki and my oc got together (i dont have a very creative name for him yet so he’s just gonna have my name)

Jonathan: I owe you one. 

Gintoki: That’s ok. You can just date me and we’ll call it even. 

if you can’t tell, i’ve been doing incorrect quotes again (and yes, i’m ALSO back on my kano brainrot, i love that stinky little australian)

but yeah, that interaction led them to getting married and acting like a old married couple :|

YESS, I love to hear about your Gintoki brainrot!!

But GOSH that’s perfect though haha. Gintoki might be an idiot /pos but he can be smooth sometimes when he wants to be hehe 

Oh my gosh KANO!! Yes, I haven’t heard you talk about him in a long time. If you ever wanna gush about him again I’m down to listen!!

But gosh, old married couple interactions, beloved. 

[jojolovenotes]

hi berry! how are you?

today is my birthday! could i get a love note from any of my f/o's birthday wise? thank you!

Hi Jonathan! I’m doing well, how are you? Oh! Happy birthday friend!! I hope you’re having a lovely day!! ♡

Happy birthday my sweet,

Maybe I’m a bit more excited for your special day than you are ( just a little bit) because birthdays always means good desserts. I hope you’re having cake... or cupcakes... or, any kind of sweets really. If not, I’m more than happy to buy some cake or something sweet and have it in honor of you. I’m really glad to be able to celebrate another birthday with you. I can’t wait to join in to celebrate with you. You deserve to have the best time, and I’ll make sure it definitely is the best time! Shinpachi and Kagura are excited too... Shinpachi picked out a special gift for you, and Kagura is suggesting we go to an all you can eat buffet... I kept telling her it’s not about her, but she claims you told her that it’s where you wanted to go for your birthday. No matter what we do, I’m sure it’s gonna be a great time as long as we spend it together.

Love,

Gintoki

hi berry, could i get a love note from peter or gintoki? recently i've been a bit down given that college and work has been pretty stressful recently, and been having some major dysphoria. maybe just some words of encouragement to help me get through this week? i could use it

Hey Matthew,

Sorry to hear that things have been so stressful for you lately. You’re too handsome to gotta deal with so much added stress you know. Soon enough you’ll get a break right? You’re almost there. Just gotta get through this week and then you can relax. Can you do that for me? I know you can get through this, and then we can cuddle and spend as much time together as we’d like to. So ahead and kick this week’s ass! You’ve got this... This week doesn’t stand a chance against your handsome determination! 

Love,

Gintoki

for the slasher thing, i wanna give you free will so any f/o of mine! (i also got a shot today, very scared of needles and now i'm a big boy)

Slashers 

While not very detailed, trigger warning for mentions of blood, gore, body horror, etc.

(Decided to go with Avdol!) 

💔 He definitely has an obsession with fire. In his ‘slasher lore’, he was the sole survivor of a fire but endured severe burns which is why he always makes sure to cover his face. His mask is a red bird almost reminiscent of a phoenix, as he feels as he relates to one since he too rose from the ashes. 

💔 He relies on tarot cards as a mean to decide whether or not he should make someone his victim. Because of his loneliness he’s developed an imaginary friend who is a bird he calls Red but claims that Red is the one who always tells him to ignite fires even when he’s trying his best to be “good”. 

💔 It is said that the reason he uses arson as his main method of killing is because he’s trying to see who else will survive a fire so they can be just like him and so he’ll feel less alone.
