Hullo! and a question on icons!

[rainsometimes]

Hiya! I only really gave Gintama a chance this year and after some 40+ episodes I realized I'd fallen for it good and proper. Now with the recent Tumblr unpleasantness, I would love to find people on other platforms to talk to about the series. I just hope someone out there will see this and respond...

Now to a specific question. Does anyone have Gintama icons that aren't stored on Photobucket and which it's fine to use? Or know where such icons can be found? I will credit the icon-maker, naturally.

yeah totally agree on that.

god i bet Gintama has some excellent gen stuff. i love Katsura and that is a v nice pairing too. yeah, honestly i could get down with almost any Gintama pairing, except ones with Kagura because shE IS CHILD MY DAUGHTER. i see a lot of Sougo/Kagura and like...i get it, i can see why i s'ppose, but also....i can't...

Two great genfics are the wonderful "Encore, or Else" (by naye, who wrote that Otose fic I linked to), and the fantastic "Pandemonium" by xparrot. Both have a lot of action and suspense and the bond between the Odd Jobs Trio is the main focus. "Pandemonium" is much longer and also features the Shinsengumi prominently, including having Hijikata sensing a mental connection to Gintoki (no more details).

Yeah... I think a lot of those who ship say Sougo/Kagura picture her as being older, but with the same basic dynamics with Sougo which are pretty equal. I don't mind it, but it also isn't really my cup of tea. (Have you caught up with the manga, by the way? Or the anime?)

gotta check those out then, sounds good! i'm all there for multichapter fics.

yeah highly likely. isn't there a movie that has older Kagura aside from just that one ep? yeah idm either, but not sippin' that tea right there with ya. i have noooot read the manga at all, for shame. i watch Gintama with my roommate and we got pretty far in but i do not remember, it's been a while. i feel bad watching it without him and then with college and our schedules not aligning and other stuff i haven't been able to watch in a while ): so i'm probably way behind. we actually watched one ep the other day, just picking a random one, which had robot!Yamazaki and i had no idea that he was a robot now so if that gives a clue...i hope that isn't a spoiler for you as it was for me sheeyit

Oh yes! You've got to watch the second Gintama movie, it's really amazing!

The anime currently is not that behind the manga. Do you remember approximately the last episode you watched before you skipped ahead and was spoiled with that one newer episode? Gintama has been really plot-heavy for a good while now, so it's not as easy to pick random episodes to watch when it comes to the later one.
