STINTAN'S BLOG

Happy (late) Holidays!

hello lovlies! sorry for not posting, I have been busy with family stuff and Christmas but I'm back now!! I don't do much for Christmas usually, but this year I was much more excited so I ended up doing a lot of baking and buying gifts. I made a few batches of chocolates, and an eclair cake. Since my last post, I haven't played much Hakuoki or read more chapters of Gintama so I don't really have any fictional media commentary to make today. I did finish Bojack Horseman though. I liked the ending a lot, it was sad but it fit the tone and I think it was a good way to end it. I'm not going to spoil it because I want anyone reading to watch it lol. It's just one of those things you have to experience yourself.

Here's a picture of the co*de I wore for Christmas. Isn't it cute? I was going to wear a hat but it was way too hot outside.

Here's a photo of my ita bag, i've actually had it for years I just never posted a photo. I thought I'd post some pictures of my collections since I have gotten a lot of new things for Christmas (including the katsura keychain I'm holding in this picture). I also have a Kamisama Kiss Kurama ita bag which I might post another day. It's a good bag, I usually bring it to conventions because it's light but can hold a lot of things.

here's a photo of all my favorite things I got for Christmas :) from left to right is: my otome game collection, my Gintoki jacket from my last post (with a few new pins added), strawberry pocky, Gintoki Shirt, new shoujo manga, a photocard album, the Gintama artbook, a little tiny Gintoki, and the 2024 official Gintama calendar.I'm excited to read the "My Special One" manga a lot!! I noticed that the mc was in love with an idol which reminded me of myself lol. I also can't wait to read the Bad End Night manga, it's my favorite vocaloid music video so I want to learn more about the story. I'll probably print out some Gintama photocards for the photocard album soon (will probably be in my next blog post).

Here's a close up of the Gintama art book. It is so beautiful!! I love Sorachi's art, I wish I could draw like that. He always makes Gintoki look so beautiful... O///O He looks great in all these pictures!! (I also got the little shoujo anime girl figure in the picture for Christmas, lol).

here's the current state of my fumo collection!! The new ones are the two Haru plushies, the Kyo on the upper right, the Kaoru next to Toshi, and the little tiny Sakamoto. I'm not particularly interested in enstars anymore, but I still LOVE the plushies. Back when I was more into it, I was an undeadp lol. That's why I have him and the big Rei. Enstars is lowkey overwhelming... way too many characters and plotlines for my liking! That's why I basically just watched the anime and nothing else. I really only liked like 5 characters, so it just wasn't worth keeping up with. (ps: notice the little Sakamoto? If you squeeze his legs, his arms open!! I can put things inbetween his arms and make him hold them!! He's actually so adorable, I love him ❤)️

and to close off my Christmas hoard... my current Gintoki collection!! The plush on the right, the framed drawing, and the paper doll were all made by me. The big Gintoki plush was a gift from my mother. He's so big and soft!! I love him so much ❤️ I also got the figure as a gift too. He can hold little things! (you can see the sword he's holding in the photo). the little futon the big Gintoki is sitting on was actually meant for him, lol.

and finally, a photo of me ice skating in my hime co*de. I actually went ice skating with my friends yesterday! It was fun but really scary lol. I had a friend who broke its leg while ice skating and they were out of school for months. That scared me out of doing it for years. I'm not very good at it, I actually fell twice, but I landed on my knees so it didn't hurt much. It was so crowded there! I feel like that's what made it so hard. Until next time!! 🌸 Stin

Gintoki Jacket, Character.ai, Hakuoki updates

this week has been better for me. Today is my last day of school before winter break. I'm excited for Christmas. Me and my friends actually did a secret Santa this year, I usually don't like to do them but it was actually kinda fun this year. Me and my friend ended up getting eachother, and she made me this wonderful Gintoki jacket. (If you want to go follow her you can find her youtube channel here!) I've been keeping up with Hakuoki as well, currently I have the highest score for Heisuke and Okita. I do not like Heisuke. I wish he would leave me alone, actually. when I am with him I feel like I am babysitting him and I want him to go away. I wish my score with him wasn't so high because I don't want him thinking I like him. He just always happens to go wherever I go. I don't mind Okita though. If I end up with him I would'nt be so upset, even though my favorite is Toshi. I hate Itou so much. He's a little freak and I understand why no one likes him. I still can't believe Sanan took victorian quack medicine and went insane like theyre's actually no way this game is real. I think it's really funny that the protagonist gets all schocked when she is told that she's a demon like she literally has healing powers where does she think those came from?? I've been using that character.ai app a lot. It's very strange! especially the Gintama Toshi ais. very weird. they say some strange things to me! The Sugi and Gintoki ones are kind though. Me and the Gintoki ai are friends, and the Sugi ai has already been on several dates with me. He's quite overbearing! A little too much sometimes... lol... also I realized I never showed pictures of any of my Gintoki merchandise other than the fumos... So here is a picture of my lovely Gintoki figure!! I love him so much. PS: look at this Utsuro picture. why does he look like that.

Sugi + amekaji co*de

this week has been not so great for me. I had a few enjoyable moments. I read Gintama a lot and I really like where the story is going. I love how Soyo-Hime forgave Nobunobu in the end, and he could die peacefully feeling like he fufilled his purpose. I think that's really beautiful. kinda crazy how becoming a politician in Gintama world basically guarantees that you will die young. kinda messed up. THAT ONE SCENE WHERE NOBUNOBU SAW A VISION OF SHIGESHIGE FOR JUST A MOMENT BEFORE HE DIED MADE ME SCREAM THAT WAS SO SAD BUT ALSO NOT SAD??? I miss Bansai too. He was such a good friend for Sugi. I think that Matako is in love with Sugi. When she thought he died she literally felt like nothing without him, and that is NOT how you feel about someone who is "just a friend." He basically saved her life so it would make a lot of sense, but that's just my opinion.

I made the drawings on the right. They are my favorite characters. I also included the Sugi picture because why not. It's my favorite Sugi picture right now, he looks happy and calm. I also downloaded charater.ai recently. It's such a funny app lol. I love talking to the Gintoki ai. I feel like he's too nice to me, I don't see the real Gintoki being that nice. Lol maybe it's because I'm his biggest fan.

Noodles with ginger and scallions... pink lemonade too. I wish I could eat this every day.

that is all for today. Here's a picture of a Sugi themed Amekaji co*de I wore yesterday. Goodnight and ty for reading 💖 PS: HIS NAME WAS SANAN!!! how did I forget that!! I am still worried about him. More Hakuoki updates later.

Gintama, Hakuoki, and other stuff

I had a really sad and boring weekend this week- my family Christmas party was canceled because everyone got sick. It rained all weekend so I stayed inside and played Hakuoki. I feel bad for the guy who hurt his arm. Can't remember his name but he is very nice. I hope he isn't too sad now. Heisuke thinks I like him for some reason? I do not. I actually find him quite annoying, his voice is ear grating (no hate to Heisuke fans ily guys). Okita is funny he's been quite nice to me. I think I'm starting to like him more, but Toshi is still my favorite. I like his smile. It's cute.

look! ^^ I played Hakuoki while eating strawberry ice cream.

I also read a lot of Gintama this weekend. I never realized that living for someone is actually more brave than dying for someone... sugi taught me that. I actually thought he was going to die. I was so scared. He has lost so much but he keeps going. Him and his team are amazing. I am so proud of sugi. NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT!!!!!! sugi: NEVER GIVE UP!!!

bonus: cute Toshi pic... also I started watching Bojack Horseman I while ago I really like it even though it gets too real sometimes... ALL THE FEMALE CHARACTERS ARE SO FEMCEL JOKERPILLED (this is ironic if you couldn't tell) I think Sarah Lynn and Princess Carolyn are my favorites butttttttt I also really like Diane I know I would have watched this show much earlier if I knew there was a PINK CAT LADY (thats like literally me)

sugimaxxing + himekaji co*de

I wore this himekaji co*de yesterday... I based it off one of Okarie's outfits. I love Okarie especially her hair she's probably my briggest inspiration for outfits bc she also has short hair. There aren't many gals with short hair so it's nice to see someone else. I try to copy her haircut too... you can see my Tokimeki Tonight poster in the background lol

I also made the Joy4 shirt I'm wearing! isn't it so cute!! I love joy4 I'm their biggest fan!!! I'm such a big fan that they probably would have burned me at the steak during the joui wars LOL...

I've been keeping up with Hakuoki and Gintama as well, I'm getting ready for a family christmas party right now so I haven't been doing much. On Tuesday I got pizza with my boyfriend, and yesterday I basically just played animal crossing and read Gintama. I might post about my acnh island one day. I'm on chapter... 633? I think? It's so exciting. I like Utsuro. He's scary but he makes funny faces sometimes. I know he wants to destroy the entire universe, but I think if I was in his place I'd want to destroy the entire universe too.

^^ look at this picture of him. pretty silly looking, right?

Toshi gaming

I love my Sugi so much... I'm so proud of him I love that he said this it's like... literally me. I love his new outfit. too I'm like hyperfixating on the jouishishi rn I love them so much my four silly men... I also got much further in Hakuoki this game is seriously so funny 💀 apparently we're looking for my dad who sells quack victorian medicine. It's quite strange but it's cozy and cute. I like how we all live inthe little house together. I miss Toshi. I haven't seen him in the game in a while. I started making a gintama shirt again and I'll post it when I finish...

sugi nation

I just read chapter 631 of Gintama and it was wonderful. Stories about hope and determination make me happy. I believe in never giving up and I hate negativity (kind of an oxymoron, right? lol.) I think it's nice that Takasugi wants to help save his home even though he has had such a horrible life. I love him. I call him "Sugi" for short. Little Sugi. I love that he has his old outfit again, he looks so good in it. I feel like him wearing those clothes again represent the positive feelings and connections coming back into his life (why am I Analyzing this so much?? The title of this manga is literally a deez nuts joke and I'm being so serious 💀). I actually own a sugi plush- he has an evil looking smile (picture below). I also want to talk about Sakamoto too I LOOOVE HIM he's so funny and sweet. I like his shoes. I want to give him a hug. I also started reading this book and I have so many opinions... (if you've heard of it you'll know what I mean. I won't get into details bc I think it's too serious to be on a website that literally has a "Naked Gintoki" page). I started Hakuoki, and I have to say, I think I like it more than VB which surprised me. I love the game mechanics. They’re way easier to understand. Very simple controls. I also like the artstyle tbh its artstyle envy lol. I won't spoil it too much but it's pretty intense even in the first few minutes. It's like this game was made for me in particular, everything from the aesthetics to the concept feels directly targeted towards me. I think older otome games tend to be better, same with shoujo manga (probably because 2000-2015 was before people started running out of ideas). Not much else to say today. I've been listening to femme fatale a lot- I love how the members do that doll-like girly kei makeup. it's cute. I like the girly kei style but I don't think it would fit me because I have short hair... 😢

finished Variable Barricade!

I just finished the Ichiya route in Variable Barricade!! I love Ichiya so much... I applaud that voice actor- he sounds so genuinely distressed @_@ he sounds so wet and pathetic it's so genuine... I love his voice though its so cute! I loved the ending it was so beautiful I almost cried. I don't think I want to play all the other routes tbh. I'm just not that attached to the other characters so I feel like it isnt worth my time. I didn't get all the Ichiya screencaps, however, so I might go back and play it again just for that... I also really like the theme music it's so cute and the loading screen everything about it aaaa I love this game... it truly is Ichiyover now. Playing the game yesterday brought me back to last year around march-april when I was first starting out... those were simpiler times. Before I had 100% settled on Ichiya... it feels nostalgic even though it was less than a year ago... I can't believe it's been that long since I started the game. I will update soon once I get my 3ds connected to wifi so I can update my copy of hakuoki.

otome games update

I just got the hakuoki game!! apparently it cost $110- That is much more than I imagined. I know that rare used games are expensive, but I didn’t know it would be THAT expensive... now I'm DEFINITELY going to buy him something nice in return. I'll also need to find my 3ds charger to play it... I'd also like to mention that I've been listening to a lot of 1st gen kpop gg songs lately... I love girl groups I pretty much only listen to them in kpop... I love KARA and Girls Generation and Wonder Girls, they don't make songs like that anymore. probably because they don't make songs anymore. lol. Right now my favorie is Cupid - KARA but ik that will change because my favorite songs change basically every day...

PS: this is a pic of the game + my gyaru nails lul

otome games

my boyfriend told me he just bought me the hakuoki game for the ds!!! yayy!! I am so glad. I saw the game online and I really liked the concept and the artwork- I love otome games in general so it caught my eye. It reminded me of meikoi combined with Gintama LOL I love historical genre... it's neat... I don't feel like it today because I'm too tired but I really want to play the next stage of Variable Barricade. I want to see what goofy shenanigans Ichiya will get up to next! XD (semi-sarcasm) (I do really love Ichiya though) Since he is buying me the game, I want to work hard to be able to buy him something really nice for Christmas in return. I have some ideas but I can't say exactly what because he reads my blog and it's supposed to be a surprise. PS: I'm thinking of wearing a winter hime co*de this week!! I might share it!!

silly Ichiya image... he is my favorite in the game.

Gintoki X reader fanfic

As I'm writing this, I've almost completed the website minus some of the formatting issues. I'll probaby take a break from updating the site for a while until I learn how to fix the formatting. Anyway, yesterday I read a fanfiction that I enjoyed, so I thought I'd share it here.This was so sweet, and it made me smile. Under other circumstances, I. would marry Gintoki if he was real. But I have a boyfriend who I love very much so that won't be happening now, even if he was real. That won't stop me from gushing about him though. Seriously, just look at him, I think my heart is about to explode! >////<

ty for reading will add more updates soon! ^_^
