Of Hot Spring and Typhoons [1/?]
Title: Of Hot Spring and Typhoons Fandom: Gintama Pairing: Kamui x Tokugawa Soyo / Okita Sougo x Kagura Rating: PG-13 -> M/MA Word Count (MS Word): 2,462
This was supposed to be a fic for Soyo’s birthday last July 16, but my work-life balance was a mess for the past few months that I have been unable to write a proper fic.
This was also supposed to be a one shot, but I figured it would be more fun to break it into chapters that would delve into two characters’s viewpoints per chapter, as I think the fic would make more sense as I go along.
Lastly, the rating will go up as we proceed, because reasons.
Enjoy!
They made an official Soyo can badge!
Tokugawa Soyo: Fake Illness Arc vs Farewell Shinsengumi Arc
Tokugawa Soyo reimagined as a Yato
She’s rather perceptive about the internal conflict happening around her.
“You said it yourself.”
Guess princesses don’t cry in public and, instead, walk with utmost dignity during a real funeral.
I’ve no idea what they’re saying but it looks hilarious, and I’m laughing so hard
TIL
Soyo’s name in Chinese.
It’s ‘ 德川澄夜’.
If it’s ‘Princess Soyo’/Soyo-hime, it’s ‘澄夜公主’.
Apparently, ‘澄夜’ can be read as ‘Sumiya’ in Japanese.
澄 = clear (eg. weather) 夜 = night (same as the ‘ya’ in Yato)
Coincidentally, the onomatopoeia ‘soyosoyo’ means ‘gentle breeze’
Kamusoyo for #2! Maybe based on the idea that he's the only one who can sneak into the palace undetected
2. “Have you lost your damn mind!?”
Artist’s description: I wanted to make Soyo look like she’s a maiden in love...
Kamui: Hmph. So Earth will be gone tomorrow*.
Arrow: Abuto’s hand
Kamui: If that’s the case, guess I’ll just have to run off with this girl.
* - today’s theme for the Gintama NL (normal love/het)’s 1 hour drawing challenge is ‘Earth’s Last Day (The response upon knowing that Earth will be destroyed)’.
