remember when you used to be able to play snake with the… hold on what’s it called
hmm. don’t think i’ll be calling it that. anyways i was gonna say remember when you could play snake with the buffering circle on youtube but. now i have other concerns
the fundamental disconnect with takazura is that with gintoki zura wants to imagine that he's in an imperial harem drama, right. like gintoki is the emperor and zura is the conniving concubine more than ready to have a battle of wits and passions with her rival. except he can't imagine takasugi as that rival. even though being a trio is the perfect setup for it it ruins the whole daydream. takasugi is fundamentally not only concubine swagless but zura can't think of his own relationship to him that way.
and with takasugi zura wants to imagine that they're a bitter but long-married couple and takasugi has always been incorrigible and insufferable but despite how much resentment may have built up over the years zura has his own nobility as the wife, his own sense of duty and propriety. but the problem then is that when takasugi genuinely frustrates him he's like, why am i texting him when i could be getting ghosted by gintoki instead? and when he thinks about it gintoki is a so much more attractive lout of a husband candidate so what is he doing. with gintoki he can have a victimized overworked passive aggressive mother fantasy but with takasugi it's just like. depressing.
anyway i think it's really funny how joui 4 is scientifically undeniably a polycule but most definitely not the kind of where they can be Together all at once. there are a lot of obstacles.
