Another HUGE thank-you to the talented @okaerin for this beautiful artwork I commissioned from her!! It was great working with her again, and I encourage everyone to check out her blog for more of her lovely artwork!

Presenting Hijikata and Tae on a summer date...in a 1950s-inspired AU!

Tae’s fashion takes cue from Audrey Hepburn for a cute, casual, and classic style! Her outfit pays homage to Audrey’s gown in Sabrina (1954) through the cherry blossom print on a summer dress reminiscent of the trends of that decade. Every time it comes to Tae in more modern fashions, I always find myself returning to Audrey’s iconic style and fashion sense, which I think suits Tae wonderfully.

Hijikata’s fashion is inspired by two famous leading men during the golden age of cinema in the 50s (and beyond): Toshiro Mifune and Marlon Brando, from a photoshoot and A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), respectively. I think the classic T-shirt and trousers look suits Hijikata best for a casual and romantic outing.

Fic: Keep Running Into the Night

No one will remember the other almost-punch.

No one will whisper and pass around legends about the man who made a living from submitting to governmental authority. No one will think about the one whose life already hangs on the edge of a sword, spinning around and throwing his fist out in the direction of the most powerful man in the nation, knowing full well that his death would be ordered on the spot, knowing he would lose all hope and chance to save his general from execution.

No one will remember what Hijikata did for her.

But she will.

Summary: Tae's thoughts and emotions, as she and Hijikata and the others flee into the night after Gintoki punches the Shogun.

Fic: The Light of a Dying Star

Hijikata was not visiting a loved one. She was not family, and she was not exactly a friend, either. An ally at best; time enough for anything beyond that had passed. Though he hadn’t gone to see her before, Hijikata knew the room number from Sougo, who had visited her once to assess her condition and pass the news onto Kondou. But Kondou still knew nothing, for Sougo had not the heart to tell him that Shimura Tae hovered between life and death at the mercy of the White Plague.

Summary: Set in the Be Forever Yorozuya timeline.

Before going underground in order to devise a rescue plan for Kondou, Hijikata goes to visit Tae in the hospital for the first and last time.

Monday Night Primetime Romance

“I can see how being too popular can be a problem. The superior and his subordinate are fighting for the same woman. This is like a soap opera!”

“Oi. Don’t make up weird stories like that. I’m only here to—”

“But I’m not that kind of woman! Unless this relationship pans out like the 9 o’clock Monday night dramas, I am going to refuse!”

I decided to create another list of lyric prompts to follow up the original prompt post. I also made a new HijiTae edit for the banner – it’s the best I can do with my lack of graphic design skills and programs. I do what I can for my beloved OTP.

--

Curious and interested about HijiTae, but need some ideas to get started? Do you want to take on the challenge of creating content about a rare pair? Or maybe you just want to try something different for a change?

There aren’t nearly enough HijiTae fans for an actual HijiTae Week, and since the series has been over for awhile, it’s past the point of fandom peak. However, fan works don’t have to stop. Thus, I came up with the following:

More Song Lyric Prompts (adhering to lyrical context isn’t necessary; these were chosen to jumpstart some ideas):

Lovesong by The Cure: Whenever I'm alone with you / You make me feel like I am home again

Find the Way by Nakashima Mika: I said it’s okay to cry / Because I’ll stay by your side no matter what

Wicked Game by Chris Isaak: I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you

Labyrinth by Mondo Grosso (lyrics from kimonobeat): Kiss me / Without saying a word / Make me forget everything

The Night by Starsabout: And side by side / We run into the night

Wonderful by Lianne La Havas: But electricity lingers / In our fingers

Dream Within a Dreamworld by The Daysleepers: Everywhere I end is the place where you start

I Love You by 2NE1: I think of you with the moonlight and I confess my heart

The Lightning Strike (Part I: What if this storm ends?) by Snow Patrol: Just for a minute / The silver forked sky / Lit you up like a star / That I will follow

Liquid Paper by Airiel: You drown me in your smile / I cannot breathe

Lights Out by EXO: Fall asleep in my arms / Morning will come again / So you can peacefully dream / At the end of this loneliness

Endless Ways by Anathema: My world will never be the same / And my heart is never going to regret / For you are loved in endless ways

I’m going to repeat last year’s list of regular prompts here since I still like them (I added a couple more):

Healing

Autumn

Second Love

Reverie

Summer Nights

Fireworks

Rain

Impulse

Cherry Blossoms (or any kind of flower)

Parallels (Otose & Tatsugoro)

Marriage / Family / Domestic Life (including Togoro)

Modern AU setting

All of these prompts have been selected for general themes and what-if scenarios. Togoro is, obviously, Hijikata and Tae’s son from the Time Skip arc. I encourage you to create fan art, fan fic, edits, gifs, etc., with these prompts. You can either tag @hijitae or simply tag your post with the “hijitae” hashtag. I would love to see your work and reblog it, or else support it in some other way.

Usual guidelines apply:

Don’t repost or claim someone else’s work as your own.

Tag appropriately.

Don’t engage in harassment/bullying.

Basically, just be a decent human being.

If you decide to take up the challenge, please enjoy and have fun creating!

A HijiTae fic for Valentine’s Day!

Love Turns Everything Into Magic, Even Mayonnaise

Tae took a deep breath and opened up her purse, pulling out a wrapped package adorned with red ribbon and a bow. Through the transparent wrapping, Hijikata could make out a small, lidless gift box containing several heart-shaped chocolates with a colourful array of sprinkles on a few of them.

“Happy Valentine’s Day!” Smiling, Tae held out the package toward him with both hands. “These are homemade chocolates.”

Summary: Tae prepares homemade Valentine's Day chocolates for Hijikata with some surprising results.

HijiTae Poll #2 Results

Thank you to all those who voted in the second HijiTae Blog Poll! This poll closed on January 31. Here are the results:

I expected the majority of votes to go to “Thought about them and their moments while reading/watching Gintama” because that’s how it usually happens. And, wow, did Sorachi ever surprise and bless us!

“Read fan fic about them” and “Through meta posts” were the next couple of reasons to gain the most votes. Fan fic for rare pairs is a blessing; not every rare pair is lucky to have even one. There have been a few meta posts over the years, sometimes found as brief comments in old forum topics in places like Yorozuya Soul, Crunchyroll, and others. I’ve written a fair amount myself, and I’m glad they have helped to bring in new fans.

Next were the reasons: “Discovered fan art featuring them”, “I love shipping rare pairs”, and “Through fandom edits”. Luckily, HijiTae fan art has existed since forever, basically, though quite a bit has been lost over the years as old fan sites went offline. Some artists have re-uploaded to Pixiv now, some to DeviantArt. I’ve commissioned two HijiTae art pieces among the latest batch of new art. Hope we get more fan art soon!

I completely relate to those who voted for “I love shipping rare pairs,” because so do I. I have plenty of other faves in different fandoms. I love going against the norm, going with my instincts on possibilities, and thinking outside the box. Sometimes, it’s just more fun to go that route.

Fandom edits, like gifs, fan vids, and more -- here I want to give a special shout-out here to @arirna, who has contributed much to the HijiTae fandom with gifs. Thank you so much! I’ve no doubt that those gifs of yours and other fandom edits have brought in more HijiTae fans.

“Other reasons” also had the same number of votes. No one came forward to share what other reasons got them into HijiTae. I think I covered all the major reasons – although I did forget to include old HijiTae fan listing site as an option. It lasted from 2007 to 2009, if I recall correctly. It was started by an old friend of mine, and I have her to thank for being the first to provide a place for HijiTae fans to gather in the international fandom.

“Through the HijiTae Tumblr blog” (yay!) and “A friend got me into them” were the last reasons to receive votes. I’m glad my side blog has introduced someone to HijiTae, because that’s one of the reasons I created it.

“Through general fandom discussion” didn’t receive any votes, but I’m not surprised – you mostly see the same crop of ships pop up in general discussions and rarely anything that deviates from the norm. HijiTae doesn’t even qualify as a “Pair the Spares” kind of thing since they’re both tied to more popular ships. Fewer people will object to spare, “leftover” characters being paired together since the new ships won’t interfere with the popular ships of majority preference. Unfortunately, not everyone is open to different or unpopular ships, so I don’t blame people for not bringing their rare pairs up in general discussions. I know from experience.

Well, that was a fun poll and useful for determining how people find their way to HijiTae. Thanks again for voting! Please feel free to make new content for this tiny fandom – art, fic, edits, etc.
