Imagine your icon getting hopelessly lost in a corn field maze.

If you go to any animal shelter in Bastrop and give a food donation, you get a free animal. For every food donation you give, you can get another animal. They are incredibly full right now, and starting next week, they will be starting mass euthanizations. 

PLEASE signal boost, try to save an animal’s life! This will go on for a week, until next Friday!!!! 

Have I ever mentioned how much I love that everyone in Gintama fights dirty?  

Like thank you

There is the element of humor to it of course, but it’s also so telling of the characters.  Because that’s how people who survived a world war fight.  

That’s how survivors in general fight.  

People who manage to stay alive through events like that need some modicum of skill and intelligence of course, as well as a good bit of luck. But what really differentiates survivors from those who don’t is that they’re the ones hiding in bombed out buildings, stealing food from already destitute refugees to feed siblings, raiding corpses for supplies, hiding amongst the bodies of dead friends until they can jump up and stab their enemies when their guard is down, put a bullet in a swordsman’s brain before he can even open his mouth to give a battle cry.

They’re quite simply the ones who are willing to do what everyone else is not, what others couldn’t even imagine doing. 

So when Kagura spits in an opponents face, when Otae pretends she’s a frightened woman up until she stabs an enemy in the back, when Sougo brings a building down to finish an opponent he can’t beat, when Sakamoto unashamedly brings guns to a sword fight, when Gintoki defeats a Yato warlord by kicking debris under his feet

That’s very important to me, because it says far more for a character’s past and priorities than any vaunted code of honor or superior skillset

They’re going to protect themselves and those they care about, and there is nothing they won’t do - haven’t already done - to make sure they do just that.
