one thing i have always loved about gintama characters is how they (mostly?) aren’t reduced to mere tropes. they are extremely multifaceted, and they face forward, regardless of who they used to be, or their flaws/traits/qualities/etc (be them justifiable or not), or what people may call them; all that while \knowing\ what lies deep inside them, even if they deny themselves or if they can’t figure it out yet.

they just learn how to be themselves. how to be \honest\ with themselves. thats exactly the kind of writing i need.
