The Musings of Castelia @casteliamoonside - Tumblr Blog

I'm Cas. I'm into a lot of things, mostly video games, rock music, and anime. (Also please note that I'm NOT a minor.)

If you're on desktop, perhaps you'd like to see my site's actual layout here!

My primary interests at the moment are Deltarune and Touhou, though it's also possible that I'll post about my other interests. These could include the Persona series, Nintendo games, Sonic, and whatever the hell else my brain decides to chew on at any given point.

A lot of my art reflects my interest in angst and introspection, and I do also occasionally draw blood/gore. Some of what I post might be upsetting or intense, so please keep that in mind.

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoy my dumb musings.

Pose practise featuring that one sprite of Yuuka Kazami from her appearance in Seihou 2 (Kioh Gyoku). It's such an interesting piece of art, and a really unique pose especially from ZUN around this time.

#touhou #東方project #touhou project #touhou fanart #seihou #yuuka kazami #fanart #my art #seihou is so interesting to me #especially seeing ZUN's art at a time in between the pc-98 era and eosd #this is not an easy pose to draw #i know some people criticise ZUN's art style but i have to say i'm finding it really charming the more of it i come across

Are you KIDDING me

I came to the incredible realisation that I can make more four-panel comics for Boundary High. Provided I have the time and motivation, I'd definitely like to expand more on the characters and setting predominantly through these kinds of comics (and sketch pages, too).

So my Mokou Mii fell out of love with Kaguya in Tomodachi Life, and while I managed to quit without saving and restore it, it makes me wonder. Is it possible that a relationship between two Miis is doomed to fail behind the scenes?

It's taken them genuine weeks to get anywhere, and Mokou actually wanted to change gears and crush on Reisen instead at one point. They're both at the 'wants to confess' stage now, so is falling out of love a random occurrence, or is it bound to happen for some Miis?

I feel like clashing personalities have something to do with it, but I've also read that personality types don't really matter for Mii romance, unless that's only for developing crushes in the first place and not actually pursuing them. Reimu and Marisa have personality types that you'd think would clash, but they're happily married and have been pretty much since I started playing.

Welcome to Boundary High!

Finally expanding on my Touhou school AU a little more with some of the ideas I mentioned in my last post. Boundary High is located in a modern-day Gensokyo, populated by students and staff from around the land. The Hakurei Barrier still exists in this universe (Reimu tends to it only because her unseen mother, the actual Hakurei shrine maiden, is always away), so nobody from outside of Gensokyo attends the school.

Gensokyo is pretty big, so I've been trying to figure out how the students get to school. A bus would be funny (especially considering Cirno's Perfect Math Class), but I also had the idea that Yukari opens gaps for all the students at a certain time each morning to get them straight there. Not sure which one I'll settle on just yet, though...

More of my Touhou high school AU! I think I'll end up calling it 'Boundary High', or something.

I've been mulling over ideas for this AU for a while since the last time I posted about it, but seeing the video for beatMARIO's version of 'Cirno's Perfect Math Academy' gave me some direction (hence where this post came from). I've had plenty of thoughts, and I'm hoping to sketch some of the more coherent ones out and post about them in due time.

Terumoko dump, because these two have REALLY been on my mind lately...

#touhou #東方project #touhou project #touhou fanart #imperishable night #kaguya houraisan #fujiwara no mokou #terumoko #kagumoko #fanart #my art #consider this a palate cleanser after my last post lol #i've been especially harsh on myself in regards to my art lately so i tried to just have some fun with these ones #which is why i used official pngs too (plus it's funny)#i NEED to find higher-res versions of their official ZUN art #if it isn't clear the top-left doodle is meant to be them at the human village

Trial of Guts

Inspired primarily by the fact that every team's post-fight dialogue with Mokou in Imperishable Night's Extra Stage involves eating her guts in some form. I understand this to be wordplay based on the 'Trial of Guts' they talk about being a translation of a Japanese phrase similarly mentioning guts, but I still found it amusing nonetheless.

I also know Mokou could pretty easily bust out of any sort of captivity by setting herself ablaze, but according to the same dialogue exchanges, she really seems to just give up if she's too tired. Enough deaths and resurrections in the same fight and she'd probably just give up her guts and wake up with a sore stomach the next morning.

Examples below the cut (sourced from the Touhou Wiki):

#cw blood #cw gore #cw cannibalism #touhou #東方project #touhou project #imperishable night #fujiwara no mokou #remilia scarlet #yuyuko saigyouji #kaguya houraisan #terumoko #kagumoko #if i had a nickel for every time i've drawn cannibalism?? i'd have two nickels??#though i guess this isn't technically cannibalism with the way touhou treats its youkai/otherwise non-human characters?#i chose remilia and yuyuko mostly because to me they seem the most likely out of the game's protagonists to actually eat guts #well honestly marisa would probably do it too #it looks a bit like mokou's eyes are shut but they're just eyebags beneath non-visible eyes for stylistic purposes #yuyuko was fun to draw too actually #ever since i made her mii in tomodachi life i've wanted to draw her looking a bit frail and corpselike to match her being a ghost

Ayayayaya!

#touhou #東方project #touhou project #touhou fanart #aya shameimaru #fanart #my art #i don't know if she's meant to have wings or not but her official art in multiple games doesn't seem to include them

Stupid idea that wouldn't leave my brain for a week.

Reach for the Bug Spray, Immortal Smoke

#touhou #東方project #touhou project #touhou fanart #imperishable night #kaguya houraisan #fujiwara no mokou #terumoko #kagumoko #fanart #my art #i can see kaguya thinking bugs are fascinating little creatures #every ship has to have the one who likes bugs and the one who hates them #no idea if mokou would actually hate bugs but here we are #i thought it would be fun #considering how mokou talks a lot of shit before you fight her but when she gives up she really gives up #i guess she could just roast them and not worry about it #if i had a nickel for every time i've drawn something involving bugs and a jojo reference i'd have two nickels etc etc

catamavis

something something yuri

#YESSSS thats what im fuckin sayin!!

hiiiiiiiiiii ur so cool thank you for feeding me! :33

Aw thank you!! :D

I figure this is about my recent Terumoko posting. I love those idiots so much, and there really doesn't seem to be all that much content for them considering how potent with tension that ship is.
