girl who in seven years time will become an international incident: ive been thinking of mastering the sword arts
it feels like i can say whatever here and it'll get lost into the abyss as long as i dont tag it
five years ago i graduated highschool then proceeded to get into med school purely to be like eirin yagokoro because i thought she was peak feminine performance and when i failed pharmacognosy in second year first semester i imagined her being disappointed in me and nearly broke down crying in class because the idea of her expectations for me being unmet was more lethal to my soul than any other sin
YOU DID NOT HAVE TO SAY IT 😭
I WAS LITERALLY THINKING "This gives me Yorihime vibes but I've literally never read her shit" THEN YOU TAG HER
:]

Oh my god now that I have new eyes on my blog do I have to actually introduce y'all to Nine
@noamie-nomie I indeed have nothing better to do than yap. Behold: the dumbest character ever.
See I one day got so fucking tired of KKHTA not doing anything fun with Yorihime other than "kill people kill people kill gods and also kill people" so i have decided to snatch this malformed little creature of chaos and put her in my yorihime multiverse (explained later). She's based on my own understanding of KKHTA Yorihime — here I interpreted Satori's shock at being unable to read her mind and remembering koishi as "oh my god she's just like my sister", meaning KKHTA yori would have a closed satori third eye. In KKHTA's 8/9 part of the final episode she's supposed to have been killed by getting blasted in the face by Kaiju Reimu and Kaiju Marisa, taking both out in the process...
Nine is a product of the hypothetical scenario where she did not die because somebody (😈 it's One, it's of course One) picked her up and went "ts so embarrassing twin🕊️🥀" and decided to give her new purpose: to help in the Multiverse Conflict™®© (I promise I'll explain later)
Visually, the mask and the arm are necessary compromises after her Grievous Bodily Harm due to that battle. The prosthetic arm's muscles are the tendrils of her third eye, allowing dexterity. The mask mostly keeps her skull in shape after it nearly was completely blown off. One of course offered a substitute body, but the Lunar Capital of Nine's world saw switching vessels as a waste of resources; it can still move, so it can still be put to use.
Mentally, she's functionally similar to Koishi: operates purely off subconscious intent. Yet, after years of battle training on the moon to eventually bring the Lunar Descent Ceremony to fruition, this subconscious looks a lot more like a honed blade dedicated purely to kill than innocent playfulness. Another difference is that she also has combat training, so she's almost always quiet, speaking only when spoken to and doesn't quip.
It's now later and we must explain wtf how the multiverse here operates before we can get into the rest of her lore. Basically, think of a large network of roots (universes) all spreading out from the prime (Touhou canon) timeline, which is 000. The numbers for each AU Yorihime are supposed to show how canon compliant their AUs are — that's why Nine is from 999, because KKHTA is the most noncanon stuff to disgrace our eyes /pos. One, the only person who Nine has some semblance of a friendship with, is a Toyohime from 001 (that's why she's called... Yeah... I'm creative like that... #art #moon)
Initially she was dropping by for a #sightseeing_tour and she noticed how much of a travesty the KKHTA universe is. After gloating a little about how this is totally validating her ideology and she was Absolutely Right All Along she notices that Nine is literally half dead and goes "girl you live like this?? your Toyohime don't give two shits about you?? Sad but expected— why are you following me?? Ugh. Ok let's give you something to do." That "something to do" happens to be helping One go around and bring about the Multiversal Apocalypse but shhh that's not important right now...
But yeah that's about all the lore I have written for her that ISN'T spoilery.
When you thought it would be easy peasy lemon squeezy but it turns out to be difficult difficult lemon difficult.
Wait that’s actually really good, gonna pop this out of the tags
Oh my god now that I have new eyes on my blog do I have to actually introduce y'all to Nine
I am a starving woman in need of more watatsuki hcs(ESPCIALLY YORIHIME) so would you please kindly share more of your yorihime hcs 🥺🙏
In no particular order:
Her ability is literally just weaponized Shinto panethon Autism
Very protective of her rabbits and has no issue speaking to them like they're on her level, mostly because being too harsh on them makes it harder for her to train them
While she absorbs knowledge well, she's very forgetful even of things she cares about, so she's constantly rereading books in hopes of remembering it all
Relating to #3, she depends on Toyohime to fill gaps in her knowledge, not knowing that Toyohime sometimes lies to her about some events to keep her from worrying too much or overexplaining herself to a suspicious degree.
Can be dependent on others for a lot of things — #4, summoning gods for combat, etc. making her ever so slightly paranoid that she'll be tossed aside eventually, a fear that's considerably worsened after Eirin left. It doesn't help that Toyohime's becoming more and more like Eirin as time goes by, making Yorihime afraid that she, too, will leave (she says something to this effect in CiLR ch.3 actually). Training the rabbits helps with this, because it's a role she knows nobody else wants to fill.
The aforementioned dissociative issues — though she doesn't know they're dissociative nor wants to acknowledge that they're issues. Having issues would mean she's not working hard enough, and not working hard enough would mean she's not enough.
The strictest aspects of her are her trying to be like Eirin (someone who she looks up to a lot), but she remains unaware of how damaging Eirin's training was to her — a "that's normal, no?" type scenario where someone needs to sit her down and say that having a thousand-yard stare at age 7 is in fact not normal. (This one is based on a gag in Inaba of the Moon/Earth)
Terrible at self-care due to feeling like she has to earn her worth (being literally named after your job would do that to anyone). Will work for entire weeks or even years without a lick of sleep or a bite of food. Due to the moon's nature, this doesn't cause any physical issues, but Toyohime often has to pull her away from work to get her to chill a little.
Related to #7, she doesn't remember being a child. Toyohime does, but when the two reminisce on something together, Yorihime's always the one taking a pragmatic and dry approach to what should be a sentimental thing. Maybe it's the disconnect from it all.
Uses her book-laptop to recordkeep and communicate with the capital when she's on duty. She also doodles in there when bored, but doesn't show it to people because it would break the image of the Serious One.
Only transformed into a wani once, and that was after being stressed out so badly she couldn't keep up looking humanoid anymore. Proceeded to instantly transform back into a humanoid form the second she could because it was "unsightly".
Feels guilty over Reisen's perceived death of Rabbit Stew because Reisen was yet another one of the responsibilities Toyohime delegated to her. She doesn't want to repeat the "mistake" with Rei'sen, so she trains her twice as hard as all the other bunnies.
Finds Reimu very interesting and cool and pretty and if Yorihime was a guy she'd totally kiss her but she's not so it's impossible. Totally. Yes, she is deep enough in the closet she might as well be in Narnia, why do you ask?
Since she analyzes social interactions in terms of math in CiLR, I like to think that she's a little socially aloof. Probably spent a lot of time trying to copy Toyohime's philosophical monologues just in case an earthling shows up and she has to fight them while looking awesome.
Happiest while doing something routine, takes comfort in rigid patterns and hates abrupt change.
Her philosophy for problem-solving is "do the same thing but better". This is great for fights and danmaku battles, not for the creeping feelings of anxiety when Toyohime's being a little too distant.
Is on extremely good terms with all of the amatsukami of the Lunar Capital, since she takes care to summon them with the proper rites and doesn't simultaneously summon gods that have interpersonal conflicts with one another.
Probably knows who the Hakurei god is, but doesn't tell Reimu out of principle. After all, a shrine maiden must put in the work to connect with their god. Having someone else intrude is just so improper. Reimu must study harder, you know. Like she did.
When she was born, Toyohime was somewhere in her early teens (or whatever that looks like to a Lunarian), so she got doted on a lot by her. Eirin not so much. Moon-era Eirin never seemed to have much affection to anyone at all.
Related; whenever she wanted to ask Toyohime something when they were kids she'd walk up to her like this and stare until Toyohime asked what she wanted
we as a society need to be more appreciative of how turnip-shaped ZUNart yorihime is
She's radiating "lonely child whose nose is always in a book to block out the Horrors" in the ZUNart of her. TOKIAME and Aki⭐Eda basically take all the credit for creating epic and serious Yori in the fandom's perception when in reality she just looks like a lost child at the mall

writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months

Finally wrote a fic with my dissociative Yorihime HC after keeping it under wraps for— [checks notes] seven years???? Anyway, hope you enjoy. Would love to hear what you guys think about it or if you want to know more about the Thoughts In my Mind

Crazy how Reimu was forcefemmed on the moon by the Watatsuki sisters when she was forced to stay
