As time goes on I am progressively more inclined to come back here. Twitter is shitting the bed HARD. Doubt I’ll need to but at least I already have this account in case the Muskrat decides to do anything.

[koobykarasu]

Updated a few things like using my new username and changing my pfp and banner. At the moment I have no plans to use this site again, but might as well prepare if the worst happens at Twitter. If not just follow me there instead @KoobyKarasu

I sometimes kind of want to come back to this place. But I wonder if it’s worth it nowadays~

The Tamamo Vitch theme kinda sounds like a Touhou extra stage boss theme.

Touhou 18 Extra Boss is tamamo, confirmed

[curiooftheheart]

Wait couldn’t there actually be a Touhou character based on Tamamo at some point? Since she is a yokai.

[mariakono]

at this point i don’t know, there’s only One Kitsune and she barely have any kitsune lore, and that’s ran. She’s not even a Kitsune! She’s just a shikigami called by Yukari to override the actual Kitsune that is Ran.

Since Tamamo is “some pretty fuckin’ important lore” in Japan (part of the three terrible youkai), i’d think ZUN would reserve a character like that for a Mastermind of a new plot (Boss 6).

And I honestly don’t think he’d do anything related to Kitsunes with Ran. Since, you know, youknow,

[koobykarasu]

Okay but ever consider the possibility that the original Kitsune that was Ran before the shikigami took over could’ve been The Mamo of May? We don’t really know much about that Kitsune, so it could be a possibility

I know i don’t post here anymore

But here’s a poll for which of the new Touhous I should draw https://twitter.com/Kooby521/status/1160762949386084354

[mariakono]

Touhou and Diamond is Unbreakable both share the same storytelling and character development principle

And it’s no coincidence that the former shares its name with the latter’s protagonist’s last name

[mariakono]

if someone wants to know why i’m saying that here’s why:

both series follow the formula of Slice of Life Punctuated With Incidents.

both series introduce characters who use their wacky and overly specific powers for selfish and malevolent goals, main protagonist (or in some case, best friend of the protagonist if they’re not here) handles them, a little whoopass, and the character isn’t thrown to the trash but rather stops being selfish and evil and reappears in the future on the good side

[mariakono]

also Touhou literally has the same spelling as Higashikata

Do you have any idea why people still tolerate Reimu? As a main protagonist she's utterly unsympathetic and impossible to relate to and yet she's still fairly popular. Any reason why it is like that.

She’s actually quite easy to relate to because of her constant failures. That was actually the whole point of WaHH according to a jokey response ZUN gave in the print works interview. She a deeply flawed character who’s driven by incredibly human appetities like greed and laziness, without displaying much in the way of malice. She doesn’t like her job much but is proud when she does it right, or when people rely on her. I feel like these attitudes are actually quite easy to relate to.

I also think it’s important to reiterate that she’s rarely malicious (although she can be petty). She’s just sort of the embodiment of someone just trying to get by.

Also she gets like a 5000% boost in popularity just from being the main character. That’s also true.
