Hi! I've been following you for a while, and I just wanna know I really appreciate the stuff you post. I've learned a lot about the environment and issues that hadn't crossed my radar because of you. And I appreciate that you're blunt about current goings on while still remaining optimistic. Hope you're having a good day!🫶
<3 Thank you very much aaaaa I'm so glad~ This is such a lovely message that made my day. :D Wishing you the best!
the embroidery spells "chiaki" ^_^
ooookkkk that makes a lot of sense im not wearing my glasses so it looked like he did a bunch of random stitches and i just accepted that as fact bc chiaki would do that
The Vanillite line. People are always like "ugh, it's just an ice cream cone, it's so uncreative" and those people are COWARDS.
YOURE RIGHT YOURE SO RIGHT
I love your Sumireko solo🥺
Thank youuuu!! 💖🥺
It was such a special song to sing... I feel like my voice naturally gets better the more passionate I am about the lyrics. And these hit hard so I’m glad if I was able to convey that. It means a lot to hear people liked it!
ChocoKayke's Wishlist
WISHES: I’m fine with any medium my Secret Santa can work with! My favorite characters are Hecatia, Keiki, and Yukari. My OTPs are MariAli and JunHeca! For prompts, maybe Marisa and Alice flying through the bamboo forest? Or JunHeca during the fight against the heroines in the dreamworld? And I generally like more serious/edgy (lol) JunHeca. Those are just ideas to get you started though, don’t feel like you have to follow them! I look forward to whatever you come up with.
PET PEEVES: Nothing comes to mind!
WON’T DO: Ships with Marisa other than MariAli.
POST-SCRIPTUM: My art blog is @chocokayke but it’s a sideblog, so I can’t submit this list from there. Just know that anything I post will be from there.
Idk where I expected Detective Satori to go, but this wasn't it. My original theory was Sakuya drugged Patchouli because she was working too hard and needed to rest. Touhou really just be like that, huh?
I have a whole bunch of asks just asking me for thoughts on various things, so I’m going to dump most of them on the one ask with the guts to come off anon. You’re welcome. Rambling essay under the cut.
A vengeful spirit possessing people seemed to be one of the first (half-plausible) theories getting thrown around, and maybe one of the more obvious ones, but I mostly hoped that it wouldn’t be that precisely because it feels like such a cop-out. Frankly, I think I was right on that part. Since it’s apparently going to be a recurring thing, I’ll wishfully assume that it’s going to get elaborated on later, but in a vacuum, “generic spirit looking to possess people for possession’s sake” is hardly a motive of its own while also making anyone else’s motives a non-factor. I guess a spirit feeding itself to people in the form of drinks is a pretty neat concept, if not for this mess surrounding it. We’ll see where it goes.
At least it wasn’t Koishi, though, so my hill remains un-died on.
Honestly, I’m still in some disbelief because this actually doesn’t even feel like ZUN’s writing to me, i.e. what Touhou is like, not just in quality (since that’s subjective anyway) but definitely not in style. I suppose that Meiling being a joke is maybe a bit disappointing but not entirely out of line with what little we’ve seen before, Flandre was a bit of a rollercoaster with some good bits - probably still a net positive, I guess, especially if you milk some more comedy out of her being weirdly eloquent but thinking the world works like a mystery novel with everyone at the mansion looking to backstab each other. Patchouli apparently spent most of her waking time possessed, which explains some of her behavior and could’ve been interesting if they actually lingered on it a bit longer instead of Satori just mentioning it off-hand. Orin provided most of the funny faces, and Satori’s role was nice and smug if very brief.
Remilia and Sakuya, however, got weirdly reduced into uncharacteristically faint-hearted damsels mostly acting shocked by everything. Unfortunately, I’m increasingly thinking that might’ve come down to artistic choice in how their expressions were drawn. I mean, if the script was the same but every “worried shocked face” was drawn as angry or something instead and the composition was different, it’d change their whole image. Sakuya in particular is actually one of my favorite characters personality-wise, but didn’t exactly get to shine here to say the least. “Eternal Meek” indeed. At least her kitchen-related eccentricities were a fun touch. The hate club pin on my lapel obligates me to suggest that ZUN just doesn’t feel inspired writing the SDM cast, but that’s only a small part of the problem at most.
As another bunch of anons have also pointed out and/or wanted explanations for - I just work here, man - there’s a lot of things that, while not strictly plot “holes” in the sense of being unexplainable, were just left hanging without any mention or explanation: the library’s broken lock, the messed up books, Meiling’s behavior since she wasn’t yet possessed at the time, what actually made Flan suspect her (unless it was just totally random), how Satori knew to get involved with this case in the first place, etc. Also, Remi somehow forgot what a detective is in chapter 4.1. despite already talking about Satori earlier and even calling herself an armchair detective in the past.
Whether you consider it a “fair” excuse or not, I think a lot of these issues might end up coming down to the artist’s inexperience with drawing a monthly manga written by someone else, and all the scheduling and communication issues that follow. Even the dropped plot points could be a result of them struggling to meet page counts and the last chapters having to be split up yet still seeming rushed in the end. Or they “could” be somehow explained in the future once more details about the spirit and its motives come out, but that’s hard to pin your hopes on, and if they were really meant to be mysteries in themselves, you’d expect some character to point that out too.
While that’s not exactly promising, at least inexperience is fixable (by experience). To answer some asks: yes, it does seem for now like Mortuarty will be the main antagonist here. No, she is not Mima. No, I don’t think they’re picking up a detective team member from the SDM, and I sure hope they don’t with how plain they’ve been so far. And nobody asked, but yes, I’m a bit worried that they really are going through the games in order. Although it might mean that I get the Mokou murder mystery I’ve been joking about for a long time, knock on wood.
Now,
gonna quit drawing, because nothing else i make will ever top this.
((OOC: I’M GONNA DIE THIS IS SO FUNNY I’M LOSING MY MIND IOKLJDFDF))
heca-tia replied to your post “Question for Orange, since Morton has a soft spot for Junior in...”
OOO, I totally recommend Bowser Jr's Journey! There's no shortage of Koopalings, and it really adds a lot to Jr's character! ... Plus, ya know, Bowser's Inside Story is good too. ��
YEAH I’m like SUPER hankering to get it! As soon as it was announced, I was like :0!!!!!!!!!!
And then when it showed the kids, I was like >8O!!!!!!!!!
I’m just a fool who hasn’t gotten to it yet!!!
