Touhou

Who?

Knowing (about?) Satori lets you remember Koishi. She exists in your mind by proxy or something

I'm fairly certain that that's the opposite of what that statement is saying. She reads books because it lets her see things from the limited view of a non-satori. It lets her vicariously experience lies and deception

Double Spoiler

I think Koishi closing her heart may not have directly caused anyone that already knew her to forget or stop caring about, but just caused new bonds to not happen. And then a millenia or so of not being a person caused everyone but her sister to stop caring about her

We're on the scallop, though

I'll back this

Is easier than the real deal and anything unique to her. Memory Sign "Brain Fingerprint" leaves me sleepless at night

First, it's Eva's plot that's hard to get, not the characters. Second, 'satori' is closer to 'enlightenment'

New transcriptions: Kogasa and Nitorin

Scallop Hatate has been around as long as she has

They are in the same stage with the same background. It's a pretty good guess.

So Nitori hangs out at the Genbu Marsh, interesting maybe that's where the kappa village is located.

Lily Green, another alt-ego of Lily White. She wiles away the non-spring seasons writing highly acclaimed mystery novels and doing other stuff. Its a well known fact.

I'm pretty sure you made that up

I don't think I was the one who made it up.

I made it up. If it was not Bocaj, then it was my fabulous self.

Oh Yuyuko...◊ (New Finnish 4koma. If this is already mentioned sorry for missing that big 10 page dump since 6 this morning.)

Ah, has Genbu Marsh been mentioned outside of SoPM? I don't recall hearing of it

I think it appears in Eastern and Little Nature Deity.

It certainly gets a mention in Mokou's chapter in Cage in Lunatic Runagate.

Isn't Genbu one of the four heavenly beasts or something?

Yes. Yes it is. ITS THE TURTLE.

Huh. I'm going to assume that a marsh is also involved. Wonder if it'll show up in a game eventually

Even if it IS made up, its totally canon as far as Ask Charlie is concerned. As are Lily Green's two cats and love of historical porcelain nick-knacks..

@Finnish 4koma: Pic ID is 1152815 on Danbooru, translated

Probably best one in a while.

I know there's a something of Genbu in SWR, it's Komachi's "stage". I think it's a creek though.

I read it actively.

Ichirin and Tojiko were next on my list, although I just slept for 20 hours.

Nooooo. I wrote down a To-Do list of all the stuff I need to do, drawing-wise. 11 Items. One of which is Ask Charlie. bluuuh.

Oh yeahhhhhh, those were her other traits. Has Ask Charlie started yet, by the by?

20 hours of sleep? That is impressive, good sir.

@ finnish 4koma: oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Re: Genbu marsh, I think it may show up in the 3 fairies manga, unless Xianwu Ravine is someplace else... I think that's just an inconsistent translation? Since when it's named in Mokou's CILR chapter (4), it's describe very similar to what we see in the 3 fairies manga. It's near youkai mountain (volcanic activity formed it), and next to the forest of magic (Which means the forest of magic is either not a particularly old-growth forest, or it's further from the mountain than the marsh)

Also, the Garden of the Sun seems to be on or very near youkai mountain, given its description in PMISS.

It's possible Nitori hangs out at Genbu marsh because of its proximity to a certain willing test subject.

Yeah, this makes far, far more sense.

Heartstoppingly amazing.

I'm unfamiliar with the Genbu Marsh mentioned in these accompanying materials, but the name sounded faintly familiar to me.

After a bit of research, I found that the swamp stage in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is apparently called "the creek of Genbu", so presumably that either flows into or out of aforementioned marsh.

It's Komachi's stage. Its theme is Dancing Water Spray. Not to be confused with Fragrant Plants, which is the Forest of Magic theme.

They both have a rather nice arrange, which goes by the spectacular title of 'Falling Down the Ice and Fire'.

I'm really tempted to try and make a map of Gensokyo... there's a lot of canon "what's next to what". I mean, Nameless Hill is on a smaller mountain near Youkai Mountain. So Youkai Mountain is likely one of several other mountains... Youkai Mountain does seem to be the big landmark, which makes sense...
