Touhou

You could probably wring a napoleon complex out of her insistence that danmaku is power, da ze and the huge honkin' annihilation of love but non-facetiously I don't think so

She gets to be the small man standing up to the big guys. And also shooting fairies with flashlights. Makes a person feel rad, taking down the giants. And friends who just got a lucky early growth spurt, REIMU.

Plus, being short and stout is the fuel that drives her devastating Peach Bomber

I was kinda taken aback upon learning that Marisa's 'fairly short', but then I remembered SoEW and she kinda looked a bit short back then.

Then again, she also had short red hair at the time (any fanon regarding that change?) so -shrug-.

She stopped bathing in lake of blood lake.

I like the idea that nobody's realized Marisa is so short because her force of personality adds another foot or two. Not sure how many centimetres that is for ya'll furners.

Mine's that Makai's miasma messes with hair colors.

Oh, on the subject of fanon, I did another thing of that Kotohime stuff I sometimes do. It's pretty big and so far I've only spotted one formatting error (right there in the freakin' title) and a line I forgot to apply an accent, so I guess it's alright?

I tend to never really like making a thing out of someone being short, especially any kind of complex about it. It usually just end up being a tired old joke everyone resorts to, and most of them think they're being clever about it, when at best it becomes a tired, old meme.

The only times I can see my way to liking it is when it's done with obvious affection, or is treated in-universe as a tired joke that they keep catching. I have a distinctive last name, so I can sympathize with that.

A new, short PV for the 4th Gensou Shoujo Taisen fan game was released recently. If you've got a Nico Nico Douga account you can view it here.

According to this, ZUN is testing out his newest song which is part of a future Touhou release, "Fantasia Immortal cupbearer".

Spoiler: The final boss is ZUN. He is the Immortal Cup (beer) bearer!

Is "Fantasia Immortal Cupbearer" the name of the song, or of the game?

Ambiguous, but probably the song both from context and ZUN's general naming sense

Sounds like the theme of an Oni. Fingers crossed for more Kasen or maybe the fourth deva.

Also hopefully that means Touhou 16 is nearer than we think. Lets hope for a C92 release!

Sharing news in 2016 posted on Thai wiki: Unfortunately, this place does not allow Japanese texts and certain punctuations so I can't post Japanese texts but nonetheless I can post the original source http://thwiki.info/th/votec/votec.cgi?no=10

(U Li L PS 4 sold only 6,000 copies) Not many people saw the point of buying just to get Extra Story. They can just watch it online instead.

(ZUN says: PS 4 is just a foundation) leaving U Li L PS 4 buyers stupefied.) Touhou might go multi-platform, making players concerned whether ZUN can keep up with updating patches on all platforms.

(T-R Ay Touhou fanart and doujin artists arrested for buying child) Dunno if the artist is tricked about the child real age or doing it intentionally despite knowing the fact. Link to works of the artist [1]

(Circle Liz Triangle announcing disbandment in Summer 2017) The circle creating Touhou music since 2008 has to disband cuz the singer has health problems and time limitation and thus retires. The circle founder thus intends to return to using the original name (Shinra Bansai) and continues.

Meanwhile on the Moon

I really love Liz Triangle so it sad to hear. I hope the singer gets better soon.

Just what does "buying a child" even mean? is that a mistranslation?

I'm assuming its either hiring an underage prostitute or Enjo Kousai.

That's what I feared.

The poll mentions 'childhood prostitution'. (This is why you should stick to 2D women).

Thank you for the correction. It was meant to be that but it was kinda lost in translation.

After going on an Archive Binge of Potaaju's 4-koma after seeing in the comments that this is the first new entry in three years, I will say that this artist has an odd and sometimes pervy sense of humor.

Hina Poblana

And that whole pool is done quite well.

I went to Japan and got myself a copy of Oriental Sacred Place vol. 1 because. Had I known the books are sold with the OST in it, I would've bought Strange and Bright Nature Deity vol. 2 since it contains the very lovely themes of the three fairies. Oh well.

Speaking of Sa BND, I find it amusing that Sunny once made up a lie about having a fourth member and now we have V Fi S where Clownpiece is more-or-less the fourth of the three youkai fairies of light.
