Stuff you wish to see in fandom more

[Ran-Rii]

...Why not send that link request in a PM too, then? o.O



I'd like to see some portrayals of Alice as some sort of immigrant/foreign exchange student from Makai to Gensokyo; she knows more about the politics and history of Gensokyo than most of the actual inhabitants, including Patchouli, and in IaMP she comes across as if she hasn't quite gotten used to the laid-back, fight-happy populace yet.

Actually, heck, I'd like to see a well-written "Touhou High" story. Got at least one character for pretty much every archetype, and most could justifiably fit several.
Delinquent Mokou, rich-granddaughter-of-the-principal Kaguya, honour student Alice, asocial perpetual-library-dweller Patchouli, school idol Reimu, journalism club Tengu, tomboy Cirno, overly-energetic accident-prone Flandre, suprisingly-accademically-competent dunce Marisa, socialite Remilia, class president Byakuren, and so on.

Aaaand everybody forgot about Keine.

Needs more Keine x Mokou, I swear. There is not enough doujin of them.

Also, Delinquent Mokou... smoking?

Uh, you new to this planet, mang?

[pasu]

Off the topic of KeneMoko vs TeruMoko (I'm all for the latter btw it's my OTP eternity bla bla bla) I wonder how Eirin x Keine would be

Aaaand everybody forgot about Keine.

Needs more Keine x Mokou, I swear. There is not enough doujin of them.

y, you're joking, right? so much keinemoko in the world it hurts my terumoko heart

also, two pictures of mokotan smoking in this guy's gallery

you what makes me sad
its that on voile for every 5 keine x mokou doujin that gets translated only 1 reimu x marisa gets translated
TOO MANY MOKOTERU IN VOILE
NOT ENOUGH YUUKA X ALICE

[haoreos2]

Aaaand everybody forgot about Keine.

I was thinking of Keine as one of those types with unreasonably high study standards who caves under the pressure once a month. Also, Mima is that one student that turned up for a few weeks at the start of the year then never turned up again, but never filed a transfer form.




Yuuka the Yakuza would also be a fun read.

I C WUT U DID THAR.

[pasu]

Hmmm yeah I totally dig that mima idea

 

[Viola]

All I ask is of less NEET-Kaguya! Honestly, it's a little upsetting that I see more jokes and pictures of her in a NEET nature than her canon personality. So, more canon Kaguya!

If I had to say anything else- more sane(ish)-Flandre, less baka-Cirno, I suppose just more canon portrayals in general?

[AnonymousPondScum]

More Medicine Melancholy doing...Well, anything, really.

Also, more Hinaface. I NEED MORE HINAFACE.

[Alfred F. Jones]

Also, more Hinaface. I NEED MORE HINAFACE.

[Yatakarasu]

Loooooost. brb laughing forever

[Hinacle]

Someone needs to do a Byakuren version of this.

[fondue]

nearly pissed myself laughing from this

[MaStErSpArK94]

IT'S SPREADING! *Hides*

[AnonymousPondScum]

People making more of an effort to act rational and civil every time ZUN releases a lorebook.

I won't bring up THE debate that's prompted me to note this since it attracts flame bait from some quarters for spectacularly silly reasons, so I'll cite other examples I am less involved in:

 I can only stand people raging about Nitori's or Kisume's article in SoPM so long before it crosses from faintly amusing to irritatingly tedious. Sometimes schadenfreude just gets depressing.

I admittedly think ZUN tries a tad too hard to add a SERIOUS element to the story with some of the lore releases, but what the heck ever. He's probably way too sloshed to even imagine how aggressively people might wind up acting over their pet Touhou.

If by some chance you want to know PRECISELY which Touhou lore debate prompted this schpiel, please feel free to PM me over it.

...

On a less serious-business note, more space-marine Reisen, like in that one Halo parody video I can't find right now, curse my luck.

That was sad, cool, and funny as Hell at the same time.

these kinds of people seem to care about the canon lore for all the wrong reasons and usually have this fundamental disconnect between fanon and canon in only the areas where they shouldn't

can't deal with byakuren not actually being a saint trying to help everyone and kanako wiping the floor with her in debateland? as if you cared about it enough in the first place to realize that this was the case before sopm as well
can't deal with nitori being a total murderer assrapist? she is a youkai and a kappa, you are a tool for letting this get in the way of whatever you were imagining before
can't deal with kisume... uh... tricking kids? well that's just silly

Yeah, this prettymuch. I think.

(Though given Sanae's ending in UFO I am still very skeptical as to who or what to believe regarding Byakuren's behavior.)

And since apparently it's okay to bring it up here, the "debate" in question that's rustling my jimmies is some people here seem to be getting noticeably competitive about the Taoists versus the Buddhists and making Byakuren the butt of jokes for dumb reasons. I THINK they're making jokes, I'm having trouble telling whether all of it is just humorous jostling or if people are actually turning into massive tightwads about one fictional flying loli brigade versus another.

I like both parties as characters so you'll have to forgive me if I think the dichotomy is hokum.

[Goldom]

On that note, I think it's a little silly how many people are sure that 13.5 is gonna be a super-serious religious war with "real consequences." C'mon. They'll all be drinking together in the ending, same as always.

I'm anticipating numerous doujin going that route, but yeah, expecting CRUSADES MODE is a bit daft.

I see it more as "the human village is bored shitless and the temples are competing for prime time slots to keep them from going mad with ennui". :V

That much said, I would pay money for The Political Machine: Touhou Edition. :getdown:

More on topic, I wish Koishi's Heart-Throbbing Adventure would focus on Koishi again. :V

[Drake]

To be fair I think all of the groups are in the right mindset but some simply know how Gensokyo and its residents and functions better than the others (coughkanakocough), and it's very well possible that good intentions can still lead to undesirable and unforeseen consequences. Byakuren getting to be the butt of jokes is probably more because of the rather odd unexplained choices she's made in her past, such as implying she saved Murasa but was totally ok with people drowning all around her.

Not really sure how heated such a debate that can really get tbh, unless they're being really incessant about it.

[AnonymousPondScum]

Just as long as the discussions don't head towards Christopher Hitchens territory in terms of both subject matter and sheer level of cynical antagonism---I've seen people pick dumb fights over even dumber things. But since you seem level-headed and fair enough about the matter I don't think you and I have anything to worry about.

(On that note, HEY JACKEREL STRIPE PATTERN STRIPE PATTERN STRIPE PATTERN.)

hinaface

[Error]

More badass tohos
Less fanservice

...i feel like i said this already.
More Hinaface is fine too.

[Yatakarasu]

Yeah, that would be cool.

[AnonymousPondScum]

Yeah, that would be cool.

I'd be happy with a conclusion to the showdown at the Scarlet Devil Manor, even.

There is ADD and then there is "I MUST INCLUDE ALL THE TOUHOUS EVER EVEN IF IT SENDS THE STORY WAY OFF THE RAILS."

[Drake]

But that's more OCD than anything.

[AnonymousPondScum]

But that's more OCD than anything.

It's ADD in this case because the guy takes nigh-forever to finish what they started and keeps adding stuff on a whim. I think. :V

[Yatakarasu]

Saw untranslated part 12. TD cast gooooo! For those that might not have seen it.

I would also like to know what the fuck is going on with Satori. :getdown:
Also I just realized something.

Spoiler:

When Okuu finds out that Orin was killed, nuclear meltdown. Or worse.

[game2011]

Intense battle between Byakuren and Miko.

[AnonymousPondScum]

Onis challenging people to thumb wrestling.

[Ikari]

Less rapey-Yuuka, more Yuuka being super clever and evil in her trolling, in a way you can only say ''God, I want to hit her and pray her at the same time''.
