Okay, I think I should shut my mouth. But I can't. Why don't you tell me your thoughts...is Luna Child an idiot? I can't see her that way. Speechless, I can accept. Maybe shy. But idiot? Where the hell did that come from? In the manga, she seemed even smarter than Sunny Milk. Or that's what I think ( I read it a while ago, so...)
Sunny Milk is impulsive. Star is really smart. But I don't think that Luna is a nine...I just can't see her that way...
Tell me, can you?
-
Where are you even getting this from...?
-
touhou wiki xD
And the fandom often mentions it...
Edit: But...Just tell me...What do you think?
-
Oh. Probably because
Out of the three fairies, she might be the dumbest one, or maybe she just relies too much in her ability to make sound vanish that she's often the only one who fails to escape.
"I often see her falling down in the middle of the road. She's kinda dull." (West side woodcutter.)
"Even though she could walk without sound, she was tip-toeing." (Anonymous)
One of the characteristics of dumbness.
She isn't very practical when it comes to the use of her ability, but she tends to abuse it often. Fairies in general aren't that smart. That's probably why.
-
She seems more clumsy than stupid to me.
-
"Even though she could walk without sound, she was tip-toeing." (Anonymous)
I find this hilarious for some reason.
Anyway, it's pretty much because she relies on her power for everything, even if she doesn't need to or if it gives her away.
I'm more interested in how Sunnymilk is allegedly the smartest of the three. Star seems considerably smarter most of the time.
-
Nah, Sunny just have the spirit of a leader. She has great imagination, though. Star is the smartest. Everytime they get busted, Star finds a way to escape.
I think that Luna is kind of "disconnected" from the world...or, spaced out, or however you want to call it...Partially because of her power...
-
She got knocked up in a world where we know of two humanoid males and we've never seen either of them as a companion to her.
I'd say that's pretty dumb.

Three if Mr. Kirisame was feeling unfaithful one day.
-
Well, but, MOSTLY, she isn't THAT dumb...(not nine dumb...)
-
I suppose that's the one thing I like most about The Three Fairy stories I've read so far, is that these fairies aren't as super dense as one could think from reading stuff like Akyu's writings about them.
-

Yes, I also like that. Luna is my favourite fairy (and I like her personality and other stuff), so, when I found out about Akyu's description of her, I...to put it simply, my face was wtf'd

Wait, what?
-
Wait, what?
My exact thoughts xD
-
man, will ZUN ever make a character that defies cliches/stereotypes?
-
I think this is pretty much the same case with Cirno, or any fairy really. It's not that she's dumb it's that she's childish and lacks common sense, like all fairies. However, calling her an idiot is easier than typing 'she lacks common sense' and in some cases funnier, so that's what people go with. It gets exaggerated in fandom, sure, but it's really a matter of common sense.

Wait, when did Luna get pregnant...?
...Can fairies even get pregnant? ???

No freakin' idea, just as confused as you are.
And... I'd /guess/ so... maybe? I mean, like, if a fairy grew out of what-appears-to-be prepubescence, then they could. ... maybe?
It makes sense from a (normal) biological standpoint, but this is Gensokyo, so logic goes right out the window.

I'm not sure. PM states that the size of fairies ranges from doll size to ten year old child size, and I don't think a child's body is capable of bearing a child. On the other hand, maybe fairies DO get grown up bodies, but they're just midgets. They wouldn't be much taller than children. Then fairies could conceive...maybe...
Or fairies just poof into existence instead of being birthed....

I think - for sanity's sake - we may want to go with this one...
But that's completely off-topic! (I think...) My guess is, because I've yet to read any of the Three Fairies manga or the translated dialogue from 12.8, this:
Star's likely the most reasonably intelligent one. Book knowledge and common sense, here.
Sunny's probably more along the lines of Cirno: overconfident as hell and likely to rush into things.
Luna... eh... I'm just gonna echo what other people've said. Not /stupid/, but not horribly bright and relies on her power too much. (because the sudden/complete lack of noise totally gives her away)
Edit: Basing my admittedly lame assumptions on what I've read about them on TVTropes and the wiki.

Your assumptions are right, don't worry xD
Fairies are natural beings...Were they created alongside nature? Who knows...
-

Woo I'm correct!
Also, that's a good point. Someone, somewhere, threw out the theory that a fairy is directly tied to its natural counterpart (Cirno and ice, for instance) and that they'd disappear if that counterpart would 'end,' if you will.
-

Nthing wanting to know what this is all about.

I would become a part of green peace just to save fairies, you know?

Actually, I think Luna's a bit more distant. To me she seems more like an expy of Patchouli.
-
I think Kilga's just talking out his ass in the middle of a halfway-serious discussion.
-
Maybe he meant something we are not understanding?(Marisa: Is there something I'm missing?)
I won't say anything until I hear what he meant, so...
-
I'm pretty sure he's referring to the fact that Luna's in- game portrait in GFW looks like she's pregnant.
-
Oh THAT.
I thought she didn't look well, but that idea...never...crossed my mind...
but that's no reason to call her dumb...I think?
-
lol taking artstyle-shenanigans literally :V
-
xD
Well, I guess that most of the people here don't think that Luna is a baka. I'm glad xD
And we agreed that she is distant.
ANOTHA MISSION ACOMPLISHED!
-

Wait wha-
/me observes Luna's portrait closely.
Wow...it does kinda look like she's preggers....and now I noticed the rather clever moon to sun patches on her dress.
-
Never assume a girl is pregnant because of a belly. It will lead to great embarrassment when you congratulate her on her child on the way, and she tells you she isn't pregnant. If Luna reveals her pregnancy, then and only then will we know for sure.

Wait what does this have to do with the topic? xD Is someone implying pregnant girls are dumb?
-

No. He's saying don't congratulate someone who looks pregnant unless they tell you they are pregnant. That is, unless of course you're just a masochist or enjoy embarrassing situations.

No I mean what does Lunachild being pregnant have to do with her being dull or not?

Why do I feel like we just jumped into a whole different topic matter all together.

What? She-
Oh my God ZUN :V

that's like saying its stupid for a famous woman to be pregnant cuz no ones ever seen her with a famous man.
there are alot more males in gensyoko then the games show.
-
Are you implying that our dear Luna got knocked up by some ... common villager?!
-
Yeah I know, the comments from the passersby in the written works confirms another maybe twelve men.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought ZUN didn't do the character art for GFW?
-
Makoto Hirasaka.

He didn't.

no, I'm implying that not all faries are females.
-
Goddammit, now I have to take responsibility do I?
-
no, I'm implying that not all faries are females.
Ah, yeah, that.
-
no, I'm implying that not all faries are females.
You are now imagining a middle-aged mexican fairy with a thick mustache.
-
I'll get back on topic if no one else will.
Lunachild strikes me as someone who's distant and doesn't really care for all the nonsense that goes on. Like I said before, she seems to be an expy of Patchouli. The only thing that rules out my claim is the fact that she partakes her friends set up and just goes along with it...even though it seems she has to put up with the consequences of said pranks.
...Which would in turn make her a bit distant....wow it feels like my theory goes in circles.

-
except gensyoko is in japan. they are all japanese. being born in, and are from japan.
-
Is everyone in Gensokyo from Japan?
-
YES! well, Yukari could say otherwise... but fairies only exist in gensyoko.
-
Is everyone in Gensokyo from Japan?
Remilia and Flandre aren't. Meiling's of Chinese descent. Sakuya doesn't appear like she'd be Japanese either. Lunarians are from the moon oh wait moonrunes...
Yeah, they can't all be Japanese.
-

Being japanese in setting you would think a vast majority of the yokai and folks living there are japanese in origin.
Of course there are those like the SDM crew who came from locations other than Japan and I do believe there maybe instances where foriegners are spirited away to Gensokyo (at least those who are in Japan at the time). Also, take note of Eirin, Reisen and Kaguya who's origins aren't even on the fucking planet.
Also, on the subject before this one, why the hell would you go to a danmaku fight pregnant?
-

It's Gensokyo. You shouldn't let yourself be bound by common sense.
