Note

what are, in your opinion, the best ships involving Sannyo? I'm easily influenced by canon so I'd say mamizou is pretty good. i saw what you said about seiga and while it's true i hate seiga with a passion

[All art used is sited with the reliant link at the bottom]

Truth be told, I'm not much of a shipper personally, but I have a lot of fun seeing it from different people and thinking about where it comes from.

But this will be fun. So fun, that im going to take this thought way further than i need to. Hopefully I'll have a good number of ships by the time I'm done over analyzing this.

(I actually mentioned that about Seiga because its the only time I've ever seen that ship before, let alone seen any art for it, and was thinking up how it happened, it was cute art after all)

There's actually a much more common ship with a similar character chemistry pairing Sannyo with Yachie,

but this ship makes a bit more sense because not only is Sannyo a dragon fangirl, Yachie even looks a lot like her pipe. In fact, if you used her tail with its length in Touhou 19 you could probably even stretch Yachie into its exact shape, plus a bonus shell.

(A pretty fun mental picture)

Anyway, the over analysis starts here

______________________

Obligatory Disclaimer:

[Any Readers keep in mind, that even though I said you can think these up using canonical sources as a basis, that does not mean I'm claiming any of them are canonical relationships beyond possible friendships. There are also plenty of other ships that are possible with characters shes not likely to interact with that have just as much potential for cute dynamics]

Ships that can be thought up from the canonical sources.:

Well, first I'll do the ones from Lotus Eaters.

The easiest one to pick is definitely Mamizou. The entirety of Lotus Eaters Chapter 30 was more or less them having a fun and cheeky back and forth.

There is also Miyoi if you want to think of it that way since they are business partners and it's cute seeing her get both encouraged and picked on by Sannyo.

If you want to really be funny, and really stretch the imagination, you can joke about the Ponytailed Yamawaro with the surprising amount of screen time, since Sannyo helped her cool off when she was yelling, and more or less helped her when she was crying.

I mean look at that sad face

Those are the ones from Lotus Eaters.

Now Unconnected Marketeers gives us a few more things to build off of,

Sannyo has a funny back and forth with Sanae, and they both knew about each other before the incident, so that could be interesting.

(Though people can understandably find interactions with any protagonist to build off of if they see it that way)

The next one is since Sannyo lives at Heavens Shelf right beside rainbow dragon cave, Sannyo therefore lives very close by the dragon eater Momoyo too, which is definitely funny.

A surprisingly popular one is Sannyo with Misumaru, this one makes more sense then you might initially think, it comes from Sannyo's dialog implying she's been asked to keep humans out of rainbow dragon cave by someone. That person could only have been Misumaru. Idk how she'd have met her though. One particular artist really loves this ship

Misumaru doesn't technically live in the dragon cave but she definitely uses it sometimes and they both have some mentor energy going for them. My impression of Misumaru just from in game is she has some really proud but also no nonsense aspects to her personality. So it might be fun to see how she could interact with Sannyo.

For the same reason of being nearby, people could potentially ship her with Takane. She lives nearby the Yamawaro and they are both business ladies after all. I think the reason I haven't seen that one is Takane is a bit more hard professional and might not have as good of a back and forth with Sannyo. Especially when Takane has the far more obvious option of Nitori.

She lives nearby the Tengu too, so if someone decided that was enough to go on then they could ship her with any Tengu.

She even says "it's no wonder That Tengu has a high opinion of you" to Sanae.

[We can assume "That Tengu" is Megumu but people can definitely interpret that as someone else if they want. I think ive seen someone assume she was talking about Aya back during the Demo even]

Making it possible to have an argument for Megumu, Aya, Hatate, maybe even Momiji. But given Sannyo's : "you don't need to know about that......., actually i don't know either" flavor interactions with protagonists, it might be hilarious to see her interact with the Tengu.

Unfortunately there is no Sannyo x All Tengu picture to use so have the Megumu laugh Scene from Lotus Eaters:

Thats it for the ships you could extrapolate from UM interactions.

The last ship based on canon sources is Nemuno, they are different versions of the same Yokai species, Nemuno being a Yamanba, and Sannyo being a Yamajorou, a more outgoing version of the species. They both live in the mountains so it's possible for Sannyo to give her a visit if she wants, but Nemuno probably wouldn't travel too far personally.

In conclusion:

_________________________________

Finally I'll actually list my favorites:

My favorite ship though is easily with Mamizou. Mamizou and Sannyo had some really fun interactions.

Despite generally not often thinking about Misumaru, I've seen so much cute art of this ship on Pixiv that it makes me kinda like it. They do have compatible personalities so I can't say it's unreasonable.

I feel like she could have potential with Megumu. A Daitengu might be above Sannyo's metaphorical pay grade, but it could be fun. And they apparently are on speaking terms. Plus, you can read Megumu Iizunamaru as Dragon, and thats fun.

[But that's a tough sell, Megumu already is pretty cute with Chimata, has Tsukasa Mythology, and that great running dragon joke with Momoyo]

I think the mental picture of stretching Yachie out into a pipe shape might have sold me on that ship just now too.

So anyway, that's what I came up with for favorites.

Sannyo x Yachie art by: stank

Nemuno fish art by :0-DEN

Nemuno soy sauce by: atoki

Mamizou x Sannyo art by Biyon

#touhou project #question response #sannyo komakusa #I appreciate Seiga though. She's funny and a useful character type. But it's definitely unusual seeing her shipped outside the Taoists #I really need to learn how to do a short post #I also think the Mike and Sannyo being buds stuff is cute but idk if I've seen the art used in a “ship” type way yet. Just friends so far #I'm actually surprised a Yuuka x Sannyo hasn't appeared. Since they both love flowers and are popularly gap-moe #Sannyo komakusa shipping

Matsurika no Kei -kEi - Tenmeiiniden

マツリカの炯 - kEi - 天命胤異伝

NO-SPOILER OVERVIEW OF SETTING AND CHARACTERS

SETTING

The game is marketed as Sino-fantasy and “Mature” romance. It takes place in this fictional country Gekka no Kuni (月下の国), quite simply the “country under the moon” and, the surrounding unnamed countries and small villages and peoples. It’s sort of like the greater Han Chinese culture plus the small ethnic groups like those in Mongolia, if we were to make real life comparisons. The vibe is very much an ancient society that is brutal and shit’s unfair, but that’s how it is. The caveat is that magic is real. Mystical Beasts are very real and known to exist, as well as people called Senkou (仙虹), or Sages, who are ordinary humans who, through many years of intense training and study, become very long-lived or immortal and gain essentially magical abilities.

The creation story plays a pretty big role in the story as a whole, with different individual components being highlighted in each of the routes (that I have done thus far). The creation story says that 999 years ago, the land was being terrorized by Shikyo (四凶), or the Four Calamity’s, which are Mystical Beasts. They were defeated by the Shiseijuu (四聖獣) or Four Holy Beasts, also Mystical Beasts, who worked hand in hand with a great sage Ko Unyou who went on to create the country.

Now, our MC, “Naya” is from a small and very mystical village “Matsurika”, which lies just outside of Gekka no Kuni in the mountains north of the capital city. This village is very unique, being hidden behind a strange mist deep in the mountains, only accessible to the villagers and a special merchant who has the official seal of a Flame Merchant. Anybody who doesn’t fit these requirements would simply get lost in the mountains if they walked past the line of Red Jasmine Flowers and into the mist. If you try to take the Jasmine that grows there out of the village, it turns to dust the moment you step past the line of Red Jasmine. It only grows in Matsurika village, and nowhere else.

In this village that is shut off from the rest of the world, they don’t worship the Shiseijuu. Instead they worship Keisei (蛍聲), who dislikes fire, which makes it so that it’s impossible to start a fire in the village. Due to this, they must purchase fire from the Flame Merchant every three months, as no matter what they do, the flame always dies out after three months. As they don’t have money, they barter with uncut gemstones referred to as Hougyoku no Genseki (宝玉の原石), which can only be differentiated from ordinary rocks with the use of the Keigan (炯眼), which are essentially magic eyes (think Naruto). The Keigan is an ability that only manifests in the girls of Matsurika village, and there is only ever one user at a given time. It is not genetic, and if the current holder dies, it will be passed on at random to any of the other girls of the village. It is our MC that has the Keigan.

THOUGHTS ON WORLD BUILDING

I think it’s very fantastical, and feels a lot like I’m reading the inner details of a mythological story. All of the characters feel very much “of the setting”. Naya, the MC, is raised in a very safe and sheltered village receiving a lot of love and care growing up, but the outside world is harsh and unforgiving. Gender roles are deeply embedded in the culture, and the importance of marriage and having and raising children is just a part of life. A small village like hers needs all the people they can get, and they all celebrate and raise children as a village.

On the other hand, Gekka is a very big country with many people and places within the country that suffer from the usual: poverty, illness, starvation, cruelty, discrimination, etc., and it isn’t uncommon for children to be abandoned or sold.

I really feel that they did a very good job of incorporating the reality of the kind of deeply held beliefs and prejudices that lead to awful treatment of people for unfair, but very human reasons. The people of Gekka regard tribes and people like the White Wolf Tribe and Matsurika Villagers who don’t worship the Shiseijuu as “Kizoku”, who are essentially heretics or “unbelievers.” Matsurika Village has a belief that “mixed blood” children – children born from a Matsurika woman and an outsider – bring calamity and curse the village. They are taught from childhood to never ever mingle with outsiders or leave the village. They chase both mother and child out of the village, should it happen, and they have a deep disgust and fear of this.

I will say, the overall tone is very serious which given the setting is understandable, but I kind of wish they incorporated a little more humor and lighthearted moments. There just aren’t very many mental breaks from the harshness of life.

CHARACTERS

PROTAGONIST

System Default Name: Naya

She is one of five young women in Matsurika Village to become 18 and reach the age of majority at the Keisei Festival. As the holder of the Keigan, her job is to assess the stones gathered for valuable gemstones, which is essential for Flame Trade. She has a lot of pride in this position, and a deep sense of responsibility, as her mother was the previous Keigan holder, before she passed away in childbirth and passed the Keigan on to her. This is noted to be very unusual, as the Keigan has never been passed directly from a mother to her child in this manner. She was raised by Agedo, the village leader alongside his children, one of which is the game’s LIs, Fei.

I think her design is very cute, and I love the aesthetic of her and Maturika Village’s tribal attire. I’m not generally into heterochromia, but it doesn’t look bad at all on her. She’s not particularly headstrong, but she’s a sweet and earnest girl that outside of her magic eye is honestly just an average village girl. She honestly deserves better, oml.

THE LOVE INTERESTS

Age: 21 VA: Okamoto Nobuhiko Route Restrictions: Must clear Ruwo, Seirin, Zebenera, and Enrai routes.

The main man. His route is locked behind the four other LIs, so you know it’s a big deal. He is the only son of the Village leader, and apparently harbors some secrets/fears regarding his duties as a man of the lead family that makes him hesitant to act on his feelings towards Naya.

Personally I find his design to be the most appealing, and it’s interesting to see Okamoto play a character that’s more ~ fresh ~ and youthful, rather than deep, threatening and smexy loll.

Name: Ruwo Age: 23 VA: Yamashita Seiichiro Route Restrictions: None

The Flame Merchant, and the only outsider permitted to enter the village on a consistent basis. He’s very friendly and flirty, but he keeps people at arms length and doesn’t want to let anyone close to him lest he lose his drive to accomplish his goal. As a player of Twisted Wonderland, I very much compare him to Ace because of them having the same VA, and they have the same easy going attitude. I like his design fine, but I’m not particularly struck by it. It’s ok.

Name: Zebenera Age: 25 VA: Hatano Wataru Route Restrictions: None

The King of the White Wolf Tribe, who live in the snowy mountains north of the mountain where Maturika village is. He bears the burden and responsibility of keeping his dying people alive. He’s generally a quiet guy who isn’t good at conversation, but you can see that his actions all have a deep underlying kindness. I generally love white haired characters, and I think his fit is cool, and while I feel his design is good, it’s nothing special.

Name: Ko Seirin Age: 17 VA: Tachibana Shinnosuke Route Restrictions: None

The one and only prince of Gekka no Kuni. He appears to be very sheltered and naive to the ways of the world, as Naya first meets him getting in trouble for having accidentally stolen food from a vendor because he didn’t know that he needed to pay for it. However, he has deep self awareness of what is expected of him and his place in the political landscape, and struggles with a deep sense of loneliness. I’ve never found the beautiful type characters immediately attractive, but I don’t dislike his design. It’s very ethereal, and the voice acting does a great job balancing that soft lightness and hints of darkness.

Name: Ku Enrai Age: 27 VA: Horie Shun. Route Restrictions: Must clear Ruwo, Seirin, and Zebenera routes.

The head of the Ku clan, which is a powerful family with the longstanding trust of the Imperial Ko family. He is the designated educator of the prince, Ko Seirin. He is a very intense guy with deep loyalty to Seirin, and wishes to see him become a great leader and King. His clan has an old, long standing desire that is very close to being realized. I wasn’t that into his design at first, but it grew on me pretty quickly. Also has major Sasazuka vibes, with him being an asshole and a manlet.

COMMON ROUTE

The story begins with the approach of the annual Keisei Festival, and the sudden inexplicable extinguishing of the flame just one day after it was purchased. Naya, having a map given to her by Ruwo, makes the decision to go to the capital of Gekka breaking the rules of her village, to buy another flame and come back before this incident is discovered by the rest of the villagers and in time for the Kesei Festival.

From there we begin to branch out into two major story flows, which further break down into the individual routes. One gets her involved with the Imperial Love Interests, and the other has her leading into the rest of the routes.

Without revealing too much, Naya ends up fucking really going through it. Like it’s super fucking depressing. The end of common route is just. Man. If you want to feel the full impact of it though, I suggest going through either Zebenera or Ruwo first. It still happens in the leadup to Seirin's route, but it just isn't as visceral and personal as it is in the lead up to either Zebenera or Ruwo routes.

ひとりぼっちの雨の日は、

いつもの場所で雨宿り

ポトン、ポトン

雫はレインドロップス

ポトン、ポトン

雫はキャンディドロップス

足元に虹色の水たまり

待ちぼうけで夢の中…

◆心の中の雨の雫（Raindrops）=涙（Teardrops）が、飴玉（Candydrops）に変わる。現実は苦しくとも、想像の世界では夢を見ることができる。

ぬいくんにんぎょう制作記 #1 レジンアイ編

スプラトゥーン自機のぬいくんのおにんぎょう(キャラドール)をつくりました。素体としてヘッドとボディを購入し、ゲソをねんどで、アイをレジン(ジェルネイル)で作り、メイクしました。本記事でやったこと及びこの後に続く作業に関して、どの分野においてもまったくの初心者の記録であり、ドールカスタムの情報としてはなんの参考にもなりませんが、おにんぎょうを作ってみたい人とか、ただ誰かのものづくりの記録を見たい人にとって、すこしでも益があれば幸いです。

注意: 本記事はドールカスタム制作日記であるため、改造中のドール素体、つまり生首、のっぺらぼう、すっぱだか、四肢バラバラなどの画像があります。この注意書き以降は特に配慮しないので、了承の上閲覧ください。とくに本記事は目玉がいっぱいでてきます👀

▲完成しているぬいくんにんぎょう

今回はアイ制作記録です。

使ったものはだいたいこんなかんじです。この作業にあたってはもともと趣味でやっていたネイルの道具と知識をかなり使ったような気がします。レジン工作とネイルって元々似たようなもんだし…

ヘッドの説明にかいてあった推奨アイサイズは8mmでした。8mmの半球を手に入れる必要があるため、シリコンモールドを購入しました。パーツクラブにて。半球シリコンモールドはよく見かけるものの、8mmサイズのものがあることは体感すくなかったです。見つけたらつかまえよう

追視構造を作りたいので、黒目部分にくぼみをつくる必要がありました。シリコンモールドの中央に、半球型のメタルスタッズを設置しました。本来はネイルアートに使うものです。ずれないように、ひっつき虫で底面を軽く固定して、表面には剥離剤としてオイルやワセリンを塗ります。今思えば、丸めた粘土とかでもよかったのかもしれないです。

この状態で白く着色したレジンを流し込みますが、自分は白いジェルネイルを持っていたので代用しました。

硬化後、モールドから外し、埋め込んだメタルスタッズまわりがオイルで硬化不良を起こしているので、やさしくほじってあげると…中のスタッズが取れて、このようなパーツが手に入ります。

中のじゅくじゅくしたところを追硬化して、バリを取って次の工程へうつります。ジェルネイルを使う場合、何回かに分けて薄く重ねていったほうがいいです。というかたぶん、素直に着色レジンを使ったほうがいいです………中が硬化されずぷにぷにしたものがいくつかできてボツにしたので…

くぼみの中を着色していきます。(写真なし) 絵具を練り込んだ粘土をくぼみの中に押し付け、はみ出た部分を取り除きました。ゲームグラフィックでは、虹彩の境目が青くふちどられているのがオシャレで特徴的なので、再現するべく周りを塗りましたが、ガッタガタになりました。

▲レジンコートまで済んだ目玉試作1号

虹彩の着色が済んだら、真ん中に瞳孔となるパーツを設置します。瞳孔にもメタルスタッズを使いました。銀のスタッズに絵具を塗っています。瞳孔部分にスワロフスキーを使ったキラキラアイに憧れていたため実は買ってありました。写真上部に写っているのがそれですが、サイズが合わなかったので使いませんでした。代用となった着色スタッズですが、光が当たると下地の銀色が透けてきらきらします。結果すごくいい仕上がりになりました。虹彩の着色と瞳孔パーツの設置ができたら、透明レジンで埋め・盛りをして、いったん完成です。

▲はじめてのアイ装着は、ひっつき虫がたくさんはみ出て目ヤニのよう

我慢できず、ヘッドに装着してみます。サイズはいい感じ、そして初っ端から追視がすごいです。ヘッドメイクは後日落ち着いてやるつもりだったのに、やっぱり我慢できず、手元の水彩鉛筆で下書きをしてしまいました。すごくこっちを見てくれます。

やばいおにんぎょうができてしまう。そういう予感がしました。

▲すんごい見てくる。

さて、アイの試作1号が完成して、いいかんじに使えることがわかりました。ただ、絵具でがんばってぬりぬりした虹彩のふちのガタつきが気になるのと、レジン作業が楽しすぎたので、間をおかず試作2号の制作にとりかかります。

白目を同じ工程でつくり、次にキラキラの青いねんどをつくります。このキラキラは絵具とかではなく、化粧品です。海外のコスメブランドのもので、個人輸入してまで手に入れた品のため、まあまあ貴重なはずなのですが、、ぬいくんの目になるのであれば惜しくはないです。ちなみに、画材屋を見てる時に似た絵具を見つけたので、ラメを使いたい場合はそちらでいいと思います。(ホルベインのイリデッセントシリーズ)

ラメをぎっしり練り込んだ粘土を、ベースのくぼみにしっかり押し込みます。試作1号と違うのは、メインカラーの赤ではなく、ふちの青色をねんどでつくったことです。見ての通り、使う量はほんの少しだし、ラメなんか見えません。見えなくたって、お気に入りのラメが練り込まれているという事実が重要、まじないです、これは。参考にしていた記事では、ここから虹彩の深みを表現するために、違う色のねんどを繰り返し押し固めて層をつくっていたのですが、メインカラーの赤は直接塗りました。小さくて難しいので。

瞳孔には第一作と同じものを使用し、またその後の工程も同じくして、第二作が完成しました。比較すると、虹彩のガタつきが改善しています。ラメを練り込んだことなんて少しもわかりませんが、きれいに仕上がりました。進歩です。

水彩色鉛筆でガチャガチャに描かれたお顔ですが、すでにかわいいです。

げんきがあれば、お顔メイク編につづく。
