Gojo x short!reader headcanons
Word count: 1,180 ish
Warnings: smut (minors DNI), SIZE KINK, slight praise kink, creampie, oral (f receiving), fluff, afab reader, she/her pronouns. Also the reader is described as curvy like one time.
Tumblr media
-Gojo Satoru doesn't actually see you in a romantic or sexual way at first. Not that he finds you unattractive, he's just never dated anyone that much shorter than him before or really even thought about it. He's never really considered himself someone who's into big size differences (which is kind of ironic because he's so much bigger than almost everyone lol). He thinks you're cute though. He also definitely likes the way you literally look up to him. Itty bitty thing, you don't even come up to his shoulder.
-He teases you relentlessly about your height, calls you shorty, shortstack, vertically challenged, you name it. He ruffles your hair and does that thing where he uses your head as an arm rest just to see the annoyed look on your face. The more he does stuff like this over time the more flirtatious it becomes even if that wasn't his original intention. Eventually it ends up being his way of blatantly trying to flirt with you although you might not realize this at first 'cause he just has a flirty personality in general.
-He thinks it must be annoying to be so short. How do you see over things?? (spoiler alert: you don't) How do you reach things??? Speaking of, he will purposefully move things out of your reach to watch you jump up to get them. He thinks it's hilarious (and also maybe he likes the way it makes your boobs bounce). After awhile he will offer to be your tall knight in shining armour and get it for you. But you always say no, you've been short your whole life and you can do it yourself.
-He appreciates that independent element of you, but at the same time, sometimes he gets annoyed when you break out the stepstool and actually do get it yourself so he will hide it from you just so you have to relent and accept his help. Petty? Yes. Effective? Also yes.
-He'll also sometimes refuse to bend down to let you kiss him just to see you do a cute lil jump to try to reach him. He never refuses for very long though because he just can't resist his cute lil girlfriend and her adorable pouty face. Then he bends down and squishes your cheeks until your lips pucker and tells you that you're too cute for your own good before finally giving you that kiss you wanted, and then a couple more to make up for him messing with you.
-He will offer to let you sit on his shoulders so you can see in crowds. No, you're not too heavy. He's the strongest, remember? No, this isn't about jujutsu, but the fact still stands. And it's definitely not an excuse to feel your thighs around his head, or anything like that...
But when you guys do get intimate, oh boy.
Tumblr media
-He never really thought about it before, but now he's kind of starting to like the way you guys are physically opposites - he's tall, lanky, and hard; you're short, curvy and soft. Even your hands, your legs, you're just so tiny compared to him and he doesn't know why that excites him so much now, but it does. He could really just pick you up and toss you onto the bed like a ragdoll. He won't though...unless you want him to?
Oh, you do want him to? Say no more, princess.
-In which case, he will toss you onto the bed and push those pretty thighs of yours apart so he can feel them around his head properly this time. And no, he won't stop eating you out until you beg him to, his tongue lapping hungrily at your clit and occasionally murmuring whatever thoughts fill his pussydrunk head about how good you taste and how much he wants you to cum on his tongue.
-He loves missionary but knows your head would literally be against his chest if he leaned over you too much during it so he usually sits up so he can get a good look at your face while he's pounding you. He loves loves loves holding your hand in his while he's doing it too, loves how his huge hand engulfs yours and how your tiny fingers grip his for dear life when he makes your eyes roll back in your head. He quickly becomes obsessed with how you look under him, your legs folded against your chest and your eyes glazed over with pleasure.
-He also loves to have you sit on his lap on a chair or couch, straddling him so he can run his hands along your waist as you slowly sink down onto his cock. He loves the way you curl up against him, your head resting against his shoulder. Your hand holds the back of his neck, your fingers gently combing through the short hair of his undercut as you whimper softly from the feeling of him stretching out your walls inch by inch. It's one of the few times he doesn't pound you, just wanting to take it slow and savor making love with you. So he wraps his arms around your middle and pulls you close, pressing your chest flush against his as he thrusts up into you gently but deeply, allowing you to feel every single inch of him slowly moving in and out of you.
-Other times he'll have you ride him like that, only to end up gripping the fat of your ass with those big hands of his to move your hips up and down on him, keeping you moving after your legs have already begun to give out. You can't bring yourself to complain even when you start to feel that burning in your thighs when his fat cock is hitting all of your sweet spots and you've lost count of how many times you've cum. And all the while he's moving you up and down, he'll whisper filthy things in your ear with that classic Satoru smirk tugging at his pretty pink lips from the sight of you so fucked out on his cock:
"Such a good little fuckdoll f'me. Gonna let me use this pretty body however I want, yeah? That's my baby, good fucking girl." ❤️
-Satoru says he was never into really short girls before you, but now the sight of you in his shirts and how they hang down to your plush thighs has his dick getting so hard so fast. Wear them without underwear and if he notices you will not be leaving the house that day (or be able to walk straight for days). He'll have you leave the shirt on while he's fucking you too, he'll just lift it up to get a look at the way your tits bounce when his hips snap against yours.
-He really does think you're the most beautiful woman in the world, and you're all Satoru's, and that thought alone has him painting your walls white and groaning a "love you s'much" against your lips as he fucks yet another load of thick cum into your already overfilled cunt.

If TK is a corgi, what would Carlos be? What about the rest of the 126 (if you're willing)?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Carlos is a Doberman! Mainly because I feel like people tend to dismiss them as aggressive animals with no heart bc of their built but they are actually one of the sweetest dogs.
They are protective and care so much for their owners and/or pack, I also think they were and still are used as police dogs, don’t @ me though! My second choice was going to be a German Shepard but I feel like he’s more of a doberman. It’s the vibe.

I see a lot about sensory overload, or just sounds that are super grating for people to hear no matter what. 
On the positive end of things, what are some sounds that you really enjoy? Sounds that you love hearing and/or find calming?

Never Have I Ever - A PrapaiSky Fic(let)
So the thing is, I haven't written in almost 4 years (and no. My WangXian short doesn't count because it was meant to be 31 chapters and I still have 30 chapters unwritten since Mayhem November last year).
But, @suga4mycoffee requested for a fic where Prapai is made to realize just how badly he fucked up, based on the tags I made to her post, so that got the dusty ass writing plot bunnies going and now you have a fic that I think is rusty af, but I hope you enjoy anyway Suga.
**
If looks could kill, Saifha was sure his twin would have had him drawn and quartered, buried in a shallow grave with no headstone to commemorate his passing. And if he were a nicer twin, he would probably have found remorse buried somewhere in the depths of his heart.
But alas, he is very much Payu’s twin, and bringing his brother a measure of discomfort and misery soothed his soul. The fact that it made Payu’s boyfriend just a little bit miffed, which in turn meant that Nong Rain turned those bright eyes of his on his boyfriend in a glare that would have withered a lesser man, was just icing on an already spectacular cake. 
Having Nong Sky and Prapai caught up in all this however, wasn’t something he had planned.
But… Did he find it entertaining anyway? Certainly. It was wonderful the number of secrets that a simple game of Never Have I Ever, which he is proud to admit was his suggestion, could unravel. Besides, when you looked at it from the right perspective, he really was doing them all a collective favour. Best to let them air our their fears and insecurities and hurt, so their relationships can be the more stronger for it. 
Really, he should be deified for all the service he’s been rendering. 
“Never have I ever had an ex draped all over me, even though I already have a boyfriend, and I didn’t push said ex off, the minute he pulled his shit.”
At the words, Saifha’s eyes snapped to Nong Sky, and then Prapai. At the same time, Nong Rain turned to look at his best friend, whilst Payu’s eyes were locked on Prapai. 
“That is… Oddly specific,” Saifha murmured, leaning back to watch the chaos unfold. 
Praipai meanwhile leaned forward, fingers flexing on his glass of scotch whiskey, already half empty, because Prapai apparently had very few Never Have I Evers, and although Nong Sky’s been smiling every time Prapai’s had to lift that glass to his mouth for a drink—oh to be young and sickeningly in love—there was no smile on his face now, as he waited for Prapai. As they all waited for Prapai. 
Praipai meanwhile had his eyes on Nong Sky, a softening in their brown depths that pulled a low sound from his boyfriend’s throat, had Nong Rain’s eyes widening, and Payu tilting his head the way he did when he was furiously trying to connect the dots. 
Saifha could feel his own eyes widening. Oh shit. He fucked up didn’t he?
“You saw?” The words came out in a whisper so low, the wind almost caught it and erased it. But they were all hanging on a thread, heightened by the hurt in Nong Sky’s voice, and the remorse in Praipai’s, that they all heard it. 
“Are you drinking or not P’Pai?” Nong Sky’s voice was cold. Gone was the teasing inflection that Saifha was used to hearing. And clearly he wasn’t the only one who noticed. Nong Rain’s mouth was open, and Prapai flinched. 
Saifha watched him take a deep breath, and down the rest of the whiskey in one gulp. 
He heard an explosion of sound as Nong Rain launched himself at Prapai, only to be pulled back by Payu. Saifha noted that the grip Payu had on his boyfriend was loose, barely restraining him as Nong Rain’s eyes spat way more rage than that little body should have access to. 
Saifha could tell. If Payu wasn’t holding Nong Rain back, Prapai would have had to deal with the nails and teeth of his boyfriend’s best friend who looked like he was minutes away from breaking free of Payu’s hold and dealing all the hurt he could at the man who’d dared to hurt his friend. 
And with the way Payu was holding him, Saifha could tell that he was really considering letting go, and giving Nong Rain the free rein to dole out all the damage he wanted. 
Nong Sky meanwhile seemed to let loose all the air that he’d held in, waiting for Prapai’s response. Saifha watched as he deflated, and curved into himself. His hands digging into the flesh of his upper arms as he rocked back and forth. 
“I’m sorry,” Prapai whispered, knees sinking to the floor right in front of Nong Sky, hands reaching out to touch him, and then pulling back, fingers flexing like he didn’t have the right to do that anymore. 
“How could you P’Pai? How could you?” Nong Rain’s voice kept rising, his feet trying hard to connect with Prapai’s shin. But Payu’s hold held strong and he couldn’t come close. 
“Why?” At Nong Sky’s whispered question, everyone quieted. Prapai slid a step closer, and Nong Sky’s eyes locked with his. 
Saifha could feel the moment when everything, and everyone else faded away for them. They were together, in their own cocoon of hurt and pain and regret. 
“Why are you sorry P’Pai?”
“I—“
“Are you sorry that you said you would be out in 5mins and you didn’t keep that promise? That I ran into girls there who were talking about how they wanted to fuck you? Are you sorry that they mentioned that P’Payu had made it clear that he had a boyfriend, but they had no idea that we were together? Are you sorry that they thought they had a chance with you because they didn’t know otherwise, because you didn’t tell them otherwise?” 
Saifha watched Prapai’s shoulders slump with each question that Nong Sky tossed his way. The younger boy’s voice was low and level. No inflection of the rage that Saifha would have expected. It was like he had sunk deep into the depth of all that hurt and pain; like they were were questions he had asked himself over and over again, until he had numbed himself to it, and disassociated from it all.
And Prapai responded with panic, eyes and hands reaching out to Nong Sky, trying to comfort, to heal, to soothe. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry Sky. I told him. I told him when he asked me, that I have a boyfriend.”
Saifha didn’t need to read minds to know that that wasn’t what Nong Sky wanted to hear. He looked at Payu who looked about ready to let go of Nong Rain so he could smack his friend in the head himself for being an absolute dimwit. 
Nong Sky’s voice dropped even more. “So you waited for him to ask before you told him?” He stared incredulously at Prapai who looked utterly wretched. “What if he hadn’t asked? Would you have continued to let him touch you P’Pai? Continued to let him drape himself over you.” 
Saifha watched Nong Sky reach out his hands to touch Prapai’s face. Watched as Prapai leaned into the touch, hands reaching out to grasp Nong Sky’s, as he whispered several “I’m sorry’s” against the inner part of his boyfriend’s wrist. 
“Why are you sorry P’Pai?” The question again. But this time, his voice was softer, less modulated. Saifha could see him softening. Everyone could see him softening. 
Prapai released a breath, relief whooshing out of him as he stood to his full height, then pulled gently on Nong Sky’s hands. The latter allowed him, standing up so Prapai could sit, and then pull him in to sit on his lap, further tuning out everyone else, as they sank further into their own world. 
“I’m sorry I hurt you. I’m sorry I made you cry. I’m sorry I didn’t immediately make it clear that I was taken. I’m sorry in trying to be kind and not hurt his feelings, I hurt yours instead. I’m sorry I was gentler with turning him down, that I was with handling your heart. I’m sorry it didn’t even occur to me that you would be hurt by it. I’m sorry, I’m only just telling you I’m sorry.”
Prapai pulled back slightly to look at Nong Sky’s face, fingers stroking his cheek, wiping away the tears that had made tracks on his face. “Forgive me?”
Nong Sky looked at him for a brief, suspended moment. 
Saifha was sure they all stopped breathing, waiting for Nong Sky’s response. 
And it came resplendent as the sun. A smile that lit up his face and had Prapai placing a murmured thank you against his pale neck, as Nong Sky patted Prapai’s hair softly. 
Saifha nodded, pleased at the result. Just as Nong Rain’s voice called out loudly “You’d better make sure it never repeats itself P’Pai. If it does, I’m coming for your head!” 
The statement had Prapai turning to glare at Nong Rain, who glared right back, with Payu silently laughing behind his boyfriend, and Nong Sky looking quite pleased. 
Honestly, Saifha really did think he should be deified for all the service he’s been rendering.
**
Oh, and for those who need context, here's the post that birthed this.

I think it's funny when my parents get frustrated with the way I act.
.
Like, you built this hardware, and formatted the software that runs it. You made the issues and have left them unattended so they became bigger issues??? I feel like someone needs to point that out to them.

I actually never maintain daily streaks of anything for more than like 3 days in a row. Not logging my mood on Daylio, not Duolingo, none of the games I've played, not practicing trumpet, not exercise, not even taking my meds.
And I genuinely love, actively enjoy, and want to do some of those things, and I'm sad when I don't do them (Duolingo, trumpet, sometimes exercise if it's a skill thing like archery).
This sucks because all of the advice for learning skills or having a healthy lifestyle or anything is like "form a daily habit of [x]" which I know is accurate bc otherwise it's easy to forget one day and then whoops it's been a month. Basically amounting to no progress.
What do I do?

(Decided to update the tier list a little bit (although looking at it now, I would’ve put Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream in between Mountain of Faith and Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom (and also Hidden Star in Four Seasons over Unconnected Marketeers)) and now I wanna explain my thoughts on them all like a Top 18 Touhou Title Screen Theme Songs video)
(So uh… read more time if you do want to read this very long post asdfsefdrgfth)
18. Subterranean Animism - Awakening of the Earth Spirits
Despite my dislike towards the difficulty that Touhou 11 has, the theme for its title screen works well. I like its frantic, yet mysterious feeling, and it fits well with the game’s feel, since you’re rushing through what was formerly Hell. It warrants the frantic feel of the song.
Otherwise, I dunno. There are other songs I think are better than it. (It might just be my dislike for Touhou 11 striking down again though ^ ^;)
17. Phantasmagoria of Flower View - Flower Reflecting Mound ~ Higan Retour
This one’s very calming. I really like the atmospheric feel it goes for with this one. Especially with this one smooth piano-like jingle in the song that persists in some of the other songs in Phantasmagoria of Flower View.
I will say that there’s three things that keep it at number 17. The first is that I like the other title screen themes more than it. The second is that even though the percussion is one of the more emphasized things in the songs of Touhou 9, I wish the drums were softer for this song in particular. They feel too strong, but they aren’t used too much in the song itself, so that’s at least fine. Finally… I hardly play PoFV, so I don’t really get to hear this song a lot.
16. Unconnected Marketeers - A Rainbow-Crossed Gensokyo
Maybe it’s because that this one’s still kinda new that I don’t really have a lot to say about it. I don’t listen to it much, but I still think it’s great. It’s slow, calm, and it honestly feels like it’s telling some kind of unheard of knight-like story.
I don’t really got much to say to it, I just think it’s pretty neat overall!
15. Hidden Star in Four Seasons - The Heaven Where Cherry Petals Dance Down
This song’s tone is really cool. It sounds amazing, yet foreboding and powerful. The beginning of the song is really good to hear and the rest of the song feels like a frantic whirlwind of emotions. It’s really amazing to just listen to.
It’s almost otherworldly as a song, thanks to the tone it has.
Despite its placement, I could really flip flop with where I rank it. You could really interchange it with number 14 and it’d still be correct. I like both this song and the song ranked at number 14 the same amount really.
14. Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom - The Space Shrine Maiden Appears
This song is really otherworldly. It’s odd and weird to hear, yet sounds really good otherwise. It’s atmospheric in a way that creates some sort of upbeat galactic setting thanks to how the song sounds, and that really fits the feel of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom to me.
I can’t really explain it well, I just think it’s a really cool song.
Again, I could flipflop with its placement, as I like both this song and the song placed in number 15 equally.
13. Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream - A Dream Transcending Space-Time
I don’t listen to this one that much (probably because the song doesn’t keep playing when the demo starts (or that I don’t really play Touhou 3 much ^ ^;)) but that doesn’t mean this one is bad. It’s more like a hidden gem!
The song is rather whimsical in a way to me, the tone of it trying to create some sort of mysterious feel to it, with it being upbeat to make it almost like a mad dash to see what the mystery could be before anyone else can. Kinda like the actual story of Touhou 3 in a way.
Originally, this was #16 but when I decided to listen to it more, I look back on it more happily, thinking of it as a hidden gem of a song in the Touhou PC-98 games, only being held back by being the only Touhou PC-98 game to not have its title screen theme continue to play even when the demo starts… which sucks more too considering that the title screen doesn’t really stay up for too long before it goes to the demo.
I just feel bad for the song really. ^ ^;
12. Mountain of Faith - Sealed Gods
This song is odd to me. It’s definitely good and fits Mountain of Faith well. It has a adventurous feel to it, but it feels that the song has a sinister undertone in it… which, again, fits the game and its plot well. My favorite part of the song is the more atmospheric part where the sounds of water rushing and drops of water hitting a body of water play out during the song.
This might be a dumb reason why it’s only number 12 but… I associate Mountain of Faith with the Fall / Autumn season and… to be honest… this song doesn’t really give me that much of an Autumn vibe? Like, it doesn’t feel like it fits a day during Autumn well.
I don’t know, maybe that’s just me. I probably just think there are songs better than it.
11. Highly Responsive of Prayers - A Sacred Lot
This song feels rather mysterious… well, really, that’s kinda it.
Well, not really, I’d say it sounds fast too. It’s surprisingly fitting with Touhou 1, as the game can really get rather fast and frantic at times. It starts off powerful and just keeps rolling with that, using a nice percussion beat to go along with it and help it stand out more. Although, I’m not sure what to think about it being the first title screen theme Touhou has ever had. On one hand, I respect it for being the first. On the other hand, I’m not sure if I’d say it fits the Touhou we have now. Well, uh, maybe it’d fit Wily Beast and Weakest Creature a little.
Oh well, still a good one! ^ ^;
(I should mention that I’m basing my thoughts on this song around the Akyuu’s Untouched Score version of it, although I do like the original version of the song about the same as the Akyuu version, if not, a little less.)
10. Story of Eastern Wonderland - Eastern Demon-Sealing Record ~ Pure Land Mandala
As someone that isn’t too big a fan of Story of Eastern Wonderland’s OST, the title screen theme fits the game’s feel perfectly. It feels like the right tone for a game like this, like the game’s trying to give an enthusiastic first try. It’s basically a rather cheerful song that tries to be dark at a certain point before getting back to being upbeat.
I think it’s a really good song, but there are others that I like better. It’s definitely a highlight of Story of Eastern Wonderland’s OST however! ^ ^;
9. Lotus Land Story - Gensokyo ~ Lotus Land Story
This song has no need to go as hard as it does. It starts out powerful, keeps that going, and then mellows out a little closer to the end. It’s aggressive for a lot of its runtime and I feel like it definitely works with Lotus Land Story’s OST, considering that a lot of the other songs in Lotus Land Story (mostly the battle themes for the bosses) are also aggressive.
There’s just one thing though? This might be a silly thought but uhh… I believe that Lotus Land Story is probably one of the easier Touhou games to get through (I’d know since I beat it on Normal before) so the song being aggressive probably doesn’t fit the actual difficulty of the game itself. Oh well.
(Should also mention that I’m basing my thoughts on the original version of this song and not the Akyuu’s Untouched Score version of the song. I’m indifferent to the lower pitch of the song in the Akyuu version, but I liked the original version’s pitch more. The lower pitch does make it sound a little more powerful though!)
8. Ten Desires - Spirit of Avarice
I don’t know how to explain this one. It’s a really cool-sounding and powerful song. Definitely has a different tone compared to the other title screen themes and it makes me really like it. It’s also just pretty catchy and chilled out and makes me want to power through anything that’s standing in my way… like the danmaku bullets!
Yeah, I really can’t explain why I like this song enough for it to be number 8. There’s not much to the song itself for me to talk about, but I just can’t help associating it with being the kind of song you’d hear in a flash game.
7. Wily Beast and Weakest Creature - Silent Beast Spirits
This was the first song I remember hearing when I first got into the later Touhou games. I haven’t committed to really playing anything from Touhou 10 to 16, so when I first tried out the trial version of Touhou 17 and heard this song pop up on the title screen… this is the song that I’d say was a breaking point for me. As in… it got me back into liking Touhou!
Considering Wily Beast and Weakest Creature is supposed to be the darkest of the mainline Touhou games so far, they really hammer it home in the title screen theme. This song is absolutely aggressive. It’s violent. It’s in your face. It has an immense amount of power to it. It doesn’t calm down too much anywhere in the song, it’s just laced with power and energy that persists throughout the entire song… and that’s why I love it so much! It really holds a special place in my heart… so the fact that it’s only number 7 is kinda surprising and really telling of the other entries here.
6. Mystic Square - Wondrous Romance ~ Mystic Square
The last of the PC-98 Touhou games and it went off with a bang. This song fits the word ‘mystical’ to a tee. It’s powerful, magical and mysterious in all of the best ways, as if you don’t know what will come up next as you take a journey through a part of Makai you’re never been through before.
I don’t have much to say when it comes to Mystic Square’s title screen theme, it’s just really dang solid in my eyes.
5. Embodiment of Scarlet Devil - A Dream More Scarlet Than Red
Yeah, okay, no, this one’s just a classic. The OST for Embodiment of Scarlet Devil can be a mixed bag for people, but this song is really good in my eyes. I really love the nature of the song, it’s calm, but gets upfront whenever it wants. It fits the game a lot really, and is also just really memorable overall. Fitting since it was the first of the Windows Touhou games.
It may also just be because I’m a fan of songs that are done in the style of Touhou 6’s songs. Shoutout to the YouTuber ꧁𝙳𝚎𝚛𝚙𝚢_𝐔𝐰𝐔2006꧂ for making me realize that! They deserve a lot more subs for their pretty hard work turning existing Touhou songs into ones that sound like they’re from Embodiment of Scarlet Devil! ^ ^;
4. Undefined Fantastic Object - A Shadow in the Blue Sky
This song hits so many right notes for me, and makes me mad that I didn’t play Touhou 12 sooner when I was younger… even though I’m not good enough at getting through Touhou 12 yet, ahaha. ^ ^;
The way the song opens up is really great, and it keeps going with such a wistful, mystical and calm, yet motivating and adventurous tone to it! It feels like an old, nostalgic folk song that was spruced up and made better! Hell, it even fits the feel of Undefined Fantastic Object itself, being an adventure towards a flying ship to find out what’s going on and why it’s there. It’s a really mystical song, and it’s great at what it does!
This song may have also elevated to number 4 because of the instruments used in it, especially one specific one used throughout the entire song. I’m not a music wizard that knows everything and knows what every instrument used is the moment I hear it used, but the specific instrument I love being used here, sounds like the stringing of an old instrument, maybe like a shamisen or a precursor to a guitar.
3. Perfect Cherry Blossom - Mystic Dream ~ Snow or Cherry Petal
This song is so calming and atmospheric to me. It’s the kind of song you’d hear during a cold winter night. It’s calm and soothing, using the right instruments to really show that off, while also having some power to it through its percussion.
It’s really fitting for a game like Perfect Cherry Blossom. It carries the feeling of Winter well while being really soothing too. It’s so great.
2. Imperishable Night - Eternal Night Vignette ~ Eastern Night
It feels like ZUN grabbed Perfect Cherry Blossom’s title screen theme, and somehow made it even more atmospheric. To me, this song sounds like it’s both an upgrade, and also a continuation of Mystic Dream ~ Snow or Cherry Petal. Yet, it really fits the game itself and the setting of the game, taking place during what seems like an eternal night.
This song is just so cool and it feels so amazing to hear after doing anything that would be tiring, and that’s a big reason why it’s so high. It’s a song that calms your nerves.
Now, this would’ve been number 1… if I hadn’t played Double Dealing Character.
1. Double Dealing Character - Mysterious Purification Rod
Let me say this. The fact that this was number 1 to me surprised me a little. Especially considering that compared to the other Touhou games, when I was younger, I played the PC-98 and early Windows Touhou games way more and very rarely ever touched Double Dealing Character. So when I gave the game another look many months ago and I took the time to hear this title screen theme… I was amazed. I was angry that I never listened to it sooner.
This song is utterly, absolutely, positively… beautiful. Beautiful is what I’d use to describe this song.
This is the most welcoming Touhou title screen theme I’ve ever heard, no contest. It is also probably one of the most welcoming title screen themes I’ve ever heard overall. I love it so much.
It’s so calming, with a soft and hopeful beat and tone to it, using many different instruments really well to create such a beautiful song. It’s like a song that’s welcoming me with open arms no matter what. It’s enough to just make you forget about your anger and struggles for even just a moment. It’s there to calm you. To sooth you. To let you relax. To greet you with open arms. It feels…
…warm. Beautifully warm. I think those two words fit the song the best. Beautifully warm, as if it’ll always be there for you.
Yeah, Perfect Cherry Blossom and Imperishable Night’s title screen themes both hold a heartfelt and nostalgic value for me since I heard them a whole lot, but this one… I don’t know what it is with this one, it just hits everything perfectly for me. It’s like a song to cheer someone up if they’re sad. Like there’s something to look forward too.
I just really think this song is absolutely perfect, and it shows, considering this one has the longest typed-out entry out of them all. Whoops. ^ ^;
