Redesigns!!!!!

I feel like popular Touhou fanon is split between the Old Bad and the New Bad.

The Old Bad: flanderizing everyone to be lolrandom silly with character traits they don't even have, ignoring PC98 aside from Mima and maybe Shinki if you're lucky, ignoring the print works and post-MoF stuff almost entirely to uphold the first handful of Windows games only, upholding Gensokyo as a paradise and taking the games' chill vibes at face value without wanting to look deeper, yuri as a purely obligatory function of a percieved lack of guys with no real love, kind of a weird blend of performative worship for and actual dismissal of ZUN's vision, in general a gross sheen of 4channer detatched irony to play off any sincere positivity.

The New Bad: flanderizing everyone to be edgy and toxic with character traits they don't even have, ignoring PC98 completely, largely downplaying the games to uphold the print works only, upholding Gensokyo as a grimdark horrorfest stuffed full of cannibalism and refusing to accept any validity to the games' chill vibes, lots of Hashtag Toxic Yuri full of mind control and manipulation with no real love, kind of a weird blend of performative respect for and actual approppriation of ZUN's vision, in general a gross sheen of condescension and rigidity and rejection of fun or "what if"s that aren't needlessly edgy... and still an undercurrent of detatched irony as well somehow.

I get the impression that the second is probably a response to the first, but it strikes me as just as misaimed. Maybe I just haven't been into Touhou enough the past few years to get a feel for where it's currently at or something, but what I remember from when it was my hyperfixation, from taking in every piece of media, game or print, that was available (and translated) at the time, that there's some middle balance between tonal extremes that ZUN is actually shooting for, but neither of the main Fanon interpretations wants to aknowledge for some reason. Everyone forgets that most of the time Reimu is whimsical.

been talking about wish rewrite the stars symbolism/writing stuff with friends on discord a lot lately so I thought I’d post some highlights from these various convos from over the course of the month lol

Okay so I actually did finish this on Friday but I wanna post it when I feel ready to log back onto Instagram so you guys are only getting a sneak peak

thinking of RB before bob (Reflections in Last Fracture, Speaks of Mirrors. his administrator) messed him up..... he was so hopeful and stoic and ready to find the cure for rot no matter what... look at him now miserable grandpa.

old old old old doodles from when i was watching part 4 that i rediscovered

Chick and Lightning would insult each other after a race and then go do crack off the same baby changing table in the public bathrooms

i love the hcs of nowen mk dads, lyler wayne parents, bridgeoff emma parents & evizzy scary girl moms but the question is do i include those in my all stars fic... hmmmm.......

Can you explain how you don’t allow AI but also post untagged ai art? At least tag it please

I’m not going to tag it because AI isn’t art, and I’m saying I don’t approve of AI making art, it steals from creators and I also don’t want to be associated with using AI for my art.

The post was purely making fun of the fact that Ai made a mewing Keith and that it looks so bad.

Bullying AI art is fully accepted here, just not claiming that AI art is important or worthy of any praise.

And again, it’s not that important to tag things, I mean it’s my blog, I can do whatever I want
