Touhou Discussion Thread 3 ⌈Eternal Fantasy Edition⌋

[Lilixa]

I think I've seen it before, yeah. I don't usually listen to a lot of IOSYS though, but this song is pretty good.

It's also not all that disturbing by Touhou fanon standards, trust me.

yes, that is true, i think it's still disturbing relative to normies ?

 

[Lilixa]

Oh huh

Didn't know there was a channel with a bunch of old MMD translations. Interesting.

you should watch it, the story is amazing imo. especially this stuff

 

[Oblivion_Of_The_Endless]

Is there a touhou discord server you guys discuss stuff in? Have been getting into the verse and I think it'd be nice to join

Yeah, I'll ask if you can join rq. Always glad to have more people getting into the verse.

Touhou 18.5 has already sold out at Comiket, streams are going live now. Most information I've seen is related to game mechanics and the like but I'll start uploading VS relevant stuff when it comes up.

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

But, in even more important Comiket news...

NEW AKATSUKI RECORDS ALBUM BABEYYYYY

 

[Shmooply]

Thank you ZUN for giving us more of Takane, I will make sure to leave more beer bottles at the makeshift shinto shrine I made for you.

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

Insane how this game made Marisa into a hax god so fast. We haven't even seen all the ability cards, either.

 

[Shmooply]

It took twenty-five years, but Marisachads are finally winning.

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

18.5 IS OUT GO BUY IT

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Marisachad goes all the way to take every girls to be the part of her harem

 

[OverlordDonnelly]

Marisa made a bunch of characters' powers her own and finally became haxxy as hell.

She has, in fact, stolen their precious things.

And now she has even more busted power mimicry with prep time :v

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

Oh right, it was recently accepted that profiles can use bolding without bullet points, should we apply this to Touhou profiles?

 

[Shmooply]

Absolutely.

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

Finally getting around to working on the speed blog..... If I can finish it by tomorrow I can probably post a CRT for it, if not, it'll probably be a few days later :v

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

This covers everything, right?

yeah no ******* way im finishing this by tomorrow

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

18.5 CRT is out, 9 days to cover content from a newly released game ain't bad.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Hey, any of you guys know which Liz Triangle song that have this lyric: "don't you love me, don't you hate me"?
I listened to it so much in the past but nowadays i kinda forgot and when i wanted to listening it again, i can't remember lel

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

Not sure, honestly. Not super familiar with Liz Triangle unfortunately :/

yikes I'm not certain. I think a song I've had to track down for Liz Triange in the past was like a Marisa vocal track that almost disappeared off of YT from channel takedowns.

If I had to assume, based on those lyrics, its probably a song for one of the Komeijis.

Yeah, it's either Koishi (most likely Koishi) or Satori

 

[Shmooply]

It's that day.

VOTE FOR MOKOU OR I'LL BREAK YOUR LEGS

also zun amogus 2 i guess

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

In other news, I may need help deciding on what exactly these scans are supposed to mean. Both are from the same SoPM, and one states Suwako has a spirit, while the other says she does not.

 

[Shmooply]

It's either an outlier, or maybe what the text is trying to say is her original form doesn't have a spirit (or is a spirit)?

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

It's... kinda weird to say it's an outlier, since the two statements are literally separated by 2 paragraphs. It'd be a pretty glaring error. Idk about the first statement referring to her original form, since Akyuu says it's made of faith, but the original form of the gods is one devoid of faith. Plus, we know gods in their original form can possess spirits, since Junko is literally a divine spirit.

My current guess is that the second passage is about her divine spirit, while the first one is about... a different kind of soul. I've been looking into the possibility of soul dualism existing in Touhou for a bit, so this might be an example? ZUN does love writing real world theological concepts into Touhou, after all (that's literally where divine spirits infinitely splitting themselves comes from).

Bruh they even bring Lily-an and Shinra Banshou crew (no Ayo tho) as well, shit going wild
Sad that Stack isn't invited lel

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

I may have found a new way to scale the cast to 2-B.... According to Gensokyo Geography, there are as many heavens as there are gods, so Tenshi's 2-C feat of shaking "many" realms was actually shaking at least 8 million. Combined with Doremy's control over the Dream World and all its dreams, and infinite dream recursion, there is a very real possibility of high tiers scaling to every tier in tier 2.

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

Also Flandre won the popularity poll!! Not surprising considering her role in 17.5.

 

[Shmooply]

I forgot to vote...
Next time, I'll make Aunn win.

 

[Kirbonic_Pikmin]

I didn't expect Yooms to drop to 4th after being 1st last year tho, kinda surprising.

My girl Marisa hanging in at #2, the best to ever do it

Absurdly based.

Reimu being outclassed by Marisa in the poll

MEGA WHEEZE

 

[Shmooply]

I do not like the fact that Junko still has an avatar key, so I will now proceed to make a rushed CRT about it.

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

Good. About time.

i was gonna cover that in the god crt but honestly ive pushed that back so far that i think it's fine to rush shit now

 

[Shmooply]

I can already imagine what the arguments would be after I post it.
"But, if primordials lack names, then why does Junko have one??"

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

God I hope nobody tries to pull that shit. Nameless things can still be referred to, just like how izanagi objects are nameless but are "named" izanagi objects.

In any case, there are enough scans supporting Junko's nameless nature that I don't think it'll be an issue.

 

[Shmooply]

It's ready.

me go play bideo games now
