This is a fundraiser that could use some boosting because they are not even at 1k yet. The crowdfunding is for 2 brothers (one 20, the other is only 14). They lost their parents and are now trying to survive in Rafah.

What Touhou has that practically no other franchise can match, besides the torrential amounts of fan love throughout nearly three decades, is that fanworks operating on loose but existent frameworks of the characters is how you explore characters first and foremost.
With Arknights, if you tell me you ship, say, Muelsyse and Ho’olheyak because of that one comment about Mumu knowing where to catch her napping, I’ll respectfully nod and then think “ok then Mumu and Doctor makes 500 times more sense given all their cutscenes together and voicelines”, if you tell me you ship Arturia and Viviana because of the trailer and or event, I’m already on the hills collecting beautiful wildberries not even acknowledging this but I support you politely nonetheless sure whatever.
With Touhou, if you tell me Reimu would bone a Zulu African version of Nue, brother, I’m funding your project myself. You tell me Cirno and Toyosatomimi no Miko is your crackship, I want to see where the FUCK you are going with that, but I want to see it, I can already throw some lines about immortality conditions being a linking factor plus the goofier parts of their personality, good execution will sell it to me. You tell me Keine and Eirin doing that nasty in the backshed, I’m already waiting for the sequel with Reisen and Youmu.
Like. It’s different. And depending on the author, proven.
