#but in the end shes gotta get serious when the real rules of gensokyo are broken

[laplaces-lovecraftian-dick]

you know the fact that reimu Dissociates ™ instead of like, desperately attacking the sages (which would be futile and frankly not very reimucore) or trying to go against gensokyo is central to her and something I quite enjoy

cause she still wants to live and she loves the people she loves in gensokyo, y'know. like clearly she cares about gensokyo (as seen in ulil) and to ensure gensokyo is to keep its balance (AKA the very principle on which it functions re: humans becoming youkai)

like sure it would be Great if there were peace but you must do something (in her case not only by conviction but by duty) so that your friends don't get Maimed or worse

(you know, like dying to utsuho / the lunar capital / the beast families / a high school girl)

#have you forgotten swr #more importantly i think this ties into the whole zanmu sympathy thing #also theres a fundamental difference #like. she did very much get the spellcard rules in action so shes not just going ham #but in the end shes gotta get serious when the real rules of gensokyo are broken #i.e. fortune teller and sumireko #(though there are loopholes but thats a whole different issue) #like yukari making it so kosuzu would be fine. or kasen during the sumireko arc #anyway reimu is finding the light amidst her tragedy and we love that for her #reverie lovejoy
