My hyperfixation on Yoshika Miyako has reached the point where I feel the urge to write a big fucking post about how I believe she handles relationships and other things. This is my blog and I get to be autistic about characters I like!

(For clarification’s sake I kinda ship her with Kasen but it is more complicated than “they kiss” and I will go into it later (also a lot of these are definitely within the context of the fic I wrote the other day so go peep that if anything I say is kinda confusing I guess)) (I might update this whenever I have a new one lol)

(Writing this bracket after writing half of the following list, yeah this definitely requires context of my fic after the first two points lol)

- Ok starting with important headcanons. Hella asexual, hella demiromantic, she/it

- Her love language is very much physical affection. She will cuddle and cling on to Kasen as much as she can. Although she doesn’t kiss, she prefers biting. Obviously her bite will turn others into jiangshi, but when done affectionately it’ll just loosely teeth on someone or bite clothing/hair/etc.

- It’ll trust people easy, but can’t really make any strong bonds with anyone anymore, her one with Kasen only being a thing because of its existence when she was alive.

- She doesn’t hold any ill will towards Seiga. It fails to understand the wider scope and implications of what Seiga did, but is grateful to her for granting it a second chance at life.

- Due to being under Seiga’s orders for so long, she doesn’t often act by herself still. When not accompanied by someone it’ll just sit there, staring vacantly at nothing.

- Kasen is constantly encouraging her to break that though, letting her try new experiences often and writing with it as often as she can. In fact Kasen is basically always looking after her, doing her best to make sure it takes care of itself as well.

- Kasen does occasionally attempt to use the Ibaraki Box of a Hundred Medicines to help Yoshika. If there’s ever anything particularly unwell with her, it heals her right up, but it’s incapable of reverting her back to a living human. Can’t heal what isn’t an illness. Yoshika is barely affected by the personality altering effects of the box, only becoming a little bit more bitey.

- She is prone to dozing off easily if under-stimulated. This has seriously scared Kasen multiple times.

Here is part 2! And Koishi acting like a crackhead

*8 hours later*

*Satori looks at her entangled cords*

Satori: Are you serious (10)

Koishi: Well lucky me! My cords aren't like that! (11)

Koishi: But maybe that is also because I don't sleep.. (12)

Satori: So you are saying that you went to bed, in your dirty day clothes and stayed there for god knows how many hours? (13)

Koishi: Yeah! And you slept for 8 hours actually.. (13)

Satori: If you can't sleep, why did you even come to the bed if you are aren't capable of sleeping? (14)

Koishi: I was bored (14)

Koishi: And I didn't leave you by yourself! (15)

*Satori is processing everything*

cool unsorted touhou hcs but theyre almost all pc98 since they’re more flexible and fun to think of scenarios for

uhhh long? yea. long.

everyone in pc98 is okay and alive (mostly) :]

ellen and koishi are good friends, kind of. they’ll run into each other, befriend one another, play all day, go their separate ways, and then forget about each other. this has happened many times.

sokrates is a bakeneko at this point, and the only thing keeping ellen from getting into too much trouble. although, he has no human form.

rika is from the outside world. someone (mima) told her that yukari was the god of the hakurei shrine, and beating reimu/obtaining her power will let rika go home. she also gave rika a spell book, in order to summon the bakebake. rika also made evil eye sigma using it.

consequentially, rikako was introduced to ‘modern’ science through rika briefly trying to integrate in the human village.

mimi-chan eventually stopped working, so rinnosuke tore the thruster out, and him + mima worked on making it into the mini-hakkero; so marisa can still have mimi-chan, and a better wand.

marisa’s natural hair color is a red-orange. she changed it to yellow using magic, (with help from mima) and it’s always been curly and messy

reimu, on the other hand, will not explain how or why her hair was purple for a while. trying to make her budge will not end well for you. (she used the yin-yang balls and thought purple would look amazing on her thanks to meira)

when flandre is annoyed with you, she will start yelling in french. this is terrifying to non-french-speaking fairies.

marisa named her pet tsuchinoko loaf, and they will still stop by her house to get fed, pet, and sleep.

alice is from bucuresti, but managed to get into makai alice in wonderland style. alice didn’t have a (good?) family to go back to, so shinki saw this small child and went “who’s child is this? nobody’s? yoink this is mine now”

elly has a southern accent. a really thick southern accent. how? i said so. thats it thats my take

rinnosuke is half wolf tengu. he hides a small tail, and has small fangs/pointed ears that he hides.

i’m taking yumeko’s theme, ‘doll of misery,’ way too literally. yumeko is literally a giant doll. think mannequin but with doll joints, or a big medicine. shinki made her as an assistant, and alice (who already liked puppets and all that) was awed by her. basically, the reason alice wants to create an independent doll so badly is because she saw ‘mom’s’ cool independent doll, she’d reach new heights with her knowledge, and also she’d have a good friend probably. (that’s where the ‘i saw a living doll a long time ago’ in BAiJR comes from)

because eiki and narumi are jizo statues, they are both unnaturally heavy, because stone. they cannot walk on thin bridges or ride on boats because they will fall. swimming is impossible, they just walk on the ground. if they get an arm cut off or something, then someone can just carve a new one, (or just use the old one) they can reattach it to where the ‘injury’ is, and it will fuse back on. also mario bros 3 tanuki statue shenanigans.

while in france, remilia would keep her mansion out to those who’d need to spend the night. mostly for her fellow supernatural beings, but also to homeless or lost humans who managed to find the mansion. in return, the guest would either need to help clean or cook, or give some of their blood up. refusing to do so would not end well.

sakuya was indeed, a vampire hunter at some point. while she was trying to kill remilia, when her time powers started working randomly, mid-fight, and she vanished. remilia was confused, and eventually calmed back down. 100 years later, remilia ran into someone who looked just like the hunter, but she was an amnesiac and had gray hair. remi decided to let her stay at the SDM out of curiosity, but she grew on remi. remi named her sakuya, since they were already planning on moving to japan at some point.

so basically: you know those urban legends about time travelers randomly vanishing in the street, only to appear years later? that’s sakuya.

clownpiece was born in a part of hell mainly for americans, so she has the most Generic American Accent possible. once in a while she will just start yelling in pure english, and has absolutely taught every fairy in gensokyo how to say fuck. color vs colour is an argument you do not want to have with her

the second ruukoto ran out of power, reimu hid her. when reimu built her shed, she hid ruukoto inside. the fairies of light eventually find her inside and dig her out, leaving reimu to try and explain to kasen why she has a ‘corpse’ in her shed.

cool and brief analysis of some LLS characters’ themes edited from a discord message, starting with kurumi bc shes my baby

kurumi’s theme is very upbeat, with a very short melody. so she’s naive and cheerful, while also being pretty prideful in herself. (judging on her dialogue) she does her best to keep people she considers her friends safe and happy.

elly’s theme is slow and more cautious, while also giving me the vibe that she’s powerful but holding back. (due to being rusty?) so she’s a bit scatter-brained (dialogue), but also weary and careful. and for whatever reason, SP~PC just makes me think of the word ‘hardy,’ so she’s that too

orange’s theme is short and cool-sounding, to get your blood pumping for her fight. even though she’s trying to run away from danger, so the song has a panic-y and dangerous feel too because she is scared of reimu/marisa. so she’s VERY prideful and does her best to make herself look strong, but is extremely cowardly, unless she’s cornered.

flower youkai are a real thing now, and yuuka, elly, and orange are all examples of this.

to make up for the fact that it’s placement no longer makes sense: mugenkan, the lake of blood, kurumi, and orange are all in the same space inside the hakurei barrier-- like mayohiga. not just ‘in the mountains.’ the way to get to it is in the mountains, yes, but it’s just not sitting up there casually. people would’ve noticed a lake of blood by now. (also! remilia and flan are noted as ‘the only vampires in gensokyo.’ someone would’ve seen kurumi by now as well.)

the reason why yuuka has a blue border surrounding her sprite in MS is also due to this. her body isn’t used to existing ‘physically’ like ‘that.’ it’s her energy keeping itself into a sensible form.

alice traveled to gensokyo in mystic square to avenge her and shinki’s defeat. mima is the one who found her and beat her, forcing alice to be her servant, until alice managed to run off. (probably with marisa’s help, i don’t see marisa as the type of person to let mima keep alice as a servant. close mom relationship or not.) alice couldn’t get back to makai, so she was forced to settle into gensokyo.

part of alice’s reclusiveness is thanks to being beaten up five times within a week, and then being forced into being a maid. thanks mima very cool

i say mima since there’s a hidden recording of ZUN beating MS’s extra stage as mima, last i recall.

yuuka’s interest in magic was quickly killed thanks to marisa.

after being defeated four times over, shinki’s power collapsed in on itself, and she was forced to pull herself, pandæmonium, and all her creations into a small orb of energy that sits where pandæmonium once was. every demon or magician that was in gensokyo at the time erupted into flames as their souls got pulled back into makai. this incident almost killing shinki and countless others is what helped convince reimu/yukari to set up the spell card rules.

byakuren, sariel, yuugenmagan, and elis are safe. sariel and yuugenmagan are fallen angels, therefore not created by shinki. elis is just a demon that drifted into makai, so she’s good too. we all know where byakuren came from and how she is.

pulling from the slow piano section of judas kiss’s midi version; mai didn’t like yuki at all, and is fine with her being gone, but she’s been with yuki so long that living without her seems impossible. like it’s just left a hole within her, that she won’t expose because she just hates yuki to that degree.

also using magic mirror for elis; elis is like a reverse-vampire when it comes to mirrors. she exists as an energy more than anything, and will use mirrors to communicate with people in places she can’t go. she ‘works’ for sariel, being the demon version of a telemarketer for the angel of death basically. that works exactly how it sounds like it works. elis is also in makai because she escaped hell. makai has a constant pump of magic through shinki, so elis can exist comfortably here.

the reason the management of hell has such a small budget is because hecatia keeps pulling the funding for things she considers important, but actually aren’t. the yama (and other gods of hell) literally cannot stop her. hecatia says it’s to support ‘disorder and chaos’ because ‘authority sucks’ without realizing she’s being the crappy authority figure.

not only is hecatia basically 3 different celestial-level gods, but they’re MASSIVE. bigger than kaiju-size. her human body is basically a vessel for her to travel in, anchored down by her collar and planets. the planets let her ‘switch’ between which ‘god’ is going to ‘pilot,’ even though all three are still hecatia.

since SoPM says kogasa can’t let go of her umbrella; if she does, her human form will disappear in a puff of smoke, and she’ll have to hop around as an umbrella for like, two hours. benben follows somewhat similar rules, but she’s still ‘holding’ her biwa since it’s chained to her. she’s offered, but kogasa says no to chains.

kogasa smiths with her umbrella in her mouth or something.

IKU NAGAE IS RENKO USAMI AND IN THIS ESSAY I WILL

extremely similar appearances!!!! there’s the changes in colors, but that could just be youkai-ification (like how possessed kosuzu had pink hair instead of orange)

iku’s power, reading the atmosphere, can be seen as an ‘evolution’ of renko’s, like maribel and yukari. she goes from being a living gps to a living weather channel host. godspeed for her

conspiracy theorist useless lesbian = funny tired fish lady. it makes perfect sense i swear!!

I've mentioned a few times by now that my interpretation of Yukari Yakumo is that she's secretly still a human being, so I guess I could probably stand to actually explain it.

So, this is what the Perfect Memento says about Yukari. The actual canonicity of PMiSS is in flux, I think, it was written in a much earlier era of Touhou when ZUN seems to have had a somewhat different vision of things and not all of it has remained consistent even accounting for that it's deliberately inaccurate, but we'll ignore that for now. Making strong assertions about something as clay-like as canon in Touhou is a losing game, in any case.

Akyuu's claims seem to check out. We can, actually, independently verify that Yukari does not collect fear from Gensokyo - most characters seem to be only vaguely aware of her at best (and the more they know her, generally, the less they respect her) and in Forbidden Scrollery we see that the human villagers are so unaware of her that showing up to a ghost story circle and telling a story about very specific identifying features like her gaps only provokes confusion.

On the other hand we haven't been shown any of her activities in the outside world. We cannot verify that she collects fear there. More importantly, Akyuu can't verify that.

A youkai that never attacks humans is by definition not a youkai. The youkai Yukari does not attack humans in Gensokyo. Therefore Yukari is attacking humans somewhere else.

That's the logic here. Akyuu is faced with two facts that don't fit together, so she invents something that resolves them. But she doesn't know anything. This may not be true, and if it is, it's of no relation to Akyuu's claims.

We could formulate this problem differently, if we were inclined to.

A youkai that never attacks humans is by definition not a youkai. Yukari, who claims to be a youkai, does not attack humans. Therefore Yukari is not a youkai.

That she's human specifically is a particular leap of mine because I like the idea. I like what it says about Yukari as a character and about her particular situation. And we know from Sakuya that humans can be immortal without ceasing to be human. But looked at with as close to dispassion as I can manage, the evidence is probably weighted more in the direction of her being the Hakurei God. Depending on how you interpret certain dialogue in Missing Power, she comes within an inch of outright saying it, even.

There's also that Yukari and Reimu have long been shown to have different expressions of the same essential powers over borders, boundaries, and other distinctions. This would tend to support the idea that Yukari is the Hakurei God, but I like to fit it into the "Yukari is human" hypothesis by just saying that she's the shrine maiden of the Outside World's Hakurei Shrine. After all, we know it exists, and based on what Rinnosuke saw of it - assuming Yukari's telling him the straightforward truth about what he saw - clearly someone's taking care of it.

Regardless, by presenting one interpretation, Perfect Memento also provides the evidence and uncertainties that make up that interpetation. In doing so, it opens up entirely contradictory interpretations. The wonderful thing about the arts is that the same material can be taken so many different directions. We are obliged to admit that [1 + 1 = 2], but nothing compels us to submit to [youkai ^ !fear -> elsewhere] when [youkai ^ !fear] could mean any number of other things.

#touhou #touhou project #yukari yakumo #yakumo yukari #maribel hearn #and speaking of reimu and yukari sharing powers... nemuno also has those powers #which I have headcanons about but I'd rather express those in art and narrative than in rambling so #in general I think I'm going to try expressing my headcanons in that way more often #a queue in the dark beguiles me #headcanon

okay listen I don't just ship kyouko x momiji for entirely self-indulgent reasons. there's actually a really interesting story that can happen there.

a dumb chuuni puppydog girl trying to impress the badass sword lesbian, and the badass sword lesbian feeling the need to protect this helpless mutt before she hurts herself. the this evolves into momiji for the first time getting a kind of unconditional love and adoration that she'd never known before from her toxic tengu polycule, and kyouko getting knot from a wolf who calls her "kiddo"

okay you know what on second inspection maybe this is entirely self indulgent

headcanon option I'm loving: Sumireko graduated high school in 2019; however, her Gensokyo-doppelganger-self is still physically "eighteen years old" -- the age she was a day before graduation, to be precise -- and whenever she appears in Gensokyo, she still does so in one of her school uniforms. This is because "high school girl" is the type of youkai she is. specifically: for the next solid decade, pretty much nobody catches on that something is amiss, least of all Sumireko herself, who has to have it pointed out to her.

Meiling general & domestic hcs

General

This I think is already canon, but in reality, unlike how the fandom interprets it, Sakuya and Meiling actually get along very well. And yes, there is a relationship as companions between them. Although it's obvious that Saku gets frustrated sometimes because China doesn't do her job well, she also doesn't throw knives at her as if she were an enemy

Deep down, Meiling actually takes her job seriously, however ""sometimes"" her performance drops, but she will always be willing to fight any intruder who tries to enter the mansion

Sakuya frequently prepares a tea for her mistress, with exotic plants that she finds in Gensokyou, however, she must make sure that this tea does not cause any side effects, and who is the lab rat in this case? The poor Meiling. Most of the time the tea doesn't cause anything, but in some cases it does have a consequence, and well... she...

I don't think she reads often, but if there's a book in Chinese in the SD library just in case, even if it's just one, she'll always read that one, even if she's already done it about 100 times or knows about a stupid topic

If Flandre is ever released from the grounds, Meiling will play with her, even if Flan acts like a little imp (literally)

She constantly trains her qi, sometimes during her work (I would say too much, and then she wonders why Sakuya scolds her)

Domestic

Having a partner is something that this girl had never thought of, she didn't even expect someone to be interested in her

At the beginning of the relationship, she did not want their relationship to be public; if Sakuya or Remilia found out, there would be a great possibility that she would get into serious trouble, if Flandre found out, the first thing she would do would be to tell Remila , and if Patchy found out... I don't think she would even care, but she might as well would say someting about it in front of Sakuya

Luckily, none of that happened

This woman loves to give her S/O compliments and nicknames, compliments like "hottie" or "handsome"

She is not usually aggressive towards humans, so if her S/O is one, there won't be many problems (I say "there won't be many" instead of "there won't be" because, well... two human blood suckers literally live in the mansion)

Very patriotic, even though she tells you that she loves Gensokyo, she always tells you that you look better in a Zhongshan suit than in a kimono

Despite being very friendly, she has a very perverted side, which she brings out when all the servants have already gone to sleep
