Btw I'm no longer using this app, sorry to everyone who's been sending me messages and @'s, I'd rather not be on here anymore.

Find me on ɓIūeśkƴ and tųmɓIṛ at @roaringwish

Very spot on and even they're not just evil for the sake of being evil

Beasts are products of their environment, Seija's life is pointless and this is how she chooses to make it have some sort of point, and Seija can't help but be contrarian to everything

I love Touhou so much

[moonkitty @marshiemewo]

@pomekka_ Being totally honest, the only flat-out evil characters in modern continuity I can think of are like... the Beast Clan leaders, Zanmu, Junko, and like... maybe Seija and Seiga??? But they're not really spreading harm, just weirdly curious losers.

@beruwk0 So gorgeous!!!! Those colors are so vibrant!!!

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

@Just9Art Oh I just know I will enjoy reading it. Get their asses!

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

Half the people in the comments and quotes are saying that she's being done dirty and the other half are actively doing her dirty in this thread it's insane 😭

[Daily Touhou @dailytouhous]

The Touhou of the day is: Okina Matara!

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

@speargsun Genuinely LoSDM character assasinated her so bad like 😭😭😭 Don't get me wrong like everyone was character assasinated in it, but she got the shortest end of the stick and it sucks so bad.

Manga artists will get popular and use their powers for evil I guess.

Read: ZUN sees and values women as people as opposed to solely being attracted to them.

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

That's because as opposed to most authors of all-female casts, ZUN likes women, doesn't just love them.

[Flower garden of the Gays! 98🌈🌈 @Numbername88]

I'm so glad Zun is a normal guy, he just likes drawing women, not his dream waifus, and Touhou is not his waifu wish-fulfilled fantasy land. It's just a universe for him to tell funny stories in.

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

@_primariobruh Ooogh I'd love to see more of it though!! It's so pretty!!

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

I'm not joking btw every time I mentioned touhou irl people assumed I'm into l0li shit 😭 I can't infodump about my favorite thing bc people will think I use 4-chan 18 hours a day it's dire out there.

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

This is true AND it has layers to it.
The amount of stuff is overwhelming AND the premise and ZUN's art style is a hard sell AND people expect the usual tropes that come with Japanese media (none in touhou) AND if you mention that you like touhou they'll assume that you're a p3do

[radim @radim_chicha]

"gigantic franchise that's impossible to recommend"
that's just touhou

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

@NeverJestin Oooogh I love this so much!!!!

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

@raymoo_hackery Their efforts to silence you is futile. Never stop spitting facts queen

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

People keep finding and reblogging my Osamu Sato inspired Matarajin pirce on tumblr so here it is again!

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

And this upsets me bc touhou since then has grown so special and genuinely deep and explores really interesting themes, but it keeps getting buried under 20 years worth of U.N. Owen Was Her remixes, 5 cargo ships of Cirno fumos and 300.000 SDM doujins. (10/10)

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

I don't think anything that ZUN makes is bad per se but EoSD has a lot of baggage on top of not being interesting or good technically and narratively, which is why I don't like it very much. (1/10)

[beimu fakurei @pussbeast]

Every time someone says eosd is bad they just say it without giving any reasons or they give some blanket term like “it’s jank” I’d like to know why people actually dislike this game

[Dragons and Stars ✦ @roaringwish]

In conclusion, EoSD is popular because it's straightforward and it and its fanworks appeal to general anime fan audiences.

Touhou, which found its identity after EoSD, does not (which is what makes it special), but fans wish it did and pretend that it does (9/10)
