@lord-of-roses I wouldn't say that. Ten Desires is the 13th game, and I'd say the fandom started losing force after the 15th game, Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom. For reference, the 17th game, Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, just came out like a month ago.
The reason I'd say that is because as you said, the very obvious culprit behind Touhou's waning popularity is Kantai Collection, which came out around the same time as the 14th game, Double Dealing Character, the game this character is from. I'd say it took until the 15th game because LoLK was a huge hit, even by Touhou's standards, and it briefly brought a lot of the fandom back.

I've seen them described as both Chinese Vampires and Chinese Zombies. Touhou definitely seems to lean more towards zombie.

Oh, man, Chamaji. I used to read Chamaji's stuff on Danbooru, back when I read a lot of stuff there. And same on the eyes, it's super neat

Wasn't "AI Love You" also the name of the blatant "Ah! My Goddess" ripoff that Ken Akamatsu made before he did Love Hina and Negima?

Wait, hold on... that can... Umio?! Buddy!?

Owl Orb is giving me Power Rangers Turbo/Beetleborg flashbacks

I always forget Hifumi is a brunette. For some reason I keep imagining her with dark purple hair.

I think that's how she was in the anime, IIRC.

okay so I dunno about anyone else, but I was not ready for that first image of Hifumi

Same.

I was expecting a bait-and-switch after that first page. Like, "I can't handle girls like her.... because they're exactly my type!"

Mood, Guda, mood.

I'm not even past the first page yet, but I just felt compelled to comment- Horii Kisuke's art immediately struck me as looking super similar to Takemiya Jin's art, and when I checked out Horii's page, the very previous story of theirs was a collab with Takemiya. Spooky.

I never saw the appeal of calling your partner "Mommy/Daddy"... until I saw Avenger Nobu. Because, uh, wow. Mommy, indeed~
Okita sure is lucky... sigh

... Can prepubescent children get anywhere near how seemingly tall this girl is? Just wondering, is all.

Sure, in fringe cases: https://www.littlethings.com/robert-wadlow-tallest-man

Dude was 6’5″ when he was 10 years old. ϞϞ(๑⚈ ․̫ ⚈๑)∩

I had a classmate in elementary school who was taller than most of the parents (he transferred to our school in third grade, and by that time he'd already reached that insane height).
I ran into him again in high school and he was even taller. Like, we're talking Shaq levels of height, here.

There are four ways to interpret this, and I don't know which one I like best.
1: Jealous of Saaya
2: Jealous of Tae
3: Annoyed that she's being third-wheeled
4: Annoyed that they're having PDA

She's like Kaoru, but goth

Mahou Shoujo Yurina's Main Heroine... Peggle 2 guy voice 2!
Anyways MANNNNNNN I've been waiting so long for thisssssss!! The fact that we might have to wait another year for more... makes me wanna flex my own creative juices a bit.

I liked this, but now- bullying or otherwise- I really wanna see that teacher's panties.

Damn, talk about rarepairs. Which is especially amusing considering that it's currently "Bandori Rarepair Week" in certain circles.

^Most likely an attempt at shortening "all up on me"

^I was specifically talking about Shuten. Who, again, is literally based on a real life woman. You might see Shuten as looking like a child, but I don't. Different people interpret drawings differently. And besides, you'd be surprised what kind of variety of people there are in this world. There are plenty of adults who get regularly mistaken for children in real life. And, like, there is a limit to that, yes, but while I think the majority of Shuten's fanart goes well past that limit and is clearly drawing her as a child, I don't think her official art does.
And I know petite anime fans who are VERY bitter about every petite adult character getting labelled a "legal loli". Not that "legal loli" is a trope that doesn't exist, because it does, if I hadn't already made that clear, but it just gets misapplied a lot. There are people who see "petite" and think that's enough to call the character a legal loli, and they're annoyingly common.

^You make a good point, though I'm particularly uncomfortable with people calling Shuten (and drawing her as) a loli considering her body's design was literally based on Aoi Yuuki's body. It seems really disrespectful to real life petite women.

I still like the headcanon that, given the opportunity, Jotaro would have tried to set up Jolyne with FF, because as a marine biologist, he really wants to be the father-in-law of a sentient colony of plankton.

^Honestly, I've been mistaking a lot of Kasuari posts for posts of other things lately. I think I had the same reaction as you to this one, and the next one that was posted after this (the most recent one as of this writing), I initially thought was Junko and Hecatia from Touhou.
I'm not sure why I keep making these mistakes, Bandori's basically my main fandom right now.

Okay, normally this series is just funny, but chapter 30 was actually cu- er, loved.

Yet another trilling entry in: "When I'm staring at a girl, and she thinks I'm hating, but really I'm just gay".
