How much has the fandom warped your vision of your favorite touhou? Hina and Suwako have always been some of my favorite characters, yet I realized that canon doesn't tell much about them. What are their personality? What were they doing before we got to know them, or before the creation of Gensokyo? How old are they? What's their daily routine? What do they like? Hate? Some of these questions are answered to some degree in canon, for example we know that Suwako was the ruler of a small country which was invaded by Kanako, but a lot of basic information about the characters is missing, some touhous getting better treatment than others.
Years of lurking /jp/ forged into my mind the idea of a true Touhou fan being some kind of pure primary, striving to only consume official materials, never looking at anything fanmade. But is it alright, in a series where the fandom is so creative and productive to completely ignore it? I have played the games to death, and read every official printed works, but have also read hundreds and hundreds of non-erotic doujin manga, saw tens of thousands of fanmade pictures, and watched loads of Touhou-related videos. I love both the canon and fandom aspect of the series, and I think I'm far from alone on this.
That's why when I think of a character, I take what we know from canon as the baseline, and add various elements from fanworks that I liked. For example, I like the idea of Suwako lazing around all day, taking strolls, doting on Sanae, and occasionally being melancholic. Is it wrong to do this? Should one strive for an image of character that is purely derived from canon elements, making it certain that it truly fits her, but with the risk of her being stale and uninteresting?

You can find as much as you would from a human perspective about your favourite 2hus from Akyuu's books. Beyond that it doesn't even matter because you'd never get to know them more intimately than that.
>>15836932
I think that one can immerse himself in fanworks as much as he likes, as it would be a shame to ignore all of the high quality content it was produced, but always keep well in mind what is canon and what is not
Take a wild fucking guess.
Would you still love your sister if she was stupei?

Iruka: The PC version of ULiL is complete by itself, the story ends there. There are no plans to add more stories to that.
I mean, it sucks, but I didn't really expect them to do otherwise.
So the story will be different, and it might not necessarily still be ULiL
>Chronologically speaking, it's after LoLK. It's not the normal story, more like a completely different story.
>There's a chance that you won't understand it without playing LoLK. It'd be like things are finally starting to fall into place, but.
My favorite part was the bit where ZUN talks about setting up Hopeless Masquerade's religious war between Miko and Byakuren with Symposium on Post-mysticism.
>It's interesting. So rather than the users of the moment, I think of the users in the future. After doing all this, the fruits of my labour turned out to be Koishi getting popular.
A cat is fine too
>>15832019
Shouldn't that be Chen? I dunno if this VR is that R-ish yet if it can't even get that right...
That cat doesn't look happy at all.

Ran looks very happy, though!

はるまで、くるる is in my opinion the best VN ever written.
>>15831741
is it new Mareni game?
>>15831754
nah, hello world is real best kamigemu of all time
Yukari is forever 17
Reimu is a human
it has been over 2 decades since she made her debut as shrine maiden
Reimu is now more adult in appearance than yukari
when do you think the majority of the fan artist will take that into account?
bump
Never, because fans often depict Yukari as an old bitch, and Reimu as a teenager/young adult.
Fuminori did nothing wrong
>>15831207
You're kinda right. He got really horny though lol.
>>15831207
You're wrong, he didn't kill his old friends fast enough.
