Starting with this :

Yukari is Hakurei Goddess

Proof number 1: when Reimu has to pair with someone, Yukari is always here, like if she wants to be with her Priestess
Proof number 2: Reimu abilities and job involves borders, which is Yukari's field of power.
Proof number 3: Yukari spends a lot of her time at the Shrine, even calling it "the beautiful Hakurei Shrine" in PCB extra
Proof number 4: Yukari has a Yin-yang Orb on her clothes, which is the symbol of Hakurei clan.
Proof number 5: Yukari is depicted as being lazy, and she has an inferior status to a god, which can be symptoms of her lack of Faith and Reimu inexperience as a Shrine Maiden.

Even if Mokou and Kaguya are not getting along well now they'll eventually have to at least stop being enemies since they will live until the world ends.

Wasn't it pretty much implied that, while not exactly friendly, they care about each other more than they would admit?

I used to think Flan lost her original wings and replaced them with Christmas tree lights, but now recently I'm realizing that's fucking stupid because vampires regenerate damage done to their bodies and even then vampires with wings in humanoid form itself is absurd so it's best just not to think about Remi or Flan's wings.

I like the "Gensokyo is the name of a mental hospital" theory.
Sauce: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WMG/Touhou
Ctrl+F: mental hospital

>>16511638
I don't. Theories that are about the characters actually being dead, or a ripoff of St. Elsewhere's ending are pretty lazy. I skimmed through that one and it has absolutely no basis on the games, it's like if I said Gensokyo appeared from a dimensional rift caused by the Hiroshima bombs. Sounds interesting, but it makes no fucking sense if you care at all about the game's story.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Touhou, imagen...

>>16511638
That's pretty much the most common (and lowest) theory of any series though. Not trying to demean you or anything, but why the hell does that catches your attention of all things?

Everyone in Gensokyo wants to fuck Alice except Marisa.

Seija is actually a boy

>>16510603
Well, presumably the only thing that could permanently mess up regenerators like that would be Flan's power, which actually makes a lot of sense.

Perhaps they are flight crystals made by Patchouli or something to restore functionality, and Flan chose the colors.

Not theory but how do you think that ZUN deal with Hourai. Or do you think he really let them live for eternity.

Theory 1: Flandre is a Malkavian vampire, that's why she is crazy. Reasons why she lives in the basement area/is a shut-in, creeping the shit out of Remilia with her no sense bullshittery.
Theory 2: Flandre has undiagnosed aspergers.

>>16512325
Yup, after the destruction of earth they are just gonna float in space suffocating over and over.
And then universe resets.

>>16512325
What do you mean "how"? Time-wise, Touhou won't have an "end". So the Hourai will continue on living together with the others.

>>16512347
I remember reading a doujin like that.

Mokou is surprisingly cute in a twintail.

I love Alison

>>16511945
But there's nothing saying her destruction is permanent when it comes to regeneration. And of course she has normal wings in bat form, the only explanation is that she "customized" her wings that way since vampires can shapeshit.

>>16512395
I'm amazed that he went from lol weed to what probably is the greatest Touhou doujin.

It's pretty far from greatest, but interactions between characters were at least God tier.

Seiga's spent her life in the outside world and not the mausoleum. Hence why she and Yoshika dress comparatively modern compared to Futo and Tojiko, she knows about Santa, and it explains how Yoshika was awake and about for a long time prior to Ten Desires, among other things.

>>16519895
>Seiga's spent her life in the outside world and not the mausoleum
that's canon though, she never really followed miko

>>16519963
It makes sense to me, but all the stuff I've read is ambiguous as to what exactly happened.

Here's a good theory: I bought the pope a copy of Subterranean Animism

>>16519895
That doesn't explore why Miko's outfit is so modern, while she was supposed to be locked in Senkai

>>16529473
She probably get it from Seiga or something. By this logic we should ask how Hina get her gothic lolita outfit etc etc.

>>16529874
Well, Hina and others probably follow the Gensokyo fashion, which is Gothic lolita, except for some with uniforms (Reimu, Reisen, Nitori, Minamitsu...), or the ufo Buddhists.

>>16521140
At least you got him a good game. Better than that assclown to apparently got him underfail.

>>16530261
I still don't know why the fuck did he gave the pope undertale. From all the games he chose the worst one.

>>16521140
Touhou San Andreas cannot fail

>>16530283
Because he's that pretentious and smug.

I have a theory that all Touhous are farts.

>>16512395
I am surprised Alison can make it feel so light despite the extreme Grimness of that situation.

>>16512604
>doujin
I checked out because I thought it's porn.
It turned out to be good comics, so it's alright.

I wonder how old are the Touhou humans now. Reimu and Marisa must be ~30 now. Sakuya maybe 50 or 60...

Theyre all boys

>>16510603
I always thought they were purified power that turned into crystals over time.

>>16530292
and recently got gangbanged by the swords community

>Theory 2: Flandre has undiagnosed aspergers.
I considered this and I think it fits, what little we know of Flan in the canon materials shows she displays classic traits of someone with actual autism.

Not as in the buzzword meme the idiots around here like to throw around at anyone they dislike but actual clinical autism.

>>16529473
Impression I get is that Miko is just naturally stylish and has a good sense of aesthetics, most of how she acts in general implies she is a bit of a fashion whore.

Gensokyo is an overall evil in the world.

The Yama explains that Gensokyo revolves around the three lights, the four seasons, and the five elements, something that the Gensokyo's years rely on, not unlike the Chinese zodiac. For example, a year might be denoted with a Star, Spring, and Wood, simultaneously.
So once Gensokyo has had every year type, it starts over and something significant happens, flowers bloom, and is the incident of question in PoFV. It is revealed that a significant loss of life causes ghosts to wander into Gensokyo and take the form of flowers blooming.
Why is Gensokyo's time and significant loss of outside world life connected?
Is Gensokyo inherently causing catastrophes? Did Gensokyo do WW2?

>>16553552
>not unlike the Chinese zodiac
that's because it's the same thing you doofus

>Is Gensokyo inherently causing catastrophes?
It's that the world inherently has the catastrophes happen in cycles and Gensokyo is a part of that system just like any other place on the globe
