marriage in general is outlawed in Gensokyo, instead relying on the ancient practice of yobai for the yokai.

Somehow, I suspect nightcrawling on an actual bug youkai would be a terrible idea. And she's on the bottom of the totem pole as it is.

a cartoon duck posted:being extremely into the idea of being married is a pretty straight thing to be honest this, as a stereotype that might appear in a cartoon game, is true, and i do not understand the reaction to it. i mean we all know all the touhous are lesbians but its not like i expect zun to ever acknowledge it e: like when i think of a character obsessed with marriage i think of like, monica from friends or a woman from an old timey show with a marriage chest. i think that's all they meant ee: to put it another way, the idea of being obsessed with marriage itself instead of just wanting to marry someone you love comes from societal compulsory heterosexuality so it doesn't really apply very well to a gay character (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

serious post: the idea of wanting to be with someone you love in a stable relationship that you can come back to every day is not exclusive to straight people, lol, and we can talk all we want about the institution of marriage/christmas cake jokes but at the end of the day when most people talk about wanting to get married there is the subtext of (to someone they would enjoy being married to.) associating it purely with heterosexuality is basically taking those totally normal desires and saying gay people are too enlightened to want to have dinner every day with someone they love, because the institution of marriage is unwoke or something. it probably is but its what society is built around and its what people are socialized to want, and even removing those factors people like stability and comfort. i know plenty of gay people who wish they had that kind of relationship or feel like they won't be allowed to. esp. in reimu's case where she both lives alone and is broke its pretty easy to imagine why shed have an interest in that kind of thing, on a completely separate axis from her sexuality and in broader terms im not accusing cartoon duck of actually intending this at all but in a series that originates from a country where gay marriage is illegal saying 'only straight people are that invested in marriage' is kind of hosed, considering how desperately the gay community in japan wants it and the fact that they're literally currently fighting for it. or in other words: Endorph posted:shut.... the gently caress up. bitch.

i don't think anybody is saying gay people don't want to be in a stable relationship with someone they love and it seems like serious reaching to imply anyone is, is all

Uh, gonna chime in as a gay gal, I absolutely want to have a loving wife I'm married to. Am I gonna persue it with the same fervor some heterosexual women do (that often lands them in dead-end marriages)? No, but it's something I'd like. Duck's posts rubbed me the wrong way but I didn't feel comfortable airing my opinions out.

While I'm afraid of fanning the flames of this discussion, personally I think something attractive about Touhou to me, as an asexual/aromantic person, is that you can totally see the setting as asexual. That's not to say that none of the characters are in relationships or don't care about each other in that way--there's certainly been a lot of subtext in the comics especially--but more that no one seems to care that much? None of the characters define themselves or their motivations by their romantic relationships, if any. None of the stories are written around that kind of thing. It's just not... a big deal? At best we just see people being very casually comfortable with each other. I dunno, I just like that a lot, and I think makes it stands out from most other media. Even in stories that aren't about romance, you always have one or two side characters who are entirely defined by their romantic feelings, for example.

I will say though that the chapter where Tenshi shows up at Kasen's house and Kasen smells like Komachi and she has to make up excuses for it is incredibly funny to me.

At best we just see people being very casually comfortable with each other. I still remember the one chapter where Reimu and Marisa spy a human couple meeting under a snowy tree and shy away from them (I think it was actually a yuki-onna or ghost luring someone out?) and thinking to myself that's probably the most explicit relationship interaction we saw in the series so far. I hate to use this word but there's a sort of comfiness in how tame and low-priority these aspects are.

While we're on the subject of character pairings, why are Tenshi and Shion together? Been kind of out of the loop for a bit, sorry.

Shion gravitated toward Tenshi after she and Jo'on split because Tenshi is so incredibly, naturally fortunate as a celestial that she not only is barely affected by Shion's own misfortune, but shields them both from it. Tenshi is genuinely sweet to Shion, too, which is like, super unique. In the end, they have what might be the most unambiguous romantic implications in the series.

More specifically, it's directly from Shion's ending in AoCF (the game she debuted in), and somewhat surprisingly they were still hanging out together when they made cameos in WaHH.

 Looking to make all these (minus hurt sprites) into a gif for avatar purposes but I suck at making gifs and don't know how to do it in a way that isnt really tedious so I'm posting it here on the slim chance that someone can do it for me quicker and better.
