thinking about yuki and mai from pc98 touhou

mai is honestly secretly really ruthless and it’s a little insane

like when you reach stage 4 in touhou 5 and you kill mai first

yuki’s all like "wtf i’m gonna avenge her that’s so crazy"

but when yuki dies first mai’s like "fiiiinally!!!!!!!! now i'm not like held back or whatever"

that’s a little sad but. given their premises as magicians it sorta makes sense a little bit if you think about that dynamic sorta intricately

i know it’s not super likely that they’d make other official appearances (especially considering touhou 16 literally has its own mai so. that’d make things weird a little (things are already weird between those two)) but

i still like to hear about them period

i think they're very interesting characters and they're interesting together

never mentioned this but i just wanna get it out there that i acknowledge ok

toyohime in touhou 20 is huge

really huge

ok

thinking about yuuka a lot recently

she not really a demented type character like people like to say she is sometimes like yeah i know she carries like some sort of notoriety status in tandem w her caring for her sunflowers her abilities and the fact that she's got a few sorta questionable quirks but like idk

i fw her

perceivable pros to her as a character

i also fw when she gets portrayed w dynamics that kinda reel in wriggle nightbug and medicine melancholy

no sadism in this ballpark

thinking about Rei'sen

a little interested in her premise even if she is kinda haphazardly just like a pupil for the watatsuki sisters and weirdly not so much more than that... that's considering that there are like other minor appearances of her

those "other minor appearances" sorta just bounce off that first appearance that i brought up tho... the pupil ish... so it's not like there's so much to that stuff as a whole

would be very interesting if she got more time in the canon and things would unfold like.. differently than they have been by this point... like instead of just her doing stuff with reimu and eirin without sooo much substance to those encounters

kinda really wanna see other things unfold
