Blissey omegalol Day 35: Orange I have absolutely no feeling towards orange. In fact, I have no clue why she got this high, as I only have one interesting thing to say about her. In puppet dance performance, she’s one of the best puppets because her stat line is like Blissey. Overall, not interesting in the slightest, and I struggle to find stuff to talk about with her.

Vampire girl who has Rumia vibes Day 36: Kurumi Kurumi is another PC98 character that has nothing special. I only really like her for her design, which reminds me of Rumia. In fact, she fills the same kind of role as her, being a reminder that youkai do kill people. I also have used her in tpdp a decent amount, so I’m a bit partial to her. Overall, vampire girl with a nice design.

Kurumi is my favourite PC-98 character! I just think she's pretty cute and I like her vampire design a lot. Kurumi day on the touhou calendar is also on my birthday ; )

From my experience, it seems to depend on whether or not the fan content is being sold for money. If not, the guidelines are at best a suggestion really. Touhou Fangame Jams I take part in are shared and played through Itch.io, and I'm pretty sure the official games can't be found there. Overall, most people do follow the guidelines. Even if you are technically breaking them, if you manage to fly under the radar you'll be fine. I purchase the newer games on DLSite, and seeing all the content that obviously violates a... certain stated guideline that are allowed to be sold there tells me there is no real strict enforcement of it either. Now if you start turning heads, you are painting a huge target on your back (also crowdfunding a Touhou fan project is likely going to get you struck down).

I have a feeling this rule about "no spoilers" has always been up. Actually, it was one of the first thing I was taught about when I discovered Touhou. And yes, fans seems to be strictly reinforcing this rule as well. even if the game in question may be 20 years or older by now. Most recent such example I have seen was when I was watching AspreyFM play various games in the main series. He was always covering the screen when the ending appeared, and everyone said that if you show the ending, you are basically going to get a copyright strike or treated it like you are going to break an actual rule from the Criminal Code. Oh, most definitely. Our series of interest totally does not have a lot of infamy surrounding it due to the sheer amount of content or the legality of some of that content. Absolutely not, this rule is reinforced by the book by the community (especially the Japanese/East Asian one)... God Outside the rule about "no ending spoilers", to what degree do people actually respect the official guidelines?

This makes me think of all the fan shmups with nonsensical names in the style of official ones lol. Some of the teams I've been on during fan projects go flipping through a thesaurus for inspiration. Not a bad thing, but kind of funny in a way. This has always been the oddest rule to me. I'm not entirely sure what to interpret from it. Is it a thing to prevent spoilers? Some of the games need to have a specific ending to explain some things in another game. Are we not allowed to talk about Sanae's UFO ending, where it's revealed that the Moriya Shrine gods helped build Myouren Temple that appears in Ten Desires? Does this also mean someone can't write an AU fanwork derived from a Bad Ending? I think probably only the Western fanbase would have this issue. I am absolutely certain that this rule in particular is followed the most. 100%.

Alice: "Thank you" Alice took a seat at the free table then looked at the menu. "And now, let's see………" "I'll have this mixed fruits, please."

Mon makes the most sense to me to be the currency of Gensokyo. Even though Yen would have existed for a few years before the barrier would go up, there is nothing backing up the worth of fiat currency afterwards. I believe the inhabitants would be more familiar with the Mon due to its longer circulation period. Also, there's an Ability Card in UM that clearly depicts Mon in it: There's also the golden tiles in UM that represent a currency for buying and trading Ability Cards. It's likely just meant to be an in-game sort of thing only, but I like to think it could be used in a fangame or something since it now exists as a type of currency in canon. Muenzuka is pretty much where outside world things turn up. From what I've read, objects from the outside world, especially tech, is kind of worthless. Rinnosuke found and identified Smartphones, and sold them at his shop as fancy paperweights in AFiEU. I don't really think there can be a smuggler ring given the microscopic list of characters who can freely pass through the barrier, and even less who'd actually care about that sort of thing. The only character I can think of who would might be interested in that is someone like Mamizou.
