#Really looking forward to DDC focused works though. I have no idea how the fanon treats these characters

[tribow]

In 2013 ZUN & Twilight Frontier drop the absolute bangers that are Hopeless Masquerade and Double Dealing Character. A lot of characters get more activity through HM, so I expected it to have a huge affect on the fanon going forward.

DDC releases later into the year so I don't have anything to say about those characters for now.

With HM shaking things up, what happens in 2013 for the fanon?

Where the FUCK does this Youmu x Lunasa thing come from? Is there something I'm missing here?

Miko could not be more full of herself.

Many doujins focus on getting Kokoro to learn how to smile properly. She usually ends up smiling correctly without herself noticing.

I didn't see Suika living in the shrine at all this year. Guess everyone accepted she's in the heavens now.

Every year Rinnousuke isn't a massive pervert is a big W.

Kokoro tends to mock Miko by mimicking her mask's expression with her own face.

Mamizou is really self-conscious of her age, even if she's younger she prefers looking older. (okay this was a last year thing but I neglected to mention it)

Eientei is officially just a hospital. The only other context I see it in is Mokou centric love stories.

Whether or not Marisa becomes a magician youkai gets called to question a lot this year.

Shou is becoming less incopetent. People were like, "Oh yeah she wields a spear"

The depiction of Koishi closing her third eye is getting increasingly more violent.

Satori is getting super close to spiraling into her own subconscious out of worry for Koishi.

I thought the concept of Mokou x Mystia would stay in one doujinshi series, but the idea really spread.

KOGASA IS DOING IT, SHE'S SURPRISING PEOPLE LETS GOOOO (she still fails most of the time).

Akyuu appears so much this year. Really appreciate seeing a character that isn't from a game getting a lot of attention.

Tfw no Kosuzu :(

Byakuren and Miko get commonly referred to as Kokoro's mom and dad. (Tojiko aint too happy about that).

This year had some of the best doujins I've read. The plight of the Komeiji sisters was an interesting topic on its own, but the fanbase didn't expect these new developments for sure. Before this year, some fanworks would close the book on Koishi's case and give her some happy ending. However, her act of stealing the mask of hope showed that she wasn't doing any better. She's literally clinging to her last hope of conscious thought.

The fanworks take this information and run a whole mile with it. Koishi & Satori's actions become more desparate, Kokoro becomes this perfect fold to Koishi, and the fanon events that happen post-Hopeless Masquerade are really interesting.

Also, shoutouts to Hirasaka Makoto creating an origin story for the Sunny, Luna, and Star this year. Even with Oriental Sacred Palace completed, they keep making unofficial content for these characters.
