@sixbillicnsouls asked: ❛ Never again will I let someone in. ❜ viserra, for Alicent
Tumblr media
Alicent could not begin to imagine what her daughter was going through. Her marriage had only just begun to blossom yet here she was widowed with a young son. She wished she could take away the pain her daughter felt. Like all mothers, she wanted desperately to take her children's pain and just keep it for herself. She reaches a hand out to stroke Viserra's cheek looking in her eyes. "I hope you will not close off your heart forever, my sweet. The pain could last... many years to come I know that. But you are deserving of love your heart is so big it has room for your first husband and one day someone else."
She knows that her daughter will unfortunately have to marry again. There is even talk of her marrying again even though she feels her childbearing years are far behind her. Viserra is even younger so it will be expected. She will hold it off as long as she can but she wants her daughter to be used to the idea.

"Hold still..." (from Alex)
Send "Hold still..." for your muse/s to treat my muse/s wounds!
“Easier said than done.” Chishiya murmured out through clenched teeth, though despite the pain that came with the needle piercing his skin, the blond remained unmoving. How had he landed himself in this situation, with a complete stranger tending to his wounds? If this was any other circumstance, he would have certainly pushed the stranger away and claimed that he was fine, that he didn’t need their help. That it was nothing more than a flesh wound and that he should be on his way. But it wasn’t. The wound lay pretty deep and it wasn’t like he could treat it himself either given the awkward angle it sat just at the top of his back between his shoulder blades.
Stupid fucking Spades games. This wasn’t the first time they had almost got him killed.
“You know I can take care of myself, right? What sort of a doctor would I be if I couldn’t?” Regardless of the pain, Chishiya’s tongue remained sharp, fully equipped with more smartass remarks at the ready when the opportunity was right. After all.. he couldn’t have this new guy thinking that he owed him anything. It wasn’t like he had willingly asked for his help. “Besides, why are you helping me? You my guardian angel?” A smirk formed on his lips which soon faded as a disgruntled groan escaped him. Fuck, this hurt.

Sam fumbled Gwen’s Bonzo reveal… but he’d been primed to do so
I suspect that there's going to be a LOT of conversation around Sam after this episode, and since this episode was so good that I couldn't think of a meme or shitpost, I decided I'd throw my hat into the ring and do some character analysis instead. CW: Spoilers for The Magnus Protocol episode 18, "Solo Work" under the cut.
Episode 18 finally gave us the Sam and Gwen interaction I (and I think a lot of others) have been so desperate to finally see, and boy oh boy do I have Thoughts… none of which are new per se, but Sam’s reaction to Gwen dropping the Bonzo Bomb seems to have reinforced  the way I’ve been reading (and projecting in fanfiction oops) Sam, his personality, and his motivations.
Out of everyone new we’ve been introduced to so far, Sam has by far gotten the most explicit development and conversation around his personality. Even before episode 1, folks who participated in the ARG got a preview of our favorite baby shrimp’s personality through access to the child database spreadsheet that was, presumably, used to document the results of the experiments run on children participating in The Magnus Institute’s “gifted and talented program.” From this spreadsheet, we can gather that Baby Sam is logical, empathetic, works towards the benefit of others (prosocial), and fair… but also a rule follower and highly willing to follow the lead of an authority figure, even if it is in conflict with his personal views. The picture this information paints is an interesting one, but when taken in a vacuum leaves us with an impression of Sam as someone who is kind but lacking in backbone.
This idea of Sam as “kind but lacking in backbone” is further reinforced in canon, as Alice of multiple occasions rags on him for being “noodly” and “ickle fawn” and a “baby shrimp,” all seeming to highlight that Sam has the sort of helplessness about him typically ascribed to sopping wet kittens and baby birds. And I think that if we view Sam’s outburst when Gwen brings up Bonzo through this lens alone, it’s going to seem WAY out of character for him and a downright cruel response.
Now while I do believe that Sam is empathetic and fair and, sometimes, a little helpless, I’ve been inclined to believe from early on that much of Sam’s affable self-deprecation is a way to cover or soften what can be, at times, a tendency to be hard-headed, temperamental, a little manipulative, and petty (and I’m totally not just saying that as a people-pleaser-and-gifted-kid-in-recovery who has been projecting hard on Sam since Day 1). And it’s this second batch of personality traits, the ones that make Sam so real and interesting to me, that I think set up the disaster of a conversation between Sam and Gwen.
We have definitely seen hints of Sam’s hard-headedness and manipulative leanings in previous episodes: it comes out most often around Alice, showing his stubbornness in the form of refusing to give up his lines of questioning and curiosity about what is happening in the cases and at the OIAR; and revealing his willingness to manipulate a situation the form of subtly redirecting Alice’s focus away from prying into his crush on Celia and during the mocha incident (I have, of course, already explored Sam’s manipulative tendencies in my totally comprehensive shitpost).
And we’ve even been shown at times before episode 18 where Sam can be petty, his buzzed insistence that Alice try and keep things “professional” at work after his date with Celia being at the top of the list. The case headers filed for “Putting Down Roots” and “Pet Project” also suggest to me Sam’s ability to be stubborn and petty: in both instances, Alice and Gwen suggest a different classification than the one that Sam ultimately files. In the case of Gwen in “Pet Project,” she’s dismissive of him when he tries to ask if she’s all right.
Tumblr media
While there’s no way to know for sure, I interpret this interaction as part of the reason why Sam ultimately disregarded Gwen’s suggestion for how to file the case—she shut him down and shut him out, and the petty part of his heart couldn’t resist ignoring her recommendation out of spite. This scene also begins to lay the foundations for Sam and Gwen’s interactions in episode 18 and, I suspect, the rest of the season.
So with all of this in mind, let’s look at episode 18. When Gwen emerges from Lena’s office, Alice has just finished shutting Sam down, again. Throughout most of this season, Sam has been desperate for some validation that the cases they are listening to are real, that whatever happened to him at The Magnus Institute was real, and that him pursuing this line of questioning and wanting to find answers isn’t a waste of his time. Alice has, of course, been not-so-gently nudging him away from this line of thinking for most of the season, while Gwen has been icing him out about it up until this point. Just about the only one who has given his questioning any air has been Celia who is, conveniently, not there. Even after Alice has her very own supernatural experience that is reaffirmed in the case Sam receives, she strongly pushes back on his idea that they should investigate and pursue this further. He understands why she doesn’t want to learn more, but it’s clear that he’s still frustrated at the end of the conversation.
Enter Gwen. Here, for the first time, it seems like she’s opening up about what is going on at the OIAR, and Sam is immediately hooked, even dropping his softer and sympathetic side when Alice tries to redirect with one of her classic barbs.
Tumblr media
After being shut down time and time again, Sam is so eager for confirmation that there is more to all of this than meets the eye. And then Gwen says the B-word, and Sam loses it.
Tumblr media
Sam is laughing here, but honestly? I think he’s angry, and his reaction is one of complete disbelief that Gwen would set him up like this just to, in his mind, take the piss out of him. He thinks that, at best, Gwen is having a breakdown and he’s once again being shut out or, at worst, Gwen is making a joke at his expense. Now, he’s used to being the butt of a joke thanks to being friends with Alice, but despite that we’ve never heard him call her an asshole the way he does Gwen. Temperamental and petty, turning around his hurt and anger over being stonewalled again and again to lash out at Gwen with his joke.
And honestly, can you blame him? (I can’t.)
Of course this wasn’t the ideal reaction. I have been waiting for Sam and Gwen to have a serious heart-to-heart about what’s going on forever, and Sam pretty much blew that chance without even realizing it. And I would be surprised if we get an apology out of him anytime soon, not only because this interaction is likely to push Gwen away from wanting to even be around Sam, but also because he’s not going to believe that Gwen wasn’t making fun of him or that Gwen isn’t having a delusional breakdown until he sees Mr. Bonzo with his own two eyes.
I also think this conversation would have gone very differently had Celia been there instead of Alice. Sam’s slew of psychological testing suggests he’s willing to follow the leader, and in this case he doesn’t seem immune to Alice’s general dismissiveness of Gwen. He may have even been primed to lash out at Gwen in this moment because Alice is constantly ragging on her; chameleon-like, he’ll take on the shade of the strongest personality when he’s on uncertain or dangerous footing. It’s almost a guarantee that Celia would have taken Gwen seriously, not only because she’s likely from or connected to the TMA-verse of horrors, but also because it was Celia who received the first Mr. Bonzo case. And had Celia been there to temper the disbelief, Sam would have absolutely been ready to hear Gwen out in full. I honestly cannot wait for Celia to be back in office; she’s going to walk in to these new, rancid office vibes like Troy from Community walking into the whole room on fire while casually carrying the pizza.
So, what do I think this means for the rest of the season? Well, the title of this episode seems telling: Solo Work. Gwen and Sam’s respective desires for their experiences to be validated and their goals to be taken seriously paired with the seeming dismissiveness of those around them are going to push them along their separate paths, dangerously alone. And I suspect that it is only going to be Celia or, more likely, an encounter with Bonzo, that is going to put them back on the same path—if it happens at all. Good luck, babes!

After two episodes, what we have here?
Fabien (Ser Criston) had to turn off comments because...people are deluded even more irl, idk.
They really made Alicent that bad? She stood in front of the dragon to protect her family and especially Aegon, she attacked Rhaenyra for Aemond, she hugged Aemond after the pig prank. She was always there to comfort Helaena. Not she just has her hot girl summer and does not give a sh!t? Their really put her down to raise Aegon up.
Rhaenyra really took all responsibility for Daemon solo action?
Aaand, Ewan Mitchell's body is mocked as a meme.
This show and this fandom is getting more and more crazy.

This might sound funny and cringey, but I feel like I lost something I cared about and now it's just sadness and depression. Like it's a TV show, I get it, but we waited 2 years and for what? To get the two worst episodes imaginable. I'm really starting to believe that Sapochnik was responsible for everything good in s1, bcz Condal and Hess ruined this show. S1 wasn't perfect and I didn't like a lot of things in it, but it still managed to keep me invested so I hoped that in s2 everything would be improved. And yet, I'm so terribly disappointed. Alicent's characterization makes no sense anymore, like they want so badly to show her as a bad mother and a hypocrite and really - after ruining bnc with Alicole sex now it had to follow with her not being able to console her son but hoping on Criston is a must do?? What sort of degenerates write this??
Aemond is also ruined for me and I would love to erase that crappy brothel scene from my memory. What was it for? To show his mommy issues, vulnerability... Idc. The dialogue was bad and they did him dirty with the angles and the pose. And now he's apparently going to be there *again* in e3 and we'll get full frontal nudity. Idk why the actor agreed to this since they are obviously making a joke and meme material of his character. Not to mention that he straight up lied in the promos about being loyal (if the RR leaks are true and I'm almost 100% sure they are). I get that they are told what to say, but a more general answer would have been much better than a lie. In brief, one of my favourite s1 characters is also destroyed.
Then Cole. My god, I only waithig for him to look at the camera and say "do you hate me enough already hahah?" He's the writers punching bag atp.
Helaena barely exists.
Otto is Viserys' fanboy and ofc, appalled by his grandson. It's not as he just has lost a son and was forced to take the crown in the first place by him and his mother, no less.
Aegon got more screentime and I love Tom's performance, but I'm not fooled. He is still depicted as weak, politically inept and rash. And he'll still be a bully, apparently. Just to justify his brother's treason. F*ck you Condal, Hess and whoever else is responsible for this mess.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I just don't get how anyone can seriously praise this shitshow anymore. It could have been great, but the creators are obviously not up to the task which is now painfully obvious. I wouldn't mind the greens as villains, but don't write them as a walking joke. I'm quitting the show and would like just to forget about it. This adaptation of the Dance was a huge mistake.
I feel you! By the way, I haven't participated in any fandom life, I think, for 10 years or more, but thanks to HOTD, I started this blog, I write some critical (well, kinda) reviews, and English isn't even my native language. I've been waiting for the second season for two years and now I just feel tired and empty. So far, the only thing I've liked about these two episodes is Aegon's storyline, that's all. Everything else is bad, very bad, and judging by the leaks, it'll be even worse.
Firstly, the series has a very strange pace of the narrative. We didn't get a bunch of important plot scenes, and even those that remained were shown in a hurry, but at the same time we have many scenes like "Rhaenyra stares at the dust for three minutes", unnecessary dialogues and PAUSES between lines.
Secondly, again, an insane amount of important plot details are left behind the scenes and this is absolutely wrong. Aemond's return home, the family's reaction to what he did. Aegon's reaction when he learned of his son's death. Aemond's reaction when he finds out what his actions have led to. And so on and so forth. Many of the characters' actions are shown without context. Alicent fucks with Criston - cool, but can I have some additional information? How long has this been going on, what feelings do they have for each other, how have they developed, like, anything? The same can be said about the scene in the brothel - no context.
Thirdly, it's unclear what's going on with the characters, as if the screenwriters decided to make the greens the most unpleasant people in the world. So far, I only like Aegon and Helaena. I can't even say anything about Aemond, because his only dialogue scene is built around Daemon and Luke, damn them. I just can't.
Everything annoys me except Aegon lol. So yes, I understand you.

I mean I think it makes sense for heartstopper to not have anything explicit going on as one of them only Just realised he liked boys and the other one has an ED, they do talk about it pretty directly in the show so its addressed not totally unrealistically. But as for fan response yeah there was a weird thing amongst… a certain subset of fans of making a joke/meme out of a single throwaway line in the books where they mention having sex, maybe the accessibility draws that type of crowd but I don’t think that’s the fault of the show/comic itself 😅 esp as things get fairly explicit in the comics later as they get older
I have complicated feelings about Heartstopper. I actually like it in theory as Baby’s First Gay Show (I would have rather had it then Queer as Folk when I was 14) and in theory it’s a uncomplicated cozy, warm, fuzzy story about two young boys falling in love. It’s the definition of Toothrotting Fluff
However in practice, it feels alienating to me as a gay man when the only two things gay boys are allowed to be in the show are Pure UwU Tumblr Softboy who Speaks in Therapy-ese and Pure Evil Rapist who is brought back into the show after the point the comic counterpart had been written out just to be a punching bag for the Valiant Bisexual Girl to yell at and out in front of their classmates and then Get Dunked On by his ex when he tries to apologize and then have The Symbolism Doodles symbolically reject him from the LGBT community and then get written out of the story.
Combined with the complete stripping away of any mention of sexuality outside of exactly One Scene where they discuss the gay equivalent of Waiting Until Marriage, it does come off as incredibly puritan even if it’s justified in-story by Charlie’s ED and I do actually attribute that in part to the source material. Alice Oseman is by their own admission, pretty uncomfortable with the idea of sex and it shows in the way Nick and Charlie are written. As Trixie and Katya put it: they seem like they just want to hold hands at the post office. The show to this point has been very very uncomfortable with the idea that these two boys might be attracted to each other in a not-purely-romantic way, and when the only other gay character that did show some level of sexual attraction that maybe wasn’t purely romantic is Ben Fucking Hope, the implication seems to be that there’s a Right and Wrong way to be Gay in the eyes of the story.
It also doesn’t escape my notice that Love, Victor petered away into obscurity but Heartstopper is seen as the pinnacle of Gay Representation to a lot of people. Love, Victor was unafraid of teenage boys of all sexualities being sexual beings and in fact reckons with it in ways that were VERY close to my actual experiences, like everything with Victor and his mom coming to terms with him having a romantic and sexual relationship with his boyfriend. Disney shafted LV a lot but Netflix has this Pure Sanitized Risk-free Romance on the front page every time a new season comes out and that also just stings. There’s the feeling that maybe if LV had been more chaste, more palatable, it would have actually been a major success.
I don’t want to sound too dismissive of what HS is for a lot of people but to me there’s just something that makes me feel like it was never for me and that could be because I’m too old for it, but it sometimes feels like it wasn’t for me because it’s not for gay men at all.

That’s the exact flavor that a lot of Rhaenicents like. Alicent is nothing if she is not begging at Rhaenyra’s feet her being her biggest cheerleader. They don’t actually care about our the character otherwise. They’ve been waiting for Rhaenyra to take Kings landing just they can see Alicent actually on her knees begging her for mercy.
Ultimately most of the blame goes to the writers who turned Alicent into a punching bag and their sole device to project lessons of karma, misogyny and hypocrisy on and not any of the more deserving characters. As proven by the new write up of viserys’s character this season. How do you intentionally show us that he is not only an awful father, but husband and king as well. Have multiple characters think this and completely rewrite history the next season about a man who said “Look me in the eyes” to his 10 year old that literally fucking lost his eye minutes ago. How do you say Alicent had a loving marriage when she dreaded visiting this man at night, went catatonic underneath him and he knows she doesn’t like it, knows she’s absent mentally and he still forces her to look at him while he rapes her?
The writers constant need to put Alicent into her place and then knock her down a few more pegs still. At this point it’s gratuitous and heavy handed. We get it, Alicent is not the right kind of woman. She can’t right a dragon, fight with a sword or shoot a bow. She doesn’t secretly wish she were a knight or a man. She’s not a guys girl. Therefore we shouldn’t root for her. We get it, we got it season 1 pre time skip that saw a completely innocent girl aged 14-18 whose worst crime at the time was gossip, be pimped out by her own father. Married to an old and ailing king who would never love or respect her. Endure his nightly rapes and become a mother at 15 and would spend most of the next 5 years pregnant who would never love his children. Show her support to her ex best friend who has ignored and treated her with hostility for 3 years and be laughed at and treated like an outsider by her husband and his gross child grooming brother who deserves nothing but the worse.
Daemon gets a redemption arc which will only fuel the Stans baby girlification of him while not only will team black hate Alicent, now a lot of team green hate her too. Opening her AND Olivia up for more misogyny and hate.
Those “take all of their misery and give it to______” memes are popular in this fandom but the writers really took that to heart. They take everyone’s misery and gives it to Alicent. Take an absolutely horrible character, take the horrible shit that they do and pay it back to Alicent 10 fold.
Take the worst man you know- a murderer, a child groomer, a proud misogynist, a woman beater. Have this man be directly responsible for Alicent’s 4 year old Grandson’s murder but make it Alicent’s fault for having sex with the man she’s had feelings for since she was 14 years old. She has this consensual, pleasurable sexual relationship- her first consensual relationship with this man who is devoted to her. A sexual abuse victim of 2 men finally feels comfortable enough with a man that she has sex with him with no clothes on, in the daylight and at night- sometimes in the same day. Shes not going away in her head during. She’s not being blackmailed. It’s not without religious guilt but it’s something she wants, she even initiates and takes lead.
They take this relationship, these consensual encounters with the man who she considers her “Lover” and they flip it on them, on her. They completely change the scene from its book counterpart and make it her fault because she was being a “whore” and a “hypocrite”. She was having sex while her Grandson was being murdered- an event she had no idea that was going to happen. It’s framed in a way that it’s her fault. Not Daemon’s, not B & C’s, not Aemond’s, not Viserys for planting the seeds for 2 decades- longer than that when you consider all the times we welcomed Daemon back at court after doing things like grooming his daughter and murdering his wife (and people say Alicent covered up for Aegon? What would they expect to happen when Daemon gets away with everything including murder? When Ironrod is the master of laws and can barely muster up respect for Alicent, wtf do TB think he would’ve done with Aegon? Castrated? The wall? Lmao, Alicent’s slapping, yelling at him and attempted disowning is more of a punishment than those men would give to Prince Aegon Targaryen who they were all planning a usurpation for)
It’s something Alicent needs to feel guilty for while the responsible parties are either unaffected or given scenes to make them sympathetic or a redemption journey. They keep showing that damn dog but Jaehaerys has become he who shan’t be mentioned.
Helaena has to forgive her mother who apparently nicked one of those glass candles from the Hightower as a small child, taught herself how to use it with that Hightower sorcery, used it to look into the future and saw when, where and how blood and cheese would take place but just decided not to stop it because she had a dick appointment.
Yet she’s coming to Daemon in his 3 eyed Raven dreams to tell him that he knows the role he has to play in saving the world- when he said a few episodes that he would walk away from his family if they loss. He also sent the Blackwoods to rape and pillage the Brackens and other Riverland families. Apparently he is deserving of redemption, for the fans to go “See, he never wanted to rule! He just wanted his family’s love and approval!” “He is in full support of Rhaenyra”
You know who else wanted her family’s love and approval- anybody’s love that she didn’t have to give parts of herself away for? This mildly bitchy woman who is actually one of the softest characters in the series, Alicent fucking Hightower. After her life ended at 14 years old, she’s spent the last 20 years in misery, she’s given all of herself to everyone else. Surely she has redeemed herself for the crime of not being the one to have Aemma sliced open and marrying her daughter’s 14 year old friend. She is the reason that Rhaenyra wasn’t caught off guard and murdered at the order of her father and council. Surely after losing for so long, she’ll get a win and the love she never had but nope, she is never going to get it.
Instead she gives up on her family aside from her daughter and granddaughter (and honestly, I can’t entirely blame her.) instead of just leaving, finding the son she saved and telling him to bow out. She goes to Rhaenyra for no logical reason at all, hands Rhaenyra the castle AND most of the people she loves on a silver platter and gets nothing in return but more humiliation, called a whore again, no guarantee of safety for her daughter, granddaughter or innocent youngest son and a clown nose.
Alicent is smarter than this! Or she was.
The people in the writer’s room hate her so much and that’s why they could never make me hate her.
You’ve summed everything up perfectly! Great point about daemon being given a redemption arc while Alicent is punished by the narrative for not fitting Condal and Hess’ idea of an ideal woman which is super problematic. Good comparison on Alicent covering up Diana’s rape vs Viserys and to a lesser extent, adult Rhaenyra covering up all of daemon’s crimes including Rhea Royce’s murder (and sitting at the table with viserys as he mocked rhea’s family and threatened to take their claim) and Rhaenyra presumably won’t hold him accountable or acknowledge the raping and pillaging daemon arranged in her name and forgive him for also murdering a 4 year old in her name. Alicent was definitely wrong for keeping dyana quiet and not doing more to help her but none of those men on the council including Otto would have done anything to Aegon over the rape. Otto might’ve yelled at him in I’m mad that your choice of victim is speaking out not that you’ve done this terrible thing kind of way. The only time daemon was held accountable was when the riverlords demanded justice for the war crimes and Oscar Tully, a child, ordered daemon to execute the Blackwood who committed those crimes on daemons orders (there’s also a reason we didn’t see the children being killed and women being raped, it’s because it would be harder to view daemon as redeemable just like seeing Aegon’s traumatised, named victim has much more of an impact than if we just heard Erryk say that Aegon sexually assaults serving girls)
Back to Alicent, they can never make me hate her.. if they think a woman needs to be humbled and revert back to her teenage self after a season of what felt like one long humiliation ritual, sex scenes that didn’t make the Final Cut and made Olivia feel uncomfortable and instead of ending all of this in some kind of catharsis for Alicent they have beg for forgiveness and mercy from the other female lead who will call her a whore and a hypocrite to appease fans who have been saying Alicent is a hypocritical judgmental whore who needs to be put in her placefor day one. This meeting with Rhaenyra will lead to the deaths of every single person Alicent loves (her sons, including innocent daeron, her daughter who she spent the season trying to protect, her father, her lover, her brother who is also innocent as in he hasn’t been involved in any of the usurper politics and only seemed to join this war out of duty) and I’m sure they’ll constantly remind the audience that Alicent took down team green and Rhaenyra’s hands will conviently stay relatively clean.

@cahroline asked: “i don’t mean to pry. i’m just worried.” for alice !
Tumblr media
"No- no you know what I think? I think you're just being a goddamn nosy bitch." Alice says as she works frantically to put back on her large leather cuffs. She was sure that the showers were empty and she could keep them off longer but no of course someone had to come in. She's already stressed out enough as is she doesn't need this being the hot gossip around camp. She can see it now the oh poor her looks and the snide comments as she walks past.
It puts a lump in her throat and she feels like she could cry. Still she's good at shoving that shit down so she does. Pushing it down more to freak out about later more to cry about when she had the chance. She's packing her stuff up trying to leave but the angry words keep spewing out. "Some of us have more to deal with in life than if we're like finally going to let the future police chief goode get to second base or not. That has to be totally hard I'm sure I mean do you accept your future no personality stay at home mom to 4 future cops life now or do you rebel for a few years before you fall into the inevitable. Maybe you focus on those hard questions in your life instead of trying to make me your Shadyside pity project." She's purposeful when she shoulder-checks Caroline hard on the way out the door.

Touhou Project (Japanese: 東方Project, Hepburn: Tōhō Purojekuto), also known simply as Touhou (東方, meaning "Eastern" or "Oriental"), is a bullet hell shoot 'em up video game series created by independent Japanese doujin soft developer Team Shanghai Alice. The team's sole member, Jun'ya "ZUN" Ōta, has independently developed programming, graphics, writing, and music for the series, publishing 19 mainline games and 13 spin-offs since 1997. ZUN has also produced related print works and music albums, and collaborated with doujin developer Twilight Frontier on seven of the official spin-offs, six of which are fighting games.[1]
The first five games were developed for the Japanese NEC PC-9800 computer series, with the first, Highly Responsive to Prayers, released in August 1997; the series' signature danmaku (弾幕, lit. 'bullet curtain') mechanics were introduced in the second game, Story of Eastern Wonderland (also 1997). The release of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil in August 2002 marked a shift to Microsoft Windows. Numerous sequels followed, including several spin-offs departing from the traditional bullet hell format.
The Touhou Project is set in Gensokyo,[a] a land sealed from the outside world and primarily inhabited by humans and yōkai, legendary creatures from Japanese folklore that are personified as bishōjo in an anthropomorphic moe style. Reimu Hakurei, the miko of the Hakurei Shrine and the main character of the series, is often tasked with resolving supernatural "incidents" caused in and around Gensokyo, she is joined by Marisa Kirisame after the second game.
Touhou Project has become more particularly notable as a prominent source of Japanese dōjin content, with the series spawning a vast body of fan-made works such as artwork, music, print works, video games, and Internet memes. Because of this, it has gained a cult following outside of Japan. The popularity of the series and its derivative works has been attributed in part to the few restrictions placed by ZUN on the use of his content. Unofficial works are frequently sold at fan conventions, including Comiket, where the franchise has frequently held the record for circle participation, and the official convention Reitaisai, where trial versions of the official games are typically distributed prior to release.
understandable have a great day

Not proud of how Drac looks in these, they're pretty old and I was still trying to figure out how to draw him (again) So excuse the bad/in poor taste nose shape.
These were based on some WIR-Verse RP things between me, @lovelylivelyv and another friend of mine.
In the first, Drac tries to talk down Ericka from killing Shrek's Fairy Godmother in a protective rage for her attacking Norman Babcock and insulting Alice for her relationship with Bendy and their son, Jack. Ericka wants to go rip the fairy a new one for saying Angel's and devils can't live happily ever after, but while Drac would LOVE to let her tear the old woman apart....this fairy's powerful, and if Ericka dies outside their game, she won't come back. Ever. And he can't bring himself to risk losing ANOTHER Zing. Not again.
The second is after the Cronies, the Hotel Transylvania 2 update villains, turned traitor on the game and tried to destroy it. They managed to drive them off, but Drac's still upset about the attack on his beloved home. Ericka tries to cheer him up....and maybe FINALLY get permission to go after the villains themselves.
Basically, Drac is the pragmatic sensible braincell between him and Ericka, while Ericka's the emotional hot-head ex-huntress going "Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just want go go batpoop!?" Struggling with not solving her problems by violence. He deals with things by hiding, isolating, doing what needs to be done to keep his family safe - very much a flight or freeze response; but Ericka's instinct tends to be fight. They're very much that angry/chaotic energy and Serious/No energy meme with him holding her leash. XD Of course, sometimes it's the other way around where Ericka has to be the reasonable one but...alot of times it's this. XD And I LIVE for it.
Honestly, I love how this contrasts with @black-ak9 's Drartha where Drac was the fighty one. XD How the tables have turned...

(This is about the 'your crush' meme) i'm curious about what you mean that Francis is Arthur's kids' father and not mother? Are they both not fathers?
[NSFW NSFW NSFW NSFW]
In my nationverse setup, the country-humans have no fixed gender. With different stages, their bodies will change to different genders depending on the period. To avoid trouble, for each body shape they will have different names. England in his male phase will use the name Arthur, while in her female phase she will use the name Alice. France in his male phase will use the name Francis, while in her female phase she will use the name Marianne. With each stage, hormones in the body and life circumstances will cause them to change their temperament, behavior and lifestyle, so even though they are the same person, Arthur still has differences compared to Alice.
Yes, for explaining the birth of children I never used headcanon mpreg. I changed the character's gender 👍
--------------
WARNING DEAD DOVE. I have explained your question above. You can stop reading here.
In a fanfic (p0rn) that I would never, ever dare post, I mentioned the birth of Arthur and Marianne's children. The context of this fanfic is that Arthur has lost his memory of his French wife, and he slowly remembers their past times. I will quote somes passages so you can better understand the "context" of their children’s birth and... uhm, their ambiguous and troubled relationship (please don't judge me):
"He could only vaguely grasp the memories between the two at a time of change in the world, that they had stumbled and entwined with each other on a drunken night, they agreed to be s3x partners but there was no commitment. No more forced than that, and children, many children, were born one after another. They competed with each other, sharing power with each other. She was beheaded, he couldn't save her in time. The time between the two world wars made them closer than ever, but the physical element almost ceased to exist between them. After that, they gradually became cold to each other, Marianne was cold to him and he hated her."
-
"Arthur remembered the first time they made love. He carried Marianne back to his pirate ship as a hostage, and then, they were drunk, Marianne herself took the initiative to seduce him. She took the initiative to seduce him, but at the peak moment, she told him not to c*m inside. How could he be so restrained? He c*m inside her twice, but the next time she begged him to c*m inside her. From the pirate ship to the land in the New World, that whole week they were like animals in heat clinging to each other. Children were born one after another, children with half English blood and half continental aristocratic blood."
-
" “If you call me to be your husband, please fulfill the virtues of a wife.” Arthur said.
“Mmm~” She moaned, not knowing if it was in response to his words or because his stick rubbed evenly on the sweet spot inside her.
“That's being loyal to me, don't hang out with… guys from the continent. No, the women too.” Arthur hinted. He wrapped his hands around her breasts and fondled them a bit, thinking to himself that he needed to be more gentle with them. “It's up to you to give birth or not. But if you give birth to a child, only give birth to MY child.”
He kissed her shoulder. His hand reached down to caress her slightly bulging lower abdomen.
“Will you give birth to a litter of kittens, or a litter of wolf cubs?”
The strange vibration in Arthur's voice brought Marianne back to her senses a little. Drops of sweat fell from the two people, mixing with each other. She picked up the hand that was caressing her chest and kissed his wrist:
“If it was a girl, it would be a cat like me. If it was a boy, it would be a wolf like you.” She turned around, her purple eyes looking at him earnestly. “I will accept everything you give me and I will give you everything I have in return. I want to have children with the person I love.”
They kiss. Lips and tongue twisted, teasing like a couple. For Marianne, it was her husband's love. For Arthur, this was a dream in which his hatred, his first love, his obsession actively invited him and wanted to have children with him. He didn’t want to wake up."
-
"When Marianne was sleeping soundly in his arms, Arthur was still restless. He looked at the person lying in his arms, running his hands through her brown hair. He observed her curled brown eyelids closing, her lips were faded with lipstick but still pink, her bare back was full of bite marks, and he still couldn't believe that she was now his wife.
Marianne stirred slightly. She wrapped her arms around him and nuzzled his chest. Even when she slept, he still felt that she loved him. It wasn't like this before. In the past, after both of them finished, they would both lie on opposite sides of the bed. At that time, he looked at her for a while and then left first. He didn't know how she would feel afterward, but he thought she wouldn't mind too much.
Then he fell asleep. He gradually remembered that in the past, their relationship only stopped at s3x partners. After that, when the relationship between both countries improved, she often went to England to hang out with him more. He grumbled at her, asking her why she came to his place to play, but still walked around with her. Every time she noticed a piece of jewelry, he would secretly buy it and give it to her in the name of a "diplomatic gift". They spent more time together without having s3x. They talked more, and sometimes he opened up to her. He gradually spent the night with her until morning, no longer leaving before she woke up. Their positions on the bed got closer little by little, then without knowing it, they gradually hugged each other and fell asleep. He discovered that when he hugged her, he slept better than usual.
In fact, they never said they loved each other. Never. Just one day, he suddenly became overwhelmed with nostalgia for that woman. He rushed out of the house, went to the jewelry store to buy a large diamond ring, then got on the train to cross the channel to get to her. The first thing he did when he met her was hug her. He saw her face turn pink. He asked her if he proposed to her now, would she agree? She thought he was joking, so without hesitation she jokingly told him that she would agree. Every now and then, he asked that question. Until he pushed her onto the bed, he still asked, and she was still half-joking and half-serious that she would. He was still not very sure. When he pushed inside her, she called him her beloved husband, she would love him to death.
When she woke up, there was a diamond ring in her hand. He asked her with a red face: do you want to be my wife? And they made love one more time. A few months later, they were officially husband and wife.
He will never forget the image of her in her wedding dress, walking towards him, telling him how handsome he looked and again saying that she would love him forever. He asked her why she chose him? She became confused. It's like the fact that she chose him was always obvious in her mind.
When he opened his eyes and woke up, tears were already falling on his face."
-
As you might have guessed, actually at the time the children were born, they were not yet actually married, nor had they officially established a love relationship. During the war, they no longer had that friend with benefits relationship: both focused on other matters. They became teammates, and although they didn't make love, their relationship became deeper than ever. In the 60s and 70s, they became cold towards each other, but quickly pulled each other into other friend with benefits relationship. That's right, they love each other deeply, so every time they can't be together openly, or don't dare to confess their love to each other, or are denying their feelings, they will become fwb. It wasn't until the early 21st century that Arthur proposed to Marianne and they got married.
