Might be a pretty basic take by the standards of more seasoned yuri fans, but it's my perspective as someone who's mostly read yuri in a Touhou context (though a lot of it), and exclusively manga from the Japanese fans as opposed to i.e. written fics.

Touhou yuri (using it very broadly here to describe any kind of wlw shipping present) is, across the board, in a pool of fan literature going back twenty years, remarkably good at taking the lesbian part for granted. Not counting outright het content or works that simply don't bring it up, I have only very vague memories of a character's lesbian orientation being either denied or even brought to question (even in the cliche "But we're both girls!" manner, which even as a somewhat dead horse trope you might still expect to see, given plenty of doujin writing isn't exactly highbrow). You might be able to read "Does she like girls?" between the lines in the usual question of "Does she like me?" if you really want to, but the way it's still basically treated as default is fun to me. There's a reason Touhou basically has honorary yuri status on e.g. Dynasty Reader, even the stories with effectively zero shipping in them. You might not notice if you haven't browsed the site, but it's literally nothing but yuri + Touhou. We even got upload rights just so we could post more Touhou.

(Of course, Touhou being yuri city is part of the reason any hint of straight romance gets a really strong kneejerk reaction from people, including me. But that's also because the lack of usable male characters makes that shipping inherently hamfisted, up to and including literally making up cardboard villager OCs. Basically the only positive example I can remember off the top of my head is Hisona's An Old Poem for the Cuckoo Bird depicting Youki with a 1000-year-old mostly joking crush on Nue, which after some chin-scratching I decided I liked alright. And Hisona of course has plenty of yuri cred to cover for it.)

But although taken for granted, most Touhou yuri is one or more of: a.) On a "blushing maidens thinking about holding hands" level in its approach to romance, b.) Only depicting the starting moments of a relationship, at best - usually just pining, c.) Only off-handedly teasing, basically to acknowledge the ship is there, d.) Showing a very close and loving relationship but leaving the romance part subtextual, even if thinly veiled.

While those are all fine - some of my favorite artists like e.g. Ashiyama undeniably fall under d.) - it means that artists who depict more established couples, and couples that get depicted as more established, stand out. I love when a story is very blunt about two characters, whether the focus is actually on them or not, already being an item. Be it due to a difference in target demographic or what, many of these works seem to have a slight lean towards being more raunchy/horny even when not outright R-18, but I don't actually mind that too much when it does happen - as long as they're fun and raunchy, as opposed to only raunchy or, god forbid, unfun in raunchy ways.

I like how Moyazou depicts Mokou and Keine as basically-married. I like how Atoki depicts YuuParu or SakiYachi after drawing like twenty books of them (each). I like when Kawayabug depicts Tojiko as Miko's beleaguered wife. But the example of the day is obviously risui (of Ladies of Scarlet Devil Mansion), who you might have guessed inspired this ramble. Funnily enough, in LoSDM she seems to have walked back Meiling and Sakuya's relationship coincidentally at the same time she toned down the content to fit SCoOW's guidelines, compared to her usual works that have MeiSaku at a much more established and mutual stage.

But the point stands that it's really fun to see LoSDM almost rub it in your face from the very start - from Meiling's dream to every other conversation she has - that everyone in it is unapologetically and openly lesbian, assumes everyone else to be a lesbian, and doesn't hesitate to talk about it like a (romcom idiot) adult.

Also, risui draw lady very good

A compilation of various YuuParu guest comics starting in 2011. From fluffy, to serious, to more mature yuri or Parsee being nasty, there should be a little bit of everything. Please note: One of the comics is also included in the artist’s previous AyaSana compilation.

headcanon: previous hakurei shrine maiden

While she doesn’t remember her personally, Reimu is correct in assuming the shrine maiden before her was her mother. Her whereabouts in the present day are unknown, but it’s highly likely that she has since died, whether it be of illness or a youkai attack.

Her mother’s name was Hakurei Ukiyo. (art by Atoki!)

Ukiyo was, for the most part, Reimu’s primary tutor regarding the regular duties of the Hakurei Shrine maiden — tending to the barrier, purification rituals, youkai extermination, and so on and so forth. Reimu’s proficiency in these areas comes from the fact she’s been learning the ins and outs since early childhood from a patient and kind teacher who was striving to see her excel.

By some stroke of terrible luck, Ukiyo vanished without much of a trace sometime before The Highly Responsive to Prayers, leaving Reimu to fend predominantly for herself despite her young age. By some stroke of good luck, many of Reimu’s early childhood memories have been lost to her mind, and thus the disappearance of her family holds little weight over her daily life. This doesn’t prevent her from occasionally getting nostalgic, of course — especially when one of the youkai who knew Ukiyo bring her up in conversation.

Due to a lack of suitable art for my preferred headcanon appearance of the former shrine maiden, Ukiyo will not have a faceclaim until later.
