The Hakurei God, granting Reimu their blessings even though she doesn't know who or what they are:

[sukimas]

I drew "Miette", or my version of the Hakurei God (as she's probably perceived in the modern day, rather than how she's always looked.)

She doesn't seem to be in that good of a mood, though...

Decided to make a fanart of a Touhou Fanfic called "Dreams and Navigation" by @ailingwriter !!

I really like this fic sm, its interesting and I love how its going!

It might not be the best thing and I also added my own additions to the clothes, so yeah ^^;

[tinpot64]

[zichiwatchesyou]

//In case anyone needed a visual reference on what the Hakurei Goddess looks like on this blog, here she is in all her (glory?)!//

[occasionaltouhou]

My favorite theory is still that Reimu is the Hakurei God herself. The Hakurei bloodline finally died out and Reimu was stuck doing the job herself because it still had to be done, and she is INCREDIBLY annoyed about that.

as much as i could point out the many many flaws with this i can't deny there is a kind of inherent beauty to it. endorsed

[illegitimate-sword-of-god]

I can see how Reimu hasn't added some of the recent gods she's found in the wild to her shrine, Hina's too fucked, Hecatia too influential, the Chicken has a job, Keiki would probably turn her into clay and then a enthusiastic shrine maiden etc and so on. You can see most aren't good fits.

But how come Reimu and Chimata haven't landed a sweet contract deal yet? The god needs a shrine that regularly has markets on it, and Reimu benefits from having an actual God with Blessings; They were made for each other.

The vengeful ones of Gensokyo

This was inspired by DC's death metal a what if scenarios in the koishi komeiji heart throbbing adventures universe in different realities like what if urick makes a deal with obsidian so you can take control and kills every single lunarian including the humans upon their world or reimu has urick's powers so she can revenge everyone that died in gensokyo or yukari wields the blades of exile from urick so she can have her revenge on the lunarians

Urick who breaks

Superhero turned villain urick name: supernova

Kaiju Urick name: Ragnarok

Yokai of war name: aras he's an Oni who was raised by urick he was an infant before he died he gave his powers to aras to take revenge

Fumo urick (warning this thing will literally kill you)

Reimu hakurei (the vengeful one)

Yukari yakumo (the last yakumo)

I was going to add more characters from Touhou and added other characters of my work as well it's going to take some time for me to do this but I might need to use it different piece of paper to make it it's going to take some time but it will be worth it

[psi-hate]

i really liked @sukimas' hakurei god Miette and felt the need to draw her, for i am drawn to grumpy cat girls ( •̀ ω •́ )y

[silvaruslupus]

I can't believe if you bring Chimata's ability card to her fight Reimu just absolutely roasts how terrible of a card it is, calling it completely useless. (I mean duh on the last boss it would be useless)

And then Chimata's just like "I'm going to fucking kill you."

On Shrine Maidens, Gods, and the History of Gensoukyou

My personal opinion is that shrine maiden #13 (from the PCB prologue) is Reimu's predecessor; the attitude that she holds is similar to PC-98 Reimu's, in that both seem to be aware of youkai as a problem but neither act especially threatened by them. The "kind of an airhead" trait seems to be common among shrine maidens.

Now, why do I think that she's the thirteenth shrine maiden since Gensoukyou was founded, specifically? That's primarily because the Hakurei Shrine has... well... a lot wrong with it in the modern day. A god of youkai extermination is working alongside youkai.

Explicitly not for the purposes of youkai extermination, at that:

You could see them as a collaborator in the Gensoukyou project, except for this:

If they were aware and a willing architect of Reimu's job being just "to balance between humans and youkai" rather than "to tend the shrine", it would be hard for them to be angry because she's always off doing her job. I think it's quite likely that they're angry about the fact that A.) They've been forgotten entirely and B.) Their shrine maiden is working with youkai instead of exterminating them.

There's another piece of the puzzle in terms of their role in Gensoukyou:

A youkai calling the Hakurei Shrine her shrine. Not "our" shrine, like you'd expect if the Hakurei God was a collaborator on this project- Yukari's shrine specifically. (Of course, we can conclude from the "god of youkai extermination" and "the god of this shrine is angry" comments that Yukari isn't a god playing at being a youkai, either.) The Hakurei Shrine, as it currently stands, is something that you can consider an "artificial creation of youkai."

Rinnosuke comes to a similar conclusion.

So, the Hakurei Shrine is a defiled mockery of a shrine, that much is true. But what does that have to do with shrine maiden lifespans? Well, if the shrine was created in its current form alongside Gensoukyou, that implies about 140 years of history. (138, to be specific, but let's not bother with the details. This will still be on my blog by 2025, hopefully.) We get the 13th Hakurei shrine maiden's inscription (presumably before the year 1996, since she's not Reimu.) describing the current conditions of Gensoukyou as similar to those of the PC-98 games.

However, how do we know that she's the 13th shrine maiden since Gensoukyou was created, rather than simply since the Hakurei Shrine was founded? Well, it's a simple process of inference. The Hakurei Shrine prior to Gensoukyou as it is today was likely a proper youkai-exterminating shrine.

That it has become what it is now is a surprising discontinuity.

There aren't any records that remain to tell what the Hakurei God's name is, which is somewhat odd; you'd think that in a land which has been known as a place where youkai extermination is necessary for hundreds of years, people would remember that there was a god of it.

That is to say, the records probably didn't just stop being kept; they were probably deliberately lost, or destroyed. But we have the 13th Hakurei Shrine Maiden's inscription of Gensoukyou's current state- so it isn't like all records of what happen with the shrine disappear.

It's easy to infer, under these conditions, what happened. The god of youkai extermination, losing influence as youkai also lost influence, had a shrine that nobody visited any more. Youkai viewed that shrine as a good keystone for the barrier surrounding Gensoukyou, due to its location, and revived it, beginning a new series of shrine maidens entirely; the first Hakurei shrine maiden was, of course, the first since that revival. The god in there didn't gain anything from this, of course; there's no reason for the youkai to allow it to, and in fact it would be quite inconvenient if people knew the shrine's blessing was really youkai extermination.

But 14 shrine maidens is quite a lot in 140 years. That's an average tenure of a little more than 9 years per shrine maiden! (Excluding Reimu, it's around 8.5). It was, of course, a fairly dangerous job prior to the spell card rules; we don't know how dangerous, though. Or do we?

Thank you very much, Komachi, for solving the mystery of the shrine.

Aaaand again, more drawings of Renko Goddes AU from @ailingwriter !!

I tried to do a better drawing but it looks so rushed, sorry about that :-(

Also, since some weeks I've been thinking of the possibility of Renko having a similar clothes to the Gensokyo Sage ones.

She may even be the fourth Sage of Gensokyo, but actually, chronologically speaking, maybe she would be the first or second next to Yukari.

Ah, I'm just theorizing for this AU, you can tell I like it a lot, right?

[schizomothh]

i classpected some touhou characters (i probably might make an au idk)

(also sumirekos classpect is mage of space sorry if my writing is really shitty for that one)
