[Touhou] i generally don't go here much. i like the pretty colors enough, and the cast makes for some wild skits and fan content, but i couldn't really engage with 17, Miko's Horse aside. Animal mafia doesn't do much for me until 17.5 closes us out.

Then I took a look at the cast list for 18.

Mike was just the tip of the goddamn iceberg.

From the top, we have-

1: LGBT Cat Icon who doesn't take shit from anyone.

2: The Spokeswoman for a whole new branch of Kappa who helped build the cable car

3: the demo's capstone, the owner of a gambling den at a heretofore unexplored part of Youkai Mountain

4: THE FUCKING CREATOR OF THE HAKUREI YING-YANG ORBS. SHE READS YOUR MIND WITH RAINBOW MAGATAMAS POWERED BY GAAAAAAAAY

DISCLAIMER: Magatamas have not been revealed to be powered by anything, gay or cis

5: BOSS OF THE CROW TENGU. THE DAITENGU HERSELF! THE SHEER AMOUNT OF FANFIC THAT MAKE REFERENCE TO THIS WOMAN is not that much but she is often a prominent figure when the tengu get involved.

I AWAIT YOUR RETCONS, WRITERS

6: The most vile of villains, enemy of millenials and the 99% at large. a goddess of the market, FUCKING CAPITALISM ITSELF.

Extra: Fuck it, a Centipede that eats Dragon Orbs, whatever the fuck those are! sure, why not!

this cast? brilliant

this plot? fantastic!
