There's no explanation in general so just use your headcanon.

That said Reimu has the innate power to float/fly. The best way to describe it, probably, is that she floats away from gravity's hold.

>>20733551
Her queefs propel her through the air.

>>20733551
Nothing like that is stated in canon so it's no use thinking about it.

Aristotolean impetus. They will themselves to move, and they move.
Fuck Newton and his bitch laws.

By altering the metric of the local space time. Reimu is in free fall moving in a geodesic, it's everything that's stationary in Gensokyo that's actually "moving".

>>20733551
Reimu doesn't actually fly, she's just suspended in the air by a bunch of very thin cables controlled by Yukari.

>>20733551
Minovsky particles

>>20733551
They don't fly, it's just an illusion created by Gensokyo's non-euclidian structure. They are in fact walking on the ground.

>>20733943
>>20733561
I'm accepting these.

>>20733551
>Reimu
>fly

They're not actually flying and Touhou is just a computer game.

>>20733551
More important question: why do all of them except Mokou wear skirts in a world where everyone can fly. Why is Mokou the only one with decency?

>>20734356
Wriggle also has decency

>>20734356
2hus get off from someone looking up their pantsu

dunno what kind of thrust she produces but teh thrusts i produce while J-J-JAMING IT IN produce enough energy for her to start levitating

>>20734356
2hus sure are lewd creatures.

>>20733551
Shinto magic.

Bloomers. The honest thought that men can peek with no shame gives magical powers.

>>20733551
2hus fly using the same telekinesis they use to make their danmaku fly in weird curves. They attempt to move Gensokyo, and by Newton's Third Law, move themselves.

Someguy did the math behind it.

>>20735532
Quality post. Deserves bump.

>>20733551
>How do 2hus fly?
Magic.

>>20733551
I'm the one producing thrust

>>20735532
>9% of Reimu’s skeletal structure is made of iron.
I fucking laughed.

There is an art, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Pick a nice day and try it. All it requires is simply the ability to throw yourself forward with all your weight, and the willingness not to mind that it's going to hurt.

That is, it's going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. Most people fall to miss the ground, and if they are really trying properly, the likelihood is that they will fail to miss it fairly hard. Clearly, it is the second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties.

One problem is that you have to miss the ground accidentally. It's no good deliberately intending to miss the ground because you won't. You have to have you attention suddenly distracted by something else when you're halfway there, so that you are no longer thinking about falling, or about the ground, or about how much it's going to hurt if you fail to miss it.

It is notoriously difficult to prize your attention away from these three things during the split second you have at your disposal. Hence most people's failure, and their eventual disillusionment with this exhilarating and spectacular sport. If, however, you are lucky enough to have your attention momentarily distracted at the crucial moment by, say, a gorgeous pair of legs (tentacles, pseudopodia, according to phyllum and/or personal inclination) or a bomb going off in your vicinity, or by suddenly spotting an extremely rare species of beetle crawling along a nearby twig, then in your astonishment you will miss the ground completely and remain bobbing just a few inches above it in what might seem to be a slightly foolish manner. This is a moment for superb and delicate concentration.

Bob and float, bob and float. Ignore all considerations of your own weight and simply let yourself waft higher. Do not listen to what anybody says to you at this point because they are unlikely to say anything helpful. They are most likely to say something along the lines of "Good God, you can't possibly be flying!"

It is vitally important not to believe them or they will suddenly be right.

they wear bloomers dumb secondaries

This shit actually reads like a scientific paper and is fucking glorious.

>>20742576
Reminder that this retarded westacuck copied his "idea" from the already established Japanese "Journal of Touhou Discussion". Dumb westashitters never learn.

>>20742616
What the hell is a westa, and where can I find the volumes of Journal of Touhou Discussion?

>>20733561
farts*

>>20733551
When you wish upon a star makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires will come to you. And that is how.

>>20733561
Reimu is impressive.

>>20742616
Did he actually copy+paste ideas from this, or did he just happen to make another scientific journal on Touhou?
If he outright copied, then yeah fuck that guy. But if it's his own work then I don't see a problem with it.

>>20744460
*sniff*

>>20733551
Magic, DUH?

>>20733551
I think it's just dash thrust.
You can fly in Gensokyo if you believe.

>>20757759
lol Marisa

>>20733551
Brap?

>>20765429
There's actually a Finnish capeshit comic about a superhero who's power is brapping. He uses it to provide thrust for flight and fight bad guys.

>>20768395
Stay classy Finland.

>>20768395
I want to say this image is Youmu, but I know she doesn't wear thigh-highs

>>20772102
Youmu does come to mind when discussing braps.

>>20768395
reminded me of this.

>>20733587
You know nothing, Gengetsu.

>>20781278
Just because your sister is smaller and flatter than you doesn't give you the right to bully her, Mugetsu.

>>20757506
What is the smell Reimu chan

its non canon that all touhous fly. you just think they do because of how the games work. or because you are a secondary.

poster above me is a retarded secondary
pmiss basically says everyone can fly
plus, danmaku battles wouldn't work at all if there were touhou characters that couldn't fly
the only and i mean ONLY exception to this is wakasagihime, and but even then it's implied that she can be outside of water as her ability states that she gets stronger in water
tl;dr literally all touhous know magic, that's how they can make danmaku. flying is obviously a basic magic skill that most if not every danmaku player knows.
