Hello, /jp/. During the last few years, Touhou has been obsessing me, continuosly coming up in my brain and obfuscating my thoughts on any given day. What should I do? I am approaching my 30s, my life is just work, home, Touhou. I don't have much of a social life, I have never had a girlfriend either, but I don't think about it because my favorite Touhou girl, Hina, distracts me enough, I think I am in love with her. Is anybody else in my situation?

Yeah same. Honestly I might have autism since I'm just obsessed with the world, characters, fan content, music, etc. And it's been more than a decade of being into it. The obsession comes and goes though. Some years I barely think about it and others I am a full blown obsessed fanatic.
I started drawing 2hus in the past few years. That way at least some of that obsession would translate into a skill instead of just consumption of content. I have been pretty satisfied with it. That way I can at least work towards something instead of just consuming and seeing the years go by. I think you can find a creative outlet related to 2hu that suits your tastes and start creating content. It's a good way to pass the time and you won't feel like you are wasting it
>Hina
Nice taste. Pretty, frilly and nice. Would make a nice wife material.
Personally I like trashy 2hus like Suika and Joon so I can't relate, if they were real they would ruin my life.

Now imagine if you get into touhou in its prime in like 2007-09 when all the stuff was starting to get translated and imported to the overseas

I got into Touhou around 2007, and I don't miss that time at all. Waiting forever for everything, translations few and far between, and most of the porn was yuri/futa. It wasn't a swell time.

Every day she goes partying and every night she arrives really late reeking of alcohol, tobacco and stuff
Solves all her problems with alcohol and makes me drink
Despite her being nice she's still an oni and violence is their preferred way of solving things

She has a good heart and I like her quite a lot but she's too much of a party hoe to be wife material.

Ever dreamt of helping her become a good housewife yourself? I like imagining characters with strong personalities calming down later in life.

I'm currently living a double life between being a complete normie and a complete touhou autist. I'm slowly increasing my involvement in both (like going to the gym yet also blowing a bunch of money on fumos) and watching whichever'll break first. Or It'll just stay like this, I'm fine with that, too.

>>43862063
Does being a normie include having irl friends or just activities?

>> No.43862216

Psychic powers do exist and if enough /jp/sies tried I'm sure some of the 2hu world could be manifested in real life.

Well, I've known about Touhou for a long time but I never really got into it deeply until about a month and a half ago. I'm a sucker for world building and elaboration so I love reading about Touhou, the cute girls being an added benefit, of course. I've only ever played EoSD and haven't beat it yet, though I currently play other bullet hell games.
Seeing the cute girls in this series has also seemed to awaken some new emotions within me lately. I've felt love all my life but never on the level that I have now. I had girls approach me in high school but I never did anything with it and since I graduated I've just been an isolated NEET with no friends, which I've been fine with 99% of the time. Touhou has given me feelings of yearning, and there's more determination in me now to improve myself than there has been in a very long time.

Seems like we are in a similar place, I got into Touhou around, 2016 though as much as I hate to admit it I didn't properly immerse myself until 2019.
Until then I had just played some of the games and really enjoyed the music and art.

I simply can't relate with normal people, I'm simply bored of everything they enjoy talking about
I'm not even an autistic hikki or anything because I have no problem going outside etc, but I find every conversation people have to be boring
It's always about some mainstrea media, sex jokes or some random sport activity

I prefer fellow unnormals as well, but when I shut off my brain I can still find myself enjoying being with normies. I guess I always get enjoyment from social activities and mutual acts together, regardless of if how deeply I like that person. I did use to be like you, though.

currently (failing) university. 2hus are one of my only forms of escapism. Like >>43885154 said, normal people are alien to me. I can communicate in forms of what I need and what I want, but anything beyond that I just can't. I emailed some /jp/ anon about a half year ago that also lives where I live, but since then I forgot that email's password

Not any of those anons. Thank god I didn't have much trouble with university. My job is the only thing tying me to normalcy right now. The guys at my work are my age but they all like to party and go clubbing and shit so I don't have much in common with them other than we spend 8 hours everyday working at the same thing. In uni I was friends with the weirdos that played card games and I was way more in tune with their wavelength. I wish card games were not such a fucking big scam run by awful companies because I greatly enjoyed being a card game autist
Uni is where you find all those weirdos who will then retreat to their shells nowhere to be found. If you want friends into more niche things now's the time. They probably won't like exactly the same thing you do but they are going to be equally autistic about something else

Discovering touhou last year has ruined my life so far, or maybe I discovered touhou when my life got ruined, I can't tell which one caused which but now 90% of my daily thoughts are about touhou. One part of me wishes that I never discovered touhou, the other wishes that I discovered It earlier.
I used to have good grades at uni but now I'm barely passing but still not failing thankfully, I'm very afraid that I will become like >>43887464
