When did she actually get raped?

I'm a bit bored and I figured that, since you're here, I could ask you this: why Reisen?

Spare me no detail, please.

You have to imagine pretty well, since the protagonist in YMK is a fucking douchebag.

Well, when I was first starting to get into Touhou I read Inaba and just overall liked the character. I liked how hard-working she was, how optimistic she seemed even though some of the punishments seemed quite severe. The whole running away from the Moon and seeking asylum in Eientei was also an interesting unexplored story line. Not liking humans that much was also a huge plus. In other words, her personality is my foil.

I started to listen to Touhou music and I found her theme. Within the first few days of finding Lunatic Eyes, I had listened to it for a good solid 7 hours each day. Even simply listening to her theme brought out some of the better emotions that I have experienced in a long time.

Eventually I found Danbooru and was enthralled by the sheer volume of fan art for her. I went and looked to every single picture made at the time while listening to Reisen's theme.

Due to the fascination of it all, I started to have dreams where we hung out and did mundane things, later moving onto a lasting relationship as the time went by.

She just...stuck with me since I found her.

Wow. That sounds wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time to share all that with me. I really do enjoy reading these kinds of things.

Good stuff, man.

I seek to argue that the visual novel Yume Miru Kusuri: A Drug That Makes You Dream (henceforth referred to as YMK) is poorly written with the exception of the route of Mizuki Kirimiya, which is exceptionally well done. Mizuki's route is the only one that provides us with appropriate and believable character development through overcoming a life threatening problem and it's only in Mizuki's route that we are provided with consistent, steady progression of the problem and real insight to the problem that is absent in the other routes.

In the beginning of the visual novel, before entry into any specific route, we meet all three of the heroines. Initially we can see serious problems with Aeka Shiraki and Nekoko. Aeka appears to have a serious bullying problem and we can infer that Nekoko is abusing drugs based on her behavior and delusions. At this point only Mizuki's true problem in unclear. This is something that the writer took great care in slowly unraveling.

Soon we see Mizuki acting rebellious, but the nature and magnitude of the problem remain uncertain. Over the course of the route her behavior becomes more and more out of control, and even dangerous. Starting with simple acts such as smoking, it leads to a life threatening situation in a trip to Hong Kong, with steady progression in between. We are given actual insight to why she has these problems with unique issues such as not being able to see a future in living to the next day. We find that the protagonist and Mizuki learn to rely on each other and the ending resolves Mizuki's issues of not being able to see a future.

Do you have a similar story for Aya?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7426685
-Continued from the last post-

In contrast the routes of Aeka and Nekoko fail to give us real consistent progression of the problem. We see the problem reach a climax, but there is something left to be desired in between. We are hardly given any insight as to why they have these problems. Aeka has a simple bullying problem and Nekoko has a simple drug problem. There is room for analysis of the characters and what they're going through but this is, for the most part, unavailable. Though they have satisfying endings, they don't feel as natural as Mizuki's.

Overall I believe that only Mizuki's route is well written and clearly has far more effort put into the writing with insight to a unique look at the problems of a high school girl. I believe that the character development stands out as very consistent much more appropriate than the other routes had.

No one's ever asked before. I'm touched, really.

It's not a very good one, really. It all happened last year on the night before Valentine's Day when Arc made a dumb post about Aya regurgitating chocolate into your mouth, like a bird feeds its chicks. For some reason, I thought that was incredibly romantic. I obsessed about it all night and, like the Partridge Family song goes, I woke up in love that morning.

What do I love about her? Well, for starters she's absolutely beautiful and not just in fanart... I mean, I really like her character portrait in PoFV and StB. Yes, her hair, her eyes, her wings, her outfit are all wonderful. I love her hard work and dedication, I love her approach to her job, I love her "down-to-earth working girl" thing she has going on, I love her smile... man, I really love that smile.

I love her. I really, really do.

I thought she was roughed up a lot, until the end, when they actually do get their fucking asses kicked by the Main Character who flips out with the realness.

Rather than another YMK thread, this should turn into a thread where we detail what made us attracted to our waifus.

What does it mean, exactly, to have a "waifu?"

There's a few characters that pop up in my idle fantasies and daydreams more often then others; when I sit around and imagine actually having a relationship instead of being the worthless slug I am, but that's it. I don't have shrines or shit in my room or anything.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7430148
Drats, I even knew this question was coming and tried to prepare, and I still have nothing.

I like the determination to move past problems mixed with vulnerability and a need for someone to lean on. The willingness to stand up for someone else even when afraid to stand up for herself.

And more superficially I always like a nice quiet/innocent type.

Actually, I could probably write a longer list of qualities I dislike about her, but some how they end up making me like her more anyway.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7430192

I guess I could say I'm still looking. A lot of ladies I found were great and amazing and all those sorts of things, but I wasn't sure I was ready yet. I'm still not sure if I am.

A wise man once told me; "love is insanity, because we love people because of their flaws, not in spite of them."

He was right about that, yeah.

>>7430217

It's not something one really thinks much about, admittedly. It took me a while to dig all that I typed out of my head.

It's important to remember that sometimes you don't need a reason to fall in love with someone... it just sort of happens. You can spend hours trying to justify it but it just is what it is.

By the way, do you know when her birthday is? I don't remember if it's mentioned in the game but it should have been on ruf's page for it... but since ruf went out of business... well... you know.

Do you celebrate any special occasions with her? If so, how? How long has it been since you took the plunge?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7430260
I don't know her birthday, and that bugs me a lot. I think I might know but I'm not sure, the internet is failing me here.

More than a year, less than two? It's not something I can put a date on, I probably didn't reach the conclusion that I liked her until months after going through YMK, a kind of gradual realization.

Special occasions...funny story, this year I was bedridden with a terrible flu on Valentines Day (and a few days proceeding it) so I had someone else go pick something up for her. I think it caused a bit of an awkward situation for them but I don't really get bothered by those sorts of things.

Also, since I'm in a sharing mood, my nightstand:

[Shameimaru Aya is my girlfriend !3y3mjHUKjI No.]

>>7430316

I still think that you framing that was a really nice touch.

I did my own bit of searching and it looks like she doesn't have an actual birthday... they have databases for this sort of thing, believe it or not. I suggest you use the date her game came out as her birthday, the 22nd of December. How does that sound?

By the way, what's your favorite BGM track from YMK?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7430358
I actually have two, I think last time I showed you the picture that was on top of my TV, although after I moved it got put on top of my computer.

My favorite track... Heretics and Dreamers, and the opening... To the World of Dreams. The CD also has system voices for all the characters.

[Shameimaru Aya is my girlfriend !3y3mjHUKjI No.]

>>7430426

Yes, you're right. The first one you showed me was the one with her in the candy shop (was it?). Having two just makes me even more impressed. That's dedication, man. So, how about the 22nd of December? Is it not authentic enough, maybe?

My favorites tracks were "Girls Are Made of Frosting Cake" and "Where Is The Fairyland?", by the way.

I forgot something important. Did you get the job? Did you, huh? Did you?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7430459
I think the 22nd of December is pretty good as a stand in date.

And I don't think I got that job. But it's only one job, I will apply for 20-30 next week maybe and find some part time place to work until I can find a career type of job.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

This is kinda making me wish I knew when Youmu's birthday was.

Well, this and that one doujin.

It's brilliant! Thank you very much, man.

You're from Michigan, aren't you? Do you follow any sports? I see you post occasionally in those Barkley threads so I thought I'd ask.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7430636
Nah, I went to most football games freshman year but that got kinda depressing and I kept forgetting to buy season tickets. Not really a big sports fan outside of that. I guess I have a sorta passing interest in college football if nothing else, though really I don't even remember if Michigan managed to pull off a bowl appearance this year. Probably not, I guess.

[Shameimaru Aya is my girlfriend !3y3mjHUKjI No.]

>>7430655

They did. They were awful.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7430669
Ah yeah, that would probably be why I don't remember it. Repressed memories and all that...

[Shameimaru Aya is my girlfriend !3y3mjHUKjI No.]

>>7430679

You're fortunate that you didn't have to live through 0-16 like I did.

Anyway, back on topic... what's the story with you and Youmu, eh? Tell me all about it.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7430694
Oh, I guess there's not really a moment of epiphany like you had or anything like that. I pretty much just started saving way more Youmu pictures than any other Touhou way back when I started to save Touhou pictures, and realized that there probably was a reason for that.

I do love how she's got this sort of dual nature, in more ways than just the obvious. She's strong and serious, but she can be really... I don't know if naive is the way to put it, but you get the idea. She's more than capable of cutting down anything for Lady Yuyuko, but is kind and soft when such things aren't required. I find that one especially intriguing, how there's almost as many pictures of Youmu being badass with flashing red eyes as her being cute and soft, and I still haven't figured out which kind I like more.

And I also seem to have a thing for swordswomen in green or teal in general, though of course none of the others (there's a surprising number of them, at that) can really compare.

[Shameimaru Aya is my girlfriend !3y3mjHUKjI No.]

>>7430739

I enjoyed reading that very much. Thank you for sharing your feelings. Youmu certainly is a special girl.

Do you do anything with her for special occasions?

It's not wrong if you don't or anything, just wondering.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7430761
I've done the whole sharing a drink or food on Christmas and Valentine's thing, and I have a wonderful fumofumo which I hug from time to time. I suppose that counts?

[Shameimaru Aya is my girlfriend !3y3mjHUKjI No.]

>>7430772

If you think it does that's all that matters. We each have our own ways of expressing our love towards our special ladies.

By the way, what part of Michigan are you from?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7430787
Aww, I like that.

Well, I'm not exactly from Michigan since I'm just going to school here (and hoo boy, dat out of state tuition), but it's U of M, main campus.

[Shameimaru Aya is my girlfriend !3y3mjHUKjI No.]

>>7430806

I see, I see. I'm from Detroit, myself. Born and raised. I don't live there, or even in Michigan, anymore but I left a big piece of my heart there.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7430816
I can see why, it's a great place. I must say I still prefer Tennessee a bit, for mountains (well, hills, really) and home, but Michigan is giving it a pretty good run for its money.

[Shameimaru Aya is my girlfriend !3y3mjHUKjI No.]

>>7430829

So you're from Tennessee? I've never been there but I've heard nice things.

Let me know if you ever get into pro ball, I don't mind the Titans.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7430836
Nah, not pro, but my family was pretty big into the Vols around the time they won the championship (though really, who wouldn't?)
I also went to a few women's basketball games, since they stomp most other teams around ludicrously easily.

[Shameimaru Aya is my girlfriend !3y3mjHUKjI No.]

>>7430848

Yeah, /jp/ isn't the best place to find people who share these particular interests. I still had fun talking to you, though. It was nice getting to know you more.

At any rate, it's getting pretty late. Catch you later, man.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7430874
Yeah, you too.
