There are cliches that I don't get why they're cliches, particularly older ones.

A big one that bothers me is "impossible tasks". I don't get why that's such a recurring theme in mythology. Every country or culture seems to have at least one story where there's a big list of things a hero must do, but they're stupid things like "Find me an ox with wings!" or "Slay a dragon with only your teeth!"
Kaguya Hime, Scarborough Fair, Culhwch and Olwen, stories like that.

I don't get it. I can kind of get "man who catch fly with chopstick can accomplish anything" but just dishing out requests that are actually impossible isn't a challenge or suspenseful, regardless of whether the hero actually completes it.

I prefer princesses for my fanon NEET fix.

I love myself, so of course I love Kaguya.

I actually have asthma ;_;

This is probably closer though, at least fanon wise.
I'm not an immortal moon princess of PURE BEAUTY.

I think you're missing the point. I'm not saying they're two centuries old, I'm saying that they live and exercise functions as if they were living back then. Which, given Gensokyo's isolation and technology, I feel is an appropriate comparison.
