I envy you guys with touhou waifus. When you fall in love with a girl from an anime, manga or galge, you usually have to come to terms with the fact that the work will end eventually. The author just won't have any more story to tell, and will move on, and the amount of fanworks produced will slowly decrease, as it becomes less and less relevant and people find new franchises to be interested in.

Touhou doesn't really have this problem at all. The secondaries are too strong. If ZUN were to die tomorrow and we never got another Touhou game, doujin works would continue on as normal for many years, the only noticeable effect being that we're not getting any fresh touhous.

Not to mention the volume of it. Every day we get hundreds of new fanarts, and every year we get thousands of new doujin works. Assuming the character you like isn't really obscure, there's always something new to collect of her all the time. Even when it comes to dakimakuras, there are more to pick from for a popular touhou than for a character from a "normal franchise". I guess figures are the one exception.

Pic related, in the end, I've concluded that she's my favorite touhou, and I think she would be nice to have as a waifu. But you don't really choose who you fall in love with.
