>Is there anything in canon that you like that others might have missed?
I’ve just read Symposium of Post Mysticism for the first time, and in Hina’s profile she’s referred to as Nagashi-bina of the Hidden God. Retroactively that seems like an explicit reference to Okina, which surprised me cause I’ve never seen any connection between those characters ever mentioned.

Nagashi-binas are apparently dolls that girls float down rivers to carry off their own impurities. In Symposium, these dolls reach Hina who takes the bad luck from them. If she’s Okina’s negashi-bina it sort of makes sense for her to be collecting all of Gensokyo’s luck, since Gensokyo seems like Okina’s ‘property’ more or less.

Makes me wonder if Okina created Hina the same way she can create somewhat like Aunn. Makes me wonder if Okina has any plans for all that bad luck or if having someone to collect it is just a standard part of maintenance she set up.

I feel like there’s a lot of directions you could go with this implied connection, I’m surprised it hasn’t been done more often by fans but I guess a lot of people missed it. Or maybe people have done it and I’ve just missed those fanworks.

Less lore related but apparently the kanji for misfortune is 厄 which is maybe what the swirl on her dress references, and why she spins.

Apologize with your mouth.

Because social justice tumblrites with their anti-bullying and acceptance campaigns. If you tell a woman not to sleep with 20 black men you're a racist misogynistic bigot. Bullying is how social norms get reinforced, without them there is no behavioral control.

She's not a youkai.
