Stop bringing Sakuya to a grave yard

Images like this make me feel sad inside.

What an original picture, I have never seen this fresh take on the consequences of Sakuya being a human! Japanese artists sure can come up with some great new ideas!

Are you implying that Shakespeare was a hack because other people had already explored tragic love in fiction?

>>10810163
Yes they do. Thank you for noticing :)

Artists are incapable of drawing younger versions of 2hu characters.

Did they ever changed their clothes in life?

http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1007524
Sakuya is older than she looks. No, she'll always be older than she looks.

>>10810163
Speaks the truth.

>>10810163
99% of pictures posted in /jp/ aren't original, and the one percent that are will be made fun of for being random and dumb.

>>10810219
Whoa, this is sadder than OP's pic dude, don't post such a thing so early in the morning.

>>10810219

>>10810253

Why the fuck did you have to go and do that to me

>>10810219

>>10810112
>>10810219

>>10810112
I just realized you are supposed to look at this from right to left. Boy, do I feel silly!

>>10810186

>>10810219
That doesn't even make sense!

Several IMMORTAL characters die in it!

>>10813746
I do believe that would be Miko's grave.

>>10813687
Even in death, Sanae is still a loose woman.

>>10813768
The red/white one or the Shoutoku legend?

>>10813774
The red/white one.

>>10810219
What the hell did the immortals die from? Mega aids?

>>10810219
Remind me of a doujin which Kaguya and Mokou are the only touhou alive at the end of time.

>>10810219
i'm tearing up ;_;

>>10813687

>>10813687
isnt sanae immortal?

Well this thread has made me sad...

This looks like it'll cheer me right up though!

>>10814503
Totally. I recommend having a bottle of alcohol or two on hand so you can enjoy it even more. And some tissues just in case you have allergies.

>>10814480
nah just immoral

Byakuren has the best song.

I wish she was my mom.

Did Remilia molested Sakuya when she was a kid?

>>10814525

Would you think lewd thoughts of your mom?

>>10814521
Oh snap

>>10814532
N-no way...She's my mom, that would be totally messed up!

On another note, china has a very emotional theme song as well.

My favorite and in my opinion the best themes are:
Byakuren
Yukari
China
Parsee

Why do people draw these images?

They make me feel so bad.

There's this one with Eirin holding a dead Udonge and it just makes me feel dead inside.

>>10814599

Because they want you as sad and empty as they are.

>>10814599
You're just a fag.

God damn it, why does Touhou Project make me feel things like this? Happiness, epicness, excitement, sadness, all that. The games don't have a whole lot of explicit depth. Yet when I listen to the music, I feel those emotions. Same for stories and pictures and whatnot. Makes me love Touhou.

>>10814599
Don't worry, momma Byakuren will cheer you up~

>>10814613
It must take a lot of sadness to make something like that, anon.

I guess it worked.

>>10814616
Thanks anon. <3

>>10814620
Byakuren is really really cute.

I really like Eirin too though.

>>10814630
ara ara~

咲夜 咲夜 会いたいよ~

I really don't get these in Touhou. It's a setting where immortality and long lives are easy as fuck to get your hands on if you really want to and have very few canonical downsides, yet nine out of ten doujins will have them going "waaaah my humanity ;_;" and refusing, as if they were making some deep philosophical point about the human condition. What the fuck does that even mean? The various youkai and magicians and hourai-elixer-drinkers clearly aren't all that inhuman or you wouldn't want to be friends and/or lovers with them in the first place. What the fuck, in concrete terms, are you losing here? Japan just has a boner for these bittersweet mayfly endings, logic be damned. If you're all about humanity, you shouldn't just be accepting that, you should be striving to change it at any cost.

I liked that Meisaku doujin where Sakuya just says "you know what, fuck it, 'I'll lose my humanity' is a stupid, meaningless argument, let's go ask Patchy how to become a youkai tomorrow".

>>10810163
suck it?
>>10810170
also incest, don't forget the incest

>>10814707

>>10813907

A bad end by Doyora...
this was quite ... different

there's also the niconico version with music

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2032528 the first chapter

>>10814707
I just don't get what the big deal is about dying in a place where ghosts fly around freely and happily and you can just fly to the various underworlds whenever you please.

>>10814707
That'd be my first objective is getting my hands on some immortality. I can't really see why everybody is in such a hurry to die, but then again.

>>10814765 makes a good point.

>>10814707
People like writing stories about the human condition. It allows them to imagine that things are deep and meaningful.

>>10814780
The human condition is a coincidence, and people hold the wrong things about it sacred. It's not the mortality, or the morality, or the vitality of us that matters: those are only symbols we use to see parts of us. They have emotional quality because they are what we are going to see when we interpret the world. That symbolic interpretation, the judgment, that's what's special. It's really the only thing.

>>10814792
Pretty deep bro.

>>10814765
Most of those ghosts are formless blobs with no personality and little in the way to do besides floating and possibly haunting someone.

>>10814707
/jp/ pls
no loudness

>>10814841

I'm sure those ghosts retain their personality. They just can't talk. Or do much, for that matter.

>>10810219
I haven't cried that hard in years..

>>10814939
wuss

>>10815515
no bully pls ;_;

>>10814503
I always avoided that, I thought it was just another silly fanon history. Should I watch it with my gun next to me too?

Found this DL:

(near 2 hours long?, damn)


>>10814599
Because melancholy and sorrow are beautiful parts of being human, in a weird, sick, sense.

>>10815515
Quiet, you.

You'd think she would change clothes at least once during her life.

This just in: everyone on /jp/ will die too.

>>10816771
D-don't go there, dude.

>>10816771

No shit Sherlock.

I'm taking you with me

>>10816790
How about me, too? I don't want to die alone.

I'm dying alone.

>>10816916
Who isn't.

#yolomance
Better whip it out before it's too late!

bump bump bump

>>10814503

This was shit and I hate you for making me waste almost 2 hours of my life with it.

My insides ache from that image op

>>10814503
Little Weimu is sad. The saddest. You don't know shit about saddery if you didn't watch little Weimu.

>>10816268
It's a silly fanon story. It's also a very cute heartbreaking fanon story. It begins cute, ends very sad.

Remi can kill maids?

Goddamn Sakuya dying of old age is a played-out bit. Even though its heavily implied she's lived much much longer than she appears to have, giving the idea that we have no idea how long she might live.

>>10810219

...Certainly I can't be the only one that thought that was just kinda, I dunno, stupid?

Like almost everything about it?

Too many artists forget that Youkai are pretty fucking different from humans in a lot of ways, not just physically and mentally but their point of view on things as well. Death doesn't have the same impact to them as it would to humans.

>>10829245
I liked it, probably because I lack the degree in youkai psychology that you have.

>>10829263

Its not psychology its just logic.

Why would a nigh-unkillable unaging monster have the same thoughts on death that a fragile and short-lived human would?

>>10829297
Death may not come quickly or lurk around every corner for youkai, but it will still come one day. It's not something they have to worry about when it's far away, but when that day comes they might act much the same.

>>10829305

I'm talking about how they view death in the day-to-day, perhaps when they see someone die in front of them, or when someone they know dies.

Particularly with the long-lived ones who have done it so many times they're more likely to see it like we see house pets dying.

>>10829305
>It's not something they have to worry about when it's far away
I think long-lived creature have a different time perception, so they probably feel as they are living about the same life as humans.
Why should age matter anyway? No matter how old it is, it is just an miniscule drop in the infinite course of time.

>>10829305
>It's not something they have to worry about when it's far away
I think long-lived creatures have different time perception, so they probably feel as if they are having about the same life span as humans.
Why should age matter anyway? No matter how old it is, it is just a miniscule drop in the infinite course of time.

>>10829314
>like we see house pets dying.

With incredible grief?

rest in piece
