-She's a parasite

-She's my muse

>>15602029
You're the parasite, filthy neet.

BEEP BOOP I AM RAN

>>15602029
nice meme

>>15602029
Solid meme /b/ro!

>>15602047
>>15602125
Kudasai leave /jp/

-She's a good girl.

Ran is a good mommy.

>>15602005
Op you forgot to add she's the sunny side of 1000 by at least 101 years going by tail number

>>15602005
Ran Facts:

>-She's cute!
She is a tool. and Yukari beat the shit out of her.
>-She's fluffy!
The fox is,
-She's hardworking!
no, Ran is a dork who spend her time doing math than taking care of chen.
>-She's technically not a fox...
>-...but she might as well be!
only if you're trivial.

>>15603485
It takes 800 years to amass nine tails, not 1000.

>>15603490
The only persons who would note the difference are being trivial, that is correct.

>>15602029

No wonder /jp/ likes her so much.

>>15603517
Wrong, You mean wouldn't

>>15603645
So, everyone in Gensokyo?

>>15603517
"sunny side of" means 'less than' in this context; and do the math okay.

>>15603674
Gensokyo in your head canon, yes

>>15603681
That still puts one around 900 years.

>>15603683
Imply all you like, that won't change how everyone in Gensokyo treats Ran like a fox.

>>15603490
>>15603645
So ZUN is trivial?

>>15603885
Yeah.

If Ran was my mom, things would be different around here.

Ran is a shit m8
a big one
a grat one

>>15603381
poast the one with Chen playing with her ears.

>>15605355

I want to be mofu mofu'd and ara ara'd relentlessly by Ran!

5 cute facts about Ran:

- She's a girl!
- She's a shikigami!
- I love her!
- Ran!

Do your best, Ran-sama!

>>15606537

>>15607503

>>15607503
Now draw in the part where Ran gets re-installed onto a new hapless kitsune as she begs for mercy.

>>15607737
Just gonna keep throwing around that fanfiction, huh?

How does Ran's clothes work? Is there a big hole on her clothes above her butt to fit all her tails through?

>>15608532
Most likely.
We can't really see it, but there's probably a large gap hah in the back that can be tied together.

>>15607769
Calling what ZUN wrote fanfiction isn't going to make it any less canon.

>>15608609
Feel free to point out where ZUN said the fox was upset with the situation.

>>15608632
I thought you were implying that Ran essentially being software was fanfiction. My B

>>15608532
>>15608549

Thousands of Rans! Get yours today!

>>15608659
Believe me, I have no delusions about her nature as a shikigami.

>>15608549
>>15608668
I want to sneak my hand through that gap and grab her bare butt cheek

>>15605897

Adorable.

Seeing Ran's dress under the tabard!

>>15607503
DELET

Maybe life in the kitsune village ain't what it's cracked up to be.

>>15608993
How lewd.
No wonder she wears it all the time.

>>15608950
You'll be caught and trapped by her tails for good... There's no escape after that anon!

>>15611322
I'm sure she'd let you out eventually. Catch-and-release is more fun in the long run.
Besides, it's hard to get things done if you're hauling around a person like that.

>>15611346
Well sure but there will still be nothing you could do about it yourself, it's really up to her how long she'll keep you

>>15606229
That's just 4

>>15611711
Terajin is pretty great.

wasnt confirmed that she and chen were just mindless puppets controled by Yukari?

>>15611792
The only thing you could call new info was that Ran and Chen are indeed distinct from the animal youkai.
They aren't mindless puppets; Chen's off messing around with cats most of the time, and Ran has disobeyed before. However, as servant spirits, they have to carry out orders given to them (which is where shikigami excel.)

>>15611828
>Chen's off messing around with cats
Sure she's not messing around with Cirno?

>>15608632
If saying the fox is upset with the situation is fanfiction, then saying the fox is not upset with the situation is also finfiction you know? And which seems more likely considering both the situation itself, and the fact that "nasty" yukari yakumo is the one who presumably did the installing?

>>15611865
>And which seems more likely considering both the situation itself
Well, take a look at the other shikigami, Chen.
In this case, the original youkai comes out sometimes and does nothing different. No difference in behavior.
Thus, there is a case that indicates that the animal youkai do not care, and no evidence to the contrary.

>>15611865

>>15611845
Perhaps.
She probably knows Momiji though; there's a line somewhere that says she spends a lot of her time on Youkai Mountain.

>>15611865
>If saying the fox is upset with the situation is fanfiction, then saying the fox is not upset with the situation is also finfiction you know?
Schrodinger's shikigami!

>>15611873
This implies a lot of things, is Chen aware of the secondary partition in her mind?

>>15602037
You made me think of this and now it's ten times as funny.

>>15611924
Chen knows she's a shikigami, so she probably knows what that implies. Probably better than we do, anyway.

On an unrelated note, I never noticed this little comedic bit before:
>Aya: Look, your master is much, much stronger than you, right?
>Chen: Yeah.
>Aya: Your master doesn't have to use catnip on you to control you, right?
>Chen: She does it sometimes.

>>15611958
Is that the cat or Chen speaking?

>>15612033
Interestingly, the article actually goes out of its way to state that it's Chen.
>橙さん（式神）

>>15612054
Boy, that picture gives Chen enormous ears.

>>15612059
Clipped her nails, too.

>>15611958
Ran confirmed cat lover.

>>15611924
Chen knows she's a shikigami, as would the cat if it comes out when Chen gets splashed with water. But that doesn't really matter for the argument that the original youkai is being tortured or whatever. If the cat doesn't care or have some crazy existential crisis when it comes out then there's no reason to believe any sort of stupid mindbreak eternal torture insanity bullshit goes on with this process.

>>15612154
That does bring up an interesting point: What does it take to break the Fox from Ran? We know that for Chen, only water is needed, drawing from the parallel that shikigami are given with computers. Would water work on Ran?

>>15612268
>for Chen, only water is needed, drawing from the parallel that shikigami are given with computers
Uh, I'm pretty sure he's doing that since she's a bakeneko. Cats hate water. ZUN mentions that she is weak to water even in her "original state."
As for Ran, ZUN never mentions anything about a weakness.
This is all probably due to the fact that Ran is an exceptionally strong shikigami, while Chen is pretty weak.

>>15612268
Dick, kitsunes are seductresses and wives.

>>15612324
That's not a weakness that's a goal.

>>15612328
Weakness to Ran, not the fox.

>>15612405
Ran does have the personality of a fox, though.

>>15611322
I'd happily live in there forever

I posted this in the last thread, but this info only makes me love this doujinshi more and it's officially my head cannon now.

>>15613167
Some weapons-grade cute in that.

>>15602029
funny how it comes from an useless person like yourself

>>15607503
I wasn't prepared...

>>15608532
somethin like this

RAN

Holy Moly!

>>15616121
I love how Space Jin draws Ran.
Not enough people give her sharp teeth.

>>15615500
Megami Tensei is fun, and teaches you about the existence of many minor deities.

Ran's hungry! What will you feed her?

>>15619275
my love

>>15619275
My semen soup special. With extra protein.

>>15619275

Is ran a open OS or closed?

>>15620217
Ran's feet!

it's very cute that Ran is shy about you seeing her in her swimsuit, when you've already seen her butt naked before!

>>15622307
Upload those nerd

>>15622307
Can I have a zip pls?

>>15622367
Swimsuit Ran is wonderful.

>>15602005
>she's not a fox

Not only that, the "cute" body isn't even hers. The body is not Ran.
We don't know how real Ran looks like, if it has form at all.

I like how you purposefully missed that one, though.

>>15625496
It's too late, anon. We already don't care.

>>15625496
Oh, but that IS Ran now.

>>15625510
Oops my bad.
I keep mistaking /c/ as /jp/ but they are really indistinguishable these days.

She used to be in my top 3 but now she's not even in my top 20!

>>15625693
Ah, the plight of the secondary.

>>15625693
I'm not sure if I can even build a top 20. I love so many characters, I would have to do it on a per game basis.

>>15625744
True secondary should ignore canon and go on with the delusion.

>>15625775
That appears to be more difficult for them when it gets laid out in no uncertain terms.
They can't exactly Black Tewi out of it.

>>15625756

>>15625693
Why?

>>15626096
Well the last time she was in my top 3 was about 5 years ago when I was still getting into Touhou. She first started dropping when I discovered new characters I liked more, then she dropped a bit more once I started getting into the official works and found out she wasn't really what I thought she was. Then middle to late last year she dropped out of my top 20 once I finally got sick and tired of how she's depicted in fanon, which seems to only range from boring moeblob fox girl to mommy to slut (though this last one especially applies to all Touhous). I don't even remember what my ideal Ran was anymore. Honestly the "parasite" stuff doesn't bother me too much.

>>15626538
Tastes change I suppose.
Ran's always remained consistently high for me, but I never really had any big misconceptions about her. My top Touhous list is rather small, though. Most of them don't seem that appealing to me.

But if you're gonna let fanon get to you, I don't know what to say. I always thought Ran got off pretty lightly there anyway, since the big memes died off.

>>15625496
Shikigami almost certainly don't have physical bodies, if that's what you're asking about. They're "Software" "Fantasy turned into a tool through a pattern" etc. etc.

>>15626538
Utsuho will always be my 2nd favorite no matter how much people mistreated her.
Shame on you, anon.

>>15626704
Traditionally, shikigami are spirits that are imperceptible unless summoned to an object or being.

>>15626619
>>15626728
Unfortunately I'm easily influenced. But at the time I got fed up she was already on the way out. I suppose my tastes did change too, but surprisingly my #1 hasn't ever changed since I got into the official works.

>>15630142
I kinda wonder how that would work out.

>>15621566
She is SO open as Sanae

if you know what I mean

>>15631432
taken that Chen has matured or still has her childish personality?

>>15632436
The former.

>>15632636
if she were mature I bet she could take very good care of Ran, since she wants to be just like her master.

Ran facts - she has big soft mommy titties!

>>15635350

>ripens and ferments
Man that is just perverted

>>15602005
-Her hat is really stupid

>>15603485

Actually, we don't know how old she is; she might be much younger than her body would suggest.

Heck, if Yukari is in fact Maribel in the future from the past, she might not technically even be older than a human!

What is wrong with Ran?

>>15639017
You're really stupid

>>15639017
Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

I wanna impregnate RAN!
