No,
Its fucking Disney. One announcement and the entire world sucks their dick for no reason. They even pay hundreds for parking.
No chance with what they can do

What they do lack is soul. Thats where touhou succeeds and will last longer in the hearts and minds of everyone rather than iconic who's who have no emotion or personality other than "oh shit, this fag can run at the speed of light" or "holy shit! this fag can use his fist to punch the fucking ground and cause earthquakes!"

Cirno [Chi Ru No] is known worldwide, but i think flan succeeds her with her little "McDonald Insanity"
Even if that doesnt get direct notice or influence, it does leave a lasting affect.
Even if it is lost to time, it will be remembered vaguely as compared to a corparate character shoved into peoples faces every 3 years minimum.
Without that exposure, they'd be irrelevant. However, there are gems that manage to last in retro communities.

>>18428415
Oh yeah, I forgot about them. Although... There are probably more Touhou secondaries than LoZ ones, so they might not be on par.

>>18428513
wut?

>>18428543
Flan isn't a fairy.

Tooth fairy.

>>18428660
Does that exist outside of USA?

>>18428700
That's a thing pretty much all over the world.

I have yet to see this tooth fairy

>>18428731
I've never seen it in Asian media. Is "all over the world" really USA, UK, and Australia?

>>18428783
I saw it once. It looked like my dad.

>>18428731
No it isn't

Puck

>>18433743
Puck isn't a fairy, I don't think.

>>18433758
If he's talking about Puck from dota then that's like a dragon fairy.

>>18434042
He's probably talking about Puck from Berserk, who is indeed not a fairy, but everything about him and other fairies is pretty much 100% fairy.

He's an "elf" in name only.

>>18434205
Man i can't believe i was so dumb. I have no joke read all of berserk been a fan for the better half of a decade and for some reason that never crossed my mind. Yeah i still have no idea why he was not just called a fairy but i guess he's a elf.

Cirno is my daughterwife!

>>18428947
It's probably a European thing, so yeah.

>>18439062
In spain we have a fucking mouse instead of the tooth fairy. So no. The tooth fairy is only from english-speaking places. She just became more popular because american media is everywhere, but that doesn't mean is even remotely practiced.

>>18450356
It's a common thing here in Sweden, and the rest of Northern Europe.

>>18450356
Argentina too. Fairly sure the rest of South America has the mouse as well.

>>18450356
Only a few people know her here in Japan.
How about in the rest of Eastern Asia?

>>18450356
Really though, how many Americans think about the tooth fairy? I remember that it's a thing once every few years. Does that really count as "well known"?

>>18429143
is your dad a fairy? does he have a futa dick?

>>18459518
the mouse or the fairy?

>>18450356
in France it's also the mouse that pick up your teeth
they probably have the same origin

>>18459518
>>18460640
What no I meant the tooth fairy, it's all over Northern Europe. Never heard of some dum mouse.

>>18467639
Ah sorry I was high as shit when I wrote that. The tooth fairy is really common all over Northern Europe, never heard of a mouse.

Children at the age where they're losing their baby teeth?

>>18450356
>spaniards get visited by a Nazrin for their teeth

Eek eek

Älvor is scandinavian folklore so it's not surprising.
We have a fairy queen too.

What are the implications of cirno drawing her power from the gap between seasons?

>>18428399
She's probably the most well-known Touhou character at the moment, but I think she's still outranked by Maleficent in terms of people knowing who she is.

>>18428543
McRoll is outdated and rarely parotted outside of Japan in this day and age while Cirno is one of the first characters most current 2hu newfags get to play with the release of HSFS to steam and a new arrangement of Cirno's Perfect Math Class was made a few months later.

Cirno never wins popularity polls in Japan, but she's certainly the most popular 2hu in Eastern Europe and tries with Marisa in the United States, likely because they're more relatable characters than Reimu or the more exotic choices.

>>18487575
Who was that again?

>>18434042
Nobody has ever played DOTA in the history of mankind, fuck off with your hipster game.

>>18433743
Puck is a pretty forgettable character even if they're semi-common in play. The faerie dragon from Hearthstone and HoTS comes to my mind before they do.

I'm surprised there was so much discussion on the tooth fairy. I expected finns and swedes to come and talk about their fairies or something.

Also I don't think Puck from the actual play is that famous, even though the name sort of is.

>>18494201
The witch in sleeping beauty I think.

>>18487575
Isn't her origin story only really elaborated in that movie? Most people would consider that character by the part where she's the evil witch and nothing more.

>>18450356
>>18460640
In Brazil we have the tooth fairy.

Whoa, is that real?

What if the reason that the Ludwig II seemed so eccentric was because he was in fact interacting with fairies on a regular basis? His obsession with building fairy-tale places was an attempt at saving them from the gradual loss of magic and belief that would later make Gensokyo required.
