I don't think you do.

Canonically, she's alone because people dislike her ability.

Do you go with that, or do you see Satori in a different way?

You can read minds, too?

She would not be able to catch up with my thoughts.

>>2191544
You don't have to go against canon in this case.

I see Satori as a girl shunned by society because of who she is. The fact that she didn't close off her abilities like her sister means that she wasn't willing to let go of a part of herself to be accepted which shows she is both stronger emotionally, and wants to be accepted for who she is.

I imagine many who come here have similar ambitions.

>>2191571
I worded it sort of poorly. There's some people here that see her as a wild, "crazy cat lady" that cares little about how others see her ability, while others see her as a very lonely recluse that can only find comfort with her animals. Do you see her situation in a much darker value, or do you see it in a much more light-hearted manner?

>>2191593
I thought she was disgusted by humans, and preferred the company of animals due to their innocence

Would you?[Y/N]

>>2191610
Was that stated in the game dialogue or something?

>>2191593
I think she cares, or I doubt she would have sought out the company of animals (or kept them around her afterwards). I also don't think she's lonely since she has those around her that care for her, and besides, I did say I feel she just wants to be accepted for who she is. Her pets do this, so she's happy.

>>2191627
Nah in-game humans and youkai are afraid of her, and animals like her because she's like Dr. Doolittle

CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIN

>>2191632
I actually see it being that the animals sought HER out, instead of the other way around. I personally get the impression that she could be all by herself for all she cares, just because of how she presents herself and talks. It might be a bit too quiet without anyone in the palace, but I see her as a nutcase anyways.

>>2191638
>because she's like Dr. Doolittle

>>2191638
> Dr. Doolittle

She's a black man?

>>2191662
No, if she didn't want the animals around, she would have shunned them away. I guess you could suggest that she's indifferent about Rin and Utsuho, but then why is she apparently on good terms with them? Plus, if she really didn't care about being alone, why try to help her sister open up more? Just because she loves her? I think it's more likely that she also wants her sister to relate to herself who chose not to shut away her powers.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD CHARLES

READ SICP
ACHIEVE SATORI

>>2191611
I can't read moon.

>>2191686
I didn't say that she didn't want the animals around. I'm just suggesting that I think she could do well by herself, and isn't under much emotional pressure from being shunned by society. Of course, she'll become acquainted with the pets eventually.

>Plus, if she really didn't care about being alone, why try to help her sister open up more? Just because she loves her?
Crazy people can feel love too.

>I think it's more likely that she also wants her sister to relate to herself who chose not to shut away her powers.
I see that as part of it as well.

>>2191669
satori doesn't have to ask, damnit

>>2191703
>I'm just suggesting that I think she could do well by herself, and isn't under much emotional pressure from being shunned by society.

I think that's only because she has her pets and Koishi. Otherwise, she would want to seek out at least someone to be with.

>>2191710
Notice that she's covering her third eye. The original text was probably "Do you like me?" or something, not wanting to peer into Anon's mind and see all the perverted things we want her to do.

I actually like seeing her as being on the extreme opposite side of the spectrum in comparison to Koishi. The in-game dialogue reflects their abilities and personality a bit, but really, the dialogue shows their different characters off rather weakly, so I exaggerate their personalities a great deal. Just a word of warning to those who stick heavily to canon stuff.

Whereas I see Koishi being much more subtle and subdued, I see Satori being far too direct and blunt. When they say that Koishi acts with her subconscious, I really want them to mean that. She should look and act as blank as a clean slate, but she should always end up being one step ahead of most everyone else.

Satori, on the other hand, is very much open with her emotions. I like to think of her as a judging sort, avoiding youkai and humans because they often lie or do hypocritical things for no reason at all, whereas animals need to deceive and trick their prey in order to survive. She often acts and thinks solely with her emotions, and acts on emotional impulse. I suppose you can say that she wears her heart on her sleeve. Hurr.

>>2191711
>Otherwise, she would want to seek out at least someone to be with.
I disagree.

>>2191751
I thought you'd say that, and my response was:

Even Patchy has Koakuma to stick around.

>>2191699
Okay, this has gone on long enough. Can someon PLEASE explain this meme to me? And don't fucking tell me to lurk /prog/ since I have no idea what's going on there.

>>2191761
lurk /prog/

>>2191761
SICP is a book

>>2191758
Patchy isn't Satori though.

┐(´―`)┌

We've pretty much hit the block where our views of character are so different, we're pretty much just going to go back and forth nonsensically until the topic dies. It's pretty much clear that we both see her in a completely different light, and that it's sort of silly to say that one idea is right over the other.

I like to imagine that after reading my mind she'd gasp, blush, nod her head in confirmation, stride towards me and kiss me passionately.

;_;

>>2191748

I much prefer Satori as a sad character, seeing as she's pretty much the only one Gensokyo has.

People don't like her being around so she just mopes around in her mansion, being reserved, hanging out with her pets.

But is that even relevant to the topic or is it just your way of saying, "I've read SICP"?

I like seeing Satori as a brutally blunt person. She knows what people are thinking, and, kinda like Ms Cake in Discworld, she has the tendency to answer you before you even ask, which is very offputting to people. Basically, to a being whose whole species can read minds... secrecy, plotting, dancing around issues are things that probably seem completely useless - most likely she has never even learned them.

That said, she's a very good person. Excessive empathy tends to make you willing to help others. But her help can take some really strange shapes, as she goes with what she knows what will help you, not what you want to hear.

All these things are what made her shunned. After all, people do *not*, in fact, want someone to tell them what they need.

So I like writing her as a girl that has come to terms with herself, and isn't really sad, but still wonders about people at times (also, as a very smart woman who tends to be three steps over most everybody, but being able to hear people's thoughts will do that)

She's like the perfect lie detector

>>2191853
That's almost exactly how I saw her as well.

I never understood why she'd interrupt people constantly if she really wanted companionship.

>>2191748
>The in-game dialogue reflects their abilities and personality a bit, but really, the dialogue shows their different characters off rather weakly,
I know what you mean. Satori and Koishi come off as being a bit too normal for my tastes, especially for people with that sort of ability.

>>2191853
>Basically, to a being whose whole species can read minds

Now you know why it's called achieving Satori.

READ SICP!

>>2191853

People don't know what's really good for them, and often do not like it when they get it. That alone would cause tons of problems for someone like Satori.

>>2191690
sums up Satori pretty accurately

Would you also like to become my pet?

I like how she replaced Alice as the ronery touhou

I have never read SICP, and never will.

Living with her would probably be awesome.
