Because its fun.

There are no Life-changing crises in gensokyo.

It's just game, retard.

Because some people just like to take it easy, and like.. not think.. and stuff..

My dog is eight years old. He should be able to fucking read by now.

Fairies aren't very intelligent.
They probably have small brains.

Vampires in the Touhou setting sacrifice maturity for near-eternal life and power. They're permanently stuck with the mindset of children. Still, Remilia usually tries to act much wiser than she is.

>>4744218
Mine is 7 and has just mastered opening my closed bedroom door.

your're mind changes with the passage of time and hormonal changes and shit

>>4744229
>your're

That's a new one.

Even though she's a fairy, she can still learn!

Kaguya and Patchy don't act like kids, and Kaguya is OLD.

Although really it seems that youkai basically have the mental state of whatever their bodies look like. Kanako and Suwako are both fucking goddesses, however Kanako appears to take shit much more seriously. Accordingly Remy is a rich little spoiled girl and acts like a brat.

Suika is much smarter/more cunning than she appears; she's silly mostly because she's been drunk for the past couple of hundred years. Then again Suika isn't a youkai.

Lastly it's Touhou, it was never meant to be taken seriously to begin with.

>>4744257
Suwako chooses to look and act the way she does because she sold all her decision-making power to Kanako and got the ability to just not give a damn in return.

>>4744257
>Suika isn't a youkai
Wrong.

>>4744273
>oni
>youkai

Oni are demon highlords, she'd be more related to devils than anything. It really depends how you define a couple of terms.

Oni, devils and youkai are all classified as distinctly different from each other in the ZUNverse.

>>4744257
Technically the definition of Youkai used by ZUN refers to mythical creatures in general, refer than specific "species"

Everybody in Gensokyo is silly.

>>4744300
If you want to get technical, oni are fantastic even in terms of (Touhou) youkai. Remember that Aya article where Suika admitted to breaking the moon apart and then putting it back together as if it were just a parlor trick?

>>4744257

The mind is nothing but a plaything of the body!

When you're that old, youjust don't give a fuck, and do what you want.

Being old makes you not want to be reminded that you are old, so they act like dumbass youngsters.

>>4744399
They act like YOUKAI. They are not human.

>>4744197
SENILITY.

60 years old is pretty young for a youkai.

>>4744478
It's really old for a fairy. They usually die off and respawn long before then.

>>4744197
Why is Chen attacking a poor woman in the background?

Goddamn youkai. Harming innocents, they should be exorcised and done away with.

>>4744197

Youkai don't merely live a long time; they have *indefinite* lifespans.

If you had an indefinite lifespan, would you waste it being GRIMDARK and SERIOUS? Or would you go out and have fun?

Of course most Youkai, especially the older ones, are wise. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to have fun. In Gensokyo, you can find a single person who can both teach a class on world history and play hide-and-seek in the forest.

And it's awesome.

>>4744517
I would spend it eating human children and watching their parents sob in woeful grief. I would laugh.

>>4744517
... and have pretend-underage sex?

>>4744517
They'll die eventually. Nothing in this world lasts forever.

>>4744538
>Nothing in this world lasts forever.

They get bored of being serious and make stupid shit happen to enjoy life again.

Thread over.

>>4744528

And this is why you're not a Youkai in lightsokyo. I would play with the children.

>>4744538

>>4744555
They might outlive powerful gods and youkai, but they won't outlive the universe.

>>4744197
Sometimes it is easier to run around stealing everyone's sake than to reflect on the past.

>>4744578

There is no heat death in Gensokyo.

>>4744528
We need some GRIMDARK like this. We have a nice, farming type family. The father of the house has passed away due to a youkai attack and the oldest son is left as man of the house. His days are awash with tending to the crop, gathering food and watching over his two younger siblings; a younger sister and brother. His mother washes the clothes and prepares the meals. One day will out harvesting his crop a youkai attacks and kills and half-way eats his two siblings who were outside playing. As he ran towards the scene he could make out his mother attempting to protect the daughter when she is then bitten in half and devoured. The daughter is then killed for sport since the youkai has had it's fill off the younger brother and mother. A path of vengeance ensues.

>>4744578

>Pic

get the fuck out

>>4744587

Sure is underaged in here.

>>4744567
Why? Eat the children. It's funnier.

>>4744585
Obviously. Gensokyo is in the heat death.

>>4744517
>If you had an indefinite lifespan, would you waste it being GRIMDARK and SERIOUS?
live long enough and you will want to die
I seem to remember a star trek episode that made the point that if you live long enough to literally have seen and done everything there is no point in living anymore.

>>4744586
No we don't. Touhou is an escape from trite crap like that.

>>4744620
Why's that? You can replay games and it'll still be fun. Same thing with everything else.

>>4744620

Star Trek != reality

The brain has finite capacity for information. You can't remember every possible thing to do in the universe. You know how sometimes you go back and play a game you played 10 years ago, and it's FUN again? It's like that.

>>4744620
You're comparing youkai to humans again. Stop. They are not the same.

>>4744626

Yeah, fuck GRIMDARK.

Gensokyo is constant happy and light-toned.

>>4744630

>>4744586
>nice, farming type family
There will never be a more relevant time to post this picture.

>>4744633
I was comparing them to the Q continuum
omnipotent beings that live forever
though i suppose your point still stands.....

>>4744586

>>4744645
I love the implications here.

>>4744655
>>4744645
Parsee as a farmer?

>>4744655
What implications are you thinking of? I just like the fact Parsee left her cave.

>>4744645

Yuka looks either busy or sad.

It best be busy.

>>4744649
Another thing to consider: youkai and gods (who are youkai; that's another argument ...) exist because humans either fear them or have faith in them. It seems that intrayoukai belief doesn't factor heavily into their ability to existence. Their lifespan is definite, in that sense.

>>4744666

>666

Proof Yuka is a murderous bitch who would kill millions with a smile on her face.

>>4744586
That's cruel. I do not think even Yuka would do something so cruel.

>>4744702

Should now fight

>>4744709

What if we just approached youkai with an air of indifference? Y'know, treated them like any other person?

For example
Yuka comes to the human village to shop. Most humans run for it; shut your doors and bar yer windows!
You run the flower shop and just treat Yuka like you'd treat any other human customer?

>>4744717
HEAVEN OR HELL

>>4744788
That's exactly what happens. You know this.

>>4744788

I own the fucking flower shop.

I'm positive that if Yuka is heading my way, she's not here to kill and that the others are stupid. I'd put her favorites on the counter and be ready so she doesn't need to waste any time there and can get back to her field.

Besides, I like Yuka.

>>4744804
Ran may be a kitsune in human form but she still gets called and referred to as an animal.

>>4744824
Aw, that's so sweet of you! Would you like to accompany me back to the sunflower field? We could help sow the seeds and plant flowers! ♥

>>4744788
Older youkai are an exception. They either don't care for weak, pathetic commoners or know better than to kill a human.

But that needn't hold true for all youkai. A lot of the "bestial" ones in particular probably view humans as prey. Which leads to humans treating youkai in general with aversion.

>>4744875
The youkai moe....it is too powerful....HNNNNNNNGH

>>4744885
Is that so~

Mystia has the best views on humans. She just wants to get a gang together and go bust some heads, or, failing that, fleece them for all they're worth.

>>4744899
Don't keep me waiting.....

>>4744875

Why sure!

I'd go even if she said "I'm also going to eat your legs off and leave you to bleed out in the field as fertiziler for my flowers."

>>4744924

Oh god.

So irresistable. I like Yuka.

>>4744917
Why that little chirping bitch.

I wonder if the elder youkai like Yukari, Yuka etc use their sex appeal to lure human men to their doom.

Hmmm

If I were a Youkai, I'd take the form of a little girl and play with the human children. I'd be their secret friend: every time their parents showed up, I'd disappear. I'd use my powers to make their games more interesting. And I'd protect them from malicious Youkai.

And when they grew up, I'd move onto the next generation.

>>4745063
>I'd take the form of a little girl
I see through you, you just want to be the little girl

>>4745063
that's stupid

>>4745005

That's a smart idea...I've never thought of that....

Come with me, you deserve a reward~...

>>4745080

>>4745151

Yukari is not amused, you brat.

>>4745190
Sorry. I do not feel like getting devoured by an old hag today. Thanks though.

I was scouting in /b/ (we will refer to this as "Unfunny Hellhole" from now on) and they're done attacking us with unfunny faggotry.

Now they're mauling /a/ and Anontalk. Good!

>>4745197

Silly boy, all Touhou memes suck.

And I can't devour you, I'm not Yuyuko~...

>>4745199
That's nice dear. We're discussing youkai, would you like to join us?

>>4745215

Why do I get the feeling he's a-

Nevermind, let us continue our riveting discussion.

>>4745197

I'd get devoured by Yukari.

>>4745235

You're boring though.

You want to come.

>>4745206
>boy

THAT'S NOT WHAT MY PANTS SAY.

Are they all demons? Then let them burn in hell. Eternal life? Eternal Pain.

>>4745308

>>4745321


Traitor-bitch is the worst youkai of all. Burn her at the stake.

>>4745308
You haven't lived til you felt the flames of hell, Sis.

Hmph. Why make threads about them if their all just demons? Dont let their appearance fool you. Theyre all evil. None are innocent. None should survive.

A youkai has a much greater chance of being pure than any human. Whether it's pure evil or pure good... that depends.

>>4745323
Fuck you nigger.

No good reason for the demon-worshipping...
Sad state of affairs, /jp/. They do cute/cool/powerful-looking stuff? Pshhh.

>>4745449
Even gods agree that it's okay to worship youkai if they do a good enough job at it.

>>4745449

Youkai are spirits, not demons. Demons are just one kind of spirit; an evil one.

One can have good spirits, too.

>>4745471
Yeah, like whatever bucket Ranka is.

Because they are taking it easy?

>>4745555
Bucket Ranka isn't a good spirit. She's an evil psychopath. Aya said so.
