Best Hatate. Look how happy she is!

It's inexplicable, really, but I'm willing to acknowledge Hatate's existence if only for tonight. Just give me a while for the game to end. We'll see what we can cook up.

What is the purpose of Hatate's existence?

>>7413965

Beats me.

>>7413965
Showing Aya isn't the only reporter in Gensokyo?

>>7413965
I like hatate because she is a less bold aya who I can kinda connect more to, also shes a hiki just like most of us. Also thighhighs and ribbons are nice.

My three waifus (because im pimping like that) are:
1. Okuu
2. Hatate
3. Suwako

Bakkoi or Hata-tan?

You can only have one. The other never existed.

>>7413979
The one that's not complete shit.

>>7413978
>three waifus

>>>/a/

>>7413980
Aya it is, then.

>>7413979
Bakkoi, of course.

>>7413979
bakkoi

>>7413965
ZUN's trying to phase out Aya. He's failing.
Hatate's still a good side character, though.

I don't have anything nice to say about her.

That's a big step up from pretending she doesn't exist, though.

>>7413982
I know I should have one but I love them all.... well, I love okuu a bit more than sanae and hatate.

>>7413965
Shes a bit more like a more tech savy, younger aya but with a totally different personality and work ethic.

The real question is, how good are the pictures she takes with her phone camera?

>>7413978
>also shes a hiki just like most of us
aren't they all?

I'm not going to let one Touhou thread pass by without a school swimsuit pic.

I guess she's kind of pretty.

>>7414021
She encourages Aya to work harder/better/faster/stronger on the Bunbunmaru through her own newspaper.
That's something, no?

>>7414032

I don't know enough about Hatate to really form my own opinion of her, but she's a bird youkai so that must mean she's good. I think I'll just keep it at that.

Through competition, I mean, of course.

>>7414041
Is youki really that... gar I guess would be the right word?

>>7414040

Tengu but whatever.

>>7414045

No, it is not.

>>7414045
He's gar, and half again gar. He's the garest being in Gensokyo, tied with Unzan.

>>7414052
Those eyes don't look right at all.

This has been my art nitpick for the day.

>>7414062

It happens.

>>7413965

A second tengu tool for ZUN to completely wreck fanon's shit in the third picture-taking game by adding Aya-related character development they never anticipated.

>>7413979
I like Hata-tan. I know it's probably about as embarrassing to like Hata-tan as Neko Scarlet, but there it is. I have no excuses.

>>7414066
>a second tengu
>posts a picture with Momiji
why you do this

>>7414065
Oh well. It's straight from Pixiv, judging by the filename, so you take what you can get. It's not like it was approved by Danbooru mods.

(My captcha has an ō in it. Damn Wikipedians, pushing their dumb romanization...)

>>7414073

I'm all right with a few artistic liberties being taken as long as the end product looks nice, really.

>>7413965

Yep.

Posting Hatate doesn't feel all that bad.

>>7414162
Hey, you're right! It kinda feels like peeing in a pool.

>>7414166

That's an excellent way to describe it.

Here, have some loli Hatate.

Would Hatate play in an emo band?

>>7414199

Now what?

>>7414212

Beats me.

>>7414199

>>7414218

>>7414225

>>7414227

Oh, it's a set. I see.

I liked Hatate more after this guy drew her

>>7414241
wonder who produced the seemingly sticky fluids on the mirror

>>7414072

Read what I was getting at again.

Very attractive.

>>7414227

>>7414276

Where did it all go wrong?

Bitch needs some Goldbond for that female itch.

i expected her to replace Aya since people always go crazy for new characters, it look like i was wrong but it's not like i cared about her since the beginning.

This one's really nice.

>>7414298

There's no way that could've happened.

I love these threads.

>>7414332

I'd help her keep warm. Or at least try to, anyway.

Not because I like her or anything...

This one's really depressing.

She just seems to fit this kind of portrayal. That's pretty sad.

>>7413979
I'm gonna have to go with Bakkoi on this one. It's silly, but I can't bear to see more Hata-tan. Tugs too hard on the heartstrings.

>>7414425
She really does, and it really is.

A Hata-tan Shimeji.

Password is "hata"

>>7414439

I don't want to like her but I want her to be happy...

>>7414450
>I don't want to like her
Why's that?

>>7414470

I'm not on good terms with Double Spoiler. I'm on very bad terms with it, actually. Do you see where I'm going with this?

>>7414483
Oh, the ears. Right.
That's not a very good reason to dislike Scallop, but eh.

>>7414494

It's not like I disliked her, I just pretended she didn't exist.

>>7414500
>past tense
Progress!

>>7413979
I choose both.

>>7414521

Well, I'd rather not admit it but I guess so.

random aya rival that is in that one game is the shittiest touhou hands down. why is she so fucking useless?
god, i love aya, and this rival's existence is just like throwing up all over her good name. fucking hate her.

>>7414675

If I can come to like her than so can you. Give it a shot.

>>7414687

>then

What was I thinking when I typed "than". It's getting a bit late, maybe.

>>7414703

>What was I thinking when I typed "than"?

I'm on a roll tonight.

>>7414703
You should see if Aya would hire you as her editor. You'd do great, and god knows she needs one.

>>7414725

Only if she paid in kisses.

Man, it's really late. I should be heading to bed now. Let's see what tomorrow will bring us, /jp/.

Mornings with Hatate are surprisingly pleasant.

Hatate is lovely no matter how she is portrayed.

>>7415522
Pretty much, though I like the yandere door-destroyer version best.

Does Hatate even have her own theme music?

>>7415522

She's all right, yeah.

>>7415562
...oh god, she doesn't.

>>7415739

She'll probably get one when her book comes out or something.

>>7415562
Well, Infinite Nightmare is kind of considered to be her theme. ZUN never specified, though. If it was, though, it would be an awesome theme for her.

Hatate goes rude.

>>7415918
You have my approval.

>>7415918

Oh dear.

So, spirit photography.

How does it work?

>>7416133

Magic search engines.

>>7416133

>>7416142

Yes, that.

>>7416139
>>7416142

Well... now that isn't quite as efficient as that other urban legend parapsychological sort of spirit photography.
Although a whole lot more credible.

With the lack of elaboration, suspected it was some sort of digital nensha. Just take a picture randomly and pray it doesn't come out as something hostile to your mental health.

It'd be neat if this thread was on the front page, I think.

>>7416642
Yeah, Hatate deserves it after all.

>>7416691

I do not disagree.

So pretty.

That Hotate really needs to get out more. Take some risks, make some friends, that sort of thing.
Who ever heard of an antisocial tengu? Ridiculous...

God damn, that's less a skirt and more a frilly belt. Why wear it at all?

>>7417310

It goes well with the sweater, I think.

>>7417301
>Hotate
How rude.

>>7417329
What? That's her name.
What do you want me to call her?

I want to go swimming.

>>7417374
It would be nice. My boner would probably rip off my trunks, though.

>>7417439

I honestly can't say I'd get different results.

>>7417447
I would.

Baggier swim trunks, y'see.

Well...I know what I'm flapping to tonight.

>>7417458

>flapping to

I'm from /a/ and I don't know what is going on. Who is this slut?

>>7417460
...oops.

>>7417470
You should've passed it off as a pun. 'Cause of the wings, y'know?

>>7417475
I don't understand, can you explain further?

>>7417470

You weren't going for the pun?

>>7417479
Flapping wings of a crow tengu... Fapping....

I dunno, that's about it really.

>>7417475
Nope. Freudian slip, I guess.

>>7417458
>>7417470
>>7417496
Mistake. Riiiight.
Anonymous confirmed for Tengu.

>>7417496

I thought it was kind of funny, really.

>>7417502
You can't prove anything.

>>7417496

I knew I had seen this image/pose somewhere before.

Why is there no beach in Gensokyo!? Why!?
It's not fair!

>>7417502
>>7417507
...I love you guys...

>>7417502
Damn it. You got me.

Almost all of my nice pictures are of her with Aya, so instead have crazy mode.

Okay, okay... enough pictures not featuring Hatate, you guys.

>>7417535
Morgana, is that you?

>>7417520
Because the Touhou Corporation buildings were built right to the edge of Prismriver Shores.

>>7417535
An Aya is fine too, as long as Hatate isn't just hanging out in the background or something.

>>7417549

Like such.

It's always a pain coming really late to an image thread.

>>7417572

Hey, man... where've you been?

Pick your poison.

I can't let a Hatate thread go by without mentioning how awesome this doujin was.

>>7417575
I've been around but haven't seen much worth posting in lately.

>>7417607

How did you miss this thread?

Oh well. How's it going, buddy?

>>7417618
I don't know how I missed this thread. I guess I wasn't up that late last night because I had to work this morning, so maybe it just passed me by.

Right now I'm debating whether or not I should burn my Soria jersey from the 2008 all star game. Yourself?

>>7417650

Just paid an arm and a leg for front row tickets behind the Lions for the Monday night game. This is the only reason I took that job... although I must admit that I feel a bit better about myself while working.

>>7417667
Unfortunately this was the last day for that temp job. The job I interviewed for last week is supposed to be decided in the next day or two though. If I don't get that then I'm applying all over the place.

Working at least puts some routine in your life, instead of doing nothing all day every day, which I have done my fair share of.

>>7417686

I really hope you get the job but all this talk about work is depressing.

Just 16 left.

15 after this one.

This thread let me appreciate Hatate so much more. And now outnumbers my Aya folder by so much...

>>7417944

How big is your Aya folder? Am I going to have to slap a bitch?

>>7417948
Well I only recently decided to collect Touhou images, and only save what I find on /jp/... So not very big at all.
I just wanted to say that to see it'd provoke you, seeing as how you're a contributor to a thread devoted to your girlfriend's rival

>>7417956

How recently? Did you catch the last Aya thread I made when the Red Wings lost? That one had some really nice pictures. To be honest, I could go for another one this week. I'd rather wait for someone to make it, though.

Also, I'm not really bothered if you prefer Hatate over Aya. She certainly needs fans.

>>7417956
I don't think Aya minds.

>>7417967
I think I caught the start of it, then got distracted and never went back.
Happens to me a lot.
And I'm just kidding about the being a fan thing anyway. I don't know either very well (haven't played the picture games yet). Hatate's just less popular, which means better by hipster terms, right? And /jp/ is basically hipster.

>>7417985

Won't you be her fan?

>>7418003
I can't say no to a face like that...
She will never take the place of Sakuya though.

>>7418037

Sakuya's pretty great, yeah.

I would have liked to finish this one tonight but it doesn't look like that's very likely.

Giving Hatate a chance was an excellent choice, if I don't say so myself.

>>7419103

>if I do say so

Not sure what happened here.

>>7419103
You may end up liking them all.

I never met a Touhou I didn't like.

>>7419119

Who knows? For now I'm just glad I gave Hatate the time of day.

Although I think I like her a bit too much. Dare I say, fallen in "like" with her.

>>7419143

>>7419204

Oh come on, there's a pretty big difference between love and like.

Aya is the only one I love.

Posting Hatate in a Hatate thread.

>>7419213
Oh, it wasn't a euphemism? I see, I see.

>>7419218

No, just a dumb reference to Home Movies.

Forgive me, but English is my third language.

How do you pronounce Hatate? "Hat-ate?" "Ha-tah-tey?" "Hah-tah-tee" ?

>>7419259
はたて ひめかいどう

>>7419259
Well, English pronunciation isn't really the issue, it's the Japanese pronunciation.

In any case, I pronounce it Ha ta tay, but I could easily be wrong, given that I mispronounce Youmu half the time.

>>7419259

That doesn't look like Hatate at all.

At any rate, this was fun. Hatate really deserves some attention.

bump cause i need to save pictures

Does this mean /jp/ likes Hatate now?

>>7420205
I like hatate but I believe /jp/ in general has a neutral viewpoint on her still, maybe a tad bit higher due to this thread.

>>7419259
I watch those M-1 Manzai things and assume their pronunciation is correct.

>>7420488
Speaking of M-1, Hatate/Aya losing in the fifth grand prix to Byakuren/Murasa's hygiene humor was complete horseshit.

>>7420501

that pissed me off so much
