It's actually really easy. They're just stories.

Objecting to Touhou doujinshi because it doesn't line up with canon 100% is like objecting to Harry Potter because cars don't actually fly.

>> No.10776207

But Harry Potter isn't based on an actual existing person or character. This is more like if the Harry Potter series was actually starring Harold Ford and had flying Edsels

>> No.10776235

>>10776207
Yes, but Harry Potter London is based on real London, and real London is distinctly devoid of flying cars and magic trains.

Flying cars are obviously unrealistic in a movie that purports to be historical, but with Touhou magic is not inherently implausible. A better comparison would be alternate history stories.

And there's a definite difference between the Gensokyo where Flandre lost it and murdered everyone in the SDM sometime between IN and MoF and the real Gensokyo where that didn't actually happen, and a difference between the one where Perfect Cherry Blossom was settled through a series of mahjong games and the real Gensokyo where they played danmaku instead.

If you read the thread, you'll see that the author name is explicitly said in one of the posts.

Barring that, if you google "Gensokyo" and "Vintage" together, you'll find the Gaku update featuring that release which has a direct download and mentions the author name.

Sakuya's abuse of time manipulation doesn't do her loved ones any favours.

Sure, she gets more done in a day than is humanly possible, but she also ages more in a day as a result.

>> No.10776941

>>10776793
They never really explain how her power effects her age. She could be aging with her power, which in theory would be making her age faster, or the one where she can stop her age that made that cute white devil story about her outgrowing all her friends and living alone in the scarlet mansion.

Am I the only one who is finds the old 'waaahhh Sakuya dies' jingle to be a dead horse (or dead maid, in this case)? It's been done to death by countless doujin artists. When is there ever going to be a doujin where Sakuya still lives hundreds of years after the events of the games? And that's without any grim catches, like 'hurrr now Sakuya outlives all the other SDM members'. How do you even outlive a vampire anyway? Isn't immortality, or at least agelessness, their thing?

It'd be nice to see doujin artists at least trying to find a solution for Sakuya's short lifespan, or to go for an alternate interpretation about Sakuya's species. Hourai Elixir isn't an option, because obviously Sakuya wouldn't want to keep on existing for eternity if her Mistress may one day be slain. There should still be tons of alternatives though.

(Continued)
Just a couple of possibilties:
> The obvious: Sakuya stopping her own aging with her time powers. She can just start her aging again if Remilia and Flandre are slain by the Belmonts or something.
> Sakuya is a half-youkai. Isn't it curious how the side-notes of Remilia's PMiSS article explicitly mention her fate powers could turn a human into a half-youkai? Not only that, but for all her human qualities Sakuya has just as many youkai ones. Her eyes turn from blue to blood-red during some of her spellcards in the fighter games, and Sakuya's PMiSS article mentions her experience and behavior make it seem she's been around for centuries.
> Sakuya is a homunculus. This is one of the theories Akyuu gives for Sakuya's origins in her PMiSS article. Being a homunculus explains the aforementioned inhuman traits but also the human ones (like looking tasty to the Prismrivers in PCB). Patchouli has a thing for alchemy, going by her Philosopher's Stone cards, so she could have made Sakuya. Sakuya might be running on some kind of 'fuel' (think Red Stones). Remilia wanted Sakuya to take the Hourai Elixir because this fuel is a pain in the ass to get, perhaps.
> Sakuya becomes a vampire, though this unlikely due to how Remilia can hardly hold a couple of pints of blood. The possibility still hangs in the air though.

But it doesn't really solve the non-aging problem. Lunarians don't grow old because the Moon is free from impurity. It might make her centuries old, but as long as she's living on Earth, it won't stop her aging from now onwards.

>> No.10777852

>>10777099
that's a bit far fetched since most powers are limited to the user's benefits only. In theory if you stop time for a hundred years, I guess you can say everyone stays the same age for a hundred years, but we're discussing if this time period makes her age more or less in regards to everyone else.
