What would your life be like if you hadn't discovered Touhou?

>> No.13432117

The same, minus Touhou.

>> No.13432132

Honestly pretty shit. I was depressed as hell in high school for not too many good reasons looking back but i found touhou and it became like 40% of my life. Getting into the whole fandom and reading doujin works or listening to doujin music ever day when i'd get back home made my life better. Nothing ever really got me in such good spirits.
Only sad that I didn't have any irl friends that cared for it.

Touhou changed my life.

>> No.13432217

Not too different, I only got into it very recently. It boosted my motivation to learn Japanese and work on fanart/music, though.

It's actually quite amazing; I managed to stay completely oblivious about 2hu up until last year, despite spending a majority of my teens on deviantart.

I would be a lot less warm and caring. Seriously, I learned how to love by loving Touhous. I am not kidding here, I genuinely believe that sitting around all day posting about how I want to cuddle with Ran in her tail, meticulously planning a date with Youmu in a .txt file that I carry on a thumb drive, looking at every bare Touhou belly on Danbooru, etc. has made me me a better person. I don't carry around all that anger and I am far friendlier to absolutely every walk of life.

I wouldn't have nearly as many friends as I do today. I'm no longer into 2hu but I don't regret the time I spent in the fandom.

Touhou meant a fucking lot to me. It was there for me when I had turbulent ups and downs in my high school life and even now I'm still eternally grateful to Touhou for helping me through some of my most vital years.

>> No.13434467

Touhou lead me to /jp/, and /jp/ made me realize that what I really wanted in life was to be a NEET.

So if I hadn't discovered Touhou I might have graduated college and found a decent paying job instead of living in my mom's basement. Don't know if I would be happier or not, though.

That would require never coming to 4chan, which means a significant chunk of the last 8 years is up in smoke. I just now realized that I've been on this site for like a quarter of my life. It's uncanny.

I one day realized that you need your own hobbies and passions to talk about with others if one ever wants to establish deeper relationships.

Since I never want to talk about 2D topics with real people, and they don't want to talk about them either, it is hard to get truly close to others, beyond /jp/

>> No.13440349

No idea, I started playing touhou to fit in with /jp/ several years ago, and then after beating most them on lunatic, I decided to learn japanese so I could read untranslated porn games, and this whole process left me with barely any friends.

>> No.13440391

I started playing touhou when I was looking for "curtain-fire" type games, and it was perfect for my needs.

Now this affected me because I was going through a rough spot as a musician when I starting playing through these. I was thinking the whole time "I love these songs, too bad the instruments aren't better". That's when I discovered the sheer number of incredible arranges, and I actually got inspired to try again at music. God bless you ZUN you glorious bastard.

I would be dead, not even kidding.
I was planning sucide but I suddenly played Touhou for some reason and got hooked in, by the time I played them all and read the written works I forgot about killing myself.
Now everytime I'm feeling suicidial I stop myself and consider I wouldn't be able to play/read the next game/written work.

I got into Touhou via a good friend of mine at a pretty difficult time of my life.I played the games and was intrigued from the get-go.
Over time, three months or so later, I decided to open up a YouTube channel. I emersed myself in the world, sometimes to a ridiculous degree, but never put it too much in the way of school.
Over the years, Touhou became a constant in my life, a part of me. I could life without it, but my life would be way less fun, interesting and beautiful without the wonders of Gensokyo.
