Also it's HRtP student ZUN, it was literally 25 fucking years after that. People change a lot in such time, and we see it in touhou too, Zun reneged on his own statements multiple times at this point.
Though honestly fuck ninja in touhou, most stupid of all japanese tropes. Only way it fits in touhou is that how much of ninja image is pure mythology

Trows and Selkies from Shetland folk-lore. Trows are imp-like creatures that cause mischief. Selkies are seals that take the shape of men and they come from the sea-kingdom to lure women and drag them down to the sea kingdom, drowning them in the process.

Shetland had a lot of folk-lore and it is a shame I have never heard folk-lore like it anywhere else I've lived.

Now that you mention it, there are a ton of sea-based youkai (obviously since Japan is an island) but there's really none in Gensokyo. The kappa and Wakasagihime exist but they're more river/lake focused. A koi touhou could be nice and pretty.

There's no sea in Gensokyo. It's a landlocked region that doesn't really have much that isn't forest or mountain or both.

could introduce a new otherworld that is sea-based, thats how concepts that don't fit gensokyo are handled. maybe another region of the moon, since it's linked to the sea? or a game set deep in the sanzu river or another watery afterlife?

[Anonymous No.]

>>42533783
Urban legends and cryptids are entirely separate things from urban legend, and youkai as well for that matter
Youkai are explanations for the mundane and specifically lost power as things were explained with reason not superstition.
Cryptids are usually animals, demonic like beings, or seeming forces of nature that defy explanations entirely.

>Ok, but a good chunk creature-like "cryptids" fall more into a western youkai-like category
no, its not a matter of how much "creature-like" they are. hasshaku-sama is a person and yet she is a urban legend.
>>42537344
>Cryptids are usually animals, demonic like beings, or seeming forces of nature that defy explanations entirely.
no, that's more similar to urban legends. youkai are scary stories to explain natural phenomena, while urban legends are scary stories that don't explain anything but still serve as an outlet for fear. they don't need to stay in a separate world to exist, since they can still exist in the modern world. they also arent coherent enough to do something like that

hey, thats the same thing that anon said. anyway you are right, youkai arent necessarly the explanation for phenomena, but they are things people generally belive (believed) in. not all creatures classified as "youkai" in irl folklore are true youkai in the touhou universe, for example okiku is an ancient urban legend: she's just a character from a stage play, not an actual vengeful spirit. people were scared of her but didnt really belive in her existence. same for the modern urban legends. youkai have a more concrete basis and indipendent existence, they need fear but arent completely defined by it. urban legends are basically direct manifestations of fear and are very one-note

Bigfoot/the Yeti is probably a youkai that can still sustain itself in the outside world due to its fame, like Nessie. I imagine western cryptids and stuff that are lesser known (regionally, but not world famous), like a lot of Scottish folklore creatures probably end up in some kind of European Gensokyo.

It begs the question how Remi ended up in Gensokyo but I think she's just an asshole and thought itd be fun to show up and wreck shit until the sages and Reimu made her stop.

>It's clear that Remi still has connections to the outside world
Here's a doujin idea: It's a tradition for vampires to host "reunion parties" where vampires from all over the world join a high status social reunion each century or so and it's Remilia's turn to host the next Vampire reunion at her mansion.
Just imagine the other snob vapires low key criticizing every aspect of Remilia, from how "low class" the SDM looks compared to their lair to how Remilia "disgraces the proud vampire race" by communing with lowly creatures like humans, and all that stuff. It doesn't help that Remilia lied about the scarlet mist incident, implying that she defeated Reimu and removed the mist out of her own good will after taking over Gensokyo and she is doing her best to keep the lie, that is, until the other Yokai show up at the mansion after hearing about the party from Aya, also, Flandre is reluctant to attend the party because she was locked at the basement during every other reunion and isn't interested in spending time with "snob idiots that are snobier than how the members of the SDM, including her, already are", only to show up at the last minute looking gorgeous and stealing the spotlight wearing a beautiful scarlet dress, more shenanigans ensues.
What else could be done with this scenario? could it be plausible in-canon?
