because in both of those cases, they've been depicted as both

>>44154279
To be completely fair to them, it did use to be the case that Aya would never be depicted with wings outside of dubiously canon illustrations. ZUN has also never depicted her with wings, which, as you may imagine, is fuel for the fire.

Not so much the case these days, but I remember fondly the days of triggering 100+ posts of uncontrolled anger by posting manga panels with winged Aya. All in all, I'd categorise it as a soft retcon.

the entirety of LoLK disagres with you

A bit of fun trivia about Sagume's origin.

In the single one myth Amenosagume is featured in most have mentioned that they got freaked out by a divine messenger bird sent by Amaterasu on the advice of Omoikane and urged Amewakahiko to shoot it. However being a divine messenger bird and the arrow being of the same it instead turned back on Amewakahiko killing him. Along with being the originator of all Amanojaku it is easy to see how it inspired her design and gimmick of the world turning against her words.

Now the slight fun bit of trivia is more of a linguistic one that birds & rabbits share the same numeric counter suffixes and japanese even tends to refer to groups of rabbits as 'flocks' instead of 'colony'.

Evidently this linguistic tick has many origins but in one story from the same origin as the Amenosagume story about Emperor Temmu. It was said that he issued a Imperial edict that forbade the consumption of meat & fish due to Buddhist teachings. However due to the wording of this ban it basically overlooked birds.

Now people who really liked their meat through some impressive mental gymnastics figured that since cormorants and herons are okay, rabbits are also birds and good to eat. The significance of this is when you say comorant & heron together quickly it becomes a pun spelling out 'u + sagi'.

When you put it into the context of LoLK, and you realize Sagume's wing is pretty unmistakeably a Heron's wing. Sagume (sagi) ends up facing Reisen (usagi) who is the messenger bird sent by Omoikane/Eirin resulting in Sagume's attack getting turned against her.

So Tengu were a bunch of immature children 150 years ago? What is odd is this weird fire dance thing was done when Gensokyo was firmly established, so this isn't some weird outside world shenanigans.

>immature children
No more nor less mature than any other youkai. You've got to remember most classic youkai were fairly straightforward creatures, often simply devices for the particular story's aesops. It is only in modern times (i.e. Gensokyo's timeframe) that they've had to mature and change their ways for continued survival.
