Especially if they decided to put these two together

u/darkdraggy3 Aug 22 '24
Alternatibly, a non zombie Yoshika is also a source of worry

u/hydroyellowic_acid Yuyuko Saigyouji Aug 22 '24
Yuyuko when she's still alive is also quite worrying

Is this supposed to be Rumia without her ribbon?
110
u/hydroyellowic_acid Yuyuko Saigyouji Aug 21 '24
AFAIR, EX-Rumia in fanworks is Rumia that took off her ribbon (which some authors think it's a seal) and unleashes her true power.
132
u/Raikariaa Aug 21 '24
It's not a "think it's a seal" its canonically a seal. ZUN has said so, and Rumia cannot touch it.
78
u/awkwardbirb iunno Aug 21 '24
I think ZUN might have mentioned so long ago that it was a seal. He just never followed up on it (probably for this kind of speculation fuel.)

u/Antoniomfo Sekibanki Aug 22 '24

Tell me she isnt kkhta yorihime
Adding more to it is that her passives are related to anti kaiju

u/Most-Engineering-514 Remilia Scarlet Aug 22 '24
Oh yeah I forgot about her since I've quit playing lost word a year ago.

Yo, perfect time to plug in Imperfect Metamorphosis!
Fanfic from AO3 that has this Rumia in it along with another "fan" character.

u/nonexistent_acount I like moody ghost girl Aug 21 '24
Tbf, she's more close to Rumia EX's design than Osana Reimu's Rumia design

The feels are real!!
Can we get much sadder? (Soo saad~)

u/Previous-Gear4060 pancakes... Aug 21 '24
I love the fact that Rumia in this one does not look like a fully grown up woman - she is still a young girl, but with more "mature" vibe to her
4
u/Troykv Patchouli Knowledge Aug 21 '24
Yup, feels very appropiate, specially considering this Rumia is definitely inspired by classic depictions of an Older "unleashed" Rumia, which increased her edge but didn't change her design drastically.

Apologies for my ignorance, but can anyone explain why the comment is reacting this way?

u/SquashPurple4512 Youmu Konpaku Aug 21 '24
Osana reimu is a tragic doujin with an Adult Rumia and a child Reimu (I think) and it's really REALLY depressive apparently
2
u/omega3136K Aug 21 '24
Ah okay. Thank you for your information. I've been down to read some depressing stuffs lately, so I might put it on my reading list.
1
u/SquashPurple4512 Youmu Konpaku Aug 21 '24
I actually have no ideas how far does it go so I wont read it myself (yeah i may play touhou and be masochist but not that far)
5
u/Tager133 Badly done OC Aug 21 '24
Both Osana Reimu and Reireimu are really sad but also quite beautiful. For people interested in Touhou fanworks I would recommend it for sure. Dont worry, it's not one of those stories where everyone is in perpetual suffering just because.
1
u/Most-Engineering-514 Remilia Scarlet Aug 22 '24
No no, people are in perpetual suffering. Just not the characters but rather we are in perpetual emotional suffering whenever this doujin gets brought up.
