If smol Reimu joins LW, start worrying

73

u/hydroyellowic_acid Yuyuko Saigyouji Aug 21 '24

Especially if they decided to put these two together

14

u/darkdraggy3 Aug 22 '24

Alternatibly, a non zombie Yoshika is also a source of worry

12

u/hydroyellowic_acid Yuyuko Saigyouji Aug 22 '24

Yuyuko when she's still alive is also quite worrying

9

u/xaviercruz97 Satori Komeiji Aug 22 '24

No one's talk about the previous miko

95

u/AshaAnime Aug 21 '24

This is a story from when Reimu Hakurei was still small,

33

u/Most-Engineering-514 Remilia Scarlet Aug 22 '24

And the yokai of darkness was still big...

131

u/touhou_emblem Heavily Padded Aug 21 '24

she got that Blue Archive halo thingy

93

u/Ethan-Moreno-029 Aug 21 '24

She's now immune to all projectile-based attacks!

realized that 2hu is bullet hell

Oh... Oh no...

29

u/Silent-Kale9987 Aug 21 '24

She’s now gonna be immortal in game lol

20

u/FengLengshun Aug 21 '24

Should we call her Rumia * Terror then?

103

u/Cold-Temperature-978 Aug 21 '24

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.)

29

u/c0d3_attorney Fishing Rod Connoisseur Aug 21 '24

It was mentioned in ge omake

21

u/LifeWillBeFun Aug 21 '24

This is Rumia without her Special Charm

A certain doujin flashback starts to come

17

u/A_Sus In dire need of drum's lap and headpat Aug 21 '24

Black wings?

Kurumi should sue NN.

u/According_Emotion188 Aug 21 '24

What do you mean this past-tense and “chance”… did it get taken down from somewhere?

4

u/Amaurus Youmu Konpaku Aug 21 '24

I'm missing the context here, what's the doujin in question?

12

u/averagejoe2005 Suwako Moriya Aug 21 '24

osana reimu

39

u/ZuStorm93 Aug 21 '24

PTSD intensifies

6

u/AutummThrowAway Aug 21 '24

Are you all referencing something cursed?

21

u/Wainbowrandomnumber Aug 21 '24

No, it's a very wholesome touhou doujin called Osana Reimu! You should watch/read it!😁😁😁

15

u/agent_fire_ Aug 21 '24

yes very wholesome, way too wholesome even

6

u/Most-Engineering-514 Remilia Scarlet Aug 22 '24

Yeah... So wholesome in fact that you would start crying by how peak it is

6

u/Wainbowrandomnumber Aug 22 '24

Yeah, and you get ptsd from it being too wholesome

38

u/tovarisch_ak why is my geiger counter going off- Aug 21 '24

u/Most-Engineering-514 Remilia Scarlet Aug 22 '24

18

u/Antoniomfo Sekibanki Aug 21 '24

Theres kkhta yorihime tho...

8

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '24

Ah yes, forgot about her

2

u/Most-Engineering-514 Remilia Scarlet Aug 22 '24

There's a what in the game?!

2

u/Antoniomfo Sekibanki Aug 22 '24

B3 yorihime

Tell me she isnt kkhta yorihime

Adding more to it is that her passives are related to anti kaiju

1

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.

14

u/S_spam Oldschool Bestschool Aug 21 '24

Koishi Yakumo when?

20

u/Clean-Celebration21 Alien and Magician forever Aug 21 '24

Lossie… I remember, you’re Osana Reimu

16

u/Yuna_Lubi I love not thinking! Aug 21 '24

Yo, perfect time to plug in Imperfect Metamorphosis!

Fanfic from AO3 that has this Rumia in it along with another "fan" character.

17

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

2

u/JustRemka Aug 21 '24

It’s a good mix of the two

12

u/Reyreygammarey83 Merlin is the bane of my existance Aug 21 '24

Please

PLEASE. ANYTHING BUT THAT DOUJIN.

I DON'T NEED TO CRY AGAIN

3

u/Most-Engineering-514 Remilia Scarlet Aug 22 '24

Ok, should I link the cockroach doujin instead since you said anything?

2

u/Reyreygammarey83 Merlin is the bane of my existance Aug 22 '24

The what.

2

u/Most-Engineering-514 Remilia Scarlet Aug 22 '24

Honestly I don't even remember that I made this reply earlier. You saw nothing, now go do continue your day lad.

2

u/Reyreygammarey83 Merlin is the bane of my existance Aug 22 '24

Ifffff you insist. Have a good day

22

u/Rumia-Sonanoka Aug 21 '24

Hell yeah that's me

8

u/Clownpiece_Fairy Loud noise under the Shrine Aug 21 '24

Is your next line ‘you’re probably wondering how this happened huh?’…?

8

u/Rumia-Sonanoka Aug 21 '24

You're probably wondering how this happened huh?

6

u/Clownpiece_Fairy Loud noise under the Shrine Aug 21 '24

AAH YOU MADE IT A JOJO REFERENCE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??

10

u/SilvarusLupus .-. pǝddᴉlɟ uǝǝq ǝʌ,I 'dlǝH Aug 21 '24

Oh noooooooo, the feels!

5

u/Clownpiece_Fairy Loud noise under the Shrine Aug 21 '24

The feels are real!!

Can we get much sadder? (Soo saad~)

3

u/Affectionate-Bill150 Hong Meiling Aug 21 '24

Oh no no~ Oh no no no no~

10

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.

7

u/P14P0 Aug 21 '24

oh my days reireimu flashbacks

6

u/Nelrene Patchouli's wife Aug 21 '24

It seems people here are having trouble grazing the feels.

5

u/Fabulous_Following52 Aug 21 '24

When the man-eating youkai was big...

6

u/omega3136K Aug 21 '24

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

4

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.

3

u/Takeo_Hikari Aug 21 '24

Beautiful Sad story is better than chaotic story like KKHTA

5

u/Silent-Kale9987 Aug 21 '24

Oh no, please not again…

4

u/ciurk Reimu Hakurei Aug 21 '24

far better than making the hags infants

2

u/ZuAmeme Okina Matara (<3) Aug 21 '24

oh boy....

2

u/Takeo_Hikari Aug 21 '24

Need Sendai...

NOW

u/OwONoticeMeSenpai Aug 21 '24

Sendai Miko when 😭

u/DarkTemplar_of_Chaos Aug 21 '24

woah, Lost Word really knocked it out of the park again

u/goldenboxen Aug 21 '24

No way small reimu is becoming real

2

u/Satorii_Komeji Resident Mind Reader Aug 21 '24

...Oh my.

1

u/SnooPets1368 Aug 21 '24

Who’s next? Previous Miko? Sariel???

1

u/Street-Bug-1722 i love the t-posing dark goober Aug 21 '24

Cute as always

1

u/Akumu9K Aug 22 '24

Oh no…

1

u/Kirb790 Nue Houjuu Aug 22 '24

I swear if they add a smol Reimu next...

1

u/bluejay0916 Aug 22 '24

Now I want either a small Reimu or a big Reimu wearing a mask

1

u/VegetableAd6564 Yuuma's Husband Aug 22 '24

Next we'll get a Miko who looks like Reimu but hides behind a fox mask.

1

u/Busstoelbekleding Aug 22 '24

Whats next

1

u/Pure_Leg_4886 Aug 22 '24
