Tinkering with The World’s Strongest Meme, gear by gear by gear…

As I go through my backlog of blog posts, tweets, images, and e-mails, I noticed that almost 85% of the stuff I have are Touhou-related. Well, that’s fine, really. What I further noticed is the blatant display of memes and character deviations that appeal to the typical Remilafag Reimufag Touhoufag‘s fancy.

Silence, then a surge of sudden curiosity on the matter at hand, which is what this post is all about.

Two years.

For two years, I didn’t think of playing Touhou Kaeidzuka (東方花映塚, though most of you know it as Phantasmagoria of Flower View, or simply PoFV ). All those short sessions back then were something out of boredom. Now that I’ve picked up the pace, I played it again, and here’s what I got:

Pure, unadulterated… VICTOLY!

It’s like Touhou Nekomata: You can show how you’re rabidly cute… WITH A CHAINSAW.

The game is moving in a steady phase somehow. Because of that, the blogosphere suddenly questioned a certain factor that makes us what makes us. Strength? Rage? Depth? Mindless Inclination? Rabid Determination? Surely, this goes beyond preference, depth, and the different ways to achieve satisfaction from the fandom, yes? So what about it?

Now,  do go on, don’t mind me. I’m just a weird person who’s smiling wickedly by itself while watching attempts of camaraderie.

It’s been a while since I last found myself reading Saturnity’s grand enlightenment again. Now, it’s safe to say I can gladly blame him for concocting another pastime for myself: Observing fanclubs. And judging by the streak it’s making, it’s as interesting as your usual dose of Internet dorama. I’m not going to force you guys to take this ride, but I do appreciate if you hear me out on how the ride’s going so far.
