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.

The Christmas Day of the Impoverished Otaku

Lonely Christmas no more: Eating and playing Pocky games with Palette. Then again, considering she’s my mascot (a “moefied” version of myself), does it mean I’m actually playing with myself?

It’s Christmas Day. Christmas Eve has gone by, along with the food, booze, gifts, and greetings to go with it, and the rest of the day seems to promise a more joyous celebration. And for us, the day moves on with our loved ones, both real and fictional. No Santa costumes here, no reindeer costumes either. I want my Christmas simple, but creative. Who knows? It just might add a personal touch of fandom. Works for me, so it should work for you too.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Oh, and if you want to play Pocky games with Palette yourself, here’s her image file. If Palette seems a bit “off” to you, try Reimu, or Alice.

Strike Witches x Touhou by 藤島製１号

To be frank, I don’t know where I started to like the genre of mecha-musume. The very first instance, if I remember correctly, was when Bubblegum Crisis started airing alongside Gundam shows, curious on the idea of busty girls wearing thick, sexy, tight-fit armor. Before I knew it, was browsing for mecha-musume pictures, and was enslaved by this certain unknown artist that I can’t remember anymore (and no, he’s not Shimada Fumikane of Strike Witches fame). He drew mecha-musume for old models of tanks and planes, which only deepened my liking for the genre. That was the very first time that I loved the idea of combining the charm of a girl and the spunk of a machine. Like how Seihou is West and Touhou is East, this fanaticism for technology became parallel with my love for fantasy and the supernatural.

Sharing the impoverished times together, more than a year on this place, more than six years in entirety.

It’s been a very long while. I haven’t changed that much regarding my liking for the game. More like time makes it pass that I was almost on the verge of forgetting it. But no matter. I always upheld my support for the Impoverished Miko, and as the Impoverished Otaku, I think I should carry on with it.

Touhou never fails to mesmerize people with its beautiful patterns, hard-as-concrete difficulty, witty characters, and supernatural storyline. Touhou creator ZUN opened his universe for the fans with expectations that the people who appreciate his work would understand and patronize them more than he can. What he expected happened, but he didn’t expect something as grandslam as his legacy is as of now.
