Can I do it on MoTK?

Yes.

Which board do I post it on if I can?

Akyu's Arcade. See the front page of the site for more information on what the boards are for.


How should I structure the screenshots (as in how many can I have in one post, etc.)?

Images, as per the Rules board, are to be 640x480. There's no specific limit for the number of images you can have in a post, but just don't go nuts with like 20 screenshots in a single post or something.

Sounds to me there might be elements from a bunch of different songs thrown in and an overlying melody. There are a few parts where it seems similar to things like Evening Star, and the saw wave part sounds like Dream Express. In any case, I don't think there's an original.

There is a rather large resemblance. It's pretty radically different from the other remixes though (who usually sticks to the style of the original), so I guess they went crazy on this one and made a half-original theme.

Oh hey, I loaded up IN to check on the rabbits again.

Stage 5 started with a bunch of high mobility enemies (always moving, 3 facings) who have rabbit ears and no wings. Every enemy after that is a low mobility enemy (always facing front, fixed movement, has a small magic circle) with wings.

At very least, we can now confirm the first wave of enemies as rabbits. And it's easy to conclude that the enemies after them are all intended to be rabbits. But why do those rabbits have wings?

All rabbit sprites are modified fairy sprites. Perhaps without wings, the animation cycle of those rabbit sprites would look very weird, a problem that doesn't exist for the first wave of rabbits, who moved constantly and may change their facings. So instead of drawing new rabbit sprites that look natural, ZUN kept the wings on them.

Momiji's MoF profile states that she's able to see up to 1000 li/ri ahead, which would translate into anywhere from 400 to 2400 miles.
Is Gensokyo even big enough for that?

Probably not. Although I cannot find any direct evidence, using Japanese li, 4000km is longer than Japan itself.

The Yatsugatake mountain range itself is about 30km north to south, which would be a rough rough rough rough estimate of Gensokyo's size (i.e. from around there to 100km, but probably less).

Ok, so I have a Touhou OC, so I have two questions that are relevant to her.

1. First, my OC is a homunculous. Her personality is logical, emotionless (she'll 'learn' emotions later), and she's fairly ignorant in subjects that don't involve science or mathematics, including social skills.

 Would my character be regarded as...
A) As if she were exactly human, although maybe as a bit weird.
B) As a sort of yokai race that would be considered 'human' and not viewed as suspicion (like the Lunarians, or theranthropes like Keine).
C) As a sort of midway point neither hated by humans nor hunted by yokai (such as yokai-human crossbreeds like Rinnosuke)
D) Considered to be your stock yokai, so far as the human-yokai dynamic is concerned.

2) If she's considered to be human, then quick question. My character only recently arrived in Gensokyo (she was created during a brief spike in belief in alchemy and homunculi, and ended up in Gensokyo when it wained). So she doesn't know much about the human-yokai dynamic. Therefore, she has concluded: "If  some yokai see humans as being different enough from themselves to be food, then it is perfectly acceptable for me to kill and eat any yokai who tries to kill and eat me. Turnabout is fair play." I was wondering what the general opinion would probably be from humans, and possible consequences from her eating the yokai that try to hunt and kill her.

I'm pretty sure she'd just be considered a youkai.

Notably, very few (if any) youkai actually hunt, so the whole eating scenario is a bit implausible. They're supplied food in Gensokyo's current state.

If you define homunculus as "human created artificially via alchemy", then it's pretty likely that most people (or rather, most non-people) will regard her as an artificially-created human. Something that seems human but isn't quite so. Probably not full-on youkai, though. Humans themselves are probably not quite as perceptive so they'll probably think she's just a rather strange human.

I'm not really sure if killing youkai is something you can do in the first place.

Rough indeed, as Gensokyo's Yatsugatake is taller than Mt. Fuji...I don't know if that would affect that estimate at all though.


Also, is it ever stated as to how long youkai generally live?

Varies, just as other youkai characteristics. Don't know about younger youkai, elder ones are thousands of years. So, Yukari is 1,200 at least, Watatsukis are about 1500, Eirin is "hundred of millions"...
But generally, since youkai don't advance, there's not much difference in, say, Yuyuko's thousand and Remilia's 500.
Stronger youkai usually manage to live longer. Though, we probably can say, e.g. Cirno is elder than Suika, since she represents cold, and cold is oh so ancient thing, while oni cannot be older than the japaneze people.

It's difficult to say whether or not fairies actually exist for as long as their natural phenomenon does. It wouldn't be very wise to take the extra step in asserting as such.

So if someone kills Cirno all the cold from Gensokyo will end?

So, how fast is Aya exactly? I know for one that Youmu is very fast. Her spellcards "Blind Cut "Roukan's Bullet-Cutting Third Eye" and "200 Yojana in 1 Slash" seem to indicate that she can indeed move at very high speeds. Nevertheless, Aya is still 'the fastest in Gensokyo'.  I take it that Aya moves at hypersonic (if not greater) speeds?

Not sure if there's even an official source for her being "the fastest in Gensokyo". She is certainly considered fast among other tengu though (PMiSS article).

Something like that shouldn't be taken at face value, though. If such a moniker existed, Aya might only be the de facto "fastest in Gensokyo" just because she's fast in general.

At some point you have to wonder how to compare speed when said maximum speed are basically impossible to capture in Gensokyo. More than that, you need to wonder how useful that extra speed even is, if it's useful at all. I'd focus more on related skills that compliment that speed, such as reaction time and reflex, acceleration, control, decision-making speed; stuff like that. Your speed is useless if you can't use it appropriately.

There's an official scene somewhere (I think Silent Sinner in Blue?) that goes something like this.

Remilia:  I'm the fastest and strongest in Gensokyo!

Reimu:  I don't know. I thought Aya was the fastest.

Marisa: And Suika's really really strong.

Remilia:  Shut up!


I forget where else it was brought up, if it was.
