The SANDY YAKUMO Studies

[Easy Mode]

I saw my first otakukin on an old LJ I used to frequent years ago. I knew it existed, but until now have never seen it for myself.

I was checking up on a really, really old HaseoxEndrance community. Yes, I used to be a .hack yaoifag. Sixth and seventh grade, everyone has a past to be a little ashamed of. Now, this guy (or girl, but it is the internet we're talking here) really, truly believed they were Endrance from .hack//GU. But what I didn't understand the most is why the fuck he wasn't ostracized for that batshit mentality.

So here's my plan. I'm going to go into a site pretending to be an otakukin Touhou. Who should I pretend to be and where? Touhou seems to be untouched by this terrifying shit so far, so I'd thought I'd try it myself.

Will it be as accepted  just as other, more popular series are? Or will it receive a nasty response?

If I do do it, I'll document my findings here.

Also, let me clarify. We are not talking men who wish to be the little girl. That's all the Touhou fandom really is. We are talking men who really believe that they are the physical/mental reincarnation of the little animu girl. I can't make this shit up, these people are fucking nuts.

Urban Dictionary:
1. otakukin
The horrible, fiery collision of the otaku and otherkin subcultures. I.e., people who believe they are somehow involved with/reincarnated from the souls of anime/video game characters. Japanese pop culture is literally their religion. And no, it's not a joke. They are the ultimate illustration of how utterly batshit insane the Internet has become.


Fantastic example!
THIS IS THE STORY OF SANDY

Hi there! My name is Sandy, but that isn't why I'm here.

I am the Earth plane #183 incarnation of Ran Yakumo.

See, what I believe is that at one time, I was the proud, beautiful Ran Yakumo, happily serving under Yukari Yakumo on the boundaries , Gensokyo plane #46. Nowadays, I channel Ran in everything I do.

I am Ran Yakumo. Today, tomorrow, and in the past. I do not speak for myself, as she speaks for me. XP Yukari is my sleepy mistress, as she has always been, and I now reside spiritually on the borders of Gensokyo.
I am the kitsune shikigami of Yukari, along with Chen. I am more than content to pull Chen close and give her a hug with my tails. All nine of them. ^^ She is a neko!! Sometimes, her nails are rather sharp so I have to be careful.

You may be asking how I was born in another body. Now, more than eight hundred years ago, I was born as a regular fox. But later, I began life as a kitsune! Through the Andromedean Adonis plane, #120, my soul was put into this human body. To this day, I still live my regular life as myself, but sometimes Sandy's cumbersome human body gets in the way. It's okay though! ^^ The Mother Goddess just made a mistake and put me in the wrong plane. One day, I will leave Sandy's body and merge us into one!!

Sandy is my host body. She lives in Omaha, NE, a silly human town, and is 24. Yukari comes to visit every day, as she is the only one that can let me use the special Gensokyo computer in the human world! Sandy works as a mail clerk at her mom's office and lives in an apartment with her goldfish Youmu and Yuyuko. Many times I have tried to eat them! They sure do look tasty!!

Sometimes I feel as though the human world doesn't understand me. The shift from Gensokyo to here is quite a big one, so I am hoping I can make friends and even more with those who aren't humans!

Sandy and I thank you for letting us introduce me!

ALL AS YAKUMOSANDY

I will update this post with each big movement!

[Hououin Kyouma]

Hey, stop making fun of me, mode >:<

[Serela]

Aliiiiice. You know you want to.

Then again, Reimu/Marisa/Sakuya would probably be more likely recognized by people who don't know Touhou.

[dustyjo]

Ran Mokou.

[orinrin]

That would be an interesting read.  It is kinda hard (for me at least) to pretend to be an otakukin since we do not fully understand their mentality and reasons for doing such things.  Maybe you could pretend that Yukari border-hacked her soul into you or something.

Maybe they just want attention.  :-

Edit:  Would this be considered "role-playing"?
 

[Slaves]

Alice.

stutter every word.

[Chaore]

I uh.

Hmm.

Joke Ideas- Mima, Rin Satsuki. (I've not returned/never showed up because I've been here!)

Stretch- Dreamwhores (Apply Yukari=Maribel logic here)

Funny/Whocaresitstouhou- Everyone else.  :V

[Kuma]

Be Alice, but the cool, Cold bitch who hates everything and everyone Alice.

OR SHOU, BE SHOU. BE HIPHOP SHOU TORAMARU.

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

SNF Iku.

Or be like canon-Alice.

[Chaore]

Be Alice, but the cool, Cold bitch who hates everything and everyone Alice.

Alternatively, Alice mc 'My doll has a fucking razor and death glares with me. Bring it.'

Actually, Convincing yourself you're Alice by doll obsession and tsundere attitude seems the MOST plausible, of all characters.

[Easy Mode]

I'm getting a lot of "who"s, which is nice.


But I'll need some "where"s first. :>

[Kuma]

Be from Jersey, We have giant robots!

[Chaore]

Where? Small apartment littered with all kinds of dolls.

Possibly somewhere pretty but with a lot of trouble. You make a false mental case?

Make it -believable-.

[Easy Mode]

I kinda like the Jersey idea.

Why would the reincarnation of Alice live in Jersey?


I can handle the rest of the bio myself.




But now I need a place to start my testing. A web site.

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

Who says you need a reason? ;3

[Kuma]

Your parents own a dress factory, and your mommy showed you how to sew wittile dwesses for your dowwies.

Make it hinted that you are either in a speshul ed class, or a mental institute.

[Easy Mode]

No, this is going to be a person who lives a "normal" life. Stereotypically normal.

[Chaore]

Aside from the OBVIOUS issue, I'd assume.  :V

[E-Nazrin]

Well this is new.

Make sure there isn't a Touhou character there already!

And my recommendation is Nameless Fairy. A transitory body before respawning.

[Kuma]

Be as NORMAL as possible. Don't complain that no one understands you, say that your parants love and support you.

Maybe at one point you can begin to suspect that one of the people you live near is Marisa?

[Easy Mode]

How about Dstyle? Seems like a good enough cesspool of fuckery.

[Gpop]

Oh my god Dstyle. After going there in there spam subforum I knew why Myon posted like an idiot.

[Drake]

Don't bother with D-Style, they'll just ban you, probably.

[Kuma]

Start with DA. Maybe an LJ community?

[Kilgamayan]

I wouldn't pretend to be from any location other than Nebraska, because a simple IP check will bust you immediately.

No proxies? >:

[E-Nazrin]

No proxies? >:

Do you really want the hassle?

[Kuma]

So, Are you just going to roll with what goes on, or do you have an evil plot for how it'll all go down?

[Easy Mode]

I do have a plan. Kinda.

[Hello Purvis]

Kilga beat me to it. All you have to do is forget your proxy once. And they're a pain anyways. But if you want some Jersey, you can always claim you moved to Nebraska from there.
