You know, the "Reimu's broke" jokes are usually funny & all, but this is just mean. For pity's sake, you'd think somebody would feed her! Yukari, Marisa, Sanae, somebody!
As others commented the worst part is how it actually happens in the real world. A small comfort is knowing that Reimu's situation is not this hopeless, but I know that does not help much.
Astrojensen said: I know it's just a drawing. I think of myself as a man of logic and reason.
So why does this hurt my heart so badly?
You're a human. Those who snort at feeling sad for a picture are not so much.
You hear that? That's the sound of my heart breaking into a trillion uncountable pieces. The other sound you just heard was each piece exploding into a trillion, raging supernovas.
I locked and duct-taped my heart some time ago, not unlike Koishi with her third eye But this...who is responsible for this? *Reads tags again* shoegaze, I commend you for being the first artist to really get me to feel saddened by an image.
This from a guy who just walked out of the Soul-Crushingly Depressing pool... *looks again* wait, how did I pass this on my run through there?
It'd be an interesting story on whether or not this happens before Reimu becomes a Shrine Maiden.
If it's before, she was a normal yet poor girl living in the street of (relatively) modern days. If it's after then either she is already replaced and not a Hakurei shrine maiden anymore or Gensokyo is destroyed.
