Recently, I read UFO ReimuA's story again, I think Kogasa's past is interesting. She wasn't thrown away, her owner forgot to take her then no one have picked her up because of her unpopular color, that is the interesting part. Her color is purple, for a object like umbrella dyed purple, it means the owner or creator might appreciate it or it was indeed expensive, because that time, purple dye was rare and costly, moreover it is symbol of aristocracy. So I guess her owner might come from a noble or rick family or a famous artisan. In WaHH, Kogasa is recognized as a talent artisan and blacksmith, because of her creator or she is just that good, she has lived for more than a century, a hard working and pursuit youkai so it is understandable.

A normal tsukumogami usually hold great hatred toward human but Kogasa doesn't, I think she was a loved umbrella and the reason why she turned into a youkai not because of hatred but self-pity, nothing more than a decorated umbrella, not a useful tool. The reason no one picked her, I think because the lower class people didn't understand her value. In UFO, she told Reimu:

"But the pointlessness is what's really beautiful.
It would be terrible if everything in life were all planned out.

Even tools aren't beautiful just because they're functional.
The useless parts are what make us youkai ..."

I think she roasted Reimu that she is just a boor pitch who will never under stand her (Kogasa's) true value. In ReimuB's scenario, Reimu said:"Maybe you're luxury items?", so my assumption above proved what Reimu said is not random.

It took a translator more than a decade to realize "skyscraper" in Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind doesn't indicate a skyscraper but a triangular skysail, and it took me years to understand that Kogasa roasted Reimu in UFO.

I commend your research and theorizing, if only for the revelation of Kogasa roasting Reimu and living to tell the tale

I'm not sure for the Japanese Imperial Family, but I think that in China, purple was exclusively for the Emperor, so Kogasa is very, very posh.

Reimu's behaviour in most canon sources paint her as excessively materialistic: her perpetual frustration regarding her finances, and her unwillingness to put in any extra effort other than short-term ploys that never solve her financial situation durably, are clear indication she doesn't value things like hard work and dedication (well, that one isn't really news to most fans), only money and material possessions that serve a direct, useful purpose. Which is very unbefitting of her position and job as a shrine maiden.

No wonder Yorihime beat her so effortlessly in what is supposed to be her speciality: Reimu severely lacks genuine spirituality.

Image looks nice, thought it was the usual kogasa being defeated...then i saw that her real body, aka the umbrella, was broken and I realized....you just killed her XD

no bulli the polly

I tweaked the final note, changing "danger" to the more literal translation of 敵地 (tekichi) as "enemy territory", since it's ... literally true in this case? The finger was already called an enemy (てき, teki), after all, and now she's crawling *on* the hand.

While you might normally interpret that to mean she's in danger, here we don't truly know that; that depends on the intentions of the hand's owner (and the artist).

red is lovey-dovey

Well then, I guess that means they ship the Aki sisters together

It's still hilarious that despite the meme Marisa still lose to Reimu in term of Harem sizes

I assume the black/red arrows are unrequited crushes, but which side is the crusher and which is the crushee?

Ig the red arrow's opposite side is the one with the crush. For e.g. Koakuma has a crush on Meiling

It is

Nonsense! Not enough arrows pointing to Marisa.

A interesting chart. Sad i dont see mah favorite lil umbrella on it...and the arrows with Cirno make no sense but otherwise looks good.

Bro this is official art lmao

Star: "My strength comes from my mind and the muscles I trained so hard for."

Clumsy Nun: "Oh, god she is stopping being Mrs. Nice Nun and wants to punch us to the stars!"
Spicy Nun: "How to be a good girl... Step 1: Worship Kayne West? Who wrote this?!"

Froggy Nun: "Why is this so heavy?"
Sheep Nun: "A bit too light for me."

I want to see the arm-wrestling contest between Sheep and Star now.

Big G must have gain like a certain humble monk.

Why is this sensitive? Imo her cuts fall under "injuries that don't result in lasting harm".

Because she's wearing nothing but a sarashi on top.

I don't think that cat is Sphinx. Isn't Sphinx a calico? That cat clearly isn't a calico...
Removing the tag, unless someone has evidence to the contrary.

Sphinx is just that cat's name.

Not that I think it'd matter to you, but SoS are pretty much joined at the hip of the Custodes. They're never going to be as popular, nor as well developed. As such, making them distinct and flavorful is the best way to make them stand out. And no, being psychic nulls doesn't make them stand out. Quite the opposite in fact.

'Their mere presence making demon's heads explode makes them not stand out, having a pussy however...'

Sadly typical from Games Workshop, they keep retconning "small stuff", but they don't realize that they're fucking up their lore big time with it. Custodes all being males was used in my circle of friends to "prove" that female Space Marines really were impossible, and that it wasn't just the Emperor not trying hard enough. Now that female Custodes are a thing, I really wonder how Games Workshop can justify female Space Marines not being a thing. And don't get me started on the Sisters of Battles, they're "just" highly trained warrior monks, they aren't the barely humans that the Space Marines are.
For fuck's sake, it's the same shit with Ollanius Pious, he used to be just a man standing against fucking Horus, the first of the Primarchs, the Champion of Chaos, and what Failbaddon wishes he was. Then Games Workshop made him a space marines, then a terminator, then a custode, then finally an immortal, when him being just a man, just one man, was just what the story needed to prove how far Horus was gone, that he would deliberaly kill what was as dangerous as a newborn to him. But no, a normal marine wasn't enough, he had to be bigger and stronger, making him more of a threat to Horus, and making Horus' murder of him less of a gratuitous act and more of an actual self-defense.

Warhammer is wasted on Games Workshop, be it Fantasy or 40,000.

go outside

It's not rocket science. Doing something > doing nothing. I'll take a shining beacon of faith over an off switch any day.

CookieLoop said:

Male nulls exist anyway, you wouldn't need to change the name either, why would it mater to a galaxy-wide empire in the very far future what today's culture around ganders is.
I doubt anyone in the empire would care what the person that's banishing a demon back into the warp's genitalia looks like, or would argue the semantics of what their order is called.

Something like knowing their name will yield an advantage. Semantics matter quite a bit in this kind of battle.

Let's start with do you want a company beholden to their customers or their investors?

It's there a compagny that don't hoist their investors above everything else ?

You either don't know what 'semantics' means, or you missed my point.

The point you just made is 'It can't be called SISTERS of Silence if there's a MALE in it!'.

I've had to work at Walmart before, being a VA is a tough career, and untreated schizophrenia would probably be a bigger problem for her. But for the rest? Yeesh.

I can't scorn people who pick up work I can't imagine myself doing, so teachers, street cleaners or retail employees? Respect. And I mean it, genuine respect.
And yeah, the rest is despicable.

Pretty sure the Walmart thing is a joke. Unfortunately the same can't be said for a lot of things on that list. Girl is seriously messed up in the head.

I say, love the character BUT NOT the person behind it. That person is so despicable that any notion of respect is gone after that funny incident.

Another textbook case of "you guys are assholes I'm leaving!" doesn't actually leave

Said Assholes at you? I'd never say Assholes at you, im sorry. maybe I forgot. Yes, I did say I was leaving but I didn't say how long I would be leaving in this place.

The odyssey had a purpose...

I hope they didn't use "uooooohhhh" on purpose in a hag 🤮

That's just begging for someone to post the dying star copypasta.

Bruh these nijisanjis stole my horns!!! Can't have shit in the Twin Cities smdh

It was decent but a bit disappointing, the whole he rejects kakita but gets rejected by his sister so he goes back for kakita felt kind of like "oh well I guess I'll go for the consolation prize".

Is that even a good stance for punching?
