ParaMay Day 3: Childhood
Here's a moodboard of your favourite wannabe protagonist that actually had a decent childhood: Sasami!
So, what's going on here? Sasami's childhood was very happy, actually. Their brother was still around, so he had a really prominent role in that time.
He was a baseball player (captain of his team, even), so Sasami's childhood was full of baseball: playing baseball with her brother at the local park, watching his games, drinking soda from a vending machine on their way home. Yeah, happy times.

Random question time! Which para cusses the most? When did they start cussing, what influenced the habit? Who cusses the least and why? Has the para who cussed the least heard the para who cussed the most cuss? What’s their reaction? Is there a compromise when it comes to communication between the two?
alright, I think I can do this with varying degrees of depth for my most active paracosms (warriors of halcyon, under the sakura trees and the to.uhou one), so buckle up, because this will be long!
everything is under the cut!
Warriors of Halcyon
The swears the most award goes to... Yuri!
When she started working as an idol, her agency had this rigid set of rules she had to follow all the time (just like what happens irl). and one of the rules is "don't swear". she really respected this rule everywhere but, with the decrease of overall care about everything, she started using cuss words. and now that's pretty much the way she normally talks (when she doesn't have her work facade on, of course).
The swears the least award goes to... Kagura!
I'm feeling like this was kind of expected lmao. anyway, she takes anything language very seriously. so, because of this and, y'know, the whole "having spent your whole life around a very formal atmosphere" thing, she not only doesn't cuss, but she hates it too!
as for communication between these two, I don't think they talk that much anyway, but if they did talk and Yuri was comfortable enough not to appear all happy go lucky, Kagura would probably end up correcting Yuri's speech and she, on the other hand, would tell her to shut the fuck up.
and I think that, if they reached a compromise, it'd most likely be Kagura not being annoying about Yuri's cussing habit.
Another para that doesn't cuss at all is Ririka.
she doesn't really know how to use those words and even has trouble with detecting them mid conversation. she doesn't mind Yuri or any other team member cussing, she's just confused by it. the rest of warriors of halcyon try to explain to her what those words mean and what they convey, in those cases.
Under the Sakura Trees
The swears the most award goes to... Yoshie!
this cast doesn't really have a lot to offer when it comes to regular cussers(?), but Yoshi probably takes the cake.
she didn't swear at all during her high school times (her attitude was like the one Kagura has lmao), but she did become more laid back when she got to college, so she tried cussing among friends. now, she does so regularly and effortlessly! it kinda gives her a sensation of freedom that her past self didn't have!
The swears the least award goes to... Nami!
oh wow, would you look at that, the two extremes are in the same family.
so, Nami doesn't like to cuss, but she doesn't hold a visceral hate towards it like Kagura does. she just doesn't like it, and finds it lowkey annoying. that's it.
Yoshi tries really hard not to cuss in front of Nami (cuz "oh no, I have to be a good role model for my younger sister"), but this isn't to say that it hasn't happened before.
the most likely scenario for this to happen is if something goes wrong (eg. forgetting something on the oven, stubbing your pinkie on a corner of furniture, that kind of stuff). in these cases, cue in Yoshi cussing the shit out of everything. then she realises Nami was, in fact, in the room, abruptly stops and starts apologizing. Nami, of course, doesn't think of the words are a problem (she's probably way more concerned about whatever went wrong lmao)
Land of Spirits (T.ouhou paracosm)
The swears the most award goes to... Marisa!
Easy choice. Marisa swears pretty much CONSTANTLY. I don't really have much of a clue as to why she does or when she started. I guess that's just the way she is.
The swears the least award goes to... Patchouli!
I guess she's a mix between Kagura and Nami on this. She doesn't like it, finds it annoying, but not that annoying. She spends her time reading instead of talking to others anyway, so there's that.
as the game shows, the ordinary magician profoundly annoys our sickly librarian. Patchy finds Marisa's cussing (and her way of talking in general) a nuisance. if there were to be a compromise between these two, maybe it would be Marisa toning down a bit.
and yeah, that's it!! thanks a lot for the ask and for your time reading this! I hope you're having a nice day!

Warriors of Halcyon: Background Paras
My segment for paras that aren't in the main story per say, but that matter a lot to establish backstories and world lore
#1: Aoyama Hiroyuki
Tumblr media Tumblr media
tw: mentions of suicide
this is Sasami's deceased older brother. Their age difference was about 4 years or so. When he was alive, he was the captain of a baseball team. He was an optimistic and energetic guy, who always seemed determined facing life's hardships. He was a major role model for Sasami, teaching her most of her inner values and even sharing his passion for baseball with her. In fact, both of them played this sport together very often.
Hiroyuki committed suicide for reasons nobody seemed to know. This event deeply scarred Sasami, who became depressed, not even having the motivation to leave her room for some months. After that, though she still didn't go to school, she passed her time wandering through the city alone or at the arcade playing games. Sasami only started properly going to school again after meeting Ririka.

A brief description
Sakura might look like she's a bubbly person, judging from her attire, but that is quite far from the truth. If you take a closer look, you'll find a girl always devoid of energy, emotion and patience. She is dead inside, quite literally.
┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✧ㆍ┈ㆍ┈
Background
Sakura had a fairly normal life. She slowly started not being able to track time that well, but periods of time distortion aren't that out of the norm.
What is, though, is that, one day, she found solid evidence that she, Oidara Sakura, had already died a decade ago, without even realizing. Looking for answers about her existence and life, Sakura became a magical girl.

A brief description
Kyou has an interesting combination of characteristics. He appears to be very cheerful and naive, even jokingly teasing his friends, but he possesses an analytical mind unrivaled by many. That was what allowed them to attain a position as a magical warrior, outsmarting the system. He is also very fond of the artistic side of things, often spending time with nature. He is currently a concert pianist.
┈ㆍ┈ㆍ✧ㆍ┈ㆍ┈
Backstory
[In progress...]
He hung around the Rune Association since his early life, where he met his childhood friend, Miyamoto Kagura. He used to visit her in the library, often making her company. He'd also manage to get her out of there, oftentimes strolling through the association's grounds or playing songs on the piano to her.
He became a magical warrior after exploiting a loophole in the contract rules with the help of the now Grand Rune Master Kagura. Both of them also created the team Ex Libris.

alrighty!! I'll finally be sharing this paracosm that's very dear to me: Warriors of Halcyon!!
it takes place in a world where, after experiencing a very traumatic event, one is given the chance to become a magical warrior. these warriors fight against monsters to protect the world.
this status used to be only given to girls (like in any magical girl anime), but it became a little bit more open after someone managed to outsmart the system.
but why would anyone sign up for this? well, being a magical warrior appears to those who can attain it as a way to start a new life, since a very important part of theirs probably ended already. also, the system offers some advantages (which I still need to think of)
it is common for these warriors to form teams, usually made up of four members.
of course, there's much more to it than this. but like, way much more. I'll make more organized lore dumps in the future (as well as introduce the paras)
also, this song below is what I like to call this paracosm's "main theme"
