Touhou Arcana write-up

((So... my internet was out for a few days, and I have been playing Persona 4 Golden for a while, so I decided to do a write up for all the major arcana.

Everyone’s list is very different, SO THERE’S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE DISAGREEMENTS, but if you have any, let me know what you think!

Note: This is strictly going through Arcana descriptions and meanings!

---

0: Fool - Cirno, The Three Fairies The Fool represents innocence, divine inspiration, madness, freedom, spontaneity, inexperience, chaos and creativity.

Aside from the memes of Cirno being an idiot, I couldn’t think of a better tie than these two. (four?) All of them are leaders of their own right, they’re pretty much free to do what they please, and most importantly, creative and inexperienced.

I: Magician - Marisa Kirisame The Magician Arcana is commonly associated with action, initiative, self-confidence, immaturity, manipulation, and power.

THE STAPLE GIRL OF THE MAGICIAN ARCANA, MARISA HERSELF-... She’s the self confident one, immature to a fault, and her whole stick is ‘DANMAKU IS POWER’. So yep, this fits her extremely well!

II: Priestess - Rinnosuke Morichika The Priestess Arcana is a symbol of hidden knowledge or other untapped power, wisdom, mystery and patience when it appears in tarot readings.

Can’t get better than Rinnosuke himself, IMO. Father figure of both Reimu and Marisa, people approach him for wisdom at times and he’s also shrouded in mystery, and not to mention a really patient person.

III: Empress - Hong Meiling, Shinki The Empress represents mothers, prosperity, creativity, sexuality, abundance, fertility, protection, and comfort.

I really don’t have to explaint his one! Meiling is the bind which ties everyone together, as well as Shinki does, not to mention the bit about protection and comfort. There’s no better arcana for a motherly figure.

IV: Emperor - Remilia Scarlet, Toyosatomimi no Miko The Emperor symbolizes the desire to control one's surroundings, and its appearance could suggest that one is trying too hard to achieve this, possibly causing trouble for others; some elements in life are just not controllable.

‘BUT REMILIA IS BEST FIT FOR DEVIL’ you say! Devil’s more of temptation, and Remilia’s more controlling than being the symbol of temptation, and not to mention that she isn’t entirely selfish, actually caring for the residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Either way, both Miko and Remilia do sometimes cause trouble around them (Remilia especially), and not to mention really ambitous.

V: Hierophant - Keine Kamishirasawa, Byakuren Hijiri The Hierophant is a symbol of education, authority, conservatism, obedience to rules and relationship with the divine.

Keine and Byakuren being both teachers in their own right, and also quite lawful as well. Byakuren also gets the extra point of being in a relationship with the divine, being head monk and all.

VI: Lovers - Alice Margatroid, Sakuya Izayoi The Lovers Arcana initially represented two paths life could lead to, and thus a symbol of standing at a crossroad and needing to make a decision.

Between Alice being in Hell with Shinki and choosing her life to be in the forest, as well as Sakuya either being a vampire killer and serving one, I think this fits pretty well!

VII: Chariot - Chen, Yuugi Hoshiguma The Chariot Arcana is a symbol of victory, conquest, self-assertion, self-confidence, control, war, and command.

Ah yes, the arcana usually tied with war gods. Both are self-confident, and these usually have a goal they wish to attain at any cost. In this case, I’d put Chen and Yuugi!

VIII: Justice - Shiki Eiki The Justice Arcana symbolizes a strict allegory of justice, objectivity, rationality and analysis. In tarot readings, it means that one will have to face a trial of their justice.

OKAY I’M SURE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DISAGREE WITH ME ON THIS BECAUSE SHE’S NOT JUDGEMENT-... But Justice is very different from Judgement, which I’ll explain below. But I feel Justice fits Eiki more, as she is the pinacle of rationality and objectivity.

IX: Hermit - Satori Komeiji, Patchouli Knowledge The Hermit is associated with wisdom, introspection, solitude, retreat and philosophical searches.

With Satori being the philosophical mind reader she is, along with Patchouli being the moving library, this is pretty much a big given.

X: Fortune - Tewi, Joon Yorigami The Fortune Arcana is portrayed by the Wheel of Fortune and symbolizes fate, luck, fortune and opportunity.

Can’t get any better than these two, for self-explained reasons!

XI: Strength - Momiji Inubashiri The Strength Arcana is associated with the morality about the stronger power of self-control, gentleness, courage and virtue over brute force. It can also represent creative or physical energy that needs to be or is about to be unleashed, sometimes out of desire to be recognized.

This is not physical strength, but inner strength, and IMO, Momiji is the most self-controlled yet also desires to be recognized by the higher ups for PUTTING UP WITH TENGUS-

XII: Hanged Man - Hina Kagiyama, Medicine Melancholy The Hanged Man Arcana is associated with self-sacrifice for the sake of enlightenment, the bindings that makes one free, paradoxes and hanging between heaven and earth.

Can’t think of anyone else but these two in this category. People in this Arcana are really self-sacrificial, and both of them fit the bill .

XIII: Death - Yuyuko Saigyouji The Death Arcana symbolizes metamorphosis and deep change, regeneration and cycles.

Do I need to explain this :D

XIV: Temperance - Reimu Hakurei, Konpaku Youmu The Temperance Arcana is a symbol of synthesis, prudence, harmony, and the merging of opposites.

No better person than Reimu herself. She’s the Hakurei Shrine maiden, mediator of both humans and youkai, going out to restore order after every incident and to keep the balance in check. Depressing job 10/10.

XV: Devil - Seiga Kaku, Kanako Yasaka The Devil Arcana represents the urge to do selfish, impulsive, violent things, and being a slave to ones' own impulse and feelings. Occasionally, it is also portrayed as a symbol of temptation.

I don’t think I need to explain Seiga, but Kanako literally tempted Okuu with the power of the Yatagarasu so SHE FITS HERE VERY WELL. MORIYA SHRINE CONSPIRACY.

XVI: Tower - Junko, Tenshi Hinanawi The Tower Arcana is commonly associated to overly arrogant, prejudiced and authoritarian organizations, which walk to their own ironic demise. Furthermore, it is also more generically used as an omen of doom and disaster.

The worst card in the deck. This card barely means anything good at all. Both are somewhat prejudiced, and Tenshi fits this arcana like A SHOE.

XVII: Star - Sanae Kochiya The Star Arcana is also commonly associated with hope, self-confidence, faith, altruism, luck, generosity, peace and joy.

Miracles. Faith. Joy. I don’t think I need to explain much about this one!

XVIII: Moon - Reisen Udongein Inaba, Flandre Scarlet, Koishi Komeiji The Moon Arcana is associated with creativity, inspiration, dreams, madness, illusions, fear, fantasy, the subconscious and trickery.

Three of them are quite creative people, with Flandre leaning quite alot into the ‘madness’ part of it. They can also sense things around them without being told, and these three are usually quite in touch with their senses.

XIX: Sun - Utsuho Reiuji, Aya Shameimaru The Sun symbolizes happiness, joy, energy, optimism, and accomplishment. Occasionally, it is also associated with one's initial happiness.

Both of them are just the biggest optimistic and energetic ball of fun you’ll ever meet, and Okuu does her job quite well! Aya... not so much, since her newspaper isn’t very popular-

XX: Judgement - Kasen Ibaraki, Hata no Kokoro The Judgement Arcana is associated with realizing one's calling, gaining a deep understanding of life and a feeling of acceptance and absolution.

You’d expect Eiki here, but Judgement is the reflection of one-self, and accepting who you are. They view the world with infinite possibilities, and I believe Kasen and Kokoro fits this out to the letter.

XXI: The World - Yakumo Yukari, Okina Matara The World Arcana is a representation of the world's totality, the symbol of fulfillment, wholeness and harmony.

Don’t need to explain this, really! Gensokyo is primarily their creation, after all!

Anyways, if you made it this far, thank you very much!))

Touhou!Zane Headcanons

- Early years in Gensokyo, he uses "boku" as his I/me pronoun. After he got his memory back, he alternates between "watashi" and "watakushi". Much later in his life (probably when he hits 900 years old), he switches to a more sophisticated "warawa".

- His you pronoun alternates between "anata" and "sonata".

- Koichi (Touhou!Cole) teases him a lot when he starts using "warawa", as it is - in his words - reserved for old hags.

- Zane spoils Chen more than Ran does to her.

- His favorite food is kusaya jam. He often makes alot, enough to annoy the entire Yakumo household due to its smell.

- During his early days, he often pass out when he's tasked by Yukari to utilize his boundary ability with tasks he's not yet able to master.

- After gaining his memory back, he often plants white higanbana (or the normal red one should he unable to find the white one) near the Yakumo residence every year to cope with his passing in Ninjago. Sometimes, he'll let it float off on Sanzu river instead (which usually got him in trouble with the yama Shiki Eiki). This event is usually called as "Day of White Higanbana" by people around him.

- Zane buys LEGO sets every time he goes out to the Outside World, provided his allowence is sufficing. Ironically, he's often a victim to the "step on a lego" trope.

- His current body was made by the kappas based on Dr. Julien's bluprint of him. Somewhere on his machine, a line "Made by Kappas" is engraved.

- Zane adopts the entirety of Makai residents once he dates Shinki (yes, Alice included).

- Zane found Echo when he decided to revisit his father's lighthouse. Initially planning to take him with him to Gensokyo, he eventually decides to leave him on the lighthouse after Yukari rejected the rusted nindroid in her household. He tries to visit his brother as often as he can after that.

- Zane's voice is rather soft compared to his titanium counterpart yet still sounds mature enough compared to Echo's.

Okay, I might as well tell you folks about a dream I had last night. (If this disgusts you, feel free to tell me how much of a weirdo I am in the notes.)

>In the cafeteria at my school and getting my usual spicy chicken tenders, fries, and ranch dressing. Decide to shake it up with some extra veggies.

>Decide to eat outside for a change.

>Suddenly my ex-girl calls me over to sit with her and her friends.

>8/10, same age, really nice, but we just sort of drifted apart.

>For fucks sake, not this again.

>Reluctantly, I go over. She’s always nice to talk to, but her girlfriends are the literal devil.

>Only two were there, thank God, but they also happened to be two of the most unbearable people I’ve ever met.

>We talk for a few minutes, nothing really that important.

>Ex gets up and goes to the bathroom.

>First girl was doing homework and complaining about her boyfriend. “He never arrives on time for anything, and he never ever calls me back after he goes to bed at 10!”

>Second girl was badmouthing the guy to oblivion, talking about how much of a scrub he was for.

>Pipe up and say “If he’s such a shithead, why don’t you just dump him?” I actually knew the guy. He was a bit of a douche, but he once let me borrow his pencil, so I’m fine with him.

>Both of them stare at me, with white hot anger in their eyes. They slap me in the face, twice each.

>Fourth slap hits so hard, I fall out of my chair and onto the floor.

>Silently scream in agony and frustration. Thankfully no one else really payed attention, though I had a few people ask “is he okay?” and “we should call the nurse”.

>Get up after a minute and stare the girls down, still dizzy from pain.

>Hear the gentle sounds of a “Yahoo!” in the distance, growing ever louder.

>The world around us grows silent.

>One final “Yahoo!” as a man appears with his hands on the stairs, crashing into the handrail.

>The man is SimpleFlips.

>wut

>Simple falls off the rail, with his dick in immense pain, and runs over to me.

>”Tsuki, my son!” he says (not using my real-name for obvious reasons). “We need to BLJ the Thwomp’s Cock!”

>Starting to wonder if this was a dream or not.

>Didn’t have time to think about that as a sweeping bit of music appeared.

>It was a remix of “Necrofantasia” from Touhou with 1, 2, Oatmeal, “Roxanne” by The Police, and 50 Cent’s Candy Shop (the shitty monkey remix), Bonnie Tyler’s “I Need A Hero” (this was the one I heard the most), and a shit ton of Bups.

>Yukari Yakumo enters from a great gap above the sky into my school’s courtyard. She’s fucking giant.

>Everyone was running away. SimpleFlips stared her down.

>SimpleFlips begins a triple jump, which he flawlessly transitions into a dive.

>With anticipation of death in my heart, I chase after him.

>”Do it!” he shouts at me.

>I understood what he meant. I triple jump onto the roof of the school.

>Yukari turns around and looks at me with a seductive gaze.

>Oh shit.

>She takes off her mob cap and pulls Ran out of it.

>She throws her at me.

>I dodge her, but then Ran throws Chen at me.

>I didn’t dodge that time.

>It hurt like a motherfucker, but I was still in good enough condition to search for the Thwomp.

>Look to the other side of the school.

>There it was!

>A Bob-Omb Buddy walked up to me and said “There’s no time to lose! Fly!”

>Suddenly my vision is replaced with a bird’s eye view of a nearby cannon opening up.

>”GO GO GO!” he shouts, and I’m obliged to listen to him.

>Jump into the cannon, and aim myself to the Thwomp.

>Ran and Chen have followed me, and are grabbing onto me.

>Our combined weight causes us to crash into the Thwomp, nearly shattering it.

>SimpleFlips, while he was dodging Mega-Yukari’s onslaught, jumped near the Thwomp. Chen had jumped off of me and onto him, while Ran got a tighter grip on my body.

>”You only have one chance! We must do this on the first try!”

>I understand.

>I steel myself.

>Idiot Sign “Father-Son Backwards Long Jump”

>We BLJ’d into the Thwomp’s Cock. The events of my life played out before me in a series of anime flashbacks.

>The build-up has finished.

>Fly or die.

>We rocketed through the sky, with the Shikigami on our backs..

>Mega-Yukari summoned gaps, and we fell through them. We zipped past every last bit of human history, mythology, religion and pop-culture you could think of. We even soared through a parallel universe called Gensokyo!

>At the end of the nightmare, we popped out of separate gaps, where we slammed into Yukari.

>SimpleFlips lets out a triumphant cry of “FIRST TRY, IDIOT!”

>Yukari spits out a bizarre creature that was hanging out in her mouth and shrinks down, holding me in her arms.

>I didn’t see that when I was in her gaps...

>We looked closer...

>It was him.

>Yes, him...

>Nathaniel Paragoomba Koopa the Quick Scuttlebug Incident-Causing Bandy

>Every goddamn fucking time.

>He looked lost... he was tiny at first, but then he got bigger... and bigger... he was freaking out... the world around me had started growing bigger too.

>Yukari had shrunken me down. She bent down and the Shikigami had followed suit. They looked at me in hunger.

>She picked me up, and called out to the rest of Minus World to come save me if they could.

>She put her mouth to my ear and whispered. “Welcome to Gay Baby Jail, human.” and stuck me in her bra.

>I passed out.

>I woke up in bed the next day.

>I say “What the fuck did I just dream about?”

>Looked outside. It was still dark as fuck.

>Look to my left. My phone has been playing Flower, Sun, and Rain’s soundtrack on repeat.

>Go back to bed.

>Wake up when it’s daylight.

>Eat breakfast.

>Contemplate my experiences as I type this up for all the world to see how much of a creep I am.

How the fuck did this dream even happen?

Remilia losing control of the SDM?

The Scarlet Devil mansions labor troubles have continued to get worse. The ongoing fairy maid strike has turned into an outright mass resignation of much of Remilia Scarlet’s household staff following a large Danmaku battle between the leadership of the strike and Remilia herself.

When asked for comment Remilia would only confirm that the fairies have left her employ and that the Danmaku fight happened. While it is not out of the ordinary for Remilia to refuse questioning about the mansions internal affairs the fairies have proven equally tight lipped about the events of the strike and subsequent mass resignation. When asked about the causes of the strike, Rosemary the former leader of the striking fairies refused to answer any questions telling yours-truly to “Sod off”.

It is still unclear what exactly caused the strike to progress in such a way. The initial strike reputedly started due to poor pay and working conditions in the mansion, although recent information has called the veracity of that into question.

Several rumors have been circulating within the communities that the fairies have since settled into that the strike was in part caused by Remilia being a heavy chain smoker. While it is unknown exactly what effect if any second-hand smoke would have on fairy immortality, large amounts of smoke can’t be pleasant in their work environment.

Another such rumor is that Remilia was into various perverted things. When further questioned about the rumors, the fairies questioned would only confirm the rumors and that it was in someway related to the causes of the strike but would not elaborate further.

Possible coup attempt by Flandre Scarlet

Most of the fairies left to find employment elsewhere in Gensokyo or returned to the forest of magic. However, many were rehired by Remilia’s younger sister Flandre to work in the library. Most notably Cherry who prior to the strike was one of the leaders of the fairies has been retained by Flandre as a personal attendant. When asked for comment, Cherry would only confirm that she was now working for Flandre and not Remilia.

That Flandre now controls the bulk of the remaining staff of the mansion combined with the lack of willingness of any party to speak to the Bunbunmaru has lead some to speculate that this was a silent coup executed by Flandre to seize power over the mansion from her older sister. Leaving Remilia mistress in name only. Flandre may have arranged the strike through fairies loyal to her to force her sister’s hand and cause the mass resignation. Leaving behind only the fairies personally loyal to Flandre.

Unfortunately, the notoriously reclusive Flandre could not be reached for comment by press time.

Ongoing financial troubles

The mansion’s finances are said to have been in a crisis for some time now. Remilia’s most recent attempt to solve this issue by building and opening a water park appears to have been reasonably successful. Despite problems with someone managing to poison the water supply, attendance numbers remained high throughout the summer.

It is unknown as to how much this has helped the mansion’s alleged financial problems. If the problems are still severe, it is possible that the motivation behind Flandre’s coup was to do with Remilia’s mismanagement of mansion finances.

Hot-spring to be renovated

The mountain hot spring near the Moryia shrine is getting remodelled soon. Sources close to the issue say that several cosmetic updates and changes are being planned; notably the removal of the divider between the men’s and women’s side. This effort to repair and remodel the hot spring is being championed by local merchant Rinnosuke Morichika.

Rinnosuke has taken on the care and maintenance of the hot spring in recent months as the Moyria shrine has proven either unwilling or unable to do so themselves. According to Rinnosuke this is because he was asked to clean up the women’s side that had become unacceptably dirty. He is currently drafting plans to overhaul the entire thing and is looking for volunteers to help with the labor.

Divider likely to be removed

The most notable change that is planned for the hot spring is the removal of the divider between the men’s and women’s side. Rinnosuke himself has come out as the sole voice against the idea, others have spoken in favor of the plan.

Removing the divider would bring the bath house’s design more in line with modern ideas from the outside world. The bath house’s guests are mostly female; removing the barrier would also increase the amount of space available to them.

Rumors of scandals

Removing the divider may also reduce the scandalous rumors around the bath house. One such unconfirmed rumor is that Tenshi Hinanawi was seen going into the men’s side. She was allegedly overheard saying “Who needs personal space? Not I. Not you.” in a flirtish voice. Although that rumor is unconfirmed, the fact it’s plausible at all shows how hiding the relatively unused men’s side behind a barrier can lead to such rumors.

Halloween: What even is it?

Halloween is upon us dearest reader! It comes on the 31st of the month every year and brings candy and fear for all.

Don’t know what it is dearest reader? You are not alone, much of Gensokyo is in the dark about what Halloween is. Please allow yours truly to help!

Halloween is a holiday that comes around every year on the last day of October. According to experts it’s a day when mystical boundaries are unusually thin. If you have a spell or other mystical thing you want to do dearest reader, Halloween would be the night to do it.

Further, Halloween has a tradition where youkai go door to door in the village receiving offerings of candy and baked goods, if some unfortunate human does not have any to offer, the youkai can do what they want to the human in retaliation.

Yours truly would like to remind you dearest reader that as nice as the thought of attacking humans in the village might be we still need them, so don’t eat too many.

Some youkai like the darkness youkai Rumia are planning to take full advantage of this years Halloween. When asked what her plans are she said that she’s planning to go to the village in disguise. Not a bad idea if, I think yours truly might have to do that as well.

When asked for her plans, Kaguya Houraisan seemed to be a bit confused about the point. Thinking that the point of Halloween was to deliver candy. Although, she isn’t a youkai or human, so maybe that’s normal?

Chen who you might remember dearest reader is one of Yukari’s many servants expressed regret at missing last years Halloween but didn’t have any specific plans.

Not everyone is getting into the Halloween mood this year, however. When asked about her plans, Flandre Scarlet of the Scarlet Devil Mansion said she didn’t feel that Halloween felt “real”. I think she’s just tired after her coup against her sister.

Whatever your plans are dearest reader, have fun!

Rumor Mill

Yes dearest reader, it is time to give you a quick rundown of all of the celebrity gossip that’s been swirling around lately; and then because the Bunbunmaru isn’t a tabloid, yours truly will give you the missing piece of context that explains the rumor.

-Reimu Hakurei was spotted kissing Chen Yakumo recently. It turns out that a badly loaded “instruction” given to Chen caused her to have a compulsion to do so. It’s unknown if this has something to do with her nature as a Shikigami.

-Iku Nagae and Rinnosuke Morichika were spotted together in the men’s side of the hot spring’s bath house. Technically true, there was nothing untoward going on, however. The women’s side was filthy at the time. She wasn’t the only one doing so, Yukari and fellow tengu Otoha were also spotted there. -Alice Margitroid is a necromancer. This one’s false. Reports were that she resurrected a crow, in truth she was simply building a crow shaped doll.
