Also, I'm seeing some Touhou youtubers get way too serious about the whole OMG SHE'S NOT REALLY DEAD ZUN SAYS CHARACTERS DON'T AGE.
Everyone knows that, deep down, it's just a little memery and fun in the community, relax. It's kinda cool that these sorts of things just kind of spontaneously happen, and because Touhou has such a strong creators' culture, we got a whole load of new fanworks out of it too.
Akyuu's probably gonna go up in the popularity poll this year, lol.
