They seem pretty cynical and selfish, all except for magatama girl. I've said this already but the new girls have such high bastard energy, which tbh is kind of offputting to me. As per Kanako's suggestion, it'll be a market where people barter with each other while dodging giant logs that Kanako and co. "A somewhat-exasperated Sanae asks what they've been talking about, and Chimata tells her that they've agreed to hold her next market at the Moriya Shrine. Clarste speculated she might be being set up for a bigger role in a later story, so maybe she’ll be further developed there. She seems kinda pretentious and a bit rude, but I could see ZUN siding with her as far as “art for art’s sake”, seeing as she just likes to make magatama for the hell of it, not for any personal gain. I’m not sure if Misumaru is supposed to be “in the right” or not. Patchouli figured out how the Ability Cards worked, so she’s satisfied. Everyone kinda wins there, with Chimata having a market festival at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, which has been painted entirely rainbow to celebrate. I’d say the happiest ending is the Sakuya one. Tsukasa says Kanako will turn a blind eye to anything as long as she’d benefit from it, then backpedals and says that’s a good thing for the peace on Youkai Mountain. Of course, part of this is Tsukasa manipulating her a bit. She seems to be more disillusioned than back in the late 2000s, and it’s mentioned she’s become a bit suspicious of her own shrine. It seems like, based on the snide remarks Sanae made back in Lotus Eaters, and both of her endings here, she might not be as devout of a follower of Kanako as she used to be. Looking deeper into some of the endings from Touhou 18 oh and also, yeah, still doing this solo, for some reason. i still intend to finish what i started whether or not i have someone else to help me out. Don’t worry though, this is not an admission of defeat or anything like that, just me airing out my frustrations and feelings of inadequacy. i already feel like i’m hitting a brick wall in terms of my dialogue sense after 4 months.
i can’t believe that Clarste kept this up for so many years. I know how she speaks in Japanese, i know how she should sound like in English, but when I try to think how a grandma would say the lines, i just keep drawing a blank. the best example of this is probably Mamizou. I read the dialogue, i have no problem understanding the Japanese, I have no problem parsing it into English, but when it comes to actually writing down what i got from the dialogue into words on the page, i can’t seem to get it right. i already knew it was bad, bad i didn’t quite realize how miserable it is. You know, the longer i do this, the more inadequate i feel about my writing skills. In conclusion, I don't see her as a Dragon dragon, she's more of a separate species to me (even if her parents were dragons) that has both dragon and tortoise qualities, but I think the myths leave it up to interpretation.? Sort of.?Įarly translation for chapter 24 of Lotus Eaters. It also has this image of them, which I think is cool and I also think there’s a 70% chance that ZUN used it as a reference for Yachie. This one also describes them a beings with a snake head and a turtle body. The other source I found is this website, that gives a pretty detailed description of them, and it says (from what my translator understood) that when a dragon lays two eggs one of them will become a dragon, and the other a jidiao, which Would make Yachie a dragon technically.? But like a lesser dragon I suppose, the rest of the article wasn’t kind to jidiao. So, from the point of view of non-touhou mythology she’s even less of a dragon fhgfjgh "He cited a related species mentioned in medical texts, the Jidiao, which has a turtle’s body and a snake’s head." On I found the text transcript of the book A Chinese Bestiary by Richard E. Recently I found this ask where Clarste, a translator said that it's easiest for us to view her as a type of dragon, but a jidiao IS its own species. She's a Chinese cryptid called jidiao (吉弔) that's described as a tortoise with the head and tail of a dragon, which is what the wiki says. So this ask sent me digging and here's what I found: Wait i thought yachie was a dragon? just a turtle one
