I made an autumn banner for @TouhouCalendar on Twitter a short while ago.

Man, Touhou vote really needs to expand the character vote option. 7 just feels so cramped nowadays. Anyways, here's the google translated names of the newbies (and th18). It gave up on Yuuma and Hisami's name is amazing. FYI at the time of writing this, you still have 6 days to vote.

How did u got into touhou and art?

I found Touhou while randomly browsing the Internet, found the endless amount of fanarts, and ended up hooked and hyperfixated. As for art, I've always liked drawing stuff. Touhou just made it easier to get topics.

Marisa and Reimu, Bouba and Kiki

So, a few days ago I randomly thought about Reimu and Marisa and how circular (aka bouba) their vibes are and got curious how people think about their vibes and which of them is more kiki/bouba. I made a poll to test things. Turns out it's surprisingly well balanced, aka divisive. (www.tumblr.com/giantcavemushroom/721149862573490176)

For explanation: bouba/kiki are nonsense words used for a study/test of people's tendency to associate speech sounds to visual shapes. They found out that, across language and culture, bouba is round and kiki is sharp. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect)

I actually put two polls in tumblr and Twitter. Though the results balanced out overtime, the poll results in the sites were actually initially opposite of one another. With Twitter thinking Marisa is more bouba and tumblr thinking Marisa is more Kiki. It balanced out in the end. initial:

later:

Interesting comments that came up/ I came across include people very determined that Marisa is kiki, the bouba of the yin-yang orb, the bouba/kikiness of Reimu and Marisa's clothes, and that they switched places on the shift from PC98 to Windows.

Overall, interesting results. I think Marisa's more Bouba myself.

I felt the urge to draw Marisa, so I drew one of her sprites in th19.

What happens if Marisa finds you in your cave?

I am collected. I am chopped. I am grilled. I am sauteed. I am delicious and full of nutrients
