Maybe my question seems too common but I base it on several observations that I have made
Over time, otaku culture has greatly gained by popularizing anime and manga in particular, even if I observe in many other areas that communities are growing over time. I see a lot of young people who are interested in vocaloids, visual novels, cosplay etc via Titkok
However, I find that the community aspect has been largely neglected. I'm not necessarily talking about having people to talk to but rather about creating original content around otaku culture.
I have the impression that today it's the same content produced over and over again on the internet because of the evolution of algorithms

Have I just become too old and therefore can't see the positive in what's new? After all we are all a bit old here, there must be few people under 25

However, I notice a change and I wonder how today a young person aged between 15 and 22 can access culture in a passionate way rather than seeing the elements as entertainment separated from all History, all genres and all the elements that constitute this culture.

I honestly thought the thread would've fallen off by now too, but you're welcome I suppose. Other posts have decent points I didn't cover as well but I'm glad my small essay was of some minor worth after all.
I really don't think I'm all that knowledgeable with some of this stuff but I also have a bad habit of constantly underestimating myself so (shrug).

Wife this, wich 2hu wud u fuk that, all topics done to death. I now ask the real questions for you to answer some or all.

Which shrine (or temple/wherever else) will you marry your beloved at? Why did you choose that location?
Who is invited?
Is it a western or eastern style wedding (or both)?
If presenting something like rings, are you settling for no less than the best (dragon gems, hihi'irokane, other magic meta materials) or keep it simple/affordable?
Do you plan it on an auspicious day? Do you have a preferred season?
What are your vows?
Did you save yourselves for the bridal bed?
Premarital sex is a great possibility for some 2hus (Beasts, Tengu, Sanae), if yes to the former how did you avoid it? If no, is it a shotgun wedding?
Are there any risks (weather, party crashers, impromptu Spellcard duel etc.) to account for?
Will there be cake?

Which shrine (or temple/wherever else) will you marry your beloved at? Why did you choose that location?
I'd go for an orthodox church, now as to which one i'd have to consider that with her, we'd have to take into account how many people would come, the logistics of the after party, and all of that, i don't think i have much of a preference, besides that it is practical and fits our needs.

Who is invited?
From my side i'd say my family and friends, just the more direct ones that i interact in an at least monthly basis. From her side, given her position i can guess that a lot of people may want to come to her wedding, so up to her how many she wants to allow, and which would be properly invited by her, and if she doesn't want too many to come, then i can also take charge of rejecting those she thinks aren't as close to her. But with that same thing in mind, i think i'd follow the advise i've read online of having a smaller wedding for us, and then have one or two bigger parties for the rest of the people.

Is it a western or eastern style wedding (or both)?
The main ceremony should be as instructed by the church, but the afterwards i think can be a mix of both.

If presenting something like rings, are you settling for no less than the best (dragon gems, hihi'irokane, other magic meta materials) or keep it simple/affordable?
Hard to say, personally i dislike consumerism, so i wouldn't lean on things like overly expensive diamonds, but at the same time i'd like to give her the best of the best, so perhaps something that can justify it's price or is more of an unique piece for her. Or if she had any preference then i'd also listen to that.

Do you plan it on an auspicious day? Do you have a preferred season?
I can see both of us overthinking the exact day a lot, but generally for the season i think i'd lean to something like fall or perhaps winter, again we'd have to see where is the wedding location, or the one for the parties, and try to get a season that won't be too troublesome like being too windy or rainy, nor too troublesome in general like being too sunny or hot.

>Who is invited?
Family (which may or may not be null set in practice) and the closest friends for the ceremony. For any celebration thereafter, anyone who genuinly promises to behave. Any vague provactions or long-held grudges need to be postponed or no entry. But wedding is supposed to be one, if not the happiest moment of life, and I believe one should share joy to as many as one can. So, for the party, everyone.
>If presenting something like rings, are you settling for no less than the best (dragon gems, hihi'irokane, other magic meta materials) or keep it simple/affordable?
I am not sure. Obviously the costs have to be calculated into this, but even on symbolic level I am torn. I am but a moment compared to her. One way is to give something intricate, that will stay as an impressive testament to our time together, long after I am gone. But maybe something simple, that will merely help her return to memories of us instead of overshadowing them, would work better?
>Do you plan it on an auspicious day? Do you have a preferred season?
Autumn would be preferable. But I assume we go with traditional japanese calendar, and if that's the case, then I have no specific day in mind. Equinox, maybe?
>What are your vows?
If I tried to write them down, I would have never been pleased with the results. So I will spare myself time and pass on this one.
>Did you save yourselves for the bridal bed?
I think so, touhou games are prime example that struggle is what makes success pleasant, and likewise waiting to consummate will make it feel much better.
At the time of posting, at least I am still going.
>Premarital sex is a great possibility for some 2hus
Slander. But...

This is an ongoing communal story with a comedic tone. A poster advances the story by posting an image accompanied with a description or light narration. Then another poster advances the story from there and so on. Participation is open so feel free to jump in and contribute.
A few rules and guidelines:
* This is an image-driven story. Advancing the story needs a suitable image posted alongside.
* Suitable images are usually modifications of a previous image. Original images are fine as long as they fit the story.
* Drawings, doodles and/or shoops are fine. Your art only needs to be clear enough for others to understand what is happening.
* Feel free to request the thread to wait if you're worried someone else will advance the story before you finish your own piece. Please finish within a few days of making your request.
* It's encouraged to keep images simple so others may easily modify them. White backgrounds are ideal for their simplicity but not required.
* Advancements should feel like steps and not leaps. No sudden timeskips or abrupt scene shifts please!
* Please avoid gore and excess blood.
* Reading the previous threads is strongly encouraged.

mima goes to ask for help inside the sub, as suggested by mokou(?). there's no easy solution, but it's important to use what you get. if life give you lemons ask for tene. but there's no tene here, just two sukuvans, and their idea is a change of class! mages are outdated, long live to warrior princesses and their skimpy outfits! truth to be told she could also use some dumb tribal tattoo, but we dont want the primitive goblinus sue her for cultural appropriation.

I'm so confused with how big each character is right now
>>
>>47835416
yuuma and mima are big(ger). mokou, sukuvan, myon and apparently suzuvan too are small(er). the rest are their normal size, wriggle and nazrin are always small for example. if oda can make every character a giant then we have the same right!
>>
>>47835416
>>47835465
Anon has it. Mokou, Myon and Sukuvan have always been small ever since they entered the portal at the SDM. How small they are is inconsistent because drawing to scale is hard and sometimes overlooked by anons. Yuuma is drawn as big because her introduction made her big to better contrast how small sukuvan and the others are, but she should actually be normal. Mima is big because she was cursed to be a giant pickle and seemingly only the pickle part was resolved. Suzuvan started as small as Sukuvan because she originated from a typo gag. The gobrins are small because they are gobrins. Chiyari and the Yorigami sisters should technically be bigger than Yuuma since they're all at an unaltered state and Yuuma isn't actually very tall.

>>47841298
filtering by language japanese and tag: multicolored hair could potentially help, but it's not really accurate. it's pretty clear that trends in asian entertainment industries brought a different understanding of multicolored hair, where the second/third color is used more like a highlight on very limited parts of hair. as such, there's 2756 characters tagged as having multicolored hair, with 604 of them appearing in visual novels released past 2023. not all mentions fit my criteria though and quite a few are more in line with the drakoi cap you posted.
but this one is honestly on me. the trend is dying, designs like this are far less prominent in eroge in
