>>48407882This post make me so mad! I know you are from /u/ and raiding us!!!!! I am so angry I can't see STRAIGHT!
>>48407396>>48407882I wonder if she even knows what such is?
>>48413267I guess it depends how advanced Keiki's engineering is
>>48413386I wonder where the lamp Mayumi thing got it's start?
One of mayumi's haniwa soldier Rookie looks a bit odd...
>>48413885Jomon Alien
>>48413949[Spoiler]correct[/spoiler]
>>48375570>humans who live by "might makes right" are sent to the Animal Realm in their afterlife>realize they aren't such hot shit in the grand scheme of things and get enslaved by the stronger animal spirits>realize being on the receiving end of their own philosophy sucks>Keiki intervenes and frees them with an army of faith-powered automatonsThe animal spirits are just as evil as the humans who end up there, so are they really worth saving in the first place? Do they even have a way out via redemption so that they're placed back into the cycle and hope for a better life next time, or are they stuck there forever?Either way, I applaud Keiki's apparent compassion, and if Mayumi happens to possess free will, I'd also be steadfastly loyal to her. Even if I'm not a real Mayumi fan, I really like the lore surrounding her creation.
>>48416103I don't know if ZUN has commented more on the workings of the Animal Realm in the later print works, but since the exact workings aren't explained in Wily Beast it's probably more or less like the Buddhist animal realm. Since a lot of the Japanese would have at least passing understanding of what it's like, it's like a Western gamedev using "hell" as a setting without too much explanation. Anyway, the basic idea is that it's a realm where everything operates on basic instincts and fear. Maybe less about straight up might makes right, but that can be part of it. As for chances of getting out of there, in Touhou lore, it is up to ZUN who probably has a very depressing take on the matter. IRL Mahayana Buddhism believes that even the most wretched, demonic entities can eventually with time and growth get out of the hellish realms. I do like the background lore of Touhou 17 a lot. The character of Keiki plays with the lore of Haniyasu. Haniyasu was one of the kami born from Izanami's corpse after she dies while giving birth to the fire of kami. The other kami born from that are the kami of water, reeds and gourds. Water, reeds, gourds and clay were traditional firefighting tools in Japan. The fiery swirl that surrounds Keiki is probably a reference to this, and I suppose "being prayed into existence to save people" is a way to re-interpret the idea that birth of fire leads to creation of tools to control it.
Keiki ought to explain the tactical advantage that is giving Mayumi tree trunks for thighs
>>48421013Lower body strength is kind of a big deal in martial arts.
>>48421013CUTE!!!
>>48420881Mythological inspirations are neat but I think that reading Keiki as an allegory of artificial intelligence (It’s alluded multiple times in the game and ZUN states is explicitly in the interview) results in more interesting interpretation of WBaWC. It all boils down to choice between corporate animal cage and paternalistic, authoritarian ai. It's basically cyberpunk.
>>48421342I get where you are coming from but I personaly got tired of cyberpunk haha.
Its been a while since I have drawn her. I should see about doing one soon....
Super idol Mayumi
I like Mayumi's loyalty. Touhou is full of loyal servants but I feel like none of them are as dedicated and loyal to their masters as Mayumi is to Keiki.
>>48431731The only good idol ever
>>48447327So true anon!
>>48451708
>>48454413More yuri
>>48454413Sure she did.
>>48455739I bet you're gonna go absolutely wild for this.
>>48456782That guy doesn't actually like yuri, he only tries to troll people.
I did not notice the ugly watermark... Have a Mayumi from a great artist that doesn't mutilate their images.
>>48470625I wonder where the pattern for those stockings came from?
>>48470821It's from some sort of haniwa expo that was happening near Reitaisai. Some people on xwitter encouraged Touhou fans to visit, and it sparked the creation of nice art.
>>48478920Oh, interesting. Total coincidence that those two were near each other, I'm sure.
Mayumi is not falling off the catalog on my watch!
>>48485678But she will on mine.
>>48485821no way fag
>>48485821No.
>>48480597I have no idea what you mean by this. I don't think that's something you should be doing, or thinking.But I saw at least one Japanese xwitter user expressing a similar sentiment. It went along the lines of "I don't believe Haniyasushin is real, but it sure is strange that haniwa is suddenly popping up everywhere..."
>>48497416You don't need to worry about me. You wouldn't happen to know how I can find more information about this on xitter?
Need mayumi fumo
>>48508349It would be really nice.
Need Mayumi in any way or form
>>48510650Sculpt your own Mayumi then?
>>48510898No matter what I do, any Mayumi I carve is an incarnation of wrath. Thus is the fate of those who owe a deep karmic debt. You'll understand when you try carving one for yourself one day.
>>48510898I bought a set from Keiki
>>48511216>oppai sold seperately
>>48511207That's my boy.
>>48512706Well?
>>48511216Imagine if Keiki open new Haniwa brothel in Gensokyo, then each customer is given full freedom to costumize their own partner. The village suffers from low birth rate and population decline due to men not wanting child anymore.
>>48516521Is clay pussy really that good?
>>48519600With kappa™ technology anything is possible!
>>48523628What are thoooooose

>>48542518Youcan do it mayu!
>>48542518The talisman ended up summoning funny tentacles that humiliated her in front of everyone!
>>48543137The talisman ended up summoning a fist that punched your face off of your face.
>>48542518Cute!
>>48543725Why did Keiki write doujins about interracial yuri sex?
>>48543865To destroy the last shreds of her defeated enemies' dignity, of course.
I want to SEE the haniwa
