Hello, I apologize if this isn't exactly the right subreddit to be talking about this.

I'm a guy currently in my University. (will be relevant)

I really wanted to cosplay one of my favorite characters Reimu for a while this Halloween, and already started construction on the Gohei Stick. However my parents refuse to let me.

Mostly my mom, even though I tried convincing her for the past four days, she wouldn't budge. I educated her that she was a iconic character from one of my favorite video game series, and that I would even use my personal money to pay for it. It's not that she was worried about that though, her reasoning for not letting me, is that she's absolutely sure people at my university will bat eyes at me, ruin my reputation, and get bullied, and that I might end up regretting it.

I assured her people at my university are welcoming, and there are many cosplayers, espicially the Art Department, where I reside mostly at. But she still brushed it off thinking Im gonna look silly in person. And she later told me it was only "correct" to wear this if I was born a girl. I dont bother wanting to ask my dad because I know he is gonna yell at me for wearing something like this. I am thinking of sneaking outside the house without him knowing. I had plans for reusing Reimu for Touhoufest next year so it wasn't something gone to waste or just a one time use my mom thought so of. I am a little stuck of how ill go about this now, any form of advice or small suggestions is heavily appreciated. <3

TL;DR My mom is certain I'm gonna get bullied or looked down for cosplaying Reimu or anything feminine looking.

UPDATE: A close friend of mine managed to order the cosplay for me, Thank you all for your advice.

So, my post got taken down due to supposed AI generated art. The thing is, the user is an actual artist and flat put said "no AI", and the artist also have his own distinctive art style. Not only that, the picture is not a single picture.

So, where did I go wrong? Like genuinely.

What does this mean??? He seems very happy and I want to be excited with him

I'd really like to get to know a girl with similar interests as mine, being primarily Touhou, but I have no idea where to look or who to talk to, so I figured I'd make a post here to ask for advice.

Please don't slam me too hard for this lmao (amazing artwork by me, reimu by dairi, hey mister from "A book about doing naughty things to Mistress Remilia" by dra)

My PC is chinese, I couldn't never figure out how to change the language or anything, the thing is that the wallpapers are random, generally of pictures of China with motivational messages. But now THIS APPEARED AND I NEED THE SOURCE!!!!!!!!

i keep finding this on twitter and pinterest, i'm not aware of this series but its still getting episodes from what i know, i'm almost sure this is a new episode. sorry if i had to ask this.

There doesn't seem to be a way to resize it.

I've been seeing this image everywhere online and can't find the original source anywhere at all even with image search.

I'm quite new to Touhou and I like tragic backstories but looking for (fan)works regarding Mokou becoming immortal is quite difficult, do you guys have some recommendations?

How many hours do you guys listen to music in a week? I rlly need those 100 answers for statistics which will be graded in 2 subjects😭🙏

Hi, first time using this and posting, i found this in my gallery and remember about this infection "au" or "lore" a random artist in tw made, context, yuyuko for some reason died and came back to life again with a unknow infection that if she infect you, you came back as a zombie but the people yuyuko infects can still use their skills, the other that get infect by "regular" zombies, cant, question is, i cant find what happen to this artist in tw, if someone knows, will be happy to know where is know

Why does reimu have black hair in some art works but brown in others? Is it simply just a style choice?

Edit: link to first picture https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/39486261 I was unable to find a proper link or artist for the second picture so here is the link to it on pintrest. https://pin.it/59rBtoHnC

i cant find alot of information about it and i mostly see it on pinterest, whos drawing this? and is all the drawings made by the same person?

edit: found it and seem like this post blew up, thank you all !

any idea how to get it working? google isn't helping much, pressing "STOP" doesn't seem to work either unless I'm just doing something wrong

So this problem was thankfully solved by using a different emulator, apparently the one I was using just didn't work with touhou

So I took a look at the nintendo eshop and found some fangames and official games. I'm getting Luna Lights, but these also piqued my interest alongside Mystia's Izakaya. Thing is I'm trying to save money, so I don't wanna go too overboard or get like Antimony if it's not worth $35. Any suggestions?

There're lots of things that are Collab touhou for example: McDonald's, project sekai

Let's think which things do you want to collab

For me i want 5: 1. Weird al yankovic 2. Billie eilish 3. Gorillaz 4. Evangelion 5. Panty and stocking (Note i add reimu picture because to have Touhou content)

i'm having the most pinterest moment ever. they never credit art or say that it is AI or not.

I'm almost sure that someone asked about it here before but the reverse image search didn’t show anything. I already found the artist's page on Pixiv (泉田一角) and scrolled through his works but couldn't find where the pic came from. Am I blind?

(Art from the Touhou Wiki: “Illustration of Momiji Inubashiri in Outer World”)

The Wiki does not mention their existence. I want to know what these things are called because I want to draw a character with these puff things. Are they merely called puffs? Oversized cotton balls? Bunny tails? Something of Japanese name? This has been driving me insane for a while and would really like to know what they are called.
