Well now, this project of mine took much longer to complete than I ever thought possible in all my time doing these. As aforementioned aplenty now: school, life, and lack of Internet for the past few months now have completely gotten in the way. Had I be able to find proper time to sit down and finish it earlier, I would have done so. In any case, here it is, my 7th (celebrated) year as a Touhou fan. Finished and finally here for you all to see.

This time it felt like I was making edits to this through both create.swf and Paint.NET. Really I think it turned out neat because of this, I had a lot of materials to work with this time around, but I still think that these would be more amazing should I get ahold of something like Photoshop, but blazes if I can invest in something like that.


So at the time, before I wanted to start this project, I needed to complete a big custom Walfas project . And a big reason I wanted to finish it is so I could add the custom characters you see here. Truthfully this picture is also a testament to my own desires to have the Touhou fans care for those that are unloved, I don’t know how I've personally come to enjoy characters like these kinds of characters so much, but I understand that almost all Touhou characters have the potential to be fantastic in the hands of fans. In this sense I've come to attribute this factor to every Touhou character.

I've seen thousands of reason someone can love a character in Touhou, and I have a thousand reasons why I love Touhou characters as well, and even some of these reason found their way to all of the characters, including unpopular/unloved ones.

Honestly I want to be able to contribute to Touhou, and its colorful cast, in my own way. After all, it’s because of Touhou that I am who I am. Because I am so inspired on my own initiative, I do want to give back to the Touhou community and the series that has done so much for me. The level in which some of us are able to contribute can be lesser than what others can do on a day by day basis, but you can be darn sure that I’m incredibly happy to have a place in the Walfas community to contribute. So far, this has been my stand-point in the endeavor to contribute.

I could gush, but with the last few celebration pictures and what I've said there, I’m sure you've come to expect that much of what I've said about Touhou already, still applies. Soon though I might reach a point where my focus has to be on my own life, but you can be sure I’m content with the fact that Touhou has been my stepping stone into furthering my own life. Touhou will continue to be my subcultural lifestyle here on the Internet. I am forever thankful to ZUN for that, I have so much to look forwards to because of him.

What other game series out there can earn unending praise on my end? I've been willing to type enough words on behalf of Touhou to write a book about. There happens to be a level of depth that Touhou has reached both in the main series games and in the fan works that other games can't seem to achieve as grandiose as Touhou has. Touhou has really become its own universe of content over the years, and I've invested years of time into it.

Touhou games really aren't my favorite games of all time, but they are more charming than any other game for me, they're phenomenal for what they are worth and quite thrilling to play. It takes a lot of practice to get to a better level and I end up coming back for more a lot. Fan-made art, music, and games really only add more to the experience.

I love Touhou for things it has to offer, they won’t get tiresome anytime soon, and I sure look forwards to more to come.

7 years?
That's amazing!
I can't possibly imagine how awesome it must be.
I like Touhou since around 2011 (maybe sometime before, but I think that's about it).
I already felt like an old fan in a way, and thinking about Touhou gives me some nostalgia.
It must be awesome to like Touhou for 7 years.

It is, it truly is awesome. Honestly I started my journey with the PC-98 games and as these games were inherently classics, I'm very happy to say I had a semi-childhood with Touhou. The love for this series continued to fester until I became eventually engrossed with it. I started buying my own Touhou games and I'm very happy with the copies I own.

I have to admit that everything I've come to love about Touhou is still relevant, and there is only more room to grow in that regard. Touhou will be there to the grave for me, and I'll happily continue to be a fan of it for as long as it's a part of this planet.

That's sounds really amazing.
You have so much passion for the games.
I rarely see people that love games to the core, and it's always nice to see someone like that.
One that can commemorate the game's release dates.
One able to talk for hours about the beloved games.
(Sorry if I sounds over-excited, it's just that I don't have so many people to talk about games like that).
We could talk more anyway.
Touhou is awesome! And it's really great to talk to someone about it.
Especially when the person is familiar with the older games.

Believe me, there are those of us out there who are indeed also passionate about Touhou. I also have very solid reasons too, Touhou was the stepping stone in my own life that inspired me and cause me to think better of the world, because the world seemed to be much more fun with all this new and fascinating stuff in what seemed like a proper realm of content that I could observe, listen, and learn from.

It's because of Touhou that I wanted to learn how to behave better socially and grow to be a better person.

It's because of Touhou that I've got ZUN, personal role model and hero of mine.

It's because of Touhou that I got inspired to seriously and actively pursuit a chance to get into the gaming industry in some fashion.

It's because of Touhou that I have a bunch of irreplaceable friends and a community that congregates because of Touhou's influence.

It's because of Touhou that I am who I am today, and honestly feel most thankful and blessed to be in the black hole that is Touhou.

The Touhou Project is more than just a game series, it's a phenomenal universe of content that has the power to changes lives and for the better. Touhou has done so much for me over these seven years and these pictures are my chance to hopefully commemorate the day my life changed forever and hopefully give something back to the community that makes content for us fans daily, there is no other fanbase that's quite like this one and only further drives the point that Touhou is indeed awesome, perhaps awesome beyond measure, it's just that marvelously accessable.

ZUN is my hero for his Touhou game series, and I one day wish to tell him just how much his games have done for me.

I don't even know what to say.
Reading this puts a smile in my face, it really does.
It makes me happy.
Touhou is awesome!
Keep loving it forever!

Yes, seven is a lucky number. It was a good year too, I guess that counts for something as well. ^^

" After all, it’s because of Touhou that I am who I am. "

I believe most of us can say that as well

It's because of this that I rightfully know that Touhou can change lives, and for many already, I also believe that it was for the better.

Heck, that's just one of the many reasons I hold Touhou in such high regard. Like no other, this game is much more than most people see it at a surface glance. And darn if it wasn't worth getting into for some.
