Spirit Dewdrop
Fairy of Revelry
A mouse drawing of a touhou OC I decided to try to design She has short black hair, with a grape leaf stuck in it, and magenta eyes. She has wings somewhat similar to Flandre's, however they are small grape vines, with a bunch of purple grapes and a bunch of green grapes on each wing. She wears a white open jacket and a magenta dress, with a lighter pink dot pattern. The look of the dress with the jacket overtop is meant to resemble a wine glass or martini glass, and the dot pattern is meant to resemble bubbles in the glass. She also wears brown shoes with white socks. They are very simple as I struggle with drawing footwear. She holds a grey drinking cup in one hand, and yellow text above her face reads "Drink!" The drawing is done in a style meant to replicate ZUN's style A somewhat revised version of the profile from the quoted tweet it reads: "Stage 1 Boss: Fairy of Revelry Spirit Dewdrop Species: Fairy Ability: Capable of causing intoxication A fermentation fairy. While fermentation is often harnessed by humans for their own purposes, it is still ultimately a natural process. Fruits and berries can ferment over time, and these fermented fruits can cause animals who eat them to become intoxicated. This natural fermentation is the “nature” that she embodies, though perhaps it could be said that in a sense, she’s actually an alcohol fairy. She herself does not like to drink alcohol, and the cup she always carries simply contains regular fruit juice, however, it brings her great amusement to see the way others act when drunk, and as such, if a party is hosted, she’s likely to show up, and may even liven things up herself if she isn’t entertained enough. Outside of parties, where she acts rather outgoing, her personality isn’t quite gloomy, but she’s surprisingly reclusive. Most people don’t know this, however, as spending most of her time outside of parties by herself means people only know her for her upbeat, party-going side. She might occasionally use her ability to play a prank on a human or amuse herself, but she prefers to keep to herself, and enjoys tasting wild fruits she comes across. Sometimes she shares these fruits with humans she likes, or as a token of appreciation for a party’s host. The grapes growing on her back are also edible, and regrow, however they ferment much quicker than normal fruit, and as such are typically unsuitable for normal consumption. In fact, she sometimes has to be careful not to let birds or other wild animals sneakily eat them."

still a bit unreasonably disappointed that the sannyo text is actually "you darn fool" and just doesn't have the best kerning, and is not actually "you dam fool"
A screenshot of Unconnected Marketeers, cropped on the face of Sannyo Komakusa, a woman with long purple hair tied in a ponytail with a yellow ribbon, wearing a red top and a red jacket. "You darn fool" is written above her face in yellow, though the "r" and the "n" are close together, which made me misread it as "you dam fool" for a long time

wrote up a quick profile trying to follow the general format of the game profiles, idk if it really has the same vibes as an official profile, but it was pretty fun, tho for being a fairy OC I feel she might not be very fairy-like, that's my only concern..

miiight try to come up w/ a design later?
A screenshot of a text document showing an attempt at a profile for a touhou OC i'm trying to make for fun, aiming to recreate the style/format of the official game profiles it reads: "Stage 1 Boss: Fairy of Revelry Spirit Dewdrop (name STC) Species: Fairy Ability: Capable of causing intoxication A fermentation fairy. While fermentation is a process often harnessed by humans, some fruits and berries have been known to ferment on their own, and there are cases of animals getting intoxicated from eating them. This natural fermentation is the 'nature' that she embodies. Though she does not like alcohol herself, she gets a lot of amusement out of seeing others drunk, and because of this, she's likely to show up whenever there's a party, and she'll probably make things even more lively. Outside of parties, where she acts rather outgoing, her personality isn't quite gloomy, but she's surprisingly reclusive, though spending most of her time outside of parties by herself means people only know her for her upbeat, party-going side. She might occasionally play a prank on humans or amuse herself with her ability, but she prefers to keep to herself and enjoys tasting wild fruits she comes across. Sometimes she might share these fruits with humans she likes, or as a token of appreciation for a party's host."

every time i'm eatin a muffin i think about this spellcross panel now
A screenshot of a panel from the webcomic Spellcross. A slightly low detailed drawing of Nell, a girl wearing a hoodie and shorts with short hair, a big puffy hat, and a ribbon on the side of the hat, waves, and says "Seeya, Caldwell. Don't be sad, alright? Muffins make everything better." In the background, her friend Tara, a taller girl with long dark hair wearing a dress and an apron excitedly holds up her other friend Alice, a shorter girl with short light colored hair, and a dark witch hat and robe

A screenshot of Fantasy Maiden Wars - Dream of the Stray Dreamer, showing Yamame saying "Dinner time." while a cut-in portrait of her is displayed, it shows her holding a string in one hand that goes into her mouth, on the opposite side of her mouth her tongue is stuck out with a bit of drool around it, and her free hand is brought up to her face, finger nearly touching her tongue

what the fuck do you mean bravely default had microtransactions
A screenshot of Bravely Default, showing the tutorial for "Sleep Points," specifically the third page of the tutorial a header reads "What are SP Drinks?" the body reads "Use one and your SP will increase by 3. *Notice* SP drinks are a premium item purchased with actual money, not in-game currency. Please enjoy responsibly!"

i'm sure there are more but this is the main example that comes to mind
A screenshot of Fantasy Maiden Wars - Dream of the Stray Dreamer, showing part of the music room entry for track 98, "Upbeat Spider", a remix of "The Sealed-away Youkai - Lost Place" from Subterranean Animism. The arrange is by cobu, and the portion of the composer comment shown in the screenshot reads "Yamame's theme song. For everybody's favorite underground idol, I chose a nylon guitar to match the quirky way she manages to be both so glum yet so bright. When I turned it in, the staff just said, 'Clumsy Underground Spider Idol☆Yamame-chan!', and left it at that. What did they mean? Is it really that weird...?"

very fond of nell spellcross
A screenshot of a color illustration from the webcomic Spellcross. It shows Nell, a girl with short pink hair and a black hair bow, wearing a light blue-ish colored winter jacket, a black skit, and tights, munching on a cinnamon bun, holding a paper bag with more of them in her other arm. Mostly cropped out of the screenshot, Sil, a boy with red hair wearing a red scarf and black sweater can be seen reaching for one of Nell's cinnamon buns.

hey just stumbled across this thread and wanted to mention it's a bit unintuitive, but you should actually be able to
bumpers only cycle through defend, evade, and the current weapon but selecting the 'select counterattack' option brings up a sub-menu that lets you pull up the weapon list
A screenshot of Fantasy Maiden Wars, showing the pre-battle screen with Maris fighting a kedama. The options menu lists "Begin Battle", "Select Counterattack", "Support", "Team," and "Spirit" "Select Counterattack" is highlighted, and next to it a sub-menu is pulled up that says "Select Counterattack" again, which is highlighted, "Evade", and "Defend"

yep she's a garu
A screenshot of a panel of Nell looking off to the side, her mouth a small triangle. She holds a hand up next to her face, making a peace sign, while saying "It's frozen~" as particles of ice can be seen floating in the air around her

kinda mentioned it offhand in another post but i started reading a webcomic i came across called spellcross
just met a new character and i fear i love her already
A screenshot of a panel from the webcomic Spellcross, introducing a character named Nell, who is a Rank C Ice Mage specializing in Support. She has slightly fluffy neck-length hair, and wears a headband with a black bow. She wears a dress with a thick-looking hooded capelet overtop, and a pair of gloves. Holding a broom in one hand, and bringing the other to her mouth as she yawns, she says "Hum... I guess. How many more monsters will we have to fight, d'ya think?" A screenshot of a panel showing Nell holding her broom in both hands with an annoyed look on her face, her mouth like a small, upside down letter v.

what if i do want that. what then.
Koakuma, seeming surprised, says "Oh my. Are you stopping here?" Koakuma smiles and says "I see. It IS almost night. You should get some rest." Narrowing her eyes a bit, smile faltering, she says "But no 'funny dreams, is that clear? Unless you want me to punish you..." Closing her eyes and smiling brightly, Koakuma concludes: "...Just kidding. Come back soon."

A screenshot of Fantasy Maiden Wars - Dream of the Stray Dreamer, showing Kogasa winking and sticking her tongue out, saying "Oogly-boogly-boo!" Kogasa then smiles and says "I got you, right? I totally got you!" She sticks her tongue out, and says "I got you so hard you want to quit the game!" Kogasa concludes, smiling again: "Alright, alright. Go and get some rest."

oh my god this chapter DESTROYED me
best part of the game so far, nothing even comes close
A screenshot of Fantasy Maiden Wars - Dream of the stray Dreamer In a garden of blue roses, Koishi says "I love you." with a big smile. Satori says nothing in response, but smiles in return, a tear coming from her eye.

a small satopatchy win for me
A screenshot of Fantasy Maiden Wars - Dream of the Stray Dreamer, showing Koishi Komeiji smiling, saying "My sister just LOVES 'em! She constantly shuts herself away in her room to read." Closing her eyes, Koishi adds: "It's so fun to watch her sitting there, grinning to herself." Patchouli Knowledge responds: "So she like reading too? She did always strike me as the indoor type." Patchouli continues: "If she can keep quiet, I suppose she wouldn't bother me if she came to my library."

her judgement of yukari, in particular, is really interesting and builds off the idea established in the mystic arc of yukari as someone who never wants to forget or lose anything and tries to carry and uphold all of gensokyo man i fucking love this game
A screenshot of Fantasy Maiden Wars - Dream of the Stray Dreamer, showing a conversation between Shiki Eiki and Yukari Yakumo Eiki says: "However, even as you meddle in more and more lives, your core remains unaffected by others." Eiki continues: "Indeed, you've taken on too much." "Living while holding an attachment to everything is impossible for a single youkai. All the moreso for a sage." Eiki concludes: "Reevaluate your position before your paradox grows too large to bear!"

yeah i guess that's a way you can look at danmaku battles

yeah?

(didn't include cuz of image limit and it seemed like the less interesting part but leading up to this koa offered her a shoulder rub)
Shiki Eiki says to Koakuma: "It's fine to be friendly. However, it can sometimes that can lead the person you converse with astray." She continues: "Indeed, you tempt others a bit too much." Koakuma replies: "That's not true at all!" Shiki Eiki responds: "It's obvious from your tone and body language. If you aren't aware of it, that simply adds to your sin."
