Narcissu, and the way I see it...

So recently, I've finally completed reading Narcissu after basically 2 months (due to school and laziness coming to me, lol), I have got to say, it felt mesmerizing reading it, from reading the character's dialogue, to its beautiful music. I can say, without a doubt, that you should play it by yourself, you will not regret it! (Also, spoilers will be on this post, so be warned!!) LINK OF THE GAME


Anyways, let's be on topic. There's that one character, named Setsumi, who lived her whole life dealing with a terminal illness. And because of those circumstances, she has to stay in the hospital to treat her illness, only leaving from it to go to her home 3 times. Once that number reached to three, yup, go back to the hospital and never leave there forever. Because of that, she basically just given up on her dreams, her aspirations, her joy and her life. She can just die in the hospital or in her house if she wants to, but she doesn't want that. That's where Yuu Atou* comes in. He, like Setsumi, has a terminal illness and was taken to the hospital to be taken care of. He felt bored by just being in hospital reading comic, so he went to the living room of the hospital and met Setsumi there. At first, they didn't interact that much, but after watching the narcissus flower that was shown on the TV, they decided to escape from the hospital using his father's car and go to the island that have the narcissus flowers.


After escaping the hospital, they arrived at a lake during night-time, they stopped there. Then Setsumi walked towards the lake, contemplating about committing suicide, which then she asked Yuu whether he would stop her or not, which he wondered for a while...

After this event, they kept on going in their journey. While going to their journey, they had times of peace, sadness and happiness. When they finally arrived at the island, both of them looked at the beautiful narcissus, then stayed in their car for few days.

Once they got out of the car to go to the shores of the island, Yuu took pictures of Setsumi, where she smiled for the first time in her life. Then, she asked him about the same question she told when they were on the lake. She then took her own life, and that's where the story ends.


You know, even though both of them have a terminal illness where they'll never recover from it no matter what, and then die, they still experienced life to the fullest on their journey to the island, and it made me reflect. If they can live life through their journey with the limited time they have, why should I waste my time doing nothing. when I have the miracle to be alive and not having a terminal illness? And that's what I think is the theme of Narcissu, is to live life to the fullest even with the limited time you have in this world. That's the way I see it.

Thank you for reading this and have a blessed day.


(*: While he doesn't have a name in the visual novel, he was given a name on the supplementary works of Narcissu.)

Chrisoft's Website and His Music Stuff.

One day, while I was trying to find some Seihou Project music remixes on YouTube, I found this peculiar video right here. Since I want to hear the remixes, I went to his website and listened to the music he made. Not going to lie, there are some of the remixes that are great, like this one, or that one. Besides those two, you can listen to remixes and arranges of existing ZUN's music and original music that Chris Xiong has made. And music isn't the only thing he does, but he also does coding, which is interesting if you are into coding stuff. Anyways, that's all for today, have a blessed day.

How I feel about Shin Megami Tensei?

Shin Megami Tensei is probably a well-known JRPG game in the gaming world. It is basically thanks to it that Persona even exists for the first place. Everyone seems to enjoy this game series. So, what's up? Well... I'm not really a fan of its gimmick of using demons to assist you in battles, Baal being a popular character as one user posted in a thread of a Christian forum. Well, isn't that concerning? While I know this is not enough reasons (heck, I believe it is a small list of reasons,), the blunder is so big, that I can't easily accept that, and I'm a dude who make posts about Touhou!! I'll be bewildered if a Christian plays Shin Megami Tensei/Persona, since it has things that are so out of bounds, so demonic stuff in it, that I can't bring myself to even play it for a second. So, yeah, I don't like this game series, that's all. Anyways, it was short, but have a good day.


Addendum: Soooo, an update. So, one day I chatted with Christians on a discord server that is Christian anime server, and one of them told me in Shin Megami Tensei 2, you fight YHVH as the boss (basically God), and as expected, I wasn't happy about that, since you're basically fighting with an omnipotent God (And also blasphemous thing to do here). Just further deepens my distaste with it.

Earliest Touhou Fan-made Illustration and very interesting music arranges.

One day, while I was scrolling down the comments of SC-55 Version of The Grimoire of Alice on YouTube, one comment caught my eye. Here's the image:


This made me post the thread 'Pre-Touhou 6 Doujin' in shrinemaiden.com (LINK OF THE THREAD). Thanks for Yuuritsu for giving me the links of the websites. Now, this blog website specifically made me curious. Not only because it's the earliest fan-illustration, as what Yuuritsu said, but because of the music posted here in this blog. It is remixes of  Touhou music. Take a listen of their remix of "Tabula rasa ~ Empty Girl".


Not gonna lie, the beginning sounded like Ice Cap Zone from Sonic 3. When I heard it for the first time, it sounded magical and old timey for me, like those 90s anime shows people watched in the past (It also made me warm up to the original song, so here's that.). It also sounds peaceful and calm, with the mixture of techno instruments and traditional Japanese instruments.

Okay, for the illustration. The moment you entered the blog, there's an image of PC-98 Reimu playing a flute, which Yuuritsu told me this the earliest fan-made art of Touhou known. It isn't a full-on masterpiece, but it gets the job done and honestly, looks very nostalgic for me, since y'know, it was from the early 2000's? Yeeeah... Anyways, thanks for reading the post and have a blessed day.

While a bit exaggerated just for the fun of it, Yuyuko could be the person I fear.

 I mean, firstly, she's a ghost and I'm NOT a fan of them. They give me the feeling of dread, and it also can make me feel paranoid, fearing that the worst will come at me. Secondly, she have the ability to kill someone without even moving a finger. Yup, but thankfully, she isn't THAT insane and have some morals in her. Lastly, this face.











That settles it. That face alone can make a sane man go insane, losing the grasp of reality. This is why, Yuyuko is the 2nd scariest Touhou character in my opinion. Seiga Kaku is the 1st all the way up, there is no way someone can be that deranged as her.


Anyways, thank you for reading, and God bless.

Bruh, I got Mion Sonozaki.
