Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Yes, that is a thing that happened. It's part of that new Touhou magazine that came out in October I think.

I too would like a Translation, I hear it has Cool and Good Things to say about Reimu, who is Cool and Good.

That's at the top of my list to translate when I have free time. Hopefully it'll happen before the next ice age.

I did a translation of the new CoLA. I put it on tumblr for some reason.

I guess I could put it on the wiki, but I don't feel like it.

Eh, I still want to do my own. No joke, Touhou and Kourindo especially is why I got into translating at all, so it's kinda important to me.

Edit: Although if Clarste's work ends up on the wiki, I'll probably just edit that so I can move on to some untranslated interviews.

Edit 2: or not!

Jeez Sumireko, your in high school and your already making the same rants as my parents. Besides, she should be the last person complaining about people using their phones being in their own little world considering that she ignores everything around her, goes to sleep, and literally goes to her own little world.

Sumireko is filled with terrible ideas and opinions. Not just with the whole spending all her time in Gensokyo because she thinks she's far superior to regular human beings but also she tried to kill herself and blow up Gensokyo after getting hella pranked by Mamizou. She's the best. :allears:

Question for the backstory aficionados out there: what does it mean that Ran has Yukari's surname? I don't think they're supposed to be married, so does it imply that Yukari adopted Ran as her daughter? Or is it something else? Or nothing at all?

Ran's PMiSS profile says "Ran Yakumo" is Yukari's name for her and her real name is unknown.

And Yukari basically treats her as a (voluntary?) slave (and weirdly, like a robot/computer, which I've never really seen leak through into any fanworks). In any case, I always get the impression that in canon they don't see each other as equals or as "family" like fanworks tend to portray them (or if this portrayal has a more canon basis, I can't think of where).

Yeah, the "familiar = computer" setting really gets glossed over in fan works, not to mention Ran suitably being a mathematical whiz.

I guess Yukari naming her is just like when people name their terminals/hard drives.

Of course, Yukari is even better at math.

But yes, ZUN's repeatedly made the joke that computers are technological shikigami, and Yukari doesn't seem all that friendly to Ran. Actually, if you perceive them as a family then it's almost worse, because Yukari apparently likes to beat her up with an umbrella.

FractalSandwich

In that case, think about the computers you use yourself - how much you rely on them for productivity, communication and entertainment, and how much personal or confidential or just plain embarrassing information you have them handle every day. If Yukari is a real power user, then Ran is even closer than family - she's an extension of herself.

That's basically what shikigamis are, at least in Touhou. That's why they're stronger when they're obedient to their master and conversely lose power if they don't follow their orders to the letter.

ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST
Yukari sometimes tries to discuss philosophy and worldviews with Ran, but she gets disappointed when Ran tries to reduce her answer to a logical and/or mathematical reply.

Look at all those OCs.

I hope this fanime has more Renko and Merry then this trailer suggested though, because although they're probably just going to be used as a framing device for other stories I think the sealing club is very cool and I was excited that people were making a fanime about them.

Also, the guys making it did a short video about ULiL, which is pretty neat because it has a doofy ghost in it.

Pretty neat. I've also seen the latest generation of Touhou M1 Grand Prix is apparantly out, but haven't found an English sub yet for us filthy gaijins (featuring Sakuya and Koakuma, with Sakuya looking appropriately pissed at having to partner with a mere midstage boss).

In the meantime, some random Touhou Xmas poo poo:
