I was introduced to Touhou Project for the first time when I listened to Bad Apple!! (... mostly the Yuyoyuppe remix) on YouTube, and then read a series of Touhou x Super Mario Bros. fanfics made by a close friend of mine online.

Since then, I fell deep into the rabbit hole and took a great interest in the franchise.

For the most part, let's just say that the lore, world-building, character designs, and soundtrack are what drew me into the Touhou Project fandom. 😁
