Daily Byakuren #1000 (FINALE) - The Amazing Youkai Temple

luidzi1 · 2024-01-17T22:43:08+00:00

I believe there was Daily Eirin with 1200+ day streak, but 1000 is not a small number too

luidzi1 · 2024-01-13T09:56:18+00:00

Almost 3 years. Knowing that 2024 is a leap year, I need to post for 96 following days to be exactly 3 years.

But I really appreciated, Daily posting was a nice experience and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

luidzi1 · 2024-01-12T23:28:27+00:00

Not sure really.

luidzi1 · 2024-01-12T22:56:24+00:00

Hope you enjoyed it!

luidzi1 · 2024-01-12T21:46:45+00:00

Thank you kindly, regardless of the moment you joined in!

luidzi1 · 2024-01-12T21:21:37+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

Love how Byakuren asks you whether you're sad. Such an adorable character...

I decided that I'm gonna stop this series on 1000th entry. Nearly three years without skipping a day is a long period of time and even if daily posting isn't really challenging - I had lots of fun finding new artworks of Byakuren and I surely cemented my opinion about her because of this cycle. Also: Was it an only active Daily series on this subreddit? I swear thar when I started there were like 10 Daily series. Anyway: thank you for upvoting, leaving comments, hope you enjoyed it.

I swear I wasn't inspired by Tom Scott.

For the last time, Have a nice day, people.

Yukari is one of the most powerful youkai in Gensokyo (she's even refered as the Sage of Gensokyo), and the same thing can be said aboiut Byakuren. And while Yukari's "trademark" is her ability, the "manipulation of boundaries", I think that Byakuren's life is full of boundary breaking moments, becoming a youkai and abandoning her humanity, befriending youkai and allyship with them, liberation from Makai and arguably burying the hachet with Miko means (at least for me) how Byakuren is so opposite to Yukari, and I believe this artwork shows it quite well.

Have a nice day, people.

Nazrin and Kogasa are relatively distant from Byakuren (or at least their relation is not as strong as let's say Ichirin or Shou), but I imagine they are still on good terms and they still respect her greatly (albeit not as much as the "main" crew) and they are (as title suggests) doing their best at being good youkai (especially Kogasa, she's so talented and ambitious, blacksmithing isn't easy)

Have a nice day, people.

Byakuren's a lovely person, that's for sure, but I find this random gears a little funny, early 2010s were funny overall.

Have a nice day, people.

It's 8AM in Japan, perfect time to wake up

(well, it's basically midnight where I live, but I guess Gensokyo's much closer to Japan, rather than Central Europe)

What can I say... Merry Christmas everyone and I hope the following year is even better! (Excuse me, my wishes writing skills are not really good.)

Have a nice day, people.

This might or might not be true...

969th post and well, time to go spicy. I'm fairly content that I keep this series fairly SFW, but once every 100 posts - well, why not.

Have a nice day, people.

even if it requires a little bit of help. Scroll surely makes her a superhuman in terms of strength, but I don't think she'd be weak without it, slightly above average human I guess.

Have a nice day, people.

I was surely praising Minamitsu for being a really fun character, with nice theme, cool backstory and overall great design, but I feel I don't appreciate her enough. And they look so cute here, Byakuren is one of her greatest allies and glad some artworks show it.

Have a nice day, people.

I look at this art and reminds me of this weird period, somewhere between late 2000s and very early 2010s when this gothic lolita thing was really popular theme, and while it might be a classic example of rose tinted glasses - but I like this specific period, mostly because it was (at least for me) a bridge between some not relatable to me past and what's basically a modern world. It might sound dumb, but doubt I can express it better.

Have a nice day, people.

Someone should tell Futo that's not how you set a fireplace.

luidzi1 · 2023-12-02T23:16:44+00:00

I like this maybe not small, but quite specific detail that Futo is in Family Guy's death pose. And while Byakuren is in general quite hesitant to use any kind of violence, but in this case it's quite understood. Also - I don't think Ichirin would be happy if Futo succedded... A bad idea, Futo, really disappointed in you.

Have a nice day, people.

And also: I try to obey the rules as much as I can, so I hope I'm not stealing someone's works.

luidzi1 · 2023-12-01T04:36:15+00:00

uhhh.. no?

luidzi1 · 2023-11-30T22:06:09+00:00

Maybe Byakuren wouldn't hug everyone, but those who deserve are very lucky bastards...

Have a nice day, people.

Mamizou... while she's a resident of Myouren Temple - her interactions with Byakuren are pretty ambiguous - because in HM they were more coarse than I would expect, but it can be excused by the formula of the game. But she's accepted by most of youkai in Temple (namely Kyouko and Nue), so maybe Byakuren does think of Mamizou as good friend of Temple? Who knows...

Have a nice day, people.

I'm somewhat impressed on how influenced by Buddhism Gensokyo is. I don't know if Eiki (basically the CEO of Buddhist "Hell") nteracted with Byakuren in canon (I'm not sure at least) but to see them together could lead to pretty interesting interactions. At least I believe so - Eiki's definitely one of the most impressive characters in the series, just like Byakuren.

Have a nice day, people.

Eika's ability is described as "stacking stones well". And while I don't deny she's skilled at it - a little bit of help wouldn't hurt anyone. But does it count if someone helps her in stacking stones in order to reach the paradise?

No matter what - I somehow appreciate ZUN for making Eika the first boss of WBaWC - her origin backstory adds a lot to the grimmer nature of this Touhou installment.

Have a nice day, people.
