Hello! I'm Bear. Welcome ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ
I've been a fan of Touhou Project since 2010. Over the years, I've watched and interacted with various parts of both the English-speaking and Japanese fan communities, supporting fanworks and making some of my own alongside enjoying official content. I draw a lot of fanart and occasionally write fanfic I'm too embarrassed to post.
Currently, this website is used as an archive for:
- fan projects I've either organized/modded or participated in
- doujin fanworks (books, music, games, etc) I own copies of
- travels, especially 聖地巡礼
This is subject to change, and I might also upload writing like meta posts and fandom history articles in the future. Eventually... Maybe.
Unless stated otherwise, all the photos here are my own. Please don't use them.
(Keep in mind that everything here is a mix of my opinions, preferences and experiences as a fan. I'm not trying to be an authority on anything. This is just a collection of thoughts. Thank you.)
