The main Discord server I'm in is a small group. It's mainly just four of us (sometimes 5 or 6) talking about various things and joking around some. They aren't always active, though I've never regretted joining that server.Much better than the discord server in my opinion
That’s neat, every touhou discord I’m in sucks. The only good one I’m in is TouhouFest, and even there I feel a little left out. To be fair, I barely talk in vc so that’s on me hehe.
Though besides my main friend from there, they don't talk in-depth about something like this. lol To get off-topic some (once more), my Mama has always been "the one who has never met a stranger" despite her not liking crowds and was shy when she was younger. I unfortunately don't really have any of that, though sometimes I find people like you guys whom I click with. So, appreciate that.
Tbf, the server isn't a Touhou server, as really only three of us (including myself) talk about it and send memes and such with it. Though the leader of the server does still find a lot of it funny despite him not being into Touhou.
That’s neat. Like Fazun said, you’re really lucky you were able to find a place like that and have friends like that anyways.
Probably so! XD
I don't think somebody really cares what we're talkin' about in there
Well the main discussion’s come to a close anyways, big fantasy tunnels caused newspapers to drop in and Parsee to migrate, I don’t think there’s really anything to stray back to anymore lmao
Most certainly so. lol
I'm actually from the Balkans And I actually haven't heard much of Like myth characters or fantasy characters from where I live then again I don't read a lot of books
Wow! That's pretty cool that you're from there! Also, I'm happy to hear that you like my idea. :) I just imagine that if there's anywhere in continental Europe to house the old and ancient mythologies and beings of Europe, it'd be decided to be made somewhere like the Balkans. I mean, that area probably has some of the oldest history in all of Europe, and was once part of many great empires.
Another place which I would postulate as being the location of a potential "great European Gensokyo" would be somewhere in the Alps (most likely somewhere in western Austria or northern Italy). Though in these overarching theories, I would say that nearly all countries have at least some version of a "fantasy land", as forgotten knowledge is prevalent everywhere on Earth, so those "fantasy lands" (like Gensokyo) pop into existence from some "youkai" having the sufficient power to create such places to house those things which have remained forgotten by men. Though I would say that some large countries/territories possibly have multiple different "Gensokyos" (such as with China, Brazil and the US). I think it's also fun to imagine the existence of such "fantasy lands" on forgotten islands/archipelagos in the middle of the ocean.
Thanks i see
Thank you for sending that! I'm assuming that to be a list of various mythological/supernatural creatures in the Balkans and Caucasus/Eastern Europe. I love tales and stories of supernatural beings and creatures (one of the main reasons I'm interested in Japan and Touhou), though I haven't studied about many of those supernatural and mythological beings in places aside from Japan and a couple other countries (mainly because I just haven't gotten around to it yet). My interest in supernatural subjects primarily has to do with my Christian upbringing (one that doesn't treat all supernatural beings aside from God and the angels as inherently "demonic") and me having an immense interest in really anything which is mysterious and otherworldly. (Another big factor in that interest in the supernatural is also my interest in nature and the wilderness and my experiences from my family's many trips, such as us going to West Virginia a while back and me having once been lost alone on the trails of the Smoky Mountains too when it had taken longer for me to get back than expected. And besides all that, my experience with big storms such as hurricanes is yet another important factor.) Kind of ironic then that I also love studying about history, social studies and various types of science. Sorry for creating another wall of text. lol
