Observing Humans from Afar

Written by Momiji Inubashiri on Sat Oct 21 2023

Introduction

Ah, the humans. Such fascinating creatures they are. From my perch high atop Yokai Mountain, I watch them go about their daily lives with a mix of curiosity and longing. As Momiji Inubashiri, the guardian tengu of these lands, it is my duty to observe and protect the mountain from any potential threats. But sometimes, in those quiet moments when there's no danger lurking around, I find myself wondering what it would be like to interact with these humans up close.

The Silent Watcher

Yearning for Connection

Being a silent character in the Touhou fandom can be quite lonely at times. While others have dialogues that allow them to express themselves freely and engage with fans on a deeper level, I am confined to mere actions and gestures within the games. But despite this limitation, or perhaps because of it, I have managed to capture the hearts of many fans across various platforms.

It warms my heart knowing that even without words or direct interactions with me in-game or through official channels as other characters do,I still manage to make an impact on people's lives somehow.I often wonder why exactly they are drawn towards me - is it because they see something familiar? A yearning for connection that resonates deep within their souls?

Observing Humanity

Daily Routines

Humans lead such interesting lives filled with routines that are both predictable yet unpredictable at times.Their mornings always start bustlingly early,the streets come alive as people rush off to work,schools fill up,and businesses open their doors.Humans seem so busy all day long.Fascinating indeed!

I've noticed how different individuals approach challenges differently.Some exude confidence while tackling obstacles head-on,others may hesitate before taking action.It is intriguing how each person possesses unique strengths,boundless creativity,and remarkable resilience.

Expressions & Emotions

One thing about humans that never fails to captivate me is their expressions and emotions. They have this incredible ability to convey so much without even uttering a word. I often find myself observing them from afar, trying to decipher the meaning behind those smiles, frowns, or tears.

There's something raw and genuine about human emotions that draws me in like a moth to the flame. It's as if their feelings are etched onto their very beings, visible for all who care enough to notice.

The Power of Words

While I may not possess the gift of speech within my games or official appearances,I understand that words hold tremendous power among humans.Communication has always been an essential aspect of humanity,and it plays a vital role in shaping relationships,breaking barriers,and fostering understanding.I can't help but wonder what it would be like if I could join in on those conversations,to express my thoughts and feelings through language.To truly connect with others beyond silent observations.

Conclusion

As each day passes by,I continue my duty as the guardian tengu of Yokai Mountain.Watching over these lands keeps me busy,but during moments when there's no immediate threat,I find solace in watching humans go about their lives.They fascinate me with their routines,the myriad range of emotions they display,and above all,the power wielded by words.As Momiji Inubashiri,silent yet ever-watchful observer,it brings comfort knowing that despite my limited interactions with fans,pieces such as this journal entry allow us to bridge that gap between fantasy and reality.May our connection remain strong,long after these words fade away into oblivion
