I like animated GIFs as icons but shrinking them to under 40kb is a bitch.
Currently I've got it down to 54kb from 200kb and still can't get it lower FFFFFFFFF

In the mean time I shall share another scenario/fanfic-ish idea for Touhou!
GENSOKYO CRISIS
Scenario

It is 20-minutes into the future for Gensokyo, perhaps a hundred years have passed, perhaps two. Nonetheless, a majority of the human characters of Touhou have long passed on. Despite the absence of Reimu, her heirs and their heirs have taken their shrine maiden duties seriously and maintained the border without much incident, unlike their most notable ancestor. Unfortunately life is not always as flawless as such and the next in line to take up the mantle of the responsibilities of a shrine maiden chose not to. They deviated from their destiny and ran off like a rebellious teenager. Alternatively, a tragic accident befell the descendent and they are no more. Or their predecessor did not have any heirs, either way something occurred that kept the border from being maintained.

Yukari Yakumo, the usual backup in case such shenanigans occurred was asleep. Autumn was ending and she had just gone into her deep winter hibernation. After several rude wake-ups from nosy tengus or some other sort of disturbance finally pushed the gap youkai to the edge, preventing her from her beauty sleep, she made it so that only her faithful shikigami, Ran Yakumo, could possibly wake her. That way should winter be over she would be woken up in time, but other outside events would not interrupt her beloved sleep. Should anything drastic occur that requires attention from Yukari, Ran would wake her up in seconds.

With the two most important figures of Gensokyo not maintaining the border, it weakened to a considerable extent. To the point that humans who have advanced technology exponentially managed to find a way inside and the fantasy that is Gensokyo was revealed to the outside world. This had disastrous effects on the majority of youkai. Youkai survive through the strength of belief. Though physical attacks do not faze them to the point that it would on a mere human, spiritually they were vulnerable. With most of the population easily dwarfing the size inside Gensokyo, suddenly the ratio of those who believed the existence of youkai to those who didn't shifted dramatically. Many weaker youkai disappeared all together but the stronger ones held on, sadly in substantially weakened states. No longer could Remilia control the fates of others, nor could even Flandre destroy everything in sight. Ran was one of the youkai affected when this happened and she no longer had enough power to wake up her slothful master. 

Fortunately, youkai who had disguised themselves as humans or at least knew how were unharmed. Other supernatural species not under the youkai category were not affected either, including the weak fairies due to their attachment to the nature as well as the immortals, being the immortals they are. Hermits too were none-too-affected besides realizing that there were far more humans than they had ever imagined. 

But gods and goddesses were not quite as fortunate, requiring faith to keep themselves alive. With a sudden world of scientists, their aura faded greatly, but the more resilent gods with the greatest faith managed to keep on holding on, albeit were practically on life-support at this point. No one in Gensokyo had realized the colossal importance of the border until now and it was far too late to fix anything at this point.

Or was it? Realizing this incident of such magnitude could not be ignored, Shikieiki, yama of Gensokyo, had come up with a drastic plan. She, being a judge, could not interfere herself, else violating the several strict rules against such being a supposed neutral and just judge. But that did not mean she wanted the living beings of her governing area to suddenly vanish as so many already had. While the shrine maidens, being efficient as they were, had already re-entered the reincarnation cycle...there was a particular ordinary witch who was not granted the same fate. 

Marisa Kirisame, being one of the great liars of her time and spending her human life robbing others blind was not granted the same quick entry into a new life. Rather, she was sent to Hell to repent for her sins. Since her spirit was still bound to memories relating back to Gensokyo and that she too solved incidents during the flourishing and prospering time of Reimu Hakurei, she was allowed back onto Earth on one condition. She would solve this final incident. If she cannot, she'll simply be sent back to hell, but should she succeed her time in Hell would be cut short and she could re-enter the cycle scot-free, with zero effect on what her future life may be.

CAN GHOST-MARISA SAVE GENSOKYO AND REPENT FOR ALL HER SINS!? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!!

That is all.
