THE CAPTAIN NOOOOOOOOOOO!!

[spotto]

Touhou Eighth Popularity Poll... I voted in it. Today results were in and I have not slept in like 23 hours (might not be much for some *cough*Souless*cough* but since I've actually had enough sleep lately I am exhausted---HOWEVER ADRENALINE HAS KICKED IN!)

And I will have my comments in the cut, but I got to say: SO DISAPPOINT, TOUHOU FANDOM. SO DISAPPOINT.

Gotta start with the obvious.

MUUUURASA! WHY DID SHE DROP TO FIFTIETH!? ARGH. I am SO disappointed in you Touhou Fandom! So many people over here in the Western fandom (namely Littleshrimp, cough) have made her completely awesome, and not ONLY that but there have been a few awesome doujins and amazing fanarts of Murasa and GOOD GOD YOU ARE COMPLETELY FAIL TOUHOU FANDOM I JUST CANNOT COMPUTE HOW GODDAMN RAGE I AM ABOUT THIS RESULT!

I mean, if she went up or dropped like, two or three spots that would've been expected (I hoped for her to go go higher than that, though), BUT TO DROP ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE!?

RINNOSUKE IS MORE POPULAR THAN MURASA!? You're KIDDING ME. SHIZUKA!? The Aki Sisters always joked to never be cared about!? 

If I had voted Murasa first, she'd have gotten TWO points instead of one, and then ask someone who has her in their top five to vote for her at some point too and then SHE'D HAVE ONE MORE VOTE THAN RINNOSUKE. I can't believe having her first instead of Koishi COULD'VE ACTUALLY INFLUENCED THE RESULTS. 

EVEN THEN. WHAT. WHY. WHAT THE HELL. I AM SO DISAPPOINT. THIS POLL IS RIGGED! How can the Captain be so low!?!?

Seriously when I frist saw this I scrolled down mostly going "WHERE'S THE CAPTAIN WHERE'S THE CAPTAIN!" and my face slowly went from excitement to WOE as I keep SCROLLING until FIFTY!

*breathes*

Alright, alright I'll comment on something else. Like Koishi being fifteenth, like Koishi jumping up seven spots....and not requiring my vote at all. Agh. Agh. I could've had Nue in there, but she went up a few spots anyway, as did Shou. AGH. I'm just so...wtf Japan. All of UFO either stayed where they were relatively or dropped. The biggest droppers were Kogasa and Murasa. Kogasa dropped thirteen spots WOW, but Murasa hits home harder because she's like fifteen spots lower than Kogasa. I voted for Nazrin too but she dropped anyway, besides Koishi, Ran went up considerably from last time. I DIDN'T HAVE TO VOTE FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY HAD STRONG SHOWINGS ANYWAY but egads, egads UFO! Beloved UFO, so low.

Even Byakuren dropped and she has the most potential to go high, to grab the top ten spots like Satori and Sanae and...YUUKA!?

Wow, Yuuka is third. That's crazy insane. I like Yuuka myself. She has tons of good material out there, but third was just out of nowhere for me. I'm still more shocked at Murasa's pitiful performance, agh. The feeling it won't come off! I knew Yuuka was in the top ten before but I never would've imagined that she would break the top five barrier---she even beat Marisa! Marisa, the harem lead! Sakuya amazingly went up though, grabbed second spot. Wow, I don't recall anything specific that could've boosted her that high but she has tons of fanworks always spouting out for her that is too frequent for me to follow, so yeah.

AS FOR PC-98 characters...I was curious where Mima would show up. I imagine if ZUN did bring her back she'd shoot up into the top five like Yuuka, I'm willing to actually bet she would if she is brought back, serious. The green-haired girls always have strong showings, like Sanae! After seeing Murasa's performance I checked where Chiyuri is and she dropped seven spots as well..

WHERE IS THE LOVE FOR THE SAILORS!? WHEEEERE! D: (I always thought Chiyuri was one of the more popular PC-98 characters @_@)

Why does Shikieiki keep dropping!?  Aya made a rebound from last year, so Shikieiki should too! Well, if she showed up more maybe, but Yuuka is like FOOM near the top so Shikieiki can do it too! Okay she wasn't in the PC-98 games but that's besides the point!

I may comment more later, some are dropping like flies while others are staying steady. (Looks like Keine is still 30th, SA all pretty much went up. Glad Orin isn't as low as before, Parsee is steadily rising. I think Yuugi fell though and as always no one cares about Kisume. Wriggle is so very low, as is Tewi...sigh.)

So, now I know my plan for next year...vote for:

1. Murasa
2. Chen
3. Lunasa
4. Tewi
5. Wriggle

UNDERDOGS GO! I SUPPORT YOU TO THE END!
