    遅い、あけまして

    絵を投稿するのも久しぶりな感覚、遅いですがあけましておめでとう。　大した目標はないけど去年は精神的に何度も追い詰められた感があったのであまり描いて投稿する余裕がなかったりと、散々だったので今年は・・毎日とは言いませんが毎月何枚かは投稿できるといいなと思います

    Wait, Mima as a miko?
    What is this, I don't even

    Guys

    Guys, I think my brain just exploded.

    Then gather up the bits so I can explode it again with a crazy theory.

    I theorize that Mima was THE FIRST Hakurei miko (or the last one before Gensokyo was made) and killed herself with a knife because she fell in love in the human world and didn't want to leave. Which made her a vengeful spirit; vengeful against Gensokyo for almost taking her away. Which leaves one loose end...

    The person she loved. Yuyuko Saigyouji. I think the two committed a love-suicide together under a sakura tree, and while Mima slit her throat, Yuyuko stabbed herself in the stomach. A stomach hole would turn her into a hungry ghost, and perhaps the suicide gave the sakura tree youkai-dom and created the Saigyou Ayakashi. Even if it stands against canon a little bit, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
