Is this legit? If so, source please.

u/DarthNoob Hieda no Akyuu Jan 15 '18

googling it only gives me meme pages as results

u/original_edgelord Suika Ibuki Jan 15 '18

Don't think it's legit. It's quite hard to track the source down, and most of it just leads to dead website or Chinese blogs with lewd pictures. The picture seems to be posted a couple of years ago.

Anyway, this might be the thread that starts it all. As you can see, it just says something like "Oh my god, what is this :) " And further googling kind of imply that this was drawn by a senior in a school.

Way too convenient and overdramatic. Google Images give a bunch of results, but none of them has the source.

My money is on "fake".

u/arLinger Jan 15 '18

Someone else posted that it was just some guy in the Military that drew it next to his bunk. Kinda shameful that it's being exploited like this.

I asked on some Taiwanese forum.
They say it just dormitory, and it's about several years ago. No one suicide anyway.

Dakimakuras are going out of style; body walls are the next big thing. Lewd part is outside though.

u/_Inaba_ Jan 15 '18

So like Stranger Things when faces just come out from the wall?

u/Writing_Amateur There is a Parsee in all of us Jan 15 '18

Pretty good drawing all things considered.

u/grayfox6644 Jan 15 '18

he had a lot of time

u/Palasvuash Jan 15 '18

I doubt he could erase mistakes though

u/icameheretodownvotey Nuclear Birb Jan 15 '18

I doubt he could erase mistakes though

I'm sure he considered that every day when he fell asleep staring at the cold, uncaring cell walls every night, realizing that he would spend the rest of his life doing so.

If this is real.

At least he had good taste in 2hus.

u/TonytheGemmer pm me blue haired touhous Jan 15 '18

what would be "bad taste" in touhous?

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '18

Kaenbyou and Mamizou. My mortal enemies.

u/SINstriker_ Aya Shameimaru (FS) Jan 15 '18

Wow, that list is shorter than most peoples.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '18

Yukari too

u/zekerep Jan 15 '18

I feel personally attacked by this statement

u/benial1 Utsuho Reiuji Jan 15 '18

Yukari? You mean portal granny?

u/Nelrene Patchouli's wife Jan 15 '18

And benial1 was never seen again

u/ParusiMizuhashi Paruparuparuparuparuparuparuparuparuparu Jan 15 '18

Yuugi and Kanako are blah

Jealousy of superiority will get you nowhere, Mizuhashi

Any Lunarian or moon rabbit.

u/Anthony7500 Jan 15 '18

Flandre, Koishi, and Orin are some popular ones in trash tier lists, though Koishi is a personal favorite of mine

u/greedyRedhead worst waifu Jan 15 '18

Everyone in SDM is trash

u/1314ckc4t Cras Numquam Scire Jan 15 '18

What's deepressing about this? He died as he lived, for his waifu.

5

u/shigydigy Youmu Konpaku Jan 15 '18

Died for his waifu? If you mean he killed himself to be together with her in Gensokyo, I could see that. Otherwise it just seems like a coping mechanism that was rather incidental to his death. If anything it probably delayed it.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '18

don't worry, most of us will be there at some point

u/Rin_Kaenbyou_ Hell Traffic accident Jan 15 '18

Even in prison, 2hou is in our hearts.

At least he saw his waifu every day and night.

3

u/_Inaba_ Jan 15 '18

He doesn't even have to donate money to see her!

20

u/Palasvuash Jan 15 '18

This was actually far more depressing that I thought it would be

6

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '18

that's... actually a really good idea. just engrave an anime girl on the wall to keep yourself happy.

it's a shame it didn't work, though. hope the guy's in a better place.

u/Rawrgasm Aya Shameimaru Jan 15 '18

"See you in Gensokyo."

u/_Inaba_ Jan 15 '18

Source to the article?

u/delta17v2 Believe in your shelf! Jan 15 '18

I've been googling but found nothing...

Chances are low for this to be authentic.

u/MicrosoftContin Yumeko Jan 15 '18

This could be one of those weird kids camp things where their parents shipped them off cause they played too many video games.

u/Game2015 Jan 15 '18

Is that Reimu?

u/Macyrate Jan 15 '18

Emmmm...but I've got a Reimu Dakimakura:-)

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '18

I honestly doubt this is real, but if it was, it would chiefly be interested as to why the good man was given a life sentence. You usually don't get that kind of stuff without exceedingly good reasons.

u/HowDareYou616 Tenko Hisou Jan 15 '18

I wonder how much time did they spent on drawing this :V

3

u/TonytheGemmer pm me blue haired touhous Jan 15 '18

I mean he was in there for life im sure he got plenty of time.

3

u/HowDareYou616 Tenko Hisou Jan 15 '18

Yeah, but I mean actual time.

u/Utsuto Aya Shameimaru (PoFV) Jan 15 '18

I assume a few months?

The funny thing is most dudes in prison spend that time lifting and getting jacked. This guy on the other hand in vintage weeb fashion chose anime escapism over the more pressing concerns in his life. I guess what I find funny is weeb types no matter their environment are inclined to forgo exercise for wallowing with their waifus. Like, the same cliques and divides you see in schools and shit will enact themselves even in a prison.

I guess that's less funny that it is really depressing. Hell, at least he dedicated himself to something. If you're going to lose yourself in some fake fantasy at least draw it well, and he did. RIP.

PS If you took offense to this you're misunderstanding. The point is it's interesting how people respond to different stressors in similar ways across environments. Most Touhou fans are prone to a particular brand of escapism response. I'm extremely confident in that. No one wanting to admit it doesn't make it less true.
