Pool suggestion: Kishin Sagume - That's not how it works

Posted under General

Kishin Sagume's power to reverse situations seems to be often understood as making the opposite of what she says happen. And yet

touhouwiki said:

When she speaks about a particular situation or event, that situation will eventually proceed to reverse itself, through whatever means possible. If she speaks about an attempt to achieve a goal, it will fail in some way. If she speaks about something bad occurring, it will be resolved in some way. Due to this, she tends to not speak too much and always chooses her words carefully. Note that it is the situation or the event she talks about that will be reversed in some manner; it is not that the opposite of what she says must occur.

This is a pool for images whose author seems to have misunderstood her power.

Examples:
post #2177682
post #2172295
post #2167925
post #2114561
90% of pool #10353

Note that for post #2167925 it's not certain. While it seems that the author went for the usual misinterpretation, it seems likely that the actual power as described by the wiki would likely lead to the same results

It's just a joke.
This seems more like a personal problem for you then a situation that would require a pool.

And since the power thing is her whole identity, pretty much every picture with her and dialogue will use it.
So I'm against creating any kind of pool related to her character at all.
Many characters have gimmicks. We don't need a seperate pool for every single character.

Only about half so far, actually

Perhaps it's not really needed indeed, but I don't really understand what you mean by "it's just a joke". You mean that artists understand it but go for the simpler thing cause they can make jokes on top of it?

+1

One more thing I'd like to add.

I'm fairly certain that snip from touhouwiki is just a personal interpretation of the mechanics of her powers. The touhou fandom is full of those. Just look at all the craziness surrounding the fandom's views Yukari's abilities.
