i was looking through old threads that where from 2009 and really loved how innocent people were back then and it reminded me of one my touhou friend fans i met on facebook years ago (met him in 2008) he was the one who introduced me to touhou when i was posting weird stuff in my wall. and pretty much now his account was deleted for a reason i do not know. how i missed him and i wish i could contact him again, i wonder if he still likes touhou? does he still remember me?
and most importantly
do any of you have a similar experience?
:meiling:
ill always remember you, Slick88 (i forgot the rest of his name ithink it was like sucker or smthng)

I made most of my early Tōhō friends offline, at conventions, then kept up the connections either via web forums or by phone.
Sure, many of them are gone now. Most I think I could reach if I put enough time and energy into it.
But life is life
And things will change
Like scenes upon an actor’s stage
Tomorrow comes today
For all we know

It sometimes happens that I reconnect with a long-lost friend. Those are good moments, if rare.

(THANKS A LOT FOR THIS THRED CONTENT :extend: :fullpower: !These CAPS are for highlighting,navigating,do not be put-off or similar,pretty please).
(Nothing is meant as victimizing,reproachful,misleading to Anyone;forgive and correct me if I am at fault ).
INNOCENCE in INNOCENT FRIENDSHIPS (and INNOCENT FRESHNESS ,JOY , CREATIVITY,EARNESTESS and all properly related)...! That is 1 of THE MOST IMPORTANT VIRTUE(S) in everyone with fair chances of being THE MOST .
Be as it is for you (and Cookiestar and certainly lots of others from 2006-007-008-009 and parts of 2005-010-011; Far-East) are able "and be at peace a good deal",not a great deal since there is still the/your weight-down of " loss ",distancing,partly-melancholic-like nostalgia :you had a Good Touhou/Toho (Project) Friendship,Intercessor,Helper-Through...with presently ,so to visualize," embers,kindlings,longings" ANDeventual experiences for rebuilding/building anew&strengthening.
Be as it is Many " Touhou-ers","undefined" or "shy" or "cautiuos-cautious" and have had "only Beginner-Still Touhou&Related Connection " or None Truly so"willing to be friendly&open&steady ,striving for no imposing ,no obsessing,without fake promises, well-balancing/prioritizing,
P.S. I had Google +(Plus) ""Touhou Friend (Touhou Friendly Connection Beginner-Still)"" :
" Watatsuki Yorihime " ( w/ a Colored Face Avatar of Her from Silent Sinner in Blue Manga Ver.) :bigpower:
Indeed...Here I am (on this thread and posting at least)Among those "Many Touhou-ers...only Beginner-Still TH&REL Connection " here I am ,for the most part,mainly by "foruming&link-going-by-foruming ( moderately on MotK V 2 somehow ,better on MotK V3),on the "online/pen-online only (cirmustances explained further down"(also comparing with the "I made most of my Early Toubou Friends offline,at Convention Meetings then Kept up Connections online by "" Hieda no Mukyu"" ...
This since "My Knowingly(Unknowingly had been from June 2010) Touhou Beginning"(from End Of July and August Beginnings in the ) regarding Touhou Project (& Crossovers & Compatible & Community Potentials ); I have always lived in Central ITAly where/when there are to be found ,regular ,relative and indirect, interest, symphaty,and referencing but "some",limited,scattered,"hidden".

First true Touhou community I was in was on fanfiction.net (I go by "Lone Maestro" there), but it wasn't really a community insofar as most interactions were limited to you reviewing/favoriting my stories and me reviewing/favoriting yours. Probably the most concentrated repository of dedicated Touhou literature I've seen, and plenty of neat writing. Being the naive, lonely college kid I was, I viewed some people there as having true friend potential but it just seemed like all of us collectively moved on at some point. Welp.

For one reason or another, I think a lot of us have moved on to new things and have largely left Touhou behind. As for me, I haven't really paid attention to what's going on with the Touhou series for a long while, and I've since moved on to the Fate series (mostly due to FGO) and Hololive.
