【連縁/Len'en】Houlen Yabusame's Exciting Daily Life (KKTHA OP parody)

[@aleph_d]

It's FAQ time! (Thanks for +1k. views :0) --- > Will you make KKHTA-esque story?: As I said in the description, I don't have plans for it, simply because it'll take too much time. I won't even make it on AO3, simply because I'm not confident in my writing skills (English being my second language), however I might make a draft video explaining plot in a nutshell Aww, that's a bummer... Le'KKHTA never then?: No! There is a fanfiction that goes by the name of "Cute Len'en Story" which is anything but cute. There was a post about it in UWoM forum and you can read it at your own leisure, and just like KKHTA it's quite disturbing and unfinished, but I don't blame author though What programs did you use?: I forgot to put it again, but I used FireAlpaca for art and Movavi for film-making Will you make more videos?: Maybe That's all?: Yeah, if you have any questions, I'll add them (assuming I'll login through this account ever again)

[@occultCapra]

len'en isnt a Touhou Fan-Project tho

[@aleph_d]

@@occultCapra The reason I said fan-project as opposed to fangame is because it's highly inspired by Touhou in terms of game and story progression (that's why Mukai and Jigoku are also fan-projects, but Bullet Heaven and its sequels aren't). Fan-projects are their own thing of course Believe me, if someone said Len'en is a fangame I would've been ready to draw some girl suffering

[@CrocloBootworks]

I freekin love how as an extra detail you put a heart for tsubakuras face

[@melamiyakumo]

Jesus Christ I'm terrified my flashbacks have been triggered I'm honestly impressed!! Len'en's KKTHA would work amazingly with your artstyle!

[@aleph_d]

Too bad I'm not good at gore; even the slightest of injuries look so goofy when I do it Though, in my vision at least: HYEDL will be less gory and deaths are relatively quick

[@melamiyakumo]

@@aleph_d I'm more emotionally attached to Len'en characters than Touhou ones, because of that their deaths would be a LOT more painful to me so your vision might be the best

[@ssaamil]

KKHTA + Len'en??!! This the peak of being cultured.

[@gdplayergdplayer2754]

Плот твист: Мугенри это плод воображения Ябусаме, чтобы уйти от жестокой реальности и от неизлечимого смертельного заболевания, которым он болен

[@aleph_d]

Кстати это может быть 🤔 Когда я разрабатывал HYEDL, я думал что все тупо сдохнут когда Ябусамэ разьебет Мугенри когда Цуба умретб и останется только Цурубами который был снаружи

[@oranjaglad8648]

Weirdly enough, I have this KKHTA x Len'en concept, although Tsubakura takes Koishi's place instead of Yabusame. As for the other characters in this concept... Satori = Yabusame Yukari = Shion Flandre = Suzumi Koakuma = Mitsumo/Terumi Patchouli = Souko Remilia = Mitori Reimu = Tsurubami Marisa = Tenkai Sanae = Aoji Kanako = Hooaka Suwako = Kuroji Mokou = Saragimaru Star = Fumikado (Luna = Tsugumi and Sunny = Iyozane... not that they last long ofc) Cirno = Para Reisen = Sese Alice = Xeno A Nue = Yago Mamizou = Haiji Byakuren = Chouki Miko = Garaiya Orin and Utsuho = Lumen and Hibaru Meiling = Kaoru Sakuya = Sanra Either Eirin or Kaguya = Jinbei Yorihime = Serintsu Toyohime = Daijin Moon rabbits = Monochroids I only went over the major characters though. Also, I feel like a KKHTA-inspired story featuring Len’en characters would be different from the actual KKHTA’s story, but I’m not too sure on how it’d play out. This video kinda made me remember this (and it's also pretty good too).

[@aleph_d]

For an odd reason, there wasn't a notification, but it's interesting to see your perspective on potential KKHTA series I think in my vision, the closest character to Koakuma is either Sanra (because they rack up the most kills and are the most loyal to Mitori; though they will be killed off by Fumikado) or Mitori (due to them kidnapping Kuroji to make them their strategist; though in reality they're just their plaything). But overall I don't think there are going to be much "psycho" characters, and most characters are just terrified of another war breaking down (basically HYEDL is just BPoHC 2: the electric boogaloo) And a bit of a spoiler, Suzumi is pretty much the red herring of the story, despite them being an accomplice who enabled the incident in a first place

[@oranjaglad8648]

​@@aleph_d By the way, I actually have an idea for what the plot of this would be like. Imma go through each "episode" in order because why not. 1: This concept takes place about a month after the events of BPoHC. Tsubakura has a nightmare about Suzumi and talks to Yabusame about it. Yabusame is skeptical, but they're certain that everything's fine. Tsubakura eventually decides to go to the capital to sort things out, as that's one of the place that was affected the most by the BPoHC incident. 2: On the way to the capital, Tsubakura decides to make an excuse to borrow a "fishing rod", as they don't want anyone to know about their intentions for going into the capital, as that could raise a few eyebrows. They encounter Kaoru after attempting to sneak in, but after Kaoru fires an arrow at them and injures them after Tsuba tried to get in by force, Tsuba attacks Kaoru, mortally wounding them and leaving them to bleed out. Tsubakura is initially shocked by their brutality (and wonders at first why they acted out like that), but figures Kaoru could recover eventually. Meanwhile, Suzumi takes notice of this, planning to take this as an opportunity to torture Tsubakura. 3: Tsubakura roams the capital, eventually coming across Sanra. Sanra questions why they're in the city, to which Tsubakura tries to ask for a fishing rod. That's when Terumi (whom Mitsumo is using to get into the city without being noticed, hence why nobody notices anything off about Terumi) comes in and tells Sanra that someone attacked Kaoru. Tsubakura then nonchalantly tells them that they were responsible for that, shocking them, but Tsubakura, strangely enough, acts like this is normal, and that Kaoru can simply be healed if given proper treatment. Before they can elaborate, Suzumi attacks, causing both Mitsumo and Sanra to flee so that authorities can heal Kaoru and they can do something about Suzumi (who is now labeled as a traitor in the capital due to everything that happened in the incident prior). However, Suzumi cuts up Tsubakura's hat during the attack, causing Tsubakura to get serious and brutalize Suzumi in return. Before they can kill Suzumi, Yabusame steps in, stopping Tsubakura in time and giving them a slap across the face, causing Tsuba to see Yabusame more serious than they've ever been. 4: After the battle, Yabusame apologizes greatly to Sanra, though they fail to notice Mitsumo at the scene. Mitsumo (who is obviously faking innocence) cries and asks Suzumi if they're alright, while Sanra tells both Yabusame and Tsubakura that they're banned from the capital from now on. The next day comes, and news spreads about Tsubakura's sudden and violent attack, as well as Suzumi being beaten to near-death. Sanra visits a recovering Kaoru in the hospital, but meanwhile Suzumi (who now doesn't have any arms due to Tsubakura's attacks) is placed in a cellar in the capital, only visited by Mitori, who is interrogating them and is actually thankful that Tsubakura roughed up Suzumi for them. Suzumi doesn't take this well, snapping at Mitori bad enough to the point where they outright taunt Mitori about Iyozane, causing Mitori to leave, obviously very upset at the matter. Souko, who was visiting the capital to help out the Human Village, comes across Mitori, but before they can elaborate further, Mitori is called into a meeting with Yabusame, who came back to tell Mitori that Tsubakura was dealt with already. Meanwhile, Tsubakura is chained up in the depths of the Senri Shrine, fruitlessly attempting to escape. 5: It begins with a flashback to when Tsurubami was still in Mugenri, where they and Mitori were arguing over territory, which eventually ends with them coming to an agreement; that Mitori gets their city, while Tsurubami gets the rest of Mugenri. During the present conflict, Mitori is frustrated by Yabusame's stubborness, until Yabusame notices Mitsumo (who is still using their vessel yet the mirror isn't present) and points out how evil of a youkai they are. Mitsumo fakes innocence and tries to tell Souko that Yabu is lying, to which Souko (who doesn't know what Mitsumo's true appearance is) assures them that they aren't evil and warns Yabusame to not accuse others. This eventually causes the two to fight, and in the middle of all of it, Yabusame tries to use a hammer to attack Mitsumo, but Mitori intervenes and strikes Yabusame with their blood arrows, defeating them. Outside of the pagoda, Hibaru and Lumen notice this, with Hibaru in particular being interested by the brutal display. Meanwhile, Tsubakura, after suddenly gaining a burst if power, escapes their confines, while the rest of Mugenri starts erupting into chaos; youkai everywhere are suddenly transforming into their monstrous forms and going insane, even humans aren't safe. (1/?)

[@oranjaglad8648]

6: Tsubakura, using their technology in the shrine, is able to repair their hat. However, once they're on the shrine road and ready to leave, Shion approaches them, clearly looking distressed and noting that Tsubakura's soul is in serious danger. Tsubakura doesn't understand what they mean, but before they can ask anything more, Shion suddenly rips Tsubakura's arm off in a gruesome manner, shocking Tsubakura yet they feel no pain from it. In the Human Village, Saragimaru is attacking, even destroying the village in the process, and in the Shitodo household, Jun was captured and being tortured by an insane Aoji (who all the while was ranting about how they won't be in their siblings' shadows anymore), only freeing themselves when they controlled their umbrella to impale Aoji from behind. 7: This episode focuses on Aoji and their siblings's life prior to entering Mugenri; Aoji grew up pretty content with their siblings around, and everything was going fine... until elementary school, where people were bullying them and threatening them. This causes Aoji to run to Kuroji and Hooaka, who assure them that they need to be strong. Later that night, a few bullies attempted to brutalize Aoji, until Hooaka and Kuroji intervene and save Aoji. However, this is when the bullies make their plan; you see, the reason they attacked Aoji was because of a growing suspicion: that the Shitodos were somehow "witches", and because of that, they burn down the Shitodos' home, killing Aoji's parents yet the siblings fought back and killed the bullies as well, all before they were spirited away to Mugenri. With all of this in mind, Aoji dies (with Kuroji watching from behind), at least knowing that they were able to die as themself. 8: In the Dragonfly Castle, a monstrous Chouki has managed to recruit many youkai in Mugenri under the pretense that they'll rebel against the humans. For an odd reason, Yago seems in be in on this. Meanwhile on the Shrine road, Tsubakura uses ink to create a new arm for themselves, trying to dispatch Shion this time. Unfortunately, things go in Shion's favor during the battle, eventually causing Tsubakura to lose their limbs after Shion "consumes" a good portion of their body. In the pagoda, Mitsumo (now with the mirror by their side) verbally abuses Suzumi, telling them that they're essentially worthless. Strangely enough, Mitsumo uses some of Aoji's ability to help torture Suzumi, who immediately notices this and catches that something is off. Outside of the place, Hibaru, also driven mad, suddenly attacks the capital, to which Souko fends off. Meanwhile Lumen, shocked by all of this, carries an injured Yabusame away and promises them that they'll help get them to the shrine. However, while on the way to the shrine, Yabusame suddenly uses one of their portals to decapitate Lumen, apologizing for what they've done nontheless. Cutting back to the shrine, Shion decides to end Tsubakura's misery by consuming their soul, feeling guilty that Tsuba had to die, but nontheless sure that their soul is in good hands. Things are getting worse for Mugenri however; Fumikado brutally kills Iyozane and Tsugumi while telling their remains that they'll take over Mugenri for them, a crazed Kaoru attacks Sanra, Kuroji and Jun try to find out what's going on, Chouki and the youkai (including a newly recruited Kurohebi) make plans to conquer Mugenri, and so on. Oddly enough, in the midst of it all, Tsurubami returns, just so happening to teleport in the pagoda, where they notice something off about a puny youkai... 9: At the beginning, another flashback occurs; it turns out that Tsubakura and Yabusame were actually feared in the Outside World, mainly due to their "origins", although that is left vague. Yabusame, while Tsubakura hates to admit it, was more like emotional support for Tsubakura, especially after their mother died. In present, the Dragonfly Castle takes flight, with Yago deciding to assist with attacking humans via their weaponry. Tenkai and Xeno A notice everything and are trying to do everything to stop whatever is going on. Meanwhile, Shion, who is distressed due to everyone in Mugenri's souls going crazy, is attacked by Rei, whom they don't recognize. Despite Shion's power, it seems that Rei is far more skilled, as the fight eventually ends with Rei shooting Shion multiple times and blowing them up, all while Rei acts "cutesy" and doesn't even acknowledge the pain Shion is going through. However, through some unknown strength, Tsubakura's soul, due to being consumed by Shion, overtakes Shion's body, forming a fusion of the two (that looks like a more monochromatic Shion with Tsubakura's hair and clothing, although it still has Shion's eyes and other ghastly features). 10: Tsurubami interrogates Mitsumo, who outright taunts them about how long they've been gone and that the reason Mugenri is like this is their fault. Rei, who suddenly appears there, tries to shoot Tsurubami in the back while Tsuru pins Mitsumo down, only for Sese to blast Rei to bits using their bone cannon. Meanwhile, a crazed Fumikado comes across Para, who demands for Fumikado to give them their body back. In response, Fumikado (who is deluding about Iyozane and Tsugumi) attacks Para with various weapons, but Para doesn't let up. This is when we get another flashback, where Clause attacked Para the night before for some strange reason, causing Para to defend themself and accidently hurt Clause. Fumikado and Para get into a brutal fight, which eventually causes Fumikado to mutilate themselves so that they can escape from Para's siblings from crushing their leg, and while Para is getting painful flashbacks (from the night before, where they picture themself actually hurting Clause), Fumikado fatally stabs them. 11: The Tsubakura/Shion fusion is having trouble getting used to their new form, especially since both Tsubakura and Shion's souls argue over where they're supposed to go. In the pagoda, Mitsumo uses the dead characters' powers against Tsurubami and Sese, proving to be hard for even the strongest being in Mugenri to handle. Meanwhile, Clause tries to stop Fumikado, but Para gets up, preparing one last final attack as Fumikado tries to kill them one last time. The two are engulfed in an explosion made from Para's siblings, causing Clause to cry as they mourn Para's death. Outside the pagoda, the Tsubakura/Shion fusion realizes that this was the last major place Tsubakura went, convincing themself to enter despite everything that happened in the city the day prior. (2/?)

12: Tenkai, with Garaiya's help, goes to fight Chouki, while Xeno A deals with Yago. Yago effortlessly beats Xeno A despite Xeno A's luck ability, but thankfully Haiji intervenes, defeating Yago in a way that surprises Xeno A. During the end of the fight, Yago reveals that they weren't actually driven mad like the others, but rather trying to "help" Chouki since Mugenri was a lost cause. Haiji, using an ancient weapon of sorts, kills Yago, much to Xeno A's shock. 13: In the depths of the Senri shrine, Yabusame (with Lumen's soul) tries to find Tsubakura, Shion, or Jinbei, but can't. That's when they're confronted by Serintsu and Daijin, both of whom congratulate Yabusame for assisting their plan with what they're about to do with Mugenri. Yabusame tries to attack the two, only to be ripped apart by one of Daijin's attacks, and for the two to collect Yabusame's soul after their body is destroyed. Eventually, we cut to a flashback; Yabusame and Tsubakura were both free-range as children, and as such the two were put into danger in too many situations, one such example being one where Tsubakura watched a mother's life crumble to the point where she killed her own child. 14-15: Still in the flashback, it's revealed that Daijin and Serintsu deliberately wanted Yabusame to help Tsubakura. Tsubakura meanwhile is puppeteering the mother's body in Tokyo, causing onlookers to mock who they think is the woman. This causes Tsubakura to snap and their abilities to go out of control, massacring an entire block, only for Daijin to confront them afterwards. 16: After that whole ordeal, Tsubakura is suddenly spirited away to Mugenri, with Daijin looking on, as if expecting that to happen. Yabusame, confused by this, asks what happened, to which Daijin tells them that they can use their power to look for Tsubakura. Before Yabusame leaves, Daijin reveals something about himself: it turns out that he's actually Tsubakura's father. 17-18: Before they encountered Tsurubami, Mitsumo decided to put Suzumi out of their misery after deciding that Suzumi was no longer of any use (although Suzumi survived the blow). Meanwhile Kuroji tells Jun about their past and why they actually don't want to go back to the Outside World after everything they and their siblings endured. In the crazed Human Village, Haiji tells Xeno A that they actually got the weapon they used on Yago from a place called "Gensokyo". On the Mugenri border, Jinbei looks on, contemplating that something that night will happen that will change Mugenri forever, and that Daijin and Serintsu were behind the madness starting. It cuts to a flashback to the night before; using Rei and Mitsumo, Daijin was able to test the first madness example (a drug that turns anyone, human or youkai, insane) on Clause, who attacked Para and Para only mildly injured them. 19 1/9: It turns out that Daijin and Serintsu tricked the Outside World into forgetting about the humans being spirited away, until one day... where Daijin tells the world's leaders that "aliens" (aka Mugenri residents) will start pouring in and kill most of the world, to which they all have to prepare for. 19 2/9: After a hard battle with Mitsumo, Tsurubami and the other Mugenri residents look up to see a spaceship of sorts blocking out the sky, and Mitsumo kidnaps Souko and leaves for the ship. Hooaka and Mitori (as well as the unnoticed Tsuba/Shion fusion) follow Tsurubami and Sese to the Mugenri barrier, hoping that it's not too late, but Serintsu confronts them, telling them to surrender and that their demises are inevitable. Sese tries to stop this, only for Serintsu to take the first strike, killing Sese and starting his battle with Tsurubami. Sadly, Tsurubami is somehow outmatched, but Serintsu loses an eye during the battle. 19 3/9: All hope is lost for Mugenri; Hooaka and Mitori were both killed by Serintsu, most of the realm is in ruins, and Tsurubami is beaten to near-death. The Tsuba/Shion fusion attempts to kill Serintsu themself, only for Tsurubami to grab their leg and stop them, causing the fusion to lose hope as well. Jinbei is captured by Serintsu for an unknown reason, and all monochroids gather as Serintsu and them take their leave. The sun sets... and everyone in Mugenri is under the effect of Daijin's drug, turning into monstrous beasts, eventually culmating in a monstrous Suzumi breaking the barrier.

[@oranjaglad8648]

19 4-5/9: With the beasts set loose on earth, they destroy and kill anyone, causing a good portion of the world to lose its population. However, Daijin, Serintsu, and the monochroids help the humans, killing multiple characters who were turned into monsters, including Kurohebi, Shou, and Saragimaru (the latter of whom was killed off by Red-White, a girl that strikingly resembles Reimu). 19 6/9: Mitsumo, while holding a captive Souko hostage, reveals why they're assisting the bad guys; it's because of their love for Souko, and so they agreed to absorb everyone in Mugenri's souls after they died to become stronger, this also absorbing their abilities. Serintsu comes across a monstrous Suzumi, defeating them effortlessly and "thanking" Suzumi for aiding their goals, as it's implied that Tsubakura's mother's death is what pushed Daijin to do all of this. 19 7/9: Serintsu fights the last Mugenri residents; Tenkai and Tsurubami. The two dictators realize that they need to perform a suicide attack to kill Serintsu, which ends up working in their favor, but at the costs of their lives. Daijin, however, is ecstatic upon learning that the dictators are dead, as now Daijin can "purify" the earth; via making everything black and white and giving everyone immortality. Yabusame's soul watches, horrified yet mystified at the ordeal. 19 8/9: Everything ends off with Tsubakura and Shion, now both unfused and living their lives. Tsubakura acts like everything is normal, only for Shion to snap at them and tell them to remember all the good times they had in Mugenri. Tsubakura is horrified by this, wondering what they can do to fix it, but Shion won't even face them after everything. Tsubakura eventually feels something they haven't felt since their mother died: genuine emotions they held inside, and they're now happy to see that they're finally back to normal, while Shion mourns everything they've lost. 19 9/9: idk lol So that was my take on my KKHTA/Len'en concept's story. What did you think of it? Do you have any suggestions? I'd like to know.
