Whoops, seems like I forgot to put the song in the description! Silly me! For those who are wondering, it's "まもるクンは呪われてしまった！YO-KAI Disco". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A2ZoG_rBjBs.html
I mean, Tewi in canon actually does have more to her character than just being a prankster. She is much more intelligent than she wants others think she is, pretends to be subordinate to Eirin while actually just using her, and acts towards other earth rabbits not like just a gang leader but like a proper elder youkai. There's also has some mystery element around her, and she's probably significantly more powerful than she appears to be All in all, canon Tewi is actually much more similar to Yukari, than she is to Three Fairies of Light (like fanon tends to protray her)
@@MrNoobomnenie You seem to actually see a lot of the same things I do.. though I honestly doubt Tewi is just using Eirin. It's clear that the two trust each other, probably almost as intellectual rivals considered the kinds of wisdom Tewi must have accrued (I always love giving people the fun fact that Tewi is literally old enough to be Kanako's mom). She definitely acts like a subordinate to Eirin, though she has a lot more power in that relationship than she demonstrates and I think both of them know that. It probably started as a mutually-beneficial arrangement where they were just employing each other's services.. but I think over the 1,000+ years they've gotten to know each other, they've come to genuinely appreciate the other and wouldn't trade them for the world. That's the kind of vibe I get.
@@MrNoobomnenie Also, tewi is just so badass. She literally survived by her own when she was a normal rabbit, this means she was enough skilled and intelligent to survive enough time to transform in a youkai.
@@mythicalmew6054Tei is absolutely just using Eirin. Tei wants 2 things, 1: looking after the earth rabbits and 2: vengeance against the lunarians. Eirin comes into the picture as a source of information regarding lunarian technology and society which helps accomplish both objectives. Tei consistently shows absolutely no concern or loyalty towards Eirin and Kaguya whatsoever and if they were to suddenly be gone one day all it would do is cause Tei to go back to the drawing board. Eirin on the other hand only sees the rabbits as a source of labor and test subjects. Her contract with Tei is that in exchange for lunarian information, the rabbits must protect and support Eintei. It helps with maintaining security, supplies, and projecting power throughout gensokyo. At one point the rabbits go on strike and Eirin considers just letting them all leave and going on without them but Kaguya intervenes because she has her own uses for them as bed warmers. That is literally the reason Eirin kept them around. So yeah they are both just mutually using each other to accomplish their separate goals and will abandon the other as soon as it becomes counterproductive.
Be fanon Reisen is very hard. Your master Eirin is doctor, who's test all preparations on you. Also now you will stalked by Junko. Tewi... Well... She not changed
@@Merciless_Marbles Fanon Clownpiece is probably just all about America while Canon is just playful but powerful fairy Kaguya probably Neet in Fanon while Introvert but still Elegance in a way (which Fanon doesn't have)
Actually Tewi is theorically one of the strongest entities on Gensoukyou (being so old that she's either a direct descendant or the Inaba Rabbit itself, meaning she's basically from the God's Era and stronger than the Onis and such). It's just that 1: she doesnt care about politics and 2: she only uses her powers to run from the consequences or her acts. If she actually tried to use 100% of her "Luck Control" to actually dominate Gensoukyou there would be little to do to stop it. That's why everyone just let her do her thing for the most part... better being trolled than trying to fight her.
Tewi in canon is a mischievous but ultimately sweet bunny who has tons of hidden depth to her. That's why she's my favorite character. She seems like nothing but a prankster on the surface, but upon further reading you'll discover that she's an incredibly reliable ally to Eientei and is given absolute trust by Eirin to keep them safe, which is one of the highest honors. Her immense age (likely second only to Eirin) and the wisdom and power she's accrued over time make for interesting perspectives regarding her character, and there's a ton of potential for her. Unfortunately, fanon doesn't really see that, so they just stick with Tewi being a mean prankster and nothing else. That's why I like to write about Tewi and show others that there's more depth to her (as there also is with other characters).
I mean, there are quite a few doujins out there that depict Tewi in the matter you said you enjoy most - especially those that center around her specifically. You just gotta look
Continuing after Shuji Mikami above me, what this version basically is is a memefied version, but there are plenty of dojins and other works that depict her closer to fanon. It's just a matter of looking. And that goes for pretty much ever character in the franchise. Yuyuko being a glutton, Sakuya obsessing over Remilia, Alice obsessing over Marisa, it's not a bad thing, especially since ZUN heavily encourages it.
Oh man, this is just like that one time when some girl named Nora Stargazer accidentally followed Tewi through the Bamboo Forest and ended up walking right into a pitfall trap that led to Former Hell.
And also, I guess Tewi is another one who’s “better than she portrayed” . As in fanon she’s a prankster and nothing else, ignoring that she isn’t that mean, and she have the ability to give good luck. 🤔😅
@@BergmitetheBlueandPointy0712 if she doesn't use her ability it falls under the "scammer" portrayal, if she does it falls under the "reckless ability usage" portrayal
[ _looks at vid description_ ] Sorry but, an item is in need of clarification : Tewi *is not* a Lunarian rabbit. Within the Eientei quartet, only Udonge (Reisen Udongein Inaba) is. *:3*
I was hearing Penny's theme from Pokemon SV and then this appeared in my feed... i swear it fits just perfect, the timing was hilariously right with the music XD
Fanon Tewi is about being cute & funny Canon Tewi is about learning on how they "reproduce" themselves from bnuuys to youkis (Thanks wild and horned hermit for making me learned on how they reproduce)
As someone who sees Reisen as one of my fav characters, the fact that Tewi is her subordinate is one of the reasons why I really like her. She’s such a cute little rascal, and I mean that in a very complimentary way. Plus, she can be such a troll, kinda like me sometimes.
@@dantelawrence4676 no im at the clothes store looking for soup, i don't give a shit about tewi anymore but MY CLOTHES ARE COVERED IN SOUP IT'S FLOOD3D WITH SOUP!
I dunno Eirin tends to develop tunnel vision and Yukari likes to exaggerate her capabilities. Then again intelligence comes in many different forms. In terms of physical science and magic Eirin is probably smartest. In terms of history and philosophy maybe Yukari. But in terms of cunning, sociology, and economics it is Tei.
