Well Fantasy Heaven is an inaccurate translation, for one.

What do you mean "Fantasy Heaven"? No such thing exists within Touhou. You must be talking about the mistranslation of Reimu's ultimate technique, 夢想天生 (Musou Tensei lit. Fantasy Nature). It's a power that allows her to become essentially invincible; it's assumed that she flies out of reality as the ultimate expression of her ability to "float". The reason Marisa names it 天生 (Tensei lit. nature) is because Reimu was born with that ability, it's completely innate. She also gave it a time limit as without that limitation then it would be unfair as a spell card. The name of the spell card is also a homage to Kenshiro's ultimate technique from "Hokuto no Ken" (Fist of the North Star), 無想転生 (Musou Tensei lit. Blank Mind Transmigration of Souls). This technique allows Kenshiro to become invincible, to achieve a state of "nothingness". Just like Reimu. Also interesting to note, Reimu's Fantasy Heaven theme in Touhou Hisoutensoku sounds extremely similar to the first OP of the Hokuto no Ken anime, "Bring Back Love" (Western fans have dubbed the theme "You wa Shock!" instead).

Oh yeah and if you haven't noticed, that's why there's a lot of art of Reimu as Kenshiro.

Thank you for clearing that up. ZUN's outside influences are highly tasteful and referential as always.

Well, why do you think the word fantasy is in "Fantasy Heaven"?. You go there only to find out heaven is not your ideal place. It's impossible to have such a place even if you manage to get there. It will only exist as an idea in your head and you can only limitedly express it any number of ways.
That is what otaku culture is all about.

How can I express it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>20160845
That's for you to figure out.

>>20160865
Any number of ways. Just some random examples: Looking at trains, making strange music, downloading strange music from others, dodging pixels, reading pixels, listening to pixels, drawing, drawing sexual acts, climaxing to said drawing of sexual acts, cuteposting, cuteposting but actually shitposting, staring ideally on the Jello™ Pictures imageboard catalog and some various threads for weeks an months on end as the greyness that surrounds you slowly creeps into your head. It can be express however you want it to be, but no one will really understand how you want your ideal world to be and you will never really get there. Hence "Fantasy Heaven".
