Cirno is used for tips from the mathematicians perspective, like how certain mathematics concepts are implemented in Lean, while Rumia is used for tips from the computer scientist’s perspective, like syntax help. twitter.com/leanprover/s...

Hi all! I'm still alive and will be hosting a Touhou hijack panel at @touhoufest.org! I'll be going into why Touhou hijacks keep happening and some of the cool things I've discovered over my years of researching hijacks. Hope to see you there!

For Touhou fans, cosplay and hijacks are a way to patch discontent with the world of Gensokyo. And as seen here and with other examples I’ve covered, this has been quite successful. Like Cao Fei, Touhou fans have built their own ecosystems wherever they are around the world.

Cosplayers (2004) is also exhibited. In a 2008 interview, Cao Fei says that cosplayers “let the characters replace themselves in their everyday lives and routines...[reflecting] the younger generation’s discontent with their actual roles in real life.” art21.org/read/cao-fei...

Finally, u/yuyukosaigyouji2003, also unaware of previous Touhou videos (they learned about it from a Pikmin video), asked /r/2hujerk for Yuyuko videos to put on the billboard. A Yuyuko fumo spinning video was suggested and went up on July 19th at 12:31pm. web.archive.org/web/20230716...

This was all under the impression of it being the first Touhou video on the sign. The only hitch was Kakkoi’s cigar. As cigars were banned from Times Square ads, it had to be replaced with a candy cane. The clip aired on the afternoon of July 15th. twitter.com/GensokyoOdys...

In July 2022, @Kronington filmed himself in New York City in a Marisa cosplay for a Gensokyo Odyssey cutscene, but he found himself dissatisfied. In July 2023, he decided to contact the TSX-owned hotel for a one minute video of a Marisa cosplay clip and the game trailer.

The next video, a Yumemey Renko and Maribel video (youtu.be/m7cY9LmUo9A?...), was set up by @Zookie_Wookie. It went up on July 13rd at 8:31am. This was planned before the Ran fumo image even aired (July 8th) - Zookie had learned about the site from a CSGO crate opening video.

The person behind the Ran fumo was hoping to meet new people through this. The hijack was done using the Take Over Times Square app (by TSX Entertainment - the site is since defunct) which offered 15 seconds on the Times Square screen for $40.

The only other notebooks in this genre feature Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece. Having FOUR separate Tenshi notebooks among these other fairly generic notebooks seems too much to be a coincidence. www.agrafe.tn/cahiers-nume...

There's not much rhyme or reason to the art stolen, the most recent was from March 2016 (www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/...). With the Flandre source dead, there’s not much to go off of. Presumably, this is another case of art stolen without much knowledge of Assassination Classroom itself.
