It mostly depends on where you wake up.
If I woke up in the human village I'd probably try to get in contact with someone who can actually speak English (or at least read it like Kosuzu), I'd probably visit Reimu while I'm there.
I think it would be pretty fun to just chill around the village once I learn some Japanese.
If I woke up at the Youkai mountain
I'd get fucked.Though getting picked up by Yukarin might also be fun.

Evaluate my immediate situation then go hiking (assuming I'm in the wilderness) with a high level of caution to learn more about where I am. I have experience hiking very tough mountain/desert terrain both during the day and at night and have very good perception, though I don't know how good it would do against spiritual creatures that could probably just sense my energy. If I don't have any of my weapons on me I'd try to carry around a big stick or a rock. I would hopefully find some kind of human civilization before "they" get me.

Sakuya and Meiling probably can't speak English.
Remi and Flan might (if we assume that they are English like some fan theories do) but getting to them would be problematic, you'd have to either convince Sakuya to get you there or somehow sneak by.
And if you managed to get to them how would you convince them to let you stay?
That you came there to apply for a job?
Considering how the faerie maids are basically just for decorations that might work, but it is kind of a stretch.
Also Patchy might speak some English, but I can't really see a way of convincing her.

Me playing with
>>108252 's words really doesn't deserve discussion this serious.
You are somewhat right, but I will add one more thing.
The interpretations of Gensoukyou vary quite a bit, it's not just canon and "super specific wish fulfillment fantasy" to use your words. There are degrees to this.
There are some interpretations where the changes are minimal and obviously there are those that wipe their asses with canon.
Not to mention canon itself isn't always consistent with itself (Reimu's personality for example).
>>108268Might check them out later.
I do agree with you, but I also think that there's absolutely nothing wrong with artists taking a big creative liberty and just doing whatever they want.
When you look at some of the older fan creations (especially those made during the peak of Touhou's popularity) they often just did what ever they wanted, and I really miss that kind of spirit in the modern fan works.
No.108287
>>108280>When you look at some of the older fan creations (especially those made during the peak of Touhou's popularity) they often just did what ever they wantedThat's because there was a lot less canon info on Touhou back then. Since then a lot more worldbuilding has been done and a lot of things have been set in stone. It's not that fans previously discarded canon, but rather that there wasn't enough canon out there to shut down certain possibilities. In essence they were just doing what
>>108268 described, but they had more room to play around with.
By the way, you might think that this would mean that I'm indirectly saying that the progression of canon is "killing" headcanoning and fanon interpretations but frankly you couldn't be further from the truth. I think all of this added information is allowing headcanons to get better, if anything, because now people are really being forced to dig into the franchise and characters that they like if they want to come up with something good, it's an incredible display of passion. Plus (though this comes from my experience with some other unrelated hobbies), there are a LOT of people out there whose creativity blooms when you put them in a purposefuly restrictive environment. For some it's more fun to build a house with a limited set of tools than it is with unlimited resources. Hopefully this wasn't too confusing to explain, I'm a racing fan so I always found it very cool when people try to find loopholes in the rulebook or do their very best with what it lays out to them.

>>108287>That's because there was a lot less canon info on Touhou back then. Since then a lot more worldbuilding has been done and a lot of things have been set in stone. You're absolutely right about that.
I get why people like fan works that follow and expand upon/play around the canon.
And quite frankly I do like them as well.
But my point was about something completely different, that is that both of these types of works (the ones where the authors work with/around the canon and the ones where they large liberties or out-right ignore parts) are enjoyable for different reasons,
you might not like the second type and that's perfectly reasonable.
I happen to find some of the more extreme interpretations quite amusing.
I guess my point is that nowadays there are way fewer people who would produce such fan works, and I find that quite sad to be honest.
At the end of the day I really think it just comes down to what you think Touhou is and ought to be.
Many people seem to enjoy digging deep into canon and it's influences.
I personally don't find it that interesting to go deep and discover every tid bit of information about a character, but that's me.
No.108292
>>108290>my point is that nowadays there are way fewer people who would produce such fan works, and I find that quite sad to be honestI agree with everything you said except for this, I think you missed my point a bit. It's not that there are less people producing the fanworks you speak of, but rather that the "extreme interpretations" you're thinking of were expanding upon/playing around the canon that existed back then, at least for the most part, there will always be exceptions of course. And then, as time went on, the people people who had said headcanons get contradicted by canon information preferred to retcon their own works rather than stick to their guns.
The tl;dr is that it's not that the number of people taking liberties got smaller, but rather that number of liberties that people could take did. The intentions always remained the same, does that make sense?
