Added to Charisma Break cause well, you read it right?
on to the topic at hand, god this person is good. the sense of paranoia you feel from Remilia along with the complete seriousness from everyone. the timing is perfect throughout. just amazing through and through.
This is the first one where I've laughed so hard that eventually I just had to rest my head on the desk for five minutes and regain my control. Well, on to the next!
"This room is ripe with the stench of bitches" Not only did this line make me laugh so loud my neighbor knocked on my door to tell me to shut up, but I can swear I heard it before and didnt laugh as hard... (perhaps it was just the lead up that made me laugh that hard)

Along with about 5-6 other pages. I think we have our selves a meme here as there's been some references to this in other touhou sectors, similar to "I can't hear you over the sound of my breasts"
When Charisma collides with Puberty. Remi's thinking like a young teenager with the ego the size of Jupiter and and imagination the size of Saturn with perverse rings to go with it.
At first it seems reasonable considering how so many others have Sakuya as a Remi-con, but as soon as it gets to "OH DAMN, PACHU'S MAD!" Remi's clearly losing it.
This goes beyond Charisma Break. This is a Charisma Fission Bomb, tearing apart the atomic bonds of Remilia's unflappable demeanor and produce an explosion of embarrassment.

Hold on a second. Deluded she may be at the thought of raging lesbians, Remilia had decided to make a stand with "Come on then!"
In a weird, twisted, and hilarious way, we could say that this might count as charisma establishment.
What specifically is this the origin of? Even though it's a charisma break, she's not doing the traditional pose, and I don't really see anything else in this that's become memetic.

I've seen the "Raging Lesbians" line and the "The room is ripe with the stench of bitches!" line referenced quite a few times.
A more natural-sounding translation might be The room is suffused with the stench of bitches or The stench of bitches has permeated the room or even The stench of bitches fills the entire room!
I don't like rife for a couple of reasons: the stench is a singular object which rife does not naturally go with; and the original translation has become notable like a Woolseyism, albeit accidentally.
Surely ripe is the correct word, since it can be taken as 'the room is ripe (as it is filled) with the smell of bitches.' It seems to me that the room is described as ripe and the part after is a qualifier.
As a non-native English speaker, I didn't even know rife was a word. 充満 can be translated as being "filled with" | "teeming with" | "pregnant with".
I would still prefer the use of "ripe", as it is a mistake common enough for most people to ignore it, it is already traditional here, the translation has survived for five years without anybody pointing at that and "ripe" sounds more gross compared to "rife" (as it has absorbed enough bitchiness to be ripe itself).
kittey said: Ripe can mean smelly (see number 9 here), but only when it’s by itself, not with with. This source (and only that one) claims that ripe with is correct when ripe means smelly, but that seems more like a cop-out because it’s hard to explain why it’s still wrong. I believe something like ripe from is correct in that case.
If ripe is synonymous with smelly, then "...smelly with the stench of bitches." still sounds fine to me. Even ignoring that, I'd argue that this mutation has supplanted the original usage, and should just be accepted as a natural evolution of the language. Besides, most of the commenters seem to like the old version better.
If you absolutely can't live with this, feel free to change it back.
Just to put my two cents in on the whole ripe/rife issue. It's true that "rife" would be correct. Ripe can be used but it is moderately incorrect with this context. However it can also be argued that this is Remilia's vernacular and is therefore excusable.
Ripe is more quotable though...
