I have asked this once and I will ask this again: how can anyone in a yukkuri-populated universe POSSIBLY think that it's a good idea to have doors like this around? Do they not understand that yukkuri are invasive little parasites and know to throw themselves against these things? I mean they have to, how many stories have this exact same picture with yukkuri to blame?
I swear to god, the humans in this universe are almost as incapable of learning as the fucking yukkuri.
I often notice no matter how old the work, the yuniverse these yukkuri stories act like yukkuris have only been around for a few years maybe a decade at most. :/ people are still often clueless about them in a story. There are no yukkuri-right groups, no YouTube culture, no research behavioral/biological centers, no international yukkuri breeders association, etc... All of which would make the average person more informed of yukkuris.
I have to say though, it hurts my fist to even tap glass forcefully. How the hell do pastry-creatures not go splat trying to break it? This picture is not very realistic, so it's not really the house owner's fault.
I don't even understand houses that have entire walls made of glass. It's one thing to have an elevated window, it's another to have an entire pane made of glass.
Seriously, who designs these houses? I know it's 'plot mechanics,' but really.

That's pretty much been covered in artwork or written fanfics. The Factory does research, you'll see YuTube or YunTube in artwork (usually portrayed as an abyuse video site) and older works feature (P)eople for the (E)thical (T)reatment of (Y)ukkuri.

They don't body-slam their way in. They're depicted as spitting a rock into the glass to break it.
Ah, now it makes sense. So do they first create a small crack and then force in a piece of rock?
As for my previous comment about rights and YouTube... Don't remember the point I was making with them. I feel like I had a thread of thought and it burned away. So I can't really respond properly to that. (This often happens with me. Sorry. I have some mental problems That will take a while to recover, so I may put down a comment and won't remember where I was going with them.)

Is it odd that this is partly what I plan to base my story on?

No, the one thing yukkuri do well is make critical hits on plate glass doors, and always just large enough to enter but not shatter the entire pane.
We need to make an equation and call it OYP Constant. Kinetic energy of pebble (solve for X) expelled from mouth of yukkuri is always equal to glass breakage directly proportionate to yukkuri diameter.
As far as people oblivious to yukkuri acts in a world they've been part of for years, it's possible that yukkuri have grown in numbers and spread to places where they've never been. And that can even be parts of a city. I could see yukkuri wanting to live in the fringes of society, but due to population growth or being driven from public places, they go to residential areas.
Wall windows lets in lots of light and reduces energy cost, although it does suck heat during winter. I think in Japan they are generally located on porch/balcony/exit to backyards. It allows the occupants in the room beyond to admire their backyard without having to open on a cold day.
Yukkuri deals 500% more damage to windows but receive 2000% more damage if they don't use their karma points, which tend to leave them with 0 when the humans come home.
So when you say yukkuri diameter...(I don't know why I find this term hilarious) you mean its size? I'm not a math person, but that's interesting. Am correct in saying this is magical rather than physical capabilities? And somehow only applies to windows? They are, after all, not that strong.that would make:
X= D x M M= magic D= diAmeter X= kinetic energy of the pebble.

Marisa has level up!
Choose ability: Window breaking or Common Sense?

Definitely innate magical capabilities. But maybe another area of measurement is needed, since diameter doesn't account for accessories, even if their normal form is a ball. Let's just say the buggers can make a hole just big enough to go through without breaking the entire pane.

... It all makes perfect sense now!
Achievement Unlocked! Marisa learned Breaking & Entering technique! Marisa now has 5 EP, and allocates 1EP to Stealth (automatic fail), 1EP to Breaking & Entering (automatic success), 1EP to Refresh technique (+1 offspring per encounter, automatic success), 1EP to Smooth Operator (+10% charm other yukkuri, -10% charm all other life forms) and 1EP to Gourmet (+5%/level of finding sweet-sweets).
Newbice said: Not at all. I've been reading your comments here and there, and I'm not surprise that's the kind of thing you'll write.
I'm kind of a strategic person. I learn the behavioral patterns of animals and humans alike. I can almost always tell you the next two or three things someone is going to do just before they do it.
I've been drawing up a long story in my head -- different chapters, different studies, and the ever-expanding family of yukkuri my anon will have. I don't plan on focusing on any kind of abyuse, just different means of studying/raising yukkuri in a docile, mostly unsupervised environment. It'll eventually build up to a full-on yukkuri ranch/adoption agency/kennel service. Going on a business trip? Feel free to drop them off. Can't make it? We can send someone! Or just ship them over in one of our little packages! Bodied yukkuri? No problem! We have rooms for rent.
I have ideas to change much of how the 'simplistic' current system works, and correct many of its errors. Even thought of having a CEO figure of The Factory meet with my anon, and both of them exchange research.
The more of the depressing stories I read on here, the more inspiration I have for the anon to become the human dosu. x3
Even thought of a hilarious running gag where the first yukkuri he adopts is a Marisa, then they get a baby ko, and the Marisa introduces herself as the daddy, and anon as the mommy (even though male) simply because yukkuri don't gender-identify based on genetalia -- they identify on who actually births the children.
I find inspiration from things I criticize as well. Though they never find completion or meet paper (chronic daydreamer syndrome. lol). Good luck on you stuff, though. I'm finding most stuff to be the same things over and over lately. It would be nice to have something other than pet yukkuri abuse, though I don't really have anything against it(I'm more a fan of light bullying, cause it's so cute <3)

Perhaps the magic affects only a specific area large enough for the yukkuri. As in the energy can only affect the area wiithin it, preventing absorption outside of it's radius, and thus the energy is concentrated...? I think I'm getting too deep into this...

I don't mind light bullying/teasing. I wrestle with my dog all the time. It's how we play. She doesn't get hurt, but we roll around and stuff.
A lot of what I'm doing right now is simple expanding and deciding on the order of events. I'll give you a sample of what's planned:
Prologue: Meets yu family next to house, slowly befriends, Reimu is ex-pet, mistrusting of humans. KoReimu has mold problem. Befriends Marisa parent by saving KoReimu from mold (I'm hella-good with an Xact-0 Knife). Reimu opens up to anon, tells story of being pet. They disappear (99.9% chance they're dead) Ch1: Meets a stray Marisa who has spare hat being bullied by human. Breaks it up. Learns Marisa's past. Takes her home, insisting not as pet. Get to know each other. Meets another family with only Reimu mother. Ch2: Finds family with single mother beaten and squished. Takes them home and salvages. Finds dead Nitori mother carrying stalk in storm drain. Takes stalk, matures it, but has to remove first two buds in order to save third. Now has KoNitori.
Still deciding on order: Meets yu clan, moves them into backyard to avoid mass extermination Works with clan leader (Patchy) to set up farm in backyard and building small house structures for clan Scum treatment/adoption pt.1 Adopts a stray KoFlan First Marisa becomes bodied KoFlan is adopted by Marisa as child. (not Ko)Flan becomes bodied. Flan urges anon to let her adopt a Meiling Some clan yukkuri want to move into his house; tells them about being pet yukkuri; does research, becomes official proctor, begins having MommyReimu help teach clan yukkuri who wish to become pet yukkuri, including his own lessons Learns of flaws in badge system, comes up with own sets of ideas, including RFI RFI + scum behavior research thickens. Catches attention of "Factory" CEO, or possible majority shareholder of sorts. Constant meetings of them, discussing all sorts of things Gets into contact with adoption agencies. Gets notified of rare yukkuri put up for adoption. Converts house to yukkuri adoption center, expands to kennels, and even rents out rooms to bodied yukkuri for other anons to drop off 501-C(4) (non-profit) "Password" system Profiles pet yukkuri to help adoption streamline Adopts Satori and Sanae Brings dosu to clan Etc.etc.etc.
Seriously. I have a LOT of material, I just need to decide on order, as I don't want it to get too cluttered.
My usual method of writing is penning down a series of stories and then finding a way to connect them together. Since you seem like the "I-have-a-lot-of-ideas" type rather than the "natural-progression" type, you might benefit with this strategy.
I'm not sure how you're going to juggle that, because I have trouble juggling MY stuff, and I'd feel like a hypocrite trying to give you advice TT_TT
But you sound really solid. The only thing left is penning it down ^_^
Well, the order is semi-important due to who is going to be present during each thing.
This is going to have a natural progression, where my character starts out with no yukkuri, and helping some strays who live on his property, to having a full-fledged yukkuri adoption agency/breeding/training business, and owns patents on training methods/technology that help owners with their yukkuri.
In other words, the story starts small, yet changes the entire world. <3
Alas, I couldn't stop Reimu.
Or rather, for some reason she runs away.From what I heard from a friend that knows a lot about yukkuri, She's probably trying to get [Refreshed] by a stray yukkuri.
[I have heard a lot about strays breaking the window from outside, but it's the first time I heard the window is broken from inside, lol] is what my friend told me while laughing, looks like my Reimu is a new kind.Yunyun <3...Why?Maacha is going on adventure no jeYuwaah <3
Mom is awesome no je
