Your waifu’s important life goal 16crystals 05/31/19 (Fri) 05:05:08 No.69829

Does your waifu have a (or many) canon life goal that she tries to accomplish, or wished that she could accomplish? And if she does not have a canon one, what do you think it could be?

Flandre does not have a canonically specified life goal, but based on canon and fanon information, I think she would like to get more freedom from her sister who puts constraints on her when it comes to leave the Scarlet Devil Mansion (or even just the cellar apparently…). I think she would like to be more free and independent, and I would do everything I can to help her achieve that goal. I would talk to Remilia and first try to understand the exact reason why she puts such constraints on Flandre. I think Remilia over-exaggerate the bad things Flandre could do outside (also, a person who tried to plunge Gensokyo into darkness is not in the best position to claim to worry about the wellbeing of others…unless she is actually worried that Flandre HERSELF would get into trouble if she went outside???). I also disapprove that she seems to not really try to help Flandre overcome her ‘’problems’’ (whatever they can be) and that she chooses instead to just restrain her.

I might be naïve; maybe there is a very good reason why Remila restricts Flandre’s freedom and that she did try for decades to make her little sister able to go outside on her own but it failed? Still, all this is shrouded in mystery (as with many other things in Touhou’s lore) and things might not be as severe as fanon seems to suggest. In my own headcanon, I like to imagine that Remilia does not put insanely strict constraints over Flandre, but that Flandre would still enjoy more freedom.

Youmu's important life goal is never stated explicitly in canon, but I'm sure it would be something along the lines of becoming a worthy servant for her mistress.

One of her main characteristics in canon is immaturity/inexperience and I think that her life goal is essentially the complete antithesis to that.

I wonder if she's ever meant to reach it.

When Youki disappeared, Youmu thought of it as a lesson from him. I think he will always be her role model in life and she will still need hundreds of years of training to even come close to his skill and experience as a guard.

But of course, being a worthy servant isn't just about swordsmanship.

She also shows interest in refining her other qualities as a servant.

She's specifically shown taking an interest in Sakuya's cooking.

Even if Flandre really was that dangerous, I still don't understand why she can't leave at all. You'd think that she would be fine around other strong characters, especially the protagonists who had faced her before.

Well, it does appear in canon that Marisa wants to be immortal without turning youkai somehow, and in her own terms. In fact, she did manage to create the elixir of life, but the concoction is so much no one can drink it. (Makes me think that she has no concept of percentages or molarity, but she has a concept of pi, so I dunno.)

She also wants to be immortal as she sees fit, that is, she can end her immortality anytime she wants to. So, she dies as she lives: In her own terms.

She can leave, fortunately! Not only is it specified in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense that she ‘’seldom’’ leaves the SDM (‘’seldom’’ is not ‘’never’’), but Flandre even recently went to the firework festival with her sister, as seen in The Grimoire of Usami. The true question therefore remains: Just how free is Flandre to leave the SDM?

In fanon, Flandre is often depicted as never being able to leave the SDM. There are even some extreme cases where she is shown to be left alone crying in a dark room that she is forbidden to leave (pic related is such example; Memories of Phantasm also depicted a less intense but still similar scene). Such depictions hurt me badly to the core. They not only make me extremely sad for Flandre, but they also make me angry and deeply hateful of Remilia, to the point that I could stab her in the heart with a silver dagger. Nobody who would do such a thing to someone (let alone her own little sister) is worthy of my respect. Fortunately, such horrible cruelty from Remilia seems to be nothing but fanon’s dramatization.

Oh, you're right. I just assumed that she never leaves the SDM because as far as I had known at the time, she had never been shown outside the SDM in canon.

But I guess that has now changed with The Grimoire of Usami. At least, it proves that she's not forbidden to leave the SDM at all.

>In fanon, Flandre is often depicted as never being able to leave the SDM.

Well, by suggesting that she might be locked away or a hikikomori, ZUN encourages speculation and dramatization.

But in the end, it's just meant to make her a mysterious character.

Maybe Remilia just treats her like a child?

Youmu also was in a similar situation before the events following PCB. I think she had never even left Hakugyokurou before. But a lot has changed since then and in WBaWC it seems like she now even frequently visits Higan.

I Love Ruby! 06/28/19 (Fri) 18:35:22 No.69910

Ruby's goal is simple but quite daunting: She wants to be a hero, and help others in every way she can. She was inspired by stories of her parents and of fictional heroes ever since she was a little kid, and she wants nothing more than to be like them.

She's really noble, and it's something about her that I love to death.

Her goal is to win the Love Live singing competition with her sister. She unfortunately doesn't achieve it, but she still tries to start a new group after her sister graduates.
