I only recently discovered that I'm not the only one who has one, so I thought I'd make a thread specifically for petfu's here

If you wanna talk about or share images of your pet, do so here

My pet is a Yukkuri Remilia, I think we've had her for about a year now

We always call her Remi, Rem, or Remilia; she doesn't seem to like a specific name more than the others

She's a bit smaller than most Yukkuri, as she's domesticated and not fed as much meat as wild Remikkuri. It doesn't seem to effect her health, nor does she acknowledge it

When it comes to her personality, she's like most Yukkuri, and is very happy and carefree

She has a little bed, but she'll often sleep with one of us. She'll either ask us and we pick her up, or she'll fly up to our beds when we're asleep. We're all pretty used to waking to Rem snuggling up against us

Her and Kanon enjoy playing together, and will go in the yard to do so or stay inside and play on the carpet

That’s funny, the first time I came across the concept of ‘’petfu’’ was no later than last Monday, and now I see a thread about it on /mai/!

I don’t have a petfu and personally don’t see the appeal, the same way I don’t see the appeal for having kidfus (I’m not pretending, of course, that kidfus and petfus are on the same level).

To be honest, I always felt that the strong and serious emotional investment into multiple characters, who would hold different roles into the global fantasy, was weird. I really don’t say that to offend anyone, I’m just being honest about my gut feeling.

The way I usually witness it, waifus (and husbandos) are the more common type, and are usually the bedrock on which all others characters will be added.

Then there are the kidfus (daughterus and sonfus), which would usually join later and form, with the waifu, a family unit for the waifuist. They are, as I see it, an extension of the waifuist fantasy, as the waifu becomes a mother who raises a kid with the waifuist. My feeling is that around 30-50% of waifuists have at least one kidfu, but it’s just based on a vague impression. I think I’ve just seen once a person who said he had a daughteru before having a waifu, so it seems pretty rare.

More rarely I’ve seen ‘’siblingfus’’ (sisterfus and brofus, I guess I should call them?). I’ve always felt a bit perplex about those (and really, I mean no offense to anyone by saying that). How are they actually integrated into the fantasy? Are they (in the fantasy) adopted by the waifuists’ parents?

I know I’m speaking the same words of those who judge waifuists and that is why I remain very careful about that ‘’gut feeling’’ I was referring to, but for me, if someone would say he has a waifu, 3 kidfus, 2 siblingfus, 3 cousinfus, 2 grandparentfus, 3 petfus, and 5 friendfus, I would tend to think……..is this person actually filling some void in his life with all those characters?…

And how can you even find the time and mental energy to invest into all these characters? I just have a waifu, and I often feel that I don’t give her all the attention that she deserves…

I would be curious to know others’ perspective on that, and if you happen to have many kidfus, siblingfus, and/or petfus, etc. please let me know how it works. Maybe that’s all I need to change my biased mind.

On a second thought, I vaguely integrate the other residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion (the place where Flandre lives) into my fantasy, especially Remilia (Flandre’s sister) and Meiling, but it’s only when I imagine myself living in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. I imagine what it would be to be there with them, but I never talk to them the same way I talk to Flandre in my everyday life.

Oh, Remilia is my waifu’s sister. That feels weird for me to think you have a Yukkuri version of her as a pet haha. How did you end up adopting her?

It definitely depends on the person and is situational

Some feel that they are capable of taking care of kidfu's, and some do not. There are many reasons someone would feel comfortable adopting a character

>Financial stability

>Adequate spare time

>Actually wanting a child; there are a lot of waifuists that just don't see themselves and their waifu's as parents

My point is: Adopting a character or characters might feel odd to you specifically, but feels "right" for some others

And when it comes to siblings, they arent literally their sibling, but sort of an older brother/sister figure, which happens often in real life. Same with mother and father figures.

When integrating characters into the fantasy, it often doesn't have to make sense. Waifuism in general is like this, when having a fictional character as a significant other, you can't always explain how you got together or how things work

Hope that helps

I wanted to adopt a Yukkuri as a pet for quite awhile and ultimately decided it'd be a Rem

She's my favorite 2hu after Reimu and Marisa (Flan following short after), and I just felt like a Remilia felt "right" for our family, not sure why. I was thinking about that too hehe, I was wondering how you'd respond
