This is definitely a duplicate image. It's related to the yukkurarium story (I think), but I can't find the exact image (and I don't really want to go hunting after all the tagging lately...).
Apparently they're starving and Reimu's telling them to eat up from her wounds, but the one on the left refuses to and is telling the other one to stop.
1. Mother is forced to give birth to children she doesn't want by your so called good parent. 2. Two of the children on the stalk die and she is forced bury them making a total of three children lost before her eyed.
So yah when the shit head is about to be punished by the Marisa she snaps, she's lost three children already of course she's gonna be overprotective.
It true that she made marisa make the nest by herself, she probably thought that was normal, the marisa's do the hunting, home finding, ect while the reimus do the nest building, child rearing, ect. It means she's just a normal reimu not a deibu.
And it is still touching that they did to feed the children and it's more touching what the surviving good marisa's response is.
The whole family is fucked up, but the Marisa is the better parent of the two.
Two of the children on the stalk die and the MARISA is forced to bury them.(Shithead later eats them by the way. It also kicks one of the baby yukkuri into the Remieya's hand)
DEIBU protects shithead, even after DEIBU(+whole family, just so you don't think I'm protecting them) Kill a KoReimu for eating their sugar cube. Shithead eat's the baby yukkuri's stalk, and DEIBU Stops the papa Marisa from making shithead stop eating the stalk, thus dooming the baby yukkuri. Is any of this getting through?
Quit defending it. It's clearly (the most) in the wrong.
Actually, this came after post #3065 Noticed a hole on the parents cheeks post #10270 The one sucking is Shithead and the one refuse to is a 'nice' one...
I'm not, I'm Just saying that they are normal Yukkuri. Not Deibu not or shit heads. (except for shithead marisa) I'm simply saying that this scene is touching. I was also annoyed last night because I'm tired of everybody viewing reimus in the worst light possible. They don't even try to be objective. I'm just saying it's not deibu. Simply a slightly below average riemu that's having it's instincts go nuts because it's lost four children (thank you for the correction on that matt) It killed on it's self (which was probably hard to do, had one killed by accident that it was trying to save, and then the two on the stalk. As for marisa digging the grave, again reimus are supposed to act like stereotypical women and be child rearing, , indulgent , nest builders. While marisa take the male role of stereotypical male type, doing the physical labor, hunting, ect. Yes the reimu fails at supporting her husband, but it doesn't make her a debiu just a low quality reimu. The true villain of this story is the marisa, who was sadly saved because the riemus natural protective instincts were on over drive at this point. All in all though that doesn't subtract form the this scene. especially the baby who is refusing to eat.
I usually agree with prefering a more fair treatment in story development about not only Reimus being "Deibu tier" but this Reimu isn't sympathetic unlike the Father Marisa, so you need to understand that regardless of her reasons, the Reimu really did some questionable and unlikeable things that don't deserve much sympathy or pity. I do think she isn't Deibu tier, but neither neutral or good yukkuri by a long shot. I think it would be better for you Coker, to not defend this "level" of yukkuris, since it seems you always do it even though they may not deserve the defense, after all, a victimc becoming victimizer is as bad, if not worse, than a victimizer for the lulz.
Anyway, how come this discussion started? are we sure this is the Yukkuaqurium family? if anything, it only looks like the artstyle, but dunno if they are the same yukkuris.
It's hard not to be objective when there's a whole entire series leading up to this point. I hope you realize this is just a colored scene of the aquarium family series?
If failing at parenting,nearly getting your whole family killed and protecting the shithead babies while being a no good loudmouth idiot that just wants to take it easy and not do anything doesn't make the mother a Deibu, you have extremely high standards for yukkuri.
Well in my honest opinion she's grazing the Deibu zone, and i mean grazing reallly close, mainly because of the freudian aspects that lead to her present attitude.
Of course, that doesn't mean she isn't any less of a shithead that deserves punishment, specially, after using the ko remiryas as base to get out of the yukuranium of them and killing them in the process. So she do deserve the flak, the hate and the proper punishment for her acts.
I sorry I disagree with you on but I disagree with you on a couple of points points. Still the thing that truly keep her form deibu are two factors.
One: she, really is trying her best to save/protect her family. For instance while it's true that she killed father Marisa she was horrified by the concept and did it reluctantly.
Two: While it's true that she seems to get worse as series goes on she also has suffers more and more physiological trauma as it goes on which is probably why she keeps degrading.
So yah is a bit a dumb-ass, and is get worse as series bit once again this probably due to trauma.
This isn't meant to defend her JIE but do keep in mind that not only did she lose her fifth child to a remila but she also had her entire family killed by remilas in front of her when she was a child. So she does have good reason to want them dead.
She doesn't have good reasons, the freudian excuse failed time ago, we only see a Reimu long ago grazing the deibuness through freudian excuses, killing directly or indirectly a great deal of not shithead yukkuris, including the KoRemiryas that i remind you, weren't shit head at all. And to make matters worse, the only yukkuri that truly deserves to die, is actually helped to survive by her directly and indirectly, thanks to her the shithead marisa is sitll around, thanks to her lenience the shithead still goes around ruining her family lives and aiding in the death of fellow family members.
So no Coker, there is no acceptable justification, no sympathy and no pity, the Reimu is clearly anything but sympathetic, and no freudian excuse is enough for all the shit she had done, she DOESN'T have good reasons for everything she did, including the koremiryas deaths.
If you can feel no sympathy or pity for her then you have no idea what trauma can do to a person and that is both a good thing (as you have obviously never had to deal with it) and a bad thing(because when the times comes you won't know how). The shit head is still her baby, of course she wanted to protect she had already lost four children recently. Also what this bullshit about freudian excuse I'm not saying that her witnessing her family get killed by remilas is a justification to do what ever she want I am simply saying that's part of why she is scared of and hates the Kos. Does this excuse her behavior towards them no. It does make it understandable though.
First of all Coker, i do know about sympathy and pity, and i think more than you, since you clearly are unnaware of an aspect that is very important about sympathy and pity, second i do know about trauma as well.
Yet i know that doing wrong things because of "traumas" and not stopping and just making matters worse, is nothing more than a freudian excuse, and no sympathy or pity should be given unless there is a notorious and i mean notorious, regret of the actions from the one being judged, there are times that you can't show sympathy because of trauma if the person is doing some serious shit without realizing the wrong of it.
Ultimate Magneto has many traumas and "reasons" to do what it do, yet should i feel sympathetic and pitiful because the bastard flooded new york killing millions because of his 2 already adult kids were killed thanks to her policies and the hate he brew? NO!
Reimu clearly is a lower case, since she isn't destroying cities and shit, but everything we were shown is that of the 2 parents, Marisa was clearly the best one, while this Reimu is the worse one, highly willing to murder a kid because of a stupid sugar cube, yet an average discipline to the shithead marisa that ate the medicine of her sister, the stalk of the baby Marisa and other crap, is a unforgiveable act because "THEY HAD ALREADY LOST LITTLE ONES!" even though, oh by chance she killed that lost little one, with the others, then she makes Marisa feel like shit for no reason and mistreat her.
She's beyond the sympathy, understanding her or anything a good empathic person would do, since there is a limit about when you try to be empathic, or you'll just be naive and end up forgiving misdeeds that aren't being regreted and/or punished. Which in Reimu's case are way too many.
Right Marisa: Slurp slurp slurping!! Sl-urp sl-urp!! Mother: Sorry Little ones... I'll give you something to eat. There's no food so eat mom's mister filling by yourselves. take it easy... Left Marisa: Never! If I eat mommie's mister filling then mommie can't take it easy! Marisa, stop it already!
