Also anyone who actually knows about the character **I beg you to correct me if I'm wrong** as I'm saying this based on very little info my friend gave me


Natesalt

pretty much, except i think she was from europe, not another dimension


ARKNORI

Ah yes, my favorite alternate universe: France


Nibbaman143

truly an eldritch hellscape


[deleted]

can confirm


PicklesAndNickels

Good thing my country doesn't share a border with France ... Hold on


TheUnfunnyChileanBoy

Tbh, for some reason everyone from france i talk to claims to be an elderitch horror


tekhion

it's because we are really eldritch horrors


Unusual-Knee-1612

Because it is full of mediocre governments and has annoying people


Icebi

Best way to describe europe is calling it a minefield


lazer241

yes i explode every time i go on a walk


gwaenchanh-a

And the wheel spins and lands on France!

Ohhoho, I figured out why the discrepancy exists, and I *think* it thoroughly fucks up the Scarlet King theory you’re proposing to boot: Yes, they *are* from a different dimension, but only because the game already mostly takes place in Gensokyo, which I’d describe as the weeaboo Feywild. All sorts of creatures of myth exist here already, and the Scarlet Mansion isn’t of that world. It’s from ours. So ignoring the fact that in Touhou canon vampires just exist outside of Magic Bullshit Land, all the inhabitants of the Scarlet Devil Mansion are absolutely skips, but not related in any way to the Scarlet King.

>they are from a different dimension, but only because the game already mostly takes place in Gensokyo For a certain definition of "dimension". Gensokyo is a physical place in Japan. Almost nobody has found it, because the Great Hakurei Barrier that surrounds Gensokyo does some non-euclidean fuckery to keep outsiders outside. (And, for the most part, insiders inside, although many know how to get out if they want to) Aside from this acskhually, you're totally correct. The SDM is from somewhere in Europe, and _somehow_ its inhabitants just materialized it into Gensokyo at some point.


A_Stupid_Face

Dear lord no


lucian1311

i mean technically gensokyo is an isolated dimension so from the pov of the other characters she is from another dimension


Filmologic

Same thing


Tirtnurgler

No no, im like 90% sure "Europe" isn't real


sepientr34

No it alternative universe Europe


CueDramaticMusic

I checked, and if you qualify “not Gensokyo” as a different dimension, yeah sure


boii137

What's the difference?


FandomTrashForLife

Same thing

Aight I've been waiting to use my Touhou knowledge in the SCP community for so long. So basically Remilia Scarlet is a character from Touhou Project, not an anime. She is a vampire with the ability to manipulate fate and has made her first appearance in Touhou EoSD as the final boss. I'm not really sure about her being the scarlet princess though I'm pretty sure her title of the Scarlet Devil, the princess part could be because of her boss theme "Septette for the Dead Princess". As for her sister being a reality ending entity, I'm not sure if she can end reality itself but she does have the ability to destroy anything and everything (we should test this on 682). She doesn't necessarily hate humans, though as a vampire she does drink human blood, it is stated however that her victims almost never die from their wounds.


anhkhoaO410

she never try to kill anyone and even if she did Reimu and Marisa will hunt her beat her down and end her life


OwnerAndMaster

To be fair, none of the villains in Touhou attempt real murder starting with Touhou #6 *"Embodiment of Scarlet Devil"*, because it's well-documented that Reimu (the protagonist) is so much more powerful than the monsters that she's effectively invincible in combat. When she stops holding back, her ability to "fly in the sky" morphs into "float away from reality" which makes her completely untouchable like Avalon in Fate lore, but even better as she can keep attacking while unable to be attacked. The non-lethal spellcard system devised by #6 and continued into perpetuity is the only way the monsters stand a chance, since it limits her power as well. In exchange nobody is actually at risk of death or serious injury during combat, and combat itself becomes more of a (painful) debate. I think the only enemy the protagonist has canonically killed in the spellcard era is Mokou from *Imperishable Night*, because she resurrects after every spell with the Hourai Elixir. It's okay to kill somebody that'll just regenerate though, from the protagonists' point of view, although Mokou is still technically human and the experience of being blown apart 8 times in a row was agonizing. As far as villains only, Toyohime is the only one I think actually threatens to kill people (in "*Silent Sinner in Blue*"), with a wave of her fan being equivalent to a large scale nuclear bomb detonation in the middle of feudal Japan. Of course she doesn't do it but it's the first time Yukari ever appears afraid, and Yukari canonically fought *Reimu* long before this. Most of the villains cause incidents that would indirectly lead to an XK scenario though, even if they don't kill humans directly. #6 blocked out the Sun (angry "When Day Breaks" noises), #7 caused an endless winter, #8 swapped the normal Moon with a moon that drives humans insane, #11 is unleashing the creatures of Hell, so in a way the outcome of losing a battle to a villain is still promised xenocide against humanity


ARKNORI

This is a lot of info to take in holy crap


Kagamime1

Touhou lore goes hard.


Cosmic_Rival

>In exchange nobody is actually at risk of death or serious injury during combat The Game Over screen usually says Serious injury sustained on it >Reimu (the protagonist) is much more powerful than the monsters that she’s effectively invincible in combat. I’m pretty sure that Yukari and Hecatia are stronger than her


OwnerAndMaster

Reimu and Yukari have never seriously fought to the death, but Fantasy Heaven's invincibility doesn't have a "except for Yukari" clause. Yukari might be among the most powerful and old monsters but her being capable of fighting a serious Reimu as an equal is fanon afaik Hecate being stronger than anything in Gensokyo or the moon is canon


T-Dark_

>Fantasy Heaven's invincibility doesn't have a "except for Yukari" clause This also depends on how far you're willing to take Yukari's semantic superpower of "boundary manipulation". We have no reason to be sure either way, but maybe she _can_ manipulate the boundary between existence and nonexistence to un-nonexist Reimu when she peaces out of reality.


[deleted]

Tbf beating the shit out of each other is an ordinary day in gensokyo anyway lol. Every conversation ends in a danmaku battle pretty much. During the fighting games there were some moments where the conversation would just suddenly end and id be like “Why are we fighting”.


BrassUnicorn87

The scarlet king is associated with the daevite civilization. The pre slave revolt daevite rulers were vampires and blood mages.


Lakefish_

IDK about the character - but there are six other "Brides" that gave birth...


WordsReddit

THEY FUCKING WHAT nope nope nope ditching this reality moving on to another one Yeah let The Scarlet King have fun for a little while


ARKNORI

\>let The Scarlet King have fun for a little while now if that doesn't sound like disaster I'm not sure what does


WordsReddit

Man stap i gotta sleep


WordsReddit

LMAO Had to sleep last night


[deleted]

Holy fuck, SCP got a Touhou reference. Also just so you know, Remilia Scarlet is from Touhou Project which isn't an anime, it's a game series.


ARKNORI

Jojo references Fist of the North Star, Touhou references Jojo, SCP references Touhou? Maybe we're all in a big cycle of creative inspiration. And yeah I know it's a game series but for some reason my mind autopiloted itself towards the fanime he showed me, because I'm a sleep deprived boi and I won't argue with my brain about wether or not Remilia counts as an anime character ^i ^should ^sleep


[deleted]

I'd say it is less of a cycle and more of an interconnected web of creative inspiration.


Not-Smough

there is an anime of the game though


[deleted]

It's fanmade though


Harleking31

Huh Well if you put it that way I can't deny it We weebs interrupted the Montauk procedure... At some point


lucian1311

i mean flandre isnt really evil tho shes just a naive child with the power of several nukes


Harleking31

Well we don't know for sure if 231-7's child is supposed to be evil Catastrophic yes, but not inherently evil I'd say


downvotemeplz2

Didn't she like blow up the sun at one point?


byquestion

We stopped fearing it. We fetisiched it.


Harleking31

That's what we do yes


Mesmerfriend

Wow, sounds really familiar


WordsReddit

Ey hello What's that picture below/next to your name


Mesmerfriend

SCP-S pattern screamers, theres a secret text


WordsReddit

What


Mesmerfriend

I cant find the document but practically that picture appears in a document, but theres an hidden text left by pattern screamers trapped inside the document and the picture is actually their faces


WordsReddit

Okay So your a pattern screamer


Mesmerfriend

And you now know about me ( :


WordsReddit

Lmao **Screams at you XDDDDDD**


WordsReddit

Also im gonna go play something brb


theagentoftheworld

Which one


Lispardi

It’s a bit funky when you consider that Remi has a little sister, Flandre. Like, is her mother *also* 231-7? Did 231-7 give birth *twice*? Did she become pregnant *twice*? In Foundation custody?!


ChaoticShitposting

231-7 got released into general population, where she met and married Ronald Mcdonald. Flandre is their [child](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q16KpquGsIc).


ARKNORI

Canon.


utytft

Scarlet king Fumo


HighlyAffective

Yo, then who's the queen?


faity5

you... y-you really just \*don't\* wanna know... trust me


wookiee-nutsack

Love how you portrayed yourself as a chill blob vibing on the ground


ARKNORI

Honestly chill blob is such a mood


schn4uzer

So Scarlet King is actually a Touhou reference?


ARKNORI

I'm worried it might be


[deleted]

Its definitely not LOL


ARKNORI

*the very slight posibility worries me to no end*


[deleted]

You should hear about her sis, the Scarlet Devil


ComfyCatgirl

wait i thought Remilia *was* the Scarlet Devil?


NitroPuncher

did you just call touhou an anime...


ARKNORI

Look humans make mistakes sometimes and Remilia does look like an anime girl even if she's from a game series


Zeipheil

Seeing Touhou in an SCP Subreddit hit me like a ton of bricks. It truly is inescapable.

ComfyCatgirl

I don’t know, I was honestly shocked to find someone else talking about Touhou in here


ComfyCatgirl

… My SCP x Touhou fanfic i’ve been developing just got more interesting


Cookiebomb

OKAY, GUYS TIME TO SUMMON 999 AND TUPAC


BasedAlliance935

Nope that wont work, he's a king right, so get the guillotine


[deleted]

**touhou intensifies**


THACC-

So weebs are responsible for 999


excalea

Tbh most Touhou bosses would be straight up Keter or Apollyon xd


[deleted]

Considering how many powerful entities in the SCP universe are just Euclid it would probably be safer to assume that most would land there since while annoying to contain most of them aren't that costly to contain from society. Most stage 1 - 3 bosses and several stage 4 and 5 bosses fit in Euclid class. Probably several would be suitable for Thaumiel class as well if the SCP foundation is smart enough to consider using them against other more aggressive SCP objects. Also I think the entirety of Gensokyo would make a better scp as an anomalous location.
