Fanon is generally close enough to canon for my favorite Touhou that it's not too bad to follow both. She has a decent amount of material for her. I generally follow my own ideas and canon. I think >>15537273 hit it quite well.

I tend to follow more with Inaba of the Moon & Inaba of the Earth's interpretation of her relationship with Kaguya and her demeanor in general. I can't help but feel after living for 1000s of years and killing each other constantly that at some point you mellow out but still play pranks on each other. Sometimes deadly (IN) but that's ok since you're immortal.

Although I think the idea that she's obsessed with Sumireko is dumb. ULiL did some weird things and I think people took relatively harmless interactions way too far. Nothing wrong with having friends but people went too deep into it.

I feel like Memories of Phantasm actually hit a pretty decent compromise with Flandre based on the very small canon information we have on her. We know she's actually kind of goofy, we know she wants to play, and we know she's stuck in the basement. It didn't turn her into some super edgy killer but it also didn't make it "Remi's so mean for leaving her down there Flan did nothing wrong". Flan's a tough character to nail down and it did a decent job not going too far into some interpretations of her while still giving her time (which was obvious that a doujin work would do considering her popularity).

Sakuya was "cool" which I do think is generally true but her running around saying "Mistress will be angry you interrupted my cleaning" and "I at least have to make you waste a bomb" in EoSD is cute and funny, which most interpretations lack.
