I was out with my friend Maribel and I took this photo, but this flat Japanese girl kept photobombing in the background...

Rude, Renko just wanted to share a drink with you.

Luckily I managed to snap this photo without the jap chick.

Why is there suddenly a trend of artists drawing extra busty Merry with the text "Huge tits (bakunyuu) Merry"?

They all just realized what we knew all along: Europeans statistically speaking have the biggest tits in the whole world.

Probably because of the "Maribel is Yukari" fantheory
>>
>>50716484
There's also a trend of drawing flat Renkos. In older art you will occasionally find her with average tits, but not nowadays.
>>50716857
But that's been around for ages.

Lafcadio had a brother (well, two, but the older one died early on). Maribel could be from that branch, although it would probably dilute her Greek part of ancestry to nonexistence.

Actually, considering how terrible the state of the world is at Hifuu time, doesn't the fact that Merry was able to travel to Japan from Europe imply she is somebody important?

>The idea I had was that she was simply a very dedicated weeb, so she put money aside for a very long time to visit Japan.
But why psychology then, instead of history, ethnography or religious studies?

I think that might have more to do with her ability. I know if I could observe boundaries I'd also be very interested in how those boundaries are determined. Or maybe she wanted some subject she could pass while still having time to mess around and make friends(which is something I commend her for if that's the case).

In some timeline Maribel is analytical philosopher, instead. I wonder whether Renko would change to some applied form of STEM, to keep her and Merry distinct from each other.

Imagine how Gensokyo would have turned out in that timeline.

If anything, I imagine Renko would just fall off the theoretical deep end and become a math nerd.

There might be no Gensokyo at all. Philosophers, especially analytical, keep their distance to observe and categorize, while the phenomenological layer of actually believing is important from Gensokyo's perspective. Merry would observe and analyze boundaries, even those related to her dreams, but would she ever make the jump towards becoming Merry the Magician? I am not sure.
>Renko would just fall off the theoretical deep end and become a math nerd.
Every Hifuu story would read like the pic related. Since ZUN has math degree, maybe he could pull it off?

This might have to do with how I think of Maribel's power more than anything, but if she got very interested in philosophy, wouldn't that result in her becoming more aware of the interior reality created by her perception, leading to her actualizing it in real life, thus creating a Gensokyo basically out of necessity?
>Every Hifuu story would read like the pic related
That actually reminds me more of theoretical physics stuff. The only reason every album isn't like that is because Renko learned to mask.
>>
>>50719983
I remember running into a tweet about it in Japanese but it was basically just people figuring out which 2hus have huge titties and they thought maribel was probably one and then it just spread from a few initial artists, it just so happens that Renko breast envy is also common to include in pics that focus on her having big tits so it got baked into it.

There are actually quite a few early drawings where both Maribel and Renko had noticeable breasts about the same size. There's also some (pre-shawl)Renko art where she had "normal" breasts.

You'd think there'd be more, given that the "Goddess of Boundaries" and "Boundary-seeing human" would be a natural fit, though I guess Touhou kinda downplays that aspect of Hecate.
Plus, Hecatia is one of the characters who you can easily have pop in to the Outside World, so she could easily be some weird associate of the Hifuu Club who tells odd stories that pique Merry's interest. And reasons why America should nuke the moon again.
