It's a bit upsetting that most art of Merry by herself shows her distressed or in some kind of peril. Zun himself isn't helping considering the cover of TJD. Makes me wish I knew how to draw so the Earth could be repopulated with happy Maribels.

>Why is Maribel's thread so unpopular compared to Renko's?
I think I've said this a few times before, but Merry is more aetheric than Renko, it's harder to "grasp" her. On top of that, Maribel is more mellow, while Renko is more energic, so it makes sense that their threads would reflect this.
>>
>>48597984
popular? don't worry, it's just that renko is "one of the guys", while /jp/sies are terribly shy near a gourgeous woman like maribel hearn.
what of you screw up? she would be disgusted and you would never see her again.
>>
>>48598134
Merry never struck me as being pretentious, honestly.
>>
>>48598027
>I think I've said this a few times before, but Merry is more aetheric than Renko, it's harder to "grasp" her.
Funnily enough, for a lot of other characters this opens the door for fan personalities and wider discussion to take off but it seems to have the opposite effect for Maribel.

Merry very much has a personality, but compared with Renko, she has that feeling of being foreign.
We know Renko has a family, what city she is from, how she feels about that city, her opinion on all sorts of stuff, and her ability can be fully explained in 2 sentences.
Meanwhile, we don't know anything about Maribel's family or where she is from, she withholds her opinion way more than Renko, and her ability can't be fully explained. She is just more mysterious, because she has to mirror Yukari's mysteriousness.

Imagine Yukari doing everything she can to get you to hook up with Merry for the safety of the timeline, but the problem is you're a proud son of Nippon and would never lay with a foreigner.
A common situation.

I misspoke a ton but I was referring more to how the mysteries surrounding Maribel don't garner that much discussion, or at least not anymore. Most Merry threads don't move past "She's probably Yukari or at least related to her" even after the last album and general discourse hasn't evolved to try and fill the gaps in her history or make sense of what mythos we're given unlike how the similarly enigmatic Yukari's actions and the stories she's based on have slowly morphed her over the last 20 years into a lonely train autist. all this to say I'm jealous of how popular Renko is compared to Maribel

For better or worse, her relationship with Yukari is her defining mystery. For some people, it's the only part of note to her; she's not even a character, just something like a snapshot to understand Yukari better. It's much harder to fall into a pattern of thought like that for Renko.
>>
>>48610832
The biggest problem with Maribel's mistery is that we more or less know how it ends, the true mystery is how it happened. If anything, that whole thing just makes Renko more interesting, because we don't know what happens with her.
Another problem is that the details connecting Maribel and Yukari have been few and far between. The only albums with impact on Maribel's lore(that I can think of right now) are GFC, CoSD, MA, and perhaps DLFR.
Other albums, especially the latest, might have cool details about Maribel that most people missed, but it is up to you to find them. Maybe you can make Merry popular at least on /jp/, the community at large will continue to see her as an addon to Yukari
>>
>>48610832
You touched on something I hadn't realized. MerryBerry is overshadowed by the Gap Hag. It would be nice if people could talk more about her instead of Yukari. Also it's odd that Renko is more popular. How could you not prefer the cute lil autistic blonde? I want to creampie her, take her out on dates and talk about esoteric shit with her.

It depends on what you need to cure your depresion. Maribel, or Renko, for that matter, probably can't cure your depresion alone, but the two of them together can.

>>
>>48623595
I don't think she does it outside of her dreams about Gensokyo, though it might have to do more with the way time behaves in Gensokyo.
Either way, she has gotten more and more powerful since CoSD, so maybe she can do it now or will be able to do it at some point in the future.

Taking Merry to the observatory!
Getting a personalized guided tour of the stars but her statements sound almost anecdotal! CUTE!
She even corrects the interns working there about the moon's characteristics! Seeing her so proud to be knowledgeable is CUTE!
She says because of something called "synchronicity" I'd probably be seeing more of her! CUTE!
On the train ride back she suddenly starts listing in chronological order specific dreams I've had over the last couple months! I don't remember telling her any of those but CUTE!? She must have learned about that kind of stuff in school, right?
