Maribel Hearn: The Heart of The Hifuu Club
>>48510264She is cute.
>>48510264Close enough. Renko thread everyone!
>>48510336Renko is the brains, Merry is the heart.
>>48510264is Merry as autistic as Renko is?
>>48510358No, but she is still way more autistic than most normal people.
>>48510370makes senseit takes a special kind of person to maybe be yukari
>>48510264So...what's life in the future like?
>>48510424It's pretty bleak from what I've heard
>>48510341I was wandering, what smart things has Renko actually done in the stories, other than the science stuff?
>>48510471In Dateless Bar Old Adam, she is able to come up with a plan to make the people there believe Merry's stories, on the spot, while a bit drunk, and it works.
>>48510264I want to sniff her hair
>>48510456Good thing she can time travel then.
>>48510264Is Merry a dork?
Evropean women are the best.
I prefer japanese women.
SPEEN
>>48514937Is that her mating dance
Heh
>>48510264The age of Renko is over, the time of Merry has come!
>>48515062Merry has everything a man could wantStyle, grace, big boobs, and slightly less autism
>>48515062Does Maribel do anything cool?
>>48510264Hey Merry! Fancy seeing you without your... "associate". The timing is just perfect! I just need an ear for my worries. Mind if I pay you a drink?
>>48515139And don't forget her very distinct smell
>>48515571why do renkofags try and tear down renko's only friend like this?
>>48510336>>48510358>>48510471>Renko this>Renko thatIt's not very nice to talk about other girls when such a cute one's right here, you know!
>>48515954The story of how Anon rejects Renko's advances time and time again, only to spend his days talking about her when she's not here.The romcom of the year 2073!
>>48515954Merry, being as mysterious as she is, is harder to talk about than her friend.
>>48516046What was she thinking?
>>48517245she was trying to waft her pheromones but got embarrassed
>>48518278I told her to watch where she steps
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.
>>48524285Here's my favorite happy Merry.
>>48525703so merry is an ara girl?captcha: vavama
>>48525703Her hat is flying away
When do you think ZUN got the idea for Maribel?
Merry(berry) Christmas!
>>48531239"Haha what if Lafcadio Hearn was a cute anime girl"
>>48523373i hope Merry will never become a monster like Yukari
>>48536902It's impossible, she is too pure.
>>48536902Maribel can't be Yukari. Case in point: Yukari, as an animal, is always drawn as an axolotl but Merry is drawn as a cat.inb4 "Yukari IS a cat -- a cougar!"
Maribel Christmas, everyone!
>>48524285Maribel is too melancholic in the CDs.
>>48543402CUTE
What does Merry do in her free time?
>>48552309Boys.
>>48552581She better enjoy while it lasts because once she becomes Yukari she'll never be able to get a guy again
>>48554515Don't be silly, anon. Merrystocks can only go up from here!
>>48552309>>48552581Not boys, boy, singular. And that boy is Renko.
EVROPEAN CHADS WE FVCKING WON!
>>48555666Absolute Merryberry victory.
>>48543402delicious cavcasian thighs!yamato could never achieve!
>>48555708I want the full course Merry experience Young and old
>>48554515Imagine being desperate enough to get yourself a same sex fox youkai familiar because you know foxes are really lewd but even she won't have sex with you.
>>48555666Doubletrips of trvthnvke!
cute mysterious girl
Some people believe you can't say you love a 2hu unless you defeat them (with varying rules) in their origin game but what's the equivalent for someone like Merry?
>>48566670Know more Jungian psychology than her
>>48566670Maybe listening to all the albums and reading their stories.
>>48552581But she's already at college, what's she doing with little boys?
>>48573644She's looking extra mischievous
>>48574436What do you mean 'extra'? Is Maribel mischievous?
>>48555708Merry > Yukari... did becoming a weeb reduce Yukari's chest size?
>>48580728Her calorie intake is lower these days.
>>48582842Entire child once a month.
>>48582951Therefore lower.
>>48582842>>48582951Replenishing her by putting a kid in her!
>>48582842People her age can't exactly be eating as much as they did when they were younger, must be very sad for old granny Yukari to be long past her physical prime.
happy new year!!!!!
>>48592784Cute!!!
>>48592784oh shit, forgot to add the top part of the hat... now it's all good
It didn't feel like a very Merry Christmas...
>>48592784>>48592895Adorable Merry, Anon!
What's Merry's new year's resolution?
I want to MARRY Merry!Why is Maribel's thread so unpopular compared to Renko's?
>>48597984>I want to MARRY Merry!How do you plan on doing it?>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.
>>48597984popular? 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.
>>48598134Merry 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.
>>48602055Merry 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.
Go ahead... talk to her...
>>48606253talk about self-love
>>48606253I wouldn't want to bother her
>>48606253I will talk to them!
>>48606253Trying to flirt with Merry while Yukari watches!!!
Attempting to Invite Merry to a Hotel!
>>48606253I'm going to make her my wife
>>48606572Having a really hard time buying Yukari's claims that she's not a granny when she's clearly already shrunk to about three-quarters height.
What Merry eye color is the best?
>>48608827I prefer yellow for Merry and purple for Yukari. But the opposite suits my tastes as well.
>>48606253Imagine 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.
Is Merry weak to anal?
>>48608827It might be a niche opinion, but I prefer blue-eyed Merry.
>>48558101Constant teasing and edging and orgasm denial but no actual sex. Not even yuri scissoring. Even abusing her doesn't work and you know you need her for important stuff (doing all your work for you). Damned vixen...
>>48602411I 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
>>48610832For 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.
>>48610832The 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
>>48610832You 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.
>>48614525I wish she would slaughter everyone who makes fake job postings for tax writeoffs
>>48612964I am terrified of what the '/jp/ popularity' treatment of Maribel entails. /jp/'s Renko is scary.
>>48614950Merry Berry seems concerned with where the world is heading so maybe she would. But she isnt a violent girl...
Merry Berry Baby Berry
To what extent can Maribel travel thru time?
Can Merry berry fix my brain so I'm not depression anymore
>>48624578She's a psychology student so she'd probably make it worse
>>48624578It 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.
>>48623595I 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.
Does anyone have that post where an anon tried to calculate what year the Hifuus live in?
>>48634717
>>48635630Thank you, I'm off to find some the Hourai Elixir now.
Something I really like about Maribel is how she is basically an H. P. Lovecraft protagonist. I wish the CDs leaned more into that.
>>48639694ZUN is the Yang to Lovecraft's Yin. Cosmic wonder, if you will.
>>48639694That's fitting, since Lovecraft was influenced by Lafcadio Hearn.

I wanna go on a date with Merry!
>>48643592What would you do with her?
What do you like about Maribel?
>>48648521Her breasts
>>48645048Taking 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?
>>48648521Her body (tall, curvy, white, blonde, blue eyed)
>>48639674We know for a fact that Merry can travel to the past under certain circunstances. All you need to do is somehow get her attention.
What would you want the next CD to be about?
>>48649955I'd like to see a CD that finally addresses time travel. It would be interesting, and would give Merry an opportunity to do something cool.
>>48648521Body
>>48648521Her body - her breasts, to be specific.
>>48648521her buxom figure
>>48649112>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 thoseThat's such a Merry thing to do. Every single detail of it paints an extremely detailed picture of her.
>>48655632
>>48655632Who's this girl? I don't think I've seen her in these threads before.
>>48659378I don't know, but she looks very stylish.
>>48659378I think she's one of the Hourai Girls.
>>48659440Looks more like a PC98 girl to me.
>>48659440Wait, is she the Cleaning Maid?
