I can't believe the truth has been hidden in plain sight all along!

This is not a serious theory, just silliness.

Tewi isn't a moon rabbit anyway.

And then it turns out that the ears were actually part of the moon rabbits uniforms
On a more serious note, it look silly at first but it really seems that the rabbits ears were made to look fake on purpose, I wonder if someone can pull out a serious theory about this

ZUN said in a recent interview that he made Reisen's ears look crumpled because he felt like it. Mystery solved.

A headcanon i heard that i like is that Reisen made them look fake because that way if her disguise gets busted she can just say "Oh, i just like wearing bunny ears, that's all!".
Personal bonus headcanon: It was Kaguya's idea, because she's weird like that.

I took the liberty of removing Reisen's, Ringo's, and Seiran's ears so you can see what they *really* look like.

Well, I actually haven't really paid that much attention to the regard of some characters' ears being possibly fake in general, but I remember to have seen some rather rare instances of Momiji drawn without ears.
Because ZUN has neither drawn an official portrait for her so far nor she's gotten one in any spin-off release, I think the fanbase just goes with her general animal species and therefore mostly draw wolf ears, which also applies to certain official print works (https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/File:MomijiOSP.jpg).
About Reisen's ears: I've seen already quite a number of comical pictures on Tumblr where the buttons on the bottom of her ears are heavily emphasized or they're just being entirely taken off by herself or by Tewi without depictions of any injuries whatsoever, implying that they're just accessories and she uses her human ears. I was initially utterly confused about that when I just joined the Touhou fanbase, but now I've just settled with her rabbit ears being actually real and the buttons being accessories. A rabbit without rabbit ears would look kinda awkward, wouldn't it? Just like above :V
