Visionary Fairies in Shrine latest chapter discussion
Polaris:
The first one, I think.

Zun might just leave those hint as hint alone and that's that, and that could actually make the character more mysterious.

This is late, but:
Larva being hinted as an deity is something that was literally stated in the game she was revealed in. Not like the weird thing you said about Star.
ZUN not telling us more about that would be counter productive, she's not like Sakuya, who's mysteriousness is a part of her character. Larva has been chosen by ZUN to be a major character in a manga all about the fairies, it would be a odd choice to not use that as an plot point somewhere, implied or not. Plus that stuff she did with Clownpiece's powers feels like ZUN is hinting at it in some indirect way.
I'm just interested in the story that could be told about that. Imagine if this manga ended with Okina paying Larva a visit, giving her some sort of offer that she rejects because it requires her to abandon her friends.
Clarste:
For the record, my assumption whenever a fairy does anything big and notable is that they're acting as an avatar of nature itself. They've always had this power, they're just too dumb to use it effectively.
Lebon14:
So, actually chapter 10 just came out. You know where to read it. (last two chapters were chapter 9)
And huh. Spoiler: I get the feeling that a new incident is brewing up. It'll be in Hell but there are chances that it affects Gensokyo directly..
PK:
Wooh, this Spoiler: definitely smells like an incoming incident. And with Hecatia and Hell itself no less! I hope it doesn't get resolved offscreen.
