I couldn't think of a good localized pun. One of the words in Japanese for "love" is "koi", like the fish of the same name, just written with different kanji.
The commentary for the Twitter version of the picture translates to something like "Aunn, who wants to protect the dignity of the shrine, and Reimu, who doesn't care as long as the peace is kept."
This translation from Japanese to English is interesting to me as an English learner. it's not accurate as such but it's correct to expless atmosphere. Good job.

Current events context: With the nearing of Grok having access to Twitter’s images for AI generation, many artists are not only jumping ship from Twitter- but adding watermarks as well.

It's quite a talk now, and worse it's some artist are clueless of not realizing that you can turn it off anyway and instead defacing their artworks.
Nowadays it's always that waterwark being slapped in the character fanart thus ruining it when posting on pubblic. If it wasn't for the AI crap, none of this would happened at all.

Pretty much, it's pretty uncreative. It wasn't that, some deface their own artwork using glaze that it becomes bad.
Someone already said that they don't think of this when they started adding those and believe that will "solve" the problem only not to know that AI will not learn without a human gathering data on it's behalf.
According to the commentary, the artist drew this after seeing something similar done with the female characters of Dungeon Meshi, with all of the girls here (all of the commanders + Übermensch) having their hairstyle the same as Miho.
The one who looks the most off to me, surprisingly, is Maho. The other's hairstyles are so different from their norm (minus Katyusha, but she pretty much looks the same), that it just falls under the mental category of alternate hairstyle, but Maho's hairstyle was already pretty similar to Miho's, that the tiny change (the inward curled sidelocks in front of the mid-length sidelocks) completely throws me off.
personally Marie looks the most off to me here. I almost didn't recognize her without her curls. You could tell me that that's a completely different character from the manga about Count High and I'd believe you, since I'm so unfamiliar with that series

It's probably the lack of drill hair and the fact that she's one of the few characters who doesn't normally have bangs. Kay retained her hair intakes and messy-ish hair, so Marie could have had longer parted bangs (exposing her forehead) with sidelocks that had slight drills to them.
Context: The Korean community gave Alice the nickname "Pink Sausage" because in Korea there's a brand of fish cake which is known by the same nickname and looks very similar to Alice's outfit.
To add to the artist's explanation, apparently "Sorry Curry" was created to commemorate that the surname "Yamaguchi" was ranked first in a list of surnames that are the same as prefectural capitals, and that it's "Sorry Curry" as a way to say "I'm sorry only Yamaguchi-san and people from the Yamaguchi prefecture can buy this" (Source).
I have no words, this must be one of the most confusing publicity stunts I've ever heard of.
