Ground dragons!

[suffarustuffaru]

WHAT IF i told you that there was a PERFECTLY GOOD AND UNDERRATED rezero yuri ship AND OKAY YES A LOT OF THE YURI IS UNDERRATED BUT HEAR ME OUT THIS ONE IS SUPER UNDERRATED because like one of them is a little cringe fail and prideful but she's like a mostly shameless flirt but a tsundere at the same time (she tried to flirt with some random ass guy earlier in main route and it didnt 100% work and then her main companion made fun of her :<<) and the other one is like a gentle giant who's laidback and chill but she's also really snarky and mischievous and her main childhood companion also has an ego so she would find comfort in the first one having an ego and would know how to handle her and like what if i told you they also have spent at LEAST a year together in main route and what if they could ALSO count as doomed yuri in greed if and gluttony if AND WHAT IF i told you their designs match too bc the first one is like spry and agile and sharp and the other is square and stocky and their color schemes matched both their companions and contrasted each other perfectly CHECK UNDER THE CUT FOR WHO IT IS

Don't crop that picture. Next to her is Frufoo who also has done absolutely nothing wrong. The dragon gals stay winning.

Patrasche is pretty much the only completely unproblematic re:zero character. Never did one bad thing the entire story. "What about that time she bit off half of Ram's head and ate her brain matter before biting off Subaru's head too?" Ok 1. Not her fault 2. God forbid women do anything

I find it interesting how the cast is treating Rem for what she did to Subaru, but what about about Otto and Garfiel? How are they being treated by the cast for what they did?

Otto is the one person in the Emilia Camp who legitimately gets a pass, because everyone ultimately agrees — with the combined factors of Subaru openly declaring that the White Whale chasing them both down was definitely after him, specifically, of them being aware that Otto was getting driven insane due to being exposed to the literal voice of the White Whale due to his Divine Protection, and of them realizing that Otto almost certainly sent Frufoo back to go and help Subaru once he came to his senses — that Otto literally did, at worst, what any reasonable person would do in that situation. (And honestly, he probably did a whole lot better than that…) Wilhelm has some very messy feelings about this still, due to Otto’s actions immediately preceding him having to watch Subaru crawl away crying for help from the scourge of the past 14 years of his life (aka. the single most traumatizing thing that this man, specifically, could have been forced to witness), but even he is largely aware that he’s not being fair. —Otto himself probably isn’t anywhere near this forgiving, noteworthy.

Garfiel is a lot more uncomfortable, but he has one advantage that Rem does not: he remembers being an actively antagonistic force in Subaru’s life. And everyone else remembers this, too. This might seem like it should make it worse for him, but it actually means that everyone has largely brought up and settled these underlying issues properly already, and so rehashing them is — uncomfortable, but not nearly as nasty a surprise as watching Rem actively torture Subaru onscreen for several hours. But of course, it differs from person to person. Some members of the audience brush it off as a settled matter, others are a little less forgiving, still others are resolute in their opinion that this is One More Person who can never be allowed near Subaru again, and that’s kinda just how it goes.

(It is also important to note that the quality of their relationships with Subaru AFTER their respective incidents are very influential here. Garfiel and Otto both became honest and genuine friends looking out for Subaru’s well-being in honest and genuine ways. Rem, meanwhile, pulled shit like repeatedly sneaking into his room to watch him sleep, enabling almost every one of his bad behaviors, and monologuing about how she wanted to take his gibbering, shock-stricken form and kidnap him far away from everyone else so that she could have him all to herself forever. This is a very important factor in how these characters are received.)

If you took a random 10 minute section of both Joshua and Otto's lives and viewed it as an outside observer, what is the probability that Otto would appear as the more pathetic man?

My gut was saying Otto easily, but thinking about it? Equally difficult to tell.

Joshua's internal monologue is extremely depressing. He spends every second berating himself and critiquing the people around him all because of his lack of self worth. Since he's alone a lot of the time, those thoughts can range from just being the ultimate hater to being the most miserable man around. In that regard, he's pretty pathetic, in how he's so openly hostile to Subaru and implicitly hostile to Reinhard over their treatment of his brother. He's got codependency issues up to his neck with how he tries to raise Julius to live a life Joshua couldn't.

This posts gonna be a long one, bear with. Arc 8 spoilers (up to c24) under the cut.

He's so fixated on Julius being perfect for his role it shatters him that they're not in sync. The whole debate about his role of head of house sticks with me heavily. "It was exactly that, handed over. Never stolen." The clinginess Joshua has with Julius is immense. The only thing that really offsets it is, well, he gets to know a wide range of people through him. Tivey and Hetaro are his closest friends, while he's fond of people like Mimi, Ricardo, Cecilus, and Schult. He's able to spend time playing with the triplets in the garden without being as controlling over what Julius does by the time canon rolls around.

Even for people he's not fond of, like Anastasia, Joshua's the one who pushes Julius to go after her when he fucks up and upsets her. He's the one who takes up a sword for the first time in 10 years to protect her because it's what Julius would want, even though he's terrified and weak and thinks she's an awful influence on him. Joshua grows up a lot between his obsession as a child to his obsession now, both in how he handles Julius with others and in how he is by himself. So while he's very much a pathetic person, there's a number of times he's actually... respectable, given his awful circumstances.

It makes me wonder how messed up his dynamic with Julius would be if they never met Reinhard when he was 9.

Otto, on the other hand... He's a lot more put together on the surface. You disrespect Julius to Joshua, he'll be foaming at the mouth, but you disrespect Subaru to Otto? It's not as obvious stepping over that landmine. In terms of situations, though, Otto's a lot more pathetic to me when you compare the two and their dynamics with the others.

Comparatively, Otto's had a far more nuanced upbringing than Joshua. His parents are so sweet, and his family's generally supportive of him, despite everything. He's struggled with his DP and later with Diadora and Russell's shit, where Joshua's just been plagued with ill health and a very warped family dynamic for years. They're somewhat direct opposites in how they're brought up in that regard.

By the time he meets Subaru and eventually joins the Emilia camp, he's been through some awful stuff. Frufoo's a massive pillar of support but in terms of healthy communication with people? He's been drinking at the bar regularly, which is a pretty telling sign of how things are for him. His attachment comes on quick, as people like Pluto have spoken about in their ottoposting (which I would highly recommend!!) from writing a suicide note over deciding to help Subaru all the way to making himself almost indispensible to the camp, despite telling everybody his plans of leaving and running his own store.

Joshua's fixation on Julius comes out of a mix of resentment, survival mechanisms and genuine loneliness, I feel. He's so afraid of being left behind that he tries to make himself integral to Julius, and I think part of that is also reflected in Otto's behaviour to the camp. How he asks all of them if they're worried about him over and over because he wants to feel wanted. Subaru gives him that, leaves him plenty of room to just, latch on and it feeds massively into his own issues of self worth and loneliness.

Don't get me started on how poorly he reacts in arc 8 when that closeness is indirectly (contrary to Otto's own belief) challenged by Julius. How quick he is to lash out and paint him as an outsider, that this does not involve him when it very clearly affects Julius the same as everyone else there. Julius and Emilia's light, able to believe that people are fundamentally good, where Otto nips at Subaru's heels like a lingering shadow.

Both Otto and Joshua are extremely pathetic people. They'll lash out at people, barking at whatever hand comes near them, and then project that rage unto themselves before the thought of talking their problems out dawns on them. I think between them, 10 minutes with Joshua would be a lot more tame for me, if solely down to me being much more fond of Julius praise than Subaru praise. Though sitting through 10 minutes of self hatred vs 10 minutes of whatever's going on in Otto's head is enough to drive anybody insane.

If nothing else, at least Joshua didn't make me read this line with my own two eyes:

Otto for the character thingy

OF COURSE I was gonna get this ask (I'm glad)

Sexuality Headcanon: He's bi for sure. Listen. To put it shortly, I really doubt the guy who barely distinguishes a human from a cat (which is the species of his first crush) cares about his partner's gender.

A ship I have with said character: Otto/Subaru!!!

A BROTP I have with said character: Otto + Subaru!!! But Otto + Marone is such a beautiful friendship too and I can't get enough of them. Otto + Garfiel, Otto + Frufoo, Otto + the other Suwens... The list goes on. He has a lot of awesome dynamics in canon, and even potential for some others that haven't been explored much canonically, and that's one of my fave aspects of him.

A NOTP I have with said character: Keep romantic Otto/Garfiel away from me please, why would you do that. To a lesser extent, I just don't like Otto/Roswaal or Otto/Russell.

A random headcanon: While he's not very keen on physical gestures of affection (he prefers other types), he does enjoy having his hair caressed a lot if he likes the person who does it.

General Opinion over said character: Best boy of all time. Lovable, entertaining, charming, what else could you ask for? He's just some guy, yet he really brings a special, much-needed kind of flavor to the cast and the story. I love Otto.

All still shots and explanation (Read more):

A surprise birthday cake made by the Felt camp. Maybe Felt was wearing a dress just for Reinhard. TonChinKan are dead. Ezzo never met them.

As Tappei said, due to Wilhelm’s erasure, Reinhard's relationship with his family improved. Pride IF was Reinhard’s happiest timeline.

Sadly, just like that candle, his happy times were short-lived.

I deliberately made a similar close-up of Reinhard's eyes at the start of the animation, to contrast the different feelings.

The erased Crusch gifted Felix those ribbons. Otto lost Frufoo to Russell. Russel killing Frufoo is confirmed here.

Rem is dead. There is no one left to dress and cut Ram’s hair anymore. Roswaal ‘J’ who sacrificed her life for Grimm and Carol, killed them as Roswaal ‘L’. (EX6)

It's not real that Roswaal killed Grimm and Carol in Pride IF, it's my own fun headcanon. The rest are all true though. Maybe not the Ram looking in shambles part but that's a reasonable guess from me.

Reinhard’s family BBQ! Don't forget to add mayo! Just for Reinhard’s sake, Subaru must have cooked all his family and friends in the most yummy way possible! Thanks for the food!

Anyway even after decades, Carol still had the locket Theresia gave her (EX2). Heinkel did his best to evacuate Louanna, but Elsa couldn't let that happen. (Inspired by my friend Zeivira's fanfic 'Theatrics of A Witch')

All the BBQ’s faces are blurry because Reinhard couldn’t bear to look at their final expression. He nearly did with Heinkel and Louanna, that was why their faces were the most visible among them. Yet, he looked when it came to Felt.

The BBQ is overcooked!

This was to celebrate Otto's birthday which was on the same day as the final episode from this season, but I only finished today.

Frufoo

Wer kennt die noch? Das wahrscheinlich am meisten übersehene Kinder-Überraschungs-Produkt Deutschlands – die Frufoos sind unser heutiges Thema.

Der Joghurt-Hersteller Onken, seinerzeit Produzent der leckersten Joghurts und Quarks, jetzt nur noch Teil der Emmi-Gruppe, hatte 1994 die Idee, einen Fruchtquark-Becher in Form eines UFOs auf den Markt zu bringen. Im äußeren Ring befand sich der…

[patrasche-enjoyer]

Otto has a mini van he calls Frufoo, he is the only friend in the Emilia camp friend group that has a car, it never doesn't smell like weed

In a real life AU, Otto would definitely be the guy that the Emilia camp buys their weed from
