#gluttony re zero

[its-gettin-weird]

"Both Lye of Gourmet, Roy of Bizarre Eating! Know absolu~tely nothing! From one to the next, thoughtlessly unbridledly eating messily like a bunch of idiots...... For our sake, who are locked up here and don't have the freedom to choose? Don't make us laugh, hopeless siblings ~tsu!"

I literally had no idea what to do for the gluttony trio, but I did know that I wanted them to have matching outfits because (I assume) they’re triplets and I thought it would be cute :) I made their outfits similar to Rui’s in canon outfit, with some elements of the three great demon beasts that each of them respectively represent (their ‘animals’ are also represented in their soul gems!) . Where Lye’s shawl comes together looks like a whale’s tail + the whale on his back, Rui’s bunnies on her socks, and Roy’s scarf being like a snake and his weapon being like snake fangs. Their weapons are a variation on the traditional witch cult dagger that Lye typically uses, but each of them have different kinds of knives: Lye has a corner tang wrist knife (because in his canon outfit his knives are tied to his hands), Roy has a pika knife meant to resemble snake fangs, and Rui has a push dagger that looks the most like the witch cult daggers. I gave them color schemes based on their eyes, so I decided to make Roy more yellow-green because of how his eyes are depicted in the light novel as yellow and green. I also made Rui’s skin tone slightly darker to make her look a bit more like her brothers but still standing out / kind of different.

The authority from a wish doc says that Rui’s wish is ‘to become happy’ and ‘to go outside’, but doesn’t really expand on what the boys’ wishes would be, and Rui’s whole situation with being stuck in the Corridor of Memories so she wouldn’t have a physical soul gem is confusing to navigate in this au, especially since I haven’t read the novels yet. So for now what I’m going to say is that the boys wished to be able to make Rui happy by getting her other people’s memories according to their own philosophies (Lye quality, Roy quantity), and the wish Rui would make would be to go outside and that’s how she would get into the physical world like she does in the novels. I still think that she would have her ‘authority’ though because of her brothers’ wishes and would still be able to possess them.

In “No Rest For The Wicked” — how would Reinhard and Wilhelm respond to Subaru’s “condition”?? I can’t stop thinking about them —

Short reply: Badly lol.

Long reply: Reinhard tells Felt in one of the SS that he considers Subaru one of his dearest friends (Term is vague enough it can be considered “best friend”) this is after they met only twice— during arc 1 and arc 3. Those meetings remain canon on 'No Rest For the Wicked'. 

Now, the way I see it, Rein doesn’t only consider Subaru his close friend just because of his personality but because Subaru gave him another chance to save the Royal Family (by helping him meet Felt). 

So, we have a Reinhard who thinks Subaru (a kind, friendly person that doesn’t care he is a monster AND helped him fulfil his dreams of serving the Lugunican Royal Family again!!!) dying of the same ailment that took the Lugunican Royal Family from him originally!!! This is devastating news from him. He was very close to them, especially Fourier (though less than Ferris ofc.)

Reinhard was one of the people in charge of trying outside help to save the royal Family, and in addition to that: his mom has Sleeping Beauty Syndrome!! So he knows a lot more than the average person about the ailment that Subaru supposedly has. That’s why I imagine Emilia would go after Arc 3’s Royal Meeting to the Astrea manor and try to enlist his help to save Subaru. Felt would be there too, but he would of course, accept her request (Felt wouldn't be against it, ofc)

It would be Reinhard’s second chance to save someone from that disease. 

This was all actually explained in a scene from the fic that I cut because it felt too…. different compared to the rest of the fic. It’s pretty serious for a crack fic (Random fact: whenever I write a fic, I usually draft many scenes and then cut down the ones that in my opinion don’t fit the general mood/style.)

About Wilhelm:

He knows that: Heinkel is using him as a rat lab to save Louanna. Subaru helped Reinhard meet Felt. And now Subaru is helping him kill the whale. In Wilhelm’s eyes, Subaru is putting the Astrea Family together again, despite being close to death himself!!! 

As Subaru is going to the Whale hunt with Heinkel, I imagine the Wilhelm & Subaru interactions would get reduced on this verse. Those two still don't get along, after all. And Subaru needs him to keep Ferris away.

Somehow, I feel that No Rest!Wilhelm would see more Louanna than Theresia in Subaru. A very tragic figure he admires a lot.

And well, as we know, meanwhile Heinkel is:

Thank you for the question OP! i had lots of fun replying to this!!! Feel free to ask more whenever you want!!

[mishy-mashy]

I think it's a funny detail that Joshua is older than Subaru. Also, a big "huh?" over Joshua for gaslighting himself so much into liking Julius that it's literally his whole personality

Imagine hating your brother and deciding to have a complex over him for WHATEVER REASON and it sticks.

He is now a brocon. Lost soul if he were awake while Julius's Name is eaten. Secretly hates Julius for throwing his apple away. But he will take the mere mention of "brother" and NYOOM

Joshua GASLIT HIMSELF into literal oblivion, especially if he wakes up

He's a strange boy, is all

[marchlilacs]

I am absolutely obsessed with witch cult victim theory. I also think it would make a lot of sense to the cast, especially if it was combined with the theory that Subaru got his name and memories eaten.

Although this is more just what I think would make sense with what the rest of the cast knows about Subaru. Not nessasrally what they might actually think about him. Although I'll also consider that.

He would undergo the typical witch cult victim theory shenanigans (torture) while in the witch cults custody, which I think could include having his name eaten. He may have also had some of his memories eaten as part of this, but I prefer to think he lost them due to insanity. Although I don't actually think he really "lost" his memories in this hypothetical situation. I think it would make more sense that they were just...jumbled up in a way. He may remember things like his relationships with the people he cared about, what these people were like, certain aspects of how the world works, some things about his hometown, and the sorts, but none of it really makes sense anymore. He knows he cared about Emilia, but he can't remember her name. He knows he was her knight, but he's not quite sure what a knight actually is anymore. Or how one is supposed to act. Written words don't make any sense. Details about his homeland that may have seemed a bit strange or unique to the average person get twisted and blown out of proportion to become fantastical.

So basically, I think it would make sense if he was from some village that got destroyed by the witch cult (like what happened with Rem and Rams village). This village may have been pretty isolated, with very little or almost no contact with the rest of the world. This might explain why no one has ever heard about anything he mentions as being "from his hometown."

I do also think some characters probably think they knew Subaru before, but then his name got eaten. So It could be that he fled when his village was destroyed, somehow got involved in the royal selection (probably by becoming Emilia's knight), and then got kidnapped by the witch cult as he was hunting them down for revenge. Or, he may have left his hometown for any other reason, became Emilia's knight, and then went back to visit his village and was there when it got attacked. Either way, he ends up being kidnapped by the cult.

Anyways, like I've said, I don't think anyone in Re: Zero would have it that thought out, to the point where they've basically just written an angsty fan fiction in their head about Subaru’s hypothetical Tragic Past. This is just what I think would make the most sense considering what they know about him.

I also like the idea that the witch cult probably put him under some sort of taboo so he's not able to tell anyone about any of this.

What are your favorite plausible in-universe theories that the characters have to explain Subaru’s many eccentricities? I’ll go first:

Subaru was a soldier of some sort who served Lady Emilia as one of her only subjects, but after an encounter with the White Whale he lost his Name and thus nobody remembers anything about him beyond the day he saved Emilia from an assassin. The Whale also stole almost all of his memories, which is why he’s illiterate and also lacks common sense most of the time.

Screenshots of my favourite moments from Re:Zero Arc 5:

Julius: Hey Subaru, it’s been a while. Heard you became a real knight, congrats. Subaru: What a fake-ass response. Tell me how you really feel, Idiot.

It’s been a whole year and Subaru hasn’t gotten off the Julius hate train ONCE.

(Man enters room) (Whole room goes quiet) Subaru: Well who the hell is this guy? He’s totally killing the mood.

Subaru’s trend of terrible first impressions going strong.

I mean, I’ve been on Re: Zero tumblr. I’ve seen the “supple hips” screenshot. But getting to experience “supple hips” for myself was a wonderful experience. 10/10 can’t wait for Arc 5 to get animated so everyone can see Subaru admire Julius’s supple hips.

Also the fact that this happens right after Julius just thanked Subaru for being rude to his boss makes this even funnier.

Ley: I’m the Archbishop of Gluttony, I’m gonna eatchu Otto: Um- Um- Um- Counterpoint - Water Dragons! Water Dragons: [Water Dragons] Ley: What the- (Gets Water Dragon’ed)

“The average Re:Zero Arc contains 6 divorces” is actually just a statistical error. Re: Zero Arc 5, which contains over 50 divorces, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

I don’t know, something about using an evil power meant for killing to save the person you love by crushing the evil heart that’s directly linked to your loved one’s heart feels romantic. Or maybe it’s just me.

And then Emilia says she trusts “both of them” which means she recognizes that it’s Guese’s power that he’s using it to save her just like when Guese tried to save her and Fortuna back then that’s so sweet-

But you know, maybe it’s just me.

This is the funniest moment in the whole arc. Just… the image of Julius sidestepping Subaru’s spit and then immediately going into a bow is so funny to me. Who does that? Julius Juukulius, apparently.

Anyways, off to read Arc 6 now. All I know about it is that Subaru gets amnesia, there’s an IF route during this arc where Subaru becomes a serial killer, the gluttony siblings show up again, there’s a girl named Shuala, and Subaru and Julius get called boyfriends. I’ve got high hopes.

Thoughts on Re:Zero S3 episode 3

Yay another New episode of Re: zero came out, let's see what kind of torture they have in store for us today ^^;

1st off who the F*ck are you calling your wife that's number 1, and 2nd of all, bro you clearly Must be crazy or something because how you gonna get this HEATED at some who didn't bother to give you their name!? like I'm sorry if I'm distracted at the fact that you're holding my Unconscious girlfriend dude, also yeah that reminds, If you Don't take your DAMN HANDS OFF HER RIGHT NOW! Damn Like I seriously can't STAND this guy

NO WAY! GLUTTONY IS HERE!? 😱

Bruh I Hate the way he talks SO MUCH, like he so condescending it's actually irritating, also Wait their fighting against each other, I thought they were part of the same cult, are you telling me there are Different cults dedicated to each Witch?

Let's Go Unseen Hands BITCH!

You didnt even know her NAME!? Bro How you gonna say you love her and that she belongs to you and all that stuff and you Don't even KNOW HER NAME, my boy Subaru worked hard to get that shit in season 1, So don't just go around acting like you're the shit cuz you're not, you're a Bitch, a Straight BITCH! 😠 also hold up did Subaru seriously just say Waifu, I'm a Dub person so what you're seeing here is me watching dub but with subtitles on, I had No idea he ever said that, honestly it's Hilarious 🤣

Ewww you frickin creep, I bet you thought the same thing when you saw her as kid too huh, ya effing Creep

I WAS RIGHT, I WAS EFFING RIGHT! Omg I KNEW her husband was Betelgeuse, YES I called it! Now all the only thing to figure out is Who exactly SHE is ^^

No Emilia! BASTARD! GIVE HER BACK !! Yo somebody kill Subaru so he can return, Nah shit has gone too far off the rails we need to reset the loop NOW!

I don't understand why he keeps seeing her, I mean I get it that it's because he sees himself as weak or something but C'MON! Buddy you Won, you KILLED HER, SHE is no longer alive, if anything you should feeling yourself or at least if you are doubting yourself, it shouldn't be THIS BAD bro

No way! Is this actually his mom!? Omg that would SO Sad if that's the case, AHHHHHH why do you do this to me Re: zero 😫

Yo Ngl, these 2 are actually so cute together like I'm honestly Loving their Relationship/ Dynamic, ahhhh they're just so cute! ^w^ (it's ok they're both 14 yrs old) Also this scene was so effing sad like Wow, just, Wow 😢

YO IS THE ENTIRE WITCHES CULT HERE!?

Wait hold up, so a witches remains are still in this city, but which Witch is it, I know it ain't echidna because she was in the last place we were at in season 2, so could it be Satella, I mean they do seem to Worship her and it would make sense for why they would want emilia, maybe to resurrect her? Oh wait maybe it's the witch of wrath or even Dafney the witch of gluttony, 1 because why else would the 1st archbishop we see this season be Wrath and 2, why would the WHOLE city need to be a trap to kill 1 witch, unless of course, that Witch is extremely powerful, maybe someone like Dafeny who created the 3 most powerful mob beasts, the white whale, the white rabbit, and of course, the Black serpent. 🤔hmmmmm

Oh hell yeah Let's Go! garf is absolutely about to kill it next episode ^^

Re zero novel spoilers ahead

Read with caution

I'm predicting it now rem will recover her memories by reading her own book of the dead

Louis spat out her memories in the hall of memories.

This is where the memories of the soul are processed and how the BoDs are produced.

It would also explain why she's awake when no other victim of gluttony is.

Od laguna has the memories now so to the world she's real and thus woke up<:GRAAAfiel:1096242080038268939>

Also if she does recover her memories I wonder how their dynamic will shift.

Rem in arc 7 has been thoroughly against subaru being a hero while arc3 rem was the one who pushed him into that role.

The knowledge that she's the reason subaru is running himself ragged would fuck her up immensely I want that I NEED that.

I NEED the angst caused by rem regaining her memories directly injected into my veins.

It would also help them connect on a much deeper level and let rem actually help subaru with his hero complex cuz she'd know why he's so hell bent on being *her hero*.

[suffarustuffaru]

I still need to catch up on re zero but I've seen a bit of spoilers of whatever's going on with Otto but I want know what you think Otto's reaction is going to be when rbd gets revealed like

ooh ty for this ask thats a really interesting question that ive totally not thought about a lot :o HAH but yes anyway. the short answer is that i think that ottos reaction would be Not Good. but it would be kinda good bc ottos strategic mind and undying loyalty to subaru Would be helpful to have.... bc yknow, otto would be a pretty reliable ally who'd KNOW about rbd.... but also NOT GOOD for the exact same reasons (strategic mind and undying loyalty). i just think that otto knowing rbd is gonna cause both him giving subaru some comfort (ie otto going “i know now all youve been through… please confide in me about it”) and A Lot Of Conflict (“haha you should simply stop using rbd so much ahahha”).

anyway!! the longer answer is that i think ottos reaction depends a little bit on if hes finding out rbd alongside other people or if hes the ONLY one to figure out rbd at this time. i think the more likely option in canon is that he might figure it out via restoring roswaal's tome hah, but yes i mean either way, otto finds out rbd and his entire fucking world is gonna get flipped on its head just like any one of subarus other loved ones finding out rbd. if ottos finding it out by himself, i dont think that he'd reveal rbd to other people unless he HAS TO, but he'd tell subaru he knows about rbd (if subaru doesnt know at that point) when he feels its necessary. but more on that later.

anyway in terms of ottos general feelings - yeah, like. a lot of them are gonna be all the usual things that you would feel around finding out that your dear friend has had this absolutely horrific time travel ability haaah... like the horror of "oh god how much have you used that", and then "oh god have i hurt and killed you before" and "oh god whats happened in all those failed loops. youve definitely had failed loops right ahah" and "THATS why you know so much shit you shouldnt know and thats why youre so so traumatized by shit i dont know. ohhhhh god" and "have you always had this power?? in the entire time ive known you??? oh FUCK" you know? like otto especially i think is very analytical about things. and hes uh. Anxious. so hes just gonna go aaaaaalll the way down that rabbit hole (................pun intended) of "what the fuck subaru" and "OH NO SUBARU" and like in general connecting all the awful puzzle pieces together of all of subaru's mysterious behaviors suddenly lining up with rbd..... its a HUGE oh shit moment.

and then otto is gonna go RIGHT into gameplan mode. emergency mode. i think hes just gonna put HIS feelings on the backburner (he might have to have a little breakdown first depending on how Bad it goes, but given this is RBD it most definitely hit otto with the force of a dinosaur) and then ottos gonna throw himself right into doing his "duty" as subarus friend. we kinda see this a bit in stuff like gluttony if where otto tells garfiel to get his shit together bc its only them left bc SUBARU KILLED THE REST OF THEIR FRIENDS.... and then otto feels numb seeing garfiel die and then distantly, iirc, thinks of himself as kind of a shit person for not feeling much about garfiel dying in front of him :( but yeah like. ottos good at throwing himself into THINK OF AND EXECUTE A PLAN TO SOLVE THIS EMERGENCY SITUATION NOW, HAVE ANOTHER CRISIS ABOUT IT LATER. esp when its SUBARU on the line here. and its SUBARU whos been lost a million times before otto found out already, which will most definitely be driving him insane 👍 ottos coping mechanisms (….punching walls…. alcohol……. working….. general bits of aggression….) are very like. numbing/lashing out kind of coping mechanisms. Solitary coping mechanisms. and i think he’s gonna prioritize subaru over himself and try to be subarus support and then go to Cope and Seethe in private where subaru cant see him HAHA. or right in subarus face bc otto has a tendency to do that too, depends on how Pushed otto is. either that or, like with garfiels death in gluttony if, otto is numbed by shock at first (….until the full weight of the reveal probably crashes on him at some point).

that and i think ottos gonna be coping anyway by being obsessive about subaru, as one does (ottos really normal) (very normal) (and very mentally well)

it depends on how rbd reveal goes, but the options like i mentioned earlier are probably gonna be

1. otto found out rbd alongside other people -> otto provides emotional and strategic support to subaru + the rest of the camp whenever possible but stays largely in the background until he feels he has to take any Drastic Options

2. otto found out rbd on his own (and subaru doesnt know yet) -> otto stays in the background and intervenes when he feels he Has To -> will likely only tell subaru he knows abt rbd when he thinks its the right time and then try to be subarus pillar of support

yep so!! in general, i think ottos closely gonna observe subaru from now on— i think otto would wanna keep tabs on subaru at All Times and know Basically Everything about what subarus doing now. i know that sounds like. extreme. bc it is HAH but i think itd be in line with what we’ve seen otto be willing to do to save subaru and their other friends (see: wanting louis/spica dead) (see: being perfectly fine with leaving 50 million people to die), and ottos uhhhh slight nonchalance about getting his hands dirty (see: launching bandits off a cliff in self defense) (see: being nonchalant about the murder mystery in the goddess statue side story) (see: ….his various deranged comments like how its fine if 50 million people die if it means saving rem and subaru) (see: his suicide note in arc 4)

otto knows abt rbd and the effect rbd has on subaru and how subaru WILL use rbd bc hes just THAT fucking crazy but also THAT well intentioned to use rbd like that. this is ottos worse nightmare by the time we get to arc 8– hes upset and scared of subaru especially putting himself in danger bc of good intent and his desire to save people. subaru wants to save the world bc its ALL important to him, otto wants to save ONLY who’s most important to him— ie, ONLY ottos inner circle. so ottos gonna be put into a panic. hes gonna double down trying to control subaru so subaru stops sacrificing himself bc haha who cares about all those other people??? i know you do natsuki-san but this is too high of a cost to you, youre TOO IMPORTANT (to me), you cant keep doing this so ill just have to stop you!!

so i think it might just escalate tbh. if otto doesnt know how rbd reveal is activated, hes gonna try real hard to figure that out. if he KNOWS, hes gonna start making up plans as he fucking goes bc i am NOT letting subaru die AGAIN if i can help it. if he finds out about the suicide pill???? time to consider the pros and cons of yanking that shit right out of subarus mouth. some random vollachian civilians just died???? well time to stop subaru from dying bc using rbd is NOT fucking worth it. especially for random ass people. if something bad happens, like garfiel or someone else dying, and subarus about to rbd? oh fuck, guess i gotta consider if i should let subaru die or force him to live against his will. and let garfiel die potentially forever. oh god if i let subaru die will he be dead in this world or will time just completely overwrite what just happened and i wont know?? OH GOD—

bc you know. assuming otto might be the one person knowing rbd in this hypothetical scenario… (or in general just me using otto as an example here—) once otto knowing about rbd gets cemented past a save point subaru has—the next time subaru dies, will otto be left behind in that world with a dead subaru?? or will the new timeline override the old?? its of course the same question asked in like the arc 4 second trial that subaru has but NOW its from a whole new perspective. otto could potentially be left behind in a failed timeline knowing subarus dead in his world but—is subaru DEAD dead?? or did subaru really go into a new timeline??? itd break otto. i dont think he could LIVE without subaru.

anyway yeah i dont think ottos gonna cope well under these circumstances either way hah but for the sake of everyone else otto would hold his shit together until it gets too much. and i think hes gonna rethink about how hes been willing to DIE for subaru in the past—hes gonna think about how many times hes died for subaru before, hes gonna think about how actually he wouldnt mind dying for subaru but he cant tell subaru that or subaru will be upset, and hes gonna think about how even if he dies for subaru now, is it still worth it when subaru will just do anything he can to reset and undo ottos death??? its a WHOLE mindfuck.

and i think if otto was in the situation of “should i tell anyone else about rbd”, he would choose no in almost all cases. its a lose lose if he does—he upsets subaru and he upsets whoever he tells. its a mindfuck to otto already and the dude can At Least compartmentalize. he knows sharing that secret is a hard thing to do, knows that its hard on subaru. at most i think otto might consider beatrice bc shes close to subaru but also like. hundreds of years old so she of course could carry that burden? and dont get me wrong emilia and garfiel are Very strong in their own right but its gonna hit them HARD hard (i think i talked about emilias reaction to rbd in another ask somewhere hah).

and also otto being the freak he is would want to have all the info he can weaponize to help subaru at. any cost. so also in a strategic sense he cant tell people. both bc revealing rbd publicly both upsets subaru and it would risk subarus mental/physical safety… and also bc otto being the one person who knows is like. I ALONE can make sure my plans go smoothly and no ones stopping me. subaru wont even know unless i HAVE to tell him. and ofc otto cant account for if subaru suddenly knows what ottos trying to do (prioritize subaru over literally everyone) but otto would try his hardest.

anyway!! i do think on another level like if otto knows and subaru knows otto knows i think otto WOULD be a good ally. like ottos smart and resourceful and all that— he can be the second strategist backing up subarus own strategy and power (prior knowledge bc rbd). otto can also support subaru the best he can emotionally about rbd— you know, like comfort subaru, tell him hes done his best throughout all these loops, etc etc. and ottos good at prioritizing too. hes cutthroat with it sometimes but he WOULD be good at like going “hey only one person died in this entire battle of hundreds of people, you cant use rbd its not worth it here. im sorry” or something. otto would basically be like echidna in greed if but better yes T^T

but like. i REALLY dont think otto is just gonna take subaru rbding lying down, it goes against everything otto stands for both morally and as subarus friend. but at the same time otto knowing rbd knows he cant exactly control subaru as much as he wants on that front. otto could try anything and subaru might already know everything ottos gonna try already bc subarus rbded before. subarus lived through this before. and theres a special kind of horror in that too of knowing your friend will have these spurts of suddenly knowing Everything youll do, knowing Everything you intended to do and you just know its bc your friend died and went back in time to do all of this now. absolutely horrific this would do a number on ottos psyche (and of course it already did many many numbers on subarus psyche hahaha…)

so in the end like—otto can be as stubborn as he wants and subaru can be as stubborn as he wants but if they decide to fight each other in this hypothetical scenario theyre gonna end up eternally being thorns in each others sides until it kills one or both of them at least once. but subarus gonna win out in the end bc of rbd, itd be up to otto to find a way to at least change subarus mind just a bit and restrict his rbd use some more. thats. uh. the most otto can do :(( be the support………………

yeah and if ottos finding rbd out alongside other people i think that all of the above that i just said would happen but more subtly. like otto would give his support to subaru and his friends (who’re also reeling from this info :,) ) and then in private otto i think would be like PLOTTING. how can i stop subaru from using rbd. how can i save subaru more. what actions do i need to take. how drastic do i need to be. IM the one who can get my hands dirty here in a way that subaru cant. etc etc :,)))) otto, you sneaky guy……

anyway ive considered making a “otto finds out rbd” fic before but never had specific plot beats so :<<<<< yeah like i said in this entire ask i have my Various Guesses on how otto would react to rbd!!

Re: Zero Arc 9 Chapter 11 SPOILERS

I am not just riding this-- HAHAHAHHA

-> Well... shit finally hits the fan! Woohooo!! -> Subaru ain't gonna rest in a jail cell at least~ Everyone thought it would be that -> At least Subaru isn't alone? Gonna try breaking out with Betty

-> Petra about to shine--- Tappei said so. But she do be bein observant

-> And oh my goodness, the memes are so good.

-> Not diggin on the pokeball stuff. I dig for them jjk reference~

-> SO MANY THEORIES RUNNING TO MY HEAD. AND ME READING OTHER PEOPLE'S THEORIES IN TWITTER.

meh being reminded of this theory: https://x.com/Leo_Rezero/status/1820097999131050185 now me combining with this~ https://x.com/ageekjenn/status/1825284865010360386 Me have a feeling that every "enemy of fate" will band to defeat Reinhard.... And since Priscilla will always die (Gluttony if is an exception) Would Al always strive to go to his original goal...? And since Echidna probably doesn't like em observers too, maybe Omega Echidna will actually have something huge once the Lugunica Great Disaster hits

(Noo! My crack theory! Omega Echidna might not get a redemption arc!)

Reason why I'm concerned for my beloved-- I mean, Reinhard, is because I have a feeling that in order to get to the observers, you need to take him down first. Take down the ultimate defense mechanism

This really aint impossible for a looper y'know....

re: the gluttony article Alexandra shared (https://scrupulosity.com/how-to-avoid-gluttony/), there's a non-zero part of me that points out that I'd be able to focus on God more if I did fast more often, because I wouldn't have the whole thing about food and eating going round my brain. Nor would it kill me to fast, it's not like I'm starving to death or anything. Much to consider.

[liquidstar]

Is there a character in re zero who hasn't killed subaru once?

Okay, here's my complete answer guide to the question “Has this character killed subaru?” lets go (NOTE: ONLY UP TO ARC 6, NOT INCLUDING WHAT:IFS!)

Emilia camp:

Emilia: Has not! Starting off strong!

Puck: Froze him to death a couple times

Rem: Killed him once and then tortured him until her sister mercy killed him

Ram: Mercy killed him that one time, and also attempted to murder him in cold blood multiple times. Once in arc 2 and twice in arc 6 (Though one of those was a misunderstanding) 

Beatrice: Has not killed him, but she got dangerously close to when she zapped his mana

Roswaal: Not directly, but pretty much every death in arcs 1-4 was his doing indirectly so… Yeah.

Otto: He threw him off the carriage to be eaten by the white whale, though it didn’t work he still died

Garfiel: Absolutely. A couple times.

Ryuzu: Kind of sort of. Not on purpose exactly.

Frederica: No, she unknowingly sent him to his death by following Roswaal’s directions though.

Petra: Kind of the same as Frederica but even less at fault because she’s 12

Patrasche: She bit his fucking head off but she’s still a good girl

Subaru: Subaru holds the record for the most Subaru deaths caused by a character directly. He’s unwell.

Anastasia camp:

Anastasia: Not really? Eridna tried to kill him while possessing her body

Julius: Yes, but it was a mercy kill

Joshua: No, I don't think he could if he tried

Ricardo: No he’s too cool

Any of the triplets: No but I think they could if they worked together

Crusche camp:

Crusche: I’m sure it came to mind, but no.

Ferris: Aided with the aforementioned mercy kill but didn't directly kill him

Wilhelm: No way, that’s his grandpa

Priscilla camp:

Priscilla: No but I think she threatened to at least once

Al: No they’re bros

Schult: The sickly Victorian orphan? No.

Heinkel: Nope but he should kill himself instead

Felt camp: 

Felt: Hasn’t killed him, but tried to when she thought he was breaking into her house

Reinhard: Indirectly killed him by killing Sirius

Rom: No. But he did eat his chips.

Ton, Chin, and Kan: Mugged him in multiple loops, though Chin is the only one who actually stabbed him, and the others freaked out implying they had no intention of actually killing him.

Witch cult:

Petelgeuse: Technically he never killed Subaru directly, he sure as hell did torture him though.

Regulus: Tried to, but somehow the immortal man was killed by the guy who dies all the time. Irony.

Sirius: Fucking Christ yes

Capella: Technically not directly

Gluttony siblings: Ley killed him once in arc 6, and Roy might have some kills because his body was kind of being possessed by Reid but that’s about as murky as the Anastasia/Eridna situation

Witches of sin: None of them tried to kill him directly but they did have a huge debate about whether or not he should kill himself. Echidna especially loved the idea of him killing himself as much as possible. 

Others: 

Elsa: Did the vampire serial killer kill him? Did she? Yes. Yes she did.

Meili: A few times. In arcs 2, 4, and 6!

Shaula: Yes, with her light sniper and as a giant scorpion. Girlboss!

Ried: Kind of, but again it was Roy’s body, sort of. It’s complicated.

Naoko and Kenichi: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT THEIR DARLING BABY SON!!!!!!!!

Kadomon: No he’s just here to sell apples

it's really funny to me that re zero world and witch cult in particular uses mirrors as phone analogues. do you think regulus is a kind of guy who demands to be warned about a call three days in advance and petelgeuse is a kind of guy who call his coworkers in 3 AM and also absolutely calls on the mirrows of random people to convince them to join the witch cult. maybe gluttony siblings get other people's names though local version of getcontact.

Gotta say, I like that they’re going with season 2 characterizations for the Re: Zero gang. It should be pretty funny and heartwarming considering Subaru and Emilia have more of a romantic slant to their relationship post season 2. Though, I wonder if they’ll have a new running gag where people keep forgetting about Rem as a reference to Rem being attacked by gluttony.

Me too! Love Beacko and Subaru's relationship so it's nice seeing it portrayed in the movie (and now that Otto and Garfiel are gonna be there too we will get a bunch of fun interactions)

Re: Zero and it's favor of Gluttony

PERFECT FOR THE HUNGY BOI

In a terrible accident, you kill someone in public. You frantically ask those around you for help but no one seems to even notice the body. You only then realize you have a horrible power. The people you kill are forgotten.

I Read the Re: Zero IFs

I’ve got thoughts on each of them. Some of these thoughts are more in-depth than others.

Wrath IF: What is this guys deal even? 

The two other “Evil” Subarus (Pride and Gluttony,) while certainly unhinged, had very clear goals (getting Emilia on the Throne, and patching together [Natsuki Subaru], respectively).  But I can’t even tell what this Subaru wants. And to be honest, I don’t even know if Subaru knows want Subaru wants. 

Also, how exactly Subaru became a crime lord? I don’t doubt that Subaru COULD become a crime lord, but I’m curious as to the step-by step process that got him to this point.

Sloth IF: Rem should have been allowed to girlboss more.

Overall though, a very fun story about Subaru, Rem, and their 2 roommates, the wolf ninja who can clone himself, and half of a great spirit. Compared to all the other IFs, this one feels so disconnected from the main story. I don’t think anyone mentions what’s been happening in Lugunica once during this IF.

This also means that the characters form this IF are still around right?  I know Halibel shows up at some point in the main route. But is main route Zarestia still around? Does she still want to kill people? Or is she stuck separated for her light orb? Also, there’s technically another surviving member of the Oni tribe who may be alive? She was alive at some point, maybe not anymore. 

Pride IF: What a drama nerd. This guy can’t do anything with a given situation except escalate it. Ranting at a man about how much you want to be him, and then wishing him a happy birthday, as the city burns around you, was pretty funny. From a certain perspective.

(I make these jokes because what he’s doing is really sad. I’m pretty sure that Greed Subaru is the only one who has Pride Subaru beat for having died the most. He really threw everything away - including his life - for the sake of one girl who was nice to him)

Lust IF: I’m disappointed in myself for reading this, but not as disappointed as I am that this IF exists in the first place.

 

Greed IF: The Tragedy if the AU is greatly increased by the events of canon. Technically this is applicable to all of the IFs, but a few small changes to canon could have easily made this if one of the “Good” ones.

There is a world where Canon went a little differently, and Main Route Subaru was able to save almost everyone, but not everyone at the end of the Arc 4. And he would have accept that no matter how many times he tries, he can’t save everyone. If that had happened, Greed IF could have been hopeful, in a rather depressing way.  “Oh, Subaru may have destroyed himself mentally, but he got to save everyone!” But that’s not how canon went. Main Route Subaru did save everyone, which in turn invalidates everything Greed IF Subaru believes.

Subaru didn’t need to abuse return by death. He didn’t need to stretch his relationships to the limit to keep people safe. He didn’t need to make a deal with a witch. Subaru didn’t have to do any of this. But he has to tell himself that that he did, otherwise the small amount of mental stability he has left will shatter.

Gluttony IF: I expected Subaru to be much more unhinged.

Obviously his actions are incredibly messed up. Everyone around him knows this, and even Subaru knows this, but believes his actions are an entirely necessary evil. But he never acts “crazy”. In all the interactions through the IF, he acts “normal”. If anything, seems less eccentric than Main Route Subaru. In all of the conversations he as, even if the other people act increasing confused or angry, he alway acts calm and rational, even when he’s talking about things like flooding an entire city.

And that honestly makes him even more unsettling.

Which of the seven deadly sins would you say you are most and least tempted by?

in terms of re zero, I'm most tempted by Cappy my beloved while I find Regulus to be the least interesting. and among witches Dona obviously is the best while Midnerva is the most cringe,

but in terms of like.... irl personal struggles, I am most tempted by Sloth for sure. though Gluttony is arguably a close second. least would be..... Greed, I think. I'm a cheap bastard but because I wish to conserve what I have rather than because I want more and more than I need. whenever it is feasible, I am as generous as I can be. after all, material wealth or possessions are meaningless next to the bonds I have. fuck capitalism, all my homies hate capitalism.
