#yeah im pretty sure someone like rem is eventually gonna go ‘subarus an idiot but he seems like a Well Intentioned Idiot while otto is like

[suffarustuffaru]

HAH holy shit thatd be so fun though.

i mean of course arc 8 ottos gonna be disoriented and dead inside given all the relationships hes built and progress hes made in the past year has been reset and deleted. and also it definitely Stings to have to pretend he doesnt know Any of his friends. but hes Immediately gonna shift into “protect subaru” mode again because now hes back in time!! this is an emergency!! and this subaru may not physically be a baby anymore but hes like so pre-character development that he has no idea wtf hes doing and either shit just keeps happening to him or he keeps causing shit as per usual!!

naturally otto has to stick by subarus side at all costs, right….? and i feel like hes gonna at Least be a bit glad. maybe a tiny bit giddy. because now he can prevent subaru from going through kore Pain by removing it in the first place!! and otto gets to claim subaru first by befriending him so early—and because of that otto is basically in the position to mold subaru into anything via helping and “helping” him 👍 ottos gonna try to control everything, i think. especially with the back to back dangers of arcs 1-4 and given ottos future knowledge… and this is otto we’re talking about so thats a given too.

and subarus like yeah this guy just latched onto me and he keeps helping me with stuff and i like him so we’re besties now :) hes bossy and constantly needs to be around me though lmao what a loser (affectionate) im not TOTALLY hopeless, right, c’mon 🙄 but hes cool ✌️ . this is of course what a guy with the ultimate combo of “my best friend constantly manipulates me and everything around me and i dont know that yet :)” and rose colored glasses sounds like. and also ottos so. friendly. surely theres nothing wrong there 👍👍

meanwhile im pretty sure to at least a couple other people around them, subarus kind of a bumbling fool that simultaneously knows too much while ottos basically follows after subaru everywhere and keeps wanting to direct subaru with Every Little Thing no matter how innocent otto purposefully tries to look.

so basically they are both Extremely Suspicious and clearly Vaguely Mentally Ill so this will not be ending well for them no matter how much otto tries to mansplain manipulate malewife his way out of everything. and also because the moment subaru feels like he needs to kill himself and rbd, otto will find out and basically itll turn into an ottosuba fist fight because otto will try to stop subaru from dying at all costs. like i imagine like. otto yanking subaru back from ledges or knocking him unconscious to stop him kind of thing.

and also rem is going ???? wtf :(( because otto is constantly subtly trying to separate her from subaru and honestly maybe rem should just let that happen because she deserves way better than this (/lh) but i also could also see her going hey otto is kind of a massive bitch actually i need to save subaru from him ☝️☝️☝️ like rem and otto if they knew each other sooner would end up fighting behind subarus back im pretty sure qkdndnd they act like perfect angels in front of him but the moment hes gone they start brawling.

ALSO WAIT A MINUTE rem pov might be super super fun for this yeah if you dont want to start right at arc 1 and you want some more Mystery. because she’d have to piece all this together…

as a fan of both otto and rem the difference in how i like them is that otto obsesses over subaru and im like yeahhhh GO ruin your entire life!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 destroy everything!!! lets go!!!! but when rem does it im screaming and crying and throwing up girl just let the stinky twinks rip each other to shreds. “i wont forgive you until you tell me what you think of me”??? girl just hear subaru out real quick THEN START RUNNING. YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS AT THIS POINT.
