This part brought a tear to my eyes
Finally finished my first animation meme! Idk how people can pump these out so quickly, this took me forever
Guess who just discovered Re: Zero and binged through most of the entire series and if stories
New favorite trope: kids who die a lot and have ties to suspicious eldritchy entities
AU where reading his own books of the dead caused some of Subaru's hair to turn white because holy crap those have got to be stressful
I'm a dumbass and I started a new big project to take a break from a big project that I started to take a break from another big project
Anyway have a wip/preview
Finally catching up with arc 7, what a ride
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.
There is a version of Emilia/Subaru that makes me go absolutely feral but i'm not sure re:zero will go that way so I decided to write it out just to get it out of my system (and than accept what I'm given by a really excellent story that is just doing something different than what I want)
So in that version of events Emilia=Satella. I heard through fandom osmosis that there are two different entities in Satella (Envy and Satella). Emilia is Satella.
Second: the first time loop we see isn't Subarus first timeloop (I think that is canon because a) we never see Subaru arrive in Lugunica b) his relationship/contract with Satella is already in place) -> that can have two different reasons: a) Subaru is a reincarnation of someone Satella knew or he forgot a bunch of stuff including Satella. My feral HC combines these two
So what if a version of Subaru met Satella 400 years ago (maybe the guy who was summoned 400 years ago and brought a bunch of Japanese culture to Lugunica) but he was kind of fucked up/a bit of a fuckboy as was Satella who was at that point just completely disillusioned by the world and what if they kind of found love in each other but we're to far gone to actually make each other happy/be good for each other (or maybe just Satella was this way) and so they decided to start again both as a version who can become good. Satella sealed herself. The good part of her became Emilia and the "bad" part remained to protect Subaru. and Subaru reverted maybe to his self in the beginning of the summonings (or became reincarnated as well) and so they started again. Because Satella cannot die there's still a version out there who desperately loves Subaru and she saves him. She is the part of Emilia that Emilia has sealed because she cannot believe that she can be good if she is Satella at the same time (And Emilia was born to be happy) both Subaru and Emilia forgot her. And now Subaru hates Satella. He fears her. All that love and nowhere to go. She comes across as a crazy stalker. At the end of re:zero Emilia and Satella become one (that is how Satella is defeated) and they become able to die as well as Subaru becoming mortal as well and it's revealed that Subaru wasn't alone in remembering. There was someone else as well who remembered and struggled and tried to do better.
AND all the what ifs are canon because they are things Subaru choses at one point or the other and than Satella reverts everything back to zero because Subaru failed to become happy and good
THIRD AND FINAL ILLUSTRATION FOR THE @tpfbotd ZINE!! he ate.
