Re:zero but the characters are furries. I watched a playtrough of a game called Beacon Pines and the artstyle was really cute. I felt inspired.

What have I done?

[patrasche-enjoyer]

no 3rd option you HAVE to pick a side

#i like otto more as a character but im on team julius on this #Otto might be obsessed with Subaru but Julius is the actual better friend me thinks #re:zero #Otto Suwen #julius juukulius #Subaru Natsuki

[patrasche-enjoyer]

What's funny about the rezero fanbase is that, like, usually fans of long anime will nickname the arcs based on the most prominent thing (see relevant prozd skit) but rezero arcs canonically have names that no one calls them by. Just arc 1 arc 2 arc 3 etc

#arc 3: subaru cringe compilation #re:zero

noo don’t get stuck in a time loop and have hundreds of meaningful encounters with me that I’ll never remember you’re so sexy haha

[patrasche-enjoyer]

HE GOT BICURIOUS IN THE TIMELOOP !!!

[patrasche-enjoyer]

in the time loop the only way out is to leave her there but you don't ever leave her there, never in the roughly one thousand years you have been in the same day. it is probably like "50 first dates" but you haven't stooped so low as to watch "50 first dates" yet. (but who is to say what another thousand years of the same media will bring to you, maybe you will develop a new taste).

you spent about 200 of these years sulking in a bathtub or on the couch or staring at the seaside. 300 of them have been spent slowly mapping the geographical distance you can actually get before the time loop restarts. you have a list of favorite places: one library in Western Massachusetts called "The Bookmill", which has weird hours and has never raised an eyebrow to you arriving out-of-breath and panting, asking to see a specific book on a specific shelf. There is one beach without a name in North Carolina; it is an accident of geography and ownership title disputes - and it is pristine, untouched, warm and cozy. you've taken her on a lot of picnics there. Acadia National Park. One specific birdhouse in the mountains.

you were stuck in the time loop with the money you entered it with: not enough to rent a private jet. you've robbed a bank a few times, you don't like the way it ends. maybe next century you'll get the hang of it. you don't like the look on her face when you say hang on i have to stop at the bank.

you just have to leave her, and you can go back to being a person again. you took 5 years just catching a flight and sitting in the Grand Canyon. if there's one thing you regret more than anything, it's that you hadn't gotten your passport renewed before this fucking time loop. maybe you should spend some time learning forgery - but also, like, you look like an english teacher. nobody is going to be cool about you asking to see their paper printing machines.

the world is very big. that is one of the things groundhog day gets wrong. there are no consequences, so you have literally all the time (or none of the time?) in the world. in groundhog day, he does a lot of very cool things, but in reality - your muscle memory never gets better. you can't necessarily learn how to play piano or sculpt ice, because your hands never remember the practice. but hey - maybe you'll try violin next. drums. synth.

you can open any door and walk into any conversation. money isn't really an object. you can try every meal off every menu, forever. take her on helicopter tours and into every museum and on every event that is happening right-now at-this-moment. parades and funerals and calligraphy classes.

but you are somewhat trapped by the limitations of your body. if you were reading a book, you still need to get up and go back to the library and find that book again when the day resets. (thank god for the internet). it still takes like 2 hours to board a plane, and then takeoff and landing and traffic. you've gotten off to run around on the freeway. one of the little thankful things: since your brain isn't actually developing (it's a muscle too), the days thankfully don't feel shorter to you. that would be agony.

all you have to do to leave the timeloop is let that man get away with it. that's all. in every version of yourself - forever - you have stopped him.

the problem is that this experience has convinced you of the existence of the human soul. after all, how else are you forming memories? your very cells reset. information has to be transferred somehow. and if timeloops are real, you can convince yourself other magic exists. so you have two choices here: this hell, or the next. there might be a millennia where you have been worn down to the point you can accept fate's decision. this is just not one of them. ironically - she is the one thing you have left.

and besides! if you can't always find something new in your partner, aren't you failing them? there is something new about her, every day with the same morning. every brutal day with the same orange sunset.

after all, you wanted to live with her in heaven, in eternity, and, well - isn't this second-best.

I can appreciate a man who's normal but I LOVE a man who's comparatively normal. A man who seems like a mess in a vacuum but as soon as you compare them to their friend circle you're like "oh. Oh wow. You're their idea of sensible."

[patrasche-enjoyer]

Sorry for the double reblog, but I just realized some of the irony in this IF, while yes, he is majorly fucked up in terms of nourishment/personal hygiene/etc., he DOES do a lot better on a lot of his permanent conditions he has in the regular story, his gate still works (so he doesnt get bloated with mana and he has no weird dragon blood, so all in all his actually doing weirdly ok in comparison (of course he looks worse tho)

Some of Subaru’s adventures in the Runaway IF:

Subaru starts off at his normal physical form, but rapidly starts to deteriorate due to not being able to feed himself properly.

Subaru starves to death once. It sucks. (Emilia’s the one to find him. It breaks her. Why did he do this? Why did he — was it her fault? Why did he leave her? Why didn’t he come back?)

Out of desperation, Subaru occasionally ends up eating things he shouldn’t. He dies from this once — dehydration, from vomiting and diarrhea. It really sucks. (His body — still curled up in a fetal position from the pain — is found by a river. The man who brought down the White Whale and the Archbishop of Sloth wasn’t even allowed to die with dignity, and somehow THAT’s what ends up sticking with those who find his corpse.)

Felt’s Camp is actually the first to almost catch him, except that Subaru thinks they’re bandits at first due to none of them being particularly charismatic and manages to wriggle out of it by the skin of his teeth. Felt is so mad. Reinhard is very upset because Subaru ran from his Camp??? He just wants to talk, Subaru, PLEASE —

Subaru and Roy Alphard get into a fistfight. Neither of them win, but news of their legendary battle spreads far and wide. In reality they looked like two feral animals trying to claw each other’s eyes out but the details get a little exaggerated. It’s on SIGHT for both of them after this.

Subaru gets eaten by mabeasts. It really, really sucks. (His body — or what’s left of it — is found by the Felt Camp. Reinhard is destroyed. Why hadn’t he been there?) (It’s obvious to everyone there that it wasn’t a peaceful death. There had been a struggle.)

Another one of the times he gets food poisoning — in a failed loop — he is successfully found and captured by the White Fang — as well as Julius, who happens to be traveling with them at the time. Julius is one of the people — the main person, even — nursing him back to health and the experience is so humiliating that he feels hot with shame every time he thinks of the man even AFTER he ends up resetting to before he even got food poisoning in the first place. It’s the main reason he decides to just steal food from then on.

(Julius never even catches on to the possibility of Subaru being embarrassed. He’s too angry at him for leaving/relieved that he’s been found/horribly concerned for his health to even consider it. It helps that food poisoning is actually a really common danger for mercenary groups, so it’s not like he or any of the White Fang are unused to it. The members of the White Fang understand it and are electing not to say anything. Ricardo is chuckling: “I think the memory of this’ll be punishment enough.”) (Helping Julius not catch onto it is the fact that Subaru, delirious with pain, keeps reaching out to tug on his sleeve and beg him to stay. Because, once the agony strips him of his inhibitions, Subaru really just doesn’t want to be alone.) (Subaru dies anyway due to unexpected complications and Julius is left heartbroken, and actually crying whenever he doesn’t think anyone is watching as they bring his body the rest of the way home.)

Subaru sometimes doesn’t have to steal at all! Sometimes townspeople just give him food, for some reason. He always ends up accepting it out of desperation but he also always scampers quickly because he doesn’t feel like he deserves it. (An urban legend has spread about the black-haired homeless man who grants you good luck in exchange for snacks.)

Subaru saves a town from Regulus at one point. He shows up and picks a fight and manages to lure him away and then not die somehow. Regulus will remember this. So will all of the townspeople who saw him do that, as well as all the people who hear the story as it spreads far and wide.

Subaru eats poisoned berries and dies. It really, really, really sucks. (People find his body and don’t know what to make of the dichotomy between the Witch Cult Fighter and Dope Who Died To Poisoned Berries.) (They wonder if it might have been a suicide. That doesn’t sit well with his old friends and allies, who consider it an insult to his honor and are sometimes willing to draw swords over it.) (But sometimes they wonder, too.)

Subaru does actually kill himself whenever things don’t go the way he wants them to. Without Arc 4’s character development he’s become very much reliant on RBD as a tool — and often for other’s use, more than his own. (It’s often very hard to deny that it was a suicide. Efforts are made, but…) (Ferris is so angry with him, every time. How dare he treat his life like this. Doesn’t he realize what he’s doing to the people who love him?) (Emilia cries. She always cries.)

Subaru tries to eat a leather shoe, remembering something from Fullmetal Alchemist. It doesn’t taste great. He gets spotted from a distance and “Black-Haired Man With Mean Eyes Eats His Shoe” is the next Natsuki Report that finds its way onto Anastasia’s desk. Anastasia starts considering the merits of laying out food-based traps like one would use to catch a wild animal. (Julius initially protests because he thinks it’s too demeaning.)

In another failed loop, Subaru unknowingly attempts to steal food from Crusch’s caravans at one point and gets caught by Wilhelm. Wilhelm is so absolutely enraged by 1) Subaru initially disappearing for like eight months straight, 2) the depths to which he has apparently sunk during his time on the road, to be stealing from his Lady like this and 3) his horrifically emaciated physical condition that has apparently still not been enough to motivate him to just give up his pride and go back to his loved ones who have been looking for him so desperately that he actually does end up spanking him like a little kid. This is followed by Wilhelm and Ferris going to great lengths to get him into a bath and filled up with a hot meal and slathered with medicine for his many infections and wrapped in fresh clothes, all the while lecturing him about what a stupid, stupid boy he’s been. Unfortunately Subaru still doesn’t get the fucking message, because when he ends up resetting to the moments before he made that initial decision to steal from Crusch he decides to go the opposite direction, actually, because apparently Wilhelm and Ferris are really, really angry with him.

(Wilhelm is devastated when Subaru dies this loop. Just when he found the boy he owes so much to, the boy he loves as his own grandson, just when he thought he could finally bring him home — and he was still somehow too late, wasn’t he?)

Subaru encounters an embassy from the Emilia Camp in one town. He stays out of sight for her sake, but goes to see her speech. He ends up managing to wrangle the entire crowd into cheering her on before slipping away again, because it’s too painful to see her without being able to say hello. Especially with Ram right there. (He wants to throw himself at Ram’s feet and beg for forgiveness, or punishment, or — something. That’s selfish. He can’t possibly do that until he’s gotten some lead on Rem to give her as compensation.)

Subaru tries to steal a thing of vegetables from a caravan of merchants and gets caught. The merchants take one look at him and go “man just TAKE it.”

The White Fang starts setting out food-based traps. Subaru actually falls for one of them, but manages to escape when they pounce in no small part due to the adrenaline of the fright brought upon by (apparently) being ambushed by bandits. He doesn’t fall for them after that. They’re so pissed that he somehow got away.

Subaru gets mistaken for a dead body and taken by an undertaking group in the back of their cart for a proper burial. He wakes up. They scream. He screams back. Anastasia gets a report on this later.

Subaru sneaks into a carriage that is — unbeknownst to him — currently being operated by the White Fang in an attempt to steal some food. They ambush him and tie him up before they realize that this intruder is actually the guy they’ve been tracking, at which point they all take him out for an actual meal and also drinks, hoping the mix of a food coma and copious amounts of alcohol will knock him out enough to avoid an escape attempt when they drag him back. And also he looks like he could seriously use a hot meal, and there’s this Look in his eye that suggests that he could also use the opportunity to Not Be Sober for a while.

(This is when the Great Rabbit Incident happens. One moment he’s laughing and hanging out and making a bit of a drunken fool of himself (/pos, they’re all having a great time) and the next he just — goes still for a moment, there’s this mental snap, and he suddenly starts screaming and thrashing around like an animal trying to chew it’s own leg off to escape an invisible trap. They have to pin him down to stop him from clawing out his own eyes, and then to stop him from smashing his face into the floor.)

Subaru stows away in a merchant caravan in order to get into Priestella, falls asleep, and somehow doesn’t get caught. His impression of that city’s security is rather lackluster. (Those poor guards are going to be in for a long weekend once everyone realizes that someone on the Most Wanted List snuck past them all so easily.)

I do like characters who do not exhibit any hint of sexuality in any way because they’re too busy being tormented by the narrative. like “yea I might be gay or whatever but the labyrinth is growing so I can’t worry about that shit rn”
