Arc 2 recap or whatever. Please don’t correct me on my interpretations of the characters; I am pushing a pro-Beatrice anti-every-other-character agenda.

The Eyes of Re:Zero
pls give me more eyes to draw
It's really weird, nobody actually gives a shit about Emilia, they think she's either a joke or a threat, probably better of dead or something, her own sponsor talked shit about her, but the guy who actually stood up for her calling himself her knight is some kind of deep offense? Why do they care about who her knight is? They don't respect her because she is a half-elf and just showed how royal candidate status doesn't really mean much considering how Felt was treated too... Julius is literally butting into another camp's affairs, it's so unbelievably ridiculous. The royal guard didn't participate in the story in any fashion anyway, to me the story is so bad because Tappei is an amateur agenda based author who imposes his interpretation onto the reader rather than let the observable events in the story speak for themselves, because the story is just extremely twisted and immoral and retconny. For example, I would say even the room going immediately so silent and reactions of royal candidates to Subaru is all contrived and senseless because nowhere else in the story does ANYBODY give a shit about status. They all act like high school teenage buddies in arc 5, nobody who is a named character in that place actually disagree with Subaru's views anyway, it is ONLY because of the royal guard and nobles being there that Subaru suffers, and once they did the job of making Subaru face social pressure and humiliate him, they disappear from the story. Class system, medieval sociopolitics, this sorta shit doesn't matter anyway, literally Emilia and Felt both know Subaru's worth, if not Felt at least Emilia, what about the date, what about him lying in bed from wounds helping save the mabeasts, what about him placing a crown of flowers on her head and saying he'll make her ruler, literally same shit he said in the throne room. Like why the FUCK is Julius butting in, interrupting Roswaal too?
Of course Roswaal can sus out it’s not Subaru’s 1st time wearing feminine clothing given how he himself is acutely aware of how one presents themselves given his whole shebang with this makeup.
I do find it funny though there was an implication the Tome ordered him to go see this based on the way he’s talking here.
Also. Emilia casually being the voice of the audience in that she’s pointing out Subaru is a “boy” so why is he calling himself a bride in what is most certainly NOT normal masculine behavior. Subaru digs his grave even deeper as he waxes on about putting good makeup on if he knew he’d be seen in this feminine outfit.
Anyone remember that one undertale au about wings n birds
Yeah that but with rezero
Subaru has crow wings,, I feel this in my heart okay. That or some type of vulture, I see that fitting with his rbd
Emilia maybe dove wings? Mourning dove? Bleeding heart dove? Fuckin workshop it OR a Mockingbird would fit her just as well maybe even more to be honest
Reinhard is a bird of prey I'm not sure which yet, some sort of raptor most definitely, I'm leaning towards either a red kite or a kestrel
Entire astrea bloodline are birds of prey
Rem and ram,, hrmm ram is a robin and rem... I am honestly stumped for rem, I don't want to be boring and say bluejay but I genuinely have no other ideas.
Julius is a swan I can see that connecting with grace and elegance.
Ferris is, hm, another difficult one either a peacock (boring answer imo) or a magpie as I see that more fitting with their personality.
Otto is a parrot!!! This is the correct answer. Source: me
Roswaal is a Wren for they are associated with hidden knowledge, I see that pretty fitting
I love wingfics and just in general birds, yk a reinsuba fic where they preen each others wings would be pretty sickkk you know... I wink to the crowd in anticipation
But anyway I'm just rambling about random shit

The hypocrisy of Tappei, Subaru the Sacrificial Lamb, Subaru as Jesus as the Scapegoat, Christian influences in Re:ZERO
@sufferu here's my magnum opus on why Emilia sucks But he was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The punishment that brought us peace was upon him, And by his wounds we are healed — Isaiah 53:5 Replace he/him with Subaru, and you got arc 3. The beating by Julius was literal scapegoating. "This beating is necessary to sate their egos, it is for your own good, it offers us salvation"
Subaru from René Girardian perspective: the fandom hates arc 3 Subaru and pile on him when on a relative scale he is committing the least number of mistakes that hurt people... ...in the same way there are some people who want to bully some innocent people for being weird or different. They prove as useful scapegoats, and Subaru is the scapegoat for most people's real life troubles.
Subaru in arc 3 is simply being shoved into a locker. Priscilla represents this best, the guy is desperate, weak, and doesn't like himself, and tries to lick her foot, and he gets kicked in the face for his self-abasement. Priscilla very likely represents a portion of the audience who despise Subaru for his weakness and self-hatred, his dog-like behavior, they want to "shove him into a locker" so to speak. This is barbarism. Emilia is not so different. The way she explodes in LN 4 is fucking repulsive and retarded. She's truly, unbelievably, abhorrently sinful and retarded. In the story, it is not Emilia, but Subaru who gets punished so much for being weak and different. The half-elf racism she faces doesn't matter a damn, she just gets spoiled by her status, Subaru, and Puck anyway, nobody's brutalizing her. Emilia's cowardice and running away from real responsibilities take the form of false maturity, hypocrisy, and blatantly manipulative absolutist tendencies befitting a Witch in the same way Subaru's "insecurity" (because Julius, Ferris, and Emilia all were insecure, Emilia especially so) stemming from how Emilia treated him took the form of grandstanding. However it wasn't even grandstanding, the dude just got pissed at the garbage Julius was spouting without knowing a single fucking thing about Subaru and Emilia.
What happened in arc 3 to Subaru was textbook scapegoating. Subaru, being the weak person he was, proved a scapegoat for everyone to project their weakness onto him. Ferris for his physical weakness, Julius for being exactly like Subaru deep down, Emilia because she can use Subaru getting hurt as an excuse to run away from responsibilities ("Everything went to shit because I'm a half-elf, waaah I'm so tragic!") and use him to feel a sense of superiority (which blew up in her face, because without him she's really nothing but a sack of meat under Puck's helicopter parenting).
He is basically the sacrificial lamb. The ones who were sinful were everybody in the royal selection ceremony, it is not Subaru. Roswaal's ruse, him openly insulting Emilia, all of this gets a pass, Marcos pats him on the back, Miklotov laughs it off, Emilia threatening everyone with Puck and saying she just wants fair treatment and her bullshit speech has Bordeux kneeling and blushing (I just find this all repulsive), but somehow Tappei paints Subaru calling himself a knight the most embarrassing thing there? That it somehow dropped the room's temperature below that of Puck's appearance? It's unbelievable repulsive, does Emilia not see the cost Subaru is bearing for his lack of physical power and status? How the fuck am I suppose to sympathize with her being a half-elf when she does not even really suffer for it in the story? Frozen Bond is not an argument, her being rejected by the villagers is not an argument, because Subaru was right fucking there, he was showering her with all his love and affection and loyalty, but she throws it all back in his face after he took a fireball, because... what? It's just stupid, a fake resolve that she has, exactly as Ram described her old self in arc 6. He bore a colossal cost for what Emilia did in the throne room, chiefly her apathy toward everybody else throwing around insults, doing whatever the fuck they want, even insulting her, but Subaru alone is punished absurdly. It is sickening, most sickening of all is how she puts Subaru on a pedestal now. The royal guard are merely props, mere cardboard cutouts, the crowd cheering and laughing at the Witch being burnt at the stake so to speak, when the Witch is just like Lusbel, an innocent boy who was earnest but made some mistakes is all. "Julius was justified because of these cardboard cutouts who never participate in the story again" People reveal a lot in how they take this interpretation at face value, that the dude was actually justified. He wasn't justified due to the simple fact the royal guard and nobles never take part in the story again in any fashion where status matters. Emilia never gives a damn about it, the Emilia camp acts like one big family, EXCEPT for the one novel where she decided to go along with Julius's tirade for some bloody reason. Can you actually imagine Julius or Anastasia standing by if someone started shit talking an Iron Fang member for being demihuman or having low-birth and other nonsense? It's all fucking theatre, Julius, Emilia, everybody were being fucking hypocrites, and the tragedy that occurs is that while Emilia had always been a normal girl in Subaru's eyes, despite all her physical strength, she does not ever see Subaru as a normal guy, she "can't even imagine Subaru dying" after all. It's so stupid, she's put the guy on a pedestal, how she is allowed this privilege, and yet when Subaru depended on her, when he most desperately needed her support, she turned her back on him, and that act left a deep deep scar in his heart. She absolutely should have apologized, and absolutely deserves a fitting punishment. It's just plain cold-hearted and stupid, it makes zero sense, she was being so needlessly hurtful and cruel, and even that Tappei (through Julius) paints as "noble and beautiful" which is fucked up, because most of the fandom takes it at face value, when Ferris, the realist and not the "fool full of idealism" that Julius was, is the one with the correct take that Emilia should have been wiser. Julius was a fucking prick and a plain asshole in arc 3. The idea that his actions "saved Subaru," is one of the most horrifying and repulsive notions this fandom believes. It's truly repulsive.
