Looping Arc Ideas

◇ Siffrin asks Loop how they occupy themself when they aren't talking

▪︎ he offers to bring them books from Dormont's library

▪︎ eventually Loop accepts and asks for language books (after speaking Vaugardian almost exclusively for 2k+ loops, they've started forgetting other languages)

◇ the Wish Craft keeping the Forgotten Island forgotten is stronger than Siffrin's ability to reanimate following their first death; he will use this (work on logistics maybe?? Or keep it vague and focus on emotion)

◇ Runaway Letter in secret room: Siffrin remembers part of the night his parents tried to run away with them the night the Forgotten Island went on lockdown

◇ "Savior. Mirabelle was beginning to hate that word, for all the energy she poured into trying to live up to it."

◇ "Mirabelle never considered that she may have to choose one life over another -- that she would /want/ to. But when that monarchist pulled Siffrin into the well, her first thought had been to beg the Change God to trade the bastard's future for her friend's."

◇ "She was supposed to be Vaugarde's Savior, but as the King had risen to encase the country in ice, sparks had been flying, setting it aflame."

◇ "Siffrin had told her what feels like years ago that she should keep her heart soft. But the bruises just hurt too much."

People were knocking on Kai’s characterization in DR but I don’t see what’s the problem?

He comes off as one of the wisest of the old gen ninja and is easily able to connect with new kids without the baggage of being a legend by meeting them at their level. By being a little silly.

It helps that we’ve passed the point of retreading old ground for the sake of drama: “i’m a hothead and family is danger so i’m going to do something incredibly risky that’s going to mess things up.” or “why i am unworthy/inferiority complex.” They’re finally letting him progress in the spotlight. No longer trapped in the character progression loop!

And because other characters run through his old beats he gets to bestow his wisdom. Telling them he was in their position and respecting where they come from. This happens with Wyldfyre and Cole (and lowkey Nya) and it works so well because Kai gets to be competent. And if there’s one thing I thank DR for is balancing Kai’s silliness and competence.

Do y’all ever think about how if Lu Guang finally breaks the time loop and saves Cheng Xiaoshi, the initial sense of accomplishment and peace will most likely be overcome with a lifetime of intense paranoia and anxiety because he’s deathly afraid that maybe it’s not actually over, maybe someone or something is still after them, or maybe there’s just a random tragic accident waiting to happen at any point in the future, or maybe he and Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling are destined to live a quiet life from now on, but the problem is that he’s never lived past this moment before and has no idea how to cope with simply living like a normal person and so the fear of the unknown slowly drives him mad? Because I do 😌

ok so i'm still a bit shaky on it but i would loooooove for orion's character arc in the baby prime orion au to be actually about learning that he's not. inherently special. which i know it sounds backwards because this au makes him primus' specialest little guy but hear me out.

in this au when optimus is born he is his siblings' miracle child, their little blessing, the most precious gift they could've gotten.

they love him so much that even when they die and orion grows up and forgets them, he still knows what being treasured and loved beyond measure feels like.

and part of the reason he believes that the system is wrong to treat cogless bots as lesser is that he cannot accept that he is as worthless as the world wants him to believe when someone once loved him like that.

it's a very... self-centered point of view even if it does come from a place of genuine love. he was loved, he was worth something to someone once, so if the world tells him he's worthless then the world must simply be wrong.

and don't get me wrong he still genuinely does believe others also deserve the choice to decide for themselves what they want to be, that they also deserve to be treated with the same respect and dignity that cogged bots do, he still wants to make things better for everyone.

but a good part of it is because he thinks he deserves better. because he knows he was once loved enough for someone to want to give him the moon and stars if he'd asked for them. and he's still chasing that feeling, even though he has long forgotten where he got it from in the first place.

so when he finds out he's the lost little prime, as much of a shock as it is, it is also sort of vindicating. it's a little bit like "oh. so that's why i always felt especial different".

he thinks that him being a prime is the reason for why he always aspired to be more, for why he always believed he deserved better. he thinks being a prime is what makes him worth loving more than he'd been told.

except that... well, he's obviously wrong. him believing he deserved better, that he was worth more than the system wanted him to believe, had very little to do with him being a prime and everything to do with his siblings loving him so very much he could never forget it even as he forgot them.

the reason he always felt there was something utterly wrong with the way they were treated and had the courage to constantly speak up against it when everyone else around him didn't was not because he had some divinely given wisdom or that he was inherently better than them and could feel it.

it was simply that he, unlike the rest of the miners, had someone to instill in him how loved and valuable he truly was. he had someone to let him know he deserved to be treated with kindness and dignity. he had that privilege even if it was taken away from him.

so. the second half of his arc would be him realizing all of this and taking upon himself to be that someone to everyone else. to be to others what his siblings were to him. that gentle voice that says "you deserve to be cared for, you deserve kindness, you deserve better".

Sideblog to keep notes of my fic "victim of your own creation" because I keep ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* losing my notes *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

If anyone is interested in looking through my notes, heres your warning:

Here There Be Spoilers for the fic (and spoilers for ISAT in general including the Two Hats ending) if that's something you want to avoid. I will not be spoiler-tagging. At most, I will tag stuff with "looping arc" and "resolution arc" for notes specific to those arcs, which will include bullet-point drafting ideas that may or may not make it into the final product.

Tags on this post are tags I'm using as an attempt to keep everything here organized so that I can hopefully find it later.

There is a lot of focus put on Subaru's willingness to sacrifice himself for the people he cares about. What a lot less focus is put on is the fact that he isn't actually that big of an outlier when it comes to having a self-sacrificing attitude. Lots of characters in Re:Zero have people that they are willing to sacrifice anything to protect.

In fact, one of the best examples of this are the people closest to Subaru, the Emilia camp:

Beatrice would die for Subaru.

Rem would die for her sister or for Subaru.

Ram would die for her sister, and thought she likely would never admit it, she would put her life at risk for most, if not all, of the rest of the Emilia camp as well.

Garfiel would die for the Emilia camp, because he's the shield, and shields are meant to stop other people from getting hurt.

Otto would die for the Emilia camp, because they're the first people that aren't his family and beast that are actually close to him.

Emilia would die for Subaru, the Emilia camp, and most people that she knows, due to a combination of her kindness and all of the negative feelings she holds toward herself.

Everyone in the Emilia camp simultaneously cares for their friends so much and has too low of an opinion of themselves, making them all very willing to help each other even if it is at great personal cost to themselves.

one of the things i love so much about hickey as a character is how Human he feels. how natural all of his shifting opinions are. he goes into the expedition with firmly held convictions about britain and the world, tries to convince himself through the expedition that those beliefs Aren't true, only to come out of it believing them even more strongly. he has his one-sided attachment to crozier, then has a one-sided fall out with crozier, then he wants his approval again, then he wants him gone again, and he's constantly bouncing around on how he feels about crozier and the navy and various other people he interacts with (cough gibson cough) all the time and it's present throughout every aspect of his character. it never feels like unsure storytelling or a flimsy character thesis or anything like that, though. it feels natural. it feels human. it feels like he's so lost in his own head about what he's here to do and what he wants from people and what he wants people to want from him that he forgets. he forgets who he is supposed to be and how he is supposed to feel. he has moments where genuine beliefs come through, genuine insecurities, genuine desires, because he isn't Good at putting up an act. and he Wants people to see through him. he's in constant turmoil with himself in a way that isn't overt or accentuated. there is no attention drawn to it. we're watching him figure things out as he goes; watching him half-come to conclusions, as he entertains an idea or possibility for some short period of time, before discarding it as he realizes it isn't what he believes. he doesn't feel overly erratic, or ideologically wishy washy, or like a particularly enthusiastic or skilled performer. he just comes off (to Me) as someone terribly unsure of the world and trying to figure it out in a way that makes sense to him
