arc 4/season 2 of re:zero really did have a bunch of sets of siblings with lots of focus on them. it seemed to be a bit of a recurring theme for the season. family bonds as a whole were really important, especially where the backstory was concerned, but in contrast to that, the sibling relationships seemed to be about moving each other forward. in different ways though...

like, you have frederica and garfiel. they're estranged half-siblings, but frederica still obviously cares so much about her little brother. the reason she left was because she wanted to make a place for him and the rest of the people in the sanctuary in the outside world. garfiel was stuck inside the past, fearing the outside world for what happened to their mother. but when he finally faces his trial again, it's the memory of his sister that gives him the motivation to move forward.

similarly, in emilia's second trial, it's her conversation with archi that enables her to face the present for what it is. even though trial archi seemed to be pushing her towards the world of the trial itself, that's exactly what reinforces her will. with her memory of the real archi, she calls him "big brother" for the first time, and she thanks him for always being worried about her. the sad thing is, unlike all of the other sibling duos, archi has already been dead for a long time. but even then, like we saw in the first trial, he gave his life because he wanted emilia to keep moving forward.

and in otto's backstory too... he spent most of his childhood completely unable to interact with the world around him. the constant noise was too overwhelming, to the point that he couldn't actually hear anything else. he had no way to understand or communicate his feelings. and though his parents did their best to understand him, he was still stuck in this state. it wasn't until oslo decided to teach him how to write that he was finally able to express himself. despite the fact that it was harder for otto than other kids, he finally managed his first real message to his family, "thank you for everything." and with that, he cried for the first time since was born, and was able to move forward again.

even the antagonists this arc are siblings. meili and elsa dont get as much focus into their relationship as the others (not for this arc at least), but one very obvious development is that elsa has someone she cares about. elsa "bowl hunter" granhiert, a serial killer/assassin/vampire who takes great pleasure in watching people die, and tearing out their organs, has a person she cares about. this is a humanizing trait for her, and that's on purpose. loving meili literally makes her "more" human. someone that she's also willing to give up her life for. and later on, in arc 6, we see just how much elsa's death impacted meili and how she hasn't been able to move forward since that day.

this theme is even more noticeable in the negatives too. in rem and ram's case, who have already been set up as a matching set all the way back in arc 2. they're identical twins, they've loved each other literally since they were born. ram awoke her powers as a newborn just to save her crying sister. they share a deep and powerful bond. but... what the hell happens when that goes away? because rem had her name and memories eaten, ram forgets she ever had a sister. her character digresses, her entire world is now centered on roswaal, she's more devoted to him than she was before. without her sister, ram moves backwards.

and of course, there's the sibling duo that this entire season centers around- subaru and beatrice. i've talked before about how subaru's relationship with echidna and roswaal is like a foil for his relationship with his actual parents. subaru has been raised living in the shadow of his father, but his actual dad never once forced him into it- he encourages his son to stand on his own and be his own person. roswaal is the opposite, he corners subaru in an attempt to make him a mini roswaal. subaru's mother was always watched him closely, but never made his choices for him. echidna is the opposite, where she wants to manipulate and control subaru's every action to satiate her own goals and desires.

but echidna is also beatrice's actual mother, which places beatrice in the role of subaru's sister in his fucked up found family echidna had created. but beatrice and subaru were never forced together, they chose each other. beatrice was left alone in a library for 400 years, abandoned by her mother and left to wait for a person who would never truly come (who never truly existed). she has been stuck for so long, unable to break her chains. but the action that finally does free her from this stasis is when subaru asks her to choose him. the only way for them to escape this "family" and move forward was for them to choose each other.

#re:zero #i really do love all the sibling dynamics in rezero. i love how normal these all are too. low bar but still #its always relieving LOL #there are others too but im limiting this to arc 4 for rn #because thats where i feel this theme is the strongest #but there are things to be said about like. julius and joshua or even the gluttony siblings #even the triplets kinda? they dont have too much going on but their divine protection fits in thematically imo #also this isnt even touching the fact that garf and fred have two entire other half siblings #also thersia's backstory with her brothers... :(#also sorry for talking abt oslo and not regin for the suwan brothers lol. regin was little he did not do a whooole lot #theres also sort of stuff i can say abt the ryuzu clones and how theyre more or less sisters but like #theres not a whole lot to that one i think

I've been scrolling through your psychic Dion headcanon and I saw the chronic migraines idea and I just thought of the cutest fluff idea of Dion's polycule trying to take care of him before Morris realizes that his psyonics being on the fritz is connected to his migraines!

The sun is setting behind the tree line when Dion feels a tingling behind his eyes, like fingers pressing on his optic nerves.

Not now. Please, not now.

He's sitting on the roof of the brain-shaped building he's grown so familiar with over the summer, his feet dangling twenty feet over the Quarry's lake.

Gisu's pressed to his left side, her hand linked in his as they watch the sky turn gold. Morris is on his right, his chair resting on the ground for once so he can rest his arm on Dion's shoulder. It's the end of the day and he just wants to spend his precious free time relaxing with his partners.

It's the water. It's always the water. He should have known better than to get so close to so much water, but the weather is so nice, and he's been doing better. He doesn't even get dizzy looking down at the lake.

Gisu and Morris's chatter floats over his head. The words garble together, bleeding into long strings of nonsense. Sunbeams bouncing off the water grow brighter, trailing in long wispy lines as he moves his head. It almost looks pretty.

The hand on his shoulder shakes him. He hunches over, neck muscles tightening like stretched rubber bands. Oh god, it's starting and he can't stop it. The pressure in his head builds slowly, like air filling a balloon.

"Dion? Awoka eenu ehligh?"

It takes a second for him to register his name. "Mmmph. I'm fine," he says automatically. He turns to look at Morris, and catches the sun behind his head, burning directly into his retinas. Red, green, and yellow and lights flash behind his eyelids as he squeezes them shut.

"Dion, abuu habing norah?"

He tries to focus on Gisu's voice. Her tone is full of concern, even if the meaning is hard to puzzle out.

His skull feels too small, like his brain is swelling up with water, threatening to crack the bones and explode like a horror movie prop. He presses his palms to his temples as a dozen little invisible needles pinprick his skull.

Warm hands hold his chin. They press against his jaw, coaxing him to unclench his teeth.

A hand pressed to his back, two more on his shoulders, pulling him to his feet. He wobbles, his legs tingling and half-asleep, but Morris and Gisu steady him.

They walk him back into the Motherlobe. Morris's levitation lifts Dion, supporting his weight as Gisu nudges him forward step by step.

He isn't sure how long it is they walk. Anyone they pass is sure to stare, but he can't tell with his eyes shut tight.

A door opens and closes behind him. A larger set of hands cup his head, fingers warm and rough. They rub delicately over his brows, the signal that it's safe to open his eyes.

The lights are off in the jr agents' dorm room, and it's getting darker as Gisu hurries to draw the blinds. Adam smiles down at Dion, cupping his cheeks.

"Apahhu nruv?"

Dion can't understand the words, but the tone of his boyfriend's soft British drawl brings his shoulders down from around his ears.

The dumpy couch in the dorms smells like Morris's cologne and Sam's woodland animal friends. He didn't used to like it, but now he relaxes into the familiar cushions, laying down and curling into a tiny ball. The dark helps. He can focus on breathing and not holding back vomit.

Gisu nudges him, and he lets her pick him up and deposit his head in her lap, careful not to jostle him. She pets his head as the others chat quietly.

He listens for as long as he can, holding on to the sound of their voices as his head splits down the middle. The pressure is the awful part. Something inside him banging on the inside of his head, trying to get out.

He might make a sound of pain— he can't hear himself if he does— because the talk around him stops. Gisu squeezes his arm as he wraps his hands around his head. The agony throbs with his heartbeat.

Someone else touches him. He tries to open his eyes, but the world is a swimming mess of color. Leaning into their hands, Dion lets them move him however they want.

They lightly touch his forehead, and he can feel cool breath on his face as his cheeks pinken. They're so close, and he doesn't need more blood rushing to his head from being flustered.

Then, miraculously, the pounding in his brain eases. Like air escaping from a leaky tire, the pressure in his head deflates. He gasps, nearly falling forward face-first.

When the touch pulls away, he whines, reaching back for them. His brain is still on fire, but it's more of a campfire and less of an incinerator. With relief so strong he can't keep himself up any longer.

The feeling is like cool water running over a blistering burn. It's enough that he can start to drift off. The only thing he can do is wait for the rest of the migraine to fade on its own, but now he can doze until it passes.

Gisu stares at the boy in her lap. His chest rises and falls steadily as he sleeps. Morris and Adam gape at Lizzie, kneeling in front of the couch, her hands hovering over Dion.

Lizzie's own shock is obvious. She closes her open mouth, one eyebrow quirked as she studies the boy in the center of them all.

"Lizzie… Did you…?"

"I thought a little ice would take the edge off. But then I felt his mind… there was so much energy, it's like a lightning storm in there. The static was gonna discharge eventually," she says, whispering.

"Psychic discharge. Hell, that means…" Adam kneels next to her and presses another kiss to Dion's forehead.

"Okay. Okay. I think we should talk about this when he's awake." Even with her mind racing on a superhighway of questions, Gisu can't help her own lips twitching up as she sees how calm Dion is. There will be a lot to talk about later, but for now it's enough that he's feeling better.

"Sounds good to me. Leave the serious stuff for later. I want to find some whipped cream and a feather." Morris rubs his hands together like a cartoon supervillain. He won't do anything, not when Dion is in pain, but the joke disperses some of their anxiety as Gisu whaps him on the hair.

Dion is psychic. It makes sense. The symptoms of psychic repression are weird, but the headaches and fatigue are classic. He's always been so firm and confident about it, and his family agreed that he never displayed any visible powers. But that's not a guarantee. People miss things, I should have considered the possibility….

Morris settles next to Lizzie on the couch while Adam slips under Dion's legs to sit in the middle. She puts the should haves away. For now, they'll keep each other company, watching anime without sound and texting each other memes until Dion wakes up.

When he does blink awake, Dion feels better than he ever has after an episode. His friends and partners are sleeping, flopped over him, limbs tangled together in such a mess he doesn't want to think about getting up.

Dion finds someone's hand and holds it tight, and he can almost feel his head clear even more. Love is funny like that.

Ummmm loose Heathers inspired AU mostly based on the soundtrack bc I love it sm idc

Emmdoc if they were tragic >:))

No but seriously I have an embarrassing amount of lore cooked up for this AU so under the cut (along with the initial sketch)

Okay so this AU is only loosely based off of Heathers and I don’t really have roles assigned to most of the other canon MacGyver characters as of now so bear with me here-

ALRIGHT SO Murdoc has JD’s role, obviously but his backstory is a bit different. Murdoc had killed his dad recently and he and his mother decided to move to another state and for Murdoc another school before anyone caught on to the missing father.

At this new school, Emmett (with Veronica’s role) known to most students as Emma, is just getting started with being assimilated into the Heathers clique (in this AU the Heathers have no canon character counterparts from MacGyver, just roll with it lol). Emmett is a closeted trans guy. Only his best friend Mac knows about his real gender identity. And Murdoc will eventually too.

For Emmett, the Heathers lifestyle is kinda fun at first but quickly grows hellish for the same reasons as in the musicals canon but also bc it’s toxic femininity set to full 100% power with the Heathers.

All the while, events similar to the musicals canon are transpiring and eventually, during the part when JD dies, in THIS au, Emmett ultimately is able to stop Murdoc from killing himself. The two have a rocky relationship for the last couple of months of high school but eventually fall for each other all over again after reuniting at the same university.

And they live happily ever after so just kidding about the tragic part LOL

SORRY ik this is lame but I’m a little brainrotted abt the soundtrack rn it’s running through my brain on repeat at the moment 😭

#i love you just a little too much #tw heathers #heathers au #tw suicide mention #lemme know if anyone needs this tagged a certain way PLS bc ik Heathers has some troubling themes!!#also they’re both teens in this like JD and Veronica are in the musical #this one brought to you in part by my wishing I could do high school over again :(#also just bc it fits for the storyline #okay I’m done now #AGAIN lemme know if anyone needs this tagged some other way!!!#funny tidbit about Murdoc: his given name was Dennis Jackson. DJ. the opposite of JD. lol

Charm(s) meet Charm Bear (Patreon)

#Doodles #Just Desserts #Villainsona #Spider Bites #Build a Bear #Funnily enough I was looking at Charm's earliest doodles recently and wouldn't you know - Build-a-Bear is mentioned in the tags!#Specifically around the Just Desserts pets system but hm! Interesting! I had forgotten haha but yeah that's an aesthetic I like!#Or at least that I incorporated into the mix of Just Desserts development hehe #It feels fitting that it finally come full-circle in a small way :D #Clearly Charm is very into it haha - not surprising if the BaB aesthetic was for the pets and she loves Taffy!#If I remember right it was the upgrade coupon system and bringing pets to life that was meant to be BaB themed -#The Heart/Wish ceremony about imbuing strong feelings into a fluffy sweet little thing <3 #And of dressing them up! :D Cute! Hehe #I think it was also somewhat based on Pokemon contests? :0 Different from battles and EXP but not completely unrelated #ANYway lol #Charm likes her bear counterpart hehe <3 All the Charms do! There's already a few Charms to choose from add one more #I had to roll out the Charm welcome wagon for the new addition to the Charm ranks - it's very important to build on each other!#Classic Charm just barely taller than the plush bear ahh <3 <3 I mean she's still canonically only like two inches tall #Shrunk bear lol #But just being naturally chibi even if it was shrunk down it'd be almost as big as her! Just little things both of 'em!#I had to throw her into the outfit I picked out as well - it suits her! Exactly what I was hoping for haha #Still fun to think about making actual Charm clothes for the bear hehehe #And finally some Early Powers Charm(s)! :D #I like that Charm calls the EPAU Charm just ''Other me'' lol - that's definitely how I'd refer to a doppleganger of myself so #And of course Spider Bites would love the fluffy little lad as well! She's considerably bigger haha #Kind of a fun comparison of how much bigger Spider Bites is from either of the individual Charms - as told through Bear size comparison pfft #Spider Bites and so cuuuute hhggghhghg <3 <3 Her swirly hair and how she could hold up the bear so securely hehe #Cute cute ♥

#if I want to make it i have to set the timeline back by TWO MONTHS!!!#right now it starts June 20 into 21st and it has to be on the 20/21 because Bobby **** on the 21st #at first I was like okay so I’ll go back one month into may #and the single dropped in the us on the 18th COME ON #I am actually curious at exploring the discourse and controversy though bc it fits with the novels themes #I mean it could be fun!!!! I just have no idea how long I want the timeline to be still #the only thing I know is it needs to extend to October because there’s three major plot points there #that can’t happen in any other month #which would make it at least 6 months #if I want valentines that would make it a ten month timeline #I feel weird because RR and until heaven both had clear ending points #I mean at one point rr was four fucking years but once that was taken away I knew when it needed to end timeline wise #here it’s like well just see how the pacing goes #I almost want to end it at halloween/november bc that would be 1 year after RR ends #but that would also mean george michael faith dropping in time with the emotional climax LOL #wait if i do it like that then beaus essentially spending the whole novel waiting for george michael to release his debut solo album WAITT #that’s so funny in just the right way

Request: DC 8th member au. It's the reader's birthday and the girls surprise the reader with like a surprise party at a fan meet. The fans and members get the reader gifts. The reader is really happy and later goes on a Vlive or Weverse live talking about how happy and thankful she is. Just a whole lot of fluff.

This is such a cute idea :,) I really hope you like it/ hope it’s what you envisioned and thank you so much for the request! <3333

Pairing: uhhh none? Unless you count ALL of Dreamcatcher lmao

Word count: 1,441

Genre/contents: Dreamcatcher’s 8th member! AU, Fluff, there was an attempt to be as wholesome as possible.

Note: Not too familiar with what all goes on at fan meets or how vlive/ weverse live works (on the artists POV) so I went on a limb and pretty much winged it but hey, happy birthday!!! Also tried my best to include all members D: if someone is under mentioned, pls know that I love them and didn’t do it on purpose!!! Also, anon, if it’s your birthday (or was), happy birthday!!! I hope you had a great one :) <3

Divider from pinterest

Couldn’t find a gif with them all facing forward(?) so fck it, I’m using this gif

You didn’t feel any different today, despite it being your birthday. Everything was normal.

Waking up felt normal, save for the messages you woke up to of your friends and family sent wishing you a happy birthday.

But other than those, you felt as if it were an average day. Your own members hadn’t wished you a happy birthday yet, although the post wishing you a happy birthday on the groups official twitter account had been posted an hour before you had actually woken up and seen it.

“Hey, sleepy head.” Siyeon greeted you, smirking as you entered the backstage area where the fan-meet was taking place.

“I’ve been awake for two hours! Why are you still teasing me?” You tried to hide your smile by forcing a pout. Siyeon grinned, indicating she had gotten the reaction she was looking for.

“Alright! Let’s stop teasing her! We have our InSomnia’s waiting for us!“ Jiu put her hands on both yours and Siyeon’s shoulder’s, ushering you two after the other girls.

You fixed your hair last minute, despite the stylist having done that for you.

Greeting the fans that had shown up to see you, you waved at them and posed for your fan-sites as they had taken pictures of you to post later.

A majority of the gathering even had banners with your name and face on them.

But neither of the signs had acknowledged your birthday. Not that you were upset about it, you just thought it would feel nice.

The fan meeting had happened as per usual; You and the girls performed a few songs, interacted with fans, and played some games that entertained the crowd.

“Our next game, we will have Y/N lead.” Jiu announced. The girls and the fans had cheered you on.

Stepping forward, slightly confused as you were only aware of the activities, you’d all be doing at the event- Which had all already passed.

As far as you were concerned, you thought the meeting was ending right about now. Not that you were complaining, though. You felt the love from the fans as they cheered you on.

“What is my objective?” You asked, putting your hands behind your back as you awaited instructions for the next game.

The girls looked at Gahyeon, who happily skipped over to you and handed you a blind fold.

“Put this on first.” She watched as you tied the blind fold over your eyes. Judging by how the blind fold had completely blocked out your vision, you assumed it was a ‘guessing’ game.

“Now what?”

“Patience!” Handong spoke with a chuckle. You felt two hands on your shoulders soon after and another hand had taken yours into theirs.

“Careful- Walk towards me.” Sua spoke, tugging your hand. You felt the person behind you softly push you ahead until They and Sua had stopped.

“Okay,” Dami shuffled in front of you, you heard a soft puff of air being blown out of someone’s mouth- You had assumed it was Dami, as she was the last to speak. “Okay, you can take it off now.”

“Ah! Let me!” Yoohyeon offered from behind you. Your hands had met hers as she had offered right as you were just about to remove the blind fold yourself.

You dropped your hands as she had untied the knot. Upon adjusting your eyes, everyone- Jiu, Sua, Siyeon, Handong, Dami, and Gahyeon had stood in front of the fans, while Yoohyeon had jogged over to join them, holding the blind fold.

You stared in awe and surprise, first noticing the signs InSomnia’s were holding had been flipped around and had read, ‘Happy Y/N day!’.

Then you noticed the tray in front of you with a medium sized cake that had a small caricature of you on top of it and also had the spelling, ‘Happy Y/N day!’. Beside the cake, was a table of gifts- All for you, that had previously been hidden behind a curtain you had thought was something else.

The candles on the cake had been lit and you noticed Dami holding a used match. You grinned widely, wrapping your arms around yourself from all the love you felt in that moment.

“Oh my…” You moved your hands to cover your face, feeling yourself tear up. The girls came up to join you, Sua and Siyeon were at your immediate left and right, their arms around you as you let a few tears of joy escape.

“Everyone! Happy birthday to you,” Jiu urged the crowd to sing with her. Soon the other girls had joined in as well as Sua and Siyeon had hugged you while you had gotten emotional.

“Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Y/N, Happy birthday to you!”

You sniffled, blowing out the candles before melted wax had dripped onto the cake itself. Everyone in the meeting had cheered for you once again and you picked the candles out, setting them to the side.

“Thank you- All of you, so much!” You spoke, gratefully after Handong had passed the mic to you.

“I am so very grateful to all of you,” You wiped the tears from your face as you continued. You turned towards the girls, a fond smile on your face, “And I’m very grateful to my members as well. I’m proud to be a part of such an amazing group.”

Soon after you had said that the girls had rushed to engulf you in a group hug. If you didn’t love them as much as you did, you’d have felt suffocated in their hold.

“I think this is officially my best birthday ever.”

Later on that evening, you had decided to go live to thank fans before heading to bed and ending the day.

You waited a moment for more people to join and almost immediately had a chat full of birthday wishes and various emojis.

You smiled, waving at the camera and covering your mouth to hide a yawn.

“Sorry- Hello everyone! Welcome in!” You read a few comments in the chat, each of them making your heart feel full.

“Thank you so much for the birthday wishes!”

You read another comment, wishing you happy birthday, but the poster had also added a small paragraph of how amazing you are and how much they love you.

“Gosh! I’m going to cry again! Why are you all so sweet?!” You laughed away the tears.

“Why did you cry?”

You read that comment out loud, raising your eyebrows as you had initially forgotten not everyone was aware of your emotional reaction earlier.

“Ah… Today I thought everyone forgotten my birthday- I admit, that was a bit dramatic of me. But during our fan meeting, my members had surprised me with a birthday party,” you paused for a second, smiling at the memory.

“I felt very… Happy… Thankful… Loved. My heart is full, and I really do love you guys. If any of my members are watching, I love you too. I don’t think I could do anything without your love and support.”

You laughed at a comment that read, ‘now you’re going to make me cry!’

“Don’t cry! Let’s be happy today before it ends.” You smiled at the camera.

Hearing a knock on your door, you jumped as you had thought everyone had been fast asleep by now. Before you could open the door, it had been opened by whomever was behind it.

“Ah! It’s just Dami.” You teased, earning a playful nudge.

“And Gahyeon!” Gahyeon had entered after Dami. Both girls sat beside you and soon Jiu, Sua, Siyeon, Handong, and Yoohyeon had entered, all sat around you as you had adjusted your webcam so that everyone had been in view.

“My second family is here, everyone say hi!” You grinned. The girls had simultaneously waved at the camera, saying ‘hello’ while the comments had been spammed with various ways of saying ‘hello’ back.

“Y/N grows up so fast, don’t you think?” Jiu spoke up, a smile on her face. You groaned, “I don’t feel any older.”

“Does anyone ever?” Jiu added. You read more comments, most of whom had agreed with Jiu.

“One more hour until your birthday is over,” Dami smirked, “should we sing to you again?”

You shrugged, “one more won’t hurt- “

“Happy birthday to you!” Gahyeon had led the song, barely letting you finish your sentence.

The other girls had joined in, “Happy birthday to you!”

You giggled at them singing to you, deciding to just go with it, waving your hands from side to side as they continued.

“Happy birthday dear Y/N, Happy birthday to you!”

#lmao does the divider fit??? i just wanted one to match the theme tbh #meh i do want cake now though lol #dreamcatcher #dreamcatcher au #dreamcatcher imagines #dreamcatcher x reader #dreamcatcher fics
