a crossover between #redo-of-healer #roll-over-and-die and #rising-of-the-shield-hero . taking place around the beginning of season 1 for all shows. Asks are open!
A: This story takes place at the beginning of his 'redo,' after he reset the world. He hasn't had the chance to commit any of the atrocities he does in the actual series and, due to the interventions of his group, ultimately will not. he's still pretty fucked up in the head
Q: Why is Raphtalia so small?
A: In this universe, beasthumans age the way regular humans age. she is 10 and she is going to stay 10 until her birthday... then she will be 11.
Q: Will there be canonical ships?
A: Flum and Milkit will be a canonical pairing, like always. Flare (ROH) and Jean (ROD) will also be a villainous depraved duo
Q: How old is everyone?
Raphtalia is 10, Flum is (aged up) to 19, Milkit is (aged up) to 18, Keyaru is physically 14 but before his reset was 18, and Naofumi is 20. I changed Flum and Milkit's ages because I worked on this story before I checked and genuinely thought they were both adults. besides, it works better that way.
Q: How do the kingdoms exist? Are the Spear/Bow/Sword hero still a thing? What about Jean and Flum's party? And Blade, Bullet, and Flare?
A: All exist at the same time. The lore of the stories has been woven together into a big meaty knot. It will make sense, dude trust me. As for the villains -- Flare, Malty, and Jean will all be recurring monsters.
the minimal amount of grace keyaru recieves is tied directly to the fact he hasn't actually done anything ... and no one in the party knows what he'd be capable of in an alternate timeline. that being said he almost definitely says weird shit from time to time
This is why I love Flum as a protagonist. She's not some bitter edgelord who wants revenge on the world. She genuinely wants to be left alone, find soft beds to leap into with her newly adoptive daughter.
Oh wait, Sara isn't her daughter you say? She is, she just doesn't know it yet.
i would like a hug…. JUST KIDDING! i would like TWO hugs. (suddenly becomes cold and standoffish) i don’t need anything or anyone and i don’t want to talk about it.
sometimes a family is a shonen-protag lesbian with a big sword, a rei-ayanami looking maid who was doomed before the narrative even began, an orphan raccoon girl with anxiety, a big ol grumpy shield man, and a small twink who has become an absolute monster in every timeline except for this one
apathy adoring is a self-indulgent rewrite of redo of healer that is probably at least a little influenced by the way too many manhwa/manga with dubious relationships I've read. Which is to say for some reason I looked at Redo of Healer and thought "I can make a messed-up Josei story out of this" and ended up doing it. Still has dark themes though so like. Careful before you click.
Anyway. Notes on the guys as of Ch 11 and general apathy adoring notes/spoilerish recap if anyone cares to read that I suppose. Random summary stuff and fun facts.
The Boy | Keyaru
Protagonist of Redo of Healer. The premise of that thing is that this guy at 14 years old was abused physically and sexually for 2 years because his semen can raise the level cap of others. It be one of those magic with numbers and a limited slot of skills fantasy worlds. He goes back in time and carries out a long rape revenge seinen fantasy thing. I did not like that. I don't know why the fic got into my brain so much.
Still out for revenge in the fanfic. He ran away from Alban and managed to eat a couple more poisonous plants and fungi relative to canon before he was caught this time, so his immunity to drugs and poison kicked in sooner.
Was still caught, healed Kureha, allows himself to be abused for the revenge plan, that whole deal.
Interested in the maid because of previous timeline memories. Infatuated by the Maid/reader in this current timeline due to the chain of events that occurred that resulted in more interactions. (Came in later, she was assigned to clean him up, and it just went on and on)
A notable differences from the source material includes him playing along and "getting better" at healing publicly so he gets to stay out of the dungeon some days. I was getting tired of writing scenes in the dungeon.
Has introduced himself to the Maid/reader character. So she knows his name. She just refuses to acknowledge it.
The weirdest thing he's done in the story so far: used healing magic to kind of transform his hand into being like the Maid's wounded one and kissed it.
Main aim when writing him: Pitiful enough to make you help but there's something wrong with him that makes you regret it. Or maybe you're just being paranoid.
The Knight | Bako
Appears in the light novel/manga and is killed shortly after. Was used by Keyaru and his group because Bako was the "most sane of the knights" whatever that means. In the novel it was murder after his aid because he was involved in the attack on Keyaru's village and could have spread knowledge of Keyaru's party, in the manga it was because he attacked Keyaru's group in revenge for killing Renard. Renard had taken him in. He's vice captain of Princess Flare (first/main abuser of Keyaru)'s knights.
In the fic he's a coward who is aware of Renard's atrocities but is too attached to his father figure to really do anything about it.
Infatuated with the maid due to projecting. He is very aware of what the kingdom does to the boy in the dungeon but you know. Coward.
Savior Complex.
I hate his hair why are you so spiky.
Has no colored version in the manga. Was that insignificant. Chose blond hair for the "knight in shining armor pretty gold good and righteous" imagery and steel blue eyes and something dull and different from the red eyes of the other guys. Also. Similar to Renard.
Main aim when writing him: physically strong/imposing but kind of pathetic if you're not in a fight-or-flight headspace.
Yukito | Harris | The Rabbit
An oc I made to balance out the cast. What's a josei without 3 guys amirite haha
No but like sincerely. A character to balance out whatever freak stuff is happening with the other two. Also probably delves into the idea of free will and consent somewhat.
Is a rabbit demi-human (basically a rabbit boy). Escaped slave, gave his "true name" to the Maid/Reader after they met by chance, which by source material lore means that he is bound to her mind and heart, body and soul. She is Not Happy about this.
Has chopped his ears and tail off and is blending in as the "human" Harris surprisingly well. Being albino tends to answer the question of why he hides his face for most people.
Main aim when writing him: a decent, sweet person in unfortunate circumstances. Kind of the physical manifestation of the idea of running away, which even if possible the maid thinks of too much of a dream than actual choice.
Bonus
The Maid | The Reader
Low level low magic horrible stats. Instead of being a competent warrior like the other staff in the palace, she is just good at cleaning.
Very tired, very paranoid. Violent intrusive thoughts.
Wary of all the boys. No attraction to any of them lol.
But if pressed. And had to stick to any of them. It would be Yukito.
"Roll Over and Die (Omae Gotoki ga Maou ni Kateru to Omouna)" TV Anime special illustration for today episode 1 release
Air Date: January 8
According to the god Origin's prophecy, the girl Flum was chosen to be one of the members of the party that were foretold to defeat the Demon Lord. Everyone already had achievements to their name, as well as the strength to back them up. However, only Flum did not possess any combat prowess, and all of her stats were 0 due to her rare affinity. While being constantly berated, she continued to put great efforts to be useful to the heroes.
Roll Over And Die really is out here demonstrating that all it takes for me to get into one of those “banished from the hero’s party” edgefests with a nonexistent animation budget is to make it yuri.
