Ong Emilia would be the one to tell Subaru "silence, Subaru. Put on the dress or we're not cuddling tonight"

"...i don't know why you're saying it as if I'm remotely against it😕"

She really seems like the type who'd just love to see him in a dress. I'm not the only person who sees it ik. Like I can tell she'd be the biggest lover of him just dolling up.

You can be a bride if you want to be Subaru

making it a separate post. subaru comes out as trans after a long arduous battle with internalized transmisogyny and her terrible experience trying to come out the first time and as she's telling emilia she's super emotional and doing the whole "...do you still love me...?" spiel because she's scared emilia will reject her now.

emilia is silent for a moment of contemplation. this is her first time ever encountering the concept of trans people. she is staying silent for a long time. subaru is getting nervous. if this goes on for longer she is going to cry.

except emilia's next words are, "if you're the girl now, can i be the boy then?"

subaru stops crying and is simply too flabbergasted. she entirely miscalculated and emilia doesnt know what gay people are either. she tries to explain that people of the same gender can date each other sometimes and besides otto is gay surely you've heard him mention this before...? and she did but she thought otto meant he was happy to be here. (nobody uses gay that way anymore!)

emilia keeps insisting that no she has to be the boy in the relationship now. no emilia you can still be a woman it's fine i like women. except emilia follows up with no i WANT to be the boy. and subaru is still sitting there. tears dried. mouth open. yeah okay you can be the boy and emilia cheers.

Concerning the Witch Cult and the Seal in Elior Forest;

So I watched through the episodes where Pandora and Regulus show up in Elior Forest, and Emilia is frozen, and had some wonders

First, Petelguese, when he takes the Witch Factor, apologizes to "Flugel-sama". But why Flugel? Remember, Flugel wasn't actually considered anyone great, and was only known because he planted a big tree and carved "Flugel was here" on it

Then there's also the Seal that the elves protect. Fortuna says that if the Seal is unlocked, the world will definitely end this time. But, at this time, who actually can destroy the world? Even looking at the Seal's colors and decorations, they befit Satella, who TRIED to destroy the world and was partially successful.

The world will definitely end this time. There was a past attempt, and this was only ever done by Satella.

So I'm assuming the Seal is containing Satella. The key only appears to the one qualified to open it—and that's Emilia. The same identical half-elf that the Witch Cult believes is the perfect vessel for Satella; the vessel can open the door, and has the key, no one else. Methinks if Emilia opened the door, she might be possessed or become a martyr

Yeah, it's said that Satella was sealed beyond the Great Waterfall. BUT BUT BUT, REMEMBER, they consider beyond the Great Waterfall as THE SAME AS A PARALLEL WORLD. Yin magic can easily sever reality and space, and create a pocket dimension or open to a new reality, just by upgrading Shamak.

For example, remember Beatrice's Door Crossing? The Seal could easily just be the doorway to a pocket dimension like Shamak, and it would still be considered beyond the Great Waterfall.

What the Elves are guarding is the tomb of Satella. That's why the Witch Cult's docile faction helps out the Elves; the Witch Cult reveres Satella. The Elves hid Emilia from the Cult on purpose, but Petelguese found her anyway; and Petelguese sacrificed himself in an attempt to keep the Witch of Vainglory (Pandora) and the Archbishop of Greed (Regulus) away from Emilia. The docile faction definitely had a different goal from the radical faction, the latter which always chases Satella's vestiges.

Petelguese definitely knows something more about Flugel than "Yeah, he made a tree" because to the public knowledge of the Re:Zero world, Flugel is only a guy that grew a tree that happened to live long. It's only realized that Flugel is who the Sage Shaula actually refers to, by Subaru's party in the Pleiaides Watchtower; a place even the Sword Saint couldn't reach. As part of the Witch Cult, Petelguese probably knew a lot of the truth of Flugel and Satella, if he revered Flugel, knew the implications of an incompatible Witch Factor, and knew of the Seal.

Petelguese knows what happens if you take in an incompatible Witch Factor: some sort of insanity. Even Regulus warns him about knowing the price to pay, yet Petelguese still took the Witch Factor. Petelguese knows about Flugel, so he probably knows about the Witch of Envy VS Satella; whenever he refers to the Witch of Envy, he mainly says Satella. There might be parts where he says Witch of Envy, but he mainly says only Witch or Satella. Petelguese taking the incompatible Factor his own choice kind of parallels Satella's own incompability, that it brings the question: was Satella also forced to make a similar decision?

The Elves guard the Seal of the Witch of Envy. The Seal is technically beyond the Great Waterfall. Petelguese probably knew the truth, and Emilia's oddly the only person that can access the Seal's key; that's what I think.

Just finished chapter 1 of LN 8, and there was an illustration that peaked my interest that I want to yap about.

I thought it was interesting to have a necklace with a peculiar symbol like that. Then I realized a second later I had seen this symbol before multiple times.

Sooo… this here clearly seems to be Flugel’s symbol with how it’s stamped onto the box Geuse was given that contained the Sloth Witch Factor by this dude who is basically confirmed to be the Sage from 400 years ago.

Now, in Arc 5 Sirius claims that the Wrath she has was given to her by “him” - clearly Petelgeuse - as she rants to Emilia in the square.

With how there’s this clear Flugel-stamped item on Sirius, is it potentially possible that the Witch Factor of Wrath is actually contained inside that necklace (which looks suspiciously like a collar I’ll get back to this in a sec) Sirius is wearing around her neck which could plausibly be that Wrath Petelgeuse gave to her in a literal fashion?

Circling back around to the collar bit, having something with connotations to slavery is very interesting. This could be essentially a jab at Sirius being a slave to her ideology, and whilst I do think this is a valid take, I think it’s not the main takeaway here despite being a component.

I think it’s Sirius being a Slave to her feelings of Wrath itself. Wrath is commonly denoted as something that animates people with life.

Since there’s good odds Sirius = Fortuna, the same Fortuna who is dead… wouldn’t it fit rather thematically that Sirius is only alive due to being animated by her Wrath which is the very thing she is a slave to? The collar that in her character design is prominently showcasing her slavery, and is potentially the source of her power & thus Sin?
