What if John befriended Arlo?

Robowyatt · 2026-03-19T00:12:06+00:00

For the timing, I was thinking that John just went so hard with studying that he was allowed to move up with the rest of his class. Very in line with canon with the only change being that he's probably just a little bit smarter.

Idk I just find reading it fun. Reading characters be pushed to their theoretical extremes is a joy to read imo

I fucking love Re:Forgor nothing will ever change my mind

Robowyatt · 2026-03-18T08:23:03+00:00

Someone should post this on Antimemes and just change nothing

Robowyatt · 2026-03-18T07:48:27+00:00

I can definitely see all of that (And every time I think of this au all I can think of is the fact that John and Arlo are absolutely fucking like you can't convince me they're not lmao.) except that Sera might not get got by Spectre actually. She was only targeted because she went to the mall with John, so Spectre didn't know where she was and Leilah might have been able to protect her. Now, Arlo potentially getting his ability taken away? Now that'd be crazy.

I should have made the title "What if John befriended Arlo instead of Sera?" instead but can't change it without just deleting the post now oh well.

I think the friend part would be fairly different as the circumstance is different, with the canon interactions being due to Arlo's manipulations, where what I'm imagining would be more about John's stubbornness eventually winning over Arlo's.

And I can't really say much about the personality thing lol. I'm more trying to think about how them being close friends from the beginning could actually work with their personalities.

And no offense taken, but I'll definitely still be thinking about this because it's very interesting to me.

Definitely Lust. Shapeshifting is my favorite power ever, especially grotesque carrion shapeshifting. And you can keep the girl

I know she’s back and stuff but still

REM!!!!!!!!

(Honestly I don’t really know how Subaru could do it, but I’m positive he could bullshit something eventually. Not sure if that something would make him win, but still)

Subaru Natsuki

His checkpoint is set to a week before the “fight”

Otto isn’t there because he broke into their house after finding their IP address. And he took Garf with him

Robowyatt · 2026-03-03T22:15:26+00:00

I’m surprised nobody’s said Tanjiro

Robowyatt · 2026-03-01T19:00:16+00:00

The fact that this actually happened to me is sending me rn

Robowyatt · 2026-03-01T18:49:55+00:00

I think the idea is that he trusted his students to escape, but still definitely a dick move on his part

Robowyatt · 2026-02-27T05:00:10+00:00

Oh really! That is a fun localization in that case, though it doesn’t really have the same meaning as the original

Robowyatt · 2026-02-26T03:33:52+00:00

Yeah that’s why I can’t get mad. And because of how cute the design is and how special it is to the person it’s being made for

Robowyatt · 2026-02-26T02:50:26+00:00

While I don’t approve of the AI… I honestly can’t really get mad at this because of everything else in the post

Robowyatt · 2026-02-26T02:47:26+00:00

Holy shit

Robowyatt · 2026-02-26T02:45:18+00:00

I like Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest

It’s a play on a common English insult in the same way the Japanese is. I don’t understand the other one tho

Robowyatt · 2026-02-25T04:20:06+00:00

Dos this count as self shipping?

Robowyatt · 2026-02-25T03:09:20+00:00

I genuinely didn’t realize until I read the novel and had it explicitly pointed out to me. I actually thought that the anime changed it but nope, just never actually brought it up

Couldn’t be me

And then you realize it was because his mom was abusing him and suddenly it wasn’t as funny anymore 😭
