FINALLY watched Re:Zero #anime season 3 episode 14 (64)...
...I need to look (back) at cute and fluffy reinsuba fan arts. I need to heal
My head is filled with reinsuba now... I'm so close to write an essay lmao (trying to hold myself back)
(SPOILERS) Some thoughts:
Theresia's and Wilhelm's love story is sweet and cute...without the bitter aftermath. Loving your partner so much that you neglect your child and grandchild IS NOT sweet or romantic. It's SHITTY, period. It's like seeing a couple with an obsessive partner beyond happily ever after in romance stories. In otome isekai fandom, sometimes we would joke, "Which couple if, the wife died in childbirth, the husband is more likely to blame and neglect the child?". Wilhelm and Heinkel (to a degree) are examples of that. I am biased though, since I love Reinhard and he got caught up in the crossfire.
Could Reinhard show more empathy? Perhaps. But honestly, can you blame him? When he was a kid, his own grandfather blamed him for his grandmother's death. Both his father and grandfather came to hate him and his family fell apart. And yet, now he has the duty to take up his sword and become a hero with all of its burdens. That's all too much for a kid. For most of his life, all he knows is how he's bound by duty and how to act as a hero, not as his own person, as that's also what most people see him to be. Honestly, it's amazing how fairly well-adjusted he grew up to be.
Both Wilhelm and Reinhard were willing to reconcile, even if a bit. But now...that is no longer an option. Their relationship is now broken beyond repair, with Wilhelm not even considering Reinhard as his grandson anymore. Truly a family tragedy.
(How his family and most people treat him is why Reinhard cherish Felt and Subaru, who see him as his own person, so much. But that's another topic for another day.)

It's interesting how contrasting the 2 worlds of Bokuto Uno's works are
Alderamin: too focused on religion, what is science
Nanatsuma: too focused on magical research, what is humanity
Both represent the extreme opposite ends (magical research is similar to scientific)
(SPOILERS FOR BOTH SERIES)
And the protagonists reject the norm of their worlds
Alderamin: Ikta is a man of science (he doesn't want to change the empire but lol)
Nanatsuma: Oliver is too kind (his revenge plot is also partly to create a kinder world)
I wrote this before but deleted it cause it's hard to word but I'm gonna try again
Their love lives are also vastly different
Ikta is infamous as a playboy, likes to hit on women, even widows
Oliver is anything but that, he's loyal to one girl and too pure for this world
Oliver doesn't even want his relationship with Nanao to be reduced to reproduction and inheritance (because in the mage world, man-woman relationship is mostly all about that)
He and Nanao already confirmed each other's feelings, hugged, and even KISSED but they didn't officially go out until much later
Another interesting contrast: Oliver's romantic love life is pretty integral to the story. Not really in Ikta's case (at least as far as the anime went, I still need to read the LN, but it's a war story so I imagine it'd be hard lol)
The romantic and sexual tension between Oliver and the heroine Nanao is clear since the beginning
But again, not so much in Ikta's case. He's flirty to all girls BUT Yatori, the heroine and his childhood friend. The difference in treatment is very striking
It clearly shows that he regards her not as as a love interest, but as someone else. Likewise, Yatori also doesn't see him romantically. There's not even a speck of romance between them, but in their OWN words, they're "two as one". They consider each other to be inseparable
Ikta came back just to save Yatori and did things, even things he hates, just for her. He can also snap her out of her berserk mode
They're one of the best examples of the very rare platonic life partners. Their friendship is so beautiful and changed my life. In this essay I will
Ehem, I'll save that essay for later
In conclusion, Ikta's closest relationship with a girl/heroine and what affects the plot isn't romantic (despite his flirtatious nature), while Oliver has a love interest(s) (and later a partner)
Interesting contrast
Me to Ikta and Yatori: oh my god they're married already (platonically)
Me to Oliver and Nanao: oh my god just get married (romantically)!!
Bokuto Uno is not only good at world building, but also character and relationship writing...I owe them my life fr 😭🙏
I am very sane about them (crying screaming throwing up)
I already rambled about Oliver and Nanao before, I want to do the same with Ikta and Yatori...maybe after I rewatch the anime and read the LN 🙏 (I kinda did here but it's short!! Not the ultimate form!!)
