Some Re:Zero fanfic ideas, crossover mostly

miscellaneous crack ideas 7

Been a while, so here's 100+ crack ideas that I built up over time([A] means that immediately after that, there will be spoliers for the A part of Re:Zero, []means end of spoliers):

Crack 1: Subaru comes from some universe with the Hat in Time turning blue to be vulnerable to damage mechanic, he can only be damaged when he turns blue(which happens after he attacks). Basically, he's immune to damage if he doesn't attack or something makes him blue in some other way(ex. Blue paint, blue clothes).(alternative of this being how the Re:Zero world operates)

Crack 1.5: The Re:Zero world has it so those you can damage/heal/buff is color-coded, you can only do that stuff to someone who's primarily the same color as you(this includes the outfit). This results in anyone that wants to harm others in having plenty of different 1-colored outfits, color-changing magic, or a metia to change color.(Alternative of this applying to magic affinity, so Roswaal can damage everyone and be damaged by anyone except those without an affinity, who can only be damaged by others without affinities). Julius is very overpowered in this.

Crack 1.75: He has the Cuphead parry pink attacks mechanic and random attacks are sometimes pink.(Praying Ram's hair constantly)

Crack 2: Subaru has a speech quirk that shouldn't be possible, such as attaching ★ to his sentences and it's just everyone trying to understand what's happening.

Crack 2.5: Everyone in the Re:Zero world's dialogue occasionally includes button prompts, but they aren't consistent with each other and Subaru is trying to figure out what kind of controller has a bottom screen, every letter of the alphabet(some as keys and buttons), ZR and ZL buttons, Left stick in various directions, Right stick, C stick, shake controller option(Wii remote shake icon), etc.(Starts with the Appa guy saying to press A to eat an Appa. If Subaru asks how to swing a sword, the one being asked says Wii_remote_shake_icon.png)

Crack 2.75: Various things done in the Re:Zero world has visible button prompts in the air, such as choosing a spell opens a visible menu, holding a punch has a hold back button prompt, dodging has button prompts, during Beastification a message to hold the DS vertically with a DS turning icon is visible, an A icon next to a pick up/throw message depending on the context, etc.(Your choice if this is solely for Subaru or for everyone)

Crack 3: Hat Kid crashed in the Re:Zero planet(Reinhard crashed through her window when against Regulus).(Your choice if this is post-Hat in Time or an alternative version of events) Time Pieces raining down could cause problems, especially if someone drops one or they hit people/important objects.

Crack 4: Rayman-style limb Subaru(no one noticed for a while because he's wearing clothes over where the limbs would be)

Crack 5: When Subaru tries to reinvent himself as Natsumi Schwartz, everyone just goes with it.(they actually trained their voice)

Crack 6: Fallout or continuation of Subaru vs. Julius: Items on.(Like that fic)

Crack 7: Every activation of RBD at a new checkpoint, a Subaru from a Fanfic that changes his circumstances pre-summoning spawns in wherever they do in the fanfic(Mostly at the regular start).(in the state he is at the start of the fic, including anyone and anything that may of been brought with him)

Crack 8: Subaru secretly is a human-shaped mech suit piloted by several smaller versions of himself.

Crack 9: Satella pressed the summon button too many times, so there are 100 Subarus(it had a 0.1 millisecond delay)(variations such as minor backstory variations and opposite gender could be interesting)

Crack 9.5: Upon doing the pose, another Subaru doing the pose is summoned right in front of Subaru, which summons another Subaru doing the pose, which summons another Subaru doing the pose etc.(variations could be interesting)
