SAPPHIC DARK ACADEMIA?!?

SAPPHIC DARK ACADEMIA?!?

Beatrice and Benedick are NOT enemies to lovers oh my goooosh

I also like the theory that Chu-Chu is a representation of Anthy’s feelings. He shows the dislike and hesitation Anthy has towards certain people and is also more outwardly emotive in general. Utena is the only one who treats Chu-Chu well, thus being the only person to consider Anthy’s feelings.

Something I realized today, if Chu-Chu is Ikuhara's self-insert:

- that one dance scene where Chu-Chu is the one playing the music

- the fact that Chu-Chu is what brought Utena and Anthy together

If it really is his self-insert, it really was just a way to tell us he ships them.

I’m so used to Utena’s mind-fucking that sometimes I forget how strange it is. I tried explaining it to a friend the other day, and I was struck by how insane it really sounds. 

Sapphic girls with swords destroying the prince role? Contemplation about eternity and reality? Dismantling the patriarchy? Everyone sleeps with everyone (including incest)? Those fucking crazy Nanami episodes (like her turning into a cow) with their absurd humour? Then the next episode veers off on the angst train again?

So strange but still so good!

What really happened at Hero and Claudio's wedding

Hero: Claudio, what are you talking about?

Claudio: *about to play "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! At the Disco* Oh, you haven't heard?

when renge gets wind of what the host club are up to she shows up but not in her usual fashion— shes actually very shy bc she loves the manga so much? she has cosplayed as mamiko many times and has written and favorited many fics. she doesnt know what to do w herself at first w the many revelations. but kashima is everything tamaki should be, mikorin is a fellow fan, and nozaki is actually very nice? she is thrilled. nozaki is introduced to fanfiction and he loves it so much,

YOU KNOW SHE HEARD ABOUT MISS YUMENO VISITING AND CAME IN MAMIKO COSPLAY WITH A STACK OF MANGA TO SIGN 

So Renge showed up dramatically fashionably late as always

“HAHAHAHA. I HEAR ESTEEMED AUTHOR MISS YUMENO IS VISITING THE CLUB. AS HER NUMBER ONE FAN I CAME DRESSED AS THE LEAD MAMIKO. SO BOYS, TELL ME WHERE SHE IS I SIMPLY MUST MEET HER”

I read that in her voice while I was typing my god

All the mangan and hosts just. point. at Nozaki

Who waves 

After a mild tantrum bc Renge does NOT believe that this is Miss Yumeno she finally believes them and gets all shy

Prompting confusion from Mangang bc wasn't she just loud??

“Wait why is she shy if she-”

“shhhhhh just go with it”

She does end up LOVING Kashima she actually was part of the “welcome haram” when Kashima showed up but she gets hella disappointed when she learns Kashima is a girl bc we know Renge is a straight ™ 

To go over the play that Tamaki wants Hori and Nozaki to help him with Kashima and Hori run a few basic lines to get a feel of the stage 

Hori starts acting and Renge falls in love. 

She’s decided that he’s a poor man with a dream of the Big City Stage™ just like in her stories/games and it’s her job to fund his dream and they'll be together forever

Hori is NOT INTERESTED

He thinks she's batshit insane to the 100th degree and wants NOTHING to do with her

When she starts showing Nozaki fan fiction they head over to the couch where Hori is sitting and she just sits in his lap

And then there's  Kashima loosing her shit in the background and Chiyo waiting for the damn of Hori’s shock to break bc she knows what's coming next

At first Hori doesn't really know what to do bc he’s got Renge on his lap and her arms are around his neck and he’s just in shock

Until he snaps out of it and just YEETS her off of him

“What the hell?! Why would you do that?!”

Cue Renge throwing another tantrum 

“WE’RE SUPPOSED RUN AWAY AND  I CAN FUND YOUR BROADWAY DREAMS AND WE CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

Kyouya eventually calms Renge down bc he’s really the only one who's good enough with words to get it done quickly and Hori just sulks with Kashima

Mangang is trying not to laugh bc holy shit Hori was shook ™ 

Hosts are trying not to loose their shit because omg someone finally yelled at Renge this is the best day ever

All the hosts gained a little more respect for Hori after that

And Kashima doesn't flirt with Renge anymore totally not out of pettiness nope

Nozaki caught none of this he was reading fanfiction
