Im So Used To Utenas Mind-fucking That Sometimes I Forget How Strange It Is. I Tried Explaining It To

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!

YES! Especially books

I want more dark academia content about lesbians/wlw and I want it right now

Beatrice and Benedick are NOT enemies to lovers oh my goooosh

People that ignore Matthias Helvar’s character development and claim his relationship with Nina is toxic are probably the same people that will ship Zuko with Katara or Sokka.

Y’all - they are all the same type of enemy to lover dynamic. You’re just not ready for that conversation.

It’s a terrible day when your library card expires during quarantine, all your ebook holds are suddenly becoming available and you can’t read any of them

And when they get home, Calcifer tries to get Sophie to explain it to him, which leads to a scandalized and sputtering Sophie and a Howl would slithers out of that conversation quite joyful while his wife screams at him to get back there and take responsibility.

Howl loves the Rocky Horror Picture Show with a passion Howl saw Rocky Horror Picture Show at its premiere in London in 1975 and fell in love instantly Howl went as Frank N. Furter for Halloween one time and Megan absolutely refused to be seen with him Howl occasionally sings Time Warp in the shower Howl occasionally DOES the Time Warp in the shower Howl has slipped and fallen while doing the Time Warp in the shower

I know barely anything about Rocky Horror Picture Show but that sounds accurate tbh
