something about miki losing his first duel because he gets distracted by anthy cheering for utena, and losing his last duel because he's distracted by anthy kissing his sister is so funny to me. he loses his shit when he realizes there are other lesbians in the world than juri
Everyone's favourite Least Offensive Guy on the student council
I did some Utena Portraits!! I'm really happy with how they all turned out :)
Day 17 of Trying to Convince @itmustbek8 to Watch Revolutionary Girl Utena
(without context)
Whatever Miki is getting up to here
Anthy taking her shots where she can
[ID: A Revolutionary Utena gifset. Anthy is shown speaking with a placid smile to different duelists on the dueling grounds.
1 and 2: Anthy smiles, "Cheer up, Saionji... senpai." Saionji looks absolutely shocked and horrified.
Anthy smiles, "I'd like to study with you again." Miki looks stunned.
Anthy holds out an orange rose, saying, "One day, they will know your feelings." Juri scoffs angrily and walks away, saying, "Mind your own business!"
Anthy, standing against Touga, says, "Cheer up, Miss Tenjou." Her smile is very slight, but her expression is still pleasant. Utena looks stunned and upset, and tears fall from her eyes. End ID]
[Plain text: Anthy taking her shots where she can. End PT]
Yk it's bad when Touga literally calling for help
why tf this look so funny
I love this so much, Not only do I think it's a way to foreshadow Utena being forgotten But also a way to ask the audience to forgive everyone for forgetting her. One of my favorite parts is Juri never said that the boy drowned he just got washed away, implying that Utena didn't die by Anthy's stab wound at the At the top of a Ohtori Academy she merely disappeared washed away forgotten but we all know that she was never truly forgotten. On the outside world they're both free.
Now together they shine.

I feel like a lot of people don’t get Miki or are very uncharitable.
So first I’ll say what I think other people think, and then I’ll say why I disagree with that lol.
So I see a lot of people see Miki as some sort of puritan
To me, I’d say Miki has more of an OCD thing going on but that he doesn’t hold others to the standard he sets for himself. the only person he judges is his sister but that’s because she acts out specifically for his attention.
The way I see Miki in the show doesn’t believe in himself and feels like he needs other people to be enough.
I think Miki and Kozue have a parallel dinamica when it comes to their parents divorce and how they act out, Miki blames himself and Kozue blames the world/her parents.
Miki’s problem is that he feels like he needs other people to be enough, (though he is distrustful of adults which is interesting.)
And Kozue’s problem is she feels like she doesn’t need anyone.
But yeah TL;DR Miki’s problem is he thinks Anthy will make him whole and not that he’s judgmental.
But also I like hearing what people think so feel free to add what you think.
Color-wheel meme but make it ✨Utena✨
