Outie Dylan, swallowing his pride and deciding to tell his innie that he’s actually pretty cool despite the wife smooching debacle: I’m proud of you and while I’ll respect your decision if you want to resign I think you should make it work there because I don’t want you to die

one of the interesting things about the student council arc is that utena's insistence that anthy is a Totally Normal Girl is, yes, her projecting her ideas about what anthy Should Be onto her and unintentionally molding anthy to fit that image, encouraged by some subtle manipulations from anthy herself (like the blatant lie about anthy Wanting More Friends), but, um, also......she's right! anthy is just a normal girl. she isn't magically beholden to obeying whoever is 'engaged' to her. she thinks of herself as the "Rose Bride" and a "doll without a heart" to cope with her situation and her abuse at akio's and the world's hands but she is in fact a human girl with wants and desires and emotions and the agency to make her own choices. yes her finding the strength to seek freedom from the system and her role in it is much more complicated than utena just telling her to tell touga she doesn't want to do it anymore, and it's good that utena got the shock to the system of losing a duel to re-evaluate how she's been approaching her relationship with anthy up to this point. but ultimately even in episode 11 when utena is arguably at her most wrong and arrogant in how she handles the situation with anthy, she is still unknowingly far more correct about anthy than touga could ever be. she really is just a normal girl named anthy himemiya.

and utena is able to recognize that even as she is in some ways very wrong about her and her situation because utena has not bought into the fundamental premise of the dueling system. touga laughs at utena when utena unintentionally 'orders' anthy to tell touga she hates being the rose bride because it's funny to him that utena doesn't get it, but it's precisely because she doesn't get it that she's able to see anthy's humanity when no one else does. utena's naivete is often the subject of derision by fans (and certainly by the other characters), and in many respects it is a character flaw that leads her astray and unintentionally hurts others. but it can also be a strength that allows her to reject false constructs that other characters take for granted as true and instead see through to the fundamental reality of anthy's situation in ways even anthy is not yet prepared to do. only a fool would think the rose bride is just a normal girl. but didn't you know? utena is a fool.

One of the most interesting parts of the exhibition featuring costumes from Pride and Prejudice (1995) was the chance to see tiny details that were included not even necessarily for the benefit of the audience at home (as they're too small to be properly seen or worn for such a short amount of time you wouldn't notice) but because the people who made the adaptation truly cared about those details.

The absolute highlight for me was this lovely detail on the fob of Mr Darcy's pocket watch on his wedding outfit... (fair warning that this might make you melt):

Can you see that little silver charm? It's the shape of a heart!

Quote from the information card next to it:

Mr Darcy's outfit is very fine, but restrained and tasteful in style, just like him. On his fob, attached to his waist, is a filigree heart. Perhaps his only nod towards whimsy.

I think this is almost too lovely for words. I love it SO much. It's a beautiful detail and I think it's perfect for his character. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it... it's ridiculously sweet.

Its his turn to push down subtle laugh that tickled his throat. While he had no preconceived doubts of his own body it had never been like Tsurugi either to touch him in such an intimate way. Scars or no, fear or no, it was new and he was happy to oblige as promised. Sitting up just enough to pull it off completely. Letting the fine fabric become forgotten on the floor. Fair was fair.

Recollection flashed in molten gold, eyes widening at the mention of that letter's reply. Not a teasing suggestion as it had once been, but pure and international and honest. Much like his letter but somehow more meaningful to him with just two words against his multitude.

It wasn't just someone who he'd known for so long he was looking at. Within his eyes reflected the notion of looking down at his lost piece. Something he'd known should be there, but wasn't until he looked at Tsurugi. Love was too short a word. Too complicated and simple all the same. It was more important, but less confusing. There was no question, no wrestling with emotions or thoughts to find an answer. He just was. Tsurugi was just the one that belonged in those eyes. Gave all other sight, all other joy meaning.

The answer to endless mysteries in his mind. Love was too simple, worship too distant. It they were to meet at an altar it would be on one knee.

So to worship a creature made his equal meant to touch him with every ounce of adoration Mikuni possessed. Grasping both cheeks between his palms to help draw their lips together. If warmth and love and soul could pass from one to another here it slipped through embrace alone. Poured as life altering offering entwined with promises, forgiveness, trust and dedication in the form of a whisper into the space between his lips. "I love you."

If Mikuni's goal was to unravel him, he was achieving it. Not in the way one succumbs to pleasure but in the way his defenses had been sheathed. For the first time in a very long time, Tsurugi felt like he wasn't performing in some capacity. Like this was the version of him Mikuni could touch, see, taste, know. There was something special about it. About feeling at ease with the person one planned to give everything. While Tsurugi didn't have much, he wanted to give what he did to Mikuni. Or rather, share it.

As Mikuni drew his kisses upwards, Tsurugi breathed a sigh heavy with satisfaction. He'd always thought intimacy and romance were somewhat overrated, but Mikuni had already taught him the meaning of having a partner. Now, Tsurugi was quickly learning what it meant to care for someone who knew you. Who could tailor a formula that cut through the body and touched the soul. Almost unfair, really. Tsurugi wasn't sure his hands were so crafty nor thoughts so intricate.

When lips parted to something more akin to a weapon, and the sharp pain resulted in Tsurugi making a disagreeable sound: a cousin to a cough. Tsurugi didn't much care if he'd have to look at it later, but Mikuni'd better be prepare to be 'charged' for dinging the merchandise.

He decided then that they still weren't close enough. No, they were close enough, but he needed to rid the barrier. Hands lowered and took to the hem of Mikuni's unwrinkled shirt and dug beneath fabric to run his fingers along Mikuni's back. “ I meant what I said in your letter. I'm not letting go. ”
