the word utena itself means "calyx," the part of a flowering plant which protects the bud and supports the blooming petals. i had heard this before in a fun fan fact kind of way but heard it from Hiroshi Nagahama-san, rgu's art director, whom i had the privilege of hearing speak at otakon years back.

he also mentioned something i had not heard; he said the show's english title is not terribly accurate to the intent of the creators, but a poor translation problem on their part. he said a better translation is Utena: Girls' Revolution.

i get chills thinking about this distinction. he elaborated that the title wasn't referring to utena tenjou herself, or at least not Just to utena; nor any singular character for that matter. there's no Revolutionary Girl. its about the revolution of and for and by girls. and "utena"...the Support.

anyway tldr you could say the title as Support Girls' Revolution and that makes me crazy

if Sherlock Holmes was a tumblr user he’d be like prev reblog I noticed you tagged this gifset of Ryan Gosling in the Barbie movie trailer with “I want to *** *** *****” which you likely wanted us to interpret with a vague sexual meaning however three weeks ago you posted that you were researching Greek myths for fun and ever since then you have “coincidentally” used prometheus as a topic in several of your funnyguy posts that you wanted to blow up but only got 200 notes and coupled with your love of birds I can only assume that your tag actually meant “eat his liver” and that you’re deep in some sort of Prometheus hyperfixation that you’re coy about for some reason probably because it’s so weird. and then everyone on here would get all scared because of him

Being Transmasc is wild because first you’re a girl and you’re weak whiny emotional irrational annoying and uppity and “on your period” and you’d be prettier if you smiled and stopped making everything about feminism all the damn time

and then all of a sudden you’re a man and you’re ‘the problem’ and you just want to oppress girls and talk over women to validate yourself and make it all about you because all men ever do is take over the conversation and be abusive and use their toxic masculinity to bludgeon everyone around them and like

The whole time you’ve always just been you
