James: No Sirius, you're fine. Just be yourself.

Sirius: Be myself? James, I have one day to win over Remus's dad. How long did it take before you guys started liking me?

Peter: Couple weeks.

Remus: Six months.

Regulus: Jury's STILL out.

Sirius: See, James? "Be myself," what kind of garbage advice is that? I hope you're not telling Harry that crap.

meeee

my mood every time i come to tumblr.

Just rewatched princess tutu and I need. Content.

[argondezaoito]

just brilliant

When you tell me to choose my favorite fashion era my answer is obvious: The Empire silhouette, Empire line, Empire fashion.

This is the fashion from 1795-1820 period France and was on it’s peak when the French Empress, Joséphine de Beauharnais, the first wife of Napoléon Bonaparte, popularized the style across Europe.

This style was lighter and purer and it took fashion from the Greek/Roman and Classical ideals (thus the mythology look). The previous era was the overly flashy Rococo, influenced by Marie Antoinette. This dress is inspired by a portrait of Napoléon’s sister, Pauline.

Sailor Moon fans, THIS is the fashion that greatly inspired Naoko Takeuchi when she created the Moon Kingdom fashion and Princess Serenity’s iconic dress .

Thank you for the request!

creatures of hope and despair.

this is a brilliant post, and it's also beautiful and very, very soothing thank you and i love this show so much

But you can take the Raven in Princess Tutu as being a metaphor for despair and that we all have a raven somewhere inside of us, and that that doesn’t make us bad people. These emotions are a part of us and they’re important parts of what make us human but they are not who we are and they do not need to define us and how both Rue and Mytho learn to live with the raven’s blood in their veins, and how that’s okay.

And in contrast to that you’ve got Princess Tutu (as represented by all the swan imagery in the show) who is the hope we all carry inside us, and which Duck arguably has the most of, hence why she’s chosen to be Princess Tutu in the first place, and illustrates how Duck herself is Princess Tutu and not just a conduit for that power because that hope comes form Duck and she truly is Princess Tutu.

And even Duck the literal embodiment of hope in this story  has her moment of despair at the bottom of the lake, and is able to overcome it because she has someone standing by her side.

And the towns people turning into ravens, and then reverting to swans when Duck gives them all hope at the end just crystallizes this idea that we are creatures of hope and despair and that it’s up to us to make the decision on weather to be hopeful or let despair take control of our actions.

I love this show guys.

I've been thinking about this since I first saw the show, thank you for putting it into words!!

Princess Tutu Ending (Theory?):

So after finishing Princess Tutu I realized something. The ending has Duck (Ahiru) sleeping in a body of water by herself. A manly figure in the school’s uniform shows up in the reflection of the water later on and her eyes sparkle in happiness/excitement. It was unclear who this character was, but it really could either be Mytho or Fakir (Fakia). I figured it was Fakir, but after watching the ending of the series, (this is an image a little before the show ends):

(ignore the quality of the photo, I couldn’t find anything else) This show doesn’t really explain every possibilty with its ending and is quite ambigous. But either way, after seeing this image, I thought: wait, that has to be Fakir at the ending, right? I don’t think Fakir is wearing his uniform in this, but regardless, I still think so. (SPOILERS) In the show, Fakir ends up being with Duck and Rue/Mytho leave to go back to the story. Just as Fakir promised in the show later on, he stays with Duck, as is seen here, and that could be one reason why Duck was so happy to see the reflection (that being, Fakir). Another reason I think Fakir is the one in the water’s reflection is because Duck bobs in the water of the ending and then sinks in the water after, which also happens in this scene.

Coincidence? Maybe, but I doubt it.

What do ya’ll think? Maybe people have already thought this, it’s been out since 2002. If this is the case though, that’s one clever ending (in both ways)!

TL;DR: Fakir is (probably) the reflection of the character Duck sees in the water in the ED based on the end of the show.

Kinkan (Golden Krone in english version), the town in Princess Tutu, was highly inspired by Nördlingen in Germany but not only. Here are the comparisons between anime scenery and real places:

The gate to the dance school is very similar to the gate of Munich:

Kinkan dance school was inspired by the Hospital of the Holy Ghost in Nuremberg:

The swan fountain can be seen in Hohenschwangau castle:

The triple archway in the background of the end scene with Mytho and Rue is very similar to the one in the singers room in Neuschwanstein castle

The curtain in the opening is identical to the one of the Mariinski Theater of Saint Petersburgh

Drosselmeyer’s clock is the one from The Nutcracker ballet (at least in some versions, an owl is represented)

Drosselmeyer’s tomb is Hans Christian Andersen’s tomb replica:

But the backgrounds are mainly taken from Nördlingen:

Deininger tor

The church

The restaurant

The hostel

Fakir’s house

The mill

The city hall

The parapet walkway

The house “Gerberhäuser”

Reimlinger tor

i hope you’re all aware of the 300 recently discovered love letters between two gay british soldiers during ww2 that are going to be possibly adapted into a film.

they’re beautiful and poetic and tragic and heart-wrenching and brave. i highly suggest going and reading the excerpts. 

here’s the one that broke my heart:

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our letters could be published in the future in a more enlightened time. Then all the world could see how in love we are.“
