Deliberately leaving out the URL but. Screenshot of shame. This is what I was talking about here. Me when I compare a sexually abused teenage girl to a grown ass man and pretend the things they do to a different sexually abused teenage girl are equivalent. Also, this clown reblogged my sillygoofy post about Nanami and Kozue putting forks in the microwave, and the idea that my shitpost could appeal to someone who misunderstands the character this aggressively makes me feel DIRTY.

Checked the post out of morbid curiosity and there's 4 replies, none of which are visible to me, just the "hidden, blocked or removed" disclaimer. Lmao.

Decided to look at my "For You" page, a thing I almost never do, and was immediately presented with the single worst Kozue take I have ever seen in my life. I need to be sedated

Saionji is dragged into attending a Student Council meeting despite currently being a monkey. Everyone has a good time with this except for him.

@saionjeans I finally wrote the thing I've been threatening to write since like, our first conversation

[emberwritesinsight]

Lmao real

can't believe i just said "it's hard not to like saionji" if i had known that i would someday come to say that the first time i watched utena i would think i had since been lobotomized. and yet, it's hard not to like saionji.....

When Touga is finally released from adult small talk, he finds Nanami and Anthy at the base of a tree, watching a single-file procession of ants. They’re both following the ants with their eyes, not saying a word. Touga’s not sure what to make of it, but Nanami jumps up to hug him as always, so he figures he shouldn’t worry about it. - In another world, Anthy, Touga and Nanami get along a little better as children than as teenagers.

Madoka Magica holds such a weird place in my heart these days because it was the first anime I FINISHED and what sent me down the pipeline that lead to watching Utena. And there are a lot of things about it I genuinely love- I think the characters are compelling and the soundtrack fucks and the fucked up mixed-media animation of the witches still scratches a very specific itch in my brain.

HOWEVER I am far enough from my most fervent period of adoration to pick up on the vibe that SOMEONE on the writing team thinks the tragedy of magical girls is a tragedy of wanting too much and being crushed by your own hubris and selfishness, rather than a tragedy of some fucking cat lying by omission to a bunch of teenage girls and doing something to them that, to me, was such an obvious rape metaphor that I was fucking floored by it, and I do not like that!

(Whoever that person on the writing team is did not do a good enough job of incorporating that view into the final product, and so the show ends with Madoka becoming a God specifically to alleviate these girls' suffering, which is obviously not something you do if your story wants to send the message that the suffering, however sad, is deserved. Rebellion doesn't really put a dent in this because that movie is FULLY about Homura's mental health crumbling in the wake of Madoka's sacrifice, but doesn't really frame that sacrifice as wrong.)

#LMFAOOOO#nanami#fav#this literally happened to my friend…… 😭

@saionjeans ELABORATE???

If Anthy ever did successfully grow weed as in the one jokepost whats the overunder on "time until a scaredweed brownie is in Nanami's hand". Whats the TTK.

negative 5 minutes, she would find the brownie before anthy ever even started growing it

the episode would open up on nanami finding a brownie left on her bedside table. she would go "oh that's so thoughtful of my brother!" and eat it and would immediately start getting scared. she'd go out and ask touga what was up and he'd say "that's normal womanly emotions, stop being such a woman" so she'd assume she was weird for not having been constantly scary high her entire life. she would chat with miki and juri at different points. juri would recognize she was high and give some recommendations nanami would completely misunderstand, miki would just think she had a cold and would freak her out even more. around the halfway mark utena would ask anthy what the new plant she was growing was and anthy would say "grass" as she watered the lawn and utena would go "no i meant... never mind" as nanami walked up to them. anthy would start winding nanami up even more than usual and utena would assume she was planning something. by the end she would have started to blame the brownie but for some completely erroneous reason and would say utena definitely planted the brownie before saionji said something that made her think he was responsible. the episode would end with anthy offering freshly baked brownies to the whole student council and smiling, saionji would be the first to bite and would immediately go fucking nuts

is this pretty much just "nanamis egg but with her getting high"? yeah, but i stand by it

Hey guys I wrote a few more chapters of my Anthy-Kozue-Nanami chatfic I didn't update you on, read if you're interested

[emberwritesinsight]

What the fuck kind of comments were being left that were so egregious AO3 temporarily killed guest comments

[emberwritesinsight]

>Be me

>Enjoy the moment where Anthy grabs Utena's boob as SOMETHING to laugh about in an episode that is mostly a Grooming Extravaganza

>Start thinking about Utena's total non-reaction to the groping

>Make a few jokes about how Anthy has definitely done this before if Utena is so unfazed

>Remember the kiss in the second E.D.

>Start seriously thinking about the possibility that Utena and Anthy just... make out sometimes, offscreen, and Utena simply refuses to acknowledge what her enjoyment of that says about her (possibly justifying it to herself by arguing to herself that the circumstances surrounding their relationship are already so goddamn weird that it's not really THAT strange)

>Start thinking about people almost catching them

>Write fanfic

>Remember boob grab that started this train of thought

>Start thinking about the Feelings Anthy would have about being attracted to Utena and acting on those feelings to some extent, given her very screwed up relationship with sex and her own body

>Stare at the wall
