Reblogging this for lesbian visibility week because realising I was a lesbian granted me the power of revolution! There are few things in this world I love more than being a lesbian!

I NEED to talk about lesbianism in revolutionary girl utena with other lesbians. So many thoughts. So many thoughts about Utena specifically and how, to me at least, her perceived attraction to men is symbolic of her being a victim of both grooming and the patriarchy overall. She’s fighting mega comphet demons on multiple fronts, and she’s only 14. God knows I remember the comphet demons when I was 14, and I’m sure many other lesbians see themselves in her that way too.

I think one of the most important things for me distinguishing Utena as a lesbian rather than bisexual is the revelation that her rose crest ring was never leading her back to ‘the prince.’ It was leading her back to Anthy. The ring that drives her since the beginning, and drives her ‘attraction’ to men (both Touga and Akio - although of course there is a grooming element on their parts to be taken into account here as well), she is revealed to be mistaken about. I take it as she is mistaken about her attraction to men as well, but that’s just my own understanding of course. To me, it was always Anthy :)

It’s important to me that when Utena and Anthy break free of Ohtori, they do so as lesbians. To grow past their victimisation by men and patriarchy and realise, no, it’s been women all along, it’s always been her - is soooo powerful to me. To be groomed both literally (Akio) and figuratively (the patriarchy as a whole) and turn around in defiance of that to claim a lesbian identity and revolutionise themselves as a result - it’s just wonderful. I appreciate the show allows for the interpretation of lesbianism as a revolution of the self - because it certainly was for me.

Disclaimer! This isn’t me invalidating any other interpretations! It is a very interpretative show! This is just an insight into the lens through which I viewed it as a lesbian myself!

Been thinking about my darling Richeh from wha this autism awareness month, because 1) I am autistic and obsessed with witch hat atelier, 2) I love her so dearly, and 3) regardless of intention I think she is really wonderful autism representation. Here are some of the reasons why!

Sensory needs

When I think of Richeh’s sensory needs I think mainly of food and noise, but I’d argue there’s some tactile and olfactory stuff there with her too. For food, we see in wha kitchen that she’s pretty avoidant of certain foods (aka anything that isn’t sweets or meats!) and Qifrey likes to think of ways he can incorporate more variety into her diet without pushing her - I think mainly of the halfmoon legumes chapter here. In that same chapter there is a panel of her distressed because her hands smell like grass after helping prepare them, which I like to interpret as a sensory aversion to the smell. I also really love how both the girls and Qifrey are very surprised and proud of Richeh for being willing to try new foods, but also insist she needn’t push herself - it’s so sweet to me thats she’s in an environment where she’s understood and allowed to have different needs without being portrayed as an inconvenience. For an example of aversion to noise I think of the quartz sugar crystals chapter in wha kitchen volume 4, where Qifrey is bashing up the crystals and Richeh looks very much the way I do when dealing with loud noises! Squeezing the life out of poor brushbug! I like to think she finds brushbug’s fur a sensory comfort too, since I feel like out of all of the girls she seems to be panelled with him the most (could be confirmation bias on my part!), I know that’s a bit more of a stretch but that’s how I like to see it!

Affect, expression, and bluntness

In my opinion, Richeh generally either has more subdued facial expressions or conveys emotion with different facial expressions compared to the other girls. My favourite example is the panel after she gives everyone their guiding rings - her face is pretty neutral (minus the blush) and she’s hiding behind her hair and nodding, and there’s a little arrow saying she’s overjoyed. It’s one of my favourite Richeh panels, she’s looks so silly, all the panels I’m talking about I’m just gonna attach to this post at the end. When I read her dialogue (outside of particularly tense or emotional moments) I find myself naturally reading it with more of a flat affect/intonation than I do other characters, but I don’t know whether that’s just a me thing. I definitely think that she can be pretty blunt though! She’s unguarded about her opinions and honestly that’s fucking awesome. Maybe not awesome all of the time, I’ll attach a panel I’m thinking of where she tells Tetia her hairstyle is weird and Agott tells her off for being blunt lol

Fixation and attention to detail

This bit is specifically about the quartz sugar crystal chapter in the kitchen spin-off that I mentioned before, because I think she’s just so wonderful in it. Like bro that’s my daughter for real. Anyway, Qifrey crushes up a big pretty sugar crystal to make some gelatin sweets for the girls but Richeh is upset that he has to destroy the original crystal. Thinking about it, that could definitely be interpreted as the autistic tendency to get attached to certain inanimate objects. She gets a little fixated here, and whilst the other girls are making their own crystal sweets in fun new shapes and colours, Richeh makes a perfect replica of the original sugar crystal from memory. She is so strange and I love her so much.

Aversion to change

This is a huge part of Richeh’s early character and pretty much the focus of volume 4. She loves her magic and feels secure in her own style and talents, but is reluctant to expand her magic knowledge out of fear of this changing and causing her to lose the magic that feels genuine and personal to her. I think difficulty with change is a less well known autistic trait, but many of us really struggle with it, myself especially! Volume 4 means so much to me, and regardless of Shirahama’s intention I was glad to see myself reflected in Richeh there.

Other miscellaneous things

I just remembered about her little room!! The cool magic hiding spot she has in that big pot in her room where she escapes to when she doesn’t want to talk or be around people. Need me one of those for real. I think there also some evidence for her stimming, especially that one panel where she’s excited and is pumping her fists up and down in the air with a completely blank expression, that really reads as autistic to me ahaha

I’ve ran out of things to add I think, and I don’t actually expect anyone to read this, it’s mainly for me and I’m sure it’ll sit in my drafts for a while anyway! Disclaimer: I’m not trying to say anything about Shirahama’s writing intentions, I’m just having fun! Read witch hat atelier please! It might be my favourite thing in the world at the moment actually! Oh yeah! The panels! I’ll just shove all the ones I can find below lol

finished watching the bungo stray dogs anime and my main question is do any of the people in this show know you can have sex with someone without trying to kill them first (and/or after)

[guttednight]

happy birthday to yuji itadori and hikaru indou and most importantly ME!!!

[guttednight]

this always kills me because why is he so shifty!! qifrey!! you are scaring euini!! stop it with that nefarious look in your eye!!

[guttednight]

legendary panel btw

[guttednight]

anyway so here’s a collection of my favourite coustas panels/illustrations for no particular reason……

spoilers obvs (but not for the new chapter)

son boy….. my boy…

[guttednight]

What the ever living fuck is happening here on this day. I’m in such a level of disbelief that whenever I think about that stupid fucking manga I am grinning like a crazed fool. I’m just looking through the spoiler tag laughing and shaking my head. No one is out here doing it like Shirahama. People keep pointing out foreshadowing from *years* ago dude I can’t take it WHA too goated fr

[guttednight]

was reorganising my manga shelf and noticed that my olly volume is much shorter than my qifrey volume hehehe the height difference is manifesting into reality

they always find each other guys. they always find each other. they are not alone. yeah they might be top 1 yuri fr. somehow they manage to be both doomed and forever fated, no one is doing it like them, they set the standard - revolutionised the world, if you will.

[guttednight]

got my hands on the french artbook. i am thinking thoughts. none of them PG-13.

[guttednight]

one thing i am terrified of when the witch hat atelier anime comes out is finding out i’ve been pronouncing ‘qifrey’ horrifically wrong this entire time
