a delusional comic.

important to note for future ref this was drawn during 3.2 (this can be set btwn 3.1-3.2) but ofc since its a dream theres tons of inaccuracies. obviously castorice cant touch anyone and ofc characters shouldnt be here are here (that are "dead" etc). and of course, mydei is not supposed to have the signet ring either.

I've heard some fans interpret the Touga x Saionji relationship through the lens of Saionji wanting to be Touga's princess. But I think it's the opposite Saionji pushes back against the idea of being Touga's princess.

He wants to be with Touga as an equals. Touga is the one who wants Saionji in the princess role much like Nanami. He causes and bandages his wounds. Saionji threw himself into competing with Touga because he learned through patriarchy the only equal relationship between guys was competitors. He thinks only a masculine gender role will be the only way they can play together.

Saionji;'s eternal friendship was a last desperate attempt to make them equals because Saionji is terrified of submitting to Touga. Because Touga is an abuser and having no agency is terrifying.

The ending has Saionji enter the bride role with clear goals and agency. He's scared and exhausted but its still his choice. Its a step towards positive growth. Saionji is occupying a feminine role on his own terms and on equal grounds with Touga. Which the ending suggests they find they actually prefer.

guys pls vote for touga/saionji. the director confirmed that the car and motorcycle scenes were a metaphor for them having gay sex. saionji is so desperately in love with touga but he can't process his emotions towards him so he takes it out on everyone else because he wants to "beat" touga out of fear of feeling inferior to him. touga is so misogynistic he's gay. *insert that one shitpost about anthy saying that in ancient rome guys used to have sex with each other because they thought women were inferior*. saionji only wants anthy because he believes it will grant him power over touga. saionji is feminized and placed into the "princess" role to touga's "prince" role. they are two really fucked up guys who are both being manipulated by akio, but it's implied that there's hope for them to leave ohtori's system. them riding in the motorcycle is the one of the few times they are acting somewhat on their own accord outside of akio's influence/manipulation, at least partially. do you like problematic yet thematically interesting gays? vote touionji.

Thank you for your propaganda submission! Feel free to add these beneath the Touionji poll. I'll add the tags for locating this propaganda on this post.

something i think about a lot is the way utena twists and subverts the idea of the chosen one protagonist. from the very first sequence in the very first episode, utena is set up to be special in this way. in her past she met this mythical figure, the prince, and it is her destiny to meet him again. eventually we of course start to suspect that this isn't really the case, that there's something else going on, but the narrative still leaves us for a long time with the impression that there is something special and important about utena. she's the dueling champion after all! she keeps winning, seemingly through magic. but, as it turns out, it's all an illusion and a lie. she isn't, and never could have been, this larger than life hero figure. she's just some kid. and the only way in which she was ever "chosen" was by a predator picking out his prey. using this exact narrative about the special and important and heroic to isolate her and gain her trust. and not even in this is she particularly unique. she just happens to be the most vulnerable, the most convenient, of his targets.

and, crucially, it's okay (good, even!) that she's not this hero she is initially painted (and trying to paint herself) to be. princes aren't real. it's not a moral failing on her part that she was hurt and deceived. she's not supposed to be perfect. and the best way she can help the people she wants to help, is simply by trying to be a good friend.

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.

I think part of the reason I’m so obsessed with MXTX’s works is the way that each story seems to hold you gently as say “Your kindness mattered. It didn’t alleviate the suffering, it did not undo the pain. But your kindness mattered.”

Kindness could not erase Luo Binghe’s abuse, but it changed the story into a kinder one.

Kindness did not stop Wei Wuxian’s death, but it did save a-Yuan.

Kindness did not undo Xie Lian’s suffering, but it renewed his sincerity to help others.

Kindness did not change the entire world, but it helped create a softer future.

Its such a nice message, that maybe kindness will not protect you, maybe you don’t see the outcome of it, but you should still try to be kind, and I love that honestly.
