maybe im overthinking, but do you ever think abt how in episode 1, utena justifies wearing the boys uniform by saying its not against the rules? while this was clearly a "gotcha" moment against that stuffy teacher, i feel like it also shows how shes still functioning within the parameters of the ohtori system. like, yeah, shes being rebellious, but its a form of rebellion that isnt actually revolutionary- shes still following the rules propagating the structure built around the patriarchal prince, shes just doing it in the "opposite" way of whats expected, but shes not actually fighting it. though, of course, even this much deviance still tries to get corrected... its still not against the rules. i feel like from the beginning we're told aspiring to princedom isn't a noble goal, and that utena is still part of the system as long as she pursues it

read all about it! very shy snail hides all day, contemplates and declines to take outdoor expedition next day
[image description: a white mystery snail with a brown striped shell in a pineapple house aquarium decoration. in the first image, the snail hangs upside down in the doorway with its long antennae curled up by its eyestalks. in the second, the snail has moved further into the decoration. in the third image, one of the snail's antenna is sticking out of an upper window of the house.]

urban decay needs to bring back gerards red eyeshadow because first of all how dare you make something that cool, name it Gash, and discontinue it but second of all I miss my red lipstick so much I can鈥檛 wear it because I always have a mask on so I need something equivalently Gender
