the thing about rgu episodes 35&6 is its just like...... everything is veering towards a car crash but more than usual. and everyone is more aware of how car-crashy things are going to get than usual, but its like. no one is like ‘hey what if we didn’t get into a car crash though’, or if they are, they’re expressing that sentiment in the worst way possible (shoutout anthy and touga). you have so many tiny and horrendously fucked up moments in those episodes like juri saying utena ‘looks like a girl now’ and making miki consider whether or not that’s a ‘good’ thing, or utena falling asleep at the table with her earrings as anthy just Watches, or the scene where touga holds a carrot in various initially amusing and then promptly emotionally devastating ways as both he and the audience make a series of crushing realisations neither of us are totally comfortable accepting
its like. throughout all of this acknowledgement of ‘hm. this is bad’ everyone is filled with inaction. we are all trapped in our coffins!!! people are prosing but that’s about it. all of the student council know who end of the world is, and they don’t tell utena. im not blaming them for this because its masterful, compelling writing that serves to elevate the show and its themes, but i am pointing it out because what’s endlessly relevant in utena analysis is recognising when characters make choices that ohtori frames as a natural progression or event that is immutable. anthy and touga voice wow i cant believe at least one person has to die at the end of this duelling game, which we like have to do btw. yeah. what do you mean this is all constructed and therefore can be dismantled. oh my god im going to kill you what the fuck. i dont want to kill you. i dont know how else to get you out of this situation. guess ill try and remove you from the system, thereby proving it is a structure that can be left behind and undermining my fragile worldview ive believed to have kept me ‘safe’ all this time. why are you guys talking about coffins so much omgggggggg shut up shut up shut up

I had a really stupid thought while I was in the shower about the initial 'episode' my s/i is introduced in where the girls are trying to warn Utonium about his new lady friend 😂 ofc my s/i's human form would look like me and that means being visibly nonwhite/Latina and I thought of them exclaiming that she's an alien...and Utonium responding with something like "Girls! I'm surprised at you, everyone has a right to live in this country no matter where they come from." 😂😂😂

▶ Tsuiraku JK to Haijin Kyoushi - ep. 6
“But I thought it would be a waste if you didn't do something before that. I'm just speaking from experience."
"Then, what was that something that Mikoto-san did'?"

I'm watching queer eye and like. most times I can understand the fab5 and why they need to change/fix this person and the ways whatever they're teaching will help, but like. they're teaching etiquette to this total country rancher guy bc he wants to find a girl and settle down and he never learned that type of stuff and yeah manners and basic etiquette is important but rn they're focusing so much on dining and the amount of forks!! and no you can't dip your bread in soup you gotta tear a small piece and drop it in!! and you're absolutely terrible if you set your spoon on the table!!
idk man I'm super not vibing w this ep

I'm not convinced that anyone in that writer's room has ever been around an actual 14 year old.
I also can't believe they actually had a character in this show say "Anne Frank meets Stephen King." And in the same episode where Claudia says they fed on WWII POWs? FUCKING YIKES! Did anyone else feel their soul being launched out of their body by that trebuchet of a line? I thought it was in astoundingly poor taste.
