i couldnt stop thinking about the part in the 3rd arc zettai unmei sequence where roses grow under anthy's uniform and i couldn't stop thinking about. the similarities between swords and a rosebush's thorns.
[ID: Digital fanart of Revolutionary Girl Utena, depicting the Ohtori Academy girl's uniform draped over a rosebush. The rosebush has several purple roses blooming and a few leaves. Some branches of the rosebush come out of the sleeves and arch over the top, imitating arms. Some branches come out of the collar, imitating a head. The rosebush imitating the head is dense with purple roses, imitating Himemiya Anthy's hair. The background a dark blue background with lighter teal stripes that go down to a teal floor about halfway down the image.]
she's a weird girl, she's an actress, she's a symbol, she's vilified, she's victimised, she's an animal mum and a bad cook, she's funny, she's selfless, she's full of repressed rage, she's the sword in the stone, she's doomed, she's breaking free, she's ancient, she's just 14, she's a bitch she's a lover she's a sinner she's a saint, and on top of all that, she likes girls.
Hey does anyone know why Shiori Takatsuki has this weird connection to the shadow girls? In the show, shes literally at their stage. she and juri, in the scene where she pulls her sword out, are literally shadowy silhouettes. And in the movie? She literally STEALS the shadow girls' tape.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?? IS SHE A SHADOW GIRL?? /WAS/ SHE A SHADOW GIRL??
Utena and Anthy as mermaids :3 I originally made this piece for pride, I wish there was another movie where we can finally see them end up together >w<
