is utena imprinted on your memory so hard you remember which parts of the soundtrack belong to which scenes or are you normal
#FUCK man the brainrot is neverending#but also jokes aside i think this evidence of how fucking effective that show is#THAT i remember the music and the scenes it belongs to so clearly is a testament to how fucking well those elements are applied w one anoth#tunes talks utena#but also repetition (REVOLUTION HA) in utena is such an incredibly important theme and this is reflected and reinforced in how it uses it's#soundtrack#that orpheus has only TWO applications in the entire show (fake destruction of the castle which is thought of as world ending and terrifyin#and 2. when utena and anthy are off to destroy what the castle means fr) and those two applications being thematically tied together is SO#good#if anything w that specific example orpheus is a bookend to the specific idea of destroying a system and how part of what's used to deter#its destruction is the fear that it's falling pieces will crush you#that you have no choice but submission

No, but I recently realised I’m usually subconsciously rooting for the Trojans in Trojan war stories even though like both sides kinda suck. However when I started thinking of why, I realised something.
The Trojan war happens because Priam and Hecabe couldn’t bring themselves to kill baby Paris (or even adult Paris when he comes back), the Greeks on the other hand only get to Troy in the first place because Agamemnon does kill Iphigenia (and then they also kill Hector’s baby son 10 years later for good measure). And like this comparison is really interesting to me, and especially because the story is usually told from the viewpoint of the Greeks
#i made an original post#Trojan war#Greek mythology#do I have conclusions? no I don’t study literature but I do find it fascinating#also I like to believe that Agamemmnon failed Artemis test when he killed his daughter#because I hate him#but also because it makes no sense for Artemis to demand a man to kill his daughter#like she’s the protector of young girls#and like actually his life would have been better if they had all stayed home#like now he camped for 10 years and when he got home he got murdered#also other topic but is there research into how some stories from the Old Testament have similar themes to Greek myths?#like there’s also this man who has to kill his son from god#and there’s the thing where Lot’s wife looked back when being forbidden and got turned into salt#which has always reminded me of Orpheus#if someone knows something about this please tell me#also other thing but the thing with Eris starting the Trojan war because she wasn’t invited to a party always reminded me of#the evil fairy in sleeping beauty#I know I’m mixing fiction and religion but shhh
