This is mostly an account I use to talk to people or dump things when I don't want to annoy my followers.

I bought a video from the salvation army entitled ‘Utena’… I have no fucking idea whats going on…
*whispers that if this is Revolutionary Girl Utena you’re talking about, watch it
it’s by the director of Sailor Moon and is pretty fantastic
although no one ever has any idea what is going on
ever*
i’m getting real sick of people not understanding the first arc of utena and dismissing it as boring as well as shaming anthy and calling her irritating/emotionless/useless/weak without even giving her character a chance or even beginning to grasp what she is meant to be as well as so many other things
basically I am just sick of the majority of newcomers in the utena tag who don’t even bother with it and just clog up the tag
Honest to God, I think half the problem is just because people don’t know how to tag things. I mean, I also see a lot of liveblogs under the Utena tag, and it’s annoying, yeah
but at the same time, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt because, hey, maybe that’s a newbie mistake, right? But sometimes it gets pretty difficult to when there are SO many people doing it, and it’s so exhausting asking them all not to :P
Basically, what should happen is there should be a common handbook to tumblr etiquette - what you should tag and what you shouldn’t and WHY tagging certain things is discourteous to others - and people should, well, follow it.
Is Utena really a very sexist show under its pseudo-feminist shell?
Does the show imply that all in all men are the worst scumbags of the world and are solely responsible for women suffering?
Does the show imply that at their core women are unfairly blamed angels who do everything in the name of unconditional love and can sacrifice their whole being for others (while men can’t because there is always a degree of selfishness behind their every act)?
Just saw someone accusing RGU of covert sexism
Is the President secretly some manner of lizard man?
Is toothpaste actually bad for your teeth, and its use only encouraged to send more people to expensive dental procedures unnecessarily?
Is Tumblr actually a front for a government surveillance program, meant to find the endless untapped potential in high schoolers and college students who sit around reblogging gifs and having feelings about fictional characters?
WHAT ELSE DON’T THEY WANT US TO KNOW?
Idk man, I think you might be onto something about Tumblr
I’ve always suspected this website was a government front
always
More Utena music thrown in the Wub machine.
So, there was an epic power trio cuddle challenge going on between Pilf and Miki and Midshipman last night and I MISSED IT BECAUSE MY BODY FAILED TO BE AWAKE. But anyone who follows this blog knows that I am mostly here for the cuddles, and to have this just fall into my lap. Well, that’s not an opportunity to let pass.
This probably isn’t going on AO3 because it was written in, like, an hour, and is absolutely nothing but fluff and tropes and mindless snuggling. However, it does vaguely exist in the Lumiere ‘verse. You can stick it between Parts I and II if you so choose.
Title: Shine
Characters: Enjolras, Combeferre, Courfeyrac
Summary: “Even the angel of the people must occasionally shine his halo.”
I REGRET NOTHING.
good utena meta discussion
Just an explanation of my OTP.
Okay so I haven’t read Les Mis yet but can someone tell me, does Comberferre hate Grantaire or something? I get that he’s Enjolras’s friend and he’s his first priorty but sometimes people write him as if he genuinely despised R. It pisses me off, but then again maybe there’s just something I don’t know?
No? Not that I recall, at least…Combeferre is not a hateful character AT ALL (he’s described in-text as basically as the peacenik philosophy side of the revolution) and whoever is telling you this is suffering from some serious OOC.
