I think it’s actually very timely of me to be blogging about the Absolute Destiny Apocalypse during the actual apocalypse

[CONTENT WARNING: abuse, violence, incest, attempted suicide, it would probably be faster to list all the things that DON’T go wrong]

this is my vibe going into the last 2 episodes of RGU, compete with the red convertible

I'm so glad that, even though it's the climactic final duel, they got to use the 2 minute stock footage sequence one more time. Good for them

ANTHY AND UTENA: BEST FRIENDS FOREVER :’)

Red Carpet Photoshoot on the way to oblivion

Utena is like "so the monster was really just Mr. Jenkins the whole time!" and Akio is like "bitch you knew that the whole time, to borrow your Scooby Doo analogy, you just didn't want to confront the inconvenient reality of Mr. Jenkins and the monster being the same person"

LMAO JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I THINK THIS SCENE GAVE ME A CARDIAC EVENT I have no idea if I'm feeling horror or amusement or general bafflement, it's just like [EXTREMELY STRONG BUT UNDEFINED EMOTION]

Akio: And then the prince and the princess go to Disneyland and hold hands–

Anthy: ughhhh (rolls her eyes so hard that she transcends this plane of existence)

Akio: Ignore her. She’s being "ironic"

now Anthy takes on the appearance she had on the day she was first victimized, reverting back to her initial trauma as if not a day has passed since then. not to validate Saionji but he was right when he said “we are all still stuck in our own coffins”

Fucked up relationship ended with ANTHY, now UTENA is my Rose Bride

If eternal bliss means giving up swords then maybe ETERNAL BLISS AIN’T FOR ME

Akio: AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY :) EVER :) AFTER :)

Utena: What about the woman dying behind you

Akio: This isn’t about her

Utena: Excuse me but I was specifically told that if I got this far I would be given the power to revolutionize the world?

Akio: Revolution machine broke. Try transcending and ignoring the world instead.

Utena: You think I'm the type who would take a Pepsi in place of a Coke?

Catch Anthy “I just realized that suffering is not the default state of existence and it is not pointless nor shameful to want better things for me” Himemiya about to SHATTER MY SOUL

Anthy: by confessing that I have been manipulating you, I shall manipulate you into abandoning me and the quest for revolution and trick you into saving yourself. hehehe 5 points for Anthy Himemiya

I interpret Anthy’s confession as an ulterior motive to force Utena to stop fighting on her behalf, but I think UTENA just interprets it as “we’re having Real Talk Heart To Heart Girl Time now” and just starts to chronicle her own misdeeds nibbling at her conscience

Anthy: stop dueling stop dueling stop dueling stop dueli

Utena: Anyway I still have a LOT of unpacking to do regarding victim-blaming and internalized misogyny. Which is why I have come to the decision to KEEP DUELING!

I love anthy, she doesn't say "I forgive you" or "it's okay to make mistakes" she just says "well we'll all be dead soon anyway so, on a cosmic level, ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯"

$I love anthy, she doesn't say "I forgive you" or "it's okay to make mistakes" she just says "well we'll all be dead soon anyway so, on a cosmic level, ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯"$

“and one more thing, Miss Utena. Don’t trust ANYONE who tells you that high school is the best years of your life”

(YOINK) my destiny now
