nanamis egg is such a good episode

#i love rgu and its multifaceted allegories. #liek yeah obv the egg is first menstruation (nanami has been acting strange #shes been short tempered sick moody whiny #) but its also womanhood/femininity... its also sexuality in general (juris ball) (you prefer girls nanami?) and its maturation which #in rgu through the patriarchal abusers gaze... maturation = desecration of purity... when nanami talks to utena #she feels threatened (idk if thats the right word tbh) by her masculine alignment (or perhaps her perceived denunciation of femininity?) #thinking utena will shame her for her maturation/femininity #but with juri (her masculinity may be ignored here because she is in a position of power and a quoteunquote proven woman unlike utena) #she sees this feminine maturation can be enjoyed #and she thinks her friends will shame her for not maturing femininely sooner #and maturing femininely doesnt mean reaching fertility or whatever i mean it in the archetypal sense the societal role sense #so she embraces this feminine maturation... but her ideal of the mature masculine shes been groomed by (touga) shames this so ofc that #takes precedence over any feminine influence #ugh its so good #on another note anthy is my favorite #<3
