#it’s just like. gestures wildly at the entire show. and i was like aaaaaaaaaa

[heartslobbf]

people will be like ‘yeah it’s really relevant that utena is an orphan haha’ and then not even recognise how utena being a character without living blood relatives is hugely significant in a show where almost all of the most atrocious relationships are ones that have been spurred on by the notion of familial/blood obligation. and utena herself clings so tightly to what is essentially a romantic ideal of ‘the family’, ‘the blood relative’, telling anthy she’s jealous of her relationship with akio, insisting to nanami that she should persevere with her relationship with touga because you’re still siblings. in ohtori, family is something you can only be born into. in ohtori, family is the way you gain power. i mean for the love of god it’s right there, revolutionary girl utena is a family abolitionist masterpiece and it makes me claw at the walls!!!!!!!!! read the palace perspective!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! engage more with these aspects of the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kill any and all people who go ‘why are there so many weird sibling dynamics i only came for the lesbians’ her NAME is kiryuu nanami and she does both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#is this even coherent im feeling deranged #i love you rgu i LOVE what you said about family it was so crazy fr fr #it’s just like. gestures wildly at the entire show. and i was like aaaaaaaaaa #who wants to hear all my thoughts about the kiryuu siblings and utena and anthy and akio hanahahahahahaha #and monarchies and sacrifice and obligation and guilt and resentment etc etc etc #the we should live to help each other of it all. throwing up and screaming #why should you live to help each other? because you’re siblings????? like. like. utena says ‘because i love you. because i love you’ #and she actually does. and that’s not a manufactured love she’s been told she should feel #it’s in fact the opposite bc it’s queer #‘everyone loves their siblings because you’re siblings and that’s how it works tee hee’ vs queer love as a destructive force #god anyway im normal (lie) #rgu #revolutionary girl utena #shut up daisy
