Simoun rewatch episodes 17-20
So, there are 4 primary points people tend to get into histrionics over when attempting to criticize the show: 1) Dominura and Rimone 2) Kaimu and Alti 3) Paraietta sexually assaulting Neviril 4) The fact that Kyoukoku is a patriarchy
4 is not even worth engaging with. That is some "1984 problematic" level nonsense. 2 is also fine, which I talked about in a previous post. The show overtly has Alti say that that wasn't what she actually wanted, and even in Kaimu's recounting of events, it happened in response to wartime trauma. 3 happened in this stretch of episodes, and drumroll.....it's fine! Who woulda thought!? /s This is some "RGU problematic" level stuff. And, like, yeah you can make "2006 yuri anime" jokes which are true, but I am increasingly less sympathetic to those kinds of arguments holding water about a story's actual merits the more time marches on (see my post on Sora no Woto). In the context of Simoun alone, this is a legit move. Paraietta has been watching Neviril be drawn to Amuria and Aaeru, two people who pushed Neviril's limits, chased her and challenged her boundaries. We saw Amuria keep surprising Neviril with kisses and escalating to making out without any warning, and Neviril giving in, culminating in Amuria overriding Neviril's concerns to perform the Emerald RiMaajon. Then, Aaeru seemingly got her way after banging down Neviril's door for while, and bulldozed through a lot of Chor Tempest's other norms. Paraietta watched Aaeru throw Neviril into disarray (by insensitively pushing for the Emerald), saw Aaeru calmly take command and be correct about it in the field, and then Neviril choosing to get over her own upset and deepen her connection with Aaeru anyways. That's a lot of evidence (from Paraietta's limited perspective) for the ol' "why do girls love them bad boys". Neviril has just told Paraietta that she doesn't want to lean on Paraietta, which is the role Paraietta had taken upon herself. So, if that's not working, why not go with the opposite strategy, which evidently worked on Neviril twice before? Paraietta is just a conflicted teenager. She doesn't have the means to understand the nuances in why Neviril feels the way she does. She hasn't seen Aaeru get put into context vs. Halconf trying to force Mamiina upon Neviril, or the way Neviril and Aaeru have been able to discuss the state of Kyoukoku and the nature of freedom together. So, Paraietta tries to brazenly challenge Neviril's boundaries, and instead blunders into taking Neviril's choices away instead. That, my friends, is what we call good writing. 1 is the closest the show comes to actually letting a ~*~Les Problematique~*~ ship through, but also not really? The writing obviously knows that Dominura is a broken person, latching on to the first person who showed an ounce of unconditional affection. It's an unhealthy state of affairs, for sure, but "Dominura devotes herself to making Rimone's dreams come true instead of trying to further manipulate the local situation politically or militarily" is far from the actual problem with age gap ships. I'll talk more in future posts as more of their story unfolds. At any rate, the show is definitely indicting Kyoukoku for driving these two together in the first place. By miring itself in arrogant war, the government exploited Dominura to where she's 18 and never known an honest relationship, and then made Rimone an actual child soldier, and then forced Chor Tempest into increasingly dangerous situations where they had only their Pairs to rely on, in ships where intimacy grants power. "In a situation where everything is inescapable trauma, you can still find honest connections with people, even if those relationships are fraught with blurry lines." Shinji strangles Asuka upon the post-apocalypse beach, and that nightmare of a hedgehog dilemma is still preferable to the lie of perfect orange tang. Dominura and Rimone aren't ideal, but in the environment they're trapped in, they don't have the luxury of waiting for something better. Denying herself in service of the greater situation is what broke Dominura in the first place, and what would inevitably await Rimone in the long run (would she have to hack the enemy's hands off herself next time?). So they forge forward to seize their freedom together. Whoops I accidentally a detour. Anyways, that was just episode 18! :D 17, the Ruins episode, has a whole lot of world-building implications I think I'll talk about in a separate post. 19 and 20, of course, is all about Mamiina. Honestly, I don't have much to talk about it, as it speaks for itself. There are still more world-building implications, though, which we've touched on with our Yun discussions.

Finished Simoun, the anime is fucking perfect, like, i am angry with myself for never watching before, this anime is from 2006, i knew that shit existed and never watched.
Well, i will not post prints in this post because the quality of the video was really bad, it was what i could find, but still really bad, i'm not gonna post that, but i really loved this anime, like, is one of the best yuri (it does have some problems, and it is called Dominura and Limone relationship, Limone should be older than she is, like, a lot).
Aeru and Neviril, the two non-binary lesbians of this anime, they are perfect, their relationship is perfect, everything about them is perfect. In Simoun world, everyone is born with a female body and without any gender, when you have 17, you are forced to choose a gender and after that, your body will change accordingly to your chosen gender, unless you are a Simoun Sibylla, a priestess that never choose a gender of their own. So all simoun Sibylla are non-binary. Because Aeru's nation is a theocracy and the Simoun could be used as a weapon, the priestess Sibyllas was chosen to go to war.
Aeru is a really funny thing, they choose to go to war because they didn't want to choose any gender, ever, and there is another motive that is shown during the anime. Neviril already was a Sibylla, and was fine about the part of never making the choice, so both non-binary lesbians (if i was born in this world i would 100% choose to be a woman, the biology in Simoun world seems like paradise for me).
Kinda everyone is transgender in this anime? yeah, you can read everyone as trans in this anime, making the choice, refusing to make it, both you can read as trans in a certain point of view.
The story is really good. Is a war story, full of tragedy, sadness, it does have romance, and flying war machines that break the space and time. Aeru and Neviril stay together and both will be together forever, until the end of time and probably beyond that, motive? major spoilers, but they stay together forever and is the most perfect ending i could wish for both, they deserved it.
Well, this anime is a solid 10/10 for me, excluding the whole Limone part (i had to turn off my brain to ignore how fucking young Limone was in the most part of the anime) i have no complain about it.

@cocajimmycola‘s icon challenge day 8: pink character! for these, i chose utena tenjou from revolutionary girl utena, with a solarian gyneurnimasculine headcanon for her, neviril from simoun with a madchen lesbian headcanon (fun fact: i coined the madchen gender SPECIFICALLY after the concept of the sybillae gender in simoun), and clover field from 999 with an agender, transfeminine dulcigender headcanon for her! hope you enjoy

okay wtf is with the random sa/dubcon shit in this anime lol. i'm p sure it's just for fanservice, but it's still p concerning. like i totally forgot mamiina tries to seduce neviril while she's in the shower, neviril more or less says no in a serious tone, and just as mamiina is about to join her, aaeru climbs into neviril's room from a rope and neviril's demeanor completely changes and laughs at her??? like what, huh, what????
