Robbie & Nine: Everyone is always like: How'd you guys bag a baddie? How'd you bag that baddie bro?

Robbie & Nine: We didn't bag shit. Cartena/Melissa picked us up by our necks, threw us over their shoulders, and we've been up there ever since. And we don't have any plans of getting off anytime soon.

Beware of The Villainess Special April 1 Illustration

Melissa, Yuri, and Yona are members of an idol group called "The Villainess" 🥹

ofc, Nine is Melissa's number one fan (although, he has been attracting unwanted attention due to his visuals 😅). She also has some suspicious female fans 😆 Her fans call her "Miss Melissa" and "Cheerful, Cool, Funny, Miss Melissa." Melissa showed overwhelming physical strength during the "Idol Star Athletics Championship" but because Yuri's knee got scratched in one event, she got into a fight with the show's producer.

Yuri has the title of "The Villainess' Top Popularity Meme" and is known for her beautiful looks and overwhelming popularity. She's a member of Melissa's solo fandom called the "Melissa Love Committee" 🤣 There are 4 annoying stalkers (Yuri's og suitors 🤧) following her, that's why two of her older brothers are acting as her personal security.

Yona didn't want to be an idol but after hearing the prize money of the survival show, she participated and won first place 🤣 (typical Yona) because of her unshakeable rap style 🤣 Afterwards, she debuted with "The Villainess" after realizing that idols make huge money 🤧🤧🤧 There was a controversy that she assaulted a male fan following Melissa (lol) but it was resolved after finding out he was actually Yuri's brother 😆 (and he was actually Yona's fan)

Positions: Melissa (leader, main dancer), Yuri (main vocalist), Yona (main rapper)

Bonus: Cartena is their manager 😆 because of her looks, fans are attracted to her and would often ask for her name in the message board. But she replied to them saying she already has a lover and attached his photo on the post (lol)~

tbh, this could be a whole new AU or side story 😆 Blue Canna-nim, we want to hear more about this 😆🙏

i’m trying to start watching revolutionary girl utena and i found those anthy gifs and CAN I HAVE CONTEXT FOR WHERE SHE JUST. FUCKIN. DISAPPEARS??? AND HER UNIFORM FALLS????

i know a lot of weird shit happens in utena (cartena?? nanami?????????) but man it gets weirder every time i see things relating to it

Okay so for the bit where she disappears, it takes place during Utena going up the stairs/the Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku scene. Anthy uses the power of Dios to disappear and shed her uniform to change into the Rose Brides dress, and so she can help Utena transform into her little duelist uniform with the white accents/things on her shoulders.

There’s also a scene that happen after that where roses bloom out of her uniform which I CANNOT explain I’m sorry 😭😭😭

and tbh Nanami isn’t that hard to understand! The Nanami egg episode is about Nanami going on her period and being confused as hell about it. Also she isn’t in love with Touga, she’s just deprived of love and has a really hard admiration for him. I reccomend watching the video Noralities made on her as it’s a really good look into her character

I’m like 6 episodes to finishing Utena and I have yet to wrap my head around certain things so sorry if this is a bad explanation 😭😭😭

anyone else notice in the utena movie cartenas keyhole is like. a Significantly more yonic rose...

more utena analysis

the roses anthy upkeeps, her beliefs in the prince... its the key, utena shares her vulnerability, the roses she upkeeps, her fragile form (but ego, its a slick ass car despite its fragility... its also fast, and anthy in it is intimate because of the size of the cockpit vs jeekaba being pretty large and accommodating...) and anthy is able to share her burdens as well, notably she tries to snatch the ring away from utena in the beginning, tries to tell her its her burden, she shouldnt get involved, i am the one who keeps the roses, feeling so isolated and alone she doesnt remember everyone has their roses they have to upkeep in ohtori, when beholden to anthys delusional, battered, and then manipulated belief in the prince. but she handles utenas vulnerabilities, which are so similar to her own, and allows utena to be her vehicle to leave, empowering her to use eko and fkos guidance, empowering her to call for help and accept it from wakaba juri miki and saionji, knowing now they suffer from their own false beliefs and want to break free but dont know how.

the series is utena coming to befriend and thereby empower anthy to stop pouring her magic into believing akio will ever become dios again, leaving ohtori as she knew it and revolutionizing the world.

the movie is about anthy accepting help from others, exercising the cosmic agency she is empowered with when the idea of the past returning is completely dead in her consciousness. however, its hard to fully let go of the prince. despite being dead, and despite anthy not pouring as much magic into maintaining ohtori itself, she still tends to her roses, she still sees dios in utena, shes still receptive to utena performing the role anthy is so familiar with and longs for the pure love of hopelessly, and she knows utena is noble and pure... she cant help but compare her to dios, even if shes abandoned the idea of dios returning, and doesnt find herself as beholden to the structures that kept her subservient (she comes to utenas aid despite not being her bride! shes extremely superficially intimate with her, but still falls back on the rose to explain her behavior) she still longs for when she was truly loved, and she now knows utena loves her like that, due to how she forgave anthy and still reached out to connect to her in the series, so now that shes empowered to let herself truly strip emotionally, to be vulnerable for utena, to give her burdens to her.... its just So Good.

i do like the series more just bc it has so much like. More. in general... and also i like the character art and animation itself better, but the movie is NECESSARY viewing! it is the conclusion to utena when its as read as an abuse allegory (both on the micro and macro levels), an allegory for being robbed of your agency in ways that are unjust, an allegory for the cyclical gaslighting of those with suppressed will to power into believing they should meet all perceived expectation, and take punishment for not doing so.

i think the exploration of being socially empowered to abandon the guilt and expecation is so so good, and i think the exploration of how hard it is to fully let go of the idealized image of the system that held you captive, but the ride out is easier when you ask for help is the perfect wrap to that.

its a lot easier to get out of a prison in a vehicle than on foot lol

[thegradus2]

If you feel comfortable sharing, could you list the >10 obscure isekais you are currently obsessed with?

Yes of course!! With explanations and all!!!!! (Note: i am treating a series as “obscure” when i have 0 friends to talk abt any of them wiht :,) some of these are probably actually populair and im just not aware lol)

1. Lout of the counts family

I want og cale henituse biblically spiritually. i decided i want to get top surgery bc of this series. I am mentally unwell over this man. I would love this man if he was a worm. Literally changed every single pfp i have on anything to this man. I HAVE BEEN RANTING ABOUT THIS MAN FOR A MONTH NOW. MY FRIENDS ARE MAKING FUN OF ME ITS THAT BAD

2. Villains are destined to die

Love my girl penelope! I think her paranoia and the way she interacts with some charas is a little frustrating sometimes but i understand it at the same time, her situation is so scary and she doesnt know everything thats going on 🙏 i wanna go clubbing with her and let her have a moment to just have fun without any worries!!!!! I also like iklies i genuinely think hes just a mentally unstable 17 y old, a very therapy heavy 3 month plan could help him a lot

3. Mobuseka

Classic trash isekai anime but with the twist of it being very funny so i love this series anyway!!!!! Like this guy isnt winning by being kind hes just actively cheating his way through life, beating up nobles with shovels and just being a giant dick. I love this guy 10/10

4. The one with the vending machine

This one isnt obscure at all but i still wanna mention the anime where the guy is so obsessed with vending machines that he dies saving a vending machine from falling off a cliff. And then he wakes up in a fantasy world as a vending machine.

5. I’ve become the heroes rival

THIS SERIES HAD ME ACTUALLY LIKING A STRAIGHT COUPLE. LIKE OF COURSE I WOULDVE PREFERRED THE LESBIANS BUT MAN. THE STRAIGHT COUPLE WAS PRETTY ROMANTIC NGL.

6. I favor the villainess

AGAIN NOT VERY OBSCURE SINCE ITS GETTING ANIMATED BUT THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I WISH EVERY OTHER ISEKAI MANGA/ANIME OUT THERE WAS I LOVE THEM I LOVE HOMOSEXUALITY

7. The way to protect the female leads older brother

This one is pretty dark compared to the rest on this list but roxana is SO smart and her and her mans are so ❤️❤️❤️ together i hope neither of them dies :,)

8. Beware of the villainess

I LOVE MELISSA NINE AND YURI SO MUCH!!! CARTENA AND BOBBY ARE SO ADORABLE TOGETHER!!! I LOVE HOW MELISSA DOESNT GIVE IN WITH ANY OF THE TERRIBLE MEN AND SHE IS SUCH A GIRLS GIRL!!!!!! MELISSA YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL

9. Omniscient readers viewpoint

Again. Not that obscure since its getting a series. And i havent even read it completely yet. But 1 friend of mine told me about it and now my tiktok page is getting bombarded with orv angst and im 💀💀💀 literally crying at every fucking stupid slideshow. HOW IS ONE SERIES THIS SAD. MAN.

10. The empress’ lipstick

Ngl i dropped this after she panicked about finding the lipstick bc i could not handle the stress. Somehow i can handle roxanas crazy plots but i couldnt handle this??? IN ANY CASE its still a really funny manhwa and i think the main character is hilarious while also giving some insight about beauty standards somehow???

Another series’ ive been enjoying is “royal marriage”, its not an isekai but it follows a really smart woman maneuvering through noble life and getting rid of trash and standing up for herself so its the same vibe as some of them villainess isekais :P

[sadlysimple]

She could kick me in the throat and I’d thank her

The fact that Melissa knows she’s bad at getting the hint when someone is into her means that Nine isn’t the first victim and Cartena isn’t the first to spell it out for her

Robbie and Cartena, please get a room 😤😤
