(anthytouga voice) why would i be compassionate to nanami ew disgusting nanami’s literally the worst nanami is a cockroach i hope she dies she’s so fucking stupid oh my god being compassionate to nanami is the worsttttttt so what if the worst things ever happen to her and it’s my fault that’s just lifeohhhhhhhhhhh oh? utena is experiencing the worst things ever and i helped? and i helped? oh well i should just kill myself. oh well i should just kill myself and save her because actually utena is Good. and stupid. but Good. unlike nanami lol nanami was born cursed to suffer haha nanami’s got that karmic punishment coming lollllll But Utena Does Not <3

#i find this ‘discrepancy’ (for want of a better word) FASCINATING #bc it’s not like anthy and touga don’t both identify with utena at times #in a manner VERY similar to their identification with nanami (‘you don’t know what i know but you feel and experience the same things’)#but with nanami. die kill maim vibes. and with utena. look at that poor kicked (noble) puppy vibes #something about utena being brought into something so obviously #when nanami has always been here. crab bucket moment idk #nanami in 32 vs utena in 39…. i think the thoughts #like why would nanami extend a hand to anthy. she wouldn’t #what’s crazy to me is she TRIES to do that w touga bc of course she does #but she realises he’s not gonna do that. and her wanting him to doesn’t outweigh her wanting to live anymore #utena reaches out to anthy bc she wants to #it’s like. nanami’s rejection of the system and in turn anthy and touga’s worldviews is that cold hard realisation one needs #perhaps more obviously touga but it impacts anthy all the same — next episode is 33!!!! hello!!!!!!!#but they still feel more or less powerless. just cogs in a machine it’s just that now they’re more aware of their own pain and others’#and touga gets left behind in this bc he’s ruined his meaningful connections with like Everyone Ever #but utena reaches out to anthy as i said before. and utena says ‘i care about you’ and it’s not for herself as much as it is for anthy #ohhhhhh i am just. i am Just #dais.txt
