i started watching princess tutu and im literally obsessed with the line “may those who accept their fate be granted happiness, may those who defy their fate be granted glory.” like.. i have literally been thinking about it all day

#also you can really see where the show takes influence from utena which i think is cool #bc there are some aspects of it i feel like... sarazanmai may have taken influence from?#which is cool bc thats also an ikuhara work so its like wow full circle #but idk if the latter is true because its not uncommon fairly tale tropes so could be a coincidence #obviously for princess tutu tho its more clearly based on fairy tales like it takes heavily from swan lake and the ugly duckling #and also referenced a bunch of other ones so far like cinderella and sleeping beauty #i think ahiru's friends may be sort of step-sister characters #theyre not EVIL by any means but they belittle her and while they do it in a friendly joking way it still has the same effect of #''oh youre just ahiru you will never do anything'' etc etc its patronizing #anyway yeah im really liking the show so far dont let the name fool you its really good #i looove this huge meta storyline it has going #go ducky go
