TFW I see other people claim to get Ruka, yet still judge him to be an awful person and accuse him of things he didn't actually do.

Sure, Ruka's kind of a jerk, but you know who's an even bigger jerk? JURI! Look at what she did to Utena! Ruka kissed Juri to get her locket. Juri acted like she was about to kiss Utena, then attacked her and tried to wrestle her rose crest away, even though Utena was yelling for her to stop. Juri isn't shown being genuinely nice to anyone till the last few episodes, after Ruka's gone. And don't even get me started on Shiori! And again, they're my three favourite characters. Yeah, they're messed up. Everyone in the show is messed up. It's a coming of age series. And the most important part of maturing is growing as a person. Not your age, not your body, but your mind. You start out a brat, you grow to be a well-rounded person. Maybe. God willing...

Must channel rage into fic...

Opinions on characters: Kiryuu Nanami, Saionji Kyouichi, Tatsuki Shiori

Thank you for the ask! Im guessing its for the ask game(the general opinion is included so yeah) Sorry i didnt answer until now😅

Kiryuu Nanami

General opinion: She is everything to me. Her mere existance confirme half of my theories about Anthy and Akio.

She is a queen. She didnt deserve this.

The reason she isnt in the movie is because she realised the truth about Ohtori in time and when things started to go back to their bad nature she was able to leave.

She is the perfect first character to find out about Akio's abuse because she lived with one of his victims, he ruined her life in-directly and was about to make her another one of his victims. Her character and story are perfect, i would change nothing about her.

(i have a big post about her, Anthy and Shadow Girls to write so stay tuned for that)

A ship i love: i cant decide if i like the idea that Nanami is aromantic or a lesbian(so probably both) and i dont have a ship with her i realy love. I like Nanami x Kozue a bit, mostly for the parrallels, but i have my own problems with Kozue(which is its own topic), so im not sure how much i actualy ship it. But then again, most of my Rgu Ships go under "after 15 years of therapy they can actualy date", so... Who know.

A non-romantic relationship i love: her friendship with Utena and Anthy and her friendship with Saionji. I wish she got a chance to apologize to Anthy once they were both in a good place and far away from their brothers. For Saionji, i hope they got to meet after he left Ohtori with Juri and Miki. If he grew as a person(which is necessery for escapong Ohtori) he would be a great big brother. Also, the egg episode realy sells me the idea he is her brother figure. "No appreciation for brotherly advice".

A NOTP: Nanami x Touga and Nanami x Akio(OBVIOUSLY). I havent seen anyone ship it and GOOD. That is a one way ticket to hell. I Also dont like Nanami x Saionji, but thats mostly personal opinion cuz i see them as siblings. Might Also be the age gap but idk.

My biggest headcanon about them: as i said, SHE LEFT THE OHTORI NOT LONG AFTER THE SERIES FINALE! She is also an animal person but is not used to them because of her family(cats trigger he trauma too). Once she and Anthy make up, BECAUSE THEY WILL, Anthy  lets her spend time with her animal friends, maybe even helps her adopt an animal of her own.

An idea for fanfiction: Nanami meeting with everyone from Ohtori after they escape, exploring their relationships once they arent under control of their abusers.

(this one is in my WIPs, i Just have to finish it) Weed bride. Anthy and Nanami smoke blunts together along with everyone else. They Also take over Ohtori. I dont wanna spoil anything.

Something that makes me think of them:

Songs "Oh no!" and "Family jewels" by Marina and the diamonds, "allies or Enemies"(about her and Touga) and "Take me to War" by crane wives. And a few more but this is on the top of my mind.

Kyouichi Saionji

General opinion: He was the perfect first antagonists for the series. He is so pathetic, no one takes him seriusly, which is a perfect foil to Akio being adored and trusted by many characters.

He most likely isn pure evil as he is still a child, but he should defenetly be taken responsible for his actions(abuse of Anthy).

A ship i love: touga x Saionji but ONLY AFTER 20, NO, 40 YEARS OF THERAPY! They both hurt each other, they should solve their problems. I wish we saw Saionji's Thoughts about Touga in the movie, but hey, we cant have everything.

A non-romantic relationship that i love: as i said, he would make a great brother to Nanami. As i doubt either of them will ever see Touga again, they could help each other with the trauma. Saionji defenetly has family problems, everyone does in Ohtori.

I also like his friendship with Wakaba, i dont ship them tbh. I feel like she can put him in his place with ease(she beat Utena up as a petty joke).

Not realy a positive relationship, but his rivalry with Utena is very intresting. He is like a trashy version of her. Their straight love intrests are each other's real crushes, but they project. This would all be solved if the world wasnt homophobic. I want them to fight, middle-school-girl style cuz Saionji would get his ass handed to him.

A NOTP: saionji x Akio (OBVIOUSLY) and Saionji x Nanami (again, its just my personal preference)

My biggest headcanon about them: he projected Touga onto Anthy. Thats what kinda stings about how he treated her. Its obvious that relationship was going nowhere, but he never even liked her for her and so it was Just cruel.

He feels as if he isnt good enough for people around him and was at some point jealous about Touga's relationship with Akio cuz it seemed like Touga was so much more mature that he was getting attention of another adult.(angsty i know, but its based on reality)

A fanfic idea: him and Nanami meeting again(as you can see, im very normal a out them)

Maybe an AU where he and Touga dont go so off the edge ti become the pricks they are in the canon and instead Run away with Nanami and live as a little family(THIS SHOW HURT ME, OKAY)

In weed bride, Anthy wrecks his shit cuz he was with Touga and she was about to end Touga so obviously he will get some too. (that fic is Just pure crack)

Tatsuki Shiori

Something that Reminds me of them: tbh i cant think of anything right now.

General opinion: gurlfailiure. I love her. Just another child in a cruel world. She only had the worst adults to look up to and so she hurt the Ones she loved the most. She has room to grow and redeemed herself, she is only a child after all.

I think her place in the movie was great because of that. (i think her role was methaphore for what happend after the series finale, Just like with everyone else)

A ship that i love: i like Juri x Shiori and kinda Shiori x Kozue(both girls are disasters) but i wouldnt say i love either of those. Again, years of therapy, then they can get bitches.

A non-romantic relationship i love: not sure

Maybe her relationship with Touga cuz i dont see it as a real romance. I like it for the narrative(its not realy healthy) and how we found out a lot about Touga trough it.

I think her relationship with Ruka was a perfect example of an older guy messing with a younger girl. Toxic and cruel.

A NOTP: Shiori x Akio (look i have to make sure its known i do not unde any circumstances support these Ships) and Shiori x Ruka(he is an abusive asshole. A mini Akio, if you will)

My biggest headcanon about them: she is queer and full of internalised homophobia. She loved Juri but she is Just another pawn in Akio's game and so she could do nothing but hurt her. I dont think they made up after the end of the movie, im not even sure Shiori escaped, so idk if they even met after.

She liked Touga less because he is a prince and more because he is like a rose bride(like her, in a way) but is not a girl so its fiiine(side eye).

A fanfic idea: i dont have any right now

Maybe exploring her movie role and/or her mindset trough a fanfic?

Something that Reminds me of them: again, not sure.

[yomigaere]

Touga x Saionji

Ship It

What made you ship it? Their complex general dynamic, basically.

What are your favorite things about the ship? Saionji's ability to see through Touga's bullshit (I particularly liked when he doubted Touga really wanted to be like Akio like he claimed, and one of the cameras fell over as if to suggest he was right on the money); the fact that a messed-up relationship like their can be mended; the parallels I can draw between this ship and Juri/Shiori.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? I guess the fact that, while I wouldn't say there's nothing mutual about the toxicity in this relationship, it's much more onesidedly toxic than some people seem to think. As much of a bastard as Saionji can be, he doesn't really do anything wrong to Touga and so doesn't deserve the treatment he gets from him.

[breadbuggenius]

For Revolutionary Girl Utena's 25th anniversary

My fingertips are holding onto The cracks in our foundation And I know that I should let go But I can't

Anime: Revolutionary Girl Utena / Shoujo Kakumei Utena  / 少女革命ウテナCharacters: Juri Arisugawa & Shiori Takatsuki (JurixShiori) Song: Foundations by Kate Nash

[princeoftheroses]

Ok here’s some Utena ships

Utena x Wakaba

Saionji X Touga

Juri x Shiori

AH HELL YEAH UTENA SHIPS

Utena Tenjou/Wakaba Shinohara

I like this one a lot as a tragic ship. It feels like throughout the show that even though Utena and Wakaba are friends, there is this... distance between them. This wall. and Utena isn't properly able to reach out to Wakaba because of it.

Wakaba herself is just... so tragic in my mind. She feels like somebody who is friends with a lot of people, but isn't quite close with any of them. And she knows that and it's crushing her.

She jokes around about being in love with Utena and her being Wakaba's prince, but underneath that she really feels that but there is still that distance there that prevents them from becoming close and that's how she gets so jealous of Anthy throughout the show.

8/10, Wakaba deserves more :( ...or maybe I am projecting onto her too much.

Kyouichi Saionji/Touga Kiryuu

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this one, which suits because I have a lot of mixed feelings about these characters. I honestly could make a whole essay about my feelings about these two characters but since this is Utena, somebody probably already has made 20 of them that I already agree with heavily.

Simply put, I really love the idea that both of these characters can get past their horrible actions and previous toxic friendship and become good people and embrace a love they have for each other that they never really were able to before because of toxic masculinity, a need to possess women, internalized homophobia, etc. ... but also the idea of them just hanging out and being happy ... makes me uncomfortable because of the stuff they have done in the past? It's like I'm not properly able to forgive them even though their actions are nowhere near as bad as somebody like Akio (I wouldn't ever forgive him tho)

I don't know if I'm making sense saying that, though?

Tl;dr 7.5/10 I think they need therapy together and also these two arts of them and UtenaxAnthy are my favorite

Juri Arisugawa/Shiori Takatsuki

Okay this one will be short compared to the others but I fucking love these two useless lesbians I love the angst that Juri is in for most of the show because of her unrequited love it's so great and dramatic and I love Juri for it. I also really love Shiori and how a lot of what she does to hurt Juri is out of admiration for Juri and insecurity in herself. I love that in the show the last shot of them together is with Shiori now a part of the fencing club??? Like instead of being insecure of how cool Juri is, she is now taking steps to make herself cool and also so she and Juri have something to relate on.

I think the fandom interpretation of Shiori tends to be she is also in love with Juri but has a lot of insecurity and internalized homophobia? I've seen it a few times and I 100% agree with it.

Either 10/10, Juri is a dumb useless lesbian and I love her for it.

[daphneblakess]

touga x saionji for ship ask

you construct intricate rituals

it’s interesting to look at them as a contrast to Juri and Shiori, because they’ve also spent so long resenting and manipulating each other under this thin veneer of friendship that I’m not sure either could cleanly let go. I think the ending of the show does imply that there’s something they could salvage if they both made an effort, but I think first Saionji would have to learn how to fend for himself and Touga would have to accept the mortifying ordeal of being known.

[hotmonkeelove]

My Top Ten Anime OTPs

(plus a bonus OT3!)

Orochimaru x Anko - Naruto

My one ship to rule them all! As far as I'm concerned, they have reconciled and are now an official couple in the Boruto timeline.

Juri x Shiori x Ruka - Revolutionary Girl Utena

They live as a tender, loving, polyamorous triad, forever inside my head and heart. It has been decided. I have spoken!

Saionji x Wakaba - Revolutionary Girl Utena

Saionji is Wakaba's true prince. She loved him despite his flaws. Why wouldn't she give him another chance after the Revolution, when he's matured into a kinder, calmer person? What, should she end up with that nice guy, Tatsuya, who also hurt her and for whom she feels no passion?

Mitsuki x Chocho - Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

They're the only reason I watched Boruto! Give me more MitsuCho!

Zabuza x Haku - Naruto

I think Haku was always secretly in love with Zabuza, whereas Zabuza forced himself not to care about anything apart from fighting and his own ambition. Even reanimated, he didn't want Haku to know he cared about him. So tragic! I want to see them reincarnated into better circumstances, where they can be together, in peace. That's why I like to imagine Iwabe and Denki are their present incarnations.

L x Misa - Death Note

This one's weird. I used to hate L's guts, yet I found him hot in a messed up/ prison fantasy sort of way. Then a few months back, I read some L x Misa fics and started to prefer him to Light. Maybe it's just AU versions of L? I still think he was pretty much as bad as Light, but at least, like Misa, he had a tragic background that drove him. Light was just an ego-maniac. And of course, I've always adored Misa!

Sebastian x Mey-Rin - Kuroshitsuji / Black Butler

My most recent otp. I had some knowledge of the series and thought Sebastian was hot. But oh, when I sat down to watch the first episode, it was nearly instantaneous! The klutzy, nervous, redheaded maid who pines for him... I want these two to get together! I need it!

Zagato x Princess Emeraude - Magic Kinght Rayearth

My second anime otp ever, from back in the 90s. Along with ZabuHaku, this one still makes me cry. It's so, so sad! And Zagato is still one of the sexiest characters in anime!

Gaara x Matsuri - Naruto

I don't know why this ship gets so much hate. (I've gathered a lot of it is from fangirls with Sue-ish OCs. Being someone who resembles and identifies strongly with Gaara, I feel no personal attraction to him. Maybe I think Matsuri is cute and sweet?) I thought they were so adorable together in the Four Celestials filler arc and have shipped them since.

Neji x Tenten - Naruto

I'm still jaded by Neji's death. So much lost potential! And it's cruel that Tenten did get to be like Tsunade, but in the worst way; they both lost their men to a war while fighting beside them.

Sailor Uranus x Sailor Neptune - Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon

My very first anime ship! Haruka and Michiru are still the yardstick by which all OTPs should be measured.

[asagao-onna]

A, B, L

Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

Obviously, I have my OTP of OroAnko. Second to them in the Naruto verse would be MitsuCho. Their combined cuteness gives me life! (I mean, seriously, their interactions are so adorable! I love them!) 

Apart from Naruto, I’m quite obsessed with Revolutionary Girl Utena. My OT3 to end all OT3s is Juri x Shiori x Ruka. (I also happen to love Juri with just Shiori or just Ruka, or Shiori with Ruka, but all three together can’t be beat!) Following them is Saionji x Wakaba. The leaf barrette scene chokes me up every time! Though really, all the different relationships and their arcs are fantastic! Such a great series! I cannot recommend watching Utena enough!

A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

I guess AnkoRin, on account of @shattered-by-sparks. She’s not currently active, but we meshed well enough to pique my interest. It’s a lesser ship to me than OroAnko, but I developed a taste for it.

Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

I think Sai is funny and certainly cute. I wouldn’t say I dislike him, rather I have never been particularly crazy about his character. He’s just kind of there a lot of the time.

Top 3 Ships:

That I’ve written: Crowley/Aziraphale (Good Omens). Well obviously. Got me back into fandom and is the hyperfixation that won't end, but I loved it back when it was called airconditioning and I used to read it on bookslash mailing lists. I used to read the book over and over looking for tiny signs they were in love and dreaming about ways they could end up together, and then the series came out and it was all languishing glances and fluttering eyes and oh, thank you. Forbidden love, should-be-enemies to friends to lovers, literally eternal love.

Bill/Clarissa (Malory Towers). Why hello I am sick all the time, introverted, socially awkward and not pretty, isn't there some wonderful butch girl who will see me crying, sweep me off and then adore me and never ever let me go anyway? (Spoiler for my life: yes.) I really wonder how many lesbians, back when we had hardly any wholesome representation, clicked when we read Fourth Form at Malory Towers--or read Last Term and thrilled when the girls were asked what they were doing when they left school because obviously whatever Bill and Clarissa were doing with their life would be as a unit. (They bought riding stables together.)

Juri/Shiori (Revolutionary Girl Utena). Oh, my fucked-up darling girls, always misunderstanding each other and hurting each other (in Shiori's case with a deep obsessive sadism that is ultimately masochistic) and hurting themselves. And really no reason thy shouldn't be happy together, except that Juri feels her Evil Lesbian Desires are corrupting Shiori and Shiori hates herself so much and... yeah, it's almost impossible to see them happy together, The Angst. I adore them. Also, like everything in Utena, a very pretty ship. And Juri, despite her long golden Rose of Versailles curls, is satisfyingly butch.

That I've read:

Garak/Bashir (Star Trek: Deep Space 9): Oh, the dark possibly evil one is soft on the sunshiny one and they flirt and bicker a lot and it's all complicated and the sunshiny one has secrets and... do I really have to explain this one? But also Garak is reptilian and that is apparently a thing for me. I adore Cardassians.

Mulder/Scully (The X-Files): They are unhealthily dependent on each other and Mulder is barely functional and they bicker and give each other long, yearning, burning glances and would do anything for each other, oh the UST.

Jeeves/Wooster (P G Wodehouse): You have all the class angst and forbidden love of master and valet, you have the fact that sweet Bertie is actually completely in the manipulative grasp of Jeeves anyway, you have Bertie living in a constant besotted state of "He made me a cup of tea and quoted some poetry, he is utterly amazing", and you have Jeeves devoting all his time to making sure Bertie never, ever marries anyone but him. Despite Bertie's constant peril of being hauled to the altar by one of the many beautiful and highly-born young women who think he is in love with them (the horror).

Last Song: T-ARA, Number Nine. (Warning for rapidly flashing lights). I miss T-ARA. No other K-pop group sounded quite like them.

Last Movie: Cats: On Christmas day. I have no regrets. Wow. That had to be experienced.

Last Read:

Manga: I'm reading my way through Ranma 1/2 from the start again, because God I love all the characters so much it hurts and it still makes me laugh my head off and I love the art. Also Ranma/Akane is the only valid option.

Novel: Nocturnal Lessons: A Gay Historical Fantasy, which is a very sex-heavy and oddly touching book about a cynical half-incubus working in a molly house and learning about the existence of True Love. I will read the rest of the series.

Non-fiction: Corrupted Science: Fraud, Ideology and Politics in Science by John Grant. Pseudoscience is an interest of mine, and I really enjoyed Grant's skeptical history of psychics and mediums, so I've moved on to miracle cures, Nazi racist "science" and climate change denial.

I'm not going to tag anyone to do this, but if you want to do this, consider yourself tagged, and let me know!

Juri x Utena...

Idk why you're asking me to break your heart publicly, Amy, but this is one I just don't think about! I like Juri, I like Utena, I like when they hang out but this ship is just not fucked up or gutwrenching enough to compete w Juri/Shiori or Utena/Anthy!
