Speaking of Halloween costumes - I suddenly remembered I have a very unused piece of trivia about Mayu which is she used to be really into magical girl stuff as a kid, but is definitely too embarrassed to admit that around all the boys at NRC

But since she has no magic, I need to bring back one of my favourite images of all time:

It says "I, Sakura, will show you today what a magical girl (really) is" and you know what. Since all the boys get magic it's only fair the girls get hammers 😤🔨✨

“Because there is no love without suffering. And the stronger the love, the deeper the suffering.”

[ID: A collection of excerpts followed by a gif from Revolutionary Girl Utena.

Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it." (Mary Shelley, Frankenstein: The 1818 Text)

"In any case, what is suffering? I am not afraid of it, even though it be numberless. Now I am not afraid, though before I was. . . . And it seems to me that there is so much of this strength in me now that I shall vanquish everything, all of the suffering, only so that I may keep saying to myself constantly: 'I am!' I may endure a thousand torments - yet I am, I may writhe under torture - but I am! I may sit in a tower, but I exist, I can see the sun, but even if I cannot see the sun, I know that it exists. And to know that the sun is there - that is already the whole of life. (Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov)

See, I have vanished, yet I still sing. See, I have vanished, yet I still laugh. See, I have vanished, yet I am petrified. See, I have vanished, yet I still live. I exist, I am here. I exist, I am here. I exist! (J. A. Seazer & Tokyo Konsei Gasshodan, Missing Link)

Anthy, crying, reaches out from within her coffin to a battered Utena, and their hands touch. End ID]
