Shout-out to Revolutionary Girl Utena for continuing to be something that can still completely derail me from everything I'm doing if I think about it for more than five seconds
#tonight I spent 40(?) minutes checked out because of akio. the paradox of being a symbol of both illusion and harsh reality#one of the greatest villains in anime... the way he's so sinister and his actions feel so violent without Violence until the very end#and even then it's still the emotional violence and not physical force that carries him#there's a way that he just. generally lacks force. subtly coercive. he breaks people down but it's not about fostering pain or fear#but shaping a view of reality that limits their ability to determine their fates. like a force of gravity#loathsome character. horrifying in extraordinary ways. and so symbolically potent in the anime and the film.#this is probably a sign that it's time to rewatch rgu again.#rambling
