#touga voice this is crazy but im having feelings again. like some kind of six year old.

[calypsolemon]

apologies to the rgu girlies who follow me for always having tougabrain BUT. thinking so hard about touga genuinely trying to be sincere with utena in episode 36 but still being a miserable failboy at it bc he doesn't actually know how to. care for anybody genuinely and express that in a way that doesn't read as performative and pushy still.

and then also thinking about how despite what he said to her at his most genuine, he still feels the need to use his own feelings against her in a weird bid to "protect" her. like my guy,,, have you tried communicating plainly to her the danger that she is in and then allowing her to act on that information as an autonomous human being? a uGH
