i kind of like that utena starts to remember she had done this all for anthy, but isn’t confirmed to have remembered fully by the end. it’s a crucial element of it all that utena’s bond with Anthy was at the root of all of this but that she erased that in her mind and replaced it with a narrative focused on a man, and them reclaiming that narrative for themselves is important. you know they’ve achieved something like that by the cropped post credits photo. but in the end she loves anthy not because anthy is some grand idea from her childhood she has been seeking forever (like she sought her ‘prince’) - maybe she does not even fully remember that - but because being with the anthy she has currently come to ‘know’ by living with makes her happy and she loves that anthy as a person & not just an idea. she wants to be with anthy because she wants to have tea with her 10 years from now. so in the end it’s not because she remembers anthy from the past that spurred her on with the incredible resilience that possessed her in the finale but because she loves anthy in the current, and the anthy that she wants to get to have a chance to know in the future

All recent dysphoric crises immediately solved by the fact that this is how my 6 year old nephew conceptualizes of me lol

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

Luka Alien Stage: It's my first day at gay alien music school, I hope they don't realize I'm straight

me as a child: this "$4.99" sales stuff is idiotic, anyone can instantly round this up to $5 in their mind, no one is falling for this

me as an adult: oh wow only $4 (with some additional numbers behind it), that's great because if it was a single dollar more that would have been the last straw for me in my miserable life

there is so much intimacy in creating something together
