(ID under cut)
[ID: A bust portrait of Captain James T. Kirk from Star Trek: The Original Series. He is wearing his green v-neck off duty shirt and is tilting his head slightly to the left and up, smiling. He is haloed by a dark blue and purple swathe of space, dotted with stars.
The piece has been made to look like an old comic. The background looks like aged paper and the colours are rendered with tiny dots. The yellow and cyan layers of colour have been moved slightly so they don't match up with the lineart exactly.
The artist has signed it "aerialworms". /End ID]

the thing about rgu episodes 35&6 is its just like...... everything is veering towards a car crash but more than usual. and everyone is more aware of how car-crashy things are going to get than usual, but its like. no one is like ‘hey what if we didn’t get into a car crash though’, or if they are, they’re expressing that sentiment in the worst way possible (shoutout anthy and touga). you have so many tiny and horrendously fucked up moments in those episodes like juri saying utena ‘looks like a girl now’ and making miki consider whether or not that’s a ‘good’ thing, or utena falling asleep at the table with her earrings as anthy just Watches, or the scene where touga holds a carrot in various initially amusing and then promptly emotionally devastating ways as both he and the audience make a series of crushing realisations neither of us are totally comfortable accepting
its like. throughout all of this acknowledgement of ‘hm. this is bad’ everyone is filled with inaction. we are all trapped in our coffins!!! people are prosing but that’s about it. all of the student council know who end of the world is, and they don’t tell utena. im not blaming them for this because its masterful, compelling writing that serves to elevate the show and its themes, but i am pointing it out because what’s endlessly relevant in utena analysis is recognising when characters make choices that ohtori frames as a natural progression or event that is immutable. anthy and touga voice wow i cant believe at least one person has to die at the end of this duelling game, which we like have to do btw. yeah. what do you mean this is all constructed and therefore can be dismantled. oh my god im going to kill you what the fuck. i dont want to kill you. i dont know how else to get you out of this situation. guess ill try and remove you from the system, thereby proving it is a structure that can be left behind and undermining my fragile worldview ive believed to have kept me ‘safe’ all this time. why are you guys talking about coffins so much omgggggggg shut up shut up shut up

posting my turtle designs so i'll hopefully draw them consistently pt. 2
i think Leo's gotta be my most inconsistent turtle tbh. at first i drew him with both arms until i got roped into the "he loses the arm anyway" headcanon, then i gave him more scars, then i gave him more markings, not to mention the adjustment period of trying to draw the turtles in my artstyle in a way i liked. so yeah. it's been a trip.
up next ↓:
