“Poison of Salvation”

a dead ideal

i felt like i had to make this meme with the rgu cast.

why is nanamis hair so big. what is she hiding in there

Well the giving roses to Juri was not nice gestures but a way to manipulate Juri so she would remember and resurface all the pent up anger she has against Shiori.

"Belive in miracles and they will know your feelings." Juri thinks that's just a load of bullshit. But that one rose Anthy gives her reminds her so strongly of the time she's been betrayed and on top of that Utena has to do something. 

Naive uninformed Utena who reminds Juri of the way Shiori once was. It all drives her crazy until she can't find any other solution but to duel. I will not clarify what Juri duels.

My point with all this is that Anthy is the catalyst always have that in mind when watching this show. 

All those little moments.

All those little joys Anthy took in life.

Humming to herself by the sink.  Playing the piano to calm her nerves.  Watching the metronome bounce back and forth for no reason.  Randomly offering a flower to Juri because Juri was there.  That cute little hand dance she did in episode 7.  All the choices she made about what to say, about how to say it, about who to talk to.  The lunch she shared with Wakaba and Utena for no reason.

They can’t all have been forced on her by Utena’s influce.

They can’t all be fake.

Can they?

a cosplay photo so old it was taken on actual film (which explains the streaks from my scanner) and the con we were at doesn’t even exist anymore. it was around 13 years ago actually now that I think about it.
