Shinji Ikari in RGU: Very conflicted. Pretty likely to treat Anthy like Rei and wanting to protect her just like Utena does, but by projecting his mom on her, so closer to Miki. However since he's a boy, Akio wouldn't manipulate him as he does Utena, but as he does Touga and Saionji. His self-esteem issues would make him the perfect target, as the affirmation of the patriarchy also offers a path to accepting "It's ok for me to be here". Unlikely to break the cycle and save Anthy, most likely to end up as just another abusive Duelist (and not a particularly good one).

Utena in NGE: Although she has no connection to the EVA's soul she can still pilot it intuitively thanks to her basketball skills

My fellow bird nerds will understand the breathless excitement I felt to turn a corner in the wetlands and witness this quiet scene! The secretive King Rail is a bird I’ve rarely been able to photograph, let alone film. How cool that my first chance to catch one on video was such a gorgeous and relaxed bird.

one thing i've always really loved abt utena's aesthetic (and this is especially true about the movie) is classic shoujo being broken up by the mechanical and industrial and mundane... the way the sparkles and flowers and swords are juxtaposed with road signs and elevators and telephones.... gothic architecture and therapist waiting rooms. a locket with a picture of your unrequited love has the same emotional weight as a kitschy coffee mug

I have such a strong image in my mind of like classic mmo cluster of players but everyone is birds and all sunning themselves on like a big expanse of rock waiting for it to heat up enough and then all riding the thermals into the sky to go do their mmo activities or whatever. but unfortunately I will never make this because I know I would despise the process of trying to make a game and havent considered it seriously since I was a child and determined to learn how to make a better wolfquest since I thought the existing one was embarrassingly lacking in detail and mechanics.

something missing from games where you can fly that i really want is like.... dynamic wind currents and thermals. I think most games lean more towards having a static indicator of wind that operates as a little boost but I desperately want something that changes over time and with the weather. you could have to contend with that variation nearer to the ground and then could travel longer distances using high altitude winds like real migratory birds. I think my dream is some sort of large scale bird mmo where we all take off in huge flocks and follow the wind together but game developers keep not designing their games for me alone for some reason.

the chimney swift is a medium-sized member of the swift family primarily found in the southeastern united states + northern south america. at one point, these birds used hollow trees to nest; today, they are almost entirely found using man-made structures, primarily chimneys, which is how they get their name. like other swifts, they are unable to perch, but can vertically cling to surfaces. if groups of chimney swifts are disturbed, they may loudly clap their wings in an attempt to scare off predators. these birds live much of their lives in the air, and only feed on insects and arthropods caught in flight.

This came dangerously close to being a good bird photo. Glad this Brewer's Blackbird made the executive decision to take off right when I took the picture.

Cassowary family 🐦Dino Bird (2017)

This cassowary is now a proud father. He cares for all three chicks equally, even if they may not all be his. They are only three weeks old and Dad keeps them close.
