the girl who is trapped in my computer and phone should be trapped in my arms and bed instead

a girl at the club spiked my drink with jasmine and a wave of tranquility washed over me

when it really started hitting she watched me gracefully compose myself and then pulled me off into a corner to touch on my thoughts and probe the depths of my insight

anthy's feelings for utena are very complicated, but complicated does not mean that they aren't still ultimately positive. "she pretends to like her but actually carries a deep secret resenment" is only really the second layer of what is going on with anthy and you can't stop there. you can't simply look at the betrayals and the "don't you know how much i've always despised you" line from that one episode preview and ignore everything else. there is resentment, yes, but there is also guilt and hope. there is anthy trying to distance herself to avoid feeling those things. there is love, and there is fear. there is the surprise we see anthy feel again and again over how much she cares for utena (imagining her sitting at the table when they're seperated after she loses the duel to touga, the way anthy looks at her in the scene in the sunlit garden and tries to hide her feelings from akio afterward, all of their bedtime conversations in the third arc, etc.)

to attempt to frame anthy's choice to stab utena as logical and thought through on her part, and as something justified based on utena's actions and treatment of her, is to ignore the role anthy herself plays in all of this. utena's lack of awareness of how anthy is being abused in part because anthy, in cooperation with akio, is actively hiding it from her. utena starts out asking a lot of questions about the situation but is from the very beginning discouraged from this by anthy until she gives up, because anthy does not want her to know. utena idolizes akio because she is being groomed by him, something anthy is not only very aware of, but helping him do. resenting utena for these things is not rational, and anthy knows that (but she sometimes does it anyway because it's easier to try to feel that than the guilt.) they're both kids stuck in an impossible situation, and they both obviously make mistakes. they hate themselves and occasionally each other, but they love and forgive each other anyway. this is what the entire rooftop scene is about. anthy would not be attempting to kill herself if she believed utena deserved any of what has happened to her. she would not be sobbing and begging for utena to leave before the final duel if she wanted to stab her in the back.

this is not the face of someone who is about to act rationally, or in a way she thinks is the "right" choice, even for herself.

anthy stabs utena because she's scared. she's seeing her life as she knows it about to fall apart before her eyes (literally symbolized by the castle crumbling), and however bad it might be now, it terrifies her that it might change. utena is most likely going to kill akio, and anthy cannot let it happen - not because she doesn't love utena, not because she can't trust her, not because she thinks utena's declaration that she's "going to be a prince" means she's going to be just like akio - but because anthy loves her brother too. she can't imagine what her life would be like without him. she has already sacrificed everything for him once, how could she leave him now? another important part, i think, is that she doesn't believe she deserves that better life. stabbing utena seals the deal - she prevents herself from having it by killing the person offering it. she wants utena to give up on her, to hate her as much as she hates herself, because it would make everything so much easier. she's used to playing the villain. this is not something she does because she truly believes it is on any level a justifiable decision, and it's certainly not something she does to get back at utena or teach her a lesson.

just thinking a lot lately about that tiktok series of a guy asking strangers 'do you think this person is gay or straight' and its this whole chain of people being like oh im obviously straight everyone can tell and then getting called gay when their picture is shown to other strangers. overall pretty funny series exposing how fake and fragile it all is. but very notably the videos with all men are just calling each other gay but the ones with all women are completely unpromptedly calling the strangers in the photo trans.

the question of "do you think they're gay or straight" is being interpreted not as "can you guess this person's sexuality from their appearance" but "what kind of deviant do you think this person is" and trans men just do not occupy the societal headspace as a potential deviant to watch out for the way trans women do. fail to live up to the standard of cishet man and you're still a man you're just gay. fail to live up to the standard of cishet woman and you're not even a woman

wow it's soooo wacky and zany that a man is professionally benefiting from misogyny by being a man, including preferential treatment by other men such as his boss at work, that's just so unusual, what a crazy twist, so wholesome chungus allyship that a man treats another man better than women
