something i worry about only once or twice a year is not being smart enough to understand every nuance within the books and movies and video games i interact with. obviously there isn’t such thing as a wrong interpretation but there is such thing as misinterpreting something and being able to convey your interpretation without coming across as “wrong” is something that is definitely easier said than done. i don’t think i could even begin to explain what i took away from revolutionary girl utena, i started rewatching it a good while ago and while i never finished the rewatch, it dawned on me how weirdly insecure i got whenever i saw analyses or interpretations that went so far deep into every aspect of the show, it is incredibly symbolic, everything can be analysed and while for the most part i was able to pick up on the most obvious symbolism there were certain things that just weren’t very clear to me in a frustratingly unproductive way. i never want to fall into reading or watching things that are popular for the sake of being able to piggy pack off of peoples opinions but at the same time, seeking out difficult, tough, niche stories that i’d only ever read or watch so i could tell people that i’ve read or watched, yet gained absolutely nothing from seems like a waste. there are such good stories out there that deserve to be interacted with and picked apart. i don’t think i have the capabilities to tackle them all unfortunately.
