So I finished that Utena/Anthy fic. Which was the last fic I started. The last fic I started was the first fic I finished. Shut up, okay.

I was ridiculously torn on what to do with the glasses. Have her take them off? If her hair is down, she has to take them off. But does that fit thematically? Maybe I just shouldn't mention them at all? She didn't wear any in the movie, after all. Something this small can cause me hours and hours of agonizing, people.

This fic. I have no explanation for this thing. What was that quote from Nanae Chrono in the Vassalord vol 1 omake? I think it was, "As you can see, I do whatever I want." Yeah. That.

God, this header is ugly.


Title: {end of the}
Fandom: Revolutionary Girl Utena (TV)/Adolescence of Utena (movie)
Pairing: Utena/Anthy
Rating: I have no idea how to rate this. PG-13-ish?
Wordcount: ~1050
Warnings: (skip) Same as for the series/movie - implications of incest/abuse, underage sexuality, etc.
Prompt/summary: Utena and Anthy. Akio's car. An empty space that shouldn't be. For the "vehicular" kink_bingo square. Combines elements and characterization from the TV series and the movie and probably makes less sense than either.

>> The rows of streetlamps flicker, on-off, on-off, illuminating the nothing within.

So I am late to the party squeeing about this, because despite hoping up and down in my chair at the news I was too busy agonizing over Anthy's glasses to post about it. (I wish I was kidding.) But. You guys.



OMG YOU GUYS. FEMALE AVATAR. BAMF FEMALE AVATAR. Look at her back! That BAMF stance! Those muscles! Those hips! SWOON. Could she have been designed more for me, seriously. Seriously.

And check out this interview with Mike and Bryan.

Some choice excerpts (emphasis mine):

Michael DiMartino: [...] And we have so many great female fans out there, who really responded to Katara in the first series, we thought we have the fan base who are really going to enjoy seeing the Avatar be a female.

Konietzko: Mike and I, we love those characters too, and we’ve encountered countless fans who are male who really like those characters too. We just don’t subscribe to the conventional wisdom that you can’t have an action series led by a female character. It’s kinda nonsense to us.

Can I just... marry you guys? Please?

Also I swear I saw something somewhere where they were saying that Nickelodeon wanted them to tone down the awesome ladies, and they were like, no bitch, but maybe I dreamed that? Because I can't find it now.

If Tenzin is Aang’s son, who is his mother?

DiMartino: [To Konietzko] We can say that, right? [To Speakeasy] It’s Katara. It’s not a huge surprise.

looooool you guys are such trolls, ilu so much.

I also love how they flatly refused to talk about The Last Airbender movie. Generally you'd expect them to hype up a major feature film which could boost their own earnings, but no, they make it clear they don't want anything to do with that piece of shit. Haha.

So yeah, anyway, SO EXCITED YOU GUYS. BAMF LADYBENDER AVATAR. SO. EXCITED.
