Whoever invented "open in app" links that redirect you to the app store instead of actually opening the app even when you already have the app installed on your phone should be involuntarily turned into a beanbag chair

people tend to talk more about the doll iroh gives azula as a spoil of war that directly illustrates iroh’s attitude of colonial paternalism, but there’s something so fascinating to me about how iroh gives zuko a knife that says “made in earth kingdom” on one side and “never give up without a fight” on the other, reducing a call to action, direct resistance through any means necessary, into an abstract, inspirational quote. a weapon that symbolizes the strength of a nation of resist imperialist conquest/colonial occupation is put in the hands of a ten year old who has no way of truly understanding the implications of that slogan. of course, zuko eventually does come to understand, and he does refuse to give up without a fight, as does iroh, but at the time that iroh gives zuko the knife, he is perverting that symbol of revolutionary action & resistance into a colonial artifact, a mere child’s plaything, its blade dulled and its power denied through the act of gifting it to the sheltered prince of the nation against whom they are fighting. yes, zuko has his own fight, and must face his own struggles, and he is largely defined by his persistence, so it’s easy to forget what this knife means within its original cultural context: “made in earth kingdom” isn’t just a dismissive joke, it’s also a grave reminder of who iroh was, what his “gifts” represent, and where they came from.

not a fan of when people claim that akio and anthy don't "really" love each other. like idk man have you considered that love and abuse are not mutually exclusive polar opposites and that this may be a pretty significant part of the show's themes. you can abuse someone because you love them, and you can love someone despite their abuse. this in fact happens often. would be nice if it was as simple as "bad people don't feel love because love is inherently good" like some people make it out to be but it's not

#reblogs thing that directly contradicts one of my last reblogs #because one thing this show is good at is making you believe two contracting things simultaneously #anthy himemiya #akio ohtori #revolutionary girl utena #utena analysis

nanami wants to protect touga from girls who only want him for status and attention, but that protective streak combined with her naïvety about his actual trauma and situation with their father and akio leads him to resent her for even trying. likewise, touga wants to protect nanami from the abuse and trauma he suffered, but his protective streak combined with his warped perspective of how things should be leads her to be suffocated and hurt by how he controls and manipulates her. they both love and hurt each other so, so much, and its easy to see how a relationship like theirs could become warped and damaged enough that only the hurt and the memory of love remains, becoming a relationship like anthy and akio, who no longer truly love each other but are trapped in the habit of protecting one another, even though that protection itself is what is slowly killing their relationship. the key to escaping this cycle for the kiryuus is communication and clarity; they are still at a point where they deeply love each other despite the tension, and if they understood one another better they would have a chance at fixing their relationship. for anthy and akio, the actual love is long gone; separation is the only remaining option for either of them to heal
