i think one of the most interesting ways to look at the differences between the series and the movie, is that the first is mostly from utena's and/or akio's perspective, while the latter is mostly from anthy's. and i like how this explains the drastic change in akio's character between the two. in the show he is more charismatic, more powerful, has a larger role in the story, because this is how he presents himself both to us as the audience and to utena. but anthy knows him and how pathetic he really is, and so when we see him in her narrative instead of his own, it becomes incredibly obvious. he can't drive his car, he doesn't have any real control over all the things he pretends to, he panics and kills himself the moment there's even the threat of consequences for what he does. it works doubly well if you read the movie as a sequel, because that's when anthy has truly lost all faith in him and the idea of the prince. he's dead the entire time because he's dead to her.

Which disney or any other animated princess do you believe is similar to starstruck?
i'm not the most well versed in animated princesses so i'd be happy to take other suggestions on this front, but when enchanted (2007) came out, every single goddamn person i knew (including some of my university professors) took the time to tell me that an animated movie had been made starring Me 😂
so i guess giselle, because starstruck is still a sona and shares a huge number of my core traits! i haven't seen the sequel or heard much about it, though, so i'm not sure how well it still holds up!

I’m a bit of a goofball at work and there’s this girl who’s 10 years younger than me (biologically) but 20 years older (mentally) who sucks the joy out every minute of every day by rolling her eyes every time someone says something and being apparently convinced she’s the smartest person in the room (spoiler alert : she isn’t - she just went to a posh university, a prépa, the French will get it - so she thinks she’s extremely intelligent because she read Proust).
Obviously the job sucks, everyone is below her, especially management, and she would be sooooo much better at any other company.
She’s been there for 4 year like it’s really a mysterious mystery why other agencies aren’t actively chasing her like 🤭

When somebody only uses my chosen name while putting me down, it kind of makes me wish I didn't have a name at all.
And when somebody only uses my pronouns when they try to coerce me into something, then switch back to they/them when talking about me to anybody else, it kind of makes me uncomfortable af.
I sincerely do not enjoy being labeled or referred to. Being referred to is such a negative experience for me irl.
Yet not giving people a set of name/pronouns when they ask automatically seems to make them think you're secretly a serial killer trying to cover up something?????? Or like you're untrustworthy and must be hiding because you're a Bad Person instead of just not wanting to label yourself.
Can I just please not be forced to label myself for everybody else's comfort?
I feel like that information is so personally intimate anyways like unless you know me and we're close, why do you even care? I don't think it's necessary for the first stages of getting to know somebody even though in this culture we've normalized it to be that way.
Plus if I don't give you a name then I have the opportunity to earn one. Give me a name that you think I deserve and let it be what you honor me by instead! How about that? It's probably the only way I'll be comfortably perceived since some people will change my labels as they see fit regardless. Just call me what you like, I feel like my name/pronouns have been corrupted as is
