I had gotten a question a few days ago as to how they make the mirror bride up now, besides the silver mask. Holly’s new TikTok gives us a great look!

utena-nanami parallels make me so crazy insane. girls when they build their entire identity around naively idealizing a guy from their childhood who ends up doing nothing but hurt them. all girls are like the rose bride indeed.

also:

#everyone's always talking about how nanami and touga parallel anthy and akio and they obviously do #but tbh i think they parallel utena and akio more #BUT part of what's so great about rgu is that every single character parallels every single other character in some way #and every relationship is a mirror of each other #revolutionary girl utena #parallels #utena #nanami #touga #akio #m #kiryuu siblings #akio and utena #all girls are like the rose bride

Sokka 🤝 Azula

Being dehumanized in the way that they are made into tools and servants of sorts, centering their purpose on another person and having trouble existing outside of that.

sokka 🤝 azula a lot of things.

but no seriously. like, everything you said, and also the added fact that in both cases this (self)dehumanization stems from issues of fatherhood. i said in the tags of this post that for sokka it stems from being abandoned in such a way that he knew he was expected to die for katara, sacrificing his life and personhood for the preservation and protection of his sibling, whereas for azula it stems from knowing that her father killed her mother (or simply banished her if you're lame and annoying) and tried to kill her brother and rationalizing that violence through the logic that anyone who does not obey, agree, and serve him adequately simply deserves to die (hence why she believes that fear is the only logical way, and that the only reason anyone who defy her is that she is simply not fearsome enough).

in both cases they are subscribing to explicitly patriarchal logic that denies their own humanity for the sake of achieving the goals of their respective projects (conquest and resistance respectively) in a way that primarily serves those to whom they have subordinated their own selfhoods. and their ways of achieving/navigating that are also very similar. like they're both unafraid of humility, as opposed to someone like zuko or zhao or ozai, whose pride gets in the way of their tactics, but they do have these very fragile egos that are a product of feeling isolated and unloved and unvalidated, and so when they do fail their perfectionism will get the better of them and their facades of mental stability crack (sokka is actively suicidal in "the boiling rock" due to his failure at the invasion, azula has a whole ass nervous breakdown in "sozin's comet" as i'm sure you're aware).

and like. as much as they are willing to let their personhood be subsumed by the project they have dedicated themselves to, they also do both share this adorable quirk (by which i mean dreadful flaw that i nonetheless do happen to find cute when they do it and abhorrent irl) of needing to be the smartest most correct person in the room and being very condescending about it to anyone they deem their intellectual inferior (with azula it's most apparent in her conversations with zuzu, with sokka it's most apparent when he's encountering various villagers and lecturing them on what a bunch of idiots they all are) (also they are teens so it's okay we were all kids once). and as much as their condescension can be obnoxious, it's also proof that they're human beings and not perfect machines as they would like to imagine themselves, because robots would simply not say "i told you so."

(and obviously there's a lot more i could say on the parallels between sokka and azula, because they are mirrors in such a fascinating way, not just within their own scheme but situated in a dynamic with katara and zuko as primary mirrors and sokka and azula as secondary mirrors, and i haven't even talked about how they look like their mothers but worship their fathers, or interrogated their logic thru the framework of utena gender dynamics, or anything. but that is also because such posts are currently in my drafts, and i shall try to post them as soon as i have some more free time. as for now please enjoy this very incoherent ramble lol)

#pensive-expression #asks #azula #sokka #azula&sokka #analysis #one of these days i will write up an actual essay about the water siblings and fire siblings as mirrors and foils #or at least finish my little venn diagram thingy #AND i will finish my nanami sokka essay #that also addresses azula as nanami #the heartless doll calf for slaughter cowbell of happiness rose bride paradigm!!!!!!!! #ANYWAY. #i love them so much. have i mentioned lately that i love them
