some Princess Tutu thoughts
A couple weeks back I marathoned Season 2 of Princess Tutu. You guys, I've watched it several times now and I still spend the last five or so episodes curled up in a ball on my couch because I'm so excited and then happy crying at the end.
I had forgotten how much of an utter asshole Autor is the first time he really encounters Fakir. Also, he's such a Drosselmeyer fanboy! Autor's the only student we meet from the musical division, so we have no idea what his classmates think of him. Is he That Weird Kid, the one they all try to avoid? "Shh, don't make eye contact with Autor or he'll drag you off to look at his Drosselmeyer clubhouse." But I do warm to him in the episode when he meets Rue and goes off with her. Since it doesn't seem like they ever really met before, it's perfectly justified for him to be wondering if his feelings of love are real or something written into the script. But he doesn't care! He says he still loves her! He knows perfectly well that she'll take out his heart and feed it to the Raven King but HE DOESN'T CARE BECAUSE HE LOVES RUE AND THINKS THAT SHE IS WORTHY OF BEING LOVED. Rue, who's been told her whole life that only the Raven King and the Prince can love her, and even that's being taken away. And she can't bring herself to do it. She knows she has to do just this one thing and her father will go back to loving her, but SHE CAN'T DO IT. SHE SENDS HIM AWAY EVEN THOUGH SHE KNOWS SHE'LL BE PUNISHED FOR IT. I love this damn show so much.

That scene on the roof is so great! Ahiru almost falls off and Rue starts getting this look on her face of, "Oh my God, you're still just that dorky girl who wants to be friends." And it almost works! Ahiru almost gets through to her! *sobs*
