Thanks God I got this done before Season 2 starts airing. Time for a look at the other characters! Cut tags for spoilers still apply.

There are several parallels between the Dean and Akio. ( read more )

Perry is Wakaba, if anyone. They just want everything to be normal, normal, normal. Sorry, but that’s not happening.

Danny could be Juri. They’re both tall, badass redheads. On a non-Utena note, Danny says in Episode 7 that the Summer Society has an annual Adonis Festival and Hunt. Now I want to write fic about that, or fic where the Summer Society engages in Bacchic celebrations during which they engage in Maenad-type behavior. It goes badly whenever any Zeta boys try to infiltrate.

Will is Touga—they’re both sleazy minions.

I’m not sure that LaFontaine and Kirsch have character equivalents. Kirsch isn’t always very bright but he’s too nice to be Saionji.

Silas University and Ohtori Academy are also far too much alike for comfort. ( read more )

I've really got to get a Utena icon one of these days. Anyway...

Vids
You already know about the literal lyric music video for Total Eclipse of the Heart, right? Somebody took the audio and used it to make a Utena fanvid. I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT.

The super-long, epically awesome, post-series fic you've been searching for. Anthy and Utena have reunited outside Ohtori, but even years later they encounter the other duelists and return to Ohtori with a strong desire to kick Akio's ass. Guys, this fic made me like Nanami and Saionji. HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN? It also feature Anthy as an in-character badass. I'm glad I didn't discover it until recently, since I heard it was a WIP for 10 years.

What's More Dangerous Than Cruising an LA Freeway? by DB Sommer

Set during that episode when Wakaba gets Utena out of the way so that she can go for a ride in the Akio-mobile. (Author says it's during Episode 30.) I can't say anything more than Wakaba is completely and totally awesome, because that would spoil the surprise.

Drosselmeyer and Akio. No way in hell should those two ever get together and cook up schemes.

While poking around the internet I found this photo:

Officially it's from a Shakespeare in the Park production of "Twelfth Night" a few years back. But...Utena cosplay, anyone? You have Anthy with the sword, Utena, and...I'm not sure who the man could be. Touga? I'm sure he'd like to be in that position, at any rate.

I don't read many tumblr accounts but recently I discovered Revolutionary Girl Utena: Texts From Last Night. The creator takes texts from a website called "Texts From Last Night" and pairs them up with screenshots from Utena.

I can't get enough of it; I zoomed through the whole archive in a couple of days. Most are hysterically funny and a few are so bittersweet that I almost started tearing up.
