FINALLY finished this piece, which I started over a year ago. Juri's 2nd duel is one of my favorite moments in Utena. There are so many gut-wrenching shots that I couldn't get out of my head, so I had to draw them all. This'll be available as a print at Lightbox Expo this year!
The best part of any fandom experience is getting so deep into your love and analysis that your ranting about The Characters is borderline incomprehensible unless you write a 10 page essay. And then you find another fan equally as obsessed on the same wavelength and you just go back and forth with those 10 page essays. Unbeatable. Hey I've got an hour to kill want to hear my rant about how the deliberate way The Character is always framed through other people's pov and never her own is a part of her battle with the metanarrative of the show to retain her privacy? Ok cool here's six screenshots to start and if you ignore the cw logo-

DUKE IS NOT NAMED AFTER THE BAT SIGNAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE TOOK THE NAME BECAUSE OF HIS MOM NOT BECAUSE OF STUPID BRUCE WAYNE
ALSO I dislike when the name Signal is collapsed into being just about him patrolling in the daytime or his powers because ultimately Signal is about his philosophy. It's about wanting to be a hero like his mom, to be a knight and a force against darkness, to be the first on the battlefield signifying both a belief in personal responsibility and a desire to be a symbol for his community. TO BE SIGNAL IS TO BE A SIGN OF THE FUTURE, A HERALD OF THE ONCOMING DAWN!!!!
Duke’s so damn funny I think of this panel so often 😭😭
there's a lot of good reasons to read a lot of comics like "genuine enjoyment of the story and characters" and "appreciation for the art form" but by far the pettiest and most valid reason is so you'll know when people you don't like on the internet are lying.
it doesn't matter which country we're talking about here, if someone from any country in the world says "oh where i am from there is simply no racism", you not only shouldn't believe them, but you should actually never take them seriously about anything ever again.
you are required to be and act anti-racist
thinking and hoping you're not racist isn't enough. i am talking specifically and especially to white trans people whose political ideology and differing axis of oppression makes them feel immune to racially motivated missteps and behaviors

Her internal monologue calling out to ‘bad silence’ without any previous reference to good/bad silence but still gesturing to it like an established idea… do you think she - 16 and dumb in a bright red skirt and headband - used to categorize him like that. Good silence, bad silence. What does that hum mean. Is this the kind of twitch of his shoulders which means she’s made him smile or the kind that gets her dismissed without a thought in the cold of the night. Again. Is that exhale exasperation or good humor. Always checking, was that a good silence, or a bad one.
After watching TVL, I believe that the philosophy of the first two seasons were supposed to be taken as a character quirk - thoughtful commentary only made it in because it’s Louis’ perspective. I have to assume that audiences were never supposed to align themselves with the moral coding of those seasons. Was the concept of the vampire cycle of abuse intended to be received as negatively as book readers received Louis' outlook on vampirism? Was Lestat's relentless irony, snark and general unseriousness supposed to be what the audience would align themselves with?
In hindsight it was my mistake for thinking the social commentary that was once the driving force of the story was genuinely the political ethos of the show as opposed to a temporary veil they would eventually remove. Taking grief so seriously and examining the moral implications of your monstrous actions was perhaps always intended to be thwarted. Maybe they didn't expect a huge chunk of the audience to sincerely connect to Louis' tone of storytelling and overall outlook on vampirism. The way tvl writers are trampling on Louis as a character and the ethics of iwtv constantly reinforces this for me.
The overall snark, cynicism and lack of emotion in this season is a symptom of the apathetic, majority white, liberal writers room. The continuation of Louis' arc with grief this season is not about uplifting him, it is about bringing him down. Louis owning the night and being companion enough for himself is apparently too "cookie cutter" and he needed to be told he has the word "slave" etched on his ribs by the one he grieves. How exactly is this closure for Louis? It is a decision that only makes sense if I believe the writers were angry with how the audience took the "I own the night" sentiment. You took grief too seriously. You examined the implications of these characters' monstrous actions. You aligned yourself with Louis' ethics and that was never supposed to happen.
Lestat's perspective is never challenged or called into question because they so desperately want you to align with him. They are so concerned with steering their audience away from caring about the cycles of abuse and towards Lestat's trivial outlook on vampirism. Lestat isn't actually an abuser, the blood of Akasha made him do it...It's a vampire thing. His incestuous relationship with his Mother is presented as abusive when Lestat was human but in the modern day it is trivialised because "it's different for vampires". Claudia apparently likes Lestat more than Louis because "he knows who he is" - Louis' attachment to "human morality" is now presented as a character flaw. This is now the show's outlook on vampirism. One that is arguably similar to what Santiago says in the trial: "I ask you to set aside your mortal biases and remember that we are monsters."

Duke’s mom inspiring him to be the Signal ;; he loves her so much :( | “My mother, she’s a social worker, and she always goes out first thing in the morning to meet her clients. She says it’s the best time to see things clearly. To see them in a new light.”
