i don't actually like mackerel

It recently occurred to me that in Revolutionary Girl Utena, Miki’s ritualistic stopwatch gimmick might be a series of Japanese number puns.  So, since it (somehow) looked like no one else had bothered to do it, I’ve been trawling thru Utena to grab all of Miki’s stopwatch times.  Here’s what I got out of the first arc.  These are from episodes, 1, 2, 3; 4(4); 5,8,10; 11,12(2)

all of these are from the the mechanisms mentions on facebook

to start, we have, a FULL PIXELS VARIANT OF MY FAVORITE TIM PHOTO???? WHAT. WHAT. I THOUGHT I WAS DOOMED TO CRUNCHY VERSION OF THIS FOREVER

was posted along with this one, here

Continuing, a lot of these are ones I already have just in better pixels, I will include those now

These are all by Lolair Images!

Continuing, and this shook me to the bone, we have photos from the tragic standup comedy show, yknow, the really good live recording of OUATIS we have????? actually know what mod @miralines i know you love this show here you go. food. food.

(also. TS in my favorite TS pants. this makes me happy those were a more than one gig thing)

Continuing, i found these:

These are from that gig with The Indelicates & Pocketwatch they did! Which is cool! As I would kill for a video of this gig!

Finally, we have some misc/random ones.

and also

very importantly

another purple marius spotting

previously purple marius was spotted in this cropped image

THE OTHER PURPLE MARIUS ISN'T POSTED HERE. JUST THIS ONE. and who they are posing with is different. no weird freak (/pos) bag and different shorts. This was posted on 7/6/2013 and claims it was from the day before, 7/5/2013 which cross referenced with the past gigs list CONFIRMS purple marius to be from

these sets.

i feel at peace. ive confirmed purple marius down to a date. this makes me calmer about purple marius. i know more about purple marius now.

it also confirms my suspicions purple marius was from a photo taking session, it narrows down the source of purple marius none, but i now have the date. i know no one else cares about purple marius photo like me but its driven me up the wall for several years
