[ID: A Revolutionary Utena gifset. Anthy is shown speaking with a placid smile to different duelists on the dueling grounds.
1 and 2: Anthy smiles, "Cheer up, Saionji... senpai." Saionji looks absolutely shocked and horrified.
Anthy smiles, "I'd like to study with you again." Miki looks stunned.
Anthy holds out an orange rose, saying, "One day, they will know your feelings." Juri scoffs angrily and walks away, saying, "Mind your own business!"
Anthy, standing against Touga, says, "Cheer up, Miss Tenjou." Her smile is very slight, but her expression is still pleasant. Utena looks stunned and upset, and tears fall from her eyes. End ID]

I loveeeeeee UTENANTHY …:: feeling sooooo normal abt them
The concept of an girl demonized and abused as an object having to pay for her brothers sins while he rapes and abuses her while she dries his tears . Because she has nothing else and she’s lived for so long and nothing has ever changed and she meets another reckless butch who views her as a princess to be saved and sees herself as a man a prince like her brother a saviour a naive young girl who sits in the system and works in its ways . So she plays along with it acts the foolish princess and Utena the beloved prince who saves her too feel good about herself to be a prince to be a man without fully understanding that she supports the system in its ways she adheres to its rules in reverse. She is not a revolutionary she is girlboss pawn .
But she loves Anthy . She really cares she treats her humanely as a person as a friend as a lover .
And what can Anthy do what can she do when Utena keeps coming back keeps loving her saves her and fights for her and loves her . Just because she believes she deserves it . Just because she loves her .
After so long after so much pain how can she believe she will succeed in truly freeing Anthy in truly loving her how can Anthy even conceive that she truly loves her.
She’s poison and Anthy has poured it in her tea . She’s just as weak any girl just as weak as Anthy . She can never save her . She can never stop Akio . So she betrays her stabs her and walks away she can never help . She isn’t a prince she’s just a girl .
And Utena tries to save her any way even despite it all she knows she understands she loves truly loves Anthy . And she fails. she isn’t her prince she’s a girl .
BUT SHE DOSENT BECAUSE ANTHY BREAKS FREE ANYWAY BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHE NEVER NEEDED TO BE SAVED SHE KNOWS UTENA LOVES HER SHE REVOLUTIONISES THE WORLD . SHE BREAKS THOSE BONDS. FORGET THE PRINCES WHY ARE THEY BETTER WHY DO THEY MATTER !!!!! ANTHY HAS UTENA AND SO SHE LEAVES AKIO SHE IS FREE THEY BREAK THE BONDS THEY DECIMATE THEM THROUGH THEIR LOVE
ANTHY KNOWS UTENA LOVES HER SHE KNOWS ITS WORTH IT SHE HAS SOMETHING NOW AND SHE DID WIN SHE WON PRINCES NEVER EXISTED NEITHER DID WITCHES !!!!!!!! THEYRE ARE NO ROSES BRIDES !!!!!! THEY ARE JUST GIRLS UTENA & ANTHY AND THEY LOVE EACHOTHER
THEY ARE HOPE AND HATE AND BETRAYAL AND THEY ESCAPE THROUGH THEIR LOVE AND AGHHHHHHHH
