me: hey so remember how you spent the last few years, and kinda your life, thinking about what if things really didn't stay the same
also me: in case
me: yeah in case you ever *really* had to think about it
also me: yeah
me: when's the last time you thought about the egg speech from utena?
also me: oh fuck.
me: …
also me: …
me: …
also me: i mean it was weird enough people were still watching utena
me: yeah, but gender roles, when it was still "roles"
also me: I *know*!
me: but we forgot about the black rose arc, the mikage seminar, didn't we?
also me: we did!
me: because it's not like decadently aestheticized academic dueling means anything in Japanese history
also me: because Germany-sempai, I get it
me: you remember the speech?
me: Herman Hesse!
me: you remember the speech?
also me: if... if it cannot
me: you remember it
also me: if it cannot break the egg's shell, the chick will die without being born
me: we are the chick, the world is our egg
also me: unless we crack the world's shell, we will die without being born
me: smash the world's shell
us: sekai wo kakumei suru tame ni!
