[image: screenshot of Princess Tutu with the titular character]

SO IT’S SOME MAGICAL GIRL GIRLY SHIT SO WHAT

EX-CUSE ME

TWO THINGS

1) GIRLY IS NOT A BAD THING

2) GIRLY IS NOT A BAD THING

SOME TUTU FANS WILL BE LIKE “It’s not girly! It’s awesome!” BUT HERE’S THE THING

YEAH IT HAS PRETTY COSTUMES AND BALLET AND MAGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS AND A WHOLE

LOTTA

SHIT

ABOUT FUCKING ~~FEELINGS~~

NONE OF THESE ARE BAD THINGS ALL OF THEM ARE AWESOME THINGS

SEE THE THING IS, GIRLY =/= LACKING IN DEPTH

that being said, it’s MORE than just the feel of the thing

ALSO BALLET WHAT THE SHIT IS UP WITH THAT?

excuse me this isn’t your five year old niece’s dance recital 

[pictured: someone’s kid’s dance recital]

not that there’s anything wrong with that btw BUT YOU’RE CONFUSING FEMININE WITH LACK OF DEPTH AND BALLET WITH CHILDISHNESS WHICH IS DEAD WRONG

ONE OF THE EPISODES IS INSPIRED BY GISELLE LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT GISELLE’S WIKI PAGE:

Act II: A moonlit glade near Giselle’s grave. Hilarion mourns at Giselle’s headstone, but is frightened away by the arrival of the Wilis, the spirits of women jilted by their lovers and who died before their weddings. The Wilis, led by their merciless queen, Myrtha, haunt the forest at night to seek revenge on any man they encounter, forcing their victims to dance until they die of exhaustion.

HOLY SHIT THAT SHIT IS FUCKED UP

WELL PRINCESS TUTU OBVS GOT SOME SWAN LAKE SHIT GOING DOWN

[image: screenshot of Princess Krahe]

SPOILERS SWAN LAKE ISN’T ABOUT SWANS FAFFING ABOUT IT’S GOT SOME FUCKED UP SACRIFICES AND SPELLS AND TRAGIC SHIT IN THERE 

THE FACT THEY WEAR TUTUS WHILE DOING IT IS IN NO WAY A BAD THING CAUSE FANCY CLOTHING =/= SUPERFICIAL 

ALSO ALSO THE CHARACTERS HAVE DEPTH AND ARE ROUNDED AND HAVE DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO THEM, THEY’RE NOT FLAT 2D CHARACTERS 

[pictured: fakir doesn’t know how to use doors when he can burst dramatically through windows instead, AND THEN fakir blushing like whoa]

[pictured: Duck, or Ahiru, the protagonist wants to make friends with the girlfriend of the guy she’s in love with and not despite of it or because of it but because she likes Rue for Rue and that shit is awesome]

[pictured: the fabulous Princess Tutu isn’t always sure of herself or is in control of things]

PS THERE ARE A LOT OF TEARS IN THIS SHOW

PPS CRYING ISN’T A BAD THING

PPPS EMOTIONS ALSO AREN’T A BAD THING

AND TRUST ME

THIS SHOW IS ALL ABOUT EMOTIONS AND SOMETIMES EMOTIONS ARE FUCKED UP AND COMPLICATED AND RELATIONSHIPS AREN’T STRAIGHTFORWARD

AND SOMETIMES YOU’RE A CHARACTER FROM A STORY

WAIT WHAT

[pictured: the writer of the story, Drosselmeyer with gears over his eyes showing Duck and Fakir’s faces]

YEAH SO THIS SHIT HAS SOME SERIOUS METAFICTIONAL THINGS GOING ON CAUSE EVERYBODY IS A CHARACTER IN THE STORY BUT KNOWS THEY’RE A CHARACTER BUT DOESN’T WANT TO BE DEFINED BY IT AND WANTS TO GO BEYOND IT BUT DOESN’T KNOW HOW

THEY’RE TRAPPED

BY THIS^^ MOTHERFUCKER

WHO IS A GRADE A ASSHOLE BTW AND IS BASICALLY FANDOM IN A NUTSHELL

so yeah, that’s some random junk about princess tutu

one last thing

[pictured: Duck emerging from her own clothes as a duck]

the main character is also a duck

yeah

that’s a thing

This is a pretty good summary of what’s cool about this show, actually.

Can we please take a moment to appreciate Pepper’s sleeping attire?

abessinier:

Yes, she is the main character’s love interest in what could be called an action movie.

Yes, she is beautiful and yes it is implied they just had sex.

And still, she doesn’t lie in bed

• naked
• only covered with a weirdly S-shaped blanket that barely covers her breasts and leaves her partners chest exposed
• in dessous
• in a negligé
• in the main character’s oversized half-open shirt that shows a lot of cleavage
• in a silken nightgown that is supposed to be incredibly expensive and showing off how much $$$ her partner has

but in a simple t-shirt with a geeky print!

Y-you know, like women might even do iN REAL LIFE!

…

…..

………….and this is one of the many reasons why Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts is AWESOME.
