This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Re: Personal Canon

Yuki Sohma (from Fruits Basket) is Miki's long lost brother.  Except that Miki (highlight to read spoiler) doesn't turn into a rat when Kozue or any other girl hugs him. emot-biggrin

Yeah... it's the Aya Hisakawa connection making me think that... emot-wink

Quoted for TRUTH!

The ice that Anthy loves to make shaved ice from, comes from glaciers found in Greenland.

The dorm that Utena and Anthy are staying at was once the residence of the one hundred duellists that perished in the Nemuro Hall fire.

The reason Utena was moved to the abandoned dorm was that Anthy hoped that being all alone together would encourage Utena to come out of the closet and maybe score some hot pink action… unfortunately she guessed wrong.

Re: Personal Canon

-  The Student Council's Bake Sale was a huge success thanks to Saionji's delicious confections.

-  Every SKU character has at least five cuts on each hand due to excessive rose-fondling.

-  Touga's sugar cookies tasted awful.

-  Saionji threw the 100% all teenage action porno magazine in the Student Council's wastebin after realizing that the girls in it were, well, girls.

-  Nanami goes through people's garbage, looking for blackmail material.

-  Touga never wears underwear.  And he's proud, damnit.

Re: Personal Canon

It was through having sex with the actual Chairman that Akio managed to become engaged to Kanae and take over Ohtori.

"Looking for" implies a possibility of failure. Nanami goes finding blackmail material. emot-wink

Speaking of which...

-In the back of her mind, Nanami was secretly disappointed that no one milked her while she was a cow.

-Anthy made the body-switching curry on purpose, partly as a favor to Akio (who got a "test drive" the Saturday while they were switched...)

(And, an extension of Giovanna's entry...)
-Akio slept with Kanae once, and only once, long ago-- when she was engaged to someone else.

After being burned once too often by bishounen characters, I was ready to believe that Juri was a boy until her gender was actually spoken aloud.

Re: Personal Canon

(Seriously:) Akio engineered the deaths of Utena's parents.  (Unseriously:) He did this by getting the real Chairman drunk and encouraging him to vault onto the car's hood while driving, resulting in the accident.  Afterwards the Chairman gave Akio his daughter and Ohtori Academy to keep him quiet.  school-sherlock

(Semiseriously:) Miki didn't invent the phrase "shining thing."  It's not poetic enough for him.  He adopted it from a pop ballad he listened to obsessively when he was nine.  (He also stole part of The Sunlit Garden's harmonic line from the same song, and still feels a little guilty about it today.)

It does seem awfully convenient. He was probably curious to know what it was like to hit a speed bump. I suspect unlike my college, there aren't any on the roads at Ohtori.

Don't you mean that Nanami orders Aiko, Keiko and Yuuko to search through people's garbage?  Thats the sort of thing you leave up to henchwomen after all.

Whenever Akio gets calls from Indian telemarketers asking if he wants to change his call server, there is a 75% chance that he will end up sleeping with them.

During an exploratory phase in her early teens, Juri considered getting a sex change, as you can see, she got over it.

Anthy is actually an excellent cook, well versed in Indian, Italian, French, Chinese and Japanese cuisine, but she was ordered by Saionji to never cook any of those dishes back when he was the Engaged for some reason and because Utena never knew about her skills and as such, never ordered her to start cooking properly again, she hasn’t ever since.

And she now has permanent stretch-marks on her breasts because of the previous weight of undrained milk (cows can apparently get ruptures if they aren't milked, though don't ask where I know that).

Ditto. It took until the episodes 4 and 5 before I realized that he was a boy.

Anthy is actually an excellent cook

Isn't this more or less canon? She makes those bountiful breakfasts for herself and Utena that seem to be both excellent and fairly normal. She just has an eccentric taste in fast food (possibly symbolic, since what isn't?).

Re: Personal Canon

Much of Saionji's hostility towards Utena comes from jealousy of  her confident gender-bending ways - Saionji is, in fact, a transsexual who is unable to express himself as well as Utena. As a result, he has to write about his troubles in his diary and hide in the woods wearing women's aprons to help vent his frustration.

This is also why his relationship with Anthy has soured - after telling her he wished to be a woman, she replied that only real men could be her prince. emot-frown

If the above was true then it could be argued that Akio was able to secude him over to the dark side by making him (Saionji) feel like a woman. emot-aaa

Re: Personal Canon

Mrs. Ohtori is actually Miki and Kozue's aunt.

Touga can't stand porn. If a girl wants to watch it because she thinks he wants to watch it, he'll quickly correct her.

Whenever possible, Saionji likes to watch telenovelas. He likes to eat Petit Fours(that he makes himself) while doing so.
