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

Re: Utena PlotBunny Adoption Services

But Mikage needs to be Zelgadis! They have the same voice. school-sherlock

(Which also means Touga is Rezo.)

Nanami would be Martina so long as Utena was Lina.

Imagine this: Nanami the Serpent, Shiori Inverse, Juri Gabriev, Kozue Greywords, Utena Wil Tesla Seyruun and Anthy Metallium.

emot-rofl I was thinking of writing an Utena crossover for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Juri = Link
Shiori = Zelda
Ruka = Ganon
Navi = An Utena Fairy
Saria = Saionji
Durinia = Touga
Ruto = Kozue
Impa = Anthy
Nabooru = Nanami

Realistically, though, Mitsuru would totally be Link. But then Shiori couldn't be Zelda.

Re: Utena PlotBunny Adoption Services

Shiori in drag would be pretty hot, I have to admit. But Ruka really couldn't be a good Ganon... I don't know about the rest of the cast though, I'm not a big Zelda fan so I never played any of the later ones.

Akio wouldn't make a good Ganon, either. No one would, really. He's just too much of the, "I'm evil because I can be," type. All the other roles I chose are pretty much color coded, anyway.

Juri would be much more suited to Nabooru than Nanami, since then Juri would get to live with all the other lesbians. (But that might make Shiori Ganon... Or the twin witches.) I'm willing to keep Kozue as Ruto, because it suits her. Drumani would totally be Saionji, or maybe Saria... It's hard to say who Impa would be.

How would the Movie cast react to the Anime cast if they met?

A sharp pain shot through Akio’s skull; the prelude of a hangover he was now obliged to enjoy for the rest of the day. At first he thought nothing, the miserable headache spoke for itself in a language without words that Akio was, admittedly, somewhat familiar with. A few moments passed and then he did think something. He thought, ‘But I didn’t drink last night.’
Akio opened his eyes so that he might blink in confusion. It was well after dawn, but above him a stunning projection of the night sky glittered and then lit up in a fire of greens and purples and blues. Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights. ‘And I don’t usually leave the projector on overnight…’
More blinking. ‘Because I’m usually alone in the morning.’ He stretched his neck across the smooth leather of the armrest, arching toward the weight on his abdomen. It was too early in the morning and he was too hung over to be sure whose form this was without looking. The aurora blazed across the dome of his planetarium, filling the enormous room with a soft bluish light that made his skin darker, and his hair brighter. He lifted his head, following that brightness with his eyes, letting his hair lead him to the face of his lover. Silver, silver, silver…and more silver, straighter, shorter, and finer than his own, set against skin equally darkened by the pale light.
Much more blinking. Akio moved, and the head resting on his abdomen lifted. Bright green eyes looked up at him, obviously not expecting the question Akio was about to ask.
“What’s your name?”
The man looked hurt. “…Akio. Ohtori.”
“…is that so…”, Akio murmured, distracted by the swell of thought in his head. A grim realization starting to wrap itself in words in his mind, and the closer it got to being a conscious thought, the more Akio’s stomach sank. Sensing a threat, his mind rearranged priorities, and it suddenly became far more important to get rid of this man than to contemplate him. Relief, and then he looked at…Akio’s…face. It took not a second, and the corners of his mouth quirked up. He recognized a familiar expression, one he’d certainly never worn, but still a familiar expression. “…then, we are related.”
The man’s eyes went wide, and he shrank back, an excuse or an explanation in the back of his throat. Akio’s eyes narrowed and he reached down, catching the man’s jaw in his fingers, pulling him into a deep kiss that became their only point of contact as the man struggled onto his feet. Finally he had his bearings enough to pull his lips away from Akio’s.
For a moment, the room went dark, and then the shutters started to rise and the warm glow of morning filtered in, spilling across the man’s horrified face. Akio examined this imposter with a growing sense of satisfaction.
“I’m so glad you don’t mind, Akio. I don’t either.” White teeth. A devious grin. The man stared, bewildered, frightened, surprised, before bolting across the room, hurling himself unceremoniously through one of the high arches. Akio listened, and did not hear a premature crashing of flesh and bone. The man hadn’t landed on the Student Council’s balcony. Satisfied with this, Akio stretched, let his eyelids lower, and conveniently forgot everything about this strange affair.

As far as plotbunnies, I always thought it'd be interesting if Miki and Juri stole each other's signature items (i.e., stopwatch and locket). I also would have loved to have seen someone write uselessmarks' request for one of the utenadrabbleathons, which would have featured a post-movie Juri and Miki in "a sarcasm-filled friendship, only light mentions of Shiori or Kozue, coffee and a camera." Always wanted to write it for fun, but never got around to it.

Re: Utena PlotBunny Adoption Services

2 new storyline ideas

1/ What if Tsuwabuki wasn't causing all those accidents to happen to Nanami because he wanted to be like her Big Brother but instead because he wants revenge for when Nanami stole his kitten so she could give it to Touga and before he can ask for it back, she drowned it?

2/ What if during episode 39, Anthy tried to save Utena from her nobility by sealing her the same way she did to Dios?

Well I guess it'd have to be slightly AU, since some of the characters have backstories that would preclude it, but...

IF *Dios = God became Akio = Lucifer
THEN  *Utena = calyx (which protects the flower) would become Ukikusa = weed (which attacks the flower)

And because she is timeless, she could convince Ukikusa to mastermind the Duels and have the Engage fight with the Sword of Utena and maybe one lucky duellist will end up channelling Prince Utena... sounds like a cool story.

Re: Utena PlotBunny Adoption Services

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!

Utena Tenjou and her friend Wakaba Shinohara want to become music stars! When Wakaba's request, to join the popular new band Seitokai, is rejected and posted insultingly on their message board; Utena challenges Kyouichi Saionji to an impromptu guitar duel. Somehow defeating Saionji with her broken guitar, Utena becomes Himemiya Anthy's new idol. Bringing with her the Guitar of Dios, Anthy may just be the key to creating the newest hit sensation, and beating out Seitokai to a record deal with the Ends of the World music company.

However, even when it looks like the deal is set a new hurdle emerges from the shadows. Souji Mikage, operating from the theatre where one hundred musicians were said to have died in a mysterious fire, plans to defeat Utena with his experimental stylings. Can Utena defeat this master of mixing? Has her own dear friend Wakaba truely defected to the other side?

OMG Ragnarok, THIS is interesting!

Somehow I fantasied this:

Utena and Anthy got married and led a happy life. Yet, one day, Anthy asked for a divorce. (You choose the reason.)

I couldn't help giggling to this ridiculous thought.

If anything I would have had Juri as bass or lead and give Saionji the drums. But no! If Touga's going to have a band, he's going to make Saionji his bass. It cannot be any other way.

I had a dream in which something very similar happened. Mikage burnt down a concert hall and got rid of a metalcore band in the process. It was odd.

Anyway, I like this idea emot-dance Saionji should play flute! Oh yes...flute. No phallic symbolism here! Nonononononono. Silly idea, honestly.

At times I wonder what would happen if the cast of Evangelion were to take a ride down Mikage's elevator. I suspect they would make terrific black rose duelists. And I just saw Sailor Moon R: the movie so now I think that Mikage and Fiore should get together. They already share the same seyiuu and would be a perfect match. emot-keke

Random plot bunnies. Take them if you want.

- Utena mythology. Basically, you've got all sorts of stories that are based around the creation of the world, so what if Dios created the world itself, but the SKU cast were the gods and goddesses that created everything on it? Ex: Juri AKA Amour created the princesses of the world that would love admire and love her from afar, but Shiori grew jealous of Juri's creations, and so she made Juri's perfect creations suffer by giving them feelings of jealousy. Ruka's solution to fix the problem is to give them princes that can save them, but it still isn't enough, nor is giving them emotions to go along with love and jealousy that can counter jealousy, such as friendship and adoration. The moral of the story? Every time you feel a negative emotion such as jealousy, blame Shiori, and the student council's inability to fix humanity once she fucked it up.

^ I got halfway through writing that a while ago before I decided it was a stupid idea. I wish that I was crazy enough to believe that that was really how the world was really created.

- Take the plot of My Fair Lady, but switch Henry with Ruka, Eliza with Shiori, and whatever that other guy's name was with Juri. Ruka makes a bet with Juri that he's a good enough fencing trainer that he can turn Shiori into an expert fencing in six months. It could totally work. (I want to write this so badly, but I know deep down in my heart that I never will.)

Random story idea.

It’s an Utena/Buffy the Vampire Slayer fusion. 

Obviously Utena gets to be Buffy. Nanami gets to be Cordelia, which means Keiko gets to be Harmony, in theory. I think Wakaba gets to be Willow, and Tatsuya gets to be Xander.
