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

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

The demon boss on that new Comedy Central show, Ugly Americans, has a huge painting of himself in a speedo behind his desk in his office.

This reminds me of the kind of thing Akio would do.

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

When you just posted a two page essay in another forum on a completely irrelevant comedic effect subplot involving a pickle jar in an episode of Kim Possible detailing its sexual innuendo and its relation between two characters, one emasculating the other.

Because for real you guys, if I hadn't been binging on Utena and reading so many of your essays while simultaneously re watching episode 34 about a thousand times in addition to re-watching all the other episodes, this craziness would never have happened.

Also, YKYWTMSKUW you secretly suspect Ikuhara had some influence over the direction of an episode on a disney channel t.v. show.

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

You spend time trying to figure out which characters from other fandoms would be seduced by Akio, and which wouldn't.

(My friends and I have had lengthy conversations about this.)

...in a horrific way, that just reminds me of this video. Although if I saw Akio doing that I think the universe might just implode, and not in the fun way. emot-gonkemot-gonkemot-gonk (Although actually, the first time I saw this episode, I was in hysterics anyway because of the whole kangaroo boxing thing...)

You go out to dinner with a friend and try to order La Fin du Monde beer, when you don't even drink beer.

You compensate for the restaurant being out of beer by ordering a crepe with salmon and asparagus.

You find roses that are the exact shade of Akio's hair and wonder what are the symbolic implications of taking a few flowers for a bouquet.

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

You tried to make shaved ice...and then bought grape flavoring syrup so it could be more Anthy-esque.\

EDIT: And took pictures of Orange Roses in your local supermarket with camera-phone, to make it your background, because it reminds you of Juri, (too obvious?)

Somehow, I've been programed with it at such a young age, that raspas don't remind me of Anthy, Anthy reminds me of raspas.


When I go to the store, my MOM knows the rose colours. ...Sorta. She knows green is Saionji and purple is Akio. She usually is like SO WHICH ONE IS THIS? She gets me Ruka roses when I'm really sick. ;___;

When my sister was really little, she'd get yellow or orange roses cause her favourites were Nanami and Juri.


Then we were looking at relatives vacation stuff from Switzerland, and it had cows with bells, and my mom and I were all NANAMI! (Her favourite episode is the cowbell)

you wonder if a designer such as cowbastine doir exits, and if so you will wear that cow bell.

made your own utena poster ( lol so have)

think that the scientist  need to find a way to make a hybrid of monkey and mouse

you think of duels when you hear the word trilobites! ( has drawn an utena trilobite)

have put a sticky note on your dorm desk saying beware of mongoose ( yes i have)

...When that episode of South Park with the planetarium controlling the children's minds leads you to obvious conclusions.

...When a week after watching the series you conveniently forget that you used to be a realist, and that now every bit of your artistic inspiration comes from Utena. (this is a serious problem.)

...When you supplant Utena as the protagonist of every video game you play. (So far: Zelda, Pokemon, Phoenix Wright, etc.)

...Whenever recurring words, phrases or themes from Utena pop up in your everyday life, you end up thinking about Utena for a few hours afterward.

...You actually understand Mawaru Penguindrum.

...When you hope that Utena is an acceptably broad enough research target for your literary thesis.

Hell yes!  (And this is part of my problem -- my sympathies about the cabbage!)  Or another thing that can be added to the list.  When two members categorize incense scents by Akio, Saionji, or Touga, and you want to know opinions on what other people think they smell like.  x_X

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

Akio goes in for the floral stuff.  Touga likes incense that he can describe as "delicate, yet full-bodied."  Saionji grabs all the Nag Champa and doesn't leave any for anyone else.

ETA: After typing that, I decided to rephrase.

Akio likes his incense like he likes his women: innocent and flowery.

Touga likes his incense like he likes his women: delicate and full-bodied.

Saionji likes his incense like he likes his women: Indian.
