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

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.

I was going to say that they all smell like varying levels of depravity and shame, but that works, too.  emot-wink  XD

Actually we seemed to break it down that Saionji favors woodsy or green scents, pines and cedars and sweetgrass. Touga favors the flowery gets-him-laid stuff, gardenia and sandalwood rose, and Akio went with the wildcard or exotic scents, opium and coconut.

Needs hobby. emot-rolleyes


Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

....you find a seller on Etsy called Lady Rose and are surprised when the store is not stocked with vagina related items, nor has a seller girl with pink or purple hair.


The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix

When you start mass producing rose signets made from wire and duct tape and give them out to your friends.

When you show off your ring to your little brother, and he asks you if you got it from Akio.

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

I did this a while ago, but since I've only begun delurking recently, I haven't shared it here:

My computer's external hard drive has two partitions. One for automated backup and one for music (and other things, but mostly music). They are named Miki and Kozue, and the names are relevant to their functions.

I have an Apple computer, and the automated backup program is called "Time Machine". So my backups go to Kozue, as that is part of her duel song. Ten! Two! One! Zero! Take off! Miki is a musician, so of course he keeps my music library.

Incidentally, my computer itself is named Nemuro. poptart

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

Kozue kind of gets treated like an emergency backup by him, too. I hope yours is more reliable on that front.

So, does your harddrive frequently melt down? Or does it have the top secret information of 100 carefully selected boys on it? Is it prone to having its clock freeze for days at a time? Does your computer even exist?

Your response to everything is "...I have no choice but to revolutionize the world."

You somehow think writing a fic where you insert your RL friends into the roles of SKU chars would be a good idea.

So the music partition isn't just for storing music, huh? ;)

It's like 90% music. There's a few random videos and stuff on it, too, along with the Katawa Shoujo visual novel which I have yet to start.

It is missing a shining thing, though...

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

Listening to J.A. Seazer in the car makes driving anywhere seem ominous, like I'm going to the End of the World or something.

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

When you listen to Seazer's track too much; No seriously I can't spend a day without listening to the Duels themes in fact I'm listening to Tainai Tokei Toshi Oruroi multiple time as of this post.

Also I think some fan artist here should cross over SKU with Mario and Bioshock infinite just for the fun of it

One more thing; as of this post I'm in the middle of watching Sailor moon(Fan Sub), I'm up to episode 7 and I'm enjoying the show so far; Also I loved Kotono Mitsuishi(Misato and Juri) as Sailor moon because of how adorable her voice was.

Re: YKYWTMSKUW...

Necro!

-Uh... when you wanna pick up piano again just to play The Sunlit Garden and other Utena songs that have sheet music.
-When you feel a tinge of guilt before eating beef or eggs.
-You make freaking Nintendo Miis based off of Utena characters.
-You find yourself thinking about cars way more than you ever have in your life.
-The names/surnames of the Utena cast are forever associated with them. Any time you see a character from another series with the same name you automatically think of the Utena character. (Right now I'm playing a game that has a female character with the last name Saionji and I was amused at the idea of our Saionji having a little sister. She's skilled in traditional Japanese dance and that made me think of Saionji and his kendo interest.)
