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

I MADE A THING
http://jeneelestrange.tumblr.com/post/1 … g-a-friend
A friend of mine described someone else as "being even more into Utena than you" and I surprised myself by getting REALLY INDIGNANT INSIDE. Like WHO DOES THIS BITCH THINK SHE IS. And this dumb thing was born.
Oh, and I forgot I made this dumb thing using forum screencaps, of course:
Also, feel free to add me on Tumblr if you're on there. The people on this forum are the best part of the fandom, ya'll.

How many times have I told you I loved you? Consider this one more. This is hilarious.

Seconded. 
Flowers without names blooming in the field can only sway in the wind. But I was born with a destiny of roses, born to live in passion and glory.

Ha ha, I used to be this way about Saionji. Funny stuff.

It's a thing of beauty. 
No one's ever challenged my status as an Utena fan. Which is funny because aside from my rose crest tattoo, the fact that our network of computers is Ohtori Academy and the boxes are all fittingly named characters*, and having the longest standing most spergy SKU site on the internet...you'd never know I was fan. At least on Yasha's account there are a couple pictures of Touga in the house. (The only anime/nerd stuff we have on display, strangely.)
* Yes two people need this many computers.
Media box (Connected to TV): Akio (obvious; also this is where the router is)
Living room desk box: Anthy (can be passive aggressive at times)
Study box: Utena (Yasha's workhorse, I never use it)
Laptop: Mikage (ironically probably the best specs in the house)
Speaking of Touga....OH OH OH MY TURN 
(Not as funny, no, but I will never tire of shitting on his taste in dresses.)
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.

Re: I MADE A THING
Well, no one can challenge ya'll. I mean, I love Utena like burning, but I don't love it enough to learn how to code a website like this. I never went past Java.
I seriously laughed when I saw Touga set the exchange diary on fire. You could've just thrown it away, Touga. But no, drama queen. You had to ERASE IT FROM EXISTENCE. It's shit like that that gives me the headcanon that Touga unconsciously resents Saionji and Nanami for having relatively normal childhoods. He does shit that is just unnecessary even if you wanted to be a dick.
To be somewhat fair to Touga, no one has great dress taste in this series. And he's related to Nanami, who has the FUCKING WORST. And maybe he just really wanted to re-enact Gone With The Wind with him as Rhett Butler.
