Top 10 spoilers that went too far.

the idea of eternity in utena is so interesting. initially "there is no such thing as something eternal" is the thought that sends utena spiraling into suicidality, which is understandable, since the idea that everything will end someday is terrifying. especially to a child. especially to a child who just encountered one of the most traumatizing and violent "endings" possible, the deaths of her parents. but then she's shown that apparently something can be eternal. and that something is pain, which is even worse, but at least gives her something to live for. and then by the end of the show it's like. no, pain isn't eternal either. "there is no such thing as something eternal" is reframed as a positive. eternity is Not Good. eternity is everything staying the same forever, never changing for the better. it's the opposite of revolution. it's what akio wants, perpetuating the system that benefits him at the cost of everyone else forever and ever. and no matter what utena might have thought, it is not what she wants.
Okay but one of my favorite moments in RGU for me is in the final episode where the student council members are just chilling and hanging out and cooking some barbecue while Utena is literally dying—
And then Juri just starts telling this really depressing story and everyone goes along with it except for Nanami, who’s like “Why did you tell us this.” >:(
Juri: Yeah there was this guy who saved my sister from drowning, but he ending up dying in the end 😔 it’s such a shame, I can’t even remember his name
Everyone else: Oh okay cool

I just tasted the nitro Pepsi I bought while in the USA and it was so good. It was just ever so slightly carbonated and it was perfect sensory-wise.
It is going to become my once in a while treat because it's too expensive. Especially compared to here in Mexico where I can buy a 2 liter bottle of regular Pepsi with the coast of one can of nitro Pepsi.
I feel that this reads like an ad, but I swear it's not I just have strong feelings towards the drink.
I'm going to dream about that soda.
