Me, after I clamber out of the sea at the feet of my oppressor 

Oh fuck! He broke all the ketchup packets that were sitting at the bottom of Swan Lake!!!

What is this Wile E. Coyote bullshit. I’m going to cry.

ok, fair, idk why I expected a different response that time

I am absolutely loving the Shadow Raven Ballerina Golem aesthetic and I personally cannot wait until Princess Kraehe inevitably opens her own runway fashion line. 

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (2003)

“No one else but you could smilingly accept the fate of Princess Tutu”

All this time I was thinking, Ahiru is Such A Nice Girl. She doesn’t deserve this cruel destiny to either never confess her love, or die. 

This line made me realize: It’s *because* Ahiru is Such A Nice Girl that this is her fate. Even before she knew about this destiny, she was trying to keep Rue and Mytho together, regardless of her own feelings. She refuses to cause any unnecessary strife, even at her own expense.

Princess Tutu’s destiny isn’t just arbitrarily imposed on someone who doesn’t deserve it. It’s a destiny that she will bring about herself just by being Such A Nice Girl. That’s why no one else can do it, because “the fate of Princess Tutu” is entirely grounded in Ahiru’s own actions and desires. 

And now, I will quietly wait for the show to prove me wrong.

We can’t let Ahiru die. No one else wants to do this shitty job.

“I’ll shatter Mytho’s heart into multiple shards, then shatter each of those shards into more shards, and then mail those shards to myself, and when it arrives, I’ll smash it with a hammer”

Fakir: Sorry, Kraehe, but that makes it 3 to 1. Majority rules.

Kraehe: Not if I murder the two of you.

Fakir: Well THIS is not a balanced democracy
