From my experience thus far the Princess Tutu LJ comm has been kind of amazingly wankless - well, maybe not amazingly given its relatively small size, but friendly and snugglyness does seem to be the norm.

Uh, so anyway I will give some opinions! Possibly they will be disagreed with by somebody . . .?

1. Rue is an awesome and fascinating character! This is not an opinion I have ever really seen someone disagree with, although I understand that there are a lot of Rue-bashing fics out there somewhere, which makes me very sad. Fortunately they're not in my corner of the internet and therefore I can pretend they don't exist.

2. However, I also believe that post-canon Rue and Mytho is in no way a happy-ever-after kind of relationship. I mean, the series pretty explicitly says that Mytho still has raven's blood hanging out in his veins at the end, and Rue obviously does too. Put two raven-infected people together to form a support group, and what you are probably going to get is a lot of really unhealthy codependence and emotional abuse. Which is not to say I don't ship it, because I totally do - I kind of think the fact that it's so messed up makes it extra interesting to consider.

3. But my secret confession is that even though I totally ship Rue/Mytho, and also think postseries Pique/Autor would be awesome, I kind of ship Rue/Autor even though I can't see how it would ever actually work.

4. Pique is the sanest person in Kinkan Town.
