skygiantsI am back from a fabulous and productive weekend! Despite dire predictions - okay, mostly mine - we have all survived. (Look, I had reason to be worried, okay? LOOK AT THIS EVIDENCE:
OVER THE RAINBOW
EMMY: Vermont is so beautiful! The weather is so perfect! THIS IS AMAZING.
BECCA: True! Almost unnervingly perfect.
EMMY: LOOK A RAINBOW.
GEN: . . . there can't be a rainbow. It's not raining! The sun is shining!
EMMY: And yet, nonetheless, there is a rainbow!
GEN: . . . . wow.
EMMY: This is so beautiful.
BECCA: Uh, this might just be me, but is nobody else feeling like this might be an ominous portent of doom?
GOOD MORNING
GEN: Good morning, guys!
EMMY: Good morning! I'm gonna go back into the guest room to get my towel.
BECCA AND GEN: *chat amicably*
EMMY *from guestroom*: . . . Becca?
BECCA: Yeah?
EMMY: Did you notice the GIANT FLOATING EYE over your bed last night?
BECCA: . . . . NO I DID NOT.
EMMY: @_@
BECCA: @_@
GEN: Oh yeah. Uh. My dad thinks that holographic blinking eye mobile is awesome! :D
EMMY: That's great and all, but what I want to know is, why didn't we see it last night?
ON THE WATERFRONT
GEN: So that is why I'm not all that interested in - hey, I've never heard so many fish out here before!
EMMY: Yeah, there sure are a lot of them, aren't there?
BECCA: . . . are those splashes getting closer?
GEN: Nah, I don't think so . . . okay, maybe? A little?
EMMY: I might be getting a little unnerved here.
BECCA: We are out on a narrow dock at two in the morning, lit only by starlight, without our phones, in a cottage without the internet, and there are ominous splashing sounds coming from all around us. I cannot be the only person here to have ever seen a horror movie!
I still say it's a miracle we made it; also that I would do it again in a heartbeat.)
In other news: all of a sudden Revolutionary Girl Utena is a thing that is all over my flist again! This pleases me, and therefore, instead of catching up on booklogging as I should, I have instead decided to present you with:
The Top Ten Revolutionary Girl Utena Crossovers That Don't Exist But Should (Unless They Do Exist And Nobody Linked Me To Them, In Which Case, Fail, World!)
10. Revolutionary Girl Utena/Harry Potter: Because I firmly believe that Dumbledore and Akio had a passionate affair back in the '50s and have been exchanging letters ever since about the challenges of running a school that is 95% focused on the character development of a special chosen one, and the aggravating necessity of having 'other students.'
9. Revolutionary Girl Utena/Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Jonathan is a prime candidate for the special Ohtori exchange program! (And Faith is a prime candidate for pulling Buffy's heartsword. if you know what I mean.)
8. Revolutionary Girl Utena/High School Musical/Glee: Speaking of special exchange programs . . . the only thing that Utena is missing is a musical episode. (Alternately, imagine one of the duel songs as performed by a cheery Disney chorus. AMMONITE!)
7. Revolutionary Girl Utena/The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: The funniest part would be that, due to the rules of the metanarrative, Haruhi would never figure out that there was anything at all out of the ordinary about this school, even while Yuki and Anthy were fighting an epic emotionless laser-glasses battle in the background.
6. Revolutionary Girl Utena/Baccano!: Basically I just think that Isaac and Miria need to cameo in everything ever. They're dangerous duellists! Yeah! Dangerous!
5. Revolutionary Girl Utena/Ugly Betty: You know you want to see Akio trying to seduce Daniel too. - okay, maybe you don't actually want to see it. But you want to see Betty's face when she finds out! ("DANIEL," she says, "YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT'S BEEN.")
4. Revolutionary Girl Utena/Ouran High School Host Club: Because Tamaki and Touga's Prince Character-Off would be a thing of greater beauty than words can really express, and so would Nanami and Renge's Evil Laugh-Off.
3. Revolutionary Girl Utena/Leverage: After a phone call from a distraught Kanae about her cheating power-abusing fiance, Nate smirks, adjusts his sunglasses, and says, "Let's go steal a duel." LITTLE DOES HE KNOW.
2. Revolutionary Girl Utena/Princess Tutu: Mytho and Dios ARE THE SAME PERSON. I don't think I need to say more.
1. Revolutionary Girl Utena/What Not To Wear: Someone. Please. COME SAVE THESE POOR CHILDREN FROM THEMSELVES.
Feel free to suggest more! OR TO LINK ME if any of these actually exist. :D

bookelfe: BECCA: Wait, where are we?
EMMY: I seriously have no idea.
GEN: @_@
BECCA: Everyone you love will die.

BECCA: I told you guys! Ominous portents! Now we're DEAD.
GEN, reasonable: Yes, but you never specifically warned us against childlike mirror fish ladies.
EMMY: Just the rainbow. But even then you didn't say the rainbow would grow fangs, descend from the sky, and chase us into the scaly embrace of the childlike mirror fish lady.
BECCA, dignified: I did not say it wouldn't do all of these things.
EMMY: Do not make me get the mandolin again, Becca.
BECCA: @_@ NOT THE MANDOLIN!
GEN: *pinches bridge of nose, makes creepy postmortem tea*
EMMY: *exudes sexual menace*
GEN: *spikes tea*
CHILDLIKE MIRROR FISH LADY: *overcome with regret for her choice of creepy postmortem companions*
I am sure that
