That photo of Tsutomu makes me irrationally happy. I just wanted him to find something, anything, to make him happy—something he could enjoy, something he could like about himself, something that could make him feel like he belonged. It seems like Ayase came at just the right time. Who knew that the stupid flipped-card match would probably be the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

Is it possible to really love a character? Then if so I love you, Taichi. I’m happy when you’re happy, I’m proud when you do well, I’m critical when you’re being stupid and I wish desperately for you to find what it is you really want so you can pursue it with your whole heart.
I’m ten minutes into the new episode.
I’m so proud of you, Chihaya. Natural talent? Good game sense? What do these things mean when, for every victory, you’ve had to fight tooth and nail? “It must have been hard,” as Dr Harada says, and I’m sure it was. I’m so proud.
It’s too simplistic to say that people start to believe what’s written about them. But what happens is that you become a certain way to please people, to be liked, to be what’s expected of you, to change yourself so that you become the best possible version of yourself for people who don’t know you. And I think that’s a terrible, pernicious thing.

“As soon as teenage girls start to profess love for something, everyone else becomes totally dismissive of it. Teenage girls are open season for the cruelest bullying that our society can dream up. Everyone’s vicious to them. They’re vicious to each other. Hell, they’re even vicious to themselves. It’s terrible.
“So if teenage girls have something that they love, isn’t that a good thing? Isn’t it better for them to find some words they believe in, words like the ‘fire-proof and fearless’ lyrics that Jacqui wrote? Isn’t it better for them to put those words on their arm in a tattoo than for them to cut gashes in that same skin? Shouldn’t we be grateful when teenage girls love our work? Shouldn’t that be a fucking honor?
“It’s used as the cheapest, easiest test of crap, isn’t it? If teenage girls love a movie, a book, a band, then it’s immediately classified as mediocre shit. Well, I’m not going to stand for that. Someone needs to treat them like they’re precious, and if nobody else is ready to step up, I guess it’s up to us to put them on the path to recognizing that about themselves.”

Every now and then, something comes along on your dash that opens your eyes and makes you question assumptions you didn’t even realize you were making.
This former teenage girl fell in love with Rush, RPGs, Russian literature, ancient history, sci fi flicks, and Led Zeppelin. I’d say she had pretty good taste. So why have I always defaulted to marginalizing or dismissing the tastes of other teenage girls? Why have I always counted the large teenage female presence in fandom as a black mark against it, or at least something that needs to be explained or surmounted for older fans to participate or engage? Why have I assumed that teenage girls as a whole are incapable of critical analysis or meaningful engagement with the same media that I enjoy, when it was the critical analysis and meaningful engagement of a teenage girl that got me into much of the same media I enjoy now?
Wow. Talk about not even recognizing the patriarchy at work.

I think I like the commentary above more than even the quote itself. It’s cool when just a quote can make people really rethink their positions.

Hmmm, what did I love as a teenager? Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, Jane Eyre, English history, dancing, bike-riding, my parents, (sometimes my brother), Robin, Cindy, Kyra, Jay, Derek, Nik Kershaw, Tears for Fears, John Hughes movies, T.S. Eliot movies, L.M. Montgomery, Louisa Mae Alcott…
Nothing I don’t still love.
