Princess Tutu (anime)/WMG: Difference between revisions

Fakir's mother--shownmother—shown in a brief flashback in episode 20--looks20—looks remarkably similar to Rue (for being seen only in shadow, anyway). Also, on Autor's family tree, the person that he identifies as Fakir on the tree has a sibling...that's been crossed out. Rue was kidnapped by her family as a baby, and so doesn't remember what they were like. Fakir has suppressed most of the memories before his parents died, and he and Rue are also close in age, so if she ''is'' his sister it makes sense why he wouldn't recall her. Also, if you compare how the two looked as children, they appear very similar. (Although, admittedly, it could just be due to the art style.) As one last final interesting tidbit, Fakir appears briefly in the background of Rue's flashback of her childhood when the story goes backwards in episode 23--you23—you can see him fighting attempting to fight off crows with a toy sword to save a small animal (possibly a cat).

He's the first one in akt 23 to realize that the story is going backwards--Fakirbackwards—Fakir has to ask him what's going on, and Drosselmeyer seems (pleasantly) surprised by the story going backwards, as if it's never happened before. If it hasn't happened before, then Autor couldn't know about it through research alone--inalone—in actuality he can sometimes ''hear'' the story being told because of the vague bits of Drosselmeyer's DNA that's in his blood. This also means that his claim that he heard the Oak Tree sigh is actually true. (Probably it was sighing in exasperation from how insane the kid tapping into her roots is.)

However, he's too distant of a descendant to be able to control a story through pen and ink--heink—he's cursed to be able to hear the words of Story Spinners, but never truly become one himself. Or, alternatively...

This is one of the reasons why Fakir can write about Ahiru, and why Drosselmeyer has such a difficult time controlling her--sheher—she's Fakir's character, not Drosselmeyer's. Tutu, however, is Drosselmeyer's character. This means that the ''girl'' Ahiru is a character shared between the two. (And also why Fakir has to call out her true name, and not "Princess Tutu"--he—he has no power or right to call one of Drosselmeyer's characters out from his realm.)

Not my theory--thoughttheory—thought up by Tomoyo on the LiveJournal community. Notable because this was confirmed by [[Word of God]] at the Princess Tutu Cast Party held at Ushicon. This is why Edel and the Oak Tree repeat similar phrases.

Or Kyon, depending on if you believe the theory in Haruhi's WMG. This is the source of her reality-bending powers--althoughpowers—although, of course, she's a prodigy that has refined the Story-Spinning powers beyond the level that Drosselmeyer and Fakir reached. She no longer even needs a pen and paper to use her powers!

Pretty straight-forward. Drosselmeyer writes tragedies that become reality until his characters rebel. Karen Eiffel is a writer of tragedies that become reality until one of her main characters contacts her and asks her to not kill him. Of course, Karen isn't nearly as cruel as Drosselmeyer--aDrosselmeyer—a descendant that Drosselmeyer would probably be disappointed in.

Autor is careful to note that one of the Story Spinners on his family tree is "the man who saved my father when he was a boy." That was the even that lead his father to be obsessed with Drosselmeyer--heDrosselmeyer—he started much of Autor's research, and trained him to become a Story-Spinner. (If you combine this with the theory above that Autor is an actual descendant of Drosselmeyer, it's possible Autor's father purposefully married into the family if he wasn't one himself.) Much of the (really weird) ideas Autor has about what one needs to be a Story Spinner were actually taught to him as a child--whichchild—which would mean that, yes, Autor's father made him stand in the middle of his study for three days without sleep or food. (Which also [[Freudian Excuse|explains]] why Autor is rather...interesting.)

== The [[Princess Tutu (manga)|''Princess Tutu'' manga]] is a [[Fix Fic]] written by Autor. ==

With The Tradition, individuals are forced down paths already chosen for them until they a) accomplish their "happily ever after", b) die, or c) have something else happen that allows them to break from it.

== The narrator that speaks at the beginning of each episode is the REAL''real'' author of the story. ==

== Drosselmeyer, Fakir or one of their descendants created the [[Death NotesNote]]s and maybe the shinigami too ==

Once his heart is restored, he is the [[The Wise Prince|glorious ]] [[Prince Charming|ideal]] of the [[Knight in Shining Armour]]. He is self-sacrificing to a near suicidal degree (even before he was [[Emotionless Girl|emotionless]] ). In Rue's flashback, we seen her as a little girl while Mytho still looks the same as he does at the time of the series - it's as though he doesn't age. Once fully awakened, he is able to save the woman he loves and defeat ultimate evil. [[Revolutionary Girl Utena|Dios]] is described as "That which is eternal, that which shines, the power of miracles, the power to revolutionize the world..." and is shown as having been around since a golden age. He, too, has temendoustremendous powers of swordsmanship and defends the world form evil , at a great cost to himself. {{spoiler|This could mean that Raven!Mytho is in fact Akio. }}

== ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' and ''Princess Tutu'' occur in the same universe ==

With all the similarities and [[Fractured Fairy Tale|f* cked up fairy tales]] running around, it's no wonder. The former takes place in Japan and the latter takes place in Germany.

...he decided to leave town to find his place now that it was finally physically possible, somewhere along the way his mental instability increased before finally, er, "stabilizing" at its own odd point in its own odd way, his obsession with the all-powerful Drosselmeyer ended up as some kind of [[God Is Evil|segue]], his paranoiasparanoia led to him using an alias for whatever reason, and he ended up as a <s> cultist</s> priest in the town of [[Silent Hill]].

== Lilie is Kinkan Town's [[Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei-sensei|Kafuka Fuura]]. ==

* Someone needs to write this fanfic.

* The system is ''[[Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game)|Changeling: The Lost]]''. Fakir is a Darkling Archivist who took up Talecrafting near the campaign's end. Duck is a Windwing BestBeast built as a social character. Mytho is a Fairest Dancer who's cursed with low Clarity. Rue is a Flowering Fairest, manipulating all those around her. Drosselmyer is a True Fae who plays with the world on his whims.

* But nearly all of that was hinted at early in the first season (and Mytho turning evil was set-up in the first) and [http://www.animenewsnetwork.comcc//encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1267 there was only one new script writer in the second season] who only wrote four episodes (Freya's episode, Hermia's episode, the episode where Autor was introduced and the "Danse Macabre" episode). Only one has significant development for Fakir/Ahiru (Hermia's episode features the love letter subplot), and the only other one that seems to fit this theory is {{spoiler|the Danse Macabre episode being the episode that Rue confesses her love to Mytho}}. Plus, all of the script writers and storyboarders from the first season were still with the show in the second season, and the creator, Ikuko Itoh, worked with the series the entire way through. The ''final'' nail in the coffin for this is the fact that the trailer for this series used to option the series for TV channels before any episodes were made features [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4_OOcdWQSo Fakir stealing a kiss from Ahiru] and is shippier than ''anything'' we see for them in-series.

The [[Princess Tutu Abridged|Abridged Series]] agrees. A recent{{when}} episode has Drosselmeyer complaining because the "Shipping Bridge" has focused the plot on Evil!Mythro and not the Heart Shards. Duck notices that after she made the wish on the bridge, Fakir was a lot nicer but doesn't think much more of it.

** It's a '"duck-to-swan'" metaphor, so that's probably true.

** It's also [[Older Alter Ego|genre-appropriate]].

== The Raven is responsible for [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s ''[[The Birds]]''. ==

== Drosselmeyer was taught Story-Spinning by [[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini|Featherine Augustus Aurora]] ==

The King Cat in ''[[The Cat Returns]]'' keeps trying to get Haru to marry either the Prince or (at the end) him. However, [[Take a Third Option|a third option is taken]]. Somewhere down (up?) the line, Mr. Cat was born and ended up in Kinkan town where things got... Screwy.

== [[StarcraftStarCraft|Dark Voice]] is [[Princess Tutu|The Raven]]. ==

{{quote|* Black... thing with [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red]] [[Glowing Eyes of Doom|eyes?]]<br />

* Captures a good guy lady and [[Mind Rape]] and invokes a [[Painful Transformation]] to turn the lady into an evil evil evil puppet?<br />

* Uses mindless drones. This one differs a little since the [[The Virus|soul-raped]] [[You Will Be Assimilated|victims]] are pretty much used exclusively by The Raven (crows) while the Dark Voice's Zerg can make some ([[Redshirt Army|Infected]] [[Cannon Fodder|____]]) but don't have to.<br />

* Drones tend to [[Zerg Rush]]. }}
