I've had a friend that was the Utena to my Anthy. When we finally parted ways, she told me that she'd done everything she could to "save" me and make me happy. Although I never said it outloud, I really had hoped for her to be able to make me happy, as well. I don't think either one of us realized until then that you can't depend on another person to make you happy or save you from yourself. It's something you have to do on your own.

(In other words, I agree.)

And I know what it's like to want a "this character" to my "that character"... even now, I'm sometimes guilty of fitting myself and the people in my life into roles based on fictional characters. But I think that sometimes fans with this sort of mindset can be so obsessed with finding someone to "be" a certain character for them that they miss out on someone who has the potential to truly compatible with them, and not just that character they want to pretend to be for a while.

Heresy! I mean, I agree. So much. Relating to characters and using them as comparisons, I get that, but I die just a smidge inside when people reduce themselves to being carbon copies of fictional characters, even if the characters are awesome. You're you. It's okay to be you. Individuality is good. Group hug!
