More on Fakir/Ahiru
First off, my Princess Tutu article was posted yesterday, and as I've said a bajillion times now, I'm very proud of how it turned out.

I actually posted it on LJ before submitting it to theO. Check out the comments! I got a couple very, very insightful responses; one actually convinced me to reword a short section of my article draft.

Also, browsing through the Princess Tutu community, I stumbled upon this equally well-written and even longer Fakir/Ahiru analysis. In it, the author makes a very intriguing point on how Fakir and Ahiru's relationship reflects the courtly love seen in Medieval times:

"The knight serves his courtly lady (love service) with the same obedience and loyalty which he owes to his liege lord. She is in complete control of the love relationship, while he owes her obedience and submission... The knight's love for the lady inspires him to do great deeds, in order to be worthy of her love or to win her favor."

Okay, I'll stop now. XD

EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention, I now have Comcast cable. Which means only one thing to me: I can now watch Samurai 7.
