If ya’ll know Madoka Magica you will understand how beautiful and haunting the art of the witches that show up on screen are.

LIKE

It’s gorgeous.

That unsettling feeling of seeing something beyond yourself, beyond your sense of consciousness and knowing that this could very well be your grave.

It’s a labyrinth of feelings, of misery, of regret, and wanting that traps its victims in a forever.

You know what else is unsettling?

Death.

Death and ghosts and everything beyond it.

So imagine with me then, that the Infinite Realms and those ecto-born and ecto-contaminated don’t see the ghosts the same way.

Amity Park and its residents see the invading ghosts as close to their real form in life as they are in death.

Those not touched by the Infinite?

They see them the same way as witches. Unnatural creatures that unsettles the mind and environment to allow the ghosts access to the living world.

Maybe that’s why Maddie and Jack Fenton do not see ghosts as sentient things. They have seen them as humans see them, things filled with misery and pain, stealing from those too foolish to wander in the Ghosts domain.

The GIW are much the same, seeing the ghosts as the ‘witches’ they are, not what they were.

Danny doesn’t realize how unsettling he truly is, no one in Amity Park baring the Fenton parents and the GIW do.

Not until he is summoned on his first official Kingly summon, unaware of the looming gaping horror that stood staring back down at the humans that lived outside of Amity Park.

This moment is fascinating to analyze cause it reveals some interesting things about Danny's perception of himself. Fun Danny views Super Danny as someone burdened with responsibility due to his ghostly powers who have no family because of that duty. But Super Danny still sees the Fentons as his family despite being a full-time hero who isn't burdened with a double life. This is especially ironic given that Dark Dan doesn't seem to care about them and even actively try to ensure that they die so that he can be created. Though as seen in A Glitch In Time, we learn that he does miss his family.

Super Danny also thinks that Fun Danny is a disappointment to their family due to their irresponsibility, which implies that Danny himself believes that his family views him as a disappointment. I love how such a seemingly silly episode provides so many interesting insights into Danny, which was later capitalized to its fullest in A Glitch In Time.

Was re-reading AGIT for the millionth time and noticed something very... interesting.

There are multiple times that characters call Dan Danny, and every single time he directly or indirectly corrects them.

"I'm not Danny."

"Not anymore."

"You forget... I'm more than that now."

(Another fact to add is that each time they call him Danny (or Daniel in Vlads case), the name is bolded.)

WITH ONE EXCEPTION.

Not only is the name not bolded, Dan doesn't correct Jazz on calling him Danny. He allows her to call him Danny, something that he doesn't even let Danny himself do without interjecting on it. which like. is just a veryyy specific yet heart-breaking detail. man let her dead-name him cuz shes HIS SISTER. JAZZ. (technically) :(

(Also Dan doesn't correct Val either (it's also bolded), but he just says he is Danny and then leaves, so I'm like 90% sure he's just doing it to Fuck With Her Specifically in that scene, and isn't actually bothered by it there. you could also argue it's like a mutual respect thing from her being the last protector of Amity Park from his timeline but ehhhh.)

Sonic X was real smart for making Chris be the one who snaps Shadow out of his false memory driven revenge spiral. He perfectly represents the conflict within Shadow towards human beings, the constant struggle between rage and love. Shadow looks at Chris and sees the selfish thoughtless people who took away his family, but he also sees the selfless determination to protect loved ones that Maria had. And ultimately, the latter wins out as Shadow’s true memories and true nature both return.

Yesudas is very great at making wine.

Yesudas: In the meantime...Grab a seat. What'll it be?

Punch: Maybe something like berry.

Yesudas: You mean wine right? Here we go, Shiraz (also known as Syrah), deep-red wines that are usually full of dark fruit with a peppery finish.

Punch: Umm...tastes of raspberry and black pepper, with a distinct floral note like violet or lavender.

Yesudas: Well? Most people would say something sweet right about now.

Punch: Hehe. I'm sure they would.

Yesudas: And the next one is from Cana of Galilee.

Punch: Oh, you mean a wedding day? You and your mother are going there, right? You will be fine; a great job at wine.

While listening to this song, I made this art of how they accept the way they are while knowing the consequences will bring to their life even if they're normal.

Punch: I'm so sick of being perfect! I'm never good enough for this world! That's why I hate everything!

Danny: I knew that feeling that way all the time, but it isn't true. As I said, you're pretty normal. You're not broken, you're just like a normal girl.

Punch: Even seeing this as normal, I can still live? Do I have a right to exist?

Danny: Of course, Punch. Because you exist. I have a will to live in this world. You're you. That's what makes you normal. Because you're different, you're normal. After all, you were born into this world.

Punch: Being yourself, makes you normal.

.

Sonic: Is it wrong if I am different? Even though I am different, I am still normal. Maybe you said I had everything but the truth was, I actually did not, Tails. Even if I am perfectly fine, but I am different from anyone else. But this is still called normal because I made many friends.

.

Gilgamesh: That's why I chose not to change no matter how much I hate myself. If I continue to be "me", I can be a "star" that guides people like the northern wind. No matter how much I knew I never be normal I could still be normal. This is what to be myself, means to be true to yourself. It means to always strive to be your best self to live your best life.

Of the decision, Punch made for herself, her mind shares with her brothers to keep on moving forward by being proud of yourself just only you're alive, you gave many lives happiness and hope even if you're different. That's why;

Sonic hates everyone said to themselves that they have no meaning in living or sacrificing themselves or destroying themself. That's why Sonic wants to give them a second chance, unlike him, Punch, and Gilgamesh will vanish someday.

Gilgamesh: You're the one who did help me. Because of you, I can be moving forward. You did help me a lot.

Sonic's the moon that shines like a star in the darkness that one day will cover everything. Gilgamesh's the sun who shines bright even his armour is so shining but without knowing how the heat can destroy his life span without knowing but continues to shine. Punch's the star but no one knows there's a star that shines all alone and keeps light and darkness to exist without knowing.

Punch: Yes. That's right! So stay with me! Stay with me and be alive for every second that you can! To tell the truth.....your brother doesn't understand any of this world and all suffer that you two had been through for me. Just don't disappear on me again! Don't leave me alone again! I tried so hard for you two to exist too.......

Sonic & Gilgamesh: .......................

Punch: You two......stay with your dearest brother......
