#and also homura does that

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.

Basically Doc Scratch's superficial personality and story role resembles Koizumi's while his internal worldview resemble Yuki's. Homura's internal worldview resembles Koizumi's while her external persona and role in the story resemble Yuki's.

If you get it you get it.

I don’t know how to put this but…honestly, it feels like some people in the pmmm fandom see madoka as nothing more than extension of homura…? Like don’t get me wrong, I love madohomu and I think their dynamic is very interesting.

no, my problem is with people who don’t see madoka is an inherently important character to the story and only see her as interesting and important because she’s important to homura.

does that sound right????

Another day of thinking about the inherent horror of Sayaka's regenerative abilities.

She cuts off the head of a Witch and it lived, much like how I think that if Sayaka herself got hurt to that grievous degree, she would somehow survive. Unlike Mami, Sayaka's soul gem is not in her head — Sayaka lost an entire arm once and that arm was readily in place of the lost one even before it tore off, with the speed that allowed her to catch her falling sword on time. Kyoko herself remarks along the lines of how Sayaka should have been set back three months in a hospital after fighting her, but she only needed a few seconds to regain her bearings.

Sayaka's healing speed is legitimately absurd and incomprehensible, and it feeds into her self perception of being "a zombie", since if she had been "normal", she would have died from the wounds she received.

obviously in homura matoba does natori a huge favor (though it also comes with perks for himself) but there's another way to look at it. if in miharu natori was offering to help matoba bear his burdens, it doesn't seem that matoba took him up on that. he sat on the bench of i hate my life and dissociated about it, because so much would have to be different for him to accept that offer in the way it was being offered. he would have to be different. but natori coming to him in the homura arc and saying i need you, now we're talking. other than when they first met and matoba said he was looking for people he can use, since he got to know natori what he's been saying is use me use me use me. but all natori has done is reject him, even when it clearly makes natori weaker and less able to meet his goals. as the clan leader matoba has so many people he can (and does) use. and the dynamic that he has with those people is not the one he wants with natori, nor the one natori was offering in miharu. but if natori uses him? that's different. that's a reciprocation of sorts, a bid for connection. that's natori reaching out and saying, i see you, i value you, we can be equals.

A miraculous victory

[rubi-e]

I just watched rebellion for the first time, and they went and did it- they made Homura 1000x worse with the trama they put her through. Which is crazy considering what she and to endure the entire anime, like how???

The show writers must really hate her, huh

[ellipsiseffervescent]

'Homura only helps the girls to make Madoka happy' bro literally where do you pull this theory? Do you think that she consciously chose who to bring into her labyrinth? Why are you just making stuff up?

[starshine-valley]

HUH? WHAT’S THE TIME? IT’S TIME FOR HAPPY !! SMILING !! VVONDERLAND!!

Here’s the silly’s designs of Happy !! Smiling !! VVonderland !! In all their glory!! They’re the other group who got new hairstyles since the hairstyle change is usually helps with how their characters in their performances get portrayed. Usually, they do their hairstyles like that though :)

they’re having a PowerPoint/google slides night

[hydropophis]

the amount of things my brain has inserted hualian into at this point is astounding. tloz. pmmm. ffx. the epic of gilgamesh. More

[automatic-purification-system]

So! Quick thoughts about movie poster-

The girl in the leggings isn’t homura. Like, it is, but it isn’t, because there’s one thing that Homura’s hair has never been, in any incarnation, and that’s curly. Not-homura’s hair in front of her shoulders is curly (hard to see but it’s there)

[perenlop]

last magireco bitching post for tonight i promise but i think all those people who complain that sayaka and homura are abusive and horrible and unreasonable for the crime of being manipulated and traumatized 14 year olds in awful situations and arent perfect little victims about it should go watch magireco and have their brains implode bc i think yachiyo is like. so much worse

actually natori has some kind of tracking talisman on matoba at all times. that's how he knew where to abduct matoba from for Operation: Kitty Cat City. matoba fully knows about it; it's why he wasn't at all surprised to find a paper doll in natsume's hair after the mask youkai debacle (matoba internally as he watched it fly away: classic mother hen shuuichi-san momence 🥰). because this is matoba "boundaries? what are those? can you eat them?" seiji we're talking about, he's not bothered by this "violation" of his "privacy"; rather, he finds it fittingly clingy (it is, after all, only right that natori should be keeping tabs on him obsessively). sometimes the talisman gets confused and sticks to yesterday's outfit, so he always checks to make sure he has it on the way out the door (his pocket patdown is "keys, lighter, wallet, exorcism supplies, shuuichi-san's cute lil tracker he thinks i don't know about <3"). i wouldn't be surprised if he's figured out how to uno reverse it and now uses it to track natori's location as well. this may not technically be canon but it is probably all 100% true in an important way that transcends canon, we just never hear about it because it isn't relevant to natsume's journey 😌
