#and then there was the massive pmmm/ouat crossover i started and GOT IT OVER 50K OF SET-UP

[aparticularbandit]

so - i keep wanting to pmmm/jtv fusion and keep splitting rose and clara into two separate characters to get the following:

luisa -> madoka

rose -> homura

clara -> kyouko

but then i run into the other two characters and i hit issues:

susanna -> sayaka????

but no because sayaka makes her wish to heal a dude and susanna's a lesbian. sayaka should be het or bi or pan.

which leads to:

petra -> sayaka????

which works a little better because then you can also go the madosaya route where petra and luisa can be besties and also people ship that so that kind of works and also goes back to when petra was in love with raf so it. kind of. works. especially if you make jane the third bestie hitomi who stabs sayaka in the back by planning to confess to their mutual guy love interest but you know. POSSIBILITIES.

also you end up with the nice clara/petra parallels because you cannot tell me that there are not parallels between rose and petra's situations because there are.

but then you end up in wait clara's in love with petra???? territory which gets. i mean. you can go there. but. does anybody go there. and you also end up with petra's not a classical knight type character whose head is full of heroic ideals she wants to live up to. so. oval peg and round hole. almost????

and then we get to mami.

like seriously what do we do with mami.

the closest i can get to this is:

mami -> jane

because they're both the mom friend and also mami canonically - in spin-offs, i think - analyzes the shit out of war tactics and then applies that to witches and takes notes and writes stuff down like mami is a veritable genius and trainer and organizational amazing woman.

but then you run into mami trained kyouko and they had a huge falling out after mami saved kyouko's life and while, yes, you can fake a huge jane/clara falling out - if you want to go back that far, if you want to have that very clear clara->rose moment, which you kind of shouldn't hear because they're being used as two different characters but maybe???? - but also. as a huge kyoumami shipper. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

but like. no one else really fits for mami personality-wise. maybe petra. but petra is not warmth and hot chocolate and blankets and fireplace in the middle of winter mom friend and that's mami. (jane isn't really either but she's closer to it.)

AND IF YOU WANT FUN SHENANIGANS, you can take clara out of the picture, and do this:

petra -> kyouko

jane -> sayaka

which actually DOES work because then you get jetra like you get kyousaya (what is this ship portmanteau i don't think that's quite right) and you have jane sacrificing herself for a guy (that fits) and all heroic protagonist ideals (also fits) vs. petra who is more world weary and has done these things and also used to living in poverty and now just takes things as payment for, you know, helping to save the world (kyouko is a cynical imp and i love her????) but also is disillusioned so much she can't use her special magic anymore--

LIKE THAT ONE WORKS.

BUT THEN WHAT DO I DO WITH MAMI?????
