Just like I’ll read the same premise over and over again, I will follow this same habit in writing ✍️

few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again

[bitchliteraria1906]

Trying to write about how Kyoko and Homura being religious affects their characters but I'm not smart enough to make it coherent.

CANNOT get over the fact that homura is just out here using real guns. mami's guns are fucking magic. homura stole real actual guns from human men. she built those real bombs in her actual apartment

"I Love This Little Life We Built"

I find the torchlit ending of the Epilogue to be the best among them, even beyond the gorgeous Danse Macabre, because it is the truest to the twin natures of you, it is the ending that both of you would choose for the sake of the other and yet it is the ending in which nobody wins. Though perhaps the Long Quiet in a diegetic manner does not understand that the Princess is yielded to the Shifting Mound every time she feels the starlight of the world enter her eyes, we the player (if they were indeed to get the torchlit ending) are, crucially, all too aware of that, and I would assume that is the predominant reason that we would choose the "stay with her" option rather than the "leave with her" one. With regards to the Deconstructed Damsel, it is a different story, but to some extent the same logic of "protecting her from those all-powerful hands" remains a priority.

So though you may not leave together, lest she be taken and the love story be destroyed and begin anew, you can at least remain together. But the Princess wants to leave, she wants to see the world and, to some extent, be wrapped in those cold arms, she wants to abandon her vessel and join the conglomeration. She wants to commit suicide. But you prevent her, and, because this Princess is pliable to her core, she reticently accepts that. But she is unhappy with this. She does not understand that she will die, and the Long Quiet does not have the words and knowledge in order to explain it to her. And so she is unhappy, she does not understand why she cannot leave and she does not understand why she must stay trapped within her hell. Why she must live. And, of course, the Smitten cannot bear that, everything goes dark, and we die.

We appear in a place where she has, in part, come to terms with the fact that she is unhappy, that she will forever be unhappy, because just as we are willing to bear the heartbreak for our partner, so too is she. And so she smiles with a melancholy fondness and allows us to participate in this life that we put together, she, though we have denied her for what seems like no reason at all, continues to love us. She entertains us, she feeds us, she engages in conversation with us, she portrays herself as happy for our sake. And we too, we smile all the while as the food grows rancid, as the games grow boring, and as apathy eats us alive. Because to leave with the Princess is the death and rebirth of her, and we cannot allow that to happen. And Smitten, the same one to kill us in the beginning, almost begins to understand this. He takes care of the Princess and traps her both, just as we do, and she does not understand why, only that he genuinely does care for her yet still hurts her in this way.

And finally, rather than making the other unhappy, we each sit in our own unhappiness forever, each one of us insufficient in totality, yet utterly devoted to the other. She cannot understand us, and we cannot understand the pain that she is going through. But we grin and bear it, because an eternity of this is still better than death for her. We have become the Narrator, and she has too, just as the Danse Macabre is the ultimate rejection of the Narrator. We love her, she loves us, and because of that, we damn ourselves to an eternity of nothing, each of us secure in the knowledge that the other one loves us, and that we love them, and we waste away in decay.

And in the end, the hands take her nonetheless, all our agony so vain.

Not sure if this qualifies as a valid question. Obviously any magical girl from Madoka could kill Macbeth, gender clause. BUT. Do you think that a magical girl with enough potential could wish for a man of woman born to kill Macbeth and it could happen?

Yes, Madoka Kaname from Puella Magi Madoka Magica could kill Macbeth!

In the anime, Kyuubey states that Madoka has become powerful enough to alter the laws of the universe itself if she wished for it. I would say this is definitely enough to count as a Unique Exception, being able to circumvent Macbeth's prophecy, though even if you don't agree for whatever reason, she herself still could do to the Gender Clause.

Madoka Kaname was also submitted by @the-library-of-forgotten-endings. Thank you both for your submission!

Very busy so i spat out a crenny timelord doodle for day 3 sorry crenny nation day 4 i will cook 🔥

[biggesthomuradefender]

every time someone mischaracterizes and misinterprets homura as only caring abt madoka, an angel dies.

edit: and nvm just in rebellion, isn’t it literally confirmed that she originally attempted to save all of the girls, only for them to keep dying, so she eventually gave up?

keep in mind that it’s confirmed homura has gone back in time and relived the same torturous, unrewarding month at least or over 100 times, which is apparently equivalent to 9-12 years.

no wonder she’d eventually stop trying and focus much more on her main goal, aka saving and protecting madoka. it was most likely the only way she was even able to stay (somewhat) sane throughout the main series.

I decided to gather up some of my favorite anime art styles for funsies, and tried to order them from oldest to newsest. I’ll be listing them in order in the tags, incase anyone is curious which anime they are from. Here they are:

Ranma 1/2 art style in the anime changes pretty drastically. Tbh I prefer how the characters look in season 1 - 5 vs the later seasons. Specifically I like when the characters have bigger eyes, but still have a dog nose, like in this image I used. I would have put Urusei Yatsura, but I thought I’d just say that Rumiko Takahashi’s art in general is one of my favorite art styles, and most anime adaptations of her works would be here too..

I put the Ocarina of Time manga here, but I do mean all the TLoZ mangas by Akira Himekawa. Heck her art in general is beautiful!

There’s definitely other art styles out there too, but these usually come to my mind. Doing this made me realize that I like early 2000s anime art styles more than I realized.

madoka magica said "the two people to whom you are most important are 1) your best friend who is emotionally dependent on you in a lesbian way and 2) your little brother."
