New PV for Magia Exedra!

Interesting to note, the youtube PV is in english, and an english twitter account has been opened, so i believe that confirms an english version of Exedra at least! Additionally, we see Iroha, Yachiyo and some memoria art in here so are they reusing memos perhaps?

Finally, Magia Exedra will have a news livestream on the 2nd of July at 8pm JST.

They have announced that it will cover the VAs for Kyubey and Iroha.

It has also been revealed that the transfer code from MagiReco will be discussed in this livestream.

Can you imagine being Hitomi from Madoka Magica though. You have two best friends and everything's great. Then, the two of them start getting secretive and leaving you out. You like one of their childhood friend. You give your friend a heads up since you respect her so much. Then she just straight up goes missing. Your other friend won't or can't tell you what happened. They find her body and nobody can tell if it's a suicide or murder or what. You never know whether this is your fault or if you could have done something to prevent this.

"People are creatures who cant live without loving someone. But since they're creatures who can't love something that's strange or revolting, then by process of elimination, they can't live without loving something they can love."

It's her. The meat woman.

tbh, I don't really know anything about her asides from the stuff that I read on her wiki / Birth of Authority from Wish document and stuff that people in the fandom have said about her, so idk how accurate this would be to her lol but I think I have a gist for what her deal is XD

For Capella, I was going for a kind of butcher aesthetic, but with some touches of demon / dragon elements because iirc she transforms into a dragon at some point (also I think she already has a demonic vibe to her + just... how she is in general), and she 'butchers' people's bodies into grotesque shit. That's also the reason why her weapons are meat cleavers, to go with the whole 'butcher' theme. I also wanted to have a sort of clashing of cutesy / risqué elements in her outfit to go with the contrast of her appearance versus her personality, hence the ruffles + bows in her outfit paired with the latex top, gloves, and pencil skirt. I had no idea what to do with her at first, because her outfit in canon is literally just. A bikini. And some other shit. Aside from a color scheme I had no real 'theme' to go off of, just scantily clad outfit. I was at first gonna go for something like a mad nurse / surgeon vibe cause of how she alters people, but being a butcher just fits so much better for her and goes with her vibes really well. Also I think she's been called 'meat woman' in the LN or WN before so it makes sense lol XD

The authority from a wish document basically says that she wants to be loved by everyone and believes that people only love someone's appearance / looks are all that matter, so she wants to make everyone else around her look disgusting so that they only love her, and says her 'wish' is to turn others into something revolting, so that's what she probably wished for, giving her the ability to transform herself and others into whatever she wants.

[feelingsilly2day]

um silly au of fiore again :p

please ignore the genshin one ☹️ and the fact I cannot draw ruffles 😣

anyways thank you for looking at my silly au :33

[dalesbianfoppishdandy]

so the thing about Rebellion that's so good is that like. what homura does is essentially the same as what madoka does. they both sacrifice themselves to create a world where everyone except for themselves can be happy, it's just that the end of PMMM is framed as a noble sacrifice while Rebellion is very, VERY explicit that Homura is sacrificing herself because she hates herself and thinks she deserves to bear the sins of the world. It really feels like Rebellion is taking the idea that the end of the anime is a good ending and rubbing our noses in it by making it explicitly clear that madoka wouldn't be happy as a God AND showing another self-sacrifice thats pretty explicitly framed as suicide (look at everything about homulilly's design.) homura calling herself the devil is less because she's actually a cosmic evil and more because she hates herself so much that she feels like *ANYTHING* she does is evil. Anyways I'm excited for Walpurgisnacht

[kiwisandpearls]

In my opinion of you frame Homura as doing nothing wrong in rebellion I feel like you’re actually doing more of disservice to her character.

I just personally think there’s a lot more interesting conversations to be had if you frame her actions as “she is a desperate girl who wants to protect she one she loves to point she’s willing to do a very morally nuanced action that has been shown to not be permanent and will not hold forever plus in a sense is willing to go back on her own negative feelings towards those who try to bastardize her loved one’s wishes” instead of if you frame them as “she was actually totally right to do that and did nothing wrong.”

How Steven Universe Changed my Life

Aside from Ben 10, the one show I've posted the most about on this blog has been Steven Universe. I know my story may not be that unique but SU has meant a lot to me which is why I've defended it so passionately. For me, SU helped me become a better person, pushed me to explore different interests and helped me realize who I am.

I first watched the show when it was airing and I didn't know how to feel about it. Sometimes I liked it especially episodes like 'Jailbreak' or 'That Will Be All'. Other times, it felt too much like Clarence or Uncle Grandpa with the rougher episodes like 'Frybo'. As time went on I slowly stopped caring about it, partially because of the long hiatuses and because I started to think it wasn't good. At the time, I held some homophobic beliefs because of the culture I was raised in. I, thankfully, never watched Lily Orchard's video but I did watch a similar essay by Misanthropony which was just as bad.

Around 2 years ago, I started getting back into the series. At the time, I was a lot angrier and was a bit of an edgelord. A lot of that was anger at the evangelical community I was raised in and anger at feeling helpless. Kids and teachers at that school held a lot of homophobic beliefs and would often make gross jokes or talk about beating up trans people in the bathroom. I felt like a black sheep at the time, being one of the few poc there and being a dinosaur lover when many kids were creationists who'd lecture me about how wrong that is. Talk about parenting was what got me interested in SU again with the episode 'Mr. Universe'. I never finished the show so I decided to give it another chance. I started watching SU clips on YouTube and one of the first I watched was "Stronger Than You". For someone who felt angry and helpless, that song gave me something to feel happy about in that homophobic environment.

SU soon became my favorite show and I began rewatching it all the time. Characters like Lapis, Garnet and Steven quickly became my favorites because I could relate to them and because Ruby and Sapphire were important to me like most lgbtq youth. 'Mindful Education' became important to me because it helped me control a lot of my anger issues. Before, my interests were "edgy" guy things like the Star Wars Prequels and Jurassic World. But, I began to be more comfortable with enjoying "girly" things. A Wrinkle in Time became one of my favorite sci-fi books because it made a cameo in SU which pushed me to read it. By that time I had moved to a different school and was able to connect with other kids at a Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) and was able to figure out more about myself without shame or as much fear.

SU was the jumping point for a lot of my current interests. Since many in the fandom liked The Owl House for its similar themes and queer rep, I decided to watch that and came away loving it with Luz and Willow being characters I could relate to. I got back into Ben 10, which I also watched growing up, because of its similarities to SU, being a anime inspired show about a magical alien boy protecting humanity while dealing with normal adolescent issues. SU was also very anime inspired which pushed me to give it another chance as I used to think it was cringe or dumb. Thanks to SU, I became a fan of Makoto Shinkai's films like Suzume and Weathering With You as well as ghibli films like Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service. I also started watching magical girl anime with Madoka Magica and Princess Tutu being my favorites and am slowly getting through Sailor Moon. Some of my other favorites include Neon Genesis Evangelion, A Whisker Away and Ghost in The Shell. I do have an interest in watching Revolutionary Girl Utena, which was a big inspiration for SU, and The Promised Neverland as well. I also fell in love with Lisa Hannigan’s (Blue Diamond’s VA) music. All that was because of SU.

Over the past year, I've been figuring out my gender identity, starting with that GSA, and started to realize I was trans (MTF), which may have not happened without SU. It's why seeing the SU critical community bash the show for its representation not being good enough or calling it fascist makes me sad as it's been important for a lot of people like me. It's also why right wing fans, who do exist, irk me so much when they weaponize the message of acceptance and characters like Andy to demand people accept their homophobic beliefs. The show has shaped a lot of my philosophy about issues with relationships, seeing Greg and Rose leave their toxic families or Connie helping her mom, Priyanka, learn to let go and stop worrying. Some may hate him, but Future Steven is an important character for me as I can relate to his anger and once being a cheerful child before growing up more bitter and weary. I know that SU isn't perfect and there is some stuff I wish was written differently but I still love it because of how it changed and possibly saved my life. It helped me get through high school and gave me something to feel happy about in a world that's filled with hate and violence.

In short, thank you Steven Universe and thank you Rebecca Sugar. I wouldn’t be who I am without you.

My opinion on Slenderman (INCREDIBLY OPINIONATED POST)

(If you guys are curious about my take on him, check out my post on Slenderman headcanons!)

Alright, I like to call myself a neutral person when it comes to stuff like this but GOD DAMN WILL I DIE ON THIS HILL. Slenderman is one of my favourite characters (Zalgo my love I love you so much), and one of the reasons why I like him is that there is genuinely speaking, NOTHING CANON ABOUT HIM.

It kinda confuses me about how black and white his characterisation tends to be. It's either he's your Dad who is currently yelling at Jeff for getting blood on the couch again, or he's the Heartless Narcisisstic Evil Monster who loves NOBODY and cares for NOBODY. I can deeply appreciate both sides, but claiming one over the other absolutely is kinda dumb.

In fact, trying to claim anything concrete about his character is a losing battle. There's nothing canon you can say about him; he has no backstory, he has no motivations for anything he did, he has no personality, he doesn't even really have a canon relationship with any of the Creepypastas. Sure, you can claim that what he did in Marble Hornets is a sign that he's evil and manipulative; but couldn't you say the same thing for, let's say Kyubey from Madoka Magica?

I don't know if he (Kyubey identifies as a male apparently) is a good example, but the point of Madoka Magica is that at the end of the day you can't call him evil. He's a completely different species with a different set of morals and therefore you can't just slap a 'PURE EVIL' label on him and walk on your merry way.

That's exactly how I feel about Slenderman. You can't call him evil and just walk away; there's so much more to him then that. You can say the same thing about Lord Zalgo, it's just so boring and typical to label them as 'Good' or 'Bad' and then just never try to write them in any nuanced way.

He has no backstory, there's no canonical reason for why he's doing any of this. Is he even aware of what's happening? Is he aware that what he's doing is bad? Is he just a nonhuman who is apathetic to the idea of human emotions? Does he have a good reason for doing all of this, at least, good in his mind?

I get so pissed whenever I hear the 'Slenderman is canonically evil' bs sometimes. Yes yes I get it he's not this wholesome father figure who'll provide for your every need like your own parents never did, but is that REALLY the only other option when it comes to how to portray him? Come on guys lets get creative! My own idea isn't all that creative; it's just a mixture of both versions tied into one, but I seriously wanna see some headcanons of him that aren't either:

Version A:

-Slenderman is cartoonishly bad at being a father figure, or he's just the background character. Some real 'JACK ARE YOU EATING ON THE COUCH AGAIN?!' Shenanigans.

Version B:

-Slenderman hates you. Slenderman will use his evil little powers to manipulate you into like idk being his slave or some shit and you should hate him because that's who he is. HE WILL BEAT YOUR ASS SO HARD THAT YOU WILL BLEED. HE HATES EVERYONE. EVERYONE HATES HIM. COLLECT HIS PAGES NOW.

Yes, he has done shit, but do you know why he did the shit? Do you know this dude personally? Has he literally come up to you and said 'Ahh yes I love abusing mortals it gives me so much karmic joy'. Deadass did Masky tell you that he beats his ass himself? The only thing he wants you to do is collect his pages.

Also don't misinterpret this post because I fucking LOVE AUs that make him into a villain but like in a good way that I absolutely adore. But why slander him for a version of him that doesn't exist? How on Earth do you a slander a character that has no personality? That's personally why Vocaloid Slander is weird as well; because these guys have got no canon personality.

Slenderdad does not exist. Slenderman the evil eldritch does not exist.

Slenderman does not exist.

That's why he's cool. Because he's basically the blankest of all blank slates, write him as whatever you want but don't claim that it's canon or 'realistic' or anything like that. I guess I can kind of see why you could say that evil Slenderman is realistic, but technically that's ALSO a headcanon. I don't believe his actual creator wrote him a personality beyond the fact that he kills people, and thats it.

Have fun with the guy, because he, alongside Zalgo, are characters where you can genuinely say anything about them and nobody can say you're wrong.

Anyways that's my rant post of the evening hope you guys enjoyed, make sure to smash that like and subscribe button >:3

Also feel free to debate with me in any way shape or form, this might be a terrible take and I'm open to changing my mind at any time in the future. This is just my current take on things.

Kill la Kill 🤝 Revolutionary Girl Utena 🤝 Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Magical girls fighting monumental systems perpetuating the cycle of abuse, used by manipulators as a means to control the vulnerable, in an allegory of growing up in a harsh world while staying true to oneself.

[ccruelgods]

the way you gave everything to them is the reason for your fate.

didn't you refuse to confess to kyosuke because you wanted hitoshi's happiness? you tell yourself that it's because he could never touch you this way, inhuman and hollow, but there is something deeper, isn't there? something just as painful.

you can't stand seeing her frown. you won't stand seeing her frown. either of them. you'd rather kill yourself.

and didn't you, in the end? what is becoming a witch if not circumstantial suicide?

you would give up your life for someone you love.

self-sacrificial, you'd trade your happiness for those around you in a moment.

what a pitiful trait to have, as a magical girl.

[the-witchs-cafe]

Dr. Boris Habit from Smile for Me would turn into a witch in Puella Magi Madoka Magica!

Cause of Witchification: Trying to make the best out of his deeply troubled life - a life riffled with pain, hurt, shattered bones and teeth -, he tried to make everyone around him smile; his mind having made the connection between genuine happiness and good teeth. People like his parents and the other kids who have tormented him so all have beautiful teeth- why must they insist on frowning all the time? What have they done to deserve them?

He also wished to become a florist in order to achieve that dream and attain his own personal happiness, but his parents had forbidden him from pursuing that field and become a doctor just like them; whether that is due to possible classist beliefs or implied homophobia is currently unknown. Eventually, he ended up becoming one...he became a dentist.

He tried so desperately to make people happy; but, despite his best attempts, his patients would often run away oh-so afraid. His growing frustrations, his accumulating stress, his dissatisfaction with his job, and all his failures were weighing on his mind; it was just a matter of time before he finally cracked.

Also, have you even SEEN this game's aesthetic? If one hadn't known better, they would have assumed they've already entered a labyrinth.
