Okay I know this has been brought up before, but my heart absolutely breaks for Homura in the main series. Like this girl was just trying her best.

No matter how many times she went back, she kept growing further and further away from her friends, the people who welcomed her with open arms.. how painful must that be. Comparable to real life, because it does happen.

And I read a phenomenal Mami/Homura story that paints her reality beautifully. Homura kept going back and it was a different outcome every time, some of them were good.

(Also I like to headcanon that one of the timelines was mostly happy and the quintet were all great friends. One day they take a group photo and Homura keeps it in her shield to this day)

thinking about the fact Madoka's first wish was to save a little black cat named Amy, an act of kindness that would change everything

according to one of the drama CDs, Amy is the one who guided Homura to Madoka during Walpurgisnacht in the original timeline, leading to Homura traveling through time for 10 years to save Madoka and in the process making her the center of the universe with her love, allowing them to overcome the cycle of grief

I choose to believe they adopt Amy when they move in together, a happy family built on love and kindness 🩷💜🖤

love and hope and kindness being the running motifs in madoka magica and the forces that can single-handedly save and curse someone.

madoka’s love and kindness being what saves homura from her suicidal tendencies, but also what ultimately dooms madoka to die at the hands of the walpurgisnacht. homura’s love for madoka and undying hope to save her what curses her to repeat time and traumatise herself over and over again, while also increasing madoka’s karma and by default, cursing her too. madoka’s refusal for homura’s hope to be in vain being the driving force that grants hope to all, but also ends madoka’s existence. sayaka’s love for kyousuke and her altruistic, heroic ideals being what gives her confidence and hope at first, but when confronted with misogyny and unrequited love (even when you told yourself you would not expect him to love you back just because you sacrificed yourself for him) being what curses her. kyouko’s love for her family being the catalyst that leads it to break apart, because in all her childlike devotion to her parents, she couldn’t see her father for who he was. mami’s kindness forcing her to put up a brave face and resulting in her demise.

but it all does not end in despair! sayaka’s newfound love for kyouko being the reason kyouko is no longer lost and angry and alone. mami’s kindness finding a recipient in nagisa, to whom she can finally be a parental figure. in one universe nagisa was the one to end mami’s existence, but now they can both heal and not be alone anymore. madoka’s love for homura encompassing time and space and saving her, every time, over and over again. even when homura does not want it. even when she refuses her hand. madoka will always reach for her and find her and save her and show her kindness, even when homura thinks she does not deserves any, even when she’s willing to die in her own personal hell. homura’s love being yes, what commits the unforgivable sin and tears god apart, but also it is only through her “selfishness” and “terrible” act that the others get a shot at a normal childhood/adolescence. kyouko and sayaka can be together at last, mami and nagisa find each other, madoka can live with her family again.

this is what i hope will be explored in the next movie. this intrinsic relationship between hope and despair, love as a lifeline and a curse. kindness and selfishness coexisting and influencing each other. i hope the girls manage to finally tip the scale between hope and despair towards the light. i hope madoka’s love will keep on reaching homura even when she thinks she’s evil incarnate, a devil. even when she thinks her existence as antithetical to madoka’s true nature. even when she thinks herself beyond salvation. i hope they get a shot at happiness, together this time.
