I don't know how to feel about Homura

( Before reading this, please no, I do not hate Homura, nor do I love her, and all of this is my personal speculation of her character and her actions. Please do not take anything to heart. I would like to hear your opinions as well)

When it comes to Homura, I don't feel strong emotions like love or hate; instead, I feel indifferent. I understand that Homura's primary goal is to save Madoka, but at what point does her determination cross a line?

In Madoka's witch form, we see that the various leg-like structures symbolize different timelines where Homura repeatedly tried and failed to save Madoka. This raises the question: Is Homura ultimately doing more harm than good? On one hand, she's protecting Madoka from Kyubey, but on the other, she's sacrificing everyone else in the process.

I'm not saying Homura doesn't care about others — I believe she does — but she's become so accustomed to witnessing their fates that she's grown numb to their suffering. From what I gather in the anime, it feels like Homura doesn't just want to save Madoka — she wants to be the one who saves her. While her actions are driven by love and concern, there's also a selfish element at play.

When Madoka ultimately became a god, she wasn’t happy about it. It wasn’t a choice she wanted to make, but she knew it was necessary to ensure no other magical girls would suffer as she and her friends had. It was Madoka's empathy and compassion that led her to sacrifice her humanity, creating a world where magical girls would no longer succumb to despair and become witches. Was this an easy decision? No. But Madoka accepted the consequences, fully aware of the sacrifices involved. To her, it was worth it — she would rather endure sadness and misery than allow others to go through the same pain.

When Homura realized Madoka had become a god, she went back in time to try and prevent it. In doing so, Homura rejected and disrespected Madoka’s decision. While her intentions may have been out of love and concern, she ultimately disregarded what Madoka wanted — a world where no magical girls had to suffer as they had. Homura couldn’t accept that fate for Madoka, even if it was what Madoka chose for herself.

Madoka once said something to Sayaka that highlights this point: "I know this isn't the way you thought things would turn out, but I do think it's the way you would want it to be. Your wish was a precious gift, and you sacrificed so much for it. I have to honor it and respect it because it wasn’t meaningless." Madoka sacrificed everything for that wish, and I mean everything. Homura failed to extend that same respect to Madoka's decision.

That said, I understand why Homura acted the way she did. If one of my dearest friends was in Madoka’s position, I know I would struggle to accept it too. Even if it meant disrespecting their wishes, I would do everything in my power to stop them from enduring such pain. As a human being — especially as a teenage girl — I can’t blame Homura for trying to change fate. Love is powerful, and it can blind us to reason. It can make people act selfishly, recklessly, and dangerously. Homura’s actions are the ultimate proof of this.

Homura once said, "Because I finally remembered all the times I repeated history, got hurt, and suffered over and over again — all of that was proof of my feelings for Madoka. So now, even pain is dear to me. It wasn’t curses that spoiled my soul gem... it’s something you have no chance of understanding, Incubator — it’s the pinnacle of all human emotion: more passionate than hope, deeper than despair — love."

Love can change a person — not always for the better. While it can be kind, generous, and uplifting, it can also be dark, destructive, and overwhelming. In Homura’s case, her love for Madoka consumed her, driving her to make dangerous choices without regard for herself and anyone else.

That’s why I’m conflicted about Homura. I recognize that her actions are wrong, yet I also understand why she did them. Homura and Madoka’s relationship is complex — one person is clinging to the past while the other has sacrificed everything for the future. Homura refuses to let go, while Madoka has willingly given herself up for the greater good. It's a tragic dynamic, yet deeply compelling.

So, guys, you remember this, right?

Well, those were concept designs I had for Telemarketing, however, I changed it. Tbh I feel like this won't have the same repercussion the first design did, but I feel more good with this. So here's the final design:

Feel free to share your thoughts/opinions, etc... Believe it or not, it was hard for me to change my original idea, but I wanted to do something that I feel better with and I thing I managed to do it haha

First, It was Barb was doing night checks on wayne manor cameras surveillance pt 2

Previous post pt 1

She was in a bit of awe when she saw the newest very rare exotic flower Alfred got bloom under the light of the full moon, revealing beautiful crystallized like petals blossom, only for her widening eyes to take noticed of a tiny little pixie like child to pop his little head out of the center of the flower.

His hair was unnatural white fluff like a dandelion in her opinion, eyes glowing an otherworldly green, freckles that sparkle like the stars themselves, ears a bit long and pointy, wearing a odd clothing with a needles strapped to his back, that she could barely catch in camera, the static buzzing sound from her cameras was making it a bit difficult to hear what sound the tiny little fairy boy made as he floated above zooming around the garden a bit like he was excited.

It made barb's inner child squeals, screaming, flipping her tiny princess table at the possibly of Nederland being possible.

Curious little bug, floating around like the fairies in Disney like except of the Glow pixie dust like she seen on the movies, he left a trail of blueish green light that faded away rather quickly with the way he was flying into the slightly opened kitchen's window...

Wait a goddamm minutes..

Barb immediately switch cameras to the kitchen, looking around, only to see it went through the hallway already, switching cameras again, checking the living room, the hallways, only to catch a glimpse of trail glow zooming around.

Crap crap. OK, no need to panic Barb. What do curious pixie like fairies out in the human world.. bring the season right?!, play with children like that Bell fairy did? Finds and take lost things and secretly repair lost things?..! Fairies are weak without pixie dust, they don't live long without it, each fairies has a different part of the seasons, and if you don't believe in them then they immediately die and that cause imbalance in the world without their influence unless you truly believe in fairies to bring back one fairy.(she went through a whole fairy obsession phase as a kid, she still mourns the lost of the create your fairy open world game)

The fairy must've Found a new type of pixie dust to fly without wings if she could recall that one sequel with the new pixie dusts colors thing..?

It was like a game of Where Waldo except where the little mythical fairy boy that couldn't possibly- no no barb don't think about the taboo words, if you think about it and this poor mythical being dies due to your words then the guilt will haunt you Forever.

3 hours in the catch the glimpse of the fairy boy, flying back at to his little flower holding a tiny cube of sugar, a shiny tiny object that she can't get a clear of, and a plump blueberry the size of his little head as he lands in the petals that were closing around him. Crystallized back close as if to guard this little fairy being with its own life.

Right when the full moon glimpse was gone out of the sight of the garden from the sky when the smog cloud from the city covering once more.. Barb is writing that down in her notes..

[mozart-the-meerkitten]

Been rewatching the early Marvel movies and apparently this is the time of my life where I just get re-obsessed with characters I love so here's some random thoughts about Loki/Thor the Dark World:

Why. In the world. In the universe. Did Odin not ask Loki ANY questions when Loki was brought before him for judgement in Dark World? Like, at the BAREST MINIMUM he should have asked where Loki got an ARMY, the last time he'd seen Loki was when Loki fell off the Bifrost and then he vanished for a year and showed back up with the glowstick of destiny and an army that Thor says "are not of Asgard or any world known". ODIN. WHY ARE YOU NOT ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS?!

Like, we are aware that Odin is. partial to giving his kids harsh punishments. He obviously doesn't care about Loki's motives. Like, a good parent would look at their kid who disappeared for a year and then came back insane and be like "hey so what happened to you when you disappeared? you didn't get captured by a super powerful being and tortured into submission did you?" (Thanos tortured Loki I have SOURCES and I WILL cite them upon request) But even a bad parent who was a decent king would wonder how their kid suddenly got an ARMY out of NOWHERE and yet Odin never questions this at all. Even Thor in Avengers at least asks Loki "Who showed you this power? Who controls the would-be king?" (which just shows Thor would honestly be a better king than Odin tbh) but Odin is just like "nah this is not important. imprisoning my son for life and telling him how worthless I think he is is more important in this moment."

I wonder if she'd had more time if maybe Frigga would have been able to get Loki to tell her what happened and if maybe that was part of her goal of visiting him (beyond just, you know, actually being a decent parent who cares about her child and wanting to keep him company) because we know she's clever (she's smarter than Odin good gravy, is there like an age difference between them is he going senile or something) so PERHAPS she thought if she talked to Loki she could puzzle out what had happened to him and find out if there was, you know, a potential universal threat Asgard should be aware of. And like, if she had found out anything what was Odin going to say? He can't actually punish his wife in any meaningful way (lol imagine he tries and she just grabs her two grown sons and leaves, help xD) especially if she found out IMPORTANT INFORMATION that he SHOULD have discovered on his own.

This does kind of highlight an underlying problem with Odin, where he seems to think that Asgard is invincible and is, well, lazy about defending it. Like, I've seen posts about how Loki letting the Frost Giants into Asgard in the first movie is actually him not just showing that Thor is not ready to be king, but also demonstrating that Asgard has dangerous holes in its defenses. Because yeah, Loki can HIDE HIMSELF FROM HEIMDALL and sneak into Asgard. Heck, he can sneak OTHERS into Asgard while he's not even WITH them. That- that is a security threat, because if anyone BESIDES Loki could do that then Asgard could easily be invaded and- wait a second, that happens in The Dark World! The Dark Elves hide themselves from Heimdall and sneak an invasion force into Asgard! Destroying it's defenses and KILLING ITS QUEEN. Like, my goodness, do you think Loki is the only person with these abilities? Are you even trying Odin? At all?

TLDR; Odin is an idiot for not questioning Loki about the Chitauri/where he was for a year between Thor and Avengers, not to mention an awful father and an incompetent king.

I don't really like SasuSaku

(I don't hate Sasuke, I just my opinion on the relationship , please don't take anything to heart)

As a longtime fan of Sakura Haruno, I have always believed that Sasuke Uchiha did not deserve her. Their relationship is deeply toxic, and while I can appreciate their friendship, Sasuke as a romantic partner was a terrible choice—not just for Sakura, but for anyone.

Throughout the series, Sasuke repeatedly disrespected Sakura, emotionally distanced himself from her, and even attempted to kill her on more than one occasion. If this were a real-life relationship, everyone would be urging Sakura to walk away because that is the common response to toxic dynamics like this. Despite all of Sasuke's past misdeeds, it feels as though he hasn't fully repaid the damage he caused. Unfortunately, Sakura seems to have been dragged down with him rather than thriving as she had the potential to.

In "Boruto," the limited moments showcasing their relationship reinforce this imbalance. Their so-called "date" lasts only a minute, and Sasuke's prolonged absences mean that Sakura is essentially raising their daughter, Sarada, as a single mother. This further highlights how one-sided their relationship feels. Sasuke’s constant disappearances make it hard to see how he's genuinely invested in his marriage or family life.

I genuinely believe that Sasuke's redemption arc would have been stronger if he had remained single. Choosing solitude would have allowed him to reflect on his actions and the harm he inflicted upon those who loved him. In my opinion, forcing a romance between Sasuke and Sakura was a misguided attempt to "reward" Sakura after years of being disliked by the fanbase. She underwent significant character growth, becoming a strong, independent kunoichi who proved her worth through skill, determination, and resilience. Pairing her with Sasuke felt like a betrayal of that progress, as though all her development was cast aside in favor of an unsatisfying romance. Sakura's journey should have ended with her realizing that her strength and accomplishments were enough; she didn’t need a relationship to feel validated or complete.

On top of that, I firmly believe that Sasuke’s punishment for his crimes was far too lenient. He committed numerous atrocities, harmed innocent people, and betrayed his village. While he may not have directly participated in Orochimaru's experiments, he was complicit in many of Orochimaru's actions and aware of the horrific deeds being committed. In my opinion, anyone involved in Orochimaru's schemes, regardless of their eventual alignment, should have faced harsher consequences. Attacking a Kage or threatening the stability of the shinobi world is an unforgivable act, and Sasuke's minimal punishment does not reflect the gravity of his actions.

I don't hate Sasuke, but I believe he was let off the hook far too easily. Some mistakes can be forgiven with time, but others leave scars too deep to ignore. Sasuke's redemption should have been a longer, more challenging journey—one that prioritized growth, accountability, and reflection rather than rushing him into a relationship with Sakura. In the end, Sakura deserved better than to be burdened by someone still struggling with his own demons, and Sasuke needed more time to fully reckon with the damage he had caused.

I feel like nothing good in my life ever lasts

so whats the point of trying if everything is always temporary

[gale-dekarios]

I know Gale is good at fingering. The spellcasting handiwork? Speaks for itself tbh.

It's all fun and games until he casts fire bolt directly into the bussy 😔

But fr tho, they don't call them magic hands for no reason. Not to mention, and I believe this with my whole heart, that he'd be so goddamn cocky about it too. He wouldn't let that slide. He'd have you pounding the fucking bedsheets, exhausted, sweating like a sinner in church, and I know he'd be fucking grinning about it. And that's before we even talk about the rudeness. Gale Dekarios does not strike me as a one and done motherfucker, and you should not believe him when he says 'just one more', he's planning on breaking you.

[mothwingwritings]

WOW!!! I LOVED "The Innocent Act Of Dredging Up The Past", IT WAS VERY GOOD!

I wonder how Y/N reacted when she found out she was pregnant and how Fox allowed herself to keep the baby because he doesn't seem like someone who likes sharing attention.

Thank you so much darling!!! I am so glad you asked me this because I have been thinking about Ren as a father nonstop since that request. My brain has been full of many thoughts and opinions and I am happy to have an outlet for sharing lol. That being said, forgive my blathering. ^^;

(18+ and warnings for noncon, pregancy/baby birthing talk, incredibly unhealthy relationships, abuse, and being kidnapped/held against your will.)

Being impregnated by Ren would be absolutely dreadful for you, causing you to spiral into a pit of fear and despair the moment you miss a period or begin to feel queasy in the morning. With the signs starting to show, your brain comes to the instant conclusion that you are with child-his child, and it frightens you like nothing else before. At first you try and convince yourself nothing is wrong, that you are probably just late due to stress, and your upset stomach can be any number of things, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are pregnant. Any of your symptoms can be explained away by something else, so in an effort to try and maintain your sanity your brain churns out explanation after explanation, no matter how nonsensical they may be, in hopes of calming your rampant nerves by coming to some other resolution. A stream of constant lies and false reassurances play on repeat in your brain, forcing the thought that you may actually be a mother to the farthest reaches of your mind.

But the longer you wait and the more you dwell on it, the more you are faced with the inevitable. He never wears protection, you haven’t had access to birth control, and despite your warnings of it being a delicate time of month for you, his base instincts always won out in the end. There was nothing else this could be.

Faced with the reality of the situation, you were now tasked with the burden of sharing the news with Ren. You didn’t want to tell him, terrified of what his response would be, worried that he would somehow blame this all on you and hurt you because of it, quite possibly worse than he ever has before. But an even more horrifying concern than that is if the news actually pleases him. What if he wants to keep the baby? What if you were forced to carry this pregnancy to term while trapped in this grim environment, left to raise another human that shares half their dna with a man who has done nothing but cause you irrevocable damage?

No matter what the outcome, none of them are favorable.

But you didn’t have a choice, and you knew it was better to break it to Ren sooner rather than later, lest this whole nightmare become irreversible. In the event he saw things your way, you wanted this thing out of your body as soon as possible (though you loathed to consider what strings Ren would pull to achieve this, and what backwater procedure would be done to do so).

At first Ren brushes it off, not truly believing your concern. He’s had sex with you countless times without protection and just now you get pregnant? Seems suspicious, so he concludes you’re either overreacting or trying to get a rise out of him, potentially both, and that in and of itself riles him up. Are you telling him this as some kind of ploy? Are you using a false pregnancy as a means to get him to ease up on you a bit or as an attempt at escape? After all you had gone through together, after all the love he has lavished upon you by sharing his home, his life, his heart, with you… Would you really tell a lie like this?

He struggles with that possibility. Despite his inclination to feel otherwise, he has a hard time believing you would use a pregnancy scare for your own selfish benefit. You have always been a good girl, his good girl, and deep inside he knows this is not something that is within your nature to do, even if he does have some major doubts.

So, though he doesn’t truly believe your claims, he buys the pregnancy test more as a means to shut you up and prove a point than because he actually believes you. Needless to say, he ends up biting his tongue over that one.

When hit with the truth, his emotions are mixed. On one hand, he wants nothing to do with children or child rearing. He didn’t have to do much of a self-assessment to recognize he would be a shit father, and he never particularly wanted to be a father to begin with. His own upbringing wasn’t the best, he himself never really having a father figure that was worth a damn to guide him or show him any love or support. He had no parenting manual to go off of, and was sure that a culmination of having no positive family experience and maturing into the warped individual he had become led to no other conclusion than NOT being cut out for fatherhood in the slightest.

More than that however, the thought of sharing you, even with a life he helped create, really REALLY pissed him off. Thinking of all the nights you would be spending tending to the baby when you could instead be wrapped up in his arms, or all the attention and affection you will be giving some inept kid that could instead be going towards him, truly gets under his skin. He doesn’t WANT to share you. You’re HIS. And while a baby isn’t going to change that, he doesn’t want the needless competition to begin with.

But on the other hand, having a baby does have its appeal. It would be nice to bring a life into this world that loves him from the get-go, completely relying on him while being totally oblivious to all that has happened in the past. That sort of pure, blind love is hard to come by in this world, and the fact that he could obtain it so easily from a life he created with you, a human that has your blood running through its veins, is EXTREMELY appealing. And on top of that, you are sure to love the child whether its conception was wanted/planned or not. If you loved a child that was half his for the remainder of your life, would that not bind you to him for just as long? Though he didn’t doubt your loyalty (or his ability to keep you tied to him with no hope of escape), it would be a nice assurance to have in the rare event things did not end up going his way.

Once that thought enters his head, it’s over. No further thinking or future planning is required-he is going to be a father, and YOU are the beautiful mama! Congratulations! (Does he get off to you being pregnant? Did this pregnancy make Ren Hana realize he has a breeding kink??? Sources say yes and that’s your problem to deal with now. :))

♡

Holding his newborn for the first time, he has never been so nervous. Tears flood his eyes as he watches the small bundle squirming in his arms, his heart aching as they stare up at him with wide, pure, inquisitive eyes. He was no stranger to ending lives, but creating them? This was something entirely new, as exhilarating as it was scary. His smile grew as he stared at her small face, pleased that she looked so much like you. He could only hope that her personality would mirror yours as well.

♡

As time passes and the baby grows, you find out quick that Ren has a very ‘hands off’ way of parenting, which is to say he relies on you to do most of the work. And honestly, he feels that is fair. He’s the breadwinner who works hard to provide for you and the newborn, which leaves all other parental duties in your capable hands. You are left to be the child’s main caregiver, their guiding force to lead them through life, their teacher, confidante, and friend. It’s a daunting task, all residing solely on your shoulders.

Ren won’t readily admit it, but he much prefers it that way. All the abuse that he has suffered through from an early age, every heinous act of violence that has been carried out by his own hands (your wounds, included), all of it has turned him into something unrecognizable, something grotesque. Even if he wanted to have more of a presence in his child’s life, he knows he doesn’t deserve it. If he had too much sway in the kids development there’s a good chance they will grow up to be like him in some way or another, which would be a waste of all the love and hard work that you had put into raising them into being an upstanding person. Ren had made peace with who he had become, but that didn’t mean he wanted to keep a cycle that someone like Strade had begun going either.

So, the baby more or less becomes your soul responsibility, and god is that a burden for you. It’s bad enough that you have such little support from Ren to begin with, but the fact that this is YOUR first time being a parent as well makes it all so much worse. You have no idea what the hell you are doing, and with Ren making sure to keep you as isolated as possible you had no one else to turn to for help, either. It was just you and this brand new life with no one else to rely on, if you fucked up in even the smallest way it could be devastating to the baby. If your daughter got truly hurt, sick, or worse in your care, you didn’t know how you would live with the repercussions, let alone handle Ren’s reaction.

If your life with Ren hadn’t already made you a strung out, nervous, irritable wreck, being a mother certainly would. As she continues to grow, Ren refuses to discipline the child at all, not wanting in any way to appear like a ‘bad guy’ to your daughter. Given the circumstances, part of you is thankful for that (you honestly don’t know what you would do if he turned his ire towards her), but it also just makes things more difficult with you. You are already beyond stressed about trying to raise a child in this type of environment, having no united front and constantly butting heads makes raising her that much harder, especially when any kind of rule you attempt to establish can so easily be overridden by her father who has no remorse over the frustration this causes, nor care as to how his flippancy may affect your child’s development in the long run.

It’s also not lost on you that being the sole disciplinarian also paints you in a less than favorable manner in your child’s eyes, something you are sure Ren has thought about as well. Being the ‘strict’ parent means your child will be more likely to hide things from you, or seek out her father instead of you for support, approval, and advice. Given whom Ren was as a person, this thought didn’t sit particularly well with you.

All you can really hope and pray for is that somehow despite the lack of social interaction and outside influence she will grow up to be a decent human. Even maturing under the delusion that her father is a noble man, even if in some instances you have to make yourself the villain, as long as it helps her out in  the long run you’ll do everything you can to insure your daughter lives the best life she possibly can, whether her father helps you or not.

I think the REAL problems will begin when the child gets older. When she truly comes into herself and forms her own opinions, develops her own personality, and starts to forge her own way of life… It’s gonna be messy. :/ Your child’s autonomy is definitely going to be a point of contention for Ren in the future, and he won’t be so pleased if/when she catches on to his true nature and begins to rebel or straight up reject him. God forbid she tries and join forces with you or attempt to become your savior. It’s going to take a lot of cunning on her end to make it out unscathed.

Also, I kind of touched on it previously, but Ren would be incredibly horny the whole pregnancy. Not that he isn’t already incessantly slavering over you, something about seeing you round and full just makes him snap. Which is scary in its own right, Ren isn’t the most gentle of lovers to begin with and has a tendency to lose himself more often than naught, hurting you in the process. It’s a constant struggle to satiate him while protecting yourself and the unborn baby, best of luck to you! :D

(And he’ll definitely breastfeed from you. He’s gotta make sure you are producing enough for the baby, ya know? :))
