I was stupid…. So stupid…

What’s wrong with you?

self indulgent homusaya!!! I like it when they hate each other

tears from the left eye signify pain and heartbreak

watching from the outside

I am a demanding creature. I am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable. But i am your servant. When you starve I will feed you; when you’re sick I will tend you. I crawl at your feet; for before your love, your kisses, i am debased. For you alone, I will be weak

doomed by the narrative

theyre the same character i swear

does she have depression?

submit your own characters here to be featured!

reason: Genuinely just the entire second act of the anime. That girl is depressed and she hates herself. She was driven to despair and became a monster due to said despair because she hated herself so much. She couldn't live up to the unreasonable standards she set for herself, said herself she was an unlovable zombie, and didn't feel like she had a purpose past fighting witches. She needs a therapist

im not fully coloring this but they're very similar characters imo and they'd be friends once they got over their downward spirals. i think.

I always see Togachako as Madohomu but i think Togachako as Kyosaya fits both their characters more and is personally more compelling to me.

But I also just prefer Kyosaya more narratively than Madohomu so maybe that's just my preference talking.

It bother me so much that people misunderstand sayaka miki's descent into madness in madoka magica. She doesnt become a witch "just because of a boy." Sayaka is a character who ties all her self worth into being in service of others. We can see this right from the start with her idolization of mami and everything that she was. She saw mami as this "perfect hero" even though mami i would say is mentally the weakest of the holy quintet. In the timelines where mami finds out about the incubator's true goals she always immediately breaks and goes crazy, trying to kill the other girls in her own twisted way of trying to "save them". Instead of seeing the fragile person that mami was, sayaka instead sort of treats her as a martyr, a goal to achieve. We continue on to sayaka's magical girl wish. Instead of wishing for something for herself, she instead sells her soul for the sake of kyousuke. Then when he starts dating hitomi she spirals not because she's sad about the rejection but because she feels replaced in his life, that he doesn't need or want her around anymore. Then she throws herself into her magical girl work not seeing that she's harming herself because she justifies it with "well im saving people that means what im doing is a good thing." She doesn't see that she's becoming more sloppy, more ruthless until its too late. It's only in the end when she turns into a witch that her story gets resolved.

Sayaka Miki is an incredibly sad character to me. While her actions have the illusion of being selfless and "for the greater good" she is actually incredibly selfishly motivated. Everything she does is in service of wanting praise and admiration from the people she cares about. If she helps kyousuke he'll appreciate her and love her, if she becomes a hero she'll receive praise and admiration for being a good person. This is why it is important that of all people it was kyoko that fought sayaka in the end. To homura, sayaka is someone to be saved. To mami, sayaka is her sweet apprentice/younger sister figure. To madoka, sayaka is her energetic and happy go lucky friend. Kyoko is the only one who from the start called sayaka out on her bullshit, seeing straight through her. And at the end, kyoko is the one who truly accepts sayaka. Sayaka as the witch Oktavia von Seckendorff is stated multiple times in official material to be "looking for love." In the end it it kyoko who gives her that love. Even when sayaka has lost her humanity it is kyoko who accepts her for the entirety of who sayaka is with all of her selfishness and desires. She is the one who sees what sayaka has become and stays together with her till both of their ends. Kyoko choosing to die with sayaka is her saying "I'm here for you, i know all of you, and I will love you regardless."

idk who needs to hear this but SAYAKA MIKI DID NOT LOSE IT JUST BC SHE WAS REJECTED BY A BOY

(Character-based SPOILER WARNING for Sayori from "DDLC" and Sayaka from "Madoka Magica")

If I had a nickel for every time a teenage girl whose name started with a "Say" had short unnaturally colored hair, blue eyes, was childhood friends with the protagonist, fell into depressive state, and was from a Japanese piece of media, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

(I accidentally added the 3rd GIF; please pretend it doesn't exist)

Actually I thought about it for the first time a few months ago

Madoka: bow

Mami: guns

Sayaka: swords

Kyoko: spears

Homura:
