Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi prints I made a few years ago. I still really like these, but my art has def grown the past few years.
Might be selling these prints on my upcoming shop at a discount.

Man, the telepathy in Madoka Magica isn’t touched on much but there’s something so… insidious about the way it works. The power to do so is through Kyuubey. You can have your private conversations but you can never hide from the all hearing Kyuubey. He will eavesdrop when you talk out loud and he’ll hear directly if you use the one method that should be private. Whatever information he can get to manipulate you. The fact he gives this power to non magical girls who are considering it just gives him another way to talk them into it.

I absolutely adore Madoka Magica, but there is one aspect in particular that did rub me the wrong way, and that was Kyuubey's reason for targeting teenage girls specifically, namely that they are "the most emotional," supposedly.
Now the Doylist reason for this is that they need to fit genre conventions; it is called the magical girl genre, after all.
However, I'd propose a potential alternative Watsonian reason for why Kyuubey targets the girls specifically, one that is not based in gender essentialism.
Basically, since the spectre of patriarchy has long plagued most of world history, being a teenage girl usually also meant having no power or agency in your life. Kyuubey, being the dispenser of Faustian bargains, can exploit this helplessness by offering a way out of that kind of situation. Thus, teenage girls are just the most vulnerable targets for Kyuubey on account of society rather than something intrinsic to being female.
So yeah, thankfully it's just one throwaway line, but that's how I resolve that gender essentialist aspect in Madoka Magica.

Symbolism and Meaning in Madoka's New Teaser
Madoka's transformation begins with golden tears flowing freely from her eyes. No doubt a reference to her drained up divinity. Nevertheless, an interesting way to showcase it and I'll explain why in a moment.
As everyone has already pointed out, her outfit is very much an adapted version of her concept movie design. Chain & lock aside however, something about it feels incomplete. Stuck somewhere between her old and new dress and seemingly can't decide witch way to go.
Gloves & Shoes - Original Design
Skirt & Top - Concept Design with some Original influences
That makes sense as Madoka herself is stuck in a limbo between her old memories and the ones forged in Homura's Universe. The locket showcases her supressed side.
And of course, there's Kyuubey. All seeing and constantly watching.
My guess is that the Incubator, unsatisfied with the World at Homura's fingertips, will try to lure in the singular being capable of standing up to her: The Law of Cycles. Which also offers him another chance to gain control over its power.
What better way to attain his goal than to introduce Madoka to magic again?
The most interesting aspect of the entire sequence for me, however, is the static phone line that accompanies it in the end.
Betweem Homura's phone motif in the Trailer and Madoka's aforementioned tears, could this symbolise Madoka trying to reach out to Homura and grasping nothing?
Remember, she ended the call in the Trailer. There's no one listening on the other side anymore.

Forever love the phenomenon of people seeing the intense burning hatred Madoka fans have for Kyuubey and asking “What did the poor little bunny kitty do to deserve this?” Then experiencing the show and proceeding to want him eviscerated.
