one thing i find really funny about the pmmm community is how everyone has kind of grouped together in the opinion that homura isnt a bad person, that she has done no wrong
and i agree... somewhat
spoilers under the break!!
despite her being my least fav of the quintet (no reason, i just like everyone else a little bit more) she is probably my favourite in terms of writing, and i enjoy her character a LOT.
shes handled very well, and everything she does makes sense with the context provided. shes well rounded and well thought out, and as she is only 14* everything she did makes sense.
* [i know the timeskips in total are supposed to add up to 10ish years, but she didnt mature mentally/physically as she was simply living out the same month.]
shes not an adult, shes not fully developed, the events that she had to live through would scar and destroy anyone, let alone a girl who was already very unwell - physically and mentally
but a lot of her actions WERE wrong.
she did a lot of things wrong.
thats the whole point of the show.
every character (maybe excluding madoka?) did something wrong. they fucked up their wish. they were selfish. they didnt think about it hard enough. they didnt take enough care of themselves properly. they acted rashly.
because theyre children. because theyre immature.
the incubators specifically target those that are unstable, teenagers, as they generate the most emotional impact.
why do they make the biggest impact?BECAUSE they make the wrong decisions.
thats what madoka magica is about - facing the consequences of your actions, selflessness and selfishness, growing up, discovering the twisted nature of the world,
and making the wrong decisions.

I hope someday kids don't have to fear coming out to their Catholic families. I hope someday they're raised being taught the whole truth, that while actions are sinful and the Church cannot condone them, feelings and temptations are not, and that God doesn't love them any less for something they can't control. I hope when they start to feel these things their immediate reaction isn't "oh no, my parents will kill me if they find out" but, "I need to talk about this with my parents". I hope someday it's no longer treated as the worst thing a person could be, or something that needs to be hidden. I hope someday they don't feel unwelcome by their parish, that they know they belong there just as much as anyone else. I hope someday they're taught that a celibate life is not a punishment, but a beautiful way to live a holy life- not just for lgbt people, but for anyone who chooses it, and that it's no longer looked at as a lesser option. I hope someday they can confidently turn to their loved ones for support and guidance, and not have to carry this alone. I hope someday lgbt Catholics are loved in the Church like God loves them.

Question for you, on the subject of SPOP ships: would you have been okay with Glitradora (essentially the poly trio) being a thing, had Nate Stevenson decided he wanted to go that direction? I'm just curious as someone who loved how the Catradora arc was done in the show.
(And for the record, I understand your indifference towards both Korrasami and CaitVi--the latter will need some more seasons in the oven to really flourish, while the former is severely hampered by the constant executive interference Nickelodeon pulled on LOK during its original run.)
if glitradora were made canon i would have eaten my own face (/pos) my god the CONCEPT,,, the DRAMA,,, the DYNAMICS,,,,, that would have been my roman empire actually
also agree w everything you say here indifference is a great word for it. caitvi i actually see the potential in them i don't dislike the pairing it just rlly isn't compelling to me. i actually felt a little,,, weird about it? it felt like it came out of nowhere to me?? which i know isn't true but something about it just strikes me as Rushed idk (vi is still one of my favorite characters though)
as for korrasami i lowkey feel bad hating on it bc i KNOW how much the network screwed over the writers about it, but like,,, man i don't even see the potential in this one ahgakjsdas. i will admit though a big part of this is just the general writing of tlok i felt wasn't great so the character dynamics seem sorta weak to me. i AM glad for what they did for representation in kids' cartoons though and i'm glad ppl are having a good time shipping them. the fanart is gorgeous also
