“Going Through A Madoka Magica Phase, Again”

I mean, I can see why it’d catch up to your brain again, it’s a wonderful show–

(ALSO NAGISA IS AMAZING)

I managed to ever so slightly become not as obsessed with Madoka Magica for a brief time before accidentally nosediving into allowing PMMM to consume my life for a second time. It's too good of a show: they need to put some safety labels on it.

Also I love Nagisa she is the most wonderful cheese goblin, she does nothing and yet makes two of the most emotionally impactful moments in the franchise and-

This is such an interesting concept and design! I love the blending of military and bee themes, all in a magical girl form (the capelet looking like a soldier's shirt is really cool!)! I love the implication of her being in the past (like a historia story).

Her story is very macabre (in a good way!): the concept of using a one-time-all-powerful-wish to bring back someone who comes back wrong- to the point they become an otherworldly monster only humanised by your love for them- is horrific and tragic in a lovely poetic way. The idea of loneliness for both parties is intriguing, and I'd love to see it explored.

New Puella Magi OC alert! Florence Barkley was just 13 years old when she made her contract with Kyubey. Her wish was to bring her older brother, Harold, home from the Great War. Little did she know, her brother was killed in action from mustard gas. Her wish, however, did bring him back home alive, but different. He came home permanently disfigured as a result from the gas. His skin was blistered and swollen beyond recognition, an eerie grey-ish green color, oozing puss all over. Viewed as otherworldly and a monster, he was kept away hidden in secret and rejected by his family, although Florence still loved and cared for him. She visited him often bringing him freshly made iced tea with honey she just harvested from her family's bee hives. Although, life isn't as sweet as honey as a magical girl. She must fight witches, after all. Her weapon is a bee smoker, but instead of the typical calming smoke, it is now mustard gas itself. She has to dawn a gas mask and work alone to be able to use her weapon. Fighting is lonely for Florence, she yearns to make friends with others in her situation, but she mustn't due to endangering others. She's alone, her brother is alone, and there isn't anything either of them can do.

HIII I HATH DRAWN THE PMMM SELF INSERT !! do you wanna see? :DD

YESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!

@strawberry-seal77

OK so you know how Mami was tracking the trail of a witch that one time with her soul gem? what if my magical girl's power was all about those trails !!

It'd be great for finding witches, and maybe other magical girls too :00 ? it could tie into cat-stuff by being a sort of scent trail >:3c

OH OH OH!!!! THAT'S SO COOL!!!

She could have a sixth-sense where she senses the presence of nearby witches (+ labyrinths and familars) and magical girls; and can specifically hone in on something she wanted to find!!!

OH THAT IS SUCH A GOOD ANALYSIS!!!

It's always been "Mami is the loving mother figure Nagisa/Bebe needs" however when you describe it this way, it adds another layer of complexity to Mami and Nagisa's dynamic.

They worked backwards from Charlotte to Bebe to Nagisa; so they probably kept Mami and Charlotte's fight in mind when coming up with Nagisa's story.

Nagisa has such a complex and emotional backstory (the one presented within Magia Record) and while I love the memes, I'd also love to see her analyzed the same way as the Holy Quintet girls more.

When it comes to Nagisa's relationship with her mother, it is clearly emotionally and verbally abusive in a very realistic way. Nagisa loves her mom. Her mom is still her mom despite everything, and Nagisa wants to love and forgive her. Nagisa also hates her mom; The mom who yells at her, is implied to hit her, and tells her she's wasting money and time. Nagisa tries her best to support and care for her mom despite everything; she acts like a hit dog still coming back to the hitter because it's all she has.

Speaking of dogs, I want to draw parallels between Nagisa and Inui. Kyuubey specifically mentions that another girl in similar circumstances* (*to Nagisa) wished to have the attention of the boy she liked; cut to Inui, who talks to Kyuubey about her worries with the Sleepwalking Ghost and her boyfriend. From this we can guess that Inui is impoverished, has a difficult relationship with her mom, and has the same goal as Nagisa; to be loved in a conditionless way by someone who endlessly hurts them.

Inui is a perfect parallel for Nagisa; Nagisa has become disillusioned with the concept of "love" to the point of viewing all fairytales and stories in a gloomy light; Nagisa has not been loved in the way a child needs to be loved, and so cannot fathom the type of carefree love shown in fairytales. Inui on the other hand is so desperate for the attention and love she hasn't gotten she's gotten into a relationship with (presumably) the first douchebag who showed any kind of interest in her; she craves a fairytale romance and to be swept off her feet by a prince and so in her mind Sho can't be anything but that prince. Both of them cling to their delusions and coping mechanisms while further being hurt by people supposed to love and protect them.

Nagisa resents her mother despite craving her affection; she considers using her wish to make her mom regret being unkind to her (a vengeful fantasy of an abused child [she hopes for an apology and for things to become perfect]) before finally settling on making her mom unknowningly seal her own doom (ie, the cheesecake).

Nagisa's cheesecake is an incredibly important object for both literal and symbolic purposes. She wished for it instead of saving her mother's life; It represents her final revenge against a woman who never treated her kindly. It also represents the unobtainable love Nagisa searches for even as Charlotte; "unable to make the cheese she loves" aka "unable to obtain love". There is a more uplifting (albeit dark) symbolism here too; that being Charlotte's unfortunate decapitation of Mami. Mami, who in Rebellion is Bebe's caretaker and mother figure, is eaten by Charlotte: Mami is the "cheese" Charlotte loves and has finally found.

Nagisa is abandoned by everyone: the only one who hasn't abandoned her is her mother, who is convinced Nagisa will abandon her. They have a vicious cycle of mistrust and dependence. Right before she becomes a witch, Yuu promises "I'll never leave your side"; after taking the only person who never abandoned Nagisa, Yuu promises "I'll never leave your side". Those were some of the last words Nagisa heard: the crippling loneliness, guilt, and betrayal that sunk in is what caused the birth of Charlotte. What makes it worse is those are words Nagisa was likely told by her parents at some point: afterall, parents will say anything to comfort their child, especially before something like hospitalization or leaving the family entirely.

Nagisa is 12 at her oldest possible age and 8 at her youngest possible age. She is a tragic figure on the same level as Sayaka, Kyoko, and Mami. The only true closure we have for her at the moment is her relationship with Mami (and the other Holy Quintet members) in Rebellion.

Yay doodles!!!
