“There’s only one thing I desire right now. Peace for that mother and her child for the rest of their lives!”
Ok so I’ve had this idea in my head for a while, where all the people who possess / have possessed witch factors in Re:Zero are magical girls (+ magical boys? Just gonna call them all ‘magi’ to make it easier), because the witch factors parallel the most with becoming a magical girl in pmmm for me. I’m also gonna include Emilia and Subaru as magis, because Subaru’s Return by death may also be an authority and to explain his time traveling (also for the obvious Homura x Madoka parallel). This idea came to me when I found Iqian35’s post on reddit Birth of Authority from Wish, where they say “My motivation for this series primarily stems from the 2018 Q&A on Echidna's Book of Wisdom, where Tappei said " the authority itself has a tendency to reflect the cravings of the holder of the witch gene". So l thought, why not look into each and every one of the Witch Factor holders and see how their personalities and wishes are reflected in their authorities?” and reading it reminded me so damn much about pmmm’s magical girl system that I was inspired to design magis + witches for the series! I might even turn this into a fully fledged au!
Now I wanna talk a little bit about my thoughts behind Geuse’s magi design and what his powers + wish would be. I designed him with the intention of looking like a templar knight like from the crusades. What with the witch cult’s parallels to Christianity / Catholicism as well as in Geuse’s design itself, I thought it would be fitting. I also made him a kind of knight because I wanted it to call back to Sayaka in a way, considering the similarities behind their motives of wanting to help those they love / wanting to protect people / sacrificing their souls, ect. (these two are so similar to me I could make a whole ass venn diagram). Iqian35 made the observation that his ‘wish’ would probably be a wish of love + his goal in life was to protect Emilia and Fortuna and to live for love, so that’s probably what his wish that would make him a magi would be, specifically to have the power to be able to protect Emilia and Fortuna. This would make his magical power manifest as the unseen hands, like in the show proper. I gave him a mace as his weapon because it was used in the time period of the crusades and because it’s a bludgeoning weapon meant to break armor, which I think fits well with his fighting style and the strength of the unseen hands. He’d still be able to use earth magic as a magi, as well as possessing bodies / having his fingers as long as his soul gem is intact. Because he’s an earth spirit I made his sg yellow / gold, yellow being the color for earth spirits / earth magic in re zero, and made it a prevalent color in his outfit. Red is a frequent color in his outfit too because the star Betelgeuse is a red giant and it’s used in his og design.
That’s all the input I have to give for now, sorry for the wall of text lol :) more designs are on the way but it may be a minute because I have college and other stuff to worry about, but I will get them done eventually don’t you worry! The brainrot is far too strong lol XD I have too many ideas for this possible au / crossover!
TLDR, I made Madoka Magica x Re:Zero crossover designs, and this is the first one.
Petelgeuse's soul gem but corrupted, may use this in the future :)
Caved and made his hair ribbon red, also added gold trim to match the rest of his outfit. @suffarustuffaru you're so right the red does look better :)

When I showed my dad the wip of this drawing he said something along the lines of “What is he the Thin Man or something?” so I’m gonna call him that from now on lol 😂 anyway here’s this screenshot redraw
Hey remember when I said a while back that I should make a Venn diagram of Petelgeuse and Sayaka? It took me several hours to make this stupid thing
Listen to me. Listen.
Sayaka Miki is to Homura Akemi what Petelgeuse Romaneé-Conti is to Subaru Natsuki.
Do you understand? Do you see my vision?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @suffarustuffaru !!!!!!! Here are our green boys together XD Thanks for all the fun these past months! Love ya!

P.S. here are some alternate versions I've made of the second Petelgeuse piece here :)
i love tragic characters who get their whole world ripped out from underneath them and then completely fuck themselves and everyone around them over in the most violent unnecessary ways imaginable
Re:Zero fan week final day! I initially wanted to do something for day three but, ahahahahaha 🙃
Excited for season 3!
