ATTENTION/DISCLIAMER

Y'know how everyone says to watch Princess Tutu? Well, I haven't yet, but I'm about to bc I was watching a video of someone trying to rewrite Rebellion and they talk a lot about it, specifically how Monster of the Week battles work when they get to the fight with Hitomi's Nightmare.

With this context, the way the original author of the AU contextualized Witches makes a whole lot morse sense! In fact, I almost feel kinda stupid changing Madoka's wish to fit that mechanic.

As such, I will be rewriting the story from the ground up! The current version will still remain public, and will henceforth be known as "Soul Magica Season Zero"

This really makes me miss doppel stories (that came with character unlocks). You can see a playlist I made here of them (it's called "Mitama Training," but some of them are doppel unlock stories and others are cute lil slice-of-life stories).

Having a chat with your doppel is such a fascinating concept? The combined creation of your despair and hope having a conversation with you. All the anger and unhappiness formed into something you can actually look at, actually give a name to. Like, yeah, it's gonna be horrifying to confront your deepest fears and worst feelings about yourself but also like... It's got to be satisfying too. I'm not even talking about the part where you gather up hope and remember why you keep fighting; I just think having all your worst feelings said out loud would feel kind of liberating. Like, oh there they are, right out in the open for me to look at. No wonder people are exhausted after using a doppel.

My Madoka Magica OC, Machinebey

[caffeinated-chaos-bean]

Some updates on my magi oc for my au, along with her personal incubator!

I have her basic body, her incubator, sould gem and grief seed, transformed soul gem, her ring with the mark on her finger, and her weapon!

Also big, big, big thank you to @kazekothestrange for assisting with the battle axe!! I wanted something to convey water and wind but was having such a hard time coming up with a design. Kaz really came in clutch here and had this idea for a flowy but deadly blade that alludes to waves and "clouds" for the wind parts, and honestly I loved it.

I was going to work on chapter 2 today but I got pulled into the animatronic preservation rabbit hole

Update on Izumi's design process!! Plus her incubator lmao.

Its taken me more than a week to get to this point. You have no idea how painstaking it is when you get so involved into a character's design process and want it to look good, especially when you know its mostly because of how much of a perfectionist you are at the end of the day.... Over all? I'm glad I finally have a design I like. I tried SEVERAL different leg and wrist options, skirt options, dresses, etc.

And before aaaaanyone decides to come for me due to giving her a high-low skirt that shows her pelvic area, its on theme not for sex*lization purposes. She's a water themed mahou and in turn I want her design to reflect that, hends a lot of the scalloped edges and the seashells and her being barefoot (although that's also due to her just not liking to wear shoes if she has the choice). Plus it also alludes to frilly swimsuit bottoms that can be seen in both "beach episodes" and in lolita swimwear (yes that exists people). The pearls and shells allude to oceanic themes, and because she's also being given wind undertones, she gets little wings on her ankles. Little Hermes nod lol. And the hip pauldrons? Those allude to Atlantis and how a lot of mermaid royalty tend to have protective armor in more modern scifi.

Tomorrow after work I'll try my hand of what wrist or hand accessories to give her. I know that I want her fingers to be free at least, along with maybe her palms. Outside of that I have no idea.

Also still thinking up names for her incubator. He's gonna be white mostly but instead of pink/red markings and fades on the ears, its probably gonna be teal or something. Also his ear...tail...thingies? They aren't folded in how he's posed. Its actually arounded and bulbous, kinda like how the bottom of an octopus plushie is.

What AO3 is Named After

I’ve posted about this a few times, but it bears repeating because lots of people don’t even think about AO3′s name.

It’s a reference to A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf, which is a feminist essay about how society stifles women’s artistic expression.

#Is this true?#I really hope it is#Please

Why wouldn’t it be?

[cesperanza]

It’s absolutely 100 percent true. The relevant line is “A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” It’s about resources, partly–Woolf talks about how men came together and built universities and literary culture for themselves and such, but women didn’t have money so they didn’t have the resources for education, literature, etc. Its about crowdfunding the resources to support women’s writing as something important! (A Room of One’s Own is also the essay that invents Shakespeare’s Sister as a conceit; as the woman writer who, though as much a genius as her brother, can’t flourish; it’s a foundational essay for women’s studies.)

She’s also 100% Walpurgisnacht btw
