Thinking about it, when it comes to my AD's Story fanfiction, I tend to keep records of when I work on it. The way I date the thing is around the same as I do for my blog posts. Blog is Year.Month.Day. Records are: Year/Month/Day.

Anyways, back to what I really want to say.

I will literally go all crazy with Madoka spoilers so, beware. Stop reading if you don't want to be spoiled on the Rebellion and my thoughts on it.

 

Everything starts out all cheery and perfect. Yes, I think we've got that down. Now, instead of wraiths or witches, there are Nightmares-
Only two show up and their designs are kind of the same thing. Anyways, rather than the abstracty feeling of wraiths, nightmares, witches that you'd expect, there are a lot more humanoid forms that may have been the reason I felt that the art was a little different.

Everything is so sweet that it's a little scary and irritating in a way. There's that feeling of, "This is so messed up, something bad is going to happen."

Plus, hey, the Dessert Witch Charlotte is here! And well, she has a cute human design too...that shows up later~

Even if you felt guilty because you just wanted the bad stuff to come already, it did come. But, first, you had to go through some nicer stuff that in my eyes was still pretty enjoyable to watch even though I watched it twice out already.

Homura is that shy glasses girl again. Eventually as events happen and she finds out more, she turns back into the badass Homura we all love.

Madoka's still there. And you know, she's like god, so it's like an OMG moment when you see her. She's just that normal, unknowing Madoka.

Kyoko and Mami are alive like at the end of the anime. And so is Miki Sayaka. No problemo.

And just for a note: Kyubey is there too. At first, he's an innocent evil thing that can only say 'kyu,' but well all know that Incubators are...well...****

So, there's a bunch of overly sweet things~ It's so sweet and typical that we legitimately get to see a magical transformation scene.
It's nothing too bad like Nanoha's you're-gonna-go-to-jail-you- type of thing. There are a lot of flower references and other references.

Actually, there are a lot of things that you won't get and you may never ever get and I don't get, so I can't explain.

And then when things get revealed and stuff happens we have the badass fight with....

These two!!! Though it's a lot more bullety and badass and epic than what the gif says. Anyways, gotta love gunfights in a fantasy story.

Somehow I make it sound not so serious at all. Anyways, let's just get over with that, I'm skipping towards the second half that made me cry out.

Why did Homura do that? Why in the world did she have a creepy smile on as she denied Madoka's wish and took it upon herself to become the demon? Why is she so...........................unable to accept things? Why does she take the antagonist's role upon herself in loneliness every single time?

(Well, we all know that Homura is the embodiment of denial, despair, loneliness, selfishness, selflessness, and sacrifice that will in the end hurt herself and come out with nothing more than blood and tears.)

Just like our beloved Madoka/MadoKami, Akemi Homura literally rewrites the world. She was going to turn into a witch. She grabbed Madoka's hands and trapped the god before the god could save her. She smiled as she rewrote everything, changed everyone's memories, received Miki Sayaka's hate.

In the new world, Madoka's the new transfer student that no one knows. Homura shows her around. She returns the ribbons, trying to say that Madoka is the best that she is. But...in the end, it seems that God and the Demon will always be enemies.

It's sad. She seems to be alone still.

In the end, she dances around the terrified ruffled body of an Incubator and willingly falls off a cliff.

The demon will not die so easily. And as the movie closes, we see that shaken look in the emotionless Incubator's eyes. He seemed horrified, scared.

 

So....

Akemi Homura took it upon herself to be evil so Madoka would not be MadoKami anymore. She took it upon herself to be hated, to be Madoka's enemy. She became a demon, one that would be feared by even the Incubators. And....she seemed to be enveloped by her own despair.

Homura seems not to be able to accept hope.....

 

It really kills me even after rewatching the movie. And....to me, Homura is the most precious of them all.

Even if she says that Mami is the one pretending the most and trying to be strong, I can't help but think that Homura...still...
