Apocalypse Seer Twins comic (title tbd) part 1

START (You are here) - PREVIOUS (None) - NEXT (not yet)

Anyways, welcome to the start of "Donnie has a waking vision in the middle of the apocalypse for the first time while they're on mission" comic. I'm not sure how long this will be but it will probably go through Leo yelling at Donnie once he wakes up, so it will at least be that long.

the only reason this took so long to come out was b/c i got stuck on the stupid krang monster at the end. I have since given up on drawing them properly so have a pink krang-like blob instead.

(masterpost for the curious)

Okay, the scene where Mami kills Kyouko is actually my single favorite scene in PMMM. I think about it all the time. I love it so much. Which sounds horrible, I know? But I think I love it because of its honest look at the characters in a desperate situation. And how in-character it is for all of them. It’s such a fantastic bit of storytelling from the writers.

Like Mami would absolutely be the first one of them to snap like that. She’s such an emotionally unstable character. Mami, more than any of them, wants to stop witches and save people because that’s how she makes peace with her lifestyle. So, learning that they’ll all turn into witches… of course she’s going to try and eliminate that possibility before it happens, even if it means killing her friends.

But even more so than Mami’s characterization in this scene, I love Madoka’s. I think it would be easy to assume that Homura would be the one to stop Mami, because Homura is seen as the colder character. So, I love that it’s Madoka. Madoka makes the quickest call she can in that moment to save Homura. Maybe they could’ve talked Mami down, and at that point, that would’ve been what Homura tried first. But Madoka couldn’t risk it and needed to react right away.

It shows us that in the main timeline, Homura is giving Madoka the time and space to make her decisions carefully/fully stop her because she knows that Madoka is impulsive when it come to her friends.

Basically it shows their characterization as this: Mami will always try and make the call that she believes will save the most people, Madoka will always try and make the call that saves her friends, and Homura will always try and make the call that saves Madoka. And that’s because for each of them, those are their salvations from the cruelty of being a magic girl.

Do you ever have the urge to like test your chronic illnesses? Like push it too far and you KNOW it's gonna bite you in the ass but like what if it doesn't??? What if you were just being really dramatic this whole time????

I feel like half my brain is a concerned adult and the other half is a belligerent child who just really wants to go for a run.

When writing always remember… a character flaw is only a flaw until becomes useful. 

Is your protagonist manipulative? Well that’s awful… until they manipulate the antagonist into making a decision that saves the lives of their friends. 

Is your protagonist a skeptic? Well that’s not good… until someone tries to lie to them. 

Is your protagonist overprotective? That sucks… until someone they love is in danger. 

Is your protagonist remorseless? Well that makes them pretty unlikeable… until a hard decision has to be made. 

How many cool points does your dad have?~
