Love the art style for the first page but seeing Moemura smoking just made me burst out laughing.
..Yeah, I had a looming dread throughout that whole dream sequence that Homura killed herself. And then when Kyoko and Mami were slowly going over to her place, my dread increased TENFOLD. Speaking of which, I really like the contrast the author did with Mami and Kyoko home life being so bright and happy while showing Homura to be dark and bleak, switching between the two as the story went on was a great choice. In other words, I really loved the art style and the feel of this oneshot. Probably my favorite
Madoka Magica doujinshi.
"But after reading a fanfiction called 'Celebration' by ThePokeManik on AO3."
ThePokeManik? I recognize that AO3
Madoka Magica author! Small world huh? I wonder if he knows about this doujinshi?
"Homura taking her life was where I realized I wanted the story to go to. That choice may upset people, but I feel it fits what she would do in a universe where Rebellion never happens."
It might ruffles some feathers of other people, but I quite liked this choice in ending.
"A floating Mirror. Your friends smile warmly behind you."
Yooo,
Madoka Magica and
Omori? So cool! I think Homura could have a dreamspace if she was so broken by the loops, actually, that gives me an idea for a fanfic..
And finally, I want to leave these great panels from this here:
