"People are creatures who cant live without loving someone. But since they're creatures who can't love something that's strange or revolting, then by process of elimination, they can't live without loving something they can love."

It's her. The meat woman.

tbh, I don't really know anything about her asides from the stuff that I read on her wiki / Birth of Authority from Wish document and stuff that people in the fandom have said about her, so idk how accurate this would be to her lol but I think I have a gist for what her deal is XD

For Capella, I was going for a kind of butcher aesthetic, but with some touches of demon / dragon elements because iirc she transforms into a dragon at some point (also I think she already has a demonic vibe to her + just... how she is in general), and she 'butchers' people's bodies into grotesque shit. That's also the reason why her weapons are meat cleavers, to go with the whole 'butcher' theme. I also wanted to have a sort of clashing of cutesy / risqué elements in her outfit to go with the contrast of her appearance versus her personality, hence the ruffles + bows in her outfit paired with the latex top, gloves, and pencil skirt. I had no idea what to do with her at first, because her outfit in canon is literally just. A bikini. And some other shit. Aside from a color scheme I had no real 'theme' to go off of, just scantily clad outfit. I was at first gonna go for something like a mad nurse / surgeon vibe cause of how she alters people, but being a butcher just fits so much better for her and goes with her vibes really well. Also I think she's been called 'meat woman' in the LN or WN before so it makes sense lol XD

The authority from a wish document basically says that she wants to be loved by everyone and believes that people only love someone's appearance / looks are all that matter, so she wants to make everyone else around her look disgusting so that they only love her, and says her 'wish' is to turn others into something revolting, so that's what she probably wished for, giving her the ability to transform herself and others into whatever she wants.

I want to shout out how joyful and emotionally vulnerable Aladdin and Alibaba are as protagonists. There are a lot strong supporting characters, and all of them could carry their own series (of course it's Sinbad that gets it lmao). But Ohtaka chose two precious cinnamon bun boys who are so full of life. It feels like a toss up for shounen archetypes to a (possibly angsty) loner and introvert or precious balls of fluff. Others certainly exist (I grew up with Dragonball and Goku is the fluffball himbo). I love characters who are open and lovable and simply the best.

This is to say nothing against Morgiana. I adore my girl so much. I think it's also important though that out of the three of them, she's the most emotionally reserved. She has plenty of reason to be. On the flipside, I love that the girl is allowed to be that. She's allowed to be reserved, unsure, and sometimes overwhelmed and doesn't have to carry the emotional weight for the boys as the girl on the team. She's still a good part of the heart of the three of them though lol; at least close to Alibaba. (Aladdin, ily, and his intuition around reading people is fantastic. However, he did grow up in isolation, and the tact is not always there haha.)

I love them. K, thanks, bye.

Fun fact: I really like Madoka Magica

[dreamerwitches]

Witch art from the Mystical World of Wiz

[evergreenalice]

honestly, the only reason Madoka Magica spawned so many “dark magical girl” anime is because people heavily overhyped how dark that shit was (I can only imagine this is because they were insecure about what they were watching)

Madoka was in all honesty, not that dark, and people overhyping it led to people thinking "oh so it's popular because it's dark, we can make dark media"

insecure people who couldn't just say "yeah it's a show where the power of hope and gay love win over the power of despair" and that insecurity spawned many edgy shows

the ending is bittersweet yes, but the them of the show is overall hopeful

"If anyone ever tells me it's a mistake to have hope, well then, I'll just tell them they're wrong. And I'll keep telling them till they believe."

"Always somewhere someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her you are not alone."

the hopeful message was not subtle

[babymagi]

Titus: Too exotic for me. Do you have anything a little more gentle on the tastebuds? Sphintus: Uhhh, I've got a PB&J on whole wheat? Titus: Whole wheat? You know I don't eat spicy food Sphintus: BITCH WHAT THE FUCK-

[mccek]

Magic or illusion? Ep:8

[teatitty]

Alibaba is repeatedly shown to be very quick and nimble on his feet, reacting to fast and sudden attacks purely on instinct, which I know for a fact comes from his 10 years of living in the slums. He even dodges Morgiana’s attacks despite never meeting a fanalis before in his life and honestly? Really wish he’d have been the kind of fighter who’s so fucking annoying to go against simply because he’s too damn hard to hit

Sinbad has Sharrkan teach Alibaba not because he is the better swordsman (although he is) but because Sharrkan is also really fucking annoying to try and get a hit on when he isn’t being stupid

[pan-magi]

Happy Halloween!
