have a lot of feelings for ladies who just want to have power because they really want to protect something???
e.g. Cersei Lannister, Regina/Evil Queen
they are capable of infinite cruelty but they are also kind in their own way and blargh if they were dudes you wouldn’t dislike them but they are ladies so there we go double standards
and then people just hate on them and i just can’t because i love them so much and i can’t even particularly articulate WHY but i do
ugh i love… them…
though they’ve spent their entire acquaintanceship having a non-relationship based only on their shared desire to defeat walpurgis and their inability to do it alone, at the end it really looked like they had this very significant moment of mutual understanding
they never really got each other, because despite kyouko’s attempts to live only for herself and care for nobody, she thinks with her heart and is obviously a very caring, warm person under her piles of trust issues, while homura is completely emotionally detached from everyone and everything that isn’t madoka, and doesn’t care what harm befalls anyone else (on the surface, anyway)
homura probably thought kyouko was too hotheaded and brash, and only teamed up with her for her power, while kyouko couldn’t stand homura’s apathy and the way she could just calmly stand by and watch others suffer and herself said that they’re not friends, but have just teamed up for a common goal
but in the end kyouko understood the feeling of being willing to sacrifice it all for a single cause. i don’t think homura ever told her anything about madoka— kyouko didn’t even know her name until she approached her directly to ask for her help— but kyouko seemed to realize her feelings all the same, because she could relate to them. she, too, wanted to protect sayaka at any cost. so she couldn’t hold it against her anymore, couldn’t resent her for not helping them save sayaka, which she could see now was a futile effort to begin with — she understood, and she encouraged it. she wanted homura to save madoka the way she couldn’t save sayaka. they’re magical girls. they don’t have a future anyway. if they can find one thing to hold dear, they should protect it no matter what.
and homura came to realize, for the first time, that there’s more to kyouko than what could be seen on the surface; she could see the emotional maturity she possessed, and her sacrifice, and it was probably the most she could ever relate to someone since her life became a giant mess of repetition and solitude. she calls her by her first name. as far as signs of emotional connections go with homura, that’s about the most telling one.
man that was a lot of rambling and i’m not sure how much sense it all made but the short version of it is
