Think madoka but with a twist. I like that (spoiler) Homura keeps going back in time to save her buddy Madoka and it just makes her so bitter. She watches her die so many times, fails so many times, yet perseveres. It was fucking powerful once you realized it but i also like the gunslinger's version of creating multiple timelines. After (spoiler) Jake dies and goes back to New York he starts having memories of multiple times. This eventually drives him mad and compels him to find the bridge to Roland and co. I love this drive. I love this compulsion both of these characters have with fate. The difference being Homura wanted to buck fate and save a friend, but unknowingly created an even stronger destiny for the adorable Madoka while Jake fought to realign his. Seemingly, the beam ran through both of them as it techinally would. I love the notion of fate but its only really romantic if your fate is something extraordinary . Like, no one would want to read a story of a person who was fated to die from a peanut allergy behind a 7/11 after a fairly average life. Sure, some really cool things may have happened between their birth and their peanut demise but its always the beginning and the end we remember the most. just like with a new love, we always remember the first moments of passion and the fizzling end that comes to all.
I dont know where i was going. Just jamming to some tunes and letting the thumbs do the talking. later gator.
