It would've been healthier for Homura to just replace Madoka

Do magical girls age?
Their bodies are literally soulless corpses that they need to expend magic on to maintain. Since decay doesn't affect their corpses, does that mean they don't age, either?
If a magical girl manages to survive for a thousand years without succumbing to despair, would she still look the same way she did on day one, or would she be a literal skeleton?
How old was Mami when she contracted? She looks more grown up than the other girls, but she's barely a year older than the rest of them and she was a magical girl for a long time. So did she age as a magical girl, or was she already well developed when she contracted.

No, grooming a child is fucked up and for a reason like that is doubly fucked up.

I love the symbolism in this scene. The mermaid, the prince and the princess.

>>140322123
Is that the scene in Hitomi's bedroom?

I guess the mermaid is Sayaka, the prince is Kyousuke and the princess is Hitomi? What's up with that goat?

>>140322201
It is and yes. No idea.

So it's possible for a magical girl's body to die out of old age? Does that mean her soul gets stuck in the phylactery, unable to do anything until her remaining magic runs out? What if her magic doesn't run out, since she no longer needs to use her magic to maintain her body? Will she be stuck as a trinket for all eternity?

>>140322201
I didn't even see the goat there. The ram is the symbol of determination and activity. In the zodiac it's the symbol of masculine vigor, ardor, bravery, energy, fire and intense force. Maybe it's supposed to represent Kyouko.

>>140322225
Nah, their bodies will just keep getting older and more decrepit. If they live long enough, they'll turn into spoopy magical skeletons.

>>140321144
It's doujin. People's imagination knows no boundary.

>>140322299
Goats are also related to demons/devils.

What about reincarnation?

>>140322225
Aging (as opposed to maturing) is damage at a very small level, but still damage. Presumably they could use magic to undo the damage, just like Homu fixed her eyes with magic.

Interesting. So they can heal their age?

>>140322225
Urobuchi addressed this in a QA with Hanokage. If a magical girl's body is destroyed beyond repair, her soul gem will remain intact and thus "alive" but they will quickly panic and despair.

>>140318461
>Grown up
>13

Isn't this the plot of Mami Tomoe's Mundane Life?

>>140327566
Shh. No one speaks of that.

>>140327223
Do they panic and despair because they experienced the destruction of their body, or do they panic and despair because they lack a body and can't do anything anymore?
If Homura didn't immediately recover Sayaka's soul gem after Madoka threw it away, Sayaka would have turned into a witch right there on the spot?

>>140327856
>do they panic and despair because they lack a body and can't do anything anymore?

I wish I could find the QA, but I believe once they realize they have forever lost their sense and all, they will panic and despair. If their body is destroyed, they wouldn't necessarily feel it as their is nothing left to feel. To your second part, this is most likely the case.

Butcher also mentioned that if you don't know the secret of the soul gem, a magical girl can despair from getting an arm cut off or something because they believe they're dying. Had Mami not had her gem on her head, she would have become a witch for this reason.

>Implying Tatsuya wouldn't naturally want to rail Homu nee-san

Remember when some f/a/ggots thought that Tatsuya would play a role in Rebellion?

Good old times.

>>140329017
Isn't Mami's spinoff about how Homura ends up with Tatsuya because Madoka is straight?

>>140318461
I read a Portuguese fanfcition with this plot.

It wasn't healthier. Homura was very broken, to the point of coerce Yuma to contract, with her wish being a catalyst to make Homura pregnant of someone who would be exactly like Madoka.

>>140329300
Among other glaring problems, Homura was never gay in Mami's spinoff.

They're still magical girls and witches still exist. It's not a good end at all.

Is this spinoff possibly Sayaka's dreamworld? Everyone is happy, married/engaged and she has her Kyousuke.

Baking soda.
>>140330354
Having a child does that.

>>140318461
What part of that sounds healthier to you?Instead of obsessing over one person, she thrusts all of her expectations on both her baby daddy and her new child. And god help them all if she doesn't turn out anything like her precious Madoka.

Although he might find it strange that she's been entertaining his "Madoka is real" thoughts for pretty much his entire life, unless she somehow makes him contract, too.

>>140330474
I don't think baking soda can clean despair.

>>140330760
In that universe it can.

>>140329890
I'm a little disappointed they don't show the husbands. I'd like to see actual Tatsuya Homura interaction.

>>140330166
That's from the doujin the "official" manga started from.

>>140320934
>implying Homura isn't already fucked up

It's about what would have been best for her, not what is morally best.

>>140330860
I wonder what kind of guy Madoka and Kyouko married.

They fight for the sake of their wishes. And Homura's wish was to save Madoka so she could wreck that Madonkadunk. She must see it through any way she can, lest she despair.

>>140330932
Madoka's engaged.
Kyouko married Sayaka from Earth 11.

Seriously though, no one really talks about this spin-off.

>>140331363
It's pretty much an excuse to get Mami in suggestive positions and have her bemoan not having anon's cock to keep her company at night.
