Таки сел и перевёл статью из Life. Одна из самых охуенных историй, которых довелось читать.
Копирайт материала и фотографий — Life (10 сентября 1945 года, страница 63 и далее, можете найти в гугле), перевода — мой, liilliil.
Thinking about Madoka.
Thinking about how she kept referring to herself as average and nobody special. Thinking about how she jumped at the opportunity to help people as a magical girl in so many timelines. Thinking about how her first ever wish was to save a cat that had been run over. Thinking about how the only thing that stops her from becoming a magical girl is the fact that she could die. Thinking about how eventually even that doesn’t stop her. Thinking about how she cared about other people so much and almost never puts herself first. Thinking about how she helped all those girls when she became Ultimate Madoka because she knows how they feel, she was in their shoes once. Thinking about how even as a god, she still visits her little brother enough for him to think she’s an imaginary friend. Thinking about how she loves earth so much that she keeps every timeline Homura’s went through on Records and listens to them when she’s lonely. Thinking about how Madoka is a beautiful simulaneous deconstruction and reconstruction of the classic Shoujo protagonist, how she’s willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good but doesn’t take into account that some people don’t want that for her. Thinking about how she trusted Nagisa/Bebe enough to send her to check on Homura, implying that she forgave her for the Episode 3 incident.
Just……. thinking about Madoka.
