brain vomit galore

This blog is a side blog I'll primarily use to be a shameless fandom trash to channel my godawful unmanaged adhd and is cluttered af.

I think what's technically more tragic about Soul's sacrifice during the church is...while there's a possibility Maka could just die outright, literally split into two if she she had been the one taken blade (Soul jumping mid-transformation might have made him a little more sturdy than the 100% human Maka, hence he only got cut open) had Maka survived and the one got infected instead it was kinda implied her body would just purge the infection automatically thanks to her anti-demon wavelength, so she would never suffer its more adverse effects like Soul did.

So people like to create demon-angel imagery around Crona and Maka but I feel it didn't hit as deep (basically it's just Crona is the kid who is forced to do evil, and Maka is the good girl who saved them. How generic) as to whenever people create angel-demon imagery with Maka and Soul since when it's applied to SoMa their imageries ended up being ironic and by that alone you already brought out their multifacetedness (the angel actually suffers from being dutiful and perfect to the world because of her human flaws, the demon is desperately trying to anchor himself to the best of his humanity so he doesn't succumb to his worst flaws. She gave him a reason to be better, he gave her the permission to be imperfect)

Ngl since I've sorta solidified my overall essay around SE (including finally finding an appropriate angle on how to read Maka that I feel is very palatable to the masses while acknowledging her full humanity while also enhancing other characters rather than heavily dismissing them like before...forever grateful to that one panel showing how tired Maka was to participate on the moon fight lol) I'm no longer anxious if a reboot drops anytime soon since I finally know what I'm gonna say once the usual fandom character butcherings happens.

Maka, when Medusa betrayed her, probably:

Took me this long to figure out that Soul's unique ability after gaining Arachne's web powers is being a transmitter and maybe amplifier. When combined with Maka's soul perception he can broadcast any wavelengths (can be Maka's ADW, Kim's healing wavelength, his own madness wavelength etc) into areas as far as Maka can perceive enabling mass exorcism/healing/psychosis/what have you. But he seemed to also act as an augmenter since during that scene where they were trying to search for Crona around the world Maka needed Soul to push her soul perception to be able to see even further. So Maka's perception and anything got a boost through Soul's augmenter ability, which in turn helps in widening the areas that his transmitter ability could reach even more...
