[woo_oo]

 

Whether you decided to protect the ones you love with your own two hands, or you're suddenly the Chosen One meant to save the world, you're now a Magical Girl! This meme is about exploring all the tropes you can find within the imaginative worlds of Mahou Shoujos, be they as depressing as Madoka's Grief Seeds or as hopeful as Usagi's Silver Crystal – grab your enchanted brooches, twist into your poses, and let's get ready to take down this week's Youkai! Mix and match to your heart's content!

 

Oh, and don't be afraid to bring in your boys – magical asskicking is for everyone!

 

EPISODE 1 – I'm The Magical Girl?

 

Friendly Familiar

A weird-looking animal has found you and declared you to be the savior they've been looking for! Or it could be a “desperate times call for desperate measures” deal. Either way, this is for acting out scenarios with your fluffy/scaley/chibi-fied companion! Play with a first meeting, or day to day life. Are you best friends forever, keeping secrets, or groaning you got saddled with this chump?

 

You There, Youkai!

Time for some fisticuffs! That Monster Of The Week is out there harming people – maybe you need to save a friend or a complete stranger. Unless the Monster was your friend, and it's your job to get them back to normal! Use the power of love to set things right, or beat them down until they can't get up no more.

 

Time To Team-Up

After all this time, you've finally found a fellow Magical Girl! Did you accidentally come across their secret, or did you battle the same foe? Are you going to join forces, or do you prefer to go solo? Is this town big enough for the two of you, or are there dark secrets you can only trust your new friend with?

 

EPISODE 2 – My Daily Life As A Magical Girl

 

Confident Confidant

Sheesh, life as a MG is rough. Good thing you have a non-MG pal to talk things over with. They know your secret, and you trust them with your life. Are they jealous of your powers, or are they running your fansite?

 

Rescue Romance

Oh yeah, let's get into those shippy tropes. You're crushing hard, but they seem to be madly in love with your alter ego. Or is it the other way around? When one person has to pretend to be two people, love triangles can be pretty tricky. Or you can take a note from Miraculous Ladybug and have four-way insanity!

 

Darkness Dame

Not all MGs are sunshine and smiles – this is the Dark Magical Girl trope! She works for the bad guys or has her own agenda. Can you win her over to the side of good, or are you unknowingly doing so in civilian form? Amp up those tragic backstories, mix in a little bit of yandere, and remember the old cliche – the dark side has cookies.

 

EPISODE 3 – Can I Continue To Be A Magical Girl?

 

Spilled Secrets

Uh-oh, the truth is out – someone connected the dots and knows who you are! Did they see you transform, or did they figure it out on their own? Complete stranger, friend, family, crush, there are so many ways it can go wrong... and right. Feelings of betrayal, confusion, awe – it all depends on the bond you have. So what will it take to keep those lips zipped?

 

Villainous Valor

This is for those who want to play with the Big Bad, the Dragon-In-Chiefs, and Minions! Are they confronting the MG for an epic last battle, attempting to lure a MG to their side, or snapping at the underlings for botching up a job? Are you obeying orders because you're hopelessly in love with your superior? Or is being evil just that much fun?

 

I Quit

… Okay look alliteration is hard – you've decided to hang up your sparkly tiara for good. Has the last villain been vanquished, or are you sick and tired of how this is affecting your social life? Can you convince your friend to keep fighting, or are they ready to hand down their powers to the next generation? Is it happily ever after or fighting forever?

 

Get out there and have some fun! And here are some quick short tropes to keep the imagination flowing:

 

Be a MG at any age – child, teen, adult, grandma!

In the blood – is being a MG a family tradition/secret?

Princesses from another world!

Baddies Brainwashing Beauties and Boyfriends!
