repost of an old thread i refer to a lot and want here too. "logic jail" is a term i picked up from a friend whose workplace uses it to describe the trap of "only logical things can happen in a story or it's a plot hole." no it isn't! people do illogical things for rich internal reasons constantly
imo the idea of “consistent character” can trap writers in logic jail. human beings are often self-contradictory & complicated. for example "loyal" people are not comprised of code that prevents them from taking any action that could be conceived of by anyone anywhere as disloyal

With the release of Epic The Underworld Saga we return to Mild obsession channeled into Sleepless Domain fanart. Also feels like a loose partner piece to my Tessa and goops dancing piece somehow?

Iroha is a character in Magia Record I keep finding myself returning to. I think that in a different, better timeline the Magia Record Anime succeeded in becoming the Surrealist Psychological Character Study that this Madoka Spinoff clearly occasionally yearned to be.
