Vietnamese egg coffee with a teddy bear stirrer from Ton Coffee.
He swung up his sword, and as he restored the blade to its full length to point at Akemi's throat, understanding dawned in her eyes. "I'm the Knight of Time," he said, staring at her down the length of his blade. "What the HELL did you try to do to me?"
Screenshots from Magia Exedra mixed with plot significant pictures. From left to right, then top down: 1. Kyouko with an annoyed expression and her hands on her hips. She's in a cafe uniform where the frilly headband, pinstripe blouse with puffy sleeves and apron make the uniform look like a maid outfit. The red ribbon at her collar matches her hair. You can barely make out a cafe in the dimmed background. 2. Mami in a similar cafe uniform, smiling as she confidently crosses her arms. Her hair is curled in a single ponytail draped on her shoulder, instead of her usual twin curls. Her ribbon is yellow to match her hair. The cafe is clearer in her background so we can see white tables and chairs, and a glass display of cakes. 3. A slice of sachertorte that shows the hotel name, Sacher, on a chocolate decorative disc. 4. Close up of hands making latte art in a yellow coffee cup. 5. Mabayu giggling with her curled hand over her mouth. She has choppy green hair and is in her magical girl outfit of white, with purple film strip and ribbon accents.

Colour art of Mami jumping heroically, with her ribbons swirling around her. You can see some of her musketeers in the background. 5. Kyouko hunched over with her folded arms on her knees, looking behind her. Candles are around it, and the background looks like stained glass. 6. Chopped mushrooms and carrots. 7. Tiny Homura with her hair with its ribbon billowing. 7. Close up of Kyouko's eyes, slightly shadowed for a pensive effect.
A collage of fic references, from to0 then left to right. 1. A snippet using Ellipsus' sharing tool that reads: For some reason, Mami came back carrying a hand held mirror, which she handed to Homura. "I thought you might like to see your new outfit." 2. Jade Harley image from Requiem collab, where she is leaping in her Witch of time outfit with one hand extended to the viewer. 3. Akemi Homura as a Witch of Time, as commissioned and designed by gallowsc on tumblr, credit in next post. gallowsc's design has Homura in a storm gray witch hat and a dress in shades of grey. The red spider lilies on the hat are echoed in red accents all over the dress, and in Homura's red slippers paired with purple diamond thigh highs.
Edited screenshot of the part from Dave:Abscond where he's falling down the stairs. The caption, which used to be: I warned you about stairs bro!!! is edited to I warned you about time travel bro!!! Time travel is in white text on a red background. Homura with a red ribbon has been copy pasted over the dude from Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. Added caption under her: It keeps happening!!! This caption is white text on a purple background.

Entering the second Rebellion window to see Homulilly with Incubators looming behind her. The stage 6-5 is selected for a party of Magical girls consisting of Madoka, Sayaka, Kyouko, Mami and Nagisa. The party proceeds to fight against Homulilly's minions of Clara dolls and Moemura soldiers. In the background Homulilly's skirt flutters like a paper cutout.

The turbines caught on both his timetables and the wind, the two pulling in different directions. But now that Dave was paying attention to the wind, it wove itself into the rhythm and was turned back too. The wind washed over them in the opposite direction it had been going in. The turbines reversed their cycle, along with the ripples in Homura's hair.
Dave Strider in a leaping pose with his timetables under each hand. Dave is a boy wearing sunglasses and has a red long sleeved outfit with cape. Timetables refer to his turntables that have added gears and other not visible stuff to help him manipulate time.

Last part of the Rebellion backgrounds.
Screenshot of the style ticket trader, under the icon of Nighthawk the owl.
Devil Homura on one of the Nightmare levels.
Madokami at dawn. The rising sun is illuminating her like a halo. Through her translucent wings, we can see a city bathed in soft light from a sky with wispy clouds. She is standing on a largely green field with parts blanketed by white flower. Madokami is a girl with long flowing pink hair with white ribbons tied into it. She has golden eyes, a white dress layered with pink ruffles and pink tinted translucent wings.
Devil Homura using her battle skills against the Sandcastle Witch. The skill lets her summon and direct her familiars to attack.
Mami, Moemura and Madoka taking turns to attack teddy bear minions on top of a moving train. As the characters attack, we see the focus moving from the minions and the characters, which shows the train is moving in a city silhouetted against a patchwork quilt sky.
Animation of Madoka firing off her arrow at a teddy bear minion, as shadow ballerina twirl against a pastel background. Occasionally we can see a rainbow with the words "Welcome to cinema" on it.
Devil Homura in her victory pose of looking badass with her crown shaped Soul Gem. The background is the Nightmare background that has the word "Cinema" on a pastel rainbow. Devil Homura is a girl with black hair, dark red ribbon, purple eyes and purple/black dress with choker. And I guess there's some reward points too.
30 Jan opening page in Magia Exedra that features Homura in her devil form. Devil Homura is a girl with black hair, dark red ribbon, purple eyes and purple/black dress with choker. She is holding a crown shaped object with a glowing game inside it. There are black feathers swirling across the background, some attached to wire thin wings.

Announcement for limited character Demon Homura being released noon on 30 Jan. Demon Homura is a girl with black hair and a low cut dress drifting backwards towards the viewer with a smirk.
Commissioned art from @drawydraws.bsky.social It has Dave Strider from Homestuck and Akemi Homura from Madoka Magica layered on an actual photo of a kombini. Dave is holding Homura's arm steady to take a bite of her strawberry crepe as Homura looks on, stunned. Dave is in his Knight of Time outfit, which is an all red outfit with a gear symbol and a cape. Homura is in her magical girl outfit which is a stylised sailor type school uniform in purple, white and black. She also has a red ribbon in her hair.
Miki Sayaka with a hot dog meal in front of her. The drink cup has a red line and the hot dog has lettuce and is on a tray lined with paper.

"Thank you for your time," said Strider-sensei, as if Kyouko had just finished a presentation in class. "Dave?" "Don't worry, I'll have you home by midnight. Cinderella's a better fit for these two anyway; at least they bothered to put on their magically generated outfits for the occasion." "Didn't want to risk leaving a shoe." They shifted into a flash step that kept them from the scrutiny of the average human, though Homura had no problem seeing them leave.
Party named Seasonal because 4 of the 5 characters are the limited characters released for Xmas. The characters from left are Rika Ayabo, Ren Isuzu, Momoko Togame, Kyoko Sakura and Sayaka Miki. Most are wearing red outfits lined with white fur, except for Momoko (her usual yellow and brown outfit) and Santa Sayaka (rocking blue with white fur).
Picrew made using the picrew maker in quoted bsky post. Selected character has red glasses to go with her braided red hair. She has a blue flower crown and a cosy grey sweater. The background is a purple-pink gradient with accents in the form of sparkles, dots and a wavy circle around the character's head.

Screenshot of a Magia Exedra character, Mel Anna doing her Tenebrous Arcana attack. Mel js a girl with a green ponytail, green eyes and white outfit accentuated with billowing green ribbons. Circling her are glowing and floating tarot cards. Mel is beaming at the viewer.
Screenshot of a pull in Magia Exedra. There are 6 pinks, 3 blue and the most important gold has the word new and Santa Sayaka's face. The gauge at the bottom right shows I got 50 points from 50 pulls, so I can get a 5 star key.

It's Xmas already in Magia Exedra and the Rose Witch stage now has wreaths, streamers, a Xmas tree and snow. The familiars have fairy lights draped across them, or scarves and reindeer ears.
