Line #8 Trivia/ResonanceDays


1	* AscendedFanon:
2	** ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'' had Charlotte's original human self, Nagisa Momoe, introduced... as TrueCompanions with Mami Tomoe.
3	** A fan, [[{{Omake}} for fun]], offered a [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/resonance-days-puella-magi-madoka-magicka.219803/page-16#post-9537148 collection of flavor]] [[FictionalDocument texts]] for Afterlife articles and books. The author's response? "Holy freaking wow. Okay, yeah, a lot of this is now canon."
4	* CreatorBacklash : In the [=AO3=] version of chapter 3, [=TakerFoxx=] admits that the constant incest jokes with Nie and Arzt are "pretty off-putting", and clarifies that they are not actual siblings, but incest jokes were very popular in the community they frequented, so it seemed funny at the time. Occasional lines from the ffn version are entirely absent from the [=ao3=] version for this reason.
5	* CreatorsFavorite: Mephisto is Taxerfoxx' favourite villain.
6	* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: ''Restless'' is Takerfoxx' favourite arc, followed by ''Monsterland''.
7	* DiagnosisOfGod: [[https://takerfoxx.tumblr.com/post/670588759578935296/you-know-all-those-your-fave-is-x According to a post on his tumblr]], [=TakerFoxx=] writes Charlotte as autistic. This is partially shown [[https://www.tumblr.com/takerfoxx/724398465858338816/if-you-were-to-go-back-and-change-a-resonance-days via her interest in learning about things, in particular that of alien worlds]]. [[https://www.tumblr.com/takerfoxx/723234337974337536/is-charlotte-tomoe-diagnosed-as-autistic-in?source=share She is not diagnosed as such in-universe in Resonance Days, but is so in Walpurgis Nights.]]
8	* FandomNod: Some readers on the Spacebattles thread wanted to know how Oktavia, being a mermaid, pooped. They got their answer in chapter 6.
9	* GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion: The Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn version has numerous changes, ranging from removing {{Old Shame}}s to adding to or changing scenes that he found unsatisfactory in the original.
10	* OutdatedByCanon: The original premise of the fic was set down at a time when the fandom only had the original anime and the ''Kazumi Magica'' manga to go on for source material, so it makes a fair bit of assumptions that would be disproven by later mangas, games, and the ''Rebellion'' movie. This is not necesarrily a bad thing, as the fic has since then taken on its own identity entirely sepparate from those sources, while incorprorating what is appropriate.
11	** When the character of Reibey was created, the only known incubators were Kyubey and Jubey from ''Kazumi Magica''. Since these appear to act as sepparate individuals, it was assumed that Incubators were all individuals with the [[PlanetOfHats racial hat]] of being emotionless {{Manipulative Bastard}}s. As such, Reibey is noted to be unusual for his emotions, but not for his individuality, and other incubators than Kyubey are mentioned. ''Rebellion'' would firmly establish that Incubators are a HiveMind that ''all'' identify as Kyubey, with Jubey being a RogueDrone.
12	** Charlotte the Sweets Witch in the story is assumed to have originally been a magical girl with hot pink hair of Mami's age, and the two are in a romantic relationship. ''Rebellion'' introduces Charlotte's canonical original self, Nagisa Momoe, who is a white-haired little girl who's relationship to Mami is much more like a little sister or daughter. In this case, it's probably for the best since including Nagisa would mean changing large parts of the story, not to mention Mami's character, entirely.
13	* SeriesHiatus: The Archive of our own version went on a small hiatus after the ''Restless'' arc, as the author wanted to catch up on side-stories and spinoffs.
14	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
15	** The first friendly witch Kyoko and Oktavia encountered was originally going to be Patricia, the class representative witch, who would be running an orphanage on a ship wreck. This was deemed too big of a concept to introduce that early on, so she was replaced with Elsa Maria. Patricia and her orphanage would return later on in the Etherdale arc.
16	** Mundy the vaskergoros was originally going to be a TokenHeroicOrc dockengaut.
17	** There had been some ideas of having the Walpurgisnacht quartet of Walpurgis Nights: Oktavia, Ophelia, Charlotte, and Candeloro, be a polycule, but the idea was ultimate not followed through on, though the idea apparently was considered ''in-universe''.
18	* WordOfGay: In ''First Time'', Taker states that Natsuru's gender was a result of being stuck like this upon arriving in the afterlife and rolling with it. Later comments establishes that she is definitely a transgender woman.
19	* WordOfGod:
20	** [[https://www.tumblr.com/takerfoxx/715517959802617856/is-it-a-spoiler-to-ask-how-long-have-the-afterlife Taker]] has confirmed that the CreationMyth recounted by Elsa Maria in chapter 3 is more or less accurate, and that the girl who wished the afterlife into existence lived in the Mesolithic era.
21	** Any timeline [[spoiler:where Madoka dies or becomes a witch is shortly after reset by Homura, and since Homura's wish was to protect Madoka, her shades from those previous timelines are pulled back to life and added to the "current" Madoka. As such, Reibey has no shades of Madoka in his ziggurat]].
22	** [[https://www.tumblr.com/takerfoxx/717510817241792512/so-if-homura-and-by-that-i-mean-the-homura-of If Homura in the current timeline witched out]], the resulting Homulilly would come out differently than the one seen in 'Walpurgis Nights'. Instead of being a ShrinkingViolet, she would be calm and reserved and a borderline wet blanket with a low tolerance for foolishness, but she'd also have a lot fewer of the hang-ups she has as Homura at the current timeline. The presence of either Madoka or Gretchen would also greatly affect how she comes out and develops.
