There were many fanart images on my hard drive to pick from to use as a background, and I eventually went with one that I picked up from Danbooru some months back, based on my favorite character in my favorite anime series to date: Akemi Homura from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I stuck the lyric on using the GIMP editing software, all it took was a pair of text boxes and swapping the color of the text from black to white:
The lyric – “All gave some, some gave all” – comes from Rise Against’s Survivor Guilt, a song which fits Homura’s character almost perfectly from the first part of the series. She gives quite literally everything she has in her efforts to save a friend, and few recognize her for it until late in the series, when both the viewer and other characters in the cast are given her back story in full. Given my knowledge of the series itself, I can also confidently say that this lyric would fit for ANY of the five main characters – Madoka Magica is a quite brutal deconstruction of the magical girl genre of anime, and the sacrifices made by each of the characters throughout the course of the show reflects the lyric in a number of ways.
I sadly cannot properly attribute the original image with a hyperlink – it is undoubtedly buried somewhere in the several hundred pages of images on Danbooru, and finding it again would be nearly impossible. I just had a local copy saved.
