Someday I really want someone to make a series about a team of magical girls, expect they’re all adults now and thought their days of saving the world with the power of friendship and glitter was behind them. But now some new evil has emerged, and they’re all suddenly finding their powers coming back after being dormant for years, and after a couple days of desperately hoping a new team of fifteen year olds would appear to take care of this, they eventually realize that it’s all up to them.

So that means digging through old boxes of keepsakes to figure out where they stuck their Rainbow Twinkle Wand after they finished saving the world the first time around, and hoping the outfit still fits (it’s a magical transformation, so yes, it adapts to their adult bodies and fits perfectly, even though it’s a lot more frills and sparkles than they’ve worn in a very long time.) Also gotta get used to yelling their attack names, because the magic doesn’t work otherwise. One lady shouts ‘Strawberry Lipbalm Ray!’ and blasts a monster into oblivion, and then stares off into the middle distance because she’s 30 years old and has a mortgage.

A follow up idea that, for a time, this totally works. Its awkward and feels silly but at least it works. But then the bbg ramps up their efforts and stronger villains start springing up, maybe even a previously defeated villain that wasnt particularly hard before, but they get wrecked. And they realize that while the magical girl thing worked in the past with “strawberry lipbalm ray” they arent teens anymore and they stuff they used to love (but maybe obscure of society to fit in) dont work as well anymore and they have to balance the fact that, yea they are like 30 somethin and adults and the things they *used* to be into dont work, the stuff they are into now totally does. And suddenly strawberry lipbalm ray is turned into strawberry shortcake baking bonanza and its like 10x stronger than it ever was because theyve learned to accept being an adult doesnt mean giving up the sillier things you love, but also, sometimes those sillier things u love change into new things

one of them is a mom and has the side plait. The others immediately notice and demand they change hair. the magical mom refuses because she likes the style. Finally before the big battle her hair tie breaks and during the final battle, she almost dies but doesnt. her friends claim she would have if she kept the side plait
