Me on first day as the job interviewer: what are your greatest weaknesses. What are you weaknesses. What will make you break. Am i scaring you. What would you say is your greatest weakness. Aaaa! Anyway. Have you ever been attacked? What would you consider your greatest weakness.

1. Yes they have to fight, 2. Tell me who’s fighting who in the tags! (I’ll add the most ridiculous combos in a reblog)

couldn’t stop thinking about my own dumbass post

Elias go brrr

Man can gaslight and manipulate me all he wants lmao

Getting into the Magnus Archives fandom before you finish the series is wild because they’ve all made a collective decision to pretend the cast loves each other and it’s all just an office drama, supported by copious fanfic and fanart and things. And then you get to the actual content and it’s like,, most of them genuinely hate each other. Not even in a cute way, they genuinely want each other to die

hm… no I don’t think Gertrude was feeling cold and uncaring when she sacrificed Michael. I don’t think she just dusted her hands off and walked away. I think she was used to risky plans and close calls, even used to an occasional casualty, but her blood ran cold when she realized she was choosing to send one to their death. not collateral damage — a sacrifice.

and I think she tried to be as numb as possible, calculating, deciding, even as she knew deep down that only one of her assistants would walk straight into hell on her word.

and I think she found him a bit annoying before that. the jaded resent the naive — it isn’t fair, but it’s true. but by the time he brought her tea the next day, in her mind, he was already dead. everyone looks better dead. optimism, trust, loyalty all become virtues where they were once liabilities.

I don’t think she didn’t feel the gravity of her choice. I think she did it anyway.

and she did not hesitate.

I keep seeing takes like this and wondering if there’s something deeply strange about me because I listened to his first canon appearance and immediately went. yeah that’s a he/they glitchcore skinny bastard

like I’m sorry he was so terrifying to you guys in canon but it’s utterly incomprehensible to me. like that was just a little guy

Michael Distortion is utterly horrifying in TMA and then every depiction of him looks like an arcade floor threw up on a pile of twinky twigs

OH! OH! AND!!!

That clay figure that The Worker In Clay made was probably originally intended to be point C for the distortion, as it’s a really good representation of the distortion in its “pure form”.

Dunno if these count as headcanons-

Oh, and snowflakes are fractals. So of course they had the twisting happen in Russia. Lotsa snow. Perfect spiral weather.

absolutely all for the idea that snow is spiral weather. snowstorms are where the vast and the spiral cross over. I’ve walked through many a snowstorm and can confirm you will feel incredibly small and also batshit insane afterwards

Me when i lie

(Added the full image description down here this time because it turned out way longer than usual):

[Image Description:

The first image is a digital drawing of the character the distortion from the magnus archives, with michael on the top facing to the left and helen upside-down on the bottom facing to the right, in the style of a joker playing card. The background is white, with warped colourful lines decorating the border. Michael and helen each have a hand in front of their faces; Michael is peeking through his fingers; helen is resting her chin on her palm. Their hands and fingers are elongated and their fingernails are overgrown and spiraling. They are wearing matching pink pinstripe suits, with spiral buttons and white dress shirts with spiral cufflinks. Helen has an afro hairstyle with a section on the left side of her head pulled back into a braid, and laid edges that form spirals along her forehead. Michael has long blond hair that falls in much looser curls across his shoulders. Both of their irises are pink with a spiral design in them. Their proportions are overall semi-realistic; a clean rendering style is used.

The second image is exactly the same as the first, just flipped 180 degrees to put helen on the top instead of michael.
