new devastating headcanon dropped Every drawn iteration of sasha james is incorrect because she’s gone. she no longer exists. any attempt we make to capture her will forever be slightly wrong and we’ll never know because we as the listeners are cursed to hear but not observe

[ID: Digital bust of Gerry Keay wiping away blood coming from his nose. He is pictured as a young adult with pale skin and long dark hair that is blond at the roots. He is wearing a Metallica t-shirt as well as a spiked bracelet. He has a couple of piercings, one in his eyebrow and two 'snakebites' below his bottom lip. Each of his knuckles is tattooed with a minimalistic eye. His chin is somewhat tilted down, gazing up with a furrowed brow. Although his expression is tough and stoic, his eyes are a little glassy, leaving the impression that the injury hurts more than he is willing to give away. END ID]
Yo distortion girlies check this shit out
revisiting YA dystopias you used to love be like. oh haha here’s the 12 variations upon “what if the government picked who you should date”… lmao divergent was so extra in hindsight… and the hunger games— wait. oh. **oh**
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
this is what I was trying to get at with my gertrudeposting earlier today, though not nearly as thoroughly or eloquently as OP
regardless of its other successes or failures one thing i feel that the magnus archives did really well was create a narrative and worldbuilding that refuses to allow you to categorize its characters by the dichotomy of 'abuser' and 'victim' without ignoring major themes that define the shape and course of the entire story. despite one of its most central themes being that "we all get a choice, even if it doesn't feel like one" many of the characters we encounter are faced with genuinely horrifying ethical dilemmas that emphasize just how difficult that choice actually is to make, and allow the audience to sympathize with their plight even if not with their actions and decisions. many of the avatars are arguably just as much victims of the entities they serve as they are perpetrators of the violence they cause, and those who fight them in many cases choose to descend to monstrosity themselves in order to be able to keep pushing back - a choice some of them try to rationalize to themselves by arguing that the magnitude of the threat they face necessitates that the ends justify the means, but which is nevertheless a choice that they make, and one with a devastatingly high cost that is repeatedly, unflinchingly presented to both them and the audience. the human capacity to exercize our free will for better or for worse whilst taking into account the various internal and external influences that may affect the decisions we make is thoroughly explored with a great deal of care and nuance that i appreciate.
hey I’ve got a really cool idea for a heart/mind interaction
Soul: Ugh, I feel like I've been going crazy lately
Heart: Crazy?
Mind: Don't you fucking dare
Heart: I was crazy once
Mind: No.
Heart: They put me in a-
Mind: I'm going to put you in an early grave, if you don't shut your damn mouth
Hot jon rights and all that but there is something so special about jon archivist sims being a solid 3.5 out of 10 because then it makes martin look utterly deranged with the lust he has for the type of guy that you could find en masse at the local stamp club meeting
couldn’t stop thinking about my own dumbass post
The corruption
when I was a kid I had a small slide in my backyard. unbeknownst to me, a hive of wasps had decided to happily homestead underneath it. so one day I decide that I wanna be a bona fide disney child star. I set up my camera near the top of the slide, perform my audition, and decide to complete my dance routine with a ride down the slide.
dear reader, now that all the stings have long since healed, that video is the single funniest product of my childhood
