HAPPY BPM DAYYYYYYYYYYYY

Happy Brutal Pipe Murder Day, everyone! Here are some of my favorite Leitner memes to celebrate. How are you celebrating?

I’m actually working on a corruption michael design (inspired by a bit with a friend involving jane prentiss and worm on a string) because jane and michael are really quite similar when you think about it. Im genuinely tempted to do a set of designs for him based on each fear now, seeing how each fear could overtake the same character is so fascinating. And this interpretation of the dark, going from the more traditional literal darkness and the unknown within it, to an intentional ignorance (whether intentional on your own part or another’s)… it seems obvious in retrospect but it never really crossed my mind, somehow!

Aaah! Lovely thoughts!!

If he hadn’t been sacrificed, I feel like Michael would have been more a victim and/or avatar of The Web.

I highly doubt Michael was stupid. To be honest, he strikes me as neurodivergent of the “if I just go with what they say, they won’t hate me” variety. He trusted gertrude to not… y’know. Kill him. I feel like that’s a pretty low level of trust, all things considered. He probably knew she was planning *something*, though he grossly underestimated the scale. Consider also that Gertrude was trying to intentionally deceive pretty much everyone so that she could go around obliterating Rituals and being a general pain in the ass to Jonah. It’s not a mark against someone to have been tricked by Gertrude. Hell, he was in an echo chamber designed to keep him ignorant!

Point is, Michael wasn’t stupid. He was scared. He was scared of being hated and left behind and not being enough for others. He was scared of failing people. He’d fall into anyone’s schemes, take any number of hits, whatever it would take to have people stick around and hopefully, maybe, protect him in return.

If it hadn’t been Gertrude and her assistants specifically, if it hadn’t been Fears and supernatural entities and attempts to end the world, he would have been manipulated, rather than lied-to-and-manipulated. He could break the Great Twisting because he *had* been lied to, not because it was the core of his fear. (Ignore for now that the Twisting wouldn’t have worked anyway, if 160 is to be believed.)

And every fear has a bit of manipulation in it, Gerry’s colour analogy rant and all. But The Web relishes in manipulation, in telling you true things that will lead you to the wrong conclusions to do what it wants. Michael was told he could stop a great evil. True! Sort of!

Anyways, Web!Michael when

New experience: browsing tumblr, reading some long thread, had to put my phone down for a minute, left it on because I was going to pick it back up in a minute anyway. Watched as someone glanced at my phone, and realized I had forgotten what I was reading. Until I was able to get it back and check, I was stuck wondering if they’d seen detailed fandom analyses (branding me as a nerd) or ridiculous essays on linguistics (also branding me as a nerd) when they looked at my phone

I have one braincell and it is unfortunately autistic. And it cant choose which old special interest to spontaneously revive. Rn its on fucking. *daria* of all things. But i think im gonna switch tracks to she ra soon. And from there it’s just a matter of time before i end up focusing in on nimona again

When the many-eyed eldritch being tries hitting on a human

fuck all the other bots this is by far the most ominous message i’ve received

A lot of people draw needles as a goofy spikeball, but we know they look roughly like a normal person until you get too close. So I propose this: yknow how sometimes when you get a splinter there’s a sharp bit poking out that you can’t really see but you can feel if you touch the splinter? He’s covered in tiny invisible razor-thin spines that at a distance might appear in weird lighting conditions as a funky halo. Only after you get within arms reach do you see the spikes. And of course, by then they’re embedded in your skin, and we all know how painful and hard to remove splinters are

This image has absolutely sent me every time ive come across it. Everyone look at this right now
