oh helen… my gaslighting girlboss….. absolutely shoveling this art into my mouth right now
Here’s the continuation of the Distortion post! Go check out Michael’s page:)
This is Helen’s page
A closeup of the main drawing. I really like this drawing, it’s one of the best ones I’ve made with my markers.
Here’s Helen chilling in her hotel corridors. Tbh I think we should have seen more of her hotel, it seemed very spooky and horrific:3
The background (maybe a tiny bit lazy but I like it):
And lastly a drawing of Helen Richardson! Idk how well it reads but the words on the papers on her clipboard turn into a spiral, just a neat last minute touch
Aaaand that’s the Distortion for you! I hope y’all liked it:) I worked a lot on these. Please request more tma characters you want me to make pages for, it’s super fun to make!
rip jonah magnus you would've loved pride
saw the fnaf movie this past weekend (twice!) and it was sooooo good i will never recover
here’s doodles of the original 5 ! (i’m also planning on drawing every other character too …👀)
Yes hello! Spiral headcanon: The more chaotic your outfit, the easier it is to navigate. Wearing a vest that embodies the hideous delight of a 1990's arcade carpet? There are signs with directions and the doors are labeled!
can everyone leave for a moment. I think a few minutes alone with this person’s brain would fix me
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
glad to see this post reached robin lennox
has anyone ever… like…. casually listened to the magnus archives. did anyone ever consume that podcast normally and then just.. do something else. I’ve never met someone who listened to tma and didn’t absorb it into their blood and bones
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)
