Michael Distortion - Blog Posts
My immediate thoughts were Gerry and Michael. And honestly? It could go either way
ANGELIC??? ETHEREAL??? SO GOOD I WOULD EAT A SHOE FOR THIS???
michael my beloved
I am not a “who,” Archivist, I am a “what.” A “who” requires a degree of identity I can't ever retain.
Ty for the drawing suggestion :) @adissappintment
Michael Shelley this, Mike Crew that. i think you're forgetting
"But Gertrude Robinson had given poor, disposable Michael one more thing before sending him to me. She had given him a map. I couldn’t say how she would have gotten such a thing, or if she somehow made it. And yet it was a map. A map to me. It made no sense, lines overlapping and inverting, but once within, Michael knew which turns to make, which doors to open, which mirrors to shatter. Until he became me." MAG 101 🌀

Amazing!!!
You were meant for something so much greater than yourself. There’s no such thing as destiny, just your own damn bad luck. Now you have a choice to make. We all did. Become What You Fear Most.
all 14 avatar portraits from my zine {Becoming Fear}.
TMA Alice in Wonderland AU stuff :D Still figuring some designs out but here's what I got so far 😼
Kinda went off with my own ideas here but credit to @nuraismydoll for helping with inspiration :D

TMA Art Exchange
Hey!! This is my gift for @phant0mc1d3 in the TMA Art Exchange! :)
I love my boy Michael so much, so I hope you like it! The colors following the lines unevenly is intentional-
Versions without as much distortions under the cut <3
UR SO RIGHT FOR THIS NOT ONLY IS IT TRUE BUT IT COMBINES MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS BOWIE AND THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES SO I TRIED TO DRAW IT
Just got into The Magnus Archives and is it just me or does The Distortion (Michael) have absofuckinglutely MASSIVE David Bowie vibes.
Like I picture him wearing stuff like this:
(^^^ESPECIALLY that one I mean look at the pattern.)
(^ Maybe not quite so wide but again, the pattern!)
LIKE?????
Not to mention all the possible Labyrinth references!
I’ve just tried digital art for the first time, I think it turned out nice enough.
“It was a small, unremarkable door, painted dark yellow, with a matte-black handle. And it wasn’t there before…It was lit by electric lamps attached to the walls every ten feet or so, and the walls were papered over in a swirling green pattern. Running down the middle of the faded yellow carpet was a rug, black and thick, that disappeared off as the path very gradually curved to the left.”
Is it wrong that when I first heard the Micheal Distortion from TMA being described, I just imagined Dylan Brady with big hands?
Michael Shelly
I made this little TMA sketch during school so the photo isn't the best quality but oh well
(one might say the photo is slightly distorted hahahahaahahaaha..... i shouldn't b allowed on the internet /j)
something i did a few months ago..🚪
YOOOOO THISS IS SO COOOL AAARARAGRAG
Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime.
Super inspired by @weevildead 's michael painting! I hesitate to post this bc it was super experimental, and i hate the hair and how unblended the edges are w the obvious layers and weird blurring and stray marks...but idc im posting it.
been playing around with various Michael designs. I spent a ton of time on the coloring, and basically none on the line art, and it SHOWS. Overall I’m pleased with it. Expect more in the coming days and weeks.
occasionally people will draw designs for Michael Distortion that look very similar to me and I just need those people to know that I’m a little bit in love with them.
Michael when he's been distorted or something I dunno I didn't listen to the podcast
This image spawned into my brain quite suddenly and I was given no choice but to drop everything and bring it to life. You're welcome.
id love to see you draw mr jonathan sims s3 and maybe michael??? they are so sillies and i love themmm plus your artstyle would be so swag
i’m so bad at drawing jon even though he’s my bbgirl i am SO sorry….
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.
Yo distortion girlies check this shit out
*saunters up to the Distortion, batting eyelashes* damn, are you a system of differential equations with complex eigenvalues for which the real part is possitive? because you sure are spiral and unstable 🥰
OP’s tags are the most correct opinion anyone’s ever had. actually.
why does everyone ship Michael with Gerry when Eric was right there, and a dilf
CHARLIE YOU SCOUNDREL THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
the attention to detail is insane I want 20 of them to stick on my ceiling
A continuation of my sketchbook pages of tma characters! This time @happy-little-doorbell suggested the Distortion! Thank you El!
Here’s the entire spread
I’ll make one post for Michael and one for Helen:)
Here’s Michael’s page:
A closeup on the main drawing. I’ve been playing around with different designs for him, and I think this one’s pretty cool:
His scarf morphs into what the corridors would look like from above, with the pale yellow carpet and black rug described by Helen Richardson.
We got Michael in his corridors, just vibing:)))
I spent too much time on these corridors to have them completely covered up by our boy (gender neutral)
And lastly a small drawing of Michael Shelley (he deserved better)
So this is it! I worked hard on this, and I’m really proud of it! Please tell me what you think of it:D
You can also request what other characters you want me to make pages for:)
I’ll add a link to the Helen post when I get the chance
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
she who on my what til i— oh my god whh at t he ff u ck ist that th i n g
