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

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

new ask game: give me one of the fourteen fears and I’ll give you an anecdote about it

personally I’m keeping it lighthearted but y’all have free will so do what you like

been seeing an uptick in opinions about oh ana by mother mother lately… just a reminder that miss jane prentiss grabbed that song by the throat and made it her bitch

would gerry beating up leitner be considered a keaysmash

had a dream last night that there was a lego figure of the distortion and it disturbed me immensely but I spent the entire dream haggling with the owner to buy it. like “oh it shouldn’t exist like that. it doesn’t like existing like that. oh, that’s fucked up. 🚨WIFE ALERT🚨”

and when the web is spun, will you find yourself the spider or the fly?

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

Turns out, this meme was made for this man ❤️

I can’t believe how little I’ve drawn him when I probably love Elias as much as Jon!

(100% he gets his Eye pins, cuff links, etc. custom made for the AESTHETIC)

we all must do our part to delay the eye’s power. once a day, every day, remember to loudly think “you are now in manual control of your breathing” to fuck up your local eye avatar’s day

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

hey guys I think I have a new headcanon about gerry keay

my ADHD ass could never use a leitner properly even if my life depended on it. “read this specific passage to change the—” ok my eyes have already skipped to the bottom of the page. “one or two words is enough to—” and I zoned out and skimmed 2 pages so I’ll see ya later in the hell dimension

fun life tip you can listen to an audio drama!!!

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!

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

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

Distortion headcanons, you say….? :)

Fractals usually seem to have a pattern where the iterations get infinitely smaller.

However, the hallways and corridors and things within the distortion do not appear to shrink infinitely or anything.

This is only because the person is essentially inside of the distortion and therefore is basically also infinitely shrinking at the same rate as the place around them. To them, nothing appears to change, if that makes any sense-

Also, the “center” of the distortion is probably referring to “C” in the equation for the Mandelbrot set (Zn+1 = Zn^2 + C), which is the starting value for the set.

Uhhhh And Uh uhm er

Mirrors

Y’know that cool effect that happens when you put two mirrors up facing each other? I think that’s why they’re in the distortion.

the shrinking fractal hypothesis is canon now btw. I just made it canon actually. that is the best explanation I’ve read for infinitely branching hallways that isn’t “it’s just like that”

this is why all of you need to go out and adopt math people into your fandoms. see? see the benefits? (yes I work a STEM job. that doesn’t mean I know shit about it)

anyway that unlocked a memory. as a young child I used to sit between two facing mirrors in my house and just stare while moving my arms so they looked all messed up and honestly I think that’s why I’m like This

this art is already so satisfying to look at but fun fold-out formatting unleashes the serotonin gates. pet treat hidden inside a toy type beat.

anyway if I’m correct in assuming that the layered parts fold out, I’d go absolutely feral for a distortion version with opening doors/panels

Made a sketchbook page for Agnes Montague:)

I might do one page/spread for all prominent tma characters (or whichever ones I choose). If you want to see more of that, please tell me! Also, if you want to you can recommend any tma character you want me to do a similar page of!

I like to think all iterations of the distortion have simultaneously fantastic fashion sense yet horrible taste. Like a snazzy suit and tie but the colors physically hurt to look at

posts made by TMA fans or by my coworkers watching me walk into the office

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

why are we as a community not calling our vast avatars “a-vast-ars”

gained so many followers off that who/what shitpost and yet not a SINGLE one of you hooligans is sending your distortion headcanons to my ask box. unbelievable.

The Magnus Archives 👁️

here's my magnus playlist

Instagram

Jon • Martin • Tim and Sasha • Melanie • Basira • Daisy • Georgie • Gerry

Hey so we found your boyfriend living in the tunnels. Yeah. Yeah he had so many fucked up if true books with him. Yeah. Yeah so there was this pipe and um-

Hey girl! Are you Jonah Magnus? Would you like to be?

GET MAGBUCKED

my one valuable contribution to the aggie

@gayformlessblob for making me hear this in my head, I’m calling my uncle who works at the magnus archives and telling him to ban your account and give me all your magbucks

my one valuable contribution to the aggie

you turn his page and hear faint, ethereal giggling

what if gerry was MAD ticklish. he had to get the tattoos sedated

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
