Last Night I Dreamt That Toby Fox Had Created A Game Where You Played As Several Generations Of Hiveswap

Hi everyone long time no see. There’s a post on the miasworld tag by maddogs187. That is a pornbot. Don’t click on it, don’t click on the profile, they aren’t a new fan, they’re a pornbot with a very nsfw page. Shame the bots hit the miasworld tag somehow (it’s such a small corner of tumblr, h o w)

Inconsequential headcanon: Gerry Keay didn’t wear socks most of the time. He’d just put the shoes on and call it good

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

Adding to the broken notes count

The notes are broken. This is what tumblr is all about apparently.

In 2020 we celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the Good Omens book on the May 1st, only to learn later that it was not the correct date! :D

Okay but jon is like mostly scar tissue by the end?? Counting off things that probably scarred:

- worms

- daisy kidnapping him

- michael stab

- shaking jude’s hand

- he was in the middle of a plastic explosive going off during the unknowing and no one talks about it. Like yeah he survived but also he was semi-dead for half a year, that shit probably left a mark (ha, ha) other than him becoming abruptly more avatarlike

- rib removal

- melanie stab

- i feel like im forgetting something but i cant say what

The fact that if Michael hadn’t become The Distortion he could have very well become The Archivist

it is continually inspiring to me that there is a nearly middle aged man who writes for a sports website who posts like us, truly the posters spirit can be found anywhere
