Tma Michael Shelley - Blog Posts

Artworks of michael distortion and michael shelley in the same image often draw the former intimidating/enfolding the latter. But that’s not it at all, is it? They’re one and the same, yet mutually unrecognizable to each other. The distortion did not prey on michael shelley, he was fed to it and it was bound to him. And once it became clear it would not escape unscathed, it did not want him. Michael shelley was never even meant for the spiral at all, and it shows in how it acts as a distortion. If anything, the intimidating factor above the hapless human should be gertrude robinson, not any facet of something that could be called michael in some capacity

The thing i both love and hate about michael’s sacrifice was how simultaneously inevitable and preventable it was.

With the info gertrude had, she thought she had to sacrifice someone to save the world. She doubtless thought michael’s blind trust in her was necessary for the plan to work. From her perspective, her actions make sense and couldn’t have happened any other way.

And yet. And yet. It would have failed anyway, whether michael was there or not. Michael could have lived a long and happy life (or at least not been fed to an eldritch horror) and the world would not have ended.

His death is pointless. He died for nothing. And yet there was no path by which he could have survived without changing fundamental aspects of the timeline. Preventable, yet inevitable.

I love big coat and scarf michael as much as the next guy but you have to remember that sannikov land is canonically warm! It’s a jungle! He went through that door with the warm winter clothes in a backpack! Sure, it should have been cold, but that’s the funny bit about the Spiral: it defies “should” at every turn. That said, funny spirally scarves are fun as hell to draw, just probably not canonically accurate (at least as much as any visual representation of mag 101 can be canonically accurate)

GerryMichael!!!

I really should be working on my wip list, but here I am again. They fill me with joy, and sadness, and a lot of weird feelings

So, Gerry starts chemo (Michael convinced him that trying was worth it)

At first, he didn’t want to cut his hair. But eventually, as everything the doctor warned about hit him, he knew it was just a matter of time before his hair started falling

On impulse, he tried to cut it himself. He only managed one half before Michael came back.

Gerry loves his hair. Michael loves Gerry’s hair too, and he knows how much it matters to Gerry, so... it’s hard. For both of them

Michael helped him “fix” the first side and cut the second half

They're both sad and sleep deprived

...

Two sides of the same coin:

GerryMichael? // GerryMichael 😭

@ariolimacidae thank you for bringing GerryMichael into my life

I may not be able to draw Viktor, but Michael is always there for me to open the door 🚪

Yesterday I was about to sleep, then I thought about GerryMichael, and then I wanted to make a present for best friend and oomf

Then I remembered, wait, I know how to draw. And suddenly, I knew how to draw.

Really funny how I have several wips and I finished this thing in one night. The best drawings I've ever made have all happened between 1am and 4am, and were not planned at all

And no, I didn’t have the strength to draw a background.

Gerry leaving lipstick stains on Michael is my constant mood.

Also celebrating that I finally settled on Gerry’s tattoo designs, and the design itself!

(This is from my GerryMichael AU where Eric, Mary and Gertrude are from the same generation, so Gerry and Michael are almost the same age, Michael is older for a few years.

If you’re wondering about the differently colored streak in Gerry’s hair and the uneven length in Michael’s, it’s because Gerry dyes his own hair and usually misses the back. Also, he cuts Michael’s hair, not perfect, but not bad either.

I'll be talking more about it. My two other posts about GerryMichael [1 - 2] technically are part of this AU, but I didn't put much thought into it before

This is different from my soon to be finished DoorKeay fic

@p4radised I'm going to feed the internet with GerryMichael)

Wow... just wow...

(sketch below cut)

My headcanon is that Gertrude taught Gerry how to wash his clothes. The problem is that he did not quite know the effects of bleach on colored clothes. So, when he was washing his white clothes he got his MCR top messed up. He still uses it very often.

@ariolimacidae did the stars and sparkles ✨

My first post and it’s them. Just Michael yapping while Gerry prepares himself a burger.

The background picture was taken from Pinterest.

I simply love the fact that the episodes that talk about them are 101 and 111, don’t ask me why.

More art of TMA, haven't been able to do much due to being busy for the past week or so

Distortion twins my beloved

They really spiralling out of control

Michael Shelley gives you a letter

Valentines day was yesterday here but I was busy I didn't have time so here
