One thing we don’t talk about enough is that michael distortion looks… basically normal. Like canonically.

Wiki excerpt: “Michael is a very tall man, approximately 6.5 feet, with a round face. His hair is blonde and forms ringlets that come down to his shoulders.”

He only looks like our silly horror guy with knife hands when viewed through reflections or warped glass. So technically almost all fanart done of michael is actually a reflection of a much more normal-looking drawing of a random blonde guy.

#the magnus archives #tma #michael distortion #tma michael distortion #all this being said #i do kinda like the idea that anyone who’s notably aligned with the eye sees him as spooky knife hands guy #it kinda makes sense in a way? #but also i like the idea of all pieces of fanart actually being through glass and no one realized it

The thing in her cargo hold is looking at her again.

Really, Gem should have sold it by now. If the fishmonger had refused to take it--and really, it seems unlikely, Gem thinks, that the fishmonger would refuse to take it; he has taken and carved up and made meals of far stranger fish than one with a human face and hands and torso--she could have easily sold it to the man on the train, who takes exotic catches for his zoo. She could have even taken it to Grian; it's not a mending book, but it's the sort of thing he'd like to make fun of her for catching, instead of anything she's after.

Really, she should have. The longer she keeps the thing in her cargo hold, the more it starts to look properly human to her. She should know better. She has caught far stranger fish, and none of them have been human. It's another trick these seas have been playing on her, she thinks.

Long nights alone do that to a woman.

She ignores it. Instead, she opens the lid of the tank and starts depositing salmon. "It's a really weird request, that I keep them alive the whole time. You won't eat them, right?" Gem says, knowing the thing in her cargo hold can't answer. "Because if you eat them, this time, I really am going to sell you to the fishmonger. Or maybe I can figure out how to get fillets from you on my own? I've certainly eaten weirder fish..."

The thing in the cargo hold continues to stare. It has eyes that look like little moons, and brown hair, and it is smiling for some reason. Gem huffs.

"Don't give me that look! You are a fish. I am a fisherman. If mere human faces stopped me from doing my job, I would have gone mad a long time ago."

The thing in the cargo hold smiles wider. The lights flicker. Gem rolls her eyes and finishes putting salmon in the tank. As though to spite her, the thing in the cargo hold immediately lashes out, grabbing one in the claws on her otherwise-human hands and then tearing it apart with razor-sharp teeth. Blood rises on the water. Gem sighs.

"I have a harpoon in here somewhere, or at least a very sharp knife," she says to herself. She doesn't really want to use her nice knife, the one she always keeps on her belt, but she ought to have another knife around with which she can finish the job, right?

The lights flicker and go out. When she looks across at the tank, there are two silvery-moon eyes looking at her.

Gem pulls a wire. Gem turns the lights back on. She takes a deep breath.

"I really should have sold you by now, really. If the fishmonger won't take you, then the zookeeper would love you," Gem says.

The radio crackles. Gem startles. Very, very few people ever contact her on the shipboard radio, but if she's getting a signal, that's more important than a grudge match with a fish. She heads over to answer the call.

An amalgamation of voices responds:

YOU ARE FUNNY. I HAVE A MESSAGE. A DELIVERY. YOU'VE TRAPPED ME THOUGH.

Slowly, Gem turns around to the thing in the cargo hold.

"This won't stop me from treating you like a fish," she says. "If messages from the ocean stopped me--"

A terrible, crackling laugh sounds from the radio.

I AM THE MOON'S PEARL. YOU WILL NOT HOLD ME FOREVER. WE WILL SEE WHO EATS WHO.

Gem wags her finger. "We'll see, for sure, as long as you don't eat my salmon. That man in the fish-scaled suit was VERY insistent, you know."

TELL ME MORE.

"You're tying up my radio. What if there's another ship? What if there's something important?"

OH GEM. YOU KNOW THERE WON'T BE.

Gem swallows.

The thing in the cargo hold is staring at her.

"I need to sleep. I need to go to shore," she says.

YOU WON'T, the radio says.

She won't.

[whatawonderart]

did anyone else like. watch the gnome run finale and go "hey that was great" and then forget about it for a few months and then suddenly you remembered it and realized that this was one of the most impressive creative projects you've ever witnessed or was it just me

#wayneradiotv #wrtv #hlage #hlvrai #im joking mostly i loved that finale but it wasnt until recently that i realized that the ending had a LOT more going for it than i thought #it was easy to dismiss it as a joke because. lol funny cartoon pig says spooky thing can be taken as ironic but like. it fully isnt. #actually listening to the dialogue and putting two and two together made me feel a little insane. i felt like i was solving a puzzle #maybe it was just the timing of it all or maybe it was the previous humor of rtvs making me take it as a joke mostly #anyways i drew this a few weeks ago and the hype from the announcement made me want to clean it up a little so here u go

[esprei]

ohhhhh id love to see u do a banette if u want to... the haunter looks properly spooky and i think them and banette r very good spooky pokemon

Also this is unrelated but like-

Mickey with a gap in his teeth is so cute and doofy, omg

I SAW THIS RIGHT BEFORE I WENT TO SCHOOL AND THEN DREW THIS WHEN I GOT THERE

I tried to find what thing this design was from but I couldn’t so I just have a headshot

Then I drew more Mickeys because drawing him is fun sometimes

That first one was supposed to be Thinner Mickey, but then I used Runaway Brain pictures for pose references, so now he’s kind of a merge of the two.

And um- these things I’ve thought about for months now

#I started playing rät while formatting this without even realizing I associate that song very closely with Mickey now #(There was a whole post about it. No one saw it but it’s there) #I just feel like calling that out. It’s the icing on these Mickey drawings #disney #mickey mouse #epic mickey #runaway brain #friday night funkin #fnf #spooky month #skid and pump #Kinda #crossover-enthusiast

If Garcia is Mr. Clown I'm absolutely expecting one of those reveals where he starts with a little chuckle before building to the loud manic laughter we all know Mr. Clown for, before bashing someone over the head with his briefcase

#Bonus points if it's Jack and he realizes JUST before that this is the guy he shot like five times #Spooky Month #Garcia #Mr. Clown #Theory
