#TMA The Spiral

[friszil]

thinking about this one au where michael distortion continues to work in the archives after michael shelley's death because apparently you can't leave the archives even if you aren't you anymore

TMC: Flirting with the twisting deceit.

Because of @ark-fork and @sm-baby, they made me (not by force) make showtime cannon to this au. Sorry… but you know your girl ain’t sorry >;3

TMA AU ( TimSasha Lives ) P.2

First part -> (Desolation!Tim)

FanCast -> Nathalie emmanuel -> FIRST DESING

Sasha also survived by transforming into an avatar, an End avatar.

But with strong marks of the Spiral.

bc she was kidnapped by Michael right before Not!Them killed her

Although Not!Them took Sasha's life for months.

All those months, Sasha was lost among Michael's corridors, during that time she accepted her "death" and the fact that she no longer existed to anyone in the world.

(Michael, in the form of riddles and jokes, revealed what Not!Them had done)

Her acceptance gave way for The End to join her, preventing the Spiral from affecting more of her, but transforming her into an End avatar in the process.

She was rescued by Tim and Martin during the ending of MAG S2, but neither of them recognized her.

Then, she left the institute (her spiral marks broke the Eye ones, not even Elias knew that she returned) and began to investigate everything related to fears by herself, shortly after, she descovers the reality of the institute, and what it means to be the archivist. (or at least a part of it)

At the beginning of season 3, Melanie finds photos of the real Sasha and shows them to Tim.

in that moment, Tim and Martin realized she is the woman they saved from the Spiral's corridors.

They tried to look for her, but they couldn't.

On the other side, Sasha was looking for Jon.

She found Jon while Daisy was chasing after him. (MAG 91)

Jon KNOWS she was the Real Sasha just by seeing her (even though he doesn't remember her)

And they all meet again when they go to face Elías.

(the key she has was given to her by Michael, a few weeks after leaving the corridors, as a "prize for surviving the spiral without going completely crazy", with this Sasha can open doors that can take her anywhere she wants, That's how she found Jon, although they can be tricky ;)

Extra:

(I'm going to post Jon and Martin's designs, although they're not very different from ""canon"")

P.3 -> S3 Final

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 🎉

Day 3 : The Spiral

I tried to stay on theme with using minimum colour and mostly black ink, but I still wanted the Spiral's chaos to be there, so I still added a bit more. I'm happy with it though !

[friszil]

oh the creature you are

[endomentendo]

I lov yer human Caine :3

Caine: that’s not a question… :3

lol thank you! He’s a lot of fun to draw, but I hope later on I’ll land on something more accurate to how I interpret the Magnus universe.

[clowns-international]

[underwhelming-artistry]

Finished

something about how Michael the Distortion speaks so slowly with a distant tone, almost as if he doesn’t know what he’s talking about but then he does and then he doesn’t, as though he's popping in and out of consciousness. his mind is abstract and fluid, mirroring the innocence and amiable ignorance possessed by Michael Shelley.

meanwhile, Helen the Distortion speaks with so much certainty, so convincing and almost comforting, selling you a lie as efficiently as she sold property to her customers back when she was Helen Richardson, smiling professionally through it all.

of course these two characters cannot be compared. they are both The Distortion but they embody it in entirely different ways.

Michael makes you question your reality with his twisted, unreal laughter and his dreamy rambling and his lack of identity.

Helen makes you question your sanity with her consoling lies, her fake friendly demeanour and her seemingly well-meaning intentions that just rubs you the wrong way and you can never explain why.

(also it's confirmed that Michael usually appears to be a normal man except when viewed through reflections, so it's my personal headcanon that Helen looks super weird and abnormal, despite her very human personality and approach.)
