Love that tma is so traumatic constantly that we all gloss over the fact that Jon was kidnapped and forcibly moisturized while tied to a chair for a month.
Every time I think too hard about it it actually freaks me out. And Jon never talks about it again which also freaks me out

after years of being self conscious about my smile because of how odd and unsettling it was, i have finally found use in it through cosplaying not sasha/literally any avatars of the stranger.
i will now request for my body to be taxidermied once i die, good day, tma tumblr.

The Stranger -
You know your mother doesn’t smile like that. Her face has never been so waxen. Her eyes are glassy and empty. Her skin fits loosely on her face, like a mask of human skin draped over the featureless head of a shapeless mannequin
You know her voice doesn’t quite sound like that, but you can’t remember what it DOES sound like. It sounds the way metal tastes, rust stabbing into your tongue, bitter and unnatural and oh-so-strange
Your father seems distant, ever since your mother returned from her walk in the jungle. He looks at her with a strange fear, like he’s looking at a stranger that’s broken into his home
She doesn’t sleep. Before she changed, you had spent nearly every night in her bed, too afraid to sleep alone. This time, when you went to visit her, you found her lying in bed, back rigid and straight, eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, that waxy, mannequin smile still affixed to her face
You sleep alone now. It’s still scary, but it’s better than that
She smiles too much now. She hums, too, strange, calliope-like tunes that swoops and rises with a pulsing, off-tune beat, resonating off your very ribs
There’s a family in your driveway. They have a child with them. It looks like you. It isn’t you. Your father is there, but he’s also standing beside you, eyes wide with terror.
The only one missing is your mother
There’s music in the forest. There’s songs and circuses and clowns
You don’t remember who you are, anymore. You don’t remember if you even are anything, anymore. Your face is not your own. Your skin is not your own.
And you can’t stop smiling

oh the irony of constantly redrawing and tweaking a drawing of Nikola Orsinov because "it doesn't look quite right"

Just finished another addition to my TMA collage book, this time featuring the Stranger.
Shoutout to my amazing younger sibling for helping me with the mannequin sketch it would not have looked nearly as good without their help.

Details for doing business with the Circus of the other (and making it out alive and with your skin intact)
So, you are an avatar or some other person wishing to correspond with the Circus of the Other for whatever reason. If you want to make it out unharmed then here are some things to keep in mind:
1: make sure to get a nametag from the Ringmaster, this isn’t for people there to know your name, no it’s just so they know not to skin you.
2: do not open the two delivery men’s coffin. They won’t stop you or anything but let’s just say you’ll meet a horrible fate.
3: do not break or damage the taxidermy or you will be joining the taxidermy.
4: do not bring C4 or other explosives with you.
5: do not mention Cirque Du Soleil as they don’t like them. (The less you know about it the better)
6: do not compare them to Cirque Du Soleil, as that’s basically asking for a death sentence.
7: Generally just don’t ask any questions and just keep walking when you see something weird or disturbing.

avatars of the stranger may steal your skin but they'll never mess up your pronouns or call you by your deadname bc they know how sometimes you gotta drop an identity when it doesn't fit
