#gertrude tma

[i-eat-mold]

just here to say that gertrude robinson is the single funniest character. she is THE character. she dies before the show even starts. shes an old lady that adopted an edgy teen and traveled the world. She is the avatar of one of the fourteen elditch horrors that feed on primordial fears, she had basically infite knowledge of everything and her plan to stop one of the rituals of a cult of another one of said list of eldrich horrors was to blow it up with a bunch of c4. we only find out about this because she stored all of the explosives in a random storage unit and the aforementioned edgy teen with mommy issues (who by the way, is dead, but when he died she sneaked into the morgue to put him inside a book) speaks through the book to the woman's succesor who, by the way, has no idea what the fuck is going on because neither she nor anyone else has bothered to explain shit to him, and tells him that she kept something important in the unit. we only find out about this after 100 episodes of the show. She feeds her subordinates to an all consuming monster/god, but its ok i guess. Later on (earlier on? at the same time? in a different timeline? after?) the literal end of the world and the end of the end of the world shes back and still has to deal with this stupid teenager who at least doesnt spend half his life focused on dyeing his hair and the other half about finding murder books (not as books about murder but as in, books who actively murder). She is a well experienced arsonist despite having no affiliation with the actual official arsonists club that is yet another cult to yet another one of the previously mentioned eldritch horrors. She is, however, metaphysically tied to the Chosen One, the Messiah of said cult, or some shit. She is absolutely terrible at her actual office job (on purpose). She dismembered a guy (who was her assistant) and probably commited several undocumented crimes against humanity. Once again, she has all seeing abilities and barely noticed her favorite assistant was torturing a coworker. She dares her murderous boss to kill her and gets surprised when he does so. When asked what to do about a literal Monster Pig, her advice is to encase it in cement. She was such a bitch. Her plan B was always to set things on fire. Her plan A was often to set things on fire. One of these instances was approved by her boss (the one who killed her). It is canon that the reason she started all this shit in her life was because the fire cult killer her cat. She sacrified another one of her assistants who became an avatar of the literal concept of Insanity but it was just a other thursday for her. She knows on a first name basis pretty much every person and monster affiliated with the eldritch horrors that she tries to keep at bay on the daily. She stopped a ritual for The Lonely by making the place a tourist destination. She has an ebay account. Instead of performing a ritual for the God that she was affiliated with, she wanted to destroy it and planned to 1. blind herself, and 2. set fire (yet again) to her workplace. It didnt work, because and her boss, who was also the one who was going to perform the ritual, finds her right before and kills her after she says he has no balls to do so. Also she is voiced by the mother of the main character's voice actor (who he named with his own, full, legal name) and the series' writer, which are the same person. Shes the worst, shes the best, i love her, we will never get anyone like her again, we need more characters like her.

Gerry Keay the man you are <3

Ft. My Michael design. Listen, I know Uncanny Valley is The Stranger not The Spiral TECHNICALLY but I've always viewed Micheal/The Distortion as looking like something you'd see in shitty analog horror tapes. Just something not right yk? Original images below the cut for anyone who wants them :)

Gerry: *stimming*

Michael: ...

Gerry: *stopping* Oh, sorry. Heh, didn't even reali—

Michael: Marry me.

Gerry: What?

Michael: *already in a wedding dress and holding a bouquet*

Helen: *playing the Wedding March with a kazoo*

Gertrude: *holding a file of statments as a bible* Gerard Anthony Keay , Do you take Michael Shelley as your lawful spouse, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until The Apocalypse (or I) do you part?

Gerry, somehow in a suit now: WAIT A FUCKING SECOND—

Eric,tearing up and saying in a really high-pitched voice: I'm so proud of you!

I love it when avatars have the power to take over all of mankind by feeding off fear and they take the time to make puns!! How thoughtful

Gertrude would be proud of the Magnus protocol

[yourlokalescholar]

Just finished relistening to MAG101, and my god Michael Shelley got done dirty. I really hope he comes back in Protocol because I NEED more of this poor, kind, naïve lad who wholeheartedly believed that Gertrude was a normal old lady who needed his help, whilst the whole time she was planning to kill him. Not only did he not suspect anything, but even after they landed in Antarctica and his mind started unravelling and all he could feel was pure, unbridled terror at this thing that can’t exist yet does, Michael still trusted Gertrude enough to walk through that door. Even after finding out she’d lied to him.

I need this guy to get more screen time

Agnes and Gertrude kissed. On the mouth. Many times.

You know it’s true. Reblog.

Peter Lukas lost a wager to Gertrude that she could keep Micheal oblivous for as long as the trip to Sannicov Land. . . That's why he took them.

The Real Reason Elias killed her

Day 23! I am actively using this to procrastinate history assignments so let's go >:']

Prompts:

And ngl I probably should have saved Michael getting door-ed for this but eh, here's Jan Kilbride minutes before Gertrude dismembered him to throw in the pit :'D

Boy is going through it
