The real reason Michael has a British accent in FNAF…

I think i finally understand how the Distortion works. I mean, i don’t think it’s possible to ever fully understand it, and i don’t know the whole picture yet because i don’t know what Helen will be like, but i feel like i’ve just been granted a glimpse at the lovecraftian (as in ineffable) thing that is this being.

It’s not a person and a creature fighting inside one mind. There’s no Michael clawing himself to the surface to express his emotions and get his revenge.

Michael Shelley is dead. The Distortion became Michael. It sounds so simple, yet a least in my opinion it’s hard to fully understand.

I think what provides the best metaphor is a small thing the Distortion says after becoming Helen: "without a proper mind." The Distortion does not have its own mind. It’s only a what, but in order to really exist in this reality, it needs a who. It needs a body, but also a mind.

So if i understand this right, it’s like this: Michael Shelley is dead. His conciousness is not there anymore. And the Distortion got forced into that mind, an empty mind of a dead person. This doesn’t make it human, it’s still able to understand the impossible, it’s still the thing that was created to scare and kill. But in the mind it’s living in… the previous owner’s furniture is still there. It gets the dead person’s memories. It becomes Michael, in the sense that it has to be someone. Its existence got tied to being Michael, although Michael Shelley is dead.

When Michael got "emotional", that wasn’t Michael Shelley coming through. It was the Distortion grappling with the side effects of being someone - of living in a mind with all the memories and the human emotions that a human mind can’t fully turn off, even when the thing inhabiting it isn’t human at all.

The Distortion was Michael in the sense that it was thinking with Michael Shelley’s mind. When it became Helen, its consciousness, its being stayed the same, but it needed to adapt to this new mind. It could see clearer now, realizing that the windows of the previous house had been dirty, realizing that the wirings of the previous mind had driven it to do something that it actually didn’t want to do. The throat of the Spiral itself getting caught in the spiralling of its own, borrowed mind.

[sampegger]

do you guys think the writers would have taken it more seriously if it had been alastair around relentlessly tormenting dean in late seasons as opposed to lucifer with sam

In most of the fandoms I've been in there's always a specific AU that's really popular in both fanfiction and fanart and I've been wondering what that AU is for other fandoms.

For example, in the Hazbin Hotel fandom we have the "Overlord Husk wins Angel's soul contract from Valentino", for the Witcher fandom we have the "Geralt becomes a warlord and Jaskier is sent to him by Redania as trubute" and for the FNAF fandom we have the "Michael Afton travels back to the past to stop his father" etc.

So what's the equivalet in your fandom?

[turtlemurmurs]

had this vision randomly appear to me of the distortion being two faced, one being the dead and hollowed out Michael (just for funsies) and the other being Helen :D

lost my mind while I was doodling this concept because I was listening to MAG187 and I decided to take Jon's spiel as a way to concrete my decision to use this design ahahaa

[flalalamp]

meow

[ifyourereadingthisblinktwice]

I had a vision. Lizzie and Ava as Patrick and Kat from 10 Things I Hate About You

does anyone see my vision

[edge-oftheworld]

something that irks me that I’ve noticed is how because ashton (and to a lesser extent calum) present more masculine/tend to be more protective towards other band members etc there seems to be a stark difference in how the fandom perceives their need to be handled gently and shown it’s safe to feel things. and ik it’s probably a subconscious thing but think about it for a second please. and maybe we decide to make a more conscious decision to show our more masc presenting people we know it’s okay to feel things and be vulnerable yea?

Now I'm just thinking what glamrock Freddy's reaction to the underground scooper would be, maybe he would see it, and stumble back. Maybe he'd quickly check his stomach hatch. He doesn't know why he did it. Maybe he'd glance over at the scooping room window in a quick pang of horror. Maybe he didn't know what he was looking for in the glass. But maybe the feeling occurs to him that he's been in this kind of situation before. Surprisingly, Freddy has a thought that the outcome of this weird dejavu is the same as it always was.

He is full of many, many, wires.

This time, he thinks, they aren't going anywhere.

Very strange to me that the longer supernatural went on, the kinder it was to John Winchester and the uglier it made Chuck.

There’s something very. I don’t know. “Don’t blame your father, your father never did anything wrong. Blame God. Blame this thing that’s been secretly making your life worse this whole time, pulling the strings, controlling you and everyone around you.”

And the further we get into the show, the more Chuck becomes a Writer, rather than it being about God as a Father. (Never completely losing that aspect, obviously, just like Chuck was always a writer, but one of these parallels clearly superceded the other in terms of importance to the story.)
