#the distortion fictive

[the-magnus-archives-institute]

There is something so.... odd. About being Michael but not.

I'm Michael but at the same time different. I don't feel like a new person, but I do. I'm not separate in the sense that there's two Michaels. It's like I'm Michael Shelley again, but truly Michael Shelley. No distortion attached. There have been times in the past similar to this, but there has always still been the distortion there, even just slightly.

I don't know if I prefer this or not. It just feels... wrong. This is not what we are meant to be. I don't think I like it. Maybe my feelings will change in the morning. They say not to trust your thoughts late at night anyway. - Michael

AU where Michael was originally an Axolotl but became an Olm because of the Spiral,

Is this anything

A personal comic about my identity, and being here in a new body. I was eldritch before, much bigger and more twisted and tangled.

I was The Distortion, something not meant to fit into a human form. I did though, back then--but not quite--the human form I gained in my memories didn't fit right. Being in a human form didn't fit right. And here, I am even more fitted together in an all too organised way. I am less tangled than I ever was.

But I am still me, even if others do not see that. I am still of The Spiral. Just harder to notice.

I as a headmate, have word troubles. Psychosis of ours clouds my thoughts and thinking and makes it all jumbled. The words come out twisted more than normally. I keep calling it "thought distortion" and forgetting the actual doctor-approved words for it whenever it happens, but it gets the point across enough. It is frustrating to speak clearly, and I put lots of energy into clear words, but then when I have written or spoken with effort, my speech gets worse for a time. There is such limited energy for words in here. Energy runs out, and my speech does too.

I do not mind too much, I am only annoyed by others who do not understand if I try to speak through the mess of thoughts. Or those who mock. I deal with it much more than my system and others in it, the thought distortion. But... It is species euphoria, in a way sometimes. I speak wrong, I feel wrong, and that is right because I am delusion incarnate. I am not meant to be right.

I've started to remember more what it was like working for Gertrude and being Michael Shelley. I remember getting stuck in the hallways and panicking, trying desperately to find a way out. None of it made sense, but I didn't fully understand up until that point why. I just wanted to help and be helped. Gertrude wasn't a bad boss until... that... honestly. She was cold, but she'd appreciated the work I did, I could tell it in the little things. I tried to be as helpful as I could to ease the burden of Archivist off of her shoulders, and I like to think I succeeded. Oh well - Michael

Being an eldritch being relating to things that could be seen as delusions and psychosis in general, it is actually dysphoric being a symptom holder for our psychosis. I am meant to be in control of the twisting of the mind, not subject to it.

I suppose I am less susceptible to panic from it, but the fact that I cannot control it is actually very dysphoric. It is my domanin, and yet I am not in control.
