Did y’all know I love TMA too?? I’ve had the Magnus Protocol brainworms since listening to it earlier so here’s my (very subject to change) designs for Alice and Sam until the fandom agrees on something 🫡
Bonus ‘Chester’ and ‘Norris’ doodle in the corner 👁️
Why the hell is it always so impossible to find decent reference pics of fat people? Why when I need to find a reference of a side profile all the results are for fat removal plastic surgery? The why is rhetorical, we all know why. I hate it so much. Let me see the beautiful photos of fat people enjoying looking good just like the photos of everyone else.
gerrymichael wip for tmp day!!! this is ib/collab with @/lem0ndu2t on instagram! we’re both drawing gerry doing michaels makeup :D gotta go listen to tmp now
Oh no. Thinking about Michael hanging on as a ghost after he dies in the Spiral’s ritual (while also living on, in a way, as Michael Distortion). Haunting Gertrude in the Archives. And then is joined by another ghost, Gerry, who doesn’t get the book treatment but instead joins him haunting Gertrude. And of course they fall in love.
“someone who allows you to rest” is the relationship dynamic of all time
A parent that welcomes you back home after things have fallen apart. A best friend whose voice alone who can make you relax. A spouse who convinces you to stay in bed an extra hour and leave the dishes for later. A stranger who sees you tired and gives up their seat on the train. Augh. The humanity of it
At the end of the day the couple Gerry Michael or Doorkeay, whatever you prefer, doesn’t make sense.
They are characters that have no way of having met each other unless Eric Delano invited Michael for dinner once when Gerry was like… a toddler, you know? In terms of time it doesn’t make sense, but what I believe happened with these characters is most likely the sunshine x grumpy trope, but the more I think of it is more complicated than this.
I believe that as a fandom we saw two guys who were completely abandoned in some sort of way, touched by the same people (Gertrude, Eric…) and I just think that we collectively believed that these two underdogs gravitated around one another until they found themselves somehow and that’s why I believe everyone represents them as Gerry X Distorted Michael, because what I think happened is almost what @occudo represented in their Gertrude is still around AU, in which Michael tries to kill Gertrude because he is angry at her (RIGHTFULLY) and while I think he would do that, I believe that he is mislead by the energy she leaves and finds Gerry, instead.
Anyways, my point was that I really think that they are a nice, sad couple if you think of it, because they (like Rihanna said lol) found love in an hopeless place, and kind of made the best of it all with what they had, they bonded over the memories of the people they loved and I love that.
Even if they don’t really make sense I like the aesthetic of them and I think they are very cute together.
On another note read Occudo’s stuff because they are so talented it makes me cry, although they don’t have the Gerry X Michael, they have a lot more stuff which is just as incredible.
the curse having character thoughts but none of them are coherent

cannot emphasize enough how a good piece of media can reset a creative slump. stop putting off consuming that media because you “should be writing instead” and then not write either
I need Gerry and Michael bonding over lost teenage years together… destroying eachothers hair and doing diy piercings and stick and pokes in the bathroom while blasting music, staying up all night, drinking and smoking, going to gigs, just enjoying themselves and being reckless without having to worry about the consequences for once
To bury my head in the crook of your neck. to lock my fingers with yours. to run my hands through your hair. to pull you closer by your waist. to lay my hand on your jaw and look into your eyes. to love you. with everything i’ve got.
to kiss you all over your face, to caress your cheeks, to whisper in your ears, to hold your face and put our heads together, to watch while you telling me about your day, to listen to everything you say, to love you wholeheartedly 💌
Thinking of an au where Michael survives through Gertrude’s tenure as Archivist and becomes Jon’s assistant, and besides all the shenanigans that would ensue with that, he witnesses Jon’s very professional interest in Gerry the Leitner-burning goth, and Michael’s sitting there wondering if he should tell Jon he’s crushing on his actual boyfriend, or if he should hold onto that information until the most hilarious moment.
Ace Jon getting to experiment with non traditional sex in comfortable situations and aro Gerry getting to enjoy loving and being doted on despite his trauma because they trust each other wholly and never set expectations for the relationship
They’re Virgo + Taurus to me so they both love the stability of knowing they can always lean on one another, and Jon’s dedication balances with Gerry’s going with the flow to keep them from drifting but also not smothering each other
any plans for the weekend? yeah i’m gonna be sitting on my floor staring at the walls thinking about how tim killed himself for nothing. yeah the ritual would have failed whether he was there or not. tim could have lived. he could have learned how to love again. anyway yeah that’s me, what are you doing for the weekend
Ship ask game bc I think they’re fun and I had a few ideas
—
Who would ask “would you still love me if I was a worm?” and how would the other(s) respond?
Who comes up with the best date night ideas?
Who’s better at carnival games?
Who drags the other(s) onto a rollercoaster?
Who does the most chores?
Who gets drunk the quickest?
Who watches the most reality tv?
Who insists their way is better even though it’s objectively the worst way?
Who believes in ghosts?
Who texts the most memes to the other(s)?
Who makes the most typos/autocorrect mistakes?
Who’s a more nervous flyer?
If they have matching pfps, are they cute, funny, weird, etc?
Who’s better at writing professional emails?
Who steals the other(s)’ food?
Who’s more willing to commit murder for the other(s)?
Their child is chanting “McDonalds! McDonalds! McDonalds!”, who says they have food at home, joins the chant, or buys a single black coffee and leaves?
Usually Jon, Gerry will wake up to a deep cleaned flat because Jon was having a bad insomnia night and decided to tidy up to keep himself sane. There are also definitely periods where it’s neither of them though when the depression gets bad, they may be surrounded by 100 half drunk tea mugs and monster cans but at least they got some rest for once:’)
Bless you forever for asking about my favourite boys…… thank you….
I could ask most of the list tbh, but jongerry 1 and 12 if you please!
THANK YOUU<333
1. Who would ask “would you still love me if I was a worm?” and how would the other(s) respond?
Gerry would ask and Jon says he would probably keep him in a little glass container like a specimen, Gerry just frowns. Kind of ironic considering if Jon asked him the same he would say step on you without hesitation
12. Who’s a more nervous flyer?
Gerry is very used to travel, he enjoys the quiet time, so Jon for sure. He has to be off his tits on xanax or something before flying and Gerry finds it incredibly amusing seeing uptight ol’ Jon struggling to keep his head up and talking complete nonsense
[ID: A digital drawing of Gerry Keay sleeping on a muted red blanket background. He is a straight-sized white man with long, badly dyed black hair with brown roots and brown streaks, small eye tattoos on all his joints and over his heart, burns all over his body from the neck down, eye bags, and patchy stubble. He has a bridge piercing, snakebites, two ear piercings and black nail polish, and he is wearing an old torn up grey crop top with giant holes in it, black boxers with holes in them, and white and gray socks. He is sleeping peacefully with one hand up near his head, the other pinned under his back, and one foot crossed over the other leg and pinned under the other knee. There are three “z"s by his head. end ID]
