Micheal and Helen headcanons?? (Only if u feel like it)

HELL YEAHHH

not a lot for michael tbh. but i do have a bunch for helen (both richardson and distortion).

pre-distortion helen was a bisexual so deep inside the closet she was practically in narnia. she knew that coming out or even exploring that any deeper than “oh, that exists, i need to hide it forever” would make her life infinitely worse, especially considering the people she’d surrounded herself with.

helen richardson had a form of depersonalization-derealization disorder that went completely undiagnosed her entire life.

the distortion didn’t want to be helen, but, to some degree, helen wanted to be the distortion. or, more accurately, she wanted to stop being herself, which is why helen distortion finds it so easy to talk negatively about helen richardson despite technically being her; it’s what she always thought of herself too. becoming the distortion was an opportunity for her to finally stop being who she was.

helen distortion’s favourite band is tv girl. helen richardson never listened to tv girl, but somehow, she knows that that particular preference originates from her.

helen distortion doesn’t actually have full control over the doors. they act as an extension of her, or she acts as an extension of them, and sometimes the doors just. appear. sometimes they correspond with her emotions. she gets a bit embarrassed about it everytime.
