Back with more Michael angst!
The Distortion hates cold temperatures. It didn't used to, but then it became Michael. Typically, the Distortion takes whatever form it likes, though the pattern of something-that-looks-like-Michael is one of the easiest, the least complex. (It's very complex, actually, but Michael Shelley was so good at being this one specific human that, if the Distortion wants to look like something other than a door, that pattern is so close to hand.) But the instincts of Michael are interwoven into the instincts of this endless Concept, and when it's cold, the Distortion is reminded of Russia. It's reminded of a place that doesn't exist. It's reminded of a map. It's reminded of words, that he wouldn't die if he was careful. And he was careful, and he hadn't died. But what happened was worse. It remembers the last time he was betrayed before he became betrayal.
And somehow, lost in all the memories of something that both is and is not itself, the Distortion finds itself wearing a heavy coat and scarf, in muted earthy browns and greens so unlike its preferred aesthetic. Sometimes, it finds that it's crying something that could arguably pass for tears. It never quite remembers how it got to this shape.
That simply cannot do. So it avoids winters and cold temperatures and Russia. Or at the very least, it leaves the door outside, and hides inside where temperature and space mean as much as time and colour and truth.
Everyone read this it’s my new favourite thing

I remembered what it was about ten seconds after posting
Anyways if the distortion can be summoned by knocking on a wall and wanting to talk to it, that implies that it’s constantly aware of all walls and the emotions of the people near them. Distortion would probably vibe with the web in an alternate universe
I was having complex thoughts about the distortion, truly expanding my concept of reality by way of the funny gay door thing, and then i got distracted and forgor
On the one hand when first listening to that bit i shouted SAM YOU IDIOT STOP FILLING OUT HORROR PAPERWORK
On the other i sometimes actively seek out weird surveys for the hell of it so i feel like if i came across a form that weird i would probably fill it out too
sam just saying fuck it and filling out any and all weird paperwork sent his way is such a specific kind of chaotic, i’m obsessed with this guy
the funniest part is that ive been looking for that article snippet (albeit halheartedly) for months and THIS is the post that i rediscover it on
Thank you tumblr for being eternally on-brand and helpful in only the most convoluted of ways
a moment of silence for Dvorak users trying to appear submissive
Yknow what? Fuck it. Boosting my luck stat for this week
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
New bot account format guys! Username made up of a few words usually, no dashes, and with a single random-ish post or reblog on it. They tend not to have their like or follow list visible, and they follow you out of nowhere and then don’t interact further. Interesting construction.
This is the funniest thing to see on my dash without context
This is taking too long.
Now there will be 30 polls a day instead of 10.
On twitter I’m seeing dozens of threads from Black activists warning people against burnout, giving all sorts of useful tips about preventing and managing it for the sake of a long-term, sustainable effort.
On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.
Be careful who you get your information from. Don’t let guilt lead you to make choices that will harm both you and the movement.
I did a little 180 degree spin this is so cool
