Michael Shelley! Or just Michael in his disguise, who knows? Can you tell? 🙂

Two chapters into writing my DoorKeay fic inspired by @podcast-hemocytoblast's post about Michael coming back to the archives after being distorted, will post some quotes for y'all soon :)

Mr Bossman, how do you feel about the fact that Michael D. Stortion is such a popular and beloved character in the Magnus Archives fandom? Was that the intention when he was being created? Because I certainly do love the Hand Man

Honestly? It was 100% intentional. I told Jonny that we needed a semi-sympathetic monster for the structure of the story and referenced Greed from the original FullMetal Alchemist anime as an example. Someone that people would like as an edgy friend only to be confronted with the reality of their station and flaws and ultimately doubt if they were ever friendly at all. Jonny took that brief and then took Michael (who was already on the cards) and then added the extra elements needed to fit that role for the narrative. I'd love to claim ownership of such a fun character to write and direct for but that's definitely Jonny. it's actually a really good example of how we used to write together. Often I would just deal with stuff at a big-picture base principals kind of way spotting patterns and that and then I would trust Jonny to come up with the most captivating and upsetting way to meet that brief. I find he works best within specific bounds rather than just given a tabula rasa to work with.

Sorry to Michael D. Stortion for the low effort face, I’ve never drawn you before and this was the best I could do on short notice

[boyswillbedogz]

being a system is like a really bad crossover episode because why do we have sal fisher, c!ranboo, needles tmagp, michael d. stortion, ben drowned, airy hfjone, and revivebur sharing some dog's body & taking the appearance of a 14 year old emo idiot.

michael d. stortion my beloved (i am absolutely insane for this man)

okay I've been seeing these around and I wanted to do one for the TMA cast. here's a random wheel (link) featuring every character I can remember with a speaking role + a couple extras who don't speak but are still important to the plot or that I thought would be funny

Michael D Stortion wears platform heelies. Send tweet.

So I once read a tumblr post and it’s been haunting me since: since Michael D Stortion has really long fingers and is in general tall- are his toes also abnormally long???

They could be. Then again they could be wide. Wider than flippers, wider than spades, wider than the doors it strides betwixt and between. Or just, y'know, toe shaped. That would work too.

Fuck it close enough. Welcome back Michael D. Stortion

Something might be wrong here

Edit: had to add this pic as well because of course

Michael Shelley canonically has squishy cheeks and I demand you recognize this.
