A little playlist about Michael Shelley’s journey from man to monster, with annotations because I can’t help myself.

once again i am thinking about the way Mary refers to Gerry as “her Gerard” and “my Gerard” in MAG 4. it sounds so possessive. it’s like his title, almost, a clear way of saying he belongs to her. also she’s already a ghost at this point, haunting his every step, controlling what he does from beyond the grave. then when he dies, he is bound to the Catalogue and literally made into an object just because he’s useful. he’s treated as nothing more than piece of paper to be passed around when there’s a tough question in need of answering.

and then in MAG 80, Jon snickers and says “that’ll be our Gerard.” it’s a show of camaraderie and admiration. it sounds like an old inside joke, though Gerry isn’t there to hear it and they haven’t even met yet. there’s no possessiveness, no claim, just a ‘we’re on the same side.’ in MAG 153, because mr. waistcoat cannot let me know peace, Jon says to Julia and Trevor, “Gerry wasn’t yours.” someone finally treats him as his own person. not his mother’s son, not an asset, not a piece of that book. Jon uses that nickname and sets his soul free and reaffirms Gerry’s personhood.

Jon was the only person and Gerry has no idea

"I asked ChatGPT--"

Yeah well, I asked the wasps nest in my attic. It sang its answer so beautifully to me, but I am so very afraid of it. Perhaps it will soothe my itching soul...

The mommy issues in TMA are off the wall. Here's an abusive cold mother, there's an abusive cold mother. Is she a mom? Then you can bet your ass she's going to have the deft tones of a Adora Crellin french kissing the Evil Queen from Snow White. Mother figure? Don't think you're safe either — she won't tell you about the brain tumor you have and when it kills you she won't even cry about it and you'll feel stupid for thinking she ever would. There's a big evil monster spider and we call her "The Mother" too. Even the grandmother's are like at best fed up with you and tired of having to provide for others, and at worst segmenting you And what makes it so much weirder is that Jonathan Sims our writer seems to have a super chill fun relationship with his cool english teacher Mom — such to the point she agreed to act in his podcast, PLAYING A COLD AND CALCULATING MOTHER FUCKER.
