My beloved Michael
Some TMA LGBTQ+ headcanon's because guess what I am. Some are meant to be serious. Some are just meant to be funny.
Jon Sims - Jon did not realize that asexual was not the default until he was in his 20's. He heard songs about wanting sex on the radio, and read books where lust was a driving emotion for characters actions, but he thought it was all overexaggerated feelings for media. It was actually when he was with Georgie that she told that some people actually do feel that way, much to his shock.
Martin Blackwood - He realized he was gay later in life than most people on account of being sort of a late bloomer who wasn't really into anyone until he was in his early twenties. He's always amazed by the people who just knew who they were. That was always kind of a battle for him.
Tim Stoker - He's a trans man, and his name was picked by Danny shortly after he came out. He actually thought "Tim" was kind of dull at first, but after some thought it really grew on him, and he liked having such a meaningful connection to his biggest supporter.
Sasha James - She's always looking for queer spaces because that's where she feels most comfortable considering her own identity. Meeting Tim, Jon, and Martin, and getting the chance to work with them was one of the best parts of her job, because it gave her a bit of community.
Melanie King - Melanie has never "technically" come out. She just started dating women and waited for everyone else around her to catch up.
Georgie Barker - She attends pride parades whenever they're around her. She like to be surrounded by community and see's pride events as great opportunities to make more connections. She has a lot of casual acquaintances from there, along with pins that she picks up from booths.
Basira Hussain - She spends a lot of time reading up on queer history. She finds it all very interesting to see how far LGBTQ+ people have come even with the various challenges. She's probably the most educated on this list, and various other characters know a lot as well! (Georgie, Jon, Gertrude, Martin, Especially.)
Daisy Tonner - She's a "I knew I was gay since I was two," person. So many people she knows have really long and nuanced stories about coming to terms with their queerness (Which is extremely valid!!!) while she just sort of always knew.
Peter Lucas - He headcanon's his boat as gay. It feels more familar that way.
Elias Bouchard - He loves rainbow capitalism. He launched the idea to Gertrude once about hosting their own pride night in June, but Gertrude pointed out that would be very homophobic/transphobic considering they would be plaguing queer people with nightmares. Elias thinks that's ridiculous since he's bi and doesn't care THAT much about the gender of his hosts, but whatever.
Gertrude Robinson - Gertrude has a small pride flag on her desk that Gerard left there. She leaves it because she's noticed that it makes statement givers more comfortable with her.
Gerry Keay - Gerard's gender is genuinely "whatever." He has intense gender apathy and is totally fine going by any pronouns. It's all on the table.
Hezekiah Wakely - His love language is writing letters, because he likes having something physical to remind him of all the sweet words he and another shared. Yes, this does have to do with his friend Nathaniel.
Jane Prentiss - She just gives me the vibes of someone who had a WLW situationship in college who fundamentally changed who she was as person.
Agnes Montague - She LOVES pride month because she finds the look of rainbows to be absolutely darling. She looks so forward to it.
Jude Perry - Conversation Jude has had at one point probably: "Have you ever noticed that the orange of fire kind of looks like the orange in a pride flag? No? Look harder then!"
Oliver Banks - He/they pronouns. A big reason he liked working at the gem store is because he got to wear a name tag with his pronouns and people respected them greatly.
Jared Hopworth - He has severely underanlayzed feelings for his childhood friend that was in "The Boneturner's Tale."
Distortion Michael - Michael made the homophobic vase because he was mad that being a spiral creature meant less men hit on him. If he can't be gay than no one can.
Distortion Helen - She sometimes spares LGBTQ+ during pride month to be themed. She kills them once the month is over, but the thought is there for 30 days. #LoveWins.
Nikola Orsinov - Less of a headcanon, more of a story. I read TMA on Github before I listened to it, and some fucking how I thought Nikola was a guy the entire time I was reading. I figured it out once I listened to TMA and actually registered the "her" pronouns Jon was using, but something about me being confused about her gender feels very genderfluid in a way I think a stranger creature would appreciate. But the actual headcanon is: They will take on other genders whenever they get bored with the one they currently have.
Michael Crew - Mike is romantically interested in men, but he also doesn't think about that a whole lot considering his life circumstances, so he's unlabeled. And don't try to label him on his behalf because he hates being boxed in. If you call him bi/gay then he's going to make a big deal about possibly being the other one just out of spite. It doesn't matter if you're technically correct or not.
Simon Fairchild - I feel like he's a very "he's confused, but he's got spirt!" type. Like, if he met a gay person it would go like this: Simon: "Do gay people like roller costars?" Gay person: "We aren't a hivemind." Simon: "Oh." Simon: "Do trans people like roller coasters?"
Anabelle Cane - Lesbian. That's my only headcanon for her but that's the one that feels most important to me.
"Whaaaat no I totally don't relate to Michael at all—"
Doodled a couple tma characters, I love seeing my guys
It's the 1 year anniversary of me designing my Michael and starting TMA so I thought I'd draw him celebrating :]
Michael Distortion is very gender, not just in the sense that its voice and personality and appearance are gender but also in the body horror “I do not want to be Michael” identity crisis way. In this essay I will—
Heheeehh silly cryptid. THE BRAIN WORMS. THE BRAIN WORMS ARE BACK (they never left).
What was said to him? Who knows!
