Michael Keay Joins the blog!

(Two versions so it's easier to see)

Here is everyone's favorite book burner turned book! Michael is the son of Jurgen Keay, and he started burning books in an attempt to keep his dad safe from the Lietners he was trying to collect. (thanks to @thecatchat for the great idea!) As you can see from the tattoo on his neck, Michael does have various tattoos all over his body to repentant the 14 fears, from his fathers insistence. Jurgen seemed to believe that if *every* fear wanted to claim you, none of them could. Michael didn't believe that, but he got the tattoos for his father. Now, Michael is a ghost in the skin book. He wants to believe things will get better, he *has* to. If no one can try, he will. Even in death, he tries to do what he can, even if the hunters he's with are... Frustrating.

… I bet Gertrude was PISSED at not having realized how the rituals worked sooner cause Michael was literally just RIGHT THERE marked by EVERY SINGLE FEAR and she didn’t even try to use him to get off a ritual-

pov your special lil marked boy died of cancer before you realized, so now you have to start all over

So, we talked about this on Discord but asdcfghjj

I'm in love with Hopepunk Pastel punk Michael Keay bound into the End Book by Jurgen "if all the Fears have a claim on me, they'll all cancel out" Keay, worst father of the year.

Also, Jurgen buying haunted books to do that and Michael burning books to protect his dad in contrast to Canon!Gerry burning them to spite his mom is just !!!!!!!

When I get the chance, I can't wait to draw ghost Michael. He is So interesting to my brain. Rotating him like a rotisserie chicken.

My headcanon for Michael Keay is that he’s constantly accused of wearing a wig (Kind of like how the first thing people notice about Gerard is that he cannot dye his hair to save his life)

canon now. Holy shit. That or someone saying his curls are fake.
