Talk:The Distortionist/@comment-33790763-20171216001345

Okay, but what the fuck was up with this part?

"You'd best stay away from them.  They've hurt me badly...  One could even say they're abusive.  I hate them.  Care to join me?"

Like, what is up with that part? Is it The Distortionist referring to the mirrors? Did he grow up in an abusive family (Ghost if he did then I gotta ask, why are you so obsessed with abusive families?), is it storyteller from COMMUNICATIONS, WHAT IS UP WITH THAT PART?

Okay, now, I got a quick lil theory.

I think that the beginning part hints that Christopher grew up in an abusive household, where he was often verbally abused by his parents, often told that no matter what he and his sister did, it would never be good enough. His sister, a more social person than him, started to get the feeling that everyone else hated her as well, even though they said nothing of the sort. No matter how many times her friends told her that no, they didn't want her to die, she often denied that they were telling the truth. She grew paranoid, and she eventually developed depression. The last time Christopher saw her was in her room, with a bloody knife next to her, and her heart in her hands.

Chris, however, kept on trying to gain the approval of his parents, but to no prevail. Then, one morning he discovered a very unique ability, when he saw an entirely different person when he looked in the mirror. He changed with the reflection, and suddenly, he fit his parents' image. He was everything they wanted him to be. Naturally, he wanted to stay this perfect for his parents, to keep this sense of worth, so he kept using the mirrors.

However, things went awry as Chris got older. He grew into a selfish thief, and he always used the mirrors to reflect him as a good person, so he couldn't get caught. However, one mirror becomes self aware, and realizes that it is reflecting the wrong reflection of Christopher, and it reflects who he really is. Naturally, Chris gets angry, and smashes the mirror. The other mirrors realize just what a monster Chris really is, and they burn off his skin, revealing the monster he was trying to hide. From then on, he was banished to an alternate dimension, and dubbed The Distortionist.

Sorry for the essay, but the fact that The Distortionist has a name is what really gets to me. Like, the only characters Ghost owns that have actual names are parts of the Communications series. So, what does this mean? Is Ghost starting a little mini-series with Christopher as the lead?

...Could Happy Days and Candle Queen be involved with this?

Sorry this is so long. Sorry if it's bad as well, but this song has been messing with me for a while.
