Jurgen Leitner had 978 fucked up books in his collection at it's height, but we've only heard of 26 of them officially. So I thought it would be fun to come up with some possible additions of my own.

- a diet cookbook that the recipes when eaten will cause you to literally rot from the inside out, tied to the corruption.

- a version of the Little Prince where the prince never encounters anyone else in all his travels, every world is empty save for him and never makes friends. Slowly becoming sadder and lonelier throughout the book. Tied to the lonely and possibly the vast.

- a book of songs where none of the lyrics make sense and if sung the world too will reflect the complete nonsensical patterns of the music at least to the reader. Tied to the spiral.

- a version of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark that is even more sinister and as you read an overwhelming darkness weighs down on you until it swallows the reader whole. Tied to the dark.

- a guide to gardening that possesses the reader to dig, to feel the dirt beneath their skin, and to plant themselves deep within the earth. Tied to the buried.

- a cloud charting book that deceives the reader into seeing enormous beings in the clouds looming over humanity. Tied to the vast.

- a book on communication that makes the reader more and more paranoid as they read it slowly destroying any chance on actual communication. Possibly tied to the eye.

do you understand how funny this is

Gunpowder Tim plays Gawain.

He also plays Oedipus, who pulled his own eyes out

And Loki who has poison dripped into their eye.

Tim’s own eyes were burned out.

Did something happen to Gawain’s vision in legend?

the funniest thing to me about this whole tumblr sexyman debate is that it's being presented as like "tumblr veterans" who love cecil vs. these new young interlopers who love sans when like

but

girls, girls. you're both elderly.

What was your favourite song to perform in the mechanisms?

Sorry, I’ve been holding onto this ask for a while because it’s kind of hard for me to answer with one song. Playing live with a band is a dream come true for me.

To kind-of-sort-of answer your question, my fav *show* to do live is Ulysses Dies at Dawn, and I’m not alone among the band there.

I think the fact that the story’s characters are so much more active and talk so much more between songs brought the live show to life in a way that doesn’t come across on the album.

Much as I love Marius, I’d never drop character as Heracles between the moment the Suits are introduced and the moment they’re killed off - he was just too fun to do. It helped that we always seemed to perform UDAD in grimy basement clubs, which set the mood perfectly. I’d lean against a wall or pillar and mouth obscenities at the other characters while they fooled about with their dumb trials, push Orpheus around etc.

In fact, while I love it, I don’t think the studio version of UDAD’s a particularly great representation of the show it became - it got SO much more polished after a month of playing it every day in Edinburgh, and we got so much more confident with the characters, but we also needed the album cut and printed by the start of the run. It won’t happen now, but as we got more proficient as a band, we used to talk about re-recording the first three albums someday so we could get them just right. Music aside, I will tell you that I’m not a fan of my voice acting on the album, which was done in a hurry. I fixed it very quickly once I got some more performances under my belt but I’m a little sad that we didn’t record the album *after* the Fringe run.

had to make a blog just to ask this, and i hope you're having an excellent day (aside from the covid!)

for fanart purposes, how tall is kismet? and where's her cockpit/connpod/wherever the pilot sits? (if you have those details ironed out! if not no worries ofc!)

KISMET’s maybe 5-6 storeys tall, which is larger than most of the Armour that Byron and his friends discovered. But she’s unique, whereas most of the others are a standard model with a few variations, coming to about 2/3rds of KISMET’s height.

The control pod’s entirely in the head, which allows the internal control rig to right itself like a ball bearing, keeping the pilot upright whether she’s standing on the ground, hovering, flying horizontally, banking sharply or even rolling.

As you can see, she’s a little insectoid, like a dragonfly or butterfly. Her primary aerofoils and gunlances lock together in flight and separate when grounded. Missiles on her back. She’s not a melee-oriented mecha, so there’s no Gundam-style sword or anything. None of them really do that sort of thing.

What kind of question do you think Marius would wear for halloween (if halloween would even be a thing they celebrate)?

That’s easy, The Toy Soldier.

It actually happened - we all swapped costumes for a Halloween gig! So it’s canon or whatever. I’m sure there are pictures somewhere!

Marius mechanized a violin so that he could hit people over the head with it without having to repair it. How did he do this? He refuses to say.

He somehow stabs someone with it and it regrows while in them

Im gonna start just sending in my mechs hugs headcannons. Next up, gunpy tim!!

Do you think this man knows what a hug us?

Yes. Yes he does.

And God, is he good at them.

Good luck getting him to hug you on a whim, though. But if you come to his room when you're upset, and ask him for a hug, Tim will set his guitar, or guns, or the octokitten he was definitely not cooing over down to the side and open his arms. He'll draw you in close wordlessly, having you sitting in his lap as he wraps his arms around you. Tim guides your head to rest on his shoulder, and wraps an arm around your back, resting on your arm or side, with his other arm wrapped around your back. You turn, wrapping both arms around his shoulders and sinking into him as he gently rubs your back, humming some song he remembers from the moon's trenches. And when you eventually fall victim to slumber's sweet grasp, he will hold you there, leaning against the headboard and letting his mechanical eyes whir shut.

Aaahfkshfkhf thank you for this, I totally agree!!! Tim deserves to comfort the people he cares about!!! Another not shitty hug ask for us!!!

Oh by the way fun fact about Marius

There’s a distinction between psychology and psychiatry

the phrasing here implies that marius wasn’t just doing therapy without a license; he was also (or maybe just) prescribing medication
