theres nowhere near enough ivy appreciation. Like this might be because I run an ivy rp blog but she's not appreciated enough by the fandom. She deserves to be more of a bastard. Her life isn't entirely books, her life isn't entirely her archives it's her crew even if she's scared to show it. Her life is her family who she doesn't know how to interact with. Like I know it's canon she was raised in a library but it keeps making me upset that noone else appears to think Ivy sticks to her archives in hopes she can find a way to communicate with her crew, with her friends and with her family like how she sees others do, in hopes someday she can be someone else- Someone else confident enough to curl up in Tim's arms and act like a cat without having a breakdown.

No additions, you’re just right

I get no gender from Tim :(

my gender lies with Raphaella, Toy Solider, and Nastya always <3

So real…..

[mechsconfessions]

i think this is probably not the most unpopular opinion but i really like the different ways people write and draw lyf. it’s like the fandom has their own collective oc that everyone has completely different opinions of.

I LOVE that no one can agree on just one Lyf, it’s fantastic

[mechsconfessions]

I feel like the fandom is really alienating to women (and especially transfems) with all the “every mechs fan has gender envy for [male character]!!!!” Like damn idk maybe you just only surround yourself with a certain demographic and don’t consider that other people exist. Idk I’m transmasc too so maybe this isn’t my place to say anything but it just irks me when people make sweeping generalizations like that that prioritize a certain type of gender expression (white, skinny, male)

No additions honestly

Marius backs up everything he says with

“Trust me, I’m a doctor”

And you KNOW this man LEAPS to his feet whenever anyone says “is anyone here a doctor???”

Jonny is the same when people ask “are you the ships captain?” And no one else is around to say no

ashes gives best cuddles send tweet

So real….

[mechsconfessions]

Lyf anon from before, to explain the fan interpretations thing - a lot of fan content I've interacted with has made Lyf this shy, vaguely weak character who needs the Mechs to protect him or something and it sometimes makes me think that I listened to a very different album than everyone else. Lyf literally hates the Mechs, he says it flat out in Expert Testimony. I'm not saying they couldn't become friends, but Lyf is NOT how I feel he's constantly portrayed in fan content.

Woobification at its worst….

[mechsconfessions]

At first i thought the mechanisms consisted only of 4 people and they would just play with their voice to get different tones to sing different characters

Considering how much they change their voices in the first album i can see where you got that idea!

[mechsconfessions]

i havent listened to ttbt2 yet just because i dont want to be out of mechs content :(

I haven’t listened to DTTM for the same reason </3

[mechsconfessions]

i once had a dream i saw art where somebody whitewashed ashes and i was so disturbed i woke up immediately

HELLO?? I would wake in a cold sweat

[mechsconfessions]

I had to write crew rules for something I was doing and I want to see what you think ( I promise it looks better on my doc) the parentheses next to sub-bullet points are whose writing it

Aurora Crew Rules written by Ivy Alexsandra, edited by Marius, The Toy Soldier, and  Raphaella 

 No Violence/Murder in the Kitchen

Exception A  Jonny Fridays

Exception B  Extreme hide and seek

Exception C  Toaster malfunctions

No Eating Octokittens

Tim, Raphaella, TS, and myself are the only ones allowed to feed them 

 Do Not Interrupt Anyone's  Date Night and Don’t be there on Aurora and Nastya’s 

If You Shoot Aurora, You Help Fix Her

No Fire/Ammunition or shooting  In the Archives or you will be banned 

All Cops Are Bastards no matter the situation 

Ex-Inspector Second Class Lyfrassir Edda is the only Exception (Marius)

No Grenades in the Garden Without Brian's Express Permission

No One Touches the Sewing Machine except Jonny or Any One New that Can Actually Sew 

 No Airlocking Anyone Except The Toy Soldier

 No PDA in the communal areas

DO NOT UNDER ANY CERTAINSTANCES MAKE A COMMENT ON ACCENT 

If someone goes a week without sleeping, Drugging or Killing is an acceptable means to get them to sleep 

 Don’t get mad and shoot Raphaella if you agree to be apart of her experiments and  you die 

 Only Nastya and  Brian are allowed to make breakfast 

 TS, Marius, myself, and Lyfrassir are only allowed to make dinner 

 Ashes, Jonny, Tim and Raphaella are NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ALIND TO COOK 

But Jonny Actually Can Cook He Just Hides It (TS)

Good to know but he still let Ashes burn dinner (Ivy)

  Don’t touch Ashes slushies in the freezer 

Ashes is aloud to steal your use of Pronouns 

Cheating at games with Ashes or Jonny Is aloud 

In Fact  it is very much encouraged (Raph)

The Rules must be lamented and  sat on the top of the fridge BUT IF STOLEN THE ONLY RULES STILL LEFT IN EFFECT ARE FOOD RELATED ONES AND THE SEWING ONE 

The rules would never ever be followed, but it’s the thought that counts

I made my dad listen to the mechs and his reaction to ouatis was “wait, they’re dead?? For good?” And i was like “yeah lol” and he was like “that’s bullshit! That’s so sad!” And I was like “theres a song called no happy endings.”

I think your dad just discovered what a tragedy is /lh

[mechsconfessions]

all of the mechanisms are transfem sorry i dont make the rules

Real and true….

[mechsconfessions]

anyone else think its a bit weird that theres a decent amount of drawings of nastya with facial hair and not that many of ashes with facial hair even though we only have one photo of nastya with a beard and the in the majority of ashes photos they have sideburns?

(just to be clear im not saying drawing nastya with a beard is bad. thats not true.)

I’m an Ashes beard truther myself

[mechsconfessions]

i am tired of people who use the mechs as jonathan sims (tma) ‘s college band and nothing else. on one hand i could possibly see it. on the other hand stop butchering everything. georgie (tma) never played anyone in the mechs. can i please just. just get a good mechs x tma that isnt That

My all time favourite TMA Mechs thing is that nothing is different except for Nikola is actually The Toy Soldier

[mechsconfessions]

I feel like shit but also being silly, I want to write some silllyyy nastyajonny fics but idk when I'll have the time. If I do, do you want me to dm you the link? (Why I'm asking in the ask box? Seeing if anyone else talks abiut ti so I can borrow ideas)

Girl YES I want the link I read most every mechs fic my friend write
