#actaea and lyssa

[cindytoast404]

i think we as a society need to talk about actaea and lyssa more actually

the overlapping melodies at the end??? the vocals???

[flamet-draws]

Mechtober Day 12: Belief

“Starving, hunting // Can't tell my prey from my friend”

[not-a-hawk]

Actaea and Lyssa. You agree. reblog.

[reegis]

shout out to Actaea and Lyssa for being the most literal TMA hunt-aligned song of All Time listening to it on repeat makes me want to run off and live in the woods & attack people from the treetops

[confusedgeckotree]

thinking about... Actaea and Lyssa

And also Daisy and Basira.

Just.

Thinking.

[judebilation]

i will go feral over actaea and lyssa, because why is it so good, AND WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THIS. yes, i love the rest of the album. alice and swan song, yes, very much. WHY DOES THIS SONG GET TO SOUND GOOD. the first part?? and then the contrast to the second half?? words are not conveying my feelings about this song.

assigning Fear Entities to characters in mechs albums, as Normal people do (specifically ttbtvii)

[majorshatterandhare]

Today I, an aromantic, was getting ready to attend a wedding… with Stranger on repeat.

[daily-mechs-songs]

Actaea and Lyssa

[oughtnots]

cringetober day 15, "song lyrics". EASY when you already have a character playlist

[cryptile]

There's something about Brian's and Tim's vioices together in a song, they sound so good together for some reason.

Same with Raphaella and the Toy soldier, i did NOT have a normal reaction to Actaea and Lyssa

Second to last poll of this manner, it’s

“Tales To Be Told Vol. 2” ‘s turn!!

[neitherabaron]

idk if someone has already asked this and of course you dont have to answer but who was your favorite mechs character(s), not including any characters you played, and including the other mechs themselves?

Nastya. Zero hesitation. Easily the most well-defined and fleshed out character out of the crew, and that’s all down to, well, Nastya. They put a lot of work into her.

Everyone loves Nastya and they’re 100% correct.

On the albums, they’re not deep, complex characters or anything, but I love Actaea and Lyssa.

[a-wondering-thought]

greetings!

I really like your blog theme,, I thought it said sunlight dapples through the leaves, which is a lyric from a song by the mechanisms,, but to my knowledge you don't listen to the mechanisms,, so if you wanna know who they are you can ask me (please do I'm kinda obsessed [you don't have to tho like no pressure])

(this is the song I thought you used a lyric from)

(and this is a song by them that I am obsessed with at the moment)

sorry for yapping, have a nice day/night

Hello there!

That's so nice, thank you! You would be right in that, before I read this I hadn't heard of The Mechanisms before, however, I went and listened to the songs you have told me about and I really like them! They've got a great sound and its all based around storytelling through song which is amazing(I'm definitely changing it to the lyric now)

I would definitely like to hear more about them if you don't mind telling me! (this is me saying yes please tell me all about your obsession I would love to hear)

I'm actually really excited by listening through Ulysses Dies at Dawn because the person narrating is Jonathan Sims(or Jonny D'Ville) and he does some other stuff I love. I'm definitely going to listen to more of The Mechanisms stuff

(I love their voices! they work so well together!)

please don't apologise, this was wonderful!
