[ID: Five shoulders up drawings of Mordred, Gawain, Guinevere, Arthur and Lancelot from High Noon Over Camelot. Mordred and Gawain are at the top, facing opposite directions with a sun blocked out by a scorpion tail behind them. Gawain’s hat is tipped so it covers his eyes. Under the title, that reads “High noon over Camelot: The Mechanisms” are Guinevere, Arthur and Lancelot Pendragon. They are surrounded by dust. Below the dust is a silhouette of Brian/Merlin hanging from the gallows. Below him is Preacher Galahad, the townspeople of Camelot and the Saxons on the other side of them. ID end]

[empty-blog-for-lurking]

i dont know how to explain it but to me udad and hnoc are like opposites of each other. (Under read more, cause it is loooooonnnnng)

With udad the situation everyone is in is bonkers shit. The world they live in is absolutely shithole of a place that exploits everyone but the richest of the rich and the people there cant escape even after their death. Every single one of them is bitter and depressed and wronged and just wants to survive and they'll do anything to survive even if it meant killing the other one. All the natural part of that world is long dead and only thing exists is this cold dark metallic hellscape of a city that swallowed its own planet like a cancer. Almost all the songs are just how everyone was exploited, used, wronged, and discarded they were. Ulysses is a drunk fallen 'hero' completely guilt ridden by their role in Illium's fall. They had lost everyone and everything even before the album began. They spent so much of their throughout album getting their shit beat in. They, Heracles, and Orpheus go to Hades (Ashes) in hopes to be freed whether as a request, through theft, or through a deal. And Ashes all but set them all up to die for their own amusement (which btw very sexy of them <3 but that is besides the point). There seemed to be no hope for them.

And yet, despite everything the ending is so hopeful. We know that Ulysses would die, if it wasnt obvious from the title of the album itself it certainly becomes obvious when we learn how their world works. And yet they died a happier ending, they escaped the curse of their city and died reunited with their love. Ulysses died under an oak tree in a grassy fields, among nature which was thought to be dead since The City's takeover. Ulysses died being warmed by sunlight, a right denied to so many others like them. Ulysses died at dawn.

And then there is hnoc. Hnoc starts heroic. Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere take over Camelot from the corrupt Stone clan through their skills and teamwork. They turn it into a place of safety with all three of them incharge. Their lives are hard and filled with violence and hatred and fear and the world they live is harsh and unforgiving. But they still have each other, and they still care for the people around them. There is nature like scorpions and vultures despite it being a space station. The album has songs about love and being in love, about hope of peace, about power of faith. Everyone wants to survive and they are willing to work together to do it. Arthur is embittered by his "daughter's" death but still has his partners to keep him grounded and is ruler/sheriff of a powerful town with lots of knights working for him. What is more, the tragedy that hardened both Arthur and Gawain can be healed because the person they mourn isnt dead, he is Mordred and he is here to make amends. Arthur, Gawain, and Galahad go to Merlin (Brian) to seek aid, and he gives them advice that truly could have saved them, because Merlin really did wanted to save them and the entire station. There seemed to be hope for them.

And yet in the end it meant nothing. It was all for nothing. Alfred and Gawain did not listen to Brian's advice and ended up sealing theirs and everyone else's fate. Galahad did take Brian's advice and it destroyed him in a self sacrifice that ended up being for nothing. Mordred tried so hard for peace but at the end seeing the hatred and cruelty of his world hardened him to the core. Gawain's hatred turned peace talks into war and turned him into sawage barbaric monster he thought Saxons to be. Arthur's hardened core did not let him hope that his child could ever return to him and ended up not giving Mordred even a chance. What could have saved everyone Fort Gallfridian ended up turning into what destroyed Fort Gallfridian whether it be the GRAIL or Mordred. Almost all of them died a pointless avoidable death. And Arthur? Arthur lost everything. He lost his partners, he lost his chance to embrace his son, he lost his home, he lost his people. He may have survived but at the end he lost everything. High noon over Camelot. We didnt understand what it truly meant (all of them dying in the sun) until it was too late.

Ulysses shoots once, and it led to their happy ending. Gawain shoots once, and it led to everyone's tragedy. 3 shots all for Ulysses and it killed them. 3 shots for Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere, and it hurt Arthur but never killed him. Ulysses was the only one who got to die under the sun, Arthur was the only one who didnt die in the sun.

A few more mechs doodles/sketches from tonight <333

[meowskeer]

are there any mechs fans out in the wild? pspsps (i drew guinevere)

[asthe-crow-flies]

love and blood and whiskey

[reegis]

They had always ruled as three, their ambitions kept in check by love for the other two

(aka mom said its my turn to draw the pendragons as that one iconic anne hathaway pic)

[a-bagel-no-two-bagels]

"and they knew that love had won, just this once there could be a happy ending"

yeah yeah okay but which of the pendragons actually would've won in the shootout over being captain? i've thought about this a bit and i think i have an answer.

guinevere absolutely would have won

during the gunfight at the dolorous guard it's said that she's the fastest draw, yes, but not that she has bad aim. quite the opposite, in fact. "her shots are clean and sure". and she had no problem killing two people in quick succession during that gunfight. as long as she shot arthur first, because he was a quicker draw than lancelot, guinevere would have won. and i believe this is recognized in "justice", "arthur could beat him on speed, but perhaps guinevere was counting on this"

tl;dr, guinevere was the quickest draw and had clean and sure shots, she would've won

anyways, i just like over-analyzing things. especially songs. so there's that.

technically mordred was the pendragon to win the shootout but we aren't gonna talk about that

[dropitdoeeyes]

Finally got around to designing the characters - heres our stars, Guinevere !

[ID: Two drawings of Guinevere from High Noon Over Camelot. The first drawing is a headshot that shows her face. She has a rectangular face and dark skin with acid burns on the left side of her face, going from her neck to her forehead. She is missing her left eye, part of her lips and the bottom half of her ear. She has long graying locs. She is wearing a reddish brown plaid shirt. In the second drawing, a fullbody, she is standing confidently and wearing a hat, bandanna, vest, flared pants, boots and a star shaped earing hangs from her ear. Her arms are crossed behind her back. END ID]

‘just this once there could be a happy ending’

‘-three shots rang out from the shadow of the doorway.’

It is 2023, this year we take the braincell away from female characters and let them be as silly and dumb and *flawed* as male characters
