I've been tagging Twilight as a twili in the other posts but finally, here he is! Poor guy is not used to the twili form yet but he's very comfy as a wolf (even if his wolf form changed too once he became a twili, still a wolf)

May change the clothes later bc I'm not too happy with them, but otherwise I like this look ^^

When Soap finds out that you- his sweet, unassuming darling- has a tattoo that goes under the curve of your side boob, he goes feral. Pray for your boob cause he's gonna spend hours abusing it with bites and kisses until you're aching and bruises are left for days. Good luck getting any mercy from him, he won't think you deserve it for hiding it from him (you honestly forgot about the tattoo, but your pleas fall on deaf ears).

Am I (39M) the asshole for telling my partner (36M) of fourteen years that I’m not gay? 

No, I am not gay, but I do have an adopted daughter with him, share a bed with with him, and we own and run a restaurant together. I went out with a woman yesterday for the first time in years, and he’s mad at me. I didn’t even sleep with her! Am I the asshole?! 

Edit: No, me and the partner are not having sex. 

Edit #2: We adopted our wonderful daughter eleven years ago because we’re family and that’s all I’m going to say in the matter all of you fuck off. 

Edit #3: Stop replying to this post goddamn it I will apologize to him. 

Edit #4: I’m gay.

The Bifrost Incident has a happy ending, actually. (sort of.)

Disclaimer- This contains spoilers for every Mechanisms album

-This only discusses lyrics, not the music itself. This is because I have no musical background.

The Mechanisms are a band known for their queer steampunk retellings of mythology and fairy tales. These retellings inevitably end in the tragic deaths of all the characters, to the extent that a song in their first album is aptly titled “no happy endings”. However, despite the dark tone of all of the Mechanisms’ stories, it is important to keep in mind that they don’t take place in an utterly hopeless universe. In the words of frontman Jonny D’ville, they just avoid telling stories with hopeful endings because “it’s boring”. Superficially, The Bifrost Incident (TBI) follows the precedent set by other Mechanisms stories - all of the characters on the Bifrost die horribly or are transformed into monsters, and Loki and Sigyn’s sacrifices only delay the destruction of the rest of the Yggdrasil system.

However, when examined more closely, TBI’s ending is by far the most optimistic of any Mechanisms album. For example, Loki and Sigyn’s deaths can be seen as a happy ending for their characters, where they are finally together again. The idea of a character’s death being a happy ending for them also appears in Ulysses Dies At Dawn (UDAD). However, for Ulysses, “thoughts of revolution are long gone”, and their death changes nothing about their world, but Sigyn leads the Midgardian resistance until her sacrifice, which allows the “fall of the old order” to take place. Ultimately, Sigyn’s mission is a success. Both Ulysses and Loki die the last natural deaths on their worlds, but while Ulysses dies alone, Loki and Sigyn can comfort each other.

Another hopeful aspect of Loki and Sigyn’s deaths is that they emphasise that they are “together”, after years forcibly separated. Similarly, in OUTIS Cinders and Rose Red finally reunite after decades apart. The characters of Rose Red and Loki have parallels, as they both worked for a dictator who later removed their autonomy and separated them from their partners. Cinders and Sigyn are both high ranking members of worlds oppressed by the government that their partners worked for, and against which they later rebel. However, in OUTIS, Rose Red is killed by the antagonist, leaving Cinders “weeping” over her body, while in TBI, Loki tells Sigyn to “shed no tears”. Another contrast between these endings is that Rose dies as soon as Cinders finds her, whilst in TBI Loki is the one to seek out Sigyn, who she asks to slowly kill her. The repetition of “this time” in TBI may reference the similar ending of OUTIS. Perhaps this suggests that Loki and Sigyn are reiterations of Rose Red and Cinders, bookending the Mechanisms’ careers. However, this time Loki takes back her autonomy by seeking out her wife and choosing her fate.

Love is a theme of every Mechanisms album. This begins in their first album, Once Upon a Time (In Space) (OUTIS), where Cinders devotes her life to finding her fiancée, and appears again in UDAD with Ulysses and Penelope. The most interesting example is Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot from High Noon Over Camelot (HNOC), whose polyamorous relationship deftly sidesteps centuries of love triangle cliches. In the climax of the album, each of them finds that, “love war[s] with greed.” They choose love and aim to rebuild their world. The Mechanisms suggest that, “just this once, there could be a happy ending”. However, the fantasy that love could save the day is ripped away in the next very line when Mordred kills Guinevere and Lancelot and destroys Fort Gallfridean. This story is in conversation with the Mechanisms previous albums, as shown by the reference to the song “No Happy Endings”, but the impact of that is undercut by its ending, which is as hopeless as ever. This contrasts with TBI, where Loki finds Sigyn “for love”, and the message is that love can be an effective force for good. The real genius of TBI is in creating a story which manages the expectations for a tragic ending established by other Mechanisms albums while also featuring optimistic themes and showing real change for good.

Moons little beep when she's laughing is the most adorable thing ever

Funny little robot people making funny little robot noises :) I wrote a list somewhere, let me just dig it up...

...beeps, chirps, clicks and whirs, crackles and hisses, grumbles and growls, rattle-wail crying (they're physically unable to shed tears), horrible metal screeching noises, hums, rumbles, mrrs-n-purrs.

It's interesting to think about how those noises would even be made. I feel like some would be physical while others would just come from a speaker (if iterators generate voices through those). Anyways, I'm sure they will all pop up more in my stuff~
