i feel like this sums up my experiences getting into new things pretty well

[cerealisafunbath]

guys we should talk about the mechanisms having health impacts both mental and physical bc of their mechanisms more

it's so fun and funky

like ivy realistically either has a REALLY STRONG NECK or cervical instability bc of metal brain

Jonny has got to have some *weird* chest pains including the fact that his veins and arteries are somehow connected to a metal heart????? imagine how fucked up having to fix said heart would be

Brian has a very obvious mental impact but like. I imagine he's also constantly understimulated physically bc of the whole metal thing- it's very unclear if he even has nerves

god nastyas mechanism would fuck up so many different things in her body it would be so cool. shes constantly dying from mercury poisoning? or at least mercury overdose even if mercury isn't fatal to her. blood is in every single part of your body. mercury does not transport oxygen well. it's so cool but so completely unfunctional

tldr I am autistic and hyperfixated on mechs and science

would love to hear others thoughts

It's crazy how I could turn any Mechanisms album into a dnd campaign and it'd be a banger

I am beginning to put together my Jonny D'Ville cosplay. I'm browsing Etsy for some stuff for it and..... Oh yeah. it's all coming together.

Time to buy like 5 belts as well LOL

Intro Post!

Hello!

This blog was inspired by @entities-of-posts and other such blogs that hijack completely normal posts and forcibly connect them to whatever the blog runner is completely normal about and does not see everywhere they go.

Feel free to tag this blog in any posts, ask box is open, etc etc

As a general rule of thumb, any Mech identified in a post will be tagged with their name, alongside the general #mechs in posts tag.

As for mod info, my main blog is @olithegeek, I go by they/them, you can call me Oli

I just purchased the Inner Sphere Heavy Lance box… and it contains the Hatchetman… created by Team Banzai… and you’d better bet it’s getting that oh so simple Team Banzai color scheme… sure it’s salvage, but , “ remember, no matter where you go… there you are”

I did it, made something I think Looks..somewhat ac like in MASS

"your son calls me Operator too"

Even managed to cheese it to give the, as I've named it "C800 Aural" (Based on the other mech I made in the game, the optical) Digitigrade looking legs

What if. I made a Mechanisms RP server. Would anyone be interested in that. I've done that before for other fandoms and it's been really fun and I am normal (lying) about the Mechanisms.

I am extremely happy with the way my Smoke Jaguars are looking. They aren't finished and a lot of little mistakes show up in photos, but this was game ready

AAUAUUUAUAAAAHHH MY MECHANISMS CDS CAME IN

[cerealisafunbath]

love being a mechs fan cause doing anything just provokes the response "just like the mechanisms"

I'm a bio major? just like raphaella fr

riding a train? Odin fr

replacing batteries in lights? nastya fr

reorganizing my room? ivy fr

So um. We are interested in the Mechanisms but have no idea where to start with listening to them. Any advice? Do we like. Listen to their songs in release and album order or is there something more we gotta do?

YES YIPPEE YES YES Okay I can help you! Number one, you don't need to listen to the albums in release order, you can start with any of them (my recommendation is The Bifrost Incident or High Noon Over Camelot, they are, imo, the best and strongest albums but they're all winners tbh), BUT!! With the exceptions of Tales to be Told I + II, listen to the albums themselves in order, not on shuffle! At least the first time round. The stories each mainline album tells are part narrative segments part musical, so don't skip around the first time. After that though do whatever, it's fun. You can find them easy on YouTube, either on their own YouTube channel or on TheVoidSings with lyrics! Also Bandcamp at the very least? I think. I mostly listen on YouTube myself.

Also keep in mind that TTBT albums are mostly stand alone songs, though many have callbacks to other albums or take place in those settings! You'll get the most out of all of the songs honestly after listening through them all a few times. These guys absolutely fucking packed them to the brim with subtle symbolism and layers of world building, it's great.

There's also the fictions on their website, which expand upon the stories they're telling and the world's within, plus a little more info on the characters each member is playing.

Remember to be yourself and have fun! Enjoy your free space pirate brainworms that will inevitably show up once you start listening. 💓

Also there's no "gotta" you need to do to get involved w fandom spaces imo. Just listen to the music and have fun! I reccomend when you're finished with it all making an oc, but that's more my personal opinion on what the best way to enjoy works is LOL

Just listened to a song about space cowboys using the power of love to be immediately defeated by the power of Sad Trans Boy With Gun

“Well it’s not just mainstream music, aren’t ALL songs about sex and relationships if you really think about it—“ Absolutely the fuck not. I just listened to a song about being buried alive and one about pirates battling a giant squid. Listen to more weird music immediately
