hi i made it <3

(btw theres slight flashing on the right hand side on some of the clips and i have no idea why TwT)

[emotrainz]

hello, mechanisms enjoyer. who is your favourite mechanism. what is your favourite album. what is your favourite song. do you have a favourite mechanisms photo.

Hi

My favorite mechanisms I’d probably Ashes o’reily with The Toy Soldier coming in at a close second. It’s hard to choose a favorite album but it’s either hnoc or udad. As for my favorite song it is either lucky sevens or hellfire as main album song. My favorite photo is the one with The Toy Soldier in the shopping cart(sadly I can’t find it rn)

Hey hey stowaways!

I’m once again running a mechanisms fan and cosplay meetup at MCM London! Come along this May (Saturday 25th) at 2:00pm to hang out with fellow fans of the Mechanisms, take cosplay photos and enjoy the vibes! All levels and abilities welcome :D

This was us last May! I’m the Nastya on the far left with the little hat, and you’ll be able to find me in the exact same cosplay this year. Hope to see you there!

THE SIBLINGS!!!

inspiration for creature jonny by @reegis

[razberried]

just thinking about how in drunk space pirate jonny says everyone's real name and then their mechanism name except toy soldier/jessica law

[cryptile]

I think there is a fair share of the mechansisms band members that *could* fix me but would simply choose not to

[jewishdragon]

Ayo @prince-rowan-of-the-forest tagged me in the "getting to know your fellow fanfic authors" writing tag game! I'm putting this in a new post cause the original one was gettin long.

Go see Rowan's answers here! (https://www.tumblr.com/prince-rowan-of-the-forest/730426008116822016/aaaaa-thanks-for-the-tag-when-did-you-post-your?)

My answers beneath the read more.

When did you post your first fanfic?

Lordy. Back in 2019, I posted an extremely rough draft of a multi-chapter Sanders Sides (or 'SaSi') fanfic called Kingdoms for a Mind (or 'KFAM') on Wattpad. Either that one or a now tossed SaSi fic called Fear No More (guess which side was the focus in that one. Guess. Hint: It's the anxious guy.)

First Character you wrote for:

Virgil from Sanders Sides, I thiiiiink? Although I wrote for most of the sides at that point, too. Virgil was my little baby boy though.

Main character(s) you're currently writing for:

Logan, Janus, Virgil, Patton, and Remus in the updated version of KFAM i'm working on, and Patton and Roman in a new SaSi/The Mechanisms crossover.

Character(s) you haven't written about before but plan on writing about soon:

Mostly non-SaSi stuff. I have some fic ideas for a Pure Vessel/Pale King angst (from the Hollow Knight video game) or Diggory and Percy from Hello from the Hallowoods (highly recommended queer drama podcast).

Fandom(s) you're currently writing for:

SANDERS SIDES and the mechansisms and star wars and someday probably hollow knight and hello from the hallowoods oh and me and my friend's D&D campaign, but that's mostly original stuff.

Platonic pairing(s) you currently write for:

Tehe. All SaSi platonic duos, pretty much, like the whole group. Platonic/familial Janus, Logan, and Virgil is a favorite though. And I love my creativitwins angst.

Romantic pairing(s) you currently write for:

Analogical, Anxceit, and Royality, among others like loceit, intruality, and prinxiety.

Your top three tags on AO3 (if you post your works on AO3):

Character tags: 1. Original Characters 2. Morality | Patton Sanders 3. Anxiety | Virgil Sanders Relationship tags: 1. Analogical (romantic) 2. Virgil & Roman (platonic) 3. Creativitwins (platonic)

Your current platform where you post your works:

Archive of Our Own (Ao3)! Here's my acc.* (https://archiveofourown.org/users/pancakewithapen/profile) *PSA that I haven't posted anything new in a while. Feel free to read my 3-year-old stuff tho. And if you're feeling extra special, please please bully me about posting stuff I really gotta -v-

Snippet of A WIP you're currently working on:

"The fire cracks. Leaning against a fallen tree, only a few miles away from where their journey began all those weeks ago, Logan realizes he has forgotten how to lie to himself. With conscious, newfound honesty, Logan senses that he is not just uncomfortable. He is angry. Janus doesn’t need to know. Why, in a million years, would Janus even deserve to know? Logan’s feeling are private, they are his, and they do not have to be spoken to anyone. Ever. Logan looks down toward the grass. Why do you care? He almost spits out, but in his periphery, he can see Janus still looking towards the woods. The other’s hands are placed gingerly in his own lap. His mouth is turned down, but his eyes are wide and alert. Janus longs for Virgil to return, too, just as Logan is. He feels the same urges Logan feels. Janus must already know the answer to his question. He knows. He must hate that he knows. He thinks Logan will either save his feelings or put him out of his misery and either option is nicer than conscious ignorance. Perhaps Janus has come to find he can’t lie to himself either. Logan’s stomach churns. They must be talking about these feelings, once so sweet and freeing, in the bitterest configuration possible." (From "Kingdoms for a Mind 2" — a Sanders sides fic)

im making a powerpoint for my suite's powerpoint night about the mechanisms, please give a review of your favorite mechanism/side character/album/show/whatever in the tags and if it's funny enough I'll put it on a slide. or just try to give a one-sentence summary of something. as long as its about the mechanisms and its funny it has a chance of going on a slide

i will be wearing multiple belts and a corset for this presentation and if you guys give me funny enough tags i'll ask someone to record the presentation

so far it is 22 slides long. i have named 3 mechansisms.

Hey I saw your post with the mechs poster and Indy pop con. https://at.tumblr.com/parasympatheticnervoussystem909/death-to-the-mechanisms-if-you-intend-to-go-to/gvidmz3bi8sn

I am from Australia, so I won't be going to Indy pop con. However! That poster is absolutely amazing and I want to buy it if I can. Do you have a Redbubble or similar where I can buy it?

Thanks!

I am so incredibly flattered by your ask; I finished setting up a redbubble, and apologize for the lateness. if you are interested in buying a poster, it can be found here! https://www.redbubble.com/i/poster/Death-To-The-Mechansisms-by-caji2d/139827469.LVTDI

[obitv]

which pjsk character do u think would be most insane abt the mechanisms

about the MECHANSISMS? well immediately i think of wxs. just all of them in general i think would get a lot out of the mechs... maybe nene would like them most since shes the one most into musical theatre which the mechs are very adjacent to. emu would get the wordplay every time.i coulf aslso see it being up mizukis alley if only bc theyre literally on fandom forums so a band like the mechs would. they just fit in with people who enjoy stories and characters in that way

[danathebestintern]

Have some realism I forgot to post
