god i have so many disjointed mechs hcs and thoughts. ask me about themes and tropes
#the mechs are characters.#and what i mean by that is that. okay so#within the story albums we're meant to understand that the characters (like rose) were people that the mechs have turned into characters#the same applies for the mechs themselves. except this is something they do to themselves#and that's obviously bc. they are characters#but w characters you're meant to forget that they're characters and see them as a person experiencing Circumstances (or causing them as-#-the case may be)#but the mechs. the same way they turn rose ulysses morderd lyf etc etc from People into characters#they do the same to themselves#and like yeah we can extrapolate that they are putting on personas for the show#but i can't help but think that. just as morality and the like degrades if you live long enough#your sense of identity does too#and the mechs have boiled themselves down to core concepts of themselves in order to retain a sense of identity#which is why the creation of a mechanism is marked by destruction#1) bc they are destructive forces. they are akin to natural disasters#2) they destroy who they were in order to become a mechanism#jonny probably fabricated his backstory#bertie's death is muddy and pointless. tim probably doesn't even remember how bertie died#ivy can't remember who she was pre-mechanization#etc etc etc
