i'm gonna be real guys it's been ten years i think we as a fandom need to come up with another joke that isn't "the world was doomed because brian refused to misgender a trans person/arthur forgot trans people exist"
#i still follow the hnoc tag and i swear it's on my dash like every other week#can we make a new comedic observation about the plot of this album. this one is NOT that funny i'm going to be so honest

Thank you dear supporters for all the help you are offering the people of Gaza in this dire time. I am a father of four tender babies who are paying much of their childhood and innocence in this unfair war. Please do whatever you can to help me save my family till the war ends.
Despite the suffering and hardships of this fierce war , your support and assistance ease us and grant us power and patience. Your contribution keeps a whole family safe, that is why i am asking you to donate whatever you can of at least share my link so that other donors can know about my tragedy and pain.
here is the fundraiser, which has been verified by @/90-ghost here. please share and donate if you can

Today? I bring you more blinkies. Tomorrow? Who knows :)
[image id: five blinkies based on the Mechanisms' albums. Each of them has the album's respective logo at both ends of the blinkie, and the album name across the center. The first is Once Upon A Time (In Space), which has a red background with white stars blinking in the background. The second is Ulysses Dies at Dawn, and has a blue background that fades into a yellow sunrise. The third is High Noon Over Camelot, which has a orange background, and three bullet holes punching into it. The forth is Tales To Be Told, and has a grey background, with the Mechanisms logo bouncing up and down. The final blinkie is The Bifrost Incident, and has a black background with a rainbow flashing across the text. End id]

will never understand all the vocabulary struggles star wars fanfiction writers talk about. what do you mean you cant use the idiom "a dime a dozen" because they dont have dimes in star wars? put the word "space" before it. a space dime a dozen. bam. skill issue

everyone has their mechanisms white whale. be it the librarian (miralines) or Folly Bridge Inn (the show i would pick out of all of them to see) (tims debut).
If you all could pick anything, anything at all, to have answers too, or a video of, or content otherwise, what would it be?
#i don't know how much this counts but. the orpheus fictions raise about three times the number of questions they answer#why does orpheus have prophetic dreams. how old is narcissus really. why does he have a bound copy of ouatis. etc

just learned that the mechanisms song "frankenstein" was originally conceived as part of a set along with adaptations of dracula, dorian gray, and jekyll & hyde. don't try reaching me, I am in mourning for what could have been.
#i am thinking about this CONSTANTLY i hope you know#the dorian gray one is to the tune of danny boy...

[ID: a digital drawing of Dr. Carmilla holding a bloody knife, with hands forming a broken halo around her head. Dr. Carmilla is a vampire, a woman of color with short red hair, wearing a white kimono with pink flowers, and a black vest. She is looking at the viewer with intense glare, and half her face is dark. In one hand she holds a bloodied tantō knife, defensively, and in the other hand she holds a silver cane. Around her head there is a broken golden halo, held by the Mechanisms' hands. Clockwise, the hands are: Ivy Alexandria, Ashes O'Reilly, the Toy Soldier, Nastya Rasputina, and Drumbot Brian. Some hands hold the halo with a flat palm, while others appear to be reaching to Carmilla. There is another hand grasping Carmilla by the sleeve of her kimono, Jonny D'Ville's. The grasp is aggressive, but there is golden light of the halo shining from his fist. The background is dark, the halo casts golden light on Carmilla. End ID]
Dr. Carmilla the love of my life <3
Wanted to finish this for the last day of @drcarmillaappreciationweek but alas I was struck by the demons. This piece was originally part of the "mechs with swords" series that never saw the light of day, but this one specifically I loved a lot, so I'm happy I had an excuse to finish it.

I think my official advice for prospective tma listeners is: take seasons one, two, and four at whatever pace feels most natural to you, but if you try to burn through season three too quickly then your brain ends up feeling fried and frazzled, and if you take season five too slowly then you may feel as though you are covered in cold sludge. season three is at its best when you take it slow and really absorb all the mini arcs as you go, and season five is at its best when you go through it more like a novel and really go along with its provided pace without inserting your own beats of downtime.
#can confirm i listened to s3 wayyy too fast and i consequently was very confused in the back half of the show#i should do a slower relisten at some point 🤔 so i can actually pick up the things i missed

The name engraved upon its chest was read by the townsfolk as “MERLIN”.
None could know that time and rust had worn away what it originally read,
Which was “BRIAN”
