happy fuck the rose and you as well sunday! in honor, I am posting my thoughts about the line in pump shanty, because god do I have thoughts!
there are no rose reds at that point, right? they're fleeing the wedding. The only Rose explicitly in canon is... Rose. Snow's sister, who's just been kidnapped. Even for Greyditch, this seems... a little insensitive, to say the least.
But! There's also the phrasing. It's not "fuck Rose." It's "fuck the Rose."
See also Our Boy Jack. "When the red Rose, it comes a'marching," and "when the Rose comes over the water." Now, these could very concievably both refer to the Rose Reds, but consider: what if they don't?
What if the Rose is an established Crown insignia? Greyditch isn't saying fuck Rose, he's saying fuck the Crown. This makes a lot more sense in context.
This leads me to believe that Rose was named for the Crown symbol, which. Adds whole new layers to everything that happens to her. Woman destined from birth, by her name, to be a tool for Cole. I think her parents saw her red hair (the Crown’s color) and named her for it, in the hopes she’d continue their family’s legacy of serving the king. And she did, and every one of her clones did, to hundreds of thousands of deaths…

the best part about sleeping over at your best friend’s house who owns 79 pets is that sometimes you just wake up to a cat cuddling up to you and purring. and u just pet her and fall back asleep and that is that.

ROUND 2! MATCH 2 OUT OF 8
Propaganda Under the Cut:
Little Red Riding Hood:
highly doubt she'll even make it in, but just in case here's a picture since she's obscure https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w-vcTAESw7U/UA1Ez3TKlpI/AAAAAAAAIys/Vi47FjnjACs/s1600/vlcsnap-2012-07-23-19h55m26s36.png
Red Hood:
she’s red riding hood but CYBERPUNK. and she’s part of the REBELLION. she’s can hack MILITARY tech in a matter of moments. she uses her WOLF VIRUS to hack into CROWN VEHICLES and RIDE THEM INTO BATTLE. she REPURPOSED a GOVERNMENT VIRUS into a weapon to HURT THEM. her GRANDMOTHER was killed by the corrupt government virus that she has since TAMED and uses it AGAINST them. her fiction (this is canon!): https://themechanisms.com/fiction/what-big-eyes/
mechs fans need a win methinks. my mutual told me to go submit red but i also have very strong opinions on her because this entire album makes me insane. red started as a young 12 year old hacker who eventually put her skills to the test when a government-made computer virus (called the wolf virus) went rogue and unplugged her grandmother from life support. (the wolf virus was initially intended to figure out what wasn’t necessary for the war and divert power to weapons instead. it went rogue and started going after people who would never be able to help the war [ie disabled and elderly]). so red FOUGHT IT OFF ON HER OWN and TAMED IT. so then she essentially had a weapon designed to take down crown weapons and vehicles. so she joined the war effort and fought for brutal 30 years. it’s unclear whether she survived the final battle, but i think she deserves to take the win. also. she’s in space. she’s cyberpunk. she’s part of a retold fairytale cast BUT IN A COSMIC WAR. it’s like if star wars was actually good.

‼️calling all Mech fans!! I need y'all's help‼️
so what the fuck is Jonny saying in that section of Sleeping Beauty??
for context, I'm hard of hearing and listening and actually hearing an album is A Process that involves listening to something like twenty times so I can understand the lyrics via osmosis. that has not worked with this song. here's the section I need help with:
take aurora in gently Nastya
let's see what these rosies can do!
gotta say I'm in the mood for violence
and I reckon you might be too!
let's get this party started the only way we know:
gunfire and explosions something something
hello ladies~
that something something part?? i!! have!! no!! clue!! what the hells being said!!
if anybody could help me I'd greatly appreciate it <3

It’s a shame most mechs fans barely know about Adam Bete because. yes he’s only mentioned once in the album and not even by name but he’s one of the guys ever. Wifeguy who desperately needs a divorce. Former mob boss who was violent and terrifying enough to be known as “the Beast” but also he worked with the Crown. “There is an openness and honesty to him.” He has trust issues. I love him dearly

if youre doing some art requests, i wouldnt mind seeing some celestine and greyfax. just them doing something, together. im a huge fan of the ship, and I like seeing art of them. and a fan of your art!
ive never drawn these women before and dont actually know much about them but i imagine that celestine is the one who asks "honey would you still love me if i was a worm"
