Matilda: I can’t believe you talked me into this.
Mia: C’mon, would it be so terrible to bump into Triss?
Matilda: Horrendous.
Mia: Psh, you want to see him-.. besides, I need a tan and a fling with a hot Tartosan goddess.
Matilda: And Ivan?
Mia: Ivan just needs a damn break.
[Matilda folded her arms in silent protest, though still nodded in agreement]
Mia: You’ve could’ve bloody replied, couldn’t you? Chatted, maybe gotten his number, an email-.. but noooo, you’ve gotta be stubborn n’ make me drag you across the ocean like we’re in some shitty romcom.
Matilda: So, you agree it’s gonna be shitty?
Mia: Ough-.. if it all goes to shit at least we’ll be on holiday; don’t be scared.
Matilda: I’m not scared.
Mia: Uh-huh, sure. I brought plenty of factor fifty and there’s a barf bag right there just in case, don’t worry.
Matilda: God, you’re annoying.
Mia: Yeah, but you love me-.. pot kettle black anyway, bitch!
…
Pixie: Why isn’t daddy coming?
Ivan: Well.. he’s got some stuff t’do, remember?
[Pixie shrugged absently, fiddling with Ivan’s sunglasses]
Ivan: Y’remember what we talked about, right?
[Pixie nodded reluctantly as Ivan poked her cheek]
Ivan: It might just be me n’ you for a while, you okay wi’ that?
Pixie: I guess-.. Judie too?
Ivan: Aye, on weekends.
Pixie: Okay…

here, you guys can have a snippet of this little whatever that i’m writing bc im up too late for someone who also has to wake up early <3
“Can I get a regular iced coffee in the biggest size you have?”
A wave of mischief washed over Wilhelm as he watched the other fidget by pulling his sleeves over his fingers. “Sorry, we stop serving iced coffee at 9pm.”
“Oh! Okay, sorry, um-” The guy shifted, looking apologetically up at the menus again before looking back to Wilhelm as he let out a giggle.
“Sorry, I’m joking, yes you can get an iced coffee,” Wilhelm apologized, ringing it up on the register. A soft, breathless laugh came from the other and Wilhelm looked back at him. Oh, Wilhelm had thought his eyes were stunning before, but his smile was radiant. “Can I get you anything else?”

just played through our dirge (again) and i... didn't realise you could get other endings??? i went through the game again to see what other options where there to pick, but it changed the conversation at the end??? spoilers in tag and under read more
like, first time i was mostly nice to jack (agreed that coming to the school was neal's idea and complimented jack on the costume, but asked him to play something stupid and didn't accept his help with the switch)
the next time i was kinda mean (insisted that i did not suggest going to the school, and insulted jack's costume, but also asked to listen to one of jack's songs instead and this time i accepted his help.) i also ignored a few things while speeding through the dialogue this time
the first time, when jack talks about staying and waiting and neal starts leaving, jack just like, gently, smugly prods neal a LITTLE bit in order to get him to stay and neal gives in, but this time jacks like, almost pleading. apologizing and worrying and everything... what a shift!

i really don’t know how to explain how much the representation in The Mechanisms means to us. there’s a character who uses it/its, multiple who use they/them. there are several lesbian relationships. when we first listened to High Noon Over Camelot, all we would talk about for days on end, repeatedly to the same people over and over again, was that there were polyamorous cowboys, there was a trans cowboy, and they weren’t treated like jokes. they were actual characters, with actual motivations, with actual personalities. we’d never before seen polyamorous main characters without the supposedly inevitable plot point of jealousy ruining things. we couldn’t stop talking about it
what really, really blew our mind though, was Nastya, an objectum trans lesbian. an objectum character with a relationship that actually gets taken seriously by the plot. her and Aurora are in love. it’s not played for laughs, it’s not done to villainize her, she’s just a woman in love with a machine and the plot allows her to be!! it still makes us tear up sometimes, thinking about her, thinking about the Aurora, thinking about how the narrative lets them really be in love without it being some running gag
it’s not just queer representation either. we don’t know if it was intentional or not, but the way we see it, all of the Mechanisms are disabled, with their mechanisms being assistive technology. and the narrative doesn’t pity them for it, nor does it treat them as inferior in any way. they’re disabled, they’re allowed to be disabled, they’re main characters and they’re disabled
both Drumbot Brian’s morality switch and the Toy Soldier’s inability to not follow orders remind us of our OCD and autism. and neither of them are shamed for these. these things aren’t just brought up once and then forgotten about, either; they both impact plot. they both impact plot but neither of them are shamed for it!!! and they’re still characters outside of these too, they’re not one-trick ponies!!! and it makes us so beyond happy to see that. and the way Ivy Alexandria’s memory works reminds us of our own dissociation and amnesia, and again, she’s not shamed for it!!!!!
we know that someday our interest in The Mechanisms will wane. nothing lasts forever. but the joy that the representation brings us won’t. we’ll always be happy about seeing a serious objectum character for the first time, about how much less alone Drumbot Brian and the Toy Soldier make us feel, about just how deeply queer The Mechanisms are
