in which marius' mechanism is like an angry parasite and burrows its roots further into his body when removal is threatened.

[imade id: a digital painting of marius von raum from the mechanisms. his metal hand is clutching a bar and the arm has been ripped away from his body just below the elbow with an eruption of blood, tissue, and silver cables. the stump of his remaining arm is drenched in blood and the same silver cables snake in and out of his skin from his elbow to his neck; his whole right side is also bloodied. most of his face isn't visible, as he strains and leans away from the carnage. His eyes are shadowed. the background is nearly black with a jagged and gritty stroke of red lancing through, and the whole thing has a gritty paper effect applied over top. end id.]

HOLDS YOUR MECHS AU IN MY HANDS,,

i gotta know. I gotta.

How would Jon react to the Toy Soldier (if he ever met it), since its A. Practically an entity of the stranger with its backstory and B. i mean literally portrayed by the same person who did Nikola?? Theres gotta be some underlying angst you can dig into there heheh

Jon would be VERY uncomfortable around the Toy Soldier, and will not want to be anywhere around them.

Comparing Mechs fans spotify wrapped with others shows us scientifically that we're something else

A friend of mine is in the top 0.05% of Sleeping At Last (almost 8mio monthly listeners) with 7.4k minutes

I'm just in the top 0.5% of the Mechanisms (36k monthly listeners) with 9.3k minutes

This means that you needed less minutes to be a way higher listener of an artist with 205 times as many listeners.

So there aren't many of us, but I can almost guarantee that not a single one of us is even remotely normal.

#The mechanisms #This is extra funny to me considering that sleeping at last used to be MY top artist #I was in his top 1 % every year until now #And like #The reason for that is that he has the atlas saga which while not as musical y as the mechanisms tell a more or less cohesive narrative #That is way longer than the mechs albums #So it's also a musician that i can listen to from start to finish for days on end #It's almost A trade mark of mine to include a sleeping at last song in all my Playlists #But the mechanisms is just a different kind of brain rot #I will stop with Spotify wrapped posts about the mechanisms soon I promise #It's just so fascinating for me #I wonder if the mechs still get a Spotify wrapped for artists bc I would loooove to see it #Considering sending Kofi an ask tbh

been meaning to draw him so here he is

Lycaon has no projectile weapons but his unique modular design means that he can be fitted with a variety of armours to fit the circumstances - in theory. in practice, actually manufacturing this armour taxed supply chains beyond their limits and although plans were drawn up for six different variations, only one was made. without the added weight of this armour, he is the swiftest of the holy beasts.

the purpose of his single extant armour set is to serve as a distraction for attacking serpents during a dragon battle. the armour restricts his movements but covers vulnerable joints (save for the lumbar spine which must be exposed),leaving few to no clawholds for serpents to cling onto. the noisemakers are similar to church bells and draw the serpents' attention, drawing them within the danger zone of lycaon's exhaust flames. this armour has been used only three or four times and without much success; serpents quickly grow bored of attacking the bells and quickly return to harassing Lycaon's companions.

a couple of centuries into his operation, it was determined that the armour had been kind of a massive waste of money and time. in more recent years Lycaon is sent into battle without armour where he is used to strafe and hassle the sinful enemy. his construction is an example of divergent Midaean design; unlike the other beasts, which were outfitted in Forza, Lycaon's weight distribution is pitched forwards to the chest, which is the location of what is traditionally called the belly furnace. this gives him a slightly more naturalistic gait but a smaller and weaker heart engine (and associated pump systems). his overall longevity in battle suffers as a result.

prior to the introduction of Leun, king of beafts, Lycaon held seniority. his speed and challenging operation made him difficult to captain and his Midaean keepers had maintained him in perfect condition for centuries longer than any of the other beasts. of extant beasts, only Pantera is older. traditionally, the knights and smiths of the senior-most beast have command in any stable. Mercury Adézan, Lycaon's enginesmith, is technically the senior-most enginesmith in the empire (responsible for designing Sir Victory's prosthetic arm) - but because of his exclusive specialisation in Midaean design, he was unable to to work on Leun, the empire's newest and greatest beast. Mercury Luca, formerly Pantera's enginesmith, was drafted into the role instead, due to Leun's similarity in design to Pantera.

this led to a snarl in the chain of command; Mercury Luca was younger and less experienced than Mercury Adézan, but had been fast-tracked to the highest-ranking position within the enginesmith profession. furthermore, Luca was partially responsible for Pantera, which was the last beast to be lost in battle due to poor maintenance (Luca's mentor and Pantera's senior enginesmith, Mercury Alfeo, took responsibility for the accident and had his right hand amputated as punishment). there exists a strong and oftentimes vicious rivalry between the smith crews of Lycaon and Leun, although the knights, Sir Honour and Sir Heaven respectively, do not participate in this squabble.

the armoursmiths also find it to be kind of silly but hey, armour is armour. engines are a little trickier to run.

Perhaps a cyborg Stress :3

I didn’t feel like drawing anything human shaped…

So naturally I spent over 5 hours drawing a mech

For the hybrid swap game.

Bonus design notes under the cut bc I like mechs

When I first started sketching I got the idea of a sort of solarpunk mech with a terrarium in it, after which it started to dawn on me that glass is one of the worst materials you could possibly built a mech out of. Because the thing about mechs is that they’re very large, very heavy, and very mobile, all of which are not conducive to keeping glass intact. So a lot of this design requires a bit of suspension of disbelief. And a lot of literal suspension.

It ended up being covered up by the arm, but the sternum-like structure on Stress’s chest is comprised of 3 parts that can slide along each other to absorb a lot of shock. There’s also a similar structure under her hips, but it’s even more obscured so you can’t really see it.

Also, all of the metal that touches the glass is padded with rubber.

She’s also got a bit of meat on her, because what is a mech without a bit of body horror? And also I didn’t feel like coming up with mechanics for those sections. I spent over 3 hours on the lineart (for reference, most of the art I make takes around 3 hours total) so I cut some corners later on in the process. I think you can really tell on the hips & tail, but the rendering masks it well enough.

What mechanism would be foolish or stubborn enough to enter a staring contest with gunpowder Tim?

Unfortunately for him, the other mechs told the Toy Soldier to do it, and it’s been a few millennia since they’ve started already. (Also so sorry for how many years it took me to draw this!!!)

[ID: a drawing of the Toy Soldier and Gunpowder Tim from the Mechanisms band. The two are facing each other, staring. Gunpowder Tim is squinting in concentration, while TS doesn’t seem to even be meeting the others eyes. Around the Toy Soldier are flowers and sparkles and a pink glow. And around GPT is a dark blue aura. \End ID]
