Cover art for that Space Selke mechs fan song I just made! (I’m posting it separately bcs the actual image thru Spotify is sad and links murder tungle.hell posts anyway)
-the toy soldier was not programmed to know how to waltz
-cats enjoy using the drumbot as a scratching post
-jonny watches the great british bake-off
-when no one was looking, the toy soldier stole forty cakes. it stole 40 cakes. that’s as many as four tens. and that’s terrible
more important mechs lore:
-nastya has a furry movie collection
-ashes bakes but the edibility of their creations is very dubious
-marius canceled his lectures in the city because he was mad that his book on the olympians was put in the ‘true crime’ section rather than the ‘psychology’ section
-jonny kept stealing brian’s instruments specifically so he could make fun of him for not playing the drums
-brian has (negative) opinions on tumblr as a site

Cinders is a Black woman with 4C hair in an afro. She has dark brown eyes, pointed ears, and freckles that cover her face and neck.

[Image ID: a digital drawing of Nastya Rasputina from the mechanisms. She has pale, almost grey, skin and brown hair with blue tips that is tied back in a ponytail. She is wearing glasses, a grey shirt, brown trousers, and brown boots with steel toes. She is kneeling on the floor in a corridor on the Aurora and fixing wires in an open panel. In the panel both wires and veins are visible. She is looking down at the wires and smiling softly. Around her there are music notes and hearts. End ID]
the inherent romance of doing repairs on your spaceship gf while she sings to you
[image id: two versions of the same drawing of jonny d'ville from the mechanisms. his thumbs are tucked into his jean pockets, hips pushed forward and leaning against a wall. he’s showing off a belt buckle that looks like a fanned hand of cards. in the first, his head is cocked coyly to the side so he can view the camera through one open eye, and he asks “whaddya want?”. in the second, he looks like he’s just been roused and his expression is more confused- he just goes “mm?”. end id.]
based off of that one pic of ashes and jonny bc their dynamic gives me life
[ID: a trichromatic sketch of Ashes O’Reilly and Jonny D’Ville from The Mechanisms. they are looking at each other while smoking cigarettes. Jonny’s mouth is open as if talking, and Ashes is smiling and listening with a cigarette between their lips. Jonny is holding his cigarette to the side and away from his face. smoke is coming out of each cigarette.]
thinking bout toy soldier decorating itself for the holidays! ✨
[ID: the toy soldier from the mechanisms from the waist up, with one arm up and one out to the side. both of it’s arms are wrapped in glowing fairy lights. there is a glowing star on top of it’s hat. the toy soldier has a big smile on it’s face with a hinged jaw and swirly blush details]

[ID: image 1 - digital portrait of gunpowder tim from the mechanisms. he is a young man with long curly hair, wearing a trenchcoat and a waistcoat. he is kneeling with one hand on this gun. he has a small smile and is looking off to the side. the background is a bright abstract explosion. image 2 - close crop of image 1, focused on his face, with a bright pink background.]
that one pic of ivy sitting on a sidewalk with a euphonium……..effervescent
[ID: Digital portrait of Ivy Alexandria from the Mechanisms. she is sitting cross legged on the ground. Ivy is holding and playing a euphonium and looking to the side. her hair is in a ponytail and her boots are untied. ivy has a port on the side of her head to connect to her brain and a heart earring]
edit: corrected! Ivy was playing a euphonium here, not a tuba!
there is just so much love in my heart for this mad scientist
[ID: digital painting of raphaella la cognizi from the mechanisms. She is a young woman with flowing hair, wearing a harness and wings. she is looking to the side with a smile.]
tucked away in a corner of the archive of the starship aurora, there’s an old advert with a familiar face.
[image id: two versions of an illustrated advertisement for “Katabasian Computing,” featuring ashes o'reilly from the mechanisms. they lounge on an ornate armchair, one foot coming down to rest on a tasseled pillow. they wear black-and-white oxfords and a dark 1920’s style suit with a black coat over top; the trim of the coat looks like circuitry. the symbol of the acheron, a simplified skull with circuitry coming out of its exposed brain, floats to the left and right of their head. above the border of the ad is the paper name, “The Oracle,” and the date June 18, 2022. underneath it is the name “Katabasian Computing” and their slogan; “There’s no processor more powerful.” the second is the same drawing, just without the effect that it has been printed on a folded and stained piece of old paper. (without the acheron skulls). end id.]
some favorite bits :]
[image id: closeups of the swirly carved chair legs, the company name and slogan, the hand-lettered text from the top (publication and date), one of the tassels of the pillow, one of the acheron skulls, and ashes’ face. end id.]
