jfc i just saw a "morally grey girlboss" poll and mabel pines was one of the contenders. she's not morally grey she's not a girlboss she's 12 and never makes a single moral decision that's worse than "you have stuff going on but i'm focused on my own problems" what are you fucking talking about

I have been absolutely obsessed with the Mechanisms lately so here is Drumbot Brian being my absolute favorite gender

[alice-makes-things]

hey y’know how public libraries often do a free toddler and baby nursery rhyme club, and a number of my good friends and relatives were in a band called The Mechanisms?

well, one of the babies’ favourite songs is “what shall we do with a lazy baby”.

Well.

guess who accidentally sang WAY HAY THE WORMHOLE BECKONS to a room full of very confused babies and parents.

[newsiesautismfrfr]

Listening to the music isn’t enough I need to eat the mechanisms and their fucking instruments

I’m genuinely about to make a mechanisms blog because I can’t handle the autism

[darcydoescosplay]

You know you've been listening to the Mechanisms too much when the song "Drunken Sailor" plays and you confidently sing "WHAT DO WE DO WITH A DRUNK SPACE PIRATE" and just have to wallow in the fact that no, that isn't the original song

[xmag-piex]

I hate Roblox why is this in existence.

Anyone else kind of just pick it up for a bit and then never play for three months? Exceptions from Pressure, of course.

Honestly seeing discourse about the Bad Kids killing the Rat Grinders is very funny because... They've killed so many people. Like sure there's a discussion about in-character motives and everything, but also the BK's just kill a ton of people. Most people don't play DND and consider 'non-lethal' options. Brennan kept reiterating it at the start of the season. Murder is literally above redemption on almost everyone's list of priorities in Spyre. Aguefort literally establishes the concept of 'adventurers' as just violent wanderers that go around and kill things that they feel like need killing, this is literally what they go to school for.

The season started with them killing a bunch of fervent cultists, and the Bad Kids only started considering mercy when they started getting tired. I wouldn't have minded the Rat Grinders getting a redemption arc, and maybe they'll get revived somehow, but also the Bad Kids barely consider mercy to people they don't know, so people they HATE getting that sort of treatment already seemed off the table. Not to mention, this is instantly after the Rat Grinders tried to kill the Bad Kids and the entire student body, and are in the midst of casting a wild, out of control spell to raise a new god of wrath.

They literally killed Ragh and only decided to spare him because they went a little too far with their torture power play after they revivified him after brutally killing him. Aelwyn was too slippery to keep down consistently. Literally every character roughly their age that they're antagonistic towards that's still alive is part of the exception, not the norm.

[id: a reference sheet of Lyfrassir Edda from The Bifrost Incident. They are tall, have brown skin, long white hair, feathered wings and a tail. Their hands and the underside of their hair and wings all have a shifting rainbow pattern to them. They are wearing a purple tunic with a darker purple vest over the top, gloves, light grey pants, and heeled boots. In one drawing, they stand neutrally facing the viewer, holding a gun in one gloved hand, with the other hand ungloved, showing off the rainbow swirls on their skin. In the second drawing, they sit with their wings spread out behind them.

The second image is the same drawing, but this time without the bifrost effects on their wings. End id]

Finally solidified their design after YEARS. Have a Lyf :> further notes under the cut

- their hands are so heavily affected because of black box exposure, from them constantly holding and handling it

- touching things with their bare hands causes the object (or being) to warp, becoming "infected" by the Bifrost. Some examples from writing I never finished,

"they finally twist around and shove at TS. [...] it clutches at its chest, feeling flesh slowly recede to back wood."

"Lyfrassir raises their hands to block her, freezing cold rainbows already sizzling through what remains of their gloves. She shrieks as their hands meet her flesh, and color begins to march across her body, twisting morphing shattering molding oozing merging-"

(I swear I also had one of them melting a mug, or maybe a pen, but I can't find it 😔 you get the idea though)

- their gloves were specially designed to withstand these effects

- stronger emotions = stronger bifrost effects. They tend to repress a lot all the time

- they can see the "strings" of the universe, and can play them like a harp to manipulate the outcome of things/change reality. This is harder to do with their gloves on, but possible - just less precise

- their wings didn't grow in until they were around 100 years old, per my headcanons for Midgardians. The Bifrost, which keeps them from dying, made this process Fucking Suck because it kept healing them before the wings were done coming in, leaving them in a constant state of skin ripping open, healing, and ripping open again for far too long

- because they haven't always had their wings, they tend to be slightly more expressive with them
