Mechs doodle request: cowboy hats

[ID: A small page of doodles including Nastya Rasputina, Drumbot Brian and Jonny D’ville. Everything is colored in shades of yellow and orange aside from Nastya, who’s colored entirely in shades of blue and small grey detailing on brian. Nastya is facing away from the viewer at a side profile, her face mostly in shadow from a cowboy hat. Her hair is heavily stylized and blocky. Veins in her face are visible. The next drawing is of Brian, grinning and pointing to a golden rose on his cowboy hat. The drawing in the top right is a much simpler drawing of Jonny on a horse, smiling widely. His gun is to the sky with a spiked gunshot detail behind it. Jonny has a cowboy hat. The drawing below is Jonny, eyes closed and mouth open, looking somewhat thoughtful. He says: “They just don’t get me.” The cowboy hat remains on his head. END ID]

[ID: eight photos. The first two are from performances by the Mechanisms. The third and fourth are of the Once Upon a Time in Space book. The fifth is a screencap of a tweet from the Mechanisms twitter account which includes a photo of a drum set. The last three are photos of Mechanisms outside, the sixth featuring Tim Ledsam and Frank Voss, the seventh is of Ben Below, and the eighth is of Morgan Wilkinson.

Image One: A black and white, low quality photo of six Mechanisms members on stage. There is nobody in the audience and the photo is taken from a distance. The room is the same width as the stage. Morgan Wilkinson sits on the edge of the stage, farthest left, playing the flute; Tim Ledsam stands behind and next to him, playing the guitar; Jonny Sims stands in the middle of the stage, holding a microphone up to his mouth; there is someone behind Jonny who is probably Frank Voss, but they are very mostly hidden, although the neck of a large stringed instrument is visible; farthest right Jessica Law stands in front of a microphone, with her mouth open; another mostly unseen person is behind Jessica, they seem to be playing a shouldered, bowed instrument, meaning it is likely to be Nastya's actor.

The band members wear some version of their costumes. Morgan has light skin and short hair; he is wearing a white, long sleeve, button up shirt with a tie under a waistcoat with shorts over tights and boots with socks. Tim has light skin, long curly hair, and short facial hair; he is wearing a white, long sleeve, button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, underneath a vest, with jeans, and something around his neck. Jonny has light skin and short hair; he wears a dark, long sleeve, button up shirt underneath a light colored vest with dark pants and shiny black boots. The person who is presumably Frank is wearing a dark shirt and dark pants. Jessica has light skin and long hair; she is wearing a white shirt under a black uniform coat with matching black uniform pants. The person who is presumably Nastya's actor also seems to be wearing a dark shirt and dark pants.

The walls of the room appear to be black but they are grey about a third of the way up and come down white a bit from the white ceiling. The floor is grey. There is visible lights in front of the stage as well as equipment such as speaks around the band.

Image Two: A color photo of the Mechanisms on a stage, taken at an angle, so the stage it diagonally facing the left side of the frame. On the left side of the frame and Morgan, playing the flute, and Tim, playing the guitar. In the middle of the frame the shadows of Jonny (who is not, himself, pictured) and Tim are visible; Jonny's shadow has his left hand clawed up next to his head. On the right side of the frame Ben stands, playing a red accordion, with his body turned toward the camera. Behind Tim a black sheet is hung, while behind Ben and Morgan are cream colored posts and red curtains on the ceiling. There is a mic stand in front of Morgan and one in front of Ben. Morgan wears a red half sleeve shirt under a brown corset bodice with a hiked brown skirt and brown boots. Tim is wearing his typical white shirt under a brown waistcoat and brown long coat with grey jeans; however he is actually wearing his goggles over his eyes. Brian is wearing a white long sleeve shirt under a black waistcoat with black pants and a black top hat with goggles around the crown of it.

Image Three: a red book with the logo of Once Upon A Time In Space sits on a mid toned wooden table with a pair of welding goggles on them. The logo is a tall black palace with a crown shape above it, over an open book, with stars between the crown and book. The goggles are made of medium brown leather with brass around the edges of the eye pieces and green lenses.

Image Four: The book from the previous image opened. The page that is centered is titled with "Once Upon A Time (In Space)" which is framed. Under this it reads "Being an account of the last years of Old King Cole and the circumstances precipitating his fall from power, as witnessed by the pyrate crew of the Aurora." A small portion of another page is visible which writing in various hand writings on it, which read "hope you enjoy!" and "killed in the" and "-hanisms" and "-an." It is on the same wooden surface from the last image.

Image Five: a screencap of a twitter search for "from:TheMechanisms nastya." Two tweets are included.

Tweet One is from 8 March 2014. It reads "And lo, portents were there that the DRUMBOT [drumbot] would return, and play the drum like he's fucking supposed to. / Nastya." This is followed by a photo of a set of drums made up of a purple bass drum with two matching, attached toms, a blue snare, and three cymbals. These drums are in a white walled room on a light colored carpet, in front of an organ and a radiator with other probable instruments propped up against the wall and in the corner. This tweet has three retweets and eight likes.

Tweet Two is from 22 Feb 2014. It reads "You lot are welcome to it. /Nastya."

In both tweets "Nastya" is bold.

Image Six: Tim and Frank stand back to back, holding their guitar and bass, respectively, in front of a body of grey water which is directly in front of a stone building. Tim's head is facing toward the camera, while Frank is looking down toward their instrument.

Tim has light skin, shoulder length curly brown hair, and short brown facial hair. He wears a long sleeve white shirt under a vest that appears to be camo patterned with faded blue jeans and a brown leather belt. Over his face he wears a more modern pair of welding goggles than he typically has; this pair have black lenses set into a green plastic frame and skirt. He is looking towards the camera. Tim's guitar is acoustic and made of light wood on the front and darker wood around the sides and for the neck and head. The guitar strap is black and has a red square on it.

Frank has medium brown skin and shoulder length, straightened, dark brown hair. They wear a white, long sleeve shirt, untucked, with a light grey tie under a black waistcoat with black jeans. They wear a thin, black sleeve garter on their visible arm and a black fedora. Their bass is electric, has five strings, and the body of it is a slate blue color.

Image Seven: A photo of Ben diagonally facing toward the viewer's left. He is hold his drumsticks, crossed, in front of him and is looking at the camera. He is standing on green grass with some leaves on it, a willow type tree is behind him as well as a paved road, on that road a silver hatchback car is parked, on the other side of the street some buildings are visible, some of which are red brick and some are white plaster or siding.

Ben has light skin, chin length, curly, reddish brown hair, and matching short facial hair. He wears a white button up shirt under a black, brown, and gold patterned waistcoat, under a black overcoat, with dark jeans. He has a top hat on his head which has retro welding goggles around the crown and a second pair of drumsticks tucked in the band.

Image Eight: A photo of Morgan sitting on grass in front of the same water and buildings visible in Image Six. He is cross-legged and hunched over; in his right hand, rested against his thigh, he holds his flute, while his left is holding a book, open enough to hold the page, but closed enough to protect the pages or not allow others to see inside; this book is stacked on top of two other books. Behind Morgan and to the left side of the frame Ben's left left and the lower part of his left arm can be seen. He holds one drumstick in his visible hand. His clothes are the dame as those in the previous photo, but now it is visible that he is wearing an olive green canvas belt, as the end of it is hanging loose.

Morgan has light skin and short, straight, dyed hair. It is mostly bright red, but the bangs are a lilac color and the sideburns are a medium teal. He is looking toward the right side of the frame, so his face is mostly in profile. He wears a dark grey, collared shirt, with a muted blue and orange patterned tie, under a dark red waistcoat, with dark brown, possibly corduroy, trousers. On his feet he wears black boots. He has a silver stud type earring in his visible lobe.

Of the books in front of him, the bottom one is the largest; it is bright red, including the edges of the pages and the Title is debossed on the spine in gold; it is hard to make out, but reads "[cut off] Great [too blurry to read] [too blurry to read] World." The second book in the stack is the smallest; the cover appears to be light blue and it is quite worn; the spine of this book is not visible. The final book in the stack is not much smaller than the first; it has a beige cover and the spine and adjoining edge of the cover are brown; neither the spine not the cover are angled such that the title is visible; this book is also worn, but not as much as the blue book. All of the books are hard cover and their covered seems to have fabric on them; non of them have dust jackets. The red book appears to be new, but made in an older style, where as the other two seem older.

NASTYA ART

I do not yet understand how to add more than one image at a time, but when I do I will get the other blorbos up here. Anyway, this has already been put on Reddit but apparently Mechs Tumblr is active as shit so it's going here now too. Nastya as M (mechanic, or monarch, take your pick (king and queen were too gendered for these mfs)) of Auroras from the card set I'm designing. I love her. No, seriously, I cannot articulate how much I love her.

Also, no, none of this is intentionally meant to line up with the cards that each of The Mechs get in Who Killed Doc Carmilla. Just what I think would work.

Not sure quite how to do an image ID thing (please help I don't understand Tumblr yet), but I'll give it a shot --

Image ID: Drawing of Nastya Rasputina based on a real image of her. She has her eyes closed, and is playing the violin. There is a gear in the background. The image is mirrored along the x-axis. On her right in both halves of the image, there is a blue 'M' and a small drawing of The Aurora, which are indications of her suit and rank in a set of cards. End of image ID.

(Thank you to the person who explained how to image ID a bit better in their reblog, I think I've done it right but please correct me if I'm wrong)

Okay thanks I'll stop rambling now. Actually, no, I have no idea how social Tumblr is but if anyone has suggestions for what object-thingy I should do for the background of either Carmilla or Marius then please, please, PLEASE give me suggestions. I'm getting closer to having to draw them, and I still don't know what to do for the background.

Now I'll actually stop rambling, sorry, I hope you enjoy the space lesbian, goodbye.

[waddup-its-homegirl]

Just saw someone laughing at the fact the actual vehicle of transportation type ship was included in a fuck marry kill game. Little do they know it’s VERY serious to HER (nastya rasputina I miss you so much)

[gendiegremlin]

ok i've figured out what i want everyone to be. races and classes will be above the cut and explanations will be under the cut so this isnt a horrendously long post

nastya - elf, battle smith artificer

ivy - kenku, diviner wizard

raphaella - aarakocra, maverick artificer

jonny - goblin, wild magic sorcerer

brian - warforged, oath of the ancients paladin

marius - gnome, college of creation bard

tim - human, gunslinger fighter

ashes - dragonborn, wildfire druid

ts - changeling, arcane trickster rogue

nastya

elves are all graceful and stuff and i thought that sort of fit because she was a princess

they can have naturally blue hair

elves are slow to make friends and enemies but slow to forget them as well (did i take this idea of nastya straight from this fanfic? yes absolutely and you can't stop me)

artificer was an obvious choice cause shes the engineer

battle smith artificers are good at fixing things. sort of like a machine medic

battle smith artificers have a machine companion that sticks with them, so i'm gonna make that aurora

ivy

kenku are sort of based on ravens, and ravens are smart

kenku don't know where their race came from, which i thought was a cool parallel to ivy not remembering her past

"kenku are blessed with keen observation and supernaturally accurate memories"

ivy is a wizard because books

i chose diviner wizard because divination is about finding things out

raphaella

aarakocra because wings

artificer because she's a scientist

maverick artificers dabble in tons of stuff but keep abandoning projects to find out new stuff and i thought that was great for raph (she has adhd and you cant change my mind)

i thought the aspect of additional spells from other spell lists was a cool reflection of how raph also wants to find things out but in a much more hands-on way than ivy

jonny

jonny is just a little goblin man. what can i say i had no choice

@mightybeaujester you were so right to say jonny would be a paladin with an oath of fucking things up and i tried to hard to find an oath that i thought reflected that well but the one i thought came closest was basically an oath of just looking out for yourself and noone else

i made him a wild magic sorcerer because if anyone deserves to cause that amount of chaos its jonny

there are some things on the wild magic table that are helpful and some that are very much not helpful. i thought that was cool because jonny has no regard for his own wellbeing as long as hes fucking things up

brian

warforged was an obvious choice. big metal man

brians class was SO HARD to choose

@liuqinggessocialskills you were so right to say that brian would be a monk based on vibes alone. he has monk vibes. but i couldnt bring myself to make him a monk because i couldn't think of any actual reasoning. maybe he can multiclass into monk later. i will keep you updated (if i remember. and if i actually play these guys. wow thats a lot of ifs)

i went with paladin because i feel like he would have an oath of helping people. cause both his morality switches are to help its just that the way that he tries to help changes

i knew he had to be a spellcaster

he couldn't be a cleric because that would mean being bound to one god and i feel like that wouldn't work with the morality switch

so yeah we ended up at paladin

oath of the ancients was basically 'yeah i want to help, but not because i have good morals'

tim

i could not think of a good race for tim so i just went with the obvious choice and made him human. i dont usually want to make humans, but tim is literally from london so i did

@mightybeaujester THANK YOU FOR SAYING TIM AS A GUNSLINGER FIGHTER I DIDNT KNOW THAT EXISTED BUT ITS SO PERFECT

i dont think that needs any more explanation. the most gun and explosion class ever

marius

gnome. small man. short guy. tiny

also gnomes are silly and whimsical (sort of. to a degree) and if any of the mechs are silly and whimsical its marius

bard. this guy loves music. hid a violin in his arm. IN HIS ARM. music guy

also sort of bard because i had to make someone a bard and i had no other ideas for marius. apparently marius had befuddled us all because all the other mechs had multiple suggestions and marius had next to none

college of creation is literally the bards that are just like YEAH MUSIC LETS GO. they are the singy bards

ashes

ashes had to be some kind of dragon descent (because fire). so it was either dragonborn (or something similar like kobold or half-dragon) or draconic sorcerer. i tried to not double up on classes (key word is try because both ivy and raph are artificers) and sorcerer was already taken, so dragonborn it is

@liuqinggessocialskills ashes as a wildfire druid is so right. they just be setting everything on fire. not much more explanation needed

ts

ok so i do have reasoning for ts being a changeling but can i put it into words? not very well. but im gonna try

so changeling can sort of change their identity and i thought that would be cool for ts because at the start it was pretending to be the widow's husband and now it's not

also a changeling doesn't usually stay in their true form so they're pretending to be whatever they've changed into and ts is only pretending to be real so that sort of matches up

stole the arcane trickster rogue idea straight from @mightybeaujester. you're right it is a rogue. i cant explain why but youre right

thanks to @mightybeaujester, @liuqinggessocialskills, @lolgmalolg-did-nothing-wrong, @thenforgotten, and @rocksanddeadflowers for your help i read all of them and they were all very good suggestions

guys this is very important what dnd race and class do you think each of the mechanisms would have? im gonna make a character out of every single mech and its gonna be great but im so stuck on what they could be

What did you think of Magik #1?

Happy Birthday, Illyana? 🎉

Magik is plagued by a nightmare of the Darkchild urging her to submit to the demonic corruption within her soul.

Magik ♥️ 🍰

Illyana’s fondness for cake, and her troubles obtaining it as a member of the X-Men, continue.

Bigots and Funerals and Demons, Oh My! 😱

Magik slaughters The Crow Demon’s demonic minions during a funeral for a young girl named Moni being picketed by anti-mutant protestors. I always love when Illyana cuts loose on the supernatural with her Soulsword, and writer Ashley Allen allows Magik to obliterate demons in this much like she did with vampires in the Blood Hunt one-shot she wrote back in 2024.

The Crow Demon 🐦‍⬛

This guy is a total asshole. Designed by artist Peach Momoko, The Crow Demon wants to shatter five seals imprisoning his master Liminal beneath Alaska, allowing the entity to unleash an apocalypse. Writer Ashley Allen drew inspiration for Magik’s solo series from some of her favorite manga series, which include Soul Eater, Full Metal Alchemist, and Demon Slayer. It should be fun reading Illyana’s intercontinental quest to thwart Liminal’s demonic minions.

Magik Uses Actual MAGIC! ✨

Magik cauterizes a wound to her arm, casts a spell to render the Crow Demon mute, and erects a mystic barrier to contain the spread of Liminal’s influence from the first broken seal. One of the biggest problems fans have had with Illyana’s characterization in recent years is when she’s depicted as nothing more than a sword-wielding mode of transport, when in fact she’s one of the most powerful sorceresses in the Marvel universe. The writer clearly heard the fans, and depicts her using *GASP!* witchcraft. Magik also once again emerges the reigning champion of the censored profanity speech bubble in the X-Men universe. Prove me wrong.

Illyana ♥️ Children

Poor Cal Isaacs. Belonging to a family of mystics dedicated to preventing Liminal’s escape for generations, the boy’s grandmother was training him to become the next keeper of the journal containing magic necessary to stop the entity before the Crow Demon kills her. Now, Cal finds himself alone, and demands that Illyana allow him to accompany her. Magik, feeling responsible for the boy’s predicament, agrees. I’ve always enjoyed a storyline trope where a strong female protagonist embarks on a dangerous mission with a child she’s entrusted to care for. One of Magik’s biggest weaknesses is children. Allen is fully aware of Rasputina’s love of them, and incorporates that here. But be careful, Cal. As much as Magik adores children, they have a horrible tendency of vanishing from her life as though they never existed.

Darkchild Unleashed?

The Isaac Family journal foretells the coming of Darkchild, a tidbit of information that Cal keeps from Magik. I’ve always wondered if there was a cult in the Marvel universe that worshipped Darkchild, or an organization founded to prevent her from destroying creation. Allen seems to be addressing that with the Isaacs. Who they truly are and what they know has yet to be revealed, but I’ve always enjoyed a good mystery.

Final Verdict: ⭐️⭐️ Out Of Five Stars

I like that the series is focusing on the darker side of Illyana’s lore with a supernatural horror vibe. One of the things I enjoy most about the character is her struggle to remain a hero despite the evil inside of her, and I feel like that subplot has been sanitized for the general reader’s protection, as of late. I’m eager to see more of Magik combatting this villainous manifestation. I love German Perálta’s artwork in this, and kudos to Allen for using the original spelling of Darkchild first introduced in The New Mutants #13 back in 1984. I see what you did there. 👍 Magik could turn out to be great, or it could be mediocre. It’s too soon to tell, but I like what I’ve seen so far. It takes time for any good series to find its groove. Is it phenomenal? No. Is it horrible? Also no. Good luck to the title’s entire creative team on making their labor of love a resounding success. Illyana is in capable hands, and I look forward to her future adventures.

[shoggoth-the-bitch]

I'm not asked about the specifics of the actual singers but the head canons everyone else has about the characters. I know how I head canon it but I'm curious what other people think.

Might also make one for who the tallest is, we'll see.

Round 2, Match 54: Shōta Aizawa vs. Doctor Carmilla

Submitted kids:

Shōta Aizawa: Class 1-A, minus Mineta, plus Shinsou Hitoshi (total of 20 kids). Mainly Eri, Shinsou, and Midoriya

Doctor Carmilla: Jonny d'Ville, Nastya Rasputina, The Toy Soldier, The Starship Aurora, Ashes O'Reilly, Drumbot Brian, Gunpowder Tim, Ivy Alexandria, Raphaella la Cognizi * Marius von Raum

Propaganda under the cut!

Shōta Aizawa:

1. “This grumpy teacher pretends not to care about his students, sleeps during his own classes and why talk when you can also make annoying children silent by (harmless) force? Yet he loves them and they love him while he doesn't show it all that often.”

2. “He didn't mean to adopt them yet he did and he is grumpy about it. If he goes "those are my kids, damn it" it's not to someone else, it's to himself, with the damn it being a "fuck, why". Yet he is so 100% willing to risk his life for them. Because they *are* his kids now.”

3. “Idk the man is so tired what can I say. Harsh as australias wildlife but bc he doesn’t want them to actually die in the field so he’s trying to make them give up on signing up to risk your lives every day. I just submitted kiryu and I think that kiryu, bruce, and aizawa are soul sisters. They are all very special to me”

4. “Oh he tries so hard to stay scary and detached, keeps threatening to expel students, keeps saying he hates kids, and look at him now. Missing several pieces and risked death multiple times to protect them, at least 3 classes of ~20 students each lowkey adoring him, and literally canonically (not said out loud but it's basically official come on, they live together) adopted a little girl that was found by the protagonist and saved from the mafia. Also personally took the matter in his own hands when another department's student (so not one of his) showed a desire to change course, so much that even if this kid has living and loving parents he's often Aizawa's adopted family in fanfiction.”

Doctor Carmilla:

“Morally ambiguous mother who adopts her kids and makes them immortal both to have a family and a band. What can I say. This family is incredibly dysfunctional and so very fun.”

[zurdurer]

UAGHHHH no they're all so very lovely and sweet and man I should buy a big mattress

THE VALENTINE SHANTY IS SO NASTYA RASPUTINA AND AURORA CORE SEND FUCKING TWEET

BUT BUT SPECIFICALLY THE FIRST CHUNK IS AURORA AND THE REST IS NASTYA

LOOK

DO YALL SEE THE FUCKING VISION OR AM I ACTUALLY CRAZY???

[mushroompoisoning]

Good friend, I ask of you because I trust you, what are these "The Mechanisms" you are so fond of?

Okay I tried to type out an incredibly long summary but tumblr deleted it so you're getting a semi-sane version instead

The Mechanisms are a band of immortal, space-faring pirates travelling the universe singing about the tragedies they witness for our entertainment!

There are nine main members you'll hear about, with the tenth - Dr Carmilla - having left much earlier and making her own music 👍 ( there is technically an eleventh but they're more of a mystery easter egg than anyone we know things about )

Quick lore thing: the mechanisms immortality works from the mechanical part(s) they each have. They can die and get injured, but they'll revive whenever the narrative wants them too. All logic in this universe functions off of Would It Be Good For The Story

The cast is:

Jonny D'Ville (he/him) is the ship's first mate ( don't let him tell you otherwise ) and he's got a mechanical heart

Nastya Rasputina (she/her) is the ship's engineer and girlfriend! Yea the ship - Aurora - is alive btw. She's got me hanical blood

Ashes O'Reily (they/them) is the ship's quartermaster and best arsonist! they've got mechanical lungs

Drumbot Brian (he/him) is the ship's pilot and the only one with a moral code. It's controlled by a switch which flips between Means Justify Ends and Ends Justify Means with no nuance. everything is mechanical except for his heart

Ivy Alexandria (she/her) is the ship's archivist! Pretty chill, cares more for books than violence but that doesn't mean she disapproves of the latter. she's got a mechanical brain

The Toy Soldier (it/its) is the mascot and whatever else they tell it to be! it just wants to be involved. will follow anything you tell it if you ask nicely ( or with enough force ). it's not actually mechanized, and is instead a sentient wooden man

Gunpowder Tim (he/him) is the ship's master at arms! madman war veteran who I love dearly. he blew up the moon. he's great. I pick favourites. he's got mechanical eyes

Raphaella La Cognizi (she/her) is the ship's unethical scientist! nothing is off the table when it comes to research. nothing. theory is she mechanized her, but iirc that unconfirmed. she's got a mechanical spine and wings!

and Baron Marius Von Raum (he/him) who is neither the ships baron nor doctor. he claims to be both, though. Deeply unserious fella. he's got a mechanical arm

^ here are some good images for crew reference

OKAY! Now onto actual music

They have six albums and a couple singles!

Once Upon a Time (In Space) is an unconventional retelling of classic fairytales

High Noon over Camelot is a retelling of King Arthur

Ulysses Dies at Dawn is a greek mythos adaptation

and The Bifrost Incident is a norse mythos adaptation

there's also Tales To Be Told volumes I and II, and the two single Frankenstein and Death To The Mechanisms ( technically that one is part of an album but the album is just a bunch of their other songs from already existing albums )

The tales to be told albums contain some of the mechanisms origins!

One Eyed Jacks is Jonny's

Lucky Sevens is Ashes'

Lost In The Cosmos is Brian's

and Gunpowder Tim vs The Moon Kaiser I don't think I have to say

Nastya has an origin song, but it was never officially put on anything. You can find it on the @mechanismslorearchive ( you can get any lore you want on there )

They also have a number of live shows ( you can find those on youtube ) and written stories on their website! I recommend these if you wanna get to know the mechanisms as characters better

that is the basic rundown. I'm not an expert on the mechs so if you're looking to talk to a metaphorical seasoned nurse instead of a med student I'd go to @bugsinthebayou or @gunpowderdtim (sorry for tagging yall)
