[shitty-mechs-headcannons]

in 'alice', it says 'nearby, she saw soldiers in all manner and colours of uniform'

my hc is that TS was here, for funsies, and it also gave them a bunch of tea - as it also mentions earl gray later on in the song

Oh TS was THRIVING throughout Alice

My personal mechanisms headcannon is that in Alice, the general and the majors were all very much, painfully aware of the war and the nonsensical nature of it and are doing their best to drive everyone in a different direction.

Any solider that goes to the major with the same claims as Alice, or talking about how long are we going to keep fighting, who are we even fighting, etc is directed towards the majors

The majors who use their “tea” to keep a perpetual ceasefire where they’ll fight tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes

And they hope, just hope, that the war eventually ends without further bloodshed or that at the very least, the soldiers under their command will remain eternally unaware, maybe die of old age before ever having to step back out onto the battlefield again.

They know there’s nothing to this was except senseless violence, they know there’s no way to convince the queen or her court to end the war. The general cannot do so without being accused of treason. So instead they watch for the soldiers that come to their senses, hoping to find a way out, which the general offers, and is gladly taken. “Eat me and drink me are orders so sweetly obeyed” maybe whatever they give them is to keep them out of their heads for whatever horrors they have to fight through to get to Hatter and Hare’s little haven.

“This world is a wonderland once you can understand death” I choose to believe this is about the general hoping all the mindless soldiers die out while they manage to preserve and protect the soldiers who finally came out of it.

And of course, Hatter and Hare do their parts, making sure everyone stays in this eternal ceasefire, never leaving, never tempted to go back, just enjoying their lives until the war dies or they do. They can’t outwardly say they refuse to fight, so they just hide it in pretty language. “Our entrenchment entrenched till more orders emerge, while wars borders diverge here we stay! / With war plans in pieces- and peace talks disbarred! We’re on the brink, just not tonight” like yeah we’re going to fight of course, we just don’t know when :( or where :( how sad. Oh well. Until we have clear orders ig. Except of course, there’s never going to be clear orders.

Just three people doing their best to protect what’s left of the future

Mechtober Day 11: Robots/AI

.. as they got closer, Alice realised they weren't really Rose Reds. Just their skin, stretched across shuddering robot bodies.

Oh. We are fighting! We're just having a ceasefire.

“poor alice, stuck in wonderland”

“although it seems she’s starting to like the madness these days..”

teehee @mechtober-2024 day 5, while i was tempted to stick her in the typical alice in wonderland apparel, i did like sticking to the ending that the mechs gave her :3

i might do her in the other one another time tho

also here’s the non-warped version:

IIIITS THE CATERPILLAR! Design and pose loosely based off @reegis ‘s design for the caterpillar!

[why-am-i-hereagain]

okay but if ashes o'riley walked up to me and said "drink this" or "eat this" i would do it in a heart beat. Any anti drug campaign id seen in the past would disappear from my memory. instantly. No thought.
