Ok ok so here's my casting for my Robin Hood mechanisms AU (+ some random ideas!)

Robin Hood: Gunpowder Tim (she/her)

Maid Marian: The Toy Soldier (she/her)

Prince John: Jonny D'Ville (he/him) (yes I made Jonny play a guy named John) (he'll probably only be referred to as "the prince")

The Sheriff: Marius von Raum (he/him)

Friar Tuck: Ashes O'Reilly (they/them)

Little John: Drumbot Brian (he/him)

Will Scarlet: Ivy Alexandria (he/she)

And I have a few random ideas for songs or stories, with the intro narration called 'The Highwayman' the next song called Merry Men and then the next narration is 'The Maid Marian' and the next song is Lady Love and it's all abt how Robin and his wife love each other very very much (think like Blood and Whiskey), somewhere I'll have the sheriff and the prince sing a gay little villain song, there will also be a part called 'The Heist' where the merry men plan out a heist to steal from the prince and then their daring escape, near the end there will be the whole contest thing where Robin disguises himself to win the archery contest and gets the prize, and at the end the last narration will be 'The Hospital' or something where the nurse who is actually evil (or something, I'm pretty sure) doesn't treat him right and the last song will be Robin singing to Little John about his end and the song will probably be called Where the Arrow Lands (bury me where the arrow lands, my loyal friend / how tragic, how sad, that it's come to an end) (or something like that I'll work on it) AND THEN HE DIES IN HIS ARMS OOOH SO TRAGIC

Yeahh and I'll have to go re-read the lyrics on the mechs' songs because their style of rhyming is different from what I usually use when writing songs so I'll have to change up my style a bit. (I think they write rhymes a/a/b/c/b or a/b/a/a/b something?? idk I've only really listened but I always write a/a/b/b)

Last thing, this miiight be called "In The Woods Of Nottingham" but the title is a work in progress

Sorry if this is kind of a mess, that's just how my brain feels right now I just Need to get some words down or I might explode

#wow so today was a Hyperfixation day huh #the whole bus ride home I was buzzing with energy #I really wanted to bounce my leg but someone was sitting beside me so I thought it would be annoying to them #so I just very very quickly tapped my fingers to the beat of my music #(which was the mechanisms of course)#I kept bouncing/skipping as I walked home too #and when I got to my house I had to run up and down the stairs a few times to wear off a bit of the energy #& all through supper I was either tapping my fingers or flexing/shaking my hands #(I think maybe I have a bit of adhd?? I don't know??)#so anyway umm yep I'll go plan/write some more of that #most likely the format will be an ao3 fic with a different chapter for every narration or song in their story order #maybe the first chapter explaining who's playing who #there will be no actual music sadly only the song lyrics #because I'm not that good at creating a tune and I play exactly zero instruments #I think that's it!! I will probably give updates as I go along!!#robin hood mechs au #(and that's the tag I decided on I guess)
