ghostlahad meets gerry >:3

Galahad may have forgotten to mention the whole “space religion” thing

Gerry will not be getting any context

[allthedoorsareopennow]

thinking about how the darkness must feel comfortable and natural to the saxons. generations have presumably lived in the outer levels, they must be somewhat adapted to it, it must feel safe and comforting, even though the radiation hurts them. gun beats knife every time but not in the dark, not when the saxons know the landscape and their eyes are always adapted to the dark and the fools from above cannot see where to shoot. the darkness must feel protective and comforting and what incredible bravery to leave it and stumble out into the open to meet those who treat you like vermin, virtually defenceless against twice the number of guns as you have people. and the horror of your friends, your family mowed down in front of you in a storm of bullets, with nothing you can do

Vyncent doesn't have any mechanism, he just helps repair it whenever they break

Also you told me about the heart thing and I'm tempted to give it to Dakota now...

I AM A VYNCENT SOL GUNPOWDER TIM TRUTHER. MAKE HIS MECHANISMS HIS EYES !! okay youvce triggered my autism i have to tlak about mechs au pd now okay so

Mechs Ships Tournament: Transport Bracket Round 2 Poll 3

The Silvana: A ship Doctor Carmilla spent some time on after leaving the Mechanisms. It apparently has a bad Wi-Fi connection, according to the Mechanisms fandom wiki.

Moon Kaiser’s Life Pod: It was shielded against the force of twenty suns, even if Tim couldn’t get the visor up in time.

Arthur’s Lifepod: the last remnants of Fort Galfridian, and the tool Mordred used to save his father before plunging into the sun. Who knows how long Arthur stayed there, mourning his fallen world? He might still be there.

Random Mechanisms moments I love:

I refuse to listen to DotM so this is incomplete, and terribly formatted.

"Wasn't it the aristocratic one with all the knives?" "Ah yes, the Marquis de AlltheKnives,"

Ashes has a lot of gold on board, 'for tax purposes'.

Jonny "I got a prescription of 1/2 an ounce of lead to be injected directly into the brain. AND IT WASN'T A PRESCRIPTION FOR ME!" *bang* d'Ville.

The first time we canonically meet Jonny he commits patricide, murder, and arson.

The card taps in One Eyed Jack scratch my brain so well.

The fact that Oedipus is called a motherfucker. Multiple times.

Guinevere's verse in Blood and Whisky being faster, because she is the fastest draw.

Seriously I’ve listened to the song 50+ times and I still get so happy thinking about the faster tempo.

“We’re not pure of heart but we’re sure of aim,”. These three I swear.

All the Suits turning up in pinstripes.

The entirety of Gunpowder Tim vs. the Moon Kaiser. It's getting its own post, and I have listened to it 27 times since 12/03. That's 270 minutes, or 4.5 hours.

The dwarf Dopey just being General Tuco DOPED up on drugs.

The Toy Solider.

The fact that, even for a moment, love won in the end of High Noon Over Camelot.

How creepy Holder of the Grail is.

The Riddle of the Sphinx’s answer is man. The riddle of the sphinx virus was also man, taking the life force for themselves.

10 caliber= X-caliber= Excalibur.

The sellguns on Fort Galfridian are the same as freelances in medieval times.

Baldur was killed by Missle Two.

“Any window with a hammer can be an emergency exit”

Tim and Brian during the tea party in Alice.

The entirety of Alice, actually. I feel like it’s a hidden gem.

Lost in the Cosmos :(

In Drunk Space Pirate, Jonny calling himself first mate is the best way to show his character growth.

Ivy died in a library fire. Her last name is Alexandria. As in the Library of Alexandria. Which burned down.

Marius “mom says hi” von Raum in the UDAD live version of Favored Son.

Orpheus being called a borderline child in UDAD live show, but in the fiction he’s like 27.

Jonny playing the drums in the UDAD live show during Sirens. Very flamboyantly/pissily.

[jonnywaistcoat]

my dad has decided that gunpowder tim vs the moon kaiser is about world war 1

This is very funny to me - it's like saying your dad decided High Noon Over Camelot is about the wild west, or Ulysses Dies at Dawn is about film noire. Like, yeah, Gunpowder Tim is riffing on WWI - almost all the songs are based on old soldiers songs from the war, the tunnel-fighting is inspired by trench warfare, and the last time Germany had a "Kaiser" was Kaiser Wilhelm II, who abdicated after the German surrender.

Genuinely curious as to what you thought it was about, if you didn't have WW1 as a cultural touchstone?

[forklesbian]

So, I've been thinking about how much I love Death To The Mechanisms (Both the album and song, but particularly the song) I love how the instrumental under each death sounds different. Gunpowder Tims sounds more dramatic (I'm not sure if that would be the right word) and takes on the style kind of like the Bifrost Incident and how Marius' sounds like High Noon Over Camelot. Brian's has Lost in the Cosmos underneath it, which is just so perfect and so sad because it's both his past and his death. I love how there are two kind of categories for how they die, either a purposeful death that they did themselves or some small accident. Like Gunpowder Tim knew he was dying so he went on a rampage to possibly go out in a big explosion of infamy, but what took him out was not wearing a seat belt, because why would he wear a seat belt? He's survived ship crashes and much worse before, why would that be the thing that finally did him in? And Johnny dies in some probably completely avoidable bar fight. Imagine finding out the "immortal" that became such a big part of all your history was found dead from a simple stab in the heart.

That is if they even found most of their bodies. Brian's might have been found by a wandering ship, kept around as a interesting trinket they found, maybe never finding his heart and knowing he once lived. Nobody probably bothered to check the ship wreckage for Tim's corpse, they would probably just glad the mad man blowing everything up was dead. There is no way in hell anyone found Raphaella body. Ivy's body was probably discovered by explorers who wanted to check out the long burned library (and possibly find more interesting books than what she had saved) and found a long chared skeleton that became a museum peice for a short while due to its odd brain and several long gone items that appeared to be talisman or memorabilia of some kind, some say that one looked like a small violin or wings or metal playing cards, but nobody will ever know for sure. Johnny's body was probably quickly stripped of valuables and left to rot, or maybe they burned him to make sure that he wasn't as immortal as he claimed during the fight. Nothing was left to find of Marius. No one was left to find Ashes. Finding a wooden puppet on a empty planet was interesting to be sure, but nothing ground breaking, it didn't move and was hollow except for some rotting tissue in its throat, it's face looked oddly sad but it was probably just a discarded art project and was left to collect dust until the star nearest to its resting place took everything out. Some conspiracy theories might pop up about the crew, but eventually, enough time will pass that it doesn't really matter if immortals ever existed and any traces of them will be lost to time as well. Any history books mentioning things like The Moon Kaiser, New Texas, King Cole, or a crew of immortal psychos causing trouble or singing about war will rot or burn or just become uninteresting to everyone else.

As Galahad’s number 1 fan(probably), reblog this post with all your art of him or your headcannons and my life is yours.

Alternate universe where Nakaba goes down the route of Tristan being the main character but at the cost of Meliodas and Elizabeth being killed in the first chapter.

Tristan is raised deep within Benwick, hidden from Arthur and Camelot after he attacked and took over Liones. He nearly had full control of the continent, if it wasn't for the last of the Seven Deadly Sins coming together to make a safe haven deep within the Fairy King's Forest and Benwick where all races could come to hide and be safe from Arthur's genocide.

Ban and Elaine make good on Meliodas and Elizabeth's final wish, to protect their son with their lives and raise him where they cannot. They raise Tristan alongside Lancelot and the boys are closer than any single person Ban and Elaine have ever met. Not even a week apart in age, the two might as well be a single soul in two different bodies with how close they always are with one another, how protective and special they are to one another. From a young age, Lancelot seemed to take on a role of 'protector' for Tristan, and Tristan in turn took on a role of 'provider', always by one another's side and lifting each other up.

"I will see the day that Tristan ascends the throne," Lancelot tells his father one day, when he's hardly four and ten. He had been looking off into the horizon, the sun just peeking over it as the moon rose high in the sky, as he gazed out towards the direction of Liones.

Ban turned to him, surprised and caught off guard by his son's proclamation and Lancelot turned back to him, determination and vengeance in his eyes.

"I'll be there to see it, dad. I'll be there to seat him upon it and Arthur Pendragon will be dead."

Ban had seen the very same bloodlust in his son's eyes that he had in his own. An identical refractation of light in his orbs, a determination and perseverance that would never fade. He had the same anger that his father had, the same desire for vengeance and revenge that Ban had; to avenge his best friend and the princess that helped give him his happy ending, however fractured it may now be.

Ban and Elaine never wanted Lancelot and Tristan to grow up in the shadows of all their parents' mistakes. They never wanted the two of them to feel like they had to grow up and fight the battles their parents couldn't win. That was why they stayed hidden, why they stayed safe, took the cowards way out.

But, after Lancelot promises this to his father, swears it underneath the setting sun and rising moon, Ban thinks it might be too late to change their fates.

The boys are on the cusp of adulthood, both of them six and ten, when Arthur attacks The Fairy King's Forest and Ban and Elaine rush to aide King and Diane in protecting their home. Tristan and Lancelot are hidden within Benwick still, and Ban /commands/ that the boys stay behind, to not follow them. Of course, Tristan and Lancelot are the son's of Meliodas the Dragon Sin of Wrath and Ban the Fox Sin of Greed, they were never going to stay put.

Tristan Liones is revealed to be alive, after nearly two decades of searching, Arthur Pendragon finally has confirmation that the son of his greatest enemies lives, and it's then that Arthur knows that this 'war' was far from over, and that to end the Four Knights prophecy, he must kill the one and only Nephilim, to rid the world of a child that was the product of the greatest sin ever committed between two races; a child born of dark and light, a child doused in chaos.

Ban the Fox Sin of Greed is killed in the battle for the Fairy King's Forest and Arthur officially manages to take it over for himself after nearly twenty long years of fighting for the territory. Those who survived were spread all over the continent and Arthur sends his knights to kill them all. But, no one can find Lancelot of Benwick and Tristan Liones, they seemed to have disappeared completely, wiped off the map. If only it was that simple.

Two years later, sightings of a boy with silver hair and mismatched eyes makes it's way to Arthur's ears, and he himself leaves Liones to the spot where the sighting was made. In the ruins of the Fairy's Kings Forest on top of the Fairy Tree.

Arthur floats atop of the dismembered trunk and looks ahead to find the two boys he had been searching for all this time standing right in front of him, merely a dozen feet away.

"So," Arthur begins, grinning wide. "You two are alive. How wonderful."

They look aged, no doubt from hiding for so long. Lancelot's hair is spiked, just like his father's had been, and his stance is rigid, body shaped into strong muscles that could no doubt destroy mountains.

The long lost Prince of Liones is similar, his hair is long and braided, just as Queen Elizabeth's had been, and his mismatched eyes are hardened with years of rage and hatred. But, the thing that Arthur takes notice of is the earring on his left ear, the same earring that Queen Elizabeth and the members of the true royal family had worn. Somehow, someway, the flimsy piece of jewelry had survived, and Tristan was wearing it.

"I assume you are not here to surrender?" Arthur asks cheekily with a tilt of his head. "Have you come to die fighting me?"

"Arthur Pendragon," Lancelot of Benwick begins, side by side with Tristan. "Usurper, we tell you this now as to give you a warning; I'm going to rip you from the throne that rightfully belongs to Tristan Liones, Crown Prince of Britannia, and send you to hell."

Arthur blinks, somewhat taken aback before he laughs.

"And how exactly," He begins, taking a step forward, eyes darkening. "Do you plan to do that, little boy?"

Lancelot tilts his head. "Why ruin all the fun by telling you?"

Arthur just chuckles and shakes his head. "Foolish children," He says mockingly. "Guided by revenge, arrogance, and the false confidence of youth."

"So, same as you?" Lancelot quips back and it isn't until Tristan takes a step forward does the boy silence himself.

Arthur hums, taking note. Lancelot was Tristan's sword and shield, it seemed. The boys seemed overly protective of one another, irreversibly tied in ways that seemed to go beyond normality. It would almost be sweet, if their story wasn't destined to end in tragedy.

Tristan Liones walks up to him, until they're a mere five feet away from one another, if that, and Tristan stares him down like predator do prey. Arthur stares back, smiling.

"I'm going to sit my mother's throne," Tristan tells him, unblinkingly. "And you...you will be dead."

Arthur's smile widens. "Such confidence."

"The four races declare war on you, Arthur Pendragon," Tristan continues, as if he didn't hear him. "The Giants, Fairies, Goddesses, and Demons are coming for you. They are working together, coming to join as one to fight a common enemy, and do you know /why?/"

Tristan's eyes narrow and they turn gold.

"Because I am the true heir to the throne, because they believe in me, because they want to see you /dead/," He says, sharp tongued, just as his father was. "The four races have never come together before, they have never once agreed to peace terms or gone to truly help one another, not since the second Holy War, but they will for /me/."

Tristan's goddess wings flap wide and his eyes glow gold.

"I will ascend the throne you stole from me," He says, voice laced with a promise. "I will right the wrongs you've committed, and I will save this country. You can either live in my new world, or you can /die/ in your old one. Either way, I will see to it that you face justice for the genocide you're determined to carry out."

Then, he turns around and walks over to the edge of the tree's cut trunk, staring out at the destroyed and ruined forest below with Lancelot by his side, glaring back at Arthur.

Tristan turns back to him and their eyes meet.

"I do all of this...in the name of the parents you took from me."

Arthur stays there at the top of the destroyed tree long after they are gone and he stares at the spot they stood.

It isn't long until his fellow Chaos Knights come to him, racing towards him with worry, as he seemingly had been gone for nearly a full day. Night, after all, was approaching.

"My liege," One of them gasps out. "Are you alr---"

Arthur begins to laugh.

They all rear back, shocked as he laughs and laughs more, caught off guard and it isn't until Arthur composes himself and sighs do they seem to relax just the slightest.

"War, huh?" He says to himself absentmindedly as he grins wide. "Yes. I think I can handle that."

Lancelot of Benwick and Tristan Liones were destined to die just as their parents did; alone, broken, and ultimately defeated, for there was no other way for this story to end, and he would show them.

He would show them all.
