#hnoc mordred

[adozenforks]

Does anyone else want to do full genomic sequencing on the Saxons and the people of Camelot and then compare them or is it just me?

I want to know how much the two populations diverged in the unspecified time between "Holder of the GRAIL" and Mordred failing his driving test

Also I'm guessing that the evolutionary rate is ridiculously high among Saxons because of the radiations, but also given the low survival rate, in normal conditions there should be a low genetic diversity because of the bottleneck effect

i dont know how to explain it but to me udad and hnoc are like opposites of each other. (Under read more, cause it is loooooonnnnng)

With udad the situation everyone is in is bonkers shit. The world they live in is absolutely shithole of a place that exploits everyone but the richest of the rich and the people there cant escape even after their death. Every single one of them is bitter and depressed and wronged and just wants to survive and they'll do anything to survive even if it meant killing the other one. All the natural part of that world is long dead and only thing exists is this cold dark metallic hellscape of a city that swallowed its own planet like a cancer. Almost all the songs are just how everyone was exploited, used, wronged, and discarded they were. Ulysses is a drunk fallen 'hero' completely guilt ridden by their role in Illium's fall. They had lost everyone and everything even before the album began. They spent so much of their throughout album getting their shit beat in. They, Heracles, and Orpheus go to Hades (Ashes) in hopes to be freed whether as a request, through theft, or through a deal. And Ashes all but set them all up to die for their own amusement (which btw very sexy of them <3 but that is besides the point). There seemed to be no hope for them.

And yet, despite everything the ending is so hopeful. We know that Ulysses would die, if it wasnt obvious from the title of the album itself it certainly becomes obvious when we learn how their world works. And yet they died a happier ending, they escaped the curse of their city and died reunited with their love. Ulysses died under an oak tree in a grassy fields, among nature which was thought to be dead since The City's takeover. Ulysses died being warmed by sunlight, a right denied to so many others like them. Ulysses died at dawn.

And then there is hnoc. Hnoc starts heroic. Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere take over Camelot from the corrupt Stone clan through their skills and teamwork. They turn it into a place of safety with all three of them incharge. Their lives are hard and filled with violence and hatred and fear and the world they live is harsh and unforgiving. But they still have each other, and they still care for the people around them. There is nature like scorpions and vultures despite it being a space station. The album has songs about love and being in love, about hope of peace, about power of faith. Everyone wants to survive and they are willing to work together to do it. Arthur is embittered by his "daughter's" death but still has his partners to keep him grounded and is ruler/sheriff of a powerful town with lots of knights working for him. What is more, the tragedy that hardened both Arthur and Gawain can be healed because the person they mourn isnt dead, he is Mordred and he is here to make amends. Arthur, Gawain, and Galahad go to Merlin (Brian) to seek aid, and he gives them advice that truly could have saved them, because Merlin really did wanted to save them and the entire station. There seemed to be hope for them.

And yet in the end it meant nothing. It was all for nothing. Alfred and Gawain did not listen to Brian's advice and ended up sealing theirs and everyone else's fate. Galahad did take Brian's advice and it destroyed him in a self sacrifice that ended up being for nothing. Mordred tried so hard for peace but at the end seeing the hatred and cruelty of his world hardened him to the core. Gawain's hatred turned peace talks into war and turned him into sawage barbaric monster he thought Saxons to be. Arthur's hardened core did not let him hope that his child could ever return to him and ended up not giving Mordred even a chance. What could have saved everyone Fort Gallfridian ended up turning into what destroyed Fort Gallfridian whether it be the GRAIL or Mordred. Almost all of them died a pointless avoidable death. And Arthur? Arthur lost everything. He lost his partners, he lost his chance to embrace his son, he lost his home, he lost his people. He may have survived but at the end he lost everything. High noon over Camelot. We didnt understand what it truly meant (all of them dying in the sun) until it was too late.

Ulysses shoots once, and it led to their happy ending. Gawain shoots once, and it led to everyone's tragedy. 3 shots all for Ulysses and it killed them. 3 shots for Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere, and it hurt Arthur but never killed him. Ulysses was the only one who got to die under the sun, Arthur was the only one who didnt die in the sun.

Where did Mordred find HRT in an irradiated space station?

I now have two different Mechanisms storylines that I completely made up on accident because I was so hyperfixated on Once Upon a Time (In Space) for so long, that I am only now listening to everything else

1) The first was a fake album where the crew were all in prison together and were piecing a story one by one separately, born from half listening to The Ignominious Demise of Dr. Pilchard and the vague knowledge that there was an album with some of them in prison.

2) The second being the belief that Gawain and Arthur were both of Mordred’s parents, instead of it just being Arthur. Which, honestly, would have made the second part of High Noon Over Camelot so much funnier if true.

Some brainless skiddles of last week!

"The average Mechanisms character has two parents" factoid is actually a statistical error. The average Mechanisms character has one parent because every tale is dangerous as all hell. Mordred Pendragon, who has five parents, is a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted

[id: a drawing of gawain and mordred from high noon over camelot standing besides one another on a clay-yellow background. gawain is tall with dark tan skin and long, oily black hair. he’s missing an eye, and has scars across his face and other areas of exposed skin. he wears a hat, collared shirt, vest, and jeans. he stares off past the viewer, looking grim. mordred is a shorter, fat man with darker skin, sparse facial hair, and a large afro with thin braids hanging from the bottom. he wears a green cloak, off-white shirt, dark blue jeans, and leather fingerless gloves. he’s facing off to the side, eyeing gawain suspiciously. one hand scratches the back of his head.

I think HNOC would be so funny if Arthur and Mordred look exactly alike. Lancelot just notes to Guinevere how similar they look and they’re both like “haha funny coincidence right.” Meanwhile Arthur and Mordred are like staring at a hydroponics pipe with the exact same expression on the exact same face.

i really like mordred guys
