Just think about how beautifully melancholic Alicent Hightower is, with her deep brown eyes full of sorrow.

inviting him to my bedchambers

[roguerambles]

Hades: "Explain. Now."

Poseidon: "Brother, I truly do not-"

Hades: *drops a pile of scrolls onto the table* "Droughts, flash-floods, earthquakes, violent storms. In the mortal realm. Simultaneously."

Apollo: "....how can there be a drought and flash-flood at the same time--?"

Hades: "I. Don't. Know. Apollo. But I want it to CEASE."

Reader: "Hang on, you aren't blaming us, are you?"

Hades: "All I know is the Underworld is overwhelmed, and instead of preparing for Zeus's trial, I am dealing with this. And you three disappeared after the funeral--"

Reader: "Hey, it was a sad day. We were taking time to recuperate. And, you know, seek comfort. And things."

Poseidon: "I was...distracted, Hades. I'll look into the disturbances on the ocean."

Hades: *dubious* "Distracted? Is that your way of saying you were sleeping on the job?"

Reader: "Of course we weren't SLEEPING, Hades!"

Apollo: "Yeah! Obviously, we were having sex--"

Reader: *kicks him*

Hades: "So you decided to have an ORGY after our brother's funeral?"

Poseidon: "...well, yes. It's what Zeus would want."

Hades: "....."

Do you ever catch yourself humming Mechs songs without realizing?

Yes and no. Most of the Mechs songs are riffing on existing folk tunes, sea shanties, trench songs, etc, because we all shared a deep love of that sort of music. Most of them were based on songs I already knew very well, and those songs still rattle around in my head pretty frequently, so while it's rare I find myself humming Mechanisms songs specifically, I will often be singing to myself the songs they come from. It's rare, for instance, that I find myself humming 'Cinders Song', but 'Haul Away Joe' is deep in my soul. It's unlikely I'll be singing 'Underworld Blues' to myself, but Geeshie Wiley's 'Last Kind Words' is a perennial favourite.

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.

It’s been years and I’ve never seen anyone mention it before, so I am: when Eddie gets shot by the sniper, Buck had just taken off his mask and was still holding it, but the best I can tell, he drops it as soon as Eddie’s blood splatters on him. Yes, obviously, he freezes in shock, we know that already, but he also seems to drop the mask. His entire body probably went numb, it wasn’t just him freezing, it was his brain not sending anymore signals to the rest of his body before he sees Eddie from underneath the fire truck. Eddie looks confused when he flinches at the bullet, like he doesn’t understand what happened yet, but Buck just goes weak because he can’t process it.
