Things on Midgard were... rocky, to say the least. The Ratatosk Express disappearing allowed us to gain independence from Asgard, but everything was still chaotic. But it was getting better. Things were finally improving before the train arrived.

I'm sure you know what happened after that.

I wanna talk about the main four mechanisms albums, and the ways in which they tackle tragedy. This shouldn’t be too long, and I’m kinda new to writing essays like this, but it seemed like fun.

Firstly OUATIS, I could go on and on abour OUATIS, like how the tragedy of OUATIS is baked into the genre. from the get go it’s about war and trauma and fascism, all things that while not exclusively, lend themselves to death and murder. You can listen to the first half of OUATIS and realize “oh shit, everyone involved is gonna die” by genre and the thematics of it alone.

Because that’s what war does

That’s what war is

For UDAD it’s a little more esoteric, and I probably have the least to say about it cuz it’s not my least Favoirte, not bad, just my least favorite. I think the best way to describe it is the line from twisted threads “how can you expect to escape if you were caught in a web before you began.” It’s made clear from the base set up that the olympians control everything, and as much as a heroic victory and triumph would be nice, some things just truly are too big to fail. Though arguably, amongst all the albums it has the best ending, the Olympians may not be brought down(in the album), the city might not be saved

But Ulysses gets to die, truly die and rest.

Something billions, perhaps trillions had stolen from them.

HNOC is definitely one of my favorites on this, being such a distinct and fun story and narrative. The tragedy is of the people themselves, and in a way I think it makes it the “most tragedy” out of the four, all of its preventable, yet entirely understandable. Hell, “just this once there could be a happy ending” is literally a line in it. Mordred’s actions are deplorable and violent and ruin everything but they’re understandable. He lost everything, why should the world live? It’s a dip into true nihilism and whag could lead someone to feel that way. Sometimes worlds are saved, and sometimes they aren’t. Sometimes worlds are killed, sometimes they simply grow old, but sometimes they kill themselves. And I think what makes it the most special compared to the other three is when it becomes doomed. OUATIS is about a bloody war, UDAD they were born into a web, TBI yhe conflict itself was resolved 80 years before the modern day the story is told through. But HNOC wasnt doomed from the start, the station wasn’t guaranteed to die, the Saxons weren’t guaranteed to be slaughtered. Yet nonetheless they were.

And finally TBI, now it’s what rly got my brain going on all of this, because I had the question “where does the tragedy become inevitable?” And frankly, there’s a lot of answers. TBI is doomed because the nuclear chaos was on its way before lyfrassir was even before. Because Odin wouldn’t stop no matter what. Because even if they hadn’t of messed with kyvasir there would have been dozens of other bifrost trains. But more than ALL OF THAT I think that the tragedy is inevitable because, as the album says. “A day, a week, a thousand years, means naught to what the train draws near.” It doesn’t matter, even if Loki’s missile had killed Odin and stopped the bifrost, someone else would have come along. Even the victory we got in the album itself, it wasn’t a victory, it was merely a prolonging, inevitable death was merely stalled, that’s the closest thing anyone could ever get to victory against the roiling nuclear chaos.

Which of the Mechanisms would you date?

None. None of them.

WIP Lyfrassir Edda ultimate sketchbook

I turned Lyfrassir Edda into my dnd character, over a few months I have now over 300 drawings of him. This is a wip of all the traditional art I have of him, compiled together in a cohesive way :)

He’d be a warlock to a great old one, unknowingly spreading the horrors of the Bifrost through knowledge alone as he flees further and further into the outer universe

A bit of backstory on his life back on Midgard :) I’m writing a dnd oneshot set there though I have enough lore to make a campaign

This page is still a wip but this is more of the cultural side of Midgard/ Yggdrasil system as a whole

Fun Yogsothoth endeavours :)

I have so much lore, lmk if you want any more/ I can answer any questions! It’s really thought out.

I’ll keep updating and slowly drop more art here hopefully under rkartlyf tag !!

*There was nothing but destruction. And yet Lyfrassir Edda, former Inspector, could do nothing but watch as everything around them was being destroyed. They heard screaming, and running, but Lyf couldn't find the energy to get up. All they did was grip their pocketwatch. The pocketwatch they'd kept in their pocket. Who's was it? They couldn't remember anymore. Their life started to feel like a distant memory. They felt something warm pool around them, and when they looked down they saw blood. It was almost comforting, the way the red stained their uniform. They closed their eyes, gripped their pocketwatch, and wished things could be different. Then they felt their conscious fade, and everything went dark*

-When Lyf woke up they found they somehow went back in time. Not only that, their appearance has changed. Their once white hair had pastel streaks in it, streaks with little stars. And patches of stars twinkled in their skin, their eye color shifted slightly too. They tried not to think too much of it, but it bothered them. Another thing they noticed was a string that had a knot tied on their finger, that wouldn't come off no matter what they did. They also found no one could see it. And it was leading them somewhere, off the planet. So Lyf packed up their stuff and decided to follow it, to whenever it would leave. Maybe this way they could save their planet. After awhile Lyf found the planet it was leading to, and a city it seemed to be leading it. The city appeared to simply be called the city. As they walked around they noticed the string was leading to a bar, it didn't seem particularly interesting but they hoped whoever was behind the door had answers to help save their world. As they walked in, they noticed a familiar face, a face that their string was leading to-

"Von Raum."

Was hoping to wait a bit before reaching out, but this feels a bit more urgent than I thought.

Lyfrassir, can you put the scalpel away and stop trying to kill Marius? He isn’t trying to threaten you, he’s trying to stop you from getting yourself hurt more. If you stab him and run off, given how many injuries you gave, you’ll just need to go on bedrest again, for even longer.

- @lyfrasilly-edda

If he would tell me what I needed to know, then I wouldn't need to threaten him, now would I? Besides, he has a great deal to answer for.

i-- i-- i do, yes i can agree with that but lyf ive been trying to answer for stuff, its not my fault youcant remember the stuff that happened while you were on the meds--

Shut up. Now. I-- If he cooperates, he won't be harmed at all. And he needs to talk, and then shut up. And he needs to let me leave.

[mechsarchives]

hello!

i came across your page and saw you were doing some research in other dimensions? so. hi! my name's brenn edda, and ive been doing research on other dimensions for the last while. so, if you'd like to tell me a bit about your world, i can tell you a bit about mine?

-- @brenneddatsct

Oh! Hello! I'm also looking into other dimensions!

Edda? That's Lyf's last name.

Are you related to a Lyfrassir?

Girls, why don't you answer her so she can answer you?

Oh! Apologies!

There are 14 Fears, Ivy can tell you more about those if your interested. We're all (mostly) human and live on Earth, something that apparently is strange.

Jonny was a cop for a while, he quit when Lyf was taken.

Lyf was also a cop. They uh. They were taken by the Distortion a few weeks ago.

They're not dead.

Ashes runs a podcast and they and Tim run a mafia.

Ivy is the Archivist in the Magnus Institute, Marius, Brian and I are her assistants. Nastya and Aurora also work there, though not in the Archives.

That's what I think is a basic run down?

The others may be better to answer specific conversations.
