Merry Christmas! I've done it again! More of me as LoadingReadyRun's character known as Dave's Spokesman, reading aloud @vexwerewolf's LANCER memes. As fitting for the start of this meme, I have decided to deliver the pegasus:

This time I have also delivered some additional editing! I hope you all enjoy! If not, there is probably a receipt somewhere.

rebel who's had her fingers stuck in the mouth of the mech pilot she's captured for hours, because the hound is conditioned to bite down on the cyanide capsule in its tooth but not on a handler. so now it's just mumbling softly around the impromptu gag, while they both wait for someone to come sedate it.

cuddle the mech pilot you adopted. no, really snuggle her. don’t let her sleep at the foot of your bed. she thinks she doesn’t deserve to curl up with you like a person and will sleep down there huddled up like a dog if you let her. don’t let her. tell her gently but firmly that you want to touch her and that she’s going to get under the blankets with you and you’re going to spoon her

she might cry a bit. pilots aren’t used to that kind of affection. just wipe her tears and tell her you love her and it’s ok for her to cry. and then fall asleep together

Thinking more about Mech dysphoria today.

Stepping out of your cockpit and stumbling because you don't have the right number of legs.

Blinking your eyes out of sync because you don't have the right number anymore, don't have access to on board cameras the way you're supposed to.

Struggling to grab and pick things up because you have the wrong number of fingers.

Failing to recognize your face in the mirror without layers of armor plating over it.

Feeling like a brain pulled from its body and forced to function independently.

Every* Type of Mecha

*Not Actually Every Type.

Something I spent WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much time on lol. This is entirely just riffing off of the many 'kinds' or 'tropes' in mecha design I found. Feel free to suggest more of them.

Might make a document providing examples for each one, but idk. I think most of these are pretty self-explanatory.

Tell me your favourites below

[Update: Here's the sequel to this chart, cataloguing Kaiju instead!]

Pranking the machine (GONE WRONG)

never forget, o knight | print

[valtsv]

there really is nothing else like the fusion of meat and machine body horror. radio static but wet and fleshy. wires that resemble veins and veins that resemble wires. bodies as impulses and organs animating the mechanical megastructure like braided nerves. the abject wrongness and grotesque allure of the fusion of person and object, self and other. and needless to say this is sex to me.
