Nastya in a tank top covered in machine oil and maybe sweat please and thank you

gay people in my tumblr inbox

ID: A digital drawing of Nastya Rasputina from The Mechanisms leaning in an engine room, exhausted, wiping sweat and machine oil from her forehead. Nastya is a toned blueish-grey skinned woman with very visible dark veins, and short brown hair dyed blue at the tips. She wears crooked glasses, a tank top, and baggy brown cargo pants, all smudged with oil or stained with sweat. In the hand that hangs by her side, Nastya holds a rag covered with oil. The drawing is colored mostly in shades of blue, save for the browns in Nastya’s hair and pants. She’s lit by a bright cyan light coming from an unknown source off to the side. End ID.

Jon with a sword is giving me life right now, I'm so glad I stumbled upon this image again–

I honestly love Jon's sword and the event it relates to.

plus if Martin is allowed to have a big gun then Jon is allowed to have a sword.

[digitalsymbiote]

(in reference to your robots getting shot and pilots replicating scars post you made a while ago:) Dare I ask what the esoteric ones do when a mech is written off/deemed "beyond repair?"

It's already rare for a pilot to actually survive their Mech taking enough damage to be fully taken out of commission. Even if they do, the neural feedback from sustaining that kind of damage often leaves pilots with severe nerve damage that will see them retired from active duty.

So there have only been a handful of cases where a pilot both survives their Mech being totaled, and remains fit for active duty afterwards. Of these few cases, only one has been documented to have marked their Mech's passage in this way.

Agate Petrakov (R.o.M. Pilot ID HK4961) lost her Mech to combined enemy fire during the Jovian conflict, and managed to survive in the crumpled remains of her cockpit until her squad could extract her.

To commemorate the passing of her Mech, and it's onboard IMP, Petrakov enlisted the help of her squadmates for a ritual where she branded the neural patterns of her Mech's interface module into her skin, leaving intricate patterns burned into the flesh all over her body.

In addition, she had the remains of her IMPs processing core melted down and forged into a new socketing ring for her primary interface port. Rumors report that she was able to hear the ghost of her original IMP whispering across the link for the rest of her career.

0.8 blood alcohol and drunk driving the battle mech to the rainforest cafe to steal the gorilla

im interpreting this as a pilot post bc its funny as shit that way. girl you cannot go to rainforest cafe you have war to fight in. you and your pilot friend cannot split beef lava nachos for two, you have harrowing fiction that explores what it means to be human tomorrow

[shitty-mechs-headcannons]

All the Mechanisms share the last name Mechanism

true and correct!

Omw to look at all your TMA posts 🫶

Also, quick question, I've tried searching it up, still a bit confused, what is The Mechanics? They're a band in space??

"Killers and renegades, liars and thieves. Welcome! They are The Mechanisms, the crew of the starship Aurora. Roving through the galaxy, having fun, violence, adventure, violence, violence."

So, yes the Mechanisms are a band of (mostly)immortal space pirates roaming through both time and space(they are not bound by linear time(how fun!)) looking for tales to tell and violence to be had! And making musical albums of all the most interesting tragedies they've seen!!!

You can find their albums anywhere you listen to music. Their albums include, 'Once Upon a Time in Space' a story revolving Grimms fairytale characters set in a tale of a galaxy wide civil war/revolt, 'Ulysses Dies at Dawn' a cyberpunk mafia story revolving around Greek mythology, 'High Noon Over Camelot' a western tale about the Arthurian tales and the holy Grail and a massive satellite slowly falling into the sun and 'The Bifrost Incident' a mystery about the destruction of a train through the stars involving Norse mythology. There are also the 'Tales to be Told' albums that have standalone single story songs set in the same universe.

And if you(like me) want more of Jonny's and the rest of the crews storytelling you can check out some short stories relating to the universe of the mechanisms on their website here! Including how Jonny obtained their starship the Aurora, or Cinders backstory, or the only fiction we have on the scraped project pertaining to Dorian Grey!

I hope this answers your questions, intrigues you to discover more and take the deep dive into such a unique and interesting form of storytelling.

Because... The book is lying open. There are tales to be told.
