[ID: two photos, the first of Jessica Law, Rachel L. Hughes, and Kofi Young, taken from the music video for The Mermaid���s Revenge; the second of Frank Voss and Kofi Young, performing as Ashes O’Reilly and Marius von Raum, respectively.

Photo One:

Jessica stands on the right side of the frame. She has light skin and chest length, brown, wavy hair, with the ends dyed green. She wears a black top and green eyeshadow and lipstick. She has a blank look on her face. She is only visible from the chest up. She is playing the Behind her on the left side of the frame Kofi and Rachel stand.

Rachel has light skin and waist length, wavy, blonde hair; she is wearing a robin’s egg blue dress with puffy short sleeves; she is smiling.

Kofi has light brown skin and very short dark brown hair and facial hair; they wear a white, long sleeve, collared shirt under a black (possibly velveteen) coat with dark grey trousers; their face is not seen enough to determine an expression. Kofi and Rachel are holding each other and look like they are about to kiss.

They are standing in a field of yellow flowers, surrounded by dark green trees, with a blue sky in the background. The whole photo has a blue tint to it.

Photo Two: Frank stands on the right side of the frame, playing their bass and looking toward Kofi and Kofi stands on the left, playing their mandolin and sceaming into a mic on a stand in front of them. Both are side to the viewer, facing toward the viewer’s left. They are lit from the front with yellow light and from the back with red.

Frank has light brown skin and shoulder length, straightened brown hair with four cornrows pulling back the left side of their hair. They wear dark makeup around their eyes and an earring in their visible ear. They wear a light blue-grey button-up shirt with a light grey tie under a black waistcoat with gold buttons and a chain and black jeans. The have a black bracelet on their left wrist and a brown one on their right, with a ring on their right ring finger. The body and head of their bass is metalic blue and the neck is a light wood color; a black strap supports it.

Kofi has light brown skin, short curly hair, and short facial hair. Their mouth is open very wide. They wear a white, collared shirt under a red waistcoat and a blue coat. They wear a red neckerchief and something gold hangs from their coat. Their trousers are grey. On their right arm they wear a red sleeve and on their hand they wear a fingerless glove with metal on the back. The front and head of their mandolin is an orange wood color while the sides are black; a black strap supports it.

There is a mic on a stand in front of Frank and between them and Kofi, but Frank is stepped away from it. The background is mostly back but there is a large red rectangle near Kofi’s head.

Sirens (Ulysses Dies At Dawn)

Edinburgh Fringe, 2013

[alientoastt]

hey are you a mechanisms enjoyer or perhaps a fan of the new albion tetralogy

have you ever wanted to hear R L Hughes' full vocal range as she plays two characters often in the same song as one another? Tim Ledsam as a morally repugnant but slightly sexy priest? an exploration of religious guilt around sex and where a sex worker gets a happy ending that doesn't involve no longer having sex? heavy fucking themes and jazzy instrumentals? you should listen to Lolina: Origins.

With a mish-mash of jazz, rock, classical and electronic music this concept EP tells the story of our heroine Lolina as she is taken from the brothels of dystopian Mars to the wastelands of post-apocalyptic Earth and beyond...

Vocals Lolina and Mariella: Rachel Hughes The Patriarch: Tim Ledsam OrganaTech Doctor: Jessica Law Backing Vocals: Jessica Law, Ben Below, Rachel Hughes Spoken Vocals: Tim Ledsam, Ben Below, Rachel Hughes

Instruments Piano and E-Piano: Rachel Hughes Violin and Electric Violin: Marius von Raum [sic.; released in 2017 and Kofi Young was credited as MvR until... I want to say 2020?] Fretless Bass, Electric Guitars, Banjo, Saxophone, Ewi, Electric Drums, Synths: Ben Below

content warnings under the cut this album is a lot. but its very good

religious guilt / extremism / kidnapping / forced conversion yeah quite a lot of it is about the whole uh. this congregation treats its women like shit and especially Lolina. I think it's handled well and there's an added layer of removal in the fact that it's like. on Mars. if that helps

a character kills herself because she realizes she has feelings for another woman and has been made to feel unclean for this. this is pretty much entirely contained in "Mariella's Lament", but is like. pretty integral to the story at play

hospital noises in Hospital Bed + medical malpractice. which isn't quite the right word for the deal with healthcare in this album but it's the best i can do without just Describing What Happens In The Album. general cyberpunk "you don't own parts of your body" type medical malpractice?

[majorshatterandhare]

[ID: a photo and GIF featuring Gunpowder Tim (Tim Ledsam) playing violin.

The photo is taken by someone sitting at a drum set, both Kofi Young and Tim are visible and Kofi is teaching Tim to play the violin. Kofi is on the left of the image and Tim is on the right. Past them, across from the drum set, Rachel Hughes is sitting at a desk with a keyboard atop it. The head of someone with dark hair and light skin is visible; it appears they are sitting on the floor between Kofi and the drum set. Kofi has mid-tone skin and short, shaggy, curly, dark hair. They wear glasses and a white button up shirt tucked into olive pants with black suspenders. Tim has light skin, long, wavy, brown hair, and his face is mostly obscured by his violin and bow. He is wearing a dark green velveteen coat and dark pants. Rachel is turned somewhat to the right, speaking and gesticulating with her right hand. She has light skin and very long blonde hair. Her legs cannot be seen, as she is sitting in a wooden chair facing away from the viewer, but she seems to also be wearing a velveteen coat, although hers is burgundy in color. The room this practice is taking place in has light blue walls, with a wide white stripe at the top. The ceiling and trim are white. The desk which Rachel sits at is in a bay window with light colored shades pulled to various heights and dark blue curtains pulled to the side. The desk also has a monitor and possibly some other tech stuff on and around it, including what looks like a mic stand. The light coming in these windows creates a bit of glare but it doesn’t interfere with any of the people visible. Behind and to the left of Kofi a dark wooden wardrobe can be seen with something unidentifiable atop it. The walls behind Tim displays posters of the Mechanisms, including portraits and wanted signs. Behind and to the right of Tim there is a soft surface, possibly a bed, which is covered in a blue blanket and has a white blanket or pillow crumpled atop it. The head and top of the body of a larger stringed instrument (probably a guitar) is laying on the bed. There a black plastic bin behind Tim near the desk. One drum from the set can barely be seen, it has a black head, and two high hats are visible, one of which has the word “Paiste” printed on it followed by the numbers 1, 0, 1.

The GIF shows Tim, dressed in his Gunpowder costume, playing the violin on stage. He is mostly centered in the frame, but it shirts a bit as the GIF progresses. Behind and to the left of Tim, Ben Below, in his Drumbot Brian costume, can be seen playing the drums. Further to the left, the head of Frank's five string bass begins in frame and moves to be mostly out of frame. It appears that there may be a person behind Tim to the right, however it is so poorly lit there that if it is a person it is very difficult to tell who and what they are doing aside from possibly moving an arm. Tim's costume consists of dark brown pants, a brown vest, a white long sleeve shirt and a long brown coat. He wears at least two belts which pass over the coat and likely have a gun tucked in the (viewer's) right side which is darkened in the GIF. He wears welding goggles on top of his head and looks at his left hand while he plays. Ben also has long, wavy hair of a reddish color and facial hair. His costume includes dark pants, a white button up shirt, a dark vest, and a top hat which is decorated with welding goggles and a rose. The background is very dark, but the ceiling is white. The lighting is reflecting mostly green on the five string instrument, Ben and his drums, and the top of Tim. The bottom of Tim is lit more in purple, while the parts of Ben which are behind something else and the mysterious probable-person are lit in an orange-red color.

December 2024 Reading Wrap-Up

I've read eight books this month, and most were entirely neutral to good for me...with one exception. That means that my grand total of books for 2024 was 103, though I only enjoyed somewhere around 30 of them. Anyway, here's the December list:

Religious Text

None applicable.

1/10 - Why Did They Publish This?

Egregores: The Occult Entities That Watch Over Human Destiny | Mark Stavish

Just gonna link this...

2/10 - Trash

None applicable.

3/10 - Meh

None applicable.

4 to 6/10 - Mid-Tier

Seventy-Eight Degrees Of Wisdom: A Tarot Journey To Self-Awareness | Rachel Pollack

I respect what this book has historically done for tarot and tarot reading, but as a standalone book outside of that context, I didn't...enjoy it.

7 to 8/10 - Good With Caveats

Scorpions Of Medical Importance | Hugh L Keegan

A very fascinating book on scorpions from 1980. Despite this, not every scorpion depicted here is deadly. What I thought was most fascinating was the fact that it called the deathstalker (Leiurus quinquestriatus) the only species in Leiurus...because 18 out of 19 of the other ones were only discovered after the book was published. It is pretty outdated as far as listed places with antivenins goes, though.

Scorpions: Plus Other Popular Invertebrates | Jerry G Walls

A decent book on caring for scorpions, considering it goes really in-depth despite only having 88 pages. I did skip over the appendices at the back about other invertebrates though, because while I'm not scared of scorpions, I'm scared of many of the other bugs and arachnids in the back. No thank you.

Garfield Fat Cat 3-Pack, volume 25 | Jim Davis

I picked this one on a whim from the library I work at because I love Garfield comics. Fuck you. The caveat I have for this one is that if you don't enjoy reading 286 pages of mostly-three-panel-comics, it won't be enjoyable. I had fun though.

9/10 - Very Very Good

The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art Of Decluttering And Organizing | Marie Kondo

I actually found this book surprisingly helpful??? Which was irritating to me, because I'm always surprised when popular things are actually...good. Though Marie Kondo's theory doesn't work for everyone since it's very focused on how you feel, and if you're struggling to feel anything for any reason, it's not gonna help much. I do think it's very funny that she outright encourages you to send her book away if it doesn't spark joy either. Incredible.

Michelangelo: Paintings, Sculptures, Architecture | Ludwig Goldscheider

This is a series of photographs of many, many of Michelangelo's works, and the quality of the photos are gorgeous. I found this on the free table of the library I work at and enjoyed flipping through and admiring the details.

Destroy All Humans. They Can’t Be Regenerated, volume 1 | Katsura Ise, Takuma Yokota

Yes, yes, this is a new printing of an old Magic: The Gathering manga about players playing the game. I didn't expect the prophecies of Nostradamus to be a major plot point. And I fucking loved it.

10/10 - Unironically Recommend To Everyone

None applicable.

[yourlocalmechanism-dr-carmilla]

THE WINGS ARE DONE!!! they need 4 belts to stay in place but i can atleast put them into "travel mode"
