#the Starship Aurora

[drcarmillasbiggestdefender]

I had a vision

[other-mechs-hcs]

I think it would be funny if Nastya had NO idea how to be an engineer and Aurora had to walk her through the steps of repairing shit

I also think it'd be funny because Carmilla just going like "okay 17 year old girl with no life experience, here's a tool belt and a book, you're the engineer now, good luck"

[deviousevilton]

ugh I originally accidentally posted this to a community completely unrelated to the mechs 😭😭😭

Let me die rn 😔 /hj

anyways. Uh

[engineeroftheaurora]

I'm getting MARRIED

Love you Aurora

[auroras-cries]

I just trapped drunk Jonny in the supply closet and he's yelling about how how I'll rue the day

It's so funny

Fun fact I’m the creator of the infamous father Jonathan’s meme, however did yall know there were others

Scuzz headcanons!

Older than the other Mechanisms, but younger than Carmilla and Aurora (as much as anybody can be younger than anybody else when you move every which way through time).

Either she’s a sort of prototype-Mechanism or Carmilla made her immortal via a different method that she abandoned in favor of mechanization. Either way Nastya sometimes refers to her as The Prototype (derogatory).

If they do have a mechanism, it’s their left leg. If not, that leg is still a prosthetic.

Her wounds generally take longer to heal than other Mechs, she also scars easier and for longer.

Very small, like 4’10”.

Cat-like shoulder and collarbones let them slip into tiny spaces.

They have a tapetum lucidum, so their eyes do the glow-in-the-dark thing.

Far better reflexes and hearing than ye average earth human, slightly better sense of smell.

Slightly sharper canine teeth.

Barely-noticeable pads on hands and feet (or at least the flesh foot) that soften her steps.

Considers the other Mechanisms their siblings, or at least family.

Loyal to a fault. The “to a fault” part is mostly in relation to Carmilla — she steadfastly refuses to accept or care when her mother is in the wrong, even when Carmilla herself admits it.

^Though eventually I like to think do grow out of that. They remain extremely close to/fond of Carmilla though.

Gets along very well with the octokittens. They have accepted her as one of their own.

Little shit. Takes great joy in fucking with the crew (lovingly!).

Knows how to use a gun (learned from Jonny, she in turn taught him to fight with a knife), but dislikes doing so.

Doesn’t actually like performing. Only ever did it because they knew Carmilla wanted them to. They do like playing cello by themself, though.

Habit of napping in weird places including but not limited to in the vents, on bookshelves, underneath beds, and among the dangerous machinery in the lab.

Avoids talking to people who aren’t Her people. Kind of (very) socially awkward.

Has a surprisingly strong protective streak for someone whose loved ones are all immortal.

Left the Mechanisms to stay with Carmilla.

Mechtober Day 25: (No) Happy Endings

I was gonna say ‘In just under the wire 😤😤’ but it’s actually the 26th for me now so I’m late

[secretlyhuntokar]

Ever since Nastya Rasputina I have really understood the Doctor/TARDIS shippers

[mechsconfessions]

not gonna use anon cause i ain’t a coward (/lie) but oh my gods man

the mechs fandom pisses me offffff sometimes with specific things that they just declare as canon anyways here’s a list

1. JonnyNas siblings,, yk i love me a good fiction where they are siblings yes, it’s so good i love them, however it’s also weird? they aren’t canonically siblings the only thing that could hint at them being “siblings” is them both being Carmilla’s “children”. it’s just so frustrating to see people like insistent that writing stuff with them is “incest” and “proshipping”

2. Nastya is monogamous and only with Aurora??? idk where they got this idea, but the amount of fictions with the tag “polymechs besides nastya and TS” is ridiculous, Nastya canonically has orgies with Rora. I think the only canon thing about her is that she doesn’t like normal humans, like she Loves machine (og robot fucker)

3. TS doesn’t fuck? yes it does. it canonically does shut up (this comes off rude, but like cmon guys let TS have some fun even if it doesn’t fuck let it at least date)

4. Jonny can’t read. this is a smaller thing for some but it mostly has to do with him being from “New Texas” idk if it comes from the idea of “texans are stupid” or “he describes new texas to be AWFUL” but cmon yalllll make it interesting make it be like he can’t read common or something cause new texas speaks splanguage

5. Lyfrassir is a goody two shoes cop. i have no idea where yall get this idea but listen to black box or literally the entire bifrost incident, lyf spends like. 15 seconds hating on asgard and the higher ups, and also is drunk for the last songs? would a goody two shoes do that?

6. All of Lyfrassir Edda actually, no i won’t elaborate

anyways that’s all

Nodding furiously and taking notes

[drcarmillasbiggestdefender]

People always forget nastya is cannonically non-monogamous

[ss from the fiction 'breakup']

[other-mechs-hcs]

Whenever Nastya can't sleep, the Aurora will rock her until she falls asleep. Unfortunately for the rest of the crew, this means that they're being tossed back and forth for at least an hour <3

Awww

[bigmilkymantatas]

I can push a Brian and Aurora agenda because there's no way you're piloting a sentient starship and you guys don't sr least whisper sweet nothings to each other

[engineeroftheaurora]

Taking Brian, Ashes, and Aurora at the same time wish me luck

[auroras-cries]

Locked @captain-dville in the closet again except this time he's sober let's see how long he lasts
