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

[brookreader]

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.

my beautiful girlfriend the starship aurora!! she has teeth and flesh and veins btw!! for mechanisms women's week day 4 time/space. this is because she is a woman and i like her a Normal amount

@mechanismswomensweek

[ID: A digital artwork of the starship Aurora from the Mechanisms in a style reminiscent of a construction paper craft, with paper texture and shadows to show the various "layers" of the piece. The Aurora is going upwards diagonally from the bottom right to the top left. Her grey-pink solar sail, which looks like a parachute, is extended to the top left of the image, and there is a muted smoke/fire trail coming from the bottom of the ship leading into the bottom right. The Aurora is a purple-red ship with three darker fins visible along her bottom, and light purple windows on her main body. The O'Neil ring circles her, with six separate light pink spheres representing the rooms located there. The background is dark purple and spotted with stars. End ID]

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

Mechtober day 11 - robots/ai

Mechtober 2024 Day 27: Space

Need to get back into pixel art,,, it’s fun :)

[secretlyhuntokar]

Nonbinary in a cryptid!Jon way and a Juno Steel way and a 13th Doctor in 12s clothes way and a The Entire Mechanisms Ensemble (including Carmilla and The Aurora) way

(But also in a Huntokar way and a blinking red light at night way and a orange streetlamp where the rest have been replaced with white LEDs way and a night sky without light pollution way and a thin layer of fog clinging to the grass and ferns of a forest as the sun rises into a rainy autumn day way)

[rocksanddeadflowers]

Once again thinking about that dream I had where the mechs lose the Aurora and have to travel in a rickety little ship across the cosmos in search of her... I don't remember anything about the dream except knowing that's what was going on. But I just think I'd be an immaculate fanfic.

(Also as a bonus idea if you like adding Lyfrassir to everything mechs (me I do that): what if they happen to be stranded on the same planet Lyfrassir has been hiding out on post Bifrost and enlist/beg for their help in finding the Aurora (to which they begrudgingly agree, probably hobbit style bc the hobbit is what inspired this idea). Also in this timeline we shall pretend Nastya came back from Out or while Aurora is out without the mechs she somehow finds and reconnects and Nastya? Idk but we're not having this fic without Nastya.)

[mechsconfessions]

CANON smut no less

And I wish I could tell you, but I haven’t read it. I’m sure someone here can but that someone is not me
