okay how do i get into the mechs ... i would like to know about these robots now i think
GRINS. HI. HELLO.
The Mechanisms are a steampunk space pirate storytelling band!! they are compromised of 9 members (up until one of them left). they retell myths n legends in space, tragic, and queer
they have four main story albums, a single, and two extra albums for extra stories
for the four main albums, you have to listen to all the tracks in order so i recommend listening on youtube
Once Upon A Time (In Space) is their first album. its fairy tales retold as an intergalactic war
Ulysses Dies At Dawn is their second one. this one is greek mythology
High Noon Over Camelot. oh boy high noon over camelot. my favorite mechs album and my favorite album just in general. arthurian legend retold as a space western
The Bifrost Incident. norse myth but eldritch horror
their single is Frankenstein (frankenstein except the monster is an AI), and their other two albums are Tales To Be Told volumes I and II. theyre both collections of extra songs that either work as standalone stories or fit into the same setting as one of the main albums but doesnt follow along the main plotline
they also have Death to the Mechanisms, which was a performance of some of their songs live plus a song of the same name as the album that describes how they died a final time. this was because they split up. no more mechs music </3
out of all of them i recommend hnoc the most. cuz its my favorite <3
i apologize for not explaining the albums further, but you asked about the mechs themselves so im gonna put more focus into explaining those guys
the mechanisms themselves are 9 immortal space pirates. they are immortal due to their mechanisms, mechanical replacements of certain body parts. they travel the galaxy on the starship known as Aurora, who is infact sentient and also dating the ship's engineer. they like to "have fun, violence, adventure, violence. violence." according to jonny
Jonny d'Ville - he/him. he's claims he's the ships captain. hes the first mate. he is the narrator to all of the albums and plays a number of characters. King Cole (ouat(is)), Ulysses (udad), Lancelot (hnoc), Galahad (hnoc), and the void (tbi) are a few. there's more, but theyre more minor. hes pretty shooty and has canonically committed every crime (that existed on a planet) except the sexual ones. his mechanism is his heart!
Gunpowder Tim - he/him. master at arms! hes another one that sings often. he also plays the guitar. a few characters hes been are Oedipus (udad), Gawain (hnoc), and Loki (tbi). his mechanism is his eyes. hes also on the violent side. he blew up the moon, as detailed in the song Gunpowder Tim vs The Moon Kaiser from the ttbt vol 1
Ashes o'Reilly - they/them. quartermaster. they sing often and their voice is beautiful <3 they play bass aswell. some characters theyve played are Hades/themself (udad), Mordred (hnoc), and Sigyn (tbi). their mechanism is their lungs. theyre also a mob boss and arsonist and have been since they were 12 years old, described in their backstory song Lucky Sevens
Drumbot Brian - he/him. pilot. he doesnt sing as often but its great when he does! he plays a few different instruments. a couple of his characters are Merlin/himself (hnoc) and the robot spouse in Stranger (ttbt vol 2). everything except his heart is mechanical. he was thrown into space because he brought someone back to life
The Toy Soldier - it/its. its just there!! it sings often and plays the mandolin. some characters are Cinders (ouat(is)), Orpheus (udad), and Guinevere (hnoc). its a toy soldier. it was never human it just started walking one day
Raphaella la Cognizi - she/her. science officer. she is another singer!! and pianist!! her voice is heavenly tbh. notable roles are Ariadne (udad), Ygraine (hnoc (one song but it Slaps)), and Odin (tbi). her mechanism is a pair of wings!
Marius von Raum - he/him. doctor (not even a doctor). he sings and plays violin. and mandolin the wiki says. Heracles (udad), Arthur (hnoc), Thor (tbi). his mechanism is his right arm
Ivy Alexandria - she/her. archivist. she plays a few wind instruments, no singing. her mechanism is her brain
Nastya Rasputina - she/her. engineer. she is in gay love with the sentient starship <3. she plays violin, no singing. her mechanism is her blood, which is mercury. she decided to go Out (she believed that aurora was no longer the same starship she fell in love with because of all the repairs over the centuries theyve been alive, so she takes the final piece of the original aurora and exits out of the airlock, never to be seen again) sometime after hnoc
and there you are!! them!!
despite me giving some examples to who they play in the albums, thats not all the characters they play. theres also extra characters in narration i didnt mention (ivy and nastya both have been in narration tracks before) and theres also characters they play in the extra songs in the tales to be told volumes
i hope you end up liking them <333 heres a photo of them all together for u
[ID: A group shot of the Mechanisms. End ID]

a lot of people reblogged that spoons poll from me with tags along the lines of "i have adhd but I'm not disabled" and i want everyone to know that adhd is in fact legally recognized as a disability in the usa. you have a disability/are disabled if you have adhd. or autism. or ocd. or depression. or anxiety. etc
these are all disorders. they disrupt our lives and make it harder to navigate the neurotypically-built society we live in just like physically disabled people existing in our able bodied-built society. they are disabling to your every day life and therefore are disabilities.
i say this because disability activism is for all disabilities no matter how invisible or "easily dealt with" because it's not a contest to see how disabled one can be. you're not disbarred from calling yourself disabled because "it could be worse" or "i deal with it well enough" or are "low needs" that doesnt make you NOT disabled!!!
don't sell yourself short and think your disability isnt "bad enough" to call it what it is. you deserve the help, recognition, and protection just like anyone else!
#adhd#autism#disabled#disability activism#spoon theory#i say protection just cuz it is protected under the ada but like. good luck pricing that's why you got fired/didn't get hired#but at least it's THERE. it's legallyrecognized as a disability#i searched 'mental disabilities' and adhd was FIRST lmao

Cove every time he talks about being uncomfortable In social settings/not being able to properly express his feelings because they become too much for him:
Me: I know what you are (autistic)
#our life#olba#misty talks our life#olba cove#cove holden#i feel like not many people in fhe fandom bring up cove's autism which is a real pity considering 90% of his character#it's his autism fjskkskskdjs#like oh yeah the guy has tendecies lf going out without telling people he gets excited when you bring up the ocean and he needs to active#learn how to put himself in social situations#also he takes a very long time to socialize with people and becoming friends with them#i need to make a post about this but drive happiness and charity really display those aspects#cove: yeah im going to google how to make someone happy bc i have no idea how w/o fhe help of the adults in my life#me: oh my god.........

saw a post in the corporate clash tag that caused me to black out and make this
#toontown#corporate clash#ttcc#misty monsoon#rainmaker#misty is not even remotely closed to being a character like vriska but the discourse surrounding her is exactly the same n its crazy#misty is a rly fun character that is done dirty by the uninteresting format of toontasks inherented from toontown online#she has so much potential tbh but we just don't have enough content of her in game to rly matter#as far it is rn she's just a very awkwardly placed plot point cuz you dont rly know how to actually feel about her#barnacle bessie tried to rip her to shreds and its you're almost made to feel bad for misty cuz of it#but like she's still actively involved in a mega corporation trying to take over and pollute bessie's home#how can u blame her for that reaction#basically all im sayin is that misty could be so good but rn she's confined to a singular kinda awkward fight at the end of BB kudos#so maybe in the future she'll be a rly good part of the plotline of clash who knows#idk why i felt the need to rant in the tags sorry my autism

If you're gonna go around talking about how invalid self-diagnosis is and how you should ALWAYS just go to a doctor because they're the experts, consider doing the following instead:
Reminding yourself that no doctor is infallible, and unfortunately there are shitty and VERY misinformed doctors out there
Advocate for the spreading of accurate information about the neurodivergence or illness or disorder or etc.
In that same vein, dispel myths and misconceptions about said Brain And Body Things™
Advocate for easier access to evaluation and diagnosis
Support people who have been medically gaslit in the past and just want to know what's going on with themselves
Support people who have had their life affected by their symptoms (despite not knowing what was causing them) and just want to know what's going on with themselves
Support people who just Feel something Wrong and just want to know what's going on with themselves
Just fucking support people and stop tearing others down because you're white knighting
There are people intentionally making a mockery of things like DID or being autistic, among other things. And there are people who mis-self-diagnose (usually due to research that isn't deep enough) and are fed misinformation which leads to them misrepresenting the disorder.
But there are also people who have the symptoms, looked into the symptoms, found something that matched the symptoms, and maybe FINALLY felt they had an answer when they couldn't find one because they didn't have the means or whatever the reason.
And you're telling them that they're making a mockery of a disorder because they wanted to find a reason. And it's because you associate them with the people on TikTok that you roll your eyes at. And it's fucking annoying.
TL;DR:
Maybe instead of being a dick about self-diagnosis, you could help set a path towards making it so people don't have to in the fucking first place.
(Also, as for my opinion on self-dx, self-dx with a good amount of research from verified accurate sources = A-OK. I'm saying this as a professionally diagnosed person who has had to self-dx in the past. I've been wrong about some things and right about others, and professionals have been right about some and wrong about others. But it helped to set me down the right path. I wouldn't be where I am if I hadn't.)

better alternatives to purchasing from devilinspired
after seeing the 40,000th video of lolitas ordering from sites like devilinspired and my-lolita-dress and seething/coping/fuming/etc, i’ve decided to make a post giving resources for better alternatives if you want to purchase from brands on taobao and receive better pricing and customer service while doing so!
“but why are devilinspired/my-lolita-dress bad?”
they’re not necessarily evil sites that need to be boycotted per se, but they don’t exactly have a high standard for quality control (including selling design and print replicas), price gouge pretty badly, and have had less than stellar customer service, so i thought it would be better to give people resources for smarter purchasing!
here's a 2018 breakdown comparing the prices between the shopping service 42agent and buying through taobao directly
here's a tutorial on how to navigate and purchase from taobao directly without the use of a shopping service/agent
and here is a link to 42agent’s lolita vendor site, 42lolita, which has consistently better brand quality control, lower pricing, and better customer service than DI or MLD
i’ve also crossposted this info to twitter via a thread :)
#note#sweet lolita#egl fashion#egl community#lolita fashion#since i saw l*velylor shilling my-lolita-dress even after actively complaining about their customer service i got a little autism mad#so i thought it would be good to turn that autism anger into something productive LMFAO#i dont want people accidentally buying replicas from MLD or waiting forever for devilinspired products that will never arrive#and then having to wait an additional few months for a refund#anyway i hope this helps someone LOL#feel free to ask any questions if you need any

Very specific one but someone drew Husk Minos and Sisyphus with their prime soul forms as Jojo stands— could I perhaps request Icarus doing a similar pose with his husk and prime soul forms?

hi, i'm 14 years old and autistic. my mother has me playing sports outside of school. i play basketball and i like it. i play softball and i don't like it. my softball coach often gets frustrated with me because my eyes wander when he's talking to me or the team. the same thing happens with my math teacher. he sometimes calls me out in front of the whole class for not making eye contact with him when he's speaking. i don't know how to tell them that it's hard for me. do you have any suggestions? thank you.
Firstly I want to say that any teachers calling you out in front of everyone for not making eye contact are being assholes and abusing their authority. If they have a problem they should address it with you privately. It's not like you're being disruptive.
Do they know you're autistic? In an ideal world, making them aware of that would be enough to get them to understand, but obviously that's not the case in a lot of places. Letting them know before or after a session or through an email (so you don't have to say it in front of everyone) might help, especially if your mother can be there to back you up/sign the email. If it doesn't, you might be able to take it higher up to their managers or the school, because at that point they're being discriminatory against someone with a disability. If you're not comfortable sharing that you're autistic, just saying you have trouble making eye contact but you are still listening might be enough.
Also, if you don't like playing softball it's OK to quit. I know parents don't always give us much choice, but you shouldn't have to continue if you don't like it. You already have basketball so it's not like you'd be quitting all sports/extracurriculars. If your mum needs convincing it might help to tell her you need more time to spend on your homework, or you'd like to try out a different activity. (You don't actually have to spend that time doing homework. It's OK to just relax sometimes.)
I hope this helps and you start having a better time soon!
#ask#anon ask#eye contact#advice#actually autistic#autism#neurodivergent#its a spectrum#it's ok to quit stuff you don't like#it can be exhausting doing extracurricular activities while also going to school#i wish there was less pressure put on school kids to always be doing something#people need time to chill as well

ARE WE. WE ARE AT A SUPPORTED LIVING ACCOMMODATION WHERE I HAVE BEEN PLACED#BY MY LOCAL AUTHORITY WHO ARE PAYING TWENTY THREE GRAND A YEAR#AND I AM PAYING FIVE HUNDRED A MONTH#IN ORDER TO RECIEVE SUPPORT FOR MY DISABILITIES. A BIG ONE BEING MY FUCKING AUTISM.#YOU KNOW. THE ONE WHICH IS BEING DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE BEHAVIOUR OF ANOTHER TENANT.#WHEN I AM BEING PUSHED TO MY LIMIT ALREADY. LIKE IDK FEELS KINDA CRAZY THAT THIS ISNT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE SORTED.#i fucking hate men there is just literally no fucking respect or consideration like its genuinely disgusting and so fucking infuriating#and like he says that staff (women. btw) are being too naggy about it. but never fucking stops to consider that maybe.#maybe people wouldnt have to ‘nag’ you about it IF YOU JUST. DIDNT DO THE THING THAT IS ACTIVELY CAUSING OTHER PEOPLE STRESS.#IDK FUCKING WILD IDEA JUST THOUGHT OF IT.#literally die i want everyone involved to die like I CANNOT DO THISSSSSSSSSSSS

since you call your WOF dragons “horses,” what species or breed of equines do you think your OCs would be? :D
oh i LOVE this question
Haunted is easy - classic Friesian, she's big and dark and her human-sona has curly hair. also i think their feathers would suit her
Fennec would probably be an Appaloosa on account of the freckles, with palomino + leopard colouration
Mako would be a grullo Bashkir Curly solely because i think that would be funny (or maybe a Fjord cuz he's stocky and short)
Wolf would be a flea-bitten Andalusian cuz i love their noses and i think it suits him
Red would be a chestnut Thoroughbred - tall and red and fast
#thank you for activating my latent horse autism anon#though im no expert on horse morphology terms#bog talks#horst

is it an autistic experience to ALWAYS be the one in a friend group who gets left out, alienated, secretly disliked, then kicked out of the group?
#autistic#autism#actually autistic#autism things#asking autistics#i want/need a friend group but it ALWAYS GOES BAD!!!!!!!! AND ITS SOMEHOW ALWAYS MY FAULT?! idk what im doing wrong. people suck.#but i need people and i hate that about me. why cant i split myself in half a few times#or learn how to do group activities alone....like playing tennis. going to the amusement park ive wanred to go to since i was a kid.#drive alone on long trips where i will fall asleep but talk to myself so i dont or something. walk on the park trails alone where people#get kidnapped and stuff when alone. go to a convention and cosplay a group of characters alone. one for each finger....#if you cant tell im being sarcastic. and doing a bad job. sighs. i hate that i have to do everything i need/want a group for alone because#i cant make friends or make groups keep me in them. assuming because im autistic and they hate me 🙃#eother that or im a piece of shit and dont realize it!!!!! how am i supposed to know when no one tells me!!!! 😭😭😭😭#so is it actually me and my fault or is it because im autistic and people just do this to us for some reason#autism stuff

once told somebody that I don’t think I could ever live on my own because of my autism and they said “don’t say that! I bet you could do it!” like. no I’m telling you I am not the kind of autistic person that can live alone. I will forget to feed myself and drink water and my space would constantly be a disaster and I wouldn’t go around people hardly ever and I’d forget basic hygiene.
I’m so lucky to have a partner who helps me with self care like this through assistance and reminders because otherwise I’d be totally fucked.
#‘you should just know you need to do these things’#I know. I know they need done.#but my disability makes it difficult for me to do these things bc I get distracted or forget or don’t want to transition activities#I wish we didn’t demonize needing help from others#for the longest time I felt guilty about needing so much assistance from my partner to succeed in day to day functions#but I’m disabled. and he helps me when it causes me difficulty. I hate this idea that we have to be fully capable of doing everything#and if we struggle with anything or rely on anyone else for help we’re bad people or manipulative partners or something#needing help isn’t a crime.#autism#actually autistic adult#actually autistic#autistic adult#ASD#autism spectrum disorder

me as a kid: i have all these problems
every adult around me: you're not old enough to know what's wrong with you, you're fine
me as an adult: i still have all these problems
my doctors after i finally got the opportunity to choose them myself: oh my fucking god why have you never gotten help for all these problems. you should have seen me 10 years ago
#problems i have finally gotten help for that i was told i was not old enough to know about:#AMPS (was told it was anxiety and then when i kept coming back they said it was fibro Quite Literally just to get me to shut up)#(like the doc i just saw literally said 'they diagnose fibromyalgia here when they dont know what the problem is but dont feel like testing)#multiple food allergies (was also told the stomach pain and vomiting was anxiety)#seborrheic dermatitis (i was told 'youre just stressed thats why you have a rash')#(which- if im so stressed my skin is literally dying MAYBE I STILL NEED HELP?????????)#autism and adhd (my father knew! but refused to get me assessed bc if i dont have a diagnosis theres no problem right :)#anxiety disorder (oh so when I'm in pain i DO have anxiety but when i say i have anxiety I'm overreacting okay)#dyscalculia and possibly dyslexia ('you just need to try harder' I've asked for a tutor five times)#some of my doctors don't actually believe me about some of these problems BECAUSE i have no records from when i was a kid#they're like 'it just popped up at 18? seems suspicious......' like I WASN'T ALLOWED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR'S UNTIL THEN#there's definitely more but I'm still mad abt it#i might not be in a wheelchair Almost All The Time if i had gotten help BEFORE i lost half the feeling in my legs#i KNEW the fibro was a BS diagnosis#i tried to get assessed for autism at 16 and was told i have schizotypal personality disorder instead with literally zero testing#like my psych just refused to allow me to get tested for autism she was like 'no you have spd i Just Know'#same psych that said there was zero way i had anything like DID because my symptoms didn't present Exactly like the Only other#patient at the clinic with DID. i want to note that that was a 14 year old boy still being actively abused#and i was a 20 year old who was in a safe environment and had distanced myself from my abusers and stressors

you should tell me about video games :]
VIDEO GAMES video games i love video games 🥰🥰🥰 so the other day i was watching a video on super mario bros 2u (as in the us version) (the whole doki doki panic reskin business) (and not 2j) (the japanese mario 2) (aka the lost levels) (which werent released in the west until mario all stars) (anyway) all levels world record and i did NOT realize just how broken that game is. i mean it makes total sense it's a retro mario game lol but still it was wilddd i already knew about the massive 7-2 clip which is still really funny to me somehow but i learned a bunch of new things like how the rockets that pop up occasionally operate on FRAMERULES which means BUS TIME i love when imagine a bus works its way into completely different runs but anyway. like. the whole frame perfect item pickup with the. potion world place (i forgot what it's called) was super cool and using it to get several hits on birdo at once is genius??? and that level where he bounced the mushroom block off of the egg and also peach i love that. ya generally the movement was SO impressive especially the digging and ladder jumps very satisfying to watch. also shoutouts to the one (1) level he plays as mario. blue toad (and incidental luigi) supremacy 🫡
logically the next game to tackle is mario 3 and i have watched a few isofrieze videos on various aspects of it (retro game mechanics explained my beloved im too stupid to stay on the drift but by god can i catch it) (literally the only incentive for me to get into cs is for glitch hunting purposes that sounds so fun) (agh i should look into tasing tools sometime!!! tasing is sooo cool) but the speedrunning part scares me for some reason maybe bc it's pretty popular. but its ok i can just wait for the kosmic video if he does one im assuming he'll do one. or maybe bismuth has one i should check actually but i cant think of bismuth without feeling compelled to rewatch the entire 5 hour sm64 abc video help me
#it occurs to me as i type these tags that a lot of what i mentioned is Not common knowledge#i am always happy to elaborate of course 👁️👁️#i was gonna go to sleep but i saw this ask and it activated mega autism but im still tired so some specifics are evading me rip#ANYWAY ichor. my beloved friend ichor. did you know i love you forever and you have my sworn services until the end of time#idk what sort of services youd want from me but you will have them!!#my asks#heheoheohoheehehohehehhehehoheeohohehoohehhehohehohohehohee#vidyo gaim........
