I Want To Cook With Them. I Want To Get My Hands Dirty With Flour And Poke Their Nose While We Giggle

I want to cook with them. I want to get my hands dirty with flour and poke their nose while we giggle about how silly we look. I want to hug them from behind while they stir our meal in a pot and and sit together while we eat and praise each other for how well we did on the dish. It's the simple things that makes life with them magical.

Mechs Miscellaneous Headcanons

they’re immortal. they’ve amassed far too much liquor. ashes has decided to make a fun game where they swap half the bottles for rocket fuel and space alchohol is so weird that it’s anyones guess which is which until they die four shots in

100% of the time if anyone says “give me a hand” whoever gets there first pulls a buzz lightyear joke, but it’s someone cutting off their hand on the spot and chucking at them. this never happens around marius cause they don’t want to give him the satisfaction

they have had Aurora tow one moon to another moon to see if they’ll mate and make Moon Babies (this is not the moons that were in love. that gave them the idea)

by doing so they infested both moons with the other moon’s invasive species and threw off their gravity entirely, completely disrupting their ecosystems and forcing the moons to form an entirely new ecosystem, which raphaella insisted meant they technically DID make a moon baby, just on a larger scale than expected

tim has the same relationship to his guns as that one penguin does to his trophies in surf’s up. you know the one i’m talking about.

due to the Mechanisms being semi-narrative powered, they’ve become somewhat superstitious about storytelling. the phrase Once Upon A Time is to the Mechs what Macbeth is to theatre kids: you will get tackled and forced to participate in strange rituals to counteract this. the most common of which is just airlocking

brian’s second pair of eyes are in his hat and that’s why the goggles are stupidly positioned on top of the hat

ivy has used book glue in her tea without noticing. nastya uses cyberian vodka on purpose.

at one point ashes returned to malone, only to learn about what happens when you burn an ecosystem and second growth forests- the planet is teeming with life. in any other story this would be symbolic of rebirth and possibly an emotional turning point. but this is the mechs, so instead there is a LOT of cussing and they burn the planet down again but WORSE- Fire 2 Arson Boogaloo

jonny has spurs cause he’s a cowboy and also Kicking: It’s Like If Your Feet Could Bite

there’s a planet they have sworn never to return to that’s just populated by naked mole rats with machetes. the rats have decapitated several members of the crew. on separate occasions.

using a headmate as target practice is Wonderful stress relief, by the by. highly recommend. - 🎶 (Jonny)

the temptation to drink vanilla extract is Strong- ✨

alters who don’t front often or never front are completely valid and are still real alters

we still perform duties for the system, it’s only from the inside instead of the outside. and even if you don’t perform a “duty” that you deem important you’re still serving one. even if it’s something hyperspecific or strange. even if you don’t know what that duty is.

hosts and protectors and other alters that front often get most of the spotlight, so let’s all remember to be thankful for our system managers, the internal self helpers, and other alters who perform duties almost completely internally as well. :-)

DID is so fun because I don't know if my thoughts and feelings are mine or someone else's or are a mix of mine and someone else's or are because of trauma and have no real reason or someone else is fronting entirely and we don't realize and it's their thoughts and feelings that I'm assuming are mine and I have no idea what I think or feel about anything because I don't know how to tell my actual thoughts and feelings
