Elysian Fields

[ID: A digital painting for Ulysses Dies at Dawn. It focuses on the eye of Ulysses, a black person. Their eye is vivid blue, and instead of a pupil, a tree grows in lush grass that trails down their eye. The second image uses cooler tones, and the sclera is blue, while the third is warmer and has an orange sclera. End ID]

THE MECHANISMS FANDOM SURVEY

Hi hello there! I am running a survey to see what popular headcannons/charactersopinions/just-alot-of-stuff are in the Mechanisms  fandom!

The survey should take between 10-25 minutes, its a bit long, but all questions are skip-able. You’re free to go in as much detail as you wish, or not at all!

The survey will be run from 09/07/2023 to 16/07/2023. The results should  be released a week after the survey ends. (23/07/2023)

The results, and all additional information/updates/questions on the  survey will be in the #mechanismssurvey2023 tag on my blog!

REBLOGS ARE HUGELY APPRECIATED! I rely on them a lot to spread the survey and get more accurate results!

And since Tim’s the hero of this song, you’d expect a heroic ballad to have the title of the person mentioned more than just once, and it is ONCE.

It goes from Tim going ballistic to Jonny introducing him as “Gunpowder Tim” for the first time, talking about all the violent and insane things he did

I can’t place exactly why this makes me feel things but it does?? Like—I fucking love Tim for so many reasons, but this is one of my favorite songs cause there’s just so much for me to think about in it, and that part STICKS with me fr—
