pssst mechs fans… come get y’all juice
Guys guys guys
I found The Mechanisms at work today
Get it? Get it? Because they’re all ga—
No no no cause I was listening to “Gunpowder Tim vs. The Moon Kaiser” again and I noticed something
When Jonny talks about Tim in the song, all times except for ONCE he only refers to him as “Tim”, not “Gunpowder Tim” (again, save for that one time—which I’m gonna get to). 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.
Not even in the end when Tim blows up the moon does he call him his “title”, he only says it once—and it’s at the beginning of that solemn section after the verse where Tim loses it.
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—
I’m gonna do all the albums but since I’ve been listening to what I consider to be my favorite on repeat all day I’ll start here by asking,
What’s the Best Song (in your opinion) from “Ulysses Dies At Dawn”?
I started with Ulysses Dies At Dawn so now I must do the others,
“Once Upon A Time (In Space)” ‘s turn!
Up next,
“High Noon Over Camelot” Time!!!
Killers and Renegades, Lairs and Thieves, it’s time for
“The Bifrost Incident” !!!
(Sorry I was gone for a bit, shit’s been nuts, sunburns happen, and so does work—)
Cackling over
Lyf: I…hate…them—
Marius: gOOOOD MORNING—! :D
Moving on, time for,
“Tales To Be Told Vol. One” !!!
Second to last poll of this manner, it’s
“Tales To Be Told Vol. 2” ‘s turn!!
Bonus round before I polish it off with pain,
Alright punks and rebels, listen up,
FINALLY gettin’ this one out, punks and rebels:
It’s time for… DEATH TO THE MECHANISMS (sobbing) (took me forever to think of how to format this for some reason)
This album had me sobbing, please and thank you —
FINALLY IN TIME FOR FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR TRAIN FRIDAY!!!
Marius looks like he’s gonna eat the mic, Ashes just looks concerned —
Okay so there’s someone here (I don’t remember their username, if you know it or if it’s you, let me know lol) that wrote a fic where in Ulysses Dies At Dawn, Jonny is Cerberus. Like Ashes is Hades (duh), Tim is Persephone — but Jonny went by the name of Cerberus, which I honestly adopted into my head because it makes a lot of sense to me. So, I liked the fic, adopted it in, now it’s made it’s way into my personal headcannons.
And that has lead to something HILARIOUS.
In “Underworld Blues”, Hercules’s part is pretty much him telling Hades that his last task was to get their dog. For anyone unfamiliar with Greek mythology, Cerberus is “Hades’s dog”.
So my brain keeps supplying me with this image of Hercules looking left and right for this dog, having no idea where the fuck it is, cause he keeps running into this short murderous guy instead, where the fuck is this dog —
And since he can’t find it he takes too long and that’s how Ashes catches him.
Realistically I know that if this were the case he would probably know that Cerberus is just a very animalistic and violent man, and not a dog, but I choose to ignore that fact cause it’s funny to me.
TLDR: Jonny is Cerberus and Hercules has no idea where the fuck the dog he’s supposed to “seize” is, takes too long, and gets caught by Ashes in Underworld Blues — is a hilarious thought to me.
Wanted to do a ⚡️Lightning Round⚡️!
I took the winners of all the other “which is the best [mechs] song?” Polls I did, and I bring you…
On this week’s episode of Things-I-Found-At-My-Work-That-Reminds-Me-Of-The-Mechanisms
I think Jonny would want me to have it, y’know??? — (correction, I think Jonny would want me to steal it, but still — )
