Drumbot Brian - Tumblr Posts
I was listening to death to the mechanisms again, because I enjoy making myself suffer, and I was thinking about how because of time shenaniganery it would be possible for some of them to die before they became mechanisms, timeline wise. Then I thought about drumbot Brian and the concept of having both version of him, flesh and metal, floating together in space at the same time, probably light years apart but still there. And now I can't stop thinking about it.
I'm not sure if that's at all coherent but I think at least my vibe comes across.
uh. we threw your boyfriend into the sky. his science scared us and we called it witchcraft. Yeah whence he came and where he would die. sorry
Mechs incorrect Tumblr and Twitter posts
*meme blast*
Even more incorrect mech posts! If you guys have any requests for more maybe you could send them as an ask? (Please send both the image of the post and what mechs to put in. )
Also apologies if I’m neglecting certain mechs.
And more memes because I couldn’t fit them all in one post
Whoag more mechs incorrect posts (and text convos!)
Thank you to @yourlocalmechanism-dr-carmilla for submitting quite a few of these! Specifically numbers 4-7. (The last one you submitted is going to be posted later btw)
Also sorry done of them look like they got put through the digital wood chipper, many of them were made on hotel Wi-Fi or were low quality to begin with.
MECHANISMS REF IMAGE MASTERPOST
Okay, so I put together refs for each of the mechs as best I can. I tried to avoid anything in a show lighting, but sometimes it can't be helped. Notes will be underneath each section
Whole cast
Ivy is the only character leaning on the wall in the second image, but is roughly as tall as Ashes
Jonny D'Ville
Jonny in earlier shows like TTBT wears a black shirt underneath instead of the white. He occasionally has red or black painted nails and his goggles are either black or bronze. He has a black 7 of diamonds. He often holds a mic - which is a Shure Super 55
Drumbot Brian
He usually has just the flower in his hat, but sometimes it's replaced with RAM or his drumsticks. His goggle has a very small crack at the base. The rings seem to be a bit of a motherboard and screws? The visible heart is something I can only find in one picture, but it's cool
Gunpowder Tim
Sometimes wears jeans instead of dark brown trousers. His eye scars are more geometric than Jonny's, and he has dark eye shadow around the eyes where Jonny uses just eyeliner
Raphaella la Cognizi
The top is three layers: a white/cream shirt, a brown puffy shirt and a a top layer which has a halter neck. Occasionally one or both of the undershirts won't be worn (see HNOC liveshow). Tights can be blue or black. Light up wings from DTTM
The leggings/tights are sometimes black and sometimes deep blue
Ivy Alexandria
A few different outfits, in liveshows they're also wearing some outfits not shown here - but always black and red with a waistcoat of some kind.
Nastya Rasputina
The necklace is a little cat :3
Marius von Raum
Kneepads in DTTM. The cards are a jack and ace of hearts. Necktie either has a white or gold pattern on it, but they don't always wear it. The green jacket has a tailcoat
The Toy Soldier
Hair varies a lot. Sometimes it's worn down, in a ponytail or hidden under the hat. Sometimes nails are painted red or black
Ashes O'Reilly
In live shows they often wear this eyeliner which has thick bars that go behind the ears - but I couldn't find any clear pictures of this. Though their outfits changes, always mostly black with some red in the hair

I hope this was in some way helpful to anyone who wants to draw the mechanisms. If you have questions feel free to ask me in the ask box and I will do my best to answer them and provide some photos <3 have a great day
Put the Mechanisms on Survivor
What would happen??
More on me thinking about the mechs on survivor
I feel like Ashes would win. They’d easily be the next Boston Rob
Jonny would kill at those endurance challenges and just like... absolutely roast the people he’s competing again. (Think Christian from David vs Goliath in that one challenge but like... more mean)
Brian would be the nice one who everyone loves but they eventually vote off because they are too likeable
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!!!
The Mechanisms and their wanted posters (i have no idea who made them or where they’re from but I don’t think i’ve ever seen them posted)
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” !!!
