Doc's crimes of episode 1

Villager abduction

A lot

Destruction of property

Also a lot

Murder

Allay abuse

#hermitcraft #hermitcrimes #hermitcrimes10 #docm77 #this man continues to be my nemesis #... listen the idea is mechanically sound its just. #trapping allays in a state of perpetual agony for a filter seems a bit ethically uh. well. im going to generously call it dubious

[smultronviol]

Ppl going "waaahh unpopular opinion but Alice is kind of annoying and obnoxious and I don't think I'd like be her friend irl" is so funny to me bc like.

God forbid a cast of characters be multifaceted and have actual flaws and unpleasant aspects other than "grr angsty hero" and "whoops i'm so clumsy". Sometimes character dynamics and arcs need to be prioritized above "who would i personally be niceys with irl"

2. bro just WAIT until you hear about season 1 jon lol

#the magnus protocol #tmagp #season 1 jon was obnoxious and sometimes a straight up ASSHOLE and you were supposed to find him kinda grating!!! #yes alice IS a bit annoying and too much sometimes (esp in the first episodes) and i love that <3 #like. its p obvious that she uses the over the top-thing as a shield (to push ppl away/as a defense mechanism/to avoid being vulnerable) #we see her drop the act sometimes w ppl like teddy and sam who she actually feels comfortable around (and who know and understand her) #but like. she's stuck in a job she hates and is kind of afraid of (she KNOWS smth abt the horrors and is keeping her head down to survive) #(shes obviously afraid of sam going to far bc she KNOWS its dangerous) #so yes her act gets too much sometimes and yes sometimes she crosses the line into straight up mean (esp against gwen) #(but their dynamic is a whole other can of worms) #but like. i'm pretty sure its supposed to be seen that way. the audience isnt supposed to just find her kooky funny #the facade is supposed to be dismantled by the viewer etc etc #kind of like SEASON 1 JON the obnoxious bastard!!!!!!! #like. if you ever think alice is too mean towards gwen pls listen to s1 jon again and how he speaks abt martin?? #from a position as his boss no less? ngl i wanted to throttle him sometimes #you kinda forget abt it in the later seasons and if you only engage w fandom content. but like. go back and listen to the shit #he actually says. jesus christ man. i remember kinda hating him in the beginning #and to be clear i love jon! i think hes a great character! #and like. its almost as if his early season personality and facade was an important setup for his character development #and relationships with the other characters??? #but anyway 'alice is kind of annoying' is not an unpopular opinion its literally the FUCKING POINT #and both her and jon are my sweet baby angels <3 #alice dyer #jon sims #(and obviouslyyy you're still allowed to dislike a character ppl can have their own opinions etc etc etc. i just personally find it funny)

will this convince my friends to listen to the mechanisms? no. is that going to stop me from talking about the mechanisms? absolutely not.

#the mechanisms #the mechs #tma #tim ledsam thank you for all you do #and you too jonny (irl jonny) i guess #also I cannot imagine what it was like listening to tma as a mechs fan. like. #you're minding your own business and then ASHES O'REILLY SHOWS UP?? I'd go nuts. absolutely bonkers. (frank ily) #bs.txt #also don't mind my discord name. it was previously curbstomp symphony but I tend to switch it to whatever makes me laugh hardest and. well.

[ghost-in-the-corner]

If Shane Madej and Jonny Sims ever decide to collaborate on something I think all of reality would collapse into a shower of sparkling dust from the sheer, insane power of all that lore

#so i started listening to the mechanisms #and i'm like what the actual fuck is going on #but also #sleeping beauty is a banger #if those two men ever meet we will all die because they're just too powerful #watcher #we are watcher #shane madej #puppet history #ghost files #top 5 beatdown #mystery files #buzzfeed unsolved #hot daga #ryan bergara #steven lim #jonathan sims #jonny sims #jonny d'ville #the magnus archives #tma #the mechanisms #mechanisms #music #i'm going nuts i stg #rusty quill #lore #so much lore from these two men i stg #corner conversations

[rocksanddeadflowers]

Need the mechs fandom to know I'm going insane over the Rat-Tailed Rover album (the songs Kofi did for the game Small Saga). I'm just. Obsessed. Combining some of my favorite fantasy genres AND music. AND KOFI'S VOICE!!!!! It's so good no thoughts head empty just adventuring rodents........... If y'all haven't listened yet I demand you do (no pressure really but I am feral over this).

#i haven't gotten to play small saga yet but rest assured if the opportunity arose i would not hesitate #until then i shall continue to loop this album #everything about it...... superior #also go listen to wassailnt while your at jt. perfect album for yule to me (especially obsessed with lob lie by the fire) <3 #the mechanisms #kofi young #small saga

sophie foster should be allowed to say fuck

#and that is my one kotlc post #kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #sophie foster #PLEASE let her say fuck #girl has got a lot going on #listen I know the books are being dragged on and the same conversations keep happened but idc #I know that they are all just a lil toxic #I know they all have unhealthy coping mechanisms #idc

[bloodbot-brian]

I said this on twitter but I’ll say it here:

JONNY D’VILLE FANS PLEASE LISTEN TO THE ALBUM ‘AS THE ETERNAL COWBOY’ BY AGAINST ME! BECAUSE EVERY SONG (EVEN THE TITLE) IS SO JONNY D’VILLE CODED ITS INSANE

#it’s punk music by the way #fucking good shit #I think transgender dysphoria blues is my favourite album of theirs out of the three I listened to #but as the eternal cowboy still FUCKS #and anything that makes me think of my special interests #mainly mechs because its my biggest spin #makes me go crazy and I love it instantly so #the mechs #the mechanisms #jonny d'ville

[i-will-steal-your-knees]

She/her Loki voiced by Gunpowder Tim is the best thing to ever happen I think

#the mechanisms #the mechs #loki tbi #the bifrost incident #tbi #gunpowder tim #first name gunpowder last name tim #yes I will use that tag whenever I talk about Tim #anyways That is my gender. I will be taking no further questions #also go listen to The Bifrost Incident by The Mechanisms if you haven’t already. For your own good

[asleepinawell]

EVEN THE GREAT LOUISOIX!!!!

Aurum Vale has emerged as the winner of everyone's least favorite ffxiv dungeon (see all the poll results here) and now it will face off against the infamous Praetorium

so here it is: would you rather wipe in the first room and watch your teammates stubbornly stand in morbol breath attacks or sit through gaius' ten hour long speech yet again?

my personal opinion is that the ludicrous xp bonus for msq roulette should NOT be considered when choosing, but I can't stop you

#stone vigil hard was robbed #having leveled all the jobs now I can tell you exactly which one is getting my pick lolol #I stopped doing msq roulette for the last few months of the leveling because I was going insane #I actually really like porta decumana #it was the first super fun mechanics fight I got to in the game #castrum is blehhh but whatever #prae is just....yeah #ffxiv #final fantasy xiv #praetorium #aurum vale #also anyone who voted for av over sv hard is required to go run sv hard synced immediately #ffxiv polls #ffxivmp #mp #listen gaius' speech is hilarious I enjoy it but if I have to 'enjoy' it one more time I will explode #good thing I'm almost there on my replay!!!!! #YOU CAN'T EVEN SKIP THE CS IN DUTY SUPPORT LIKE WTF SQUARE EXPLAIN

[sapphickittykatherine]

ok High Noon Over Camelot is absolutely sick. not only is the plot super cool and uses the classic arthuriana elements in new ways, but there's a throuple and a trans man??? okay you have my heart, The Mechanisms

#i didn't intend to listen to the whole thing in one go but damn me i couldn't stop!! #my ears ache from wearing my earplugs for too long now #high noon over camelot #the mechanisms #arthuriana #mine

[jester-writing]

I love listening to Mechanisms songs and hearing the little details in the instruments.

Like in Torn Suits, you can hear the instruments representing each of the suits go out of tune before they stop playing as each suit dies.

Or in Odin with how the opening chords feel like a train starting to move.

And how the base line of Losing Track feels like the wheels of a train on the tracks.

Just all those little details make these albums worth listening to again and again.

#the mechanisms #jester speaks #the bifrost incident #ulysses dies at dawn #It just makes me go feral each time I listen to them #There's probably more I forgot about while making this post

Sighs

#this era of gojo is defined by using thirst traps as a coping mechanism #hey how many times are you going to draw him shirtle- #I'LL DO IT UNTIL I FEEL SOMETHING BESIDES TREPIDATION DAMMIT 😭 #the transgender song by crystal castles slaps so fucking hard #but when i die i gotta ask the cosmos how many times i listened to it while playing Minecraft that almost 2 years later it still reminds me #of that time i went like 10k chunks from spawn on the server and lived in a random village i found #trading wheat and gathering emeralds to purchase enchantments from the librarian #for a month basically. #eveyone else was busy accumulating resources to beat the ender dragon #and i was too but i was gonna be very cozy game about it.

dramatic recreation of me overstimulated and dissociating in the cereal aisle holding onto sanity by a single thread, blasting The World Yet to Come by @narcissistcookbook directly into my brain.

Anyways, listen to @jammechanics, take your meds, and stay safe out there, y'all 💛

#yet another tNC related shitpost be upon ye #shout-out to this song for single-handedly keeping me together at Costco yesterday #everybody go listen to matt's sweet tunes #the narcissist cookbook #tNC #jam mechanics

How ‘bout moons and headlights? 🌕🚘

#sonic the hedgehog #metal sonic #my art #this is the piece I’ve been working on for weeks #it’s the one that I randomly got inspiration for while in work and was absolutely eager to get started #like I was just listening to a Sonic music playlist and Look-a-Like played #and the lyric in the caption above made me go ‘OOOOOOOH ITS LIKE A METAPHOR FOR SONIC AND METAL- A WHOLE NATURE VS TECHNOLOGY COMPARISION’ #yeah anyway probably won’t be drawing Metal again anytime soon because all his wee mechanical bits are a bitch to draw

Girl who can’t stop thinking about how arknights characters would play in a fighting game.

#listen. Specter/Laurentina would be an A.B.A. like character where specter is slower and weaker #but then she hits a command/hit grab or something and switches to the hyper offensive Laurentina #Skadi would be like Sol Badguy. she’d be fairly simple and standard but her damage would be off the charts #Kal’tsit would be a puppet character controlling mon3tr #goldenglow would have a Jack-o like playstyle of summoning little guys who can explode #Amiya can switch between caster and guard stances #chen would have a dumb mostly unused mechanic where she can trade 100 Meter to unsheathe the other sword and go all out #lappland would be really annoying to play against bc she has a bunch of ranged disjointed attacks #FEater or Mountain are the most grappler like to me. but I would love to hear other people’s thoughts #also. asbestos install. she takes off the eyepatch and all her fire arts attacks gets more powerful #Arknights character designs are so good I think they’d work well really in a fighting game okay
