#Gunpowder Moon

[nevinslibrary]

Weird & Wonderful Wednesday

The book is based in 2072 and the moon is being mined for helium-3, the substance that powers reactors on Earth that are reversing the harm to the environment. Of course, it’s a company that’s mining near the Sea of Serenity. Then, one of Caden Dechert’s diggers is blown up, and, the former Marine is on the case. Trying to solve the first murder on the Moon.

Yep, the whole murder on the moon is what pulled me in. But, I also really wound up liking the world building that went on. And, just, the setting of the moon was different and sort of another characters too. I mean, the whole, vacuum will kill you thing. And, I had to look up the whole ‘smells like gunpowder’ (according to literally ever astronaut that’s been there, it does, like spent gunpowder), and then may or may not have gone down a delightful rabbit hole all about moon and mars dust and how pointy and sharp it is.

Part of the Gunpowder Tim vs. the Moonkaiser project I'm working on. I still have a hard time figuring out what kinds of weapons to include, but nerf guns as reference help.

me: in “teatime with the kaiser”, the last song in gunpowder tim vs. the moon kaiser, the music is mostly a mix of guitar, bass, and drums behind jonny’s lyrical narration. after the line “tim looked the soldier in the eye / and he gave the order, ‘FIGHT!’” the music is joined by the glockenspiel, which is specifically one of the only instruments played by the toy soldier. in the part of the story where the soldier was brought into the fight, the song itself brings the soldier into the music!

"The Mechanisms were Jonathan Sims college band" and "Jon is the secret real past of Jonny D'ville" are both great takes but I present "Jon's descend into an unwilling antichirst figure is The Mecs new album and Jonny plays him in the songs because they just have very similar voices for some reason."

#tma #the magnus archives #the mechanisms #jonathan sims #jonny d'ville #the mechs singing about Jon's life and interacting with it as a way to get more of the story is fun #ashes would love to join the corrupt avatar old men group for the maniuplation #they would be in all elias and peter divorce and marriage parties #Jonny is angry that people actually call Peter capitain #he is also at all grifters bones shows #and even played with them once or twice #breakon and hope accidentally adopt the toy soldier for a while #ivy helps jon be a proper archivist #marius tries to psicoanalyse elias #jonny is also just melanies bestie #she call him better jon #brian and jon discuss what it is to be human #gunpowder tim makes a whole presentation about why blowing up the moon is cooler than blowing up some clowns and he is the better tim #he also gives weapons to Martin #ralph becames an eye avatar somehow #manuella and brian insult suns together #ashes and anabelle became besties #ashes annabelle and jude perry go to parties together #ashes also hangs with gertrude and agnes they might have helped them became a couple because they now tragic saphics is a mecs classic #nastya just chills with her girlfriend at earths orbity and accidentaly saves dark sacrifice space guy and lonely experiment guy #she also bonds with manuela they discuss about spaceships and suns #she and aurora add manuella to spicy their sex life for a bit as a friend with benefit of both

how many fights do you think have broken out at [in universe] mechs concerts because tim actually looked at toy when he says 'fight!' in gptvtmk and it just starts stabbing

Idk if this actually matters or not but I was listening to the mechanisms on shuffle ( horrible idea I manged to get aurora strikes, riddle of the sphinx n frankenstine since I started typing this)

But I kinda noticed something, so gpt us loki n eoidipus right? All three character have something that happens to their eyes, like

Gunpowder tim - blinded by moon boom boom

Eodipus - gouged put his own eyes after realising he fucked his mum

Loki - (granted this is more to do with the myth) has the venom of the world serpent dripping into their eyes

But point is their all ties by their eyes

Wanna know who else has a tie between their characters? Marius

Think about it both thor n heracles have lighting symbology, with heracles calling himself 'the thunder bolts of zeus' in favoured son n thor is the god of thunder in mythology

What if whatever happened to marius for him to end up mechanised had something to do with a lightening storm n being stuck in a mechanical suit which is basically just a big ass lightening rod

Idk I've just had this though for a while might add to it later or something idk

I imagine the first rehearsal of Gunpowder Tim vs. The Moon Kaiser to have gone something like this

Jonny: -and quite frankly hilarious

Tim: *reveals that he has, in fact, built a gun into his guitar and immediately shoots Jonny*

gunpowder tim vs the moon kaiser implies that the british monarchy still exists after 300 years, which frankly, I think is a more horrifying concept than anything else the mechanisms have written about

sorry about your boyfriend… such violence couldn’t last, and tim’s luck ran dry, when a lenny lined a rifle up and let the lead fly.. and when he awoke, he was chilled to the bone.. yeah, he was kneeling unarmed at the moon kaiser’s throne.. sorry.
