obsessed with the implication that the City (udad) is fine with trans people but not with lesbians

this means i have to discard my 'transfem raphaella was kicked out of the City for being trans', it's now 'transfem raphaella was kicked out of the City for being a massive dyke' which is both sad and hilarious

Still really into this idea of a climbing rose growing out of Brians body and up onto the gallows, resulting in the rose restraining him rather than the original cord (also still really into that being catgut).

The rose is alive because of him and it becomes what’s keeping him there.

Roses are symbolic of Mary and Brian is space Jesus.

The gallows are a symbol of death and flowers of life. The fact Brian is immortal and didn’t die there creates three aspects instead of two.

The rose is part of him and he is what’s really keeping himself there.

#also. greek isis told a donkey to eat some roses. and brian said the isis bit in iphis which is a greek myth #also also. greek isis likely influenced the veneration of mary #can you be alive if you cannot die? #the mechanisms #drumbot brian

For Mechanisms songs, I think Siva deserves to like Sirens.

anon, you get to be the load-bearing Mechanisms round-up, as supplied by replies by @triceforgotten @tiniernbcat @rusalkaandtheshepherdgirl @anothergoddamnmystery @i-am-not-a-fucking-mermaid

Siva: Sirens, Pellinore and the Beast, Alice, Trial By Song, Cinders' Song Alestes: No Happy Ending, Blood and Whiskey, Cinders' Song Noor: Skin and Bone, Iphis, Inez: Old King Cole, Baker: Pump Shanty, Ragnarok IV, Anh: Ragnarok II, Swan Song, Hellfire, Gammon: Lucky Sevens, Underworld Blues,

You can find the playlist here, if you'd like to listen along! Thanks for all the recs, I've really vibed with all of them - and I especially liked the dual Cinders' Song rec for Alestes and Siva... If anyone has more recs, let me know and I'll keep editing this post :D

[fuck-you-upmusicbracket]

oh we're doing trans music?

"iphis" by the mechanisms is kind of a trans song? (i say kind of because the greek myth it was based on is. uh. sketchy.)

the mechanisms in general are known for writing and performing queer songs in general, though! like "cinders' song", a lesbian love song sun to the tune of haul away joe (sea shanty)

"IPHIS" LYRICS:

(i like this song because of the way it plays with gendered pronouns.)

Honestly I think we're going to be doing trans music for the rest of the year. Which is good. I didn't know there were so many trans anthems out there

#song recommendations #trans music week

[majorshatterandhare]

Iphis is really good.

I *like* how they use pronouns throughout to show the change.

Is Iphis a trans guy? Is Iphis a he/him lesbian? Is he both?! He’s whatever you want him to be.
