Ashes set up Oedipus and his wife/mom after he solved the Sphinx disease thing. They knew who Oedipus was and who his mom was, they thought it was hilarious

yeah that sounds like something they'd do

Guys i had a terrible idea what if oedipus from udad took his sunglasses off and tried to read a barcode designed to install malware onto a device. what would happen to him.

It's like-

Oedipus started out trying to save and help the community he grew up in, only for the scandal orchestrated by the community he was born to turn the community he was raised in against him

Heracles wanted to help his family, his father and his children, only for his father to kill slaughter his children and blame it on him

Orpheus loved and was loved for his songs so much only for all of it to leave him when his true love and muse died and he couldnt handle it

Ariadne wanted to help herself and to escape the crimes of her parents only for it to further damn her when Theseus used her help and then rejected her

Ulysses was so worn down by the guilt of their crimes, of how they destroyed Illuim by turning all of them against each other and then Daedulus does the same thing to the Suits. They saw this and just killed everyone including themselves

i am doing badly at memorising the lyrics to Loki because every time i tell my brain i need to hear it i just get Riddle Of The Sphinx instead

#theyre relatively similar so my brain just goes “eh same thing i guess” #i have to know those lyricssss #me and 2 of my friends like reenacting the songs together and while i like both they both prefer TBI over UDAD #therefore one of them is likely to spontaneously start playing Loki from their phone and im sick of yelling NOT YOUR LINE BITCH at them #the mechanisms #the mechs #the bifrost incident #the mechanisms tbi #ulysses dies at dawn #the mechanisms udad #tbi loki #loki tbi #udad oedipus #oedipus udad

so i've been listening to elysian fields way too much lately and thinking how fucked up that song is for the mechs to perform. like put death to the mechanisms out of your head (bc that basically didn't happen yet with udad) and listen.

they're immortal. they can't die. the song is all about the sweet release of death, and arguably a gentle one at that, cradled in the fields on a world were nature ceases, next to the grave of your deceased beloved. it's a beautiful song, and arguably, ulysses got their happy ending.

the mechanisms don't get that, though. most didn't even get the option of keeping mortality. they're stuck on the mortal plane, in flesh and metal, with no escape or release within reach.

their finale performance of this album is the bittersweet comfort of mortality and endings, something they're well aware they will never be granted.

#it actually just really messes me up thinking about it #anytime i get immortal characters i will immediately go for the angst of immortality that is bound in flesh somehow #cause dude that would SUCK actually #so many pros to immortally but man you mean i can NEVER have the big gothic nap??? like never??????? #also i only just know realized that oedipus's father in the riddle of the spinx song and his bio father he killed aren't two different ppl #idk why i thought they were two different people for so long man #the mechanisms #ulysses dies at dawn #the mechanisms udad #udad #udad ulysses

the “this barbie is ___” meme template but it’s one for each suit and they read:

this barbie will service to his family as the favored son

this barbie thought himself an orphan

this barbie’s family will rise again

this barbie never should have placed his trust in the city

Hilariously, according to myth, Heracles' wife Megara is the daughter of Oedipus' brother-in-law/uncle Creon, making Heracles Oedipus' nephew-in-law/cousin-in-law. My headcanon is that they've met at least once at family events (like Oedipus' wedding) and immediately thought "this guy's vibes are rancid."

SO true, bestie. They would hate each other's guts even if they weren't in a Situation.

modern UDAD headcanons

•i feel like ulysses works retail and the olympians and suits are just the really weird customers. the vault tree is a shrub in a pot in the break room given to him by penelope

•orpheus performs at goth and punk clubs as a single artist. people give him money because they feel bad.

•bonus narcissus. sometimes he shows up and does interpretive dance to whatever he sings

•heracles does boxing. i dont have much more to say here. maybe he does part time as a renfaire guy because have you been to a renfaire? bro would love being apart of the fake fights

•oedipus is just a normal doctor. he’s probably that guy in fics characters come to when they have been injured. orpheus and heracles are weirdly enough the two most common for him to see. orpheus falls off stage a weird amount of times and heracles literally fights for a living. he absolutely hates everyone.

•ariadne is in school for computer science and programming. she regularly does cybercrime for random good causes (god forbid women do anything)
