The mechanisms iceberg
I am humbly asking the fandom and older fans for entries on this iceberg because it really bugs me that there is so so much lore and even easter eggs thrown around the internet yet to be brought together to light

Uh huh checks out
Please help
dipping my toes back into the mechs fandom on tumblr, take some sketches!
How much of Jonny's backstory I think is true:
This is what Jonny has to say about his backstory:
"Seriously? Fine. I was born a few hundred years ago on New Texas. Don’t bother looking for it, I made it up. I think. It’s the story, though, and that’s what matters. Standard ne’erdowell youth: cards, whiskey, women and murder. I’m told I had a good heart, but the Doc dealt with that after the whole patricide thing."
What I think is true:
-Jonny Grew up on a Texas like planet
-Jonny killed his father
-There was a casino in the story involved somewhere
What I think is untrue:
-Any of the dialogue. Jonny definitely rewrote everything to have better flow, be more dramatic, and make himself sound cooler.
-That Jonny's Father forgave him. I think Jonny had retold what he wants to have happened. Bonus Points for trans jonny, If he is trans I dont think his father accepted him as his son. The "I forgive you, Son." would be jonny's imagining of what happened.
I don't think jonny even remembers what really happened, and what bits are real and what bits he made up. Its been so long of him telling his rewritten story, what really happened has been lost to him, not entirely on accident either.
What I'm not sure about:
One Eyed Jack. He could have been a real person, or he could have been a symbolic character Jonny made up to represent multiple people. Or he could be taking the place of Carmilla in the story, and maybe it was Carmilla who convinced him to kill his dad. The One Eye symbolism is there.
Again, Jonny doesn't seem to even remember. "New Texas. Don't bother looking for it, I made it up. I think" and "I'm told I had a good heart."
and the
"Standard ne’erdowell youth: cards, whiskey, women and murder."
Cards ✅
Whiskey ✅
Murder ✅
Women (?)
There aren't really any women in his youth that we know of. Carmilla only came in later, so the only thing we have is his Mother who I think was a Tailor (am i remembering that right? idk where I saw that) and Himself, if you have the afab jonny hc. But the women thing sorta implies that he was having relations with women, so perhaps that was another thing that his father disagreed with? Im totally speculating here, but if his dad found out that he, being afab, had been going out with women, he perhaps did not react well to that, either hurting jonny, hurting jonny's partner, or separating them. Perhaps Jonny Killed his dad in self defense or in revenge?
Ok Ok im going to formulate a narrative of what I personally think happened:
-Jonny was born afab on a backwater planet possibly named New Texas
-He grew up with his emotional abstinence mother and either physically or emotionally abusive father
-Started hanging out at the local casino, where he can present as male. Hangs around with the prostitutes and working women, maybe even gets a job bartending or something.
-falls in love with one of the working women
-His dad finds out about the sapphic looking relationship/presenting male stuff and freaks out, going after the woman for corrupting the "Nice Christian Girl" he wanted his daughter to be.
-His Father does something about it, and arranges for the woman to be sent away, killed, or married off.
-Jonny goes to the casino looking for her, only to have One Eyed jack tell him what happened in a not so subtle ploy to get Jonny to get rid of his dad for him.
-Jonny is unsure, but goes after his dad, getting into a fight that ends with Billy dead and Jonny sobbing on the floor
-Carmilla finds Jonny, offers to take him with her. With his partner gone, Jonny has nothing left, and agrees. But he wants to have one last farewell to the casino.
-Either carmilla tips him off or he figures it out himself, but One Eyed Jack helped orchestrate the killing or sending away of the Working Woman in his employ,
-Jonny realizes Jack never wanted to help him, he just wanted someone to do his killing for him.
-Jonny burns down the casino and leaves with Carmilla.
I think him being motivated by a lost lover makes a lot of sense with the whole "used to have a good heart" thing. Jonny is very romantic in his storytelling, even when the couple always tragically dies. I think he chose to write her out of his past because it was too painful for him, and he didn't want a reminder that he used to have a heart. He has blocked it out, and now genuinely doesn't remember anything other than how he wrote the song.
What do yall think?
hello, mechanisms enjoyer. who is your favourite mechanism. what is your favourite album. what is your favourite song. do you have a favourite mechanisms photo. and since you are asking for art requests, I would like to request feral jonny d’ville (put as much or as little effort in as you want. or just don’t bother if you don’t feel like it).
HELLO!! wow okay my favorite mechanism is raph, she is so fun to draw and HER VOICE IS JUST SO GOOD and also i love thinking up little headcannons about her backstory because theres basically nothing therez my favorite album is definitely hnoc, i love the silly little cowboys and the music and plot is just so good, and i just love arthurian legend in general. my favorite song is pieces from ttbt volume 2, i love the johnny and tim duo and ashes' voice in it is SO GOOD. AND I DO HAVE A FAVORITE MECHS PHOTO HERE
i dont know much about photography but to me the composition and everything in this is really good and the lighting and everything, and i loved seeing everyone dress up as their characters. also the dress is just so pretty so like
AND I DO HAVE A FERAL JOHNNY FOR YOU
hes feeling a little hungry better watch out

NASTYA!!!!!
Requested by @containment-br3ach3d
i dont have any designs drawn out at the moment, i might do some in the future, but i imagine fenrir to be very strongly built and probably hairy, having darker hair (hes a wolf in norse mythology so-) and then i imagine freya to be very feminine, blondish hair, long flowy clothes, things like that.
also if youre looking for other background characters i recommend doing research on other norse gods cause that could be some good material
hi mechs tumblr
weird question but does anyone have bifrost incident ocs or ocs that were . alive during the tbi Events (the actual incident, not lyf’s time)
or designs for the named but never shown characters like fenrir or freya
i am cooking up Something and i need background characters
Hiya! Can we see Jay Merrick and Johnny D'ville trading Tims?
They just thought theyd have a smoke until (the other) Tim and Jay came back, but suddenly Johnnys talking about his cannibalistic tendencies? Tims so confused, he just wants to be back with normal people.
Meanwhile Tim and Jay are having a splendid time taking pictures and videos of random things. Wait, where do the pictures and videos that Tim takes go?
They didnt give him a place for them to go :(
I have no idea what to draw so send me requests of things you’d like drawn!
I would especially love requests from fandoms like;
The Mechanisms
TMA
Stanley Parable
The Life Series/Hermitcraft
Good Omens
Marble Hornets
DISCLAIMER
I will not be doing any NSFW, and keep in mind these are just going to be sketches.
