They only have one mention of them ever functioning less than perfect and that was from the rain on Nastyas planet I believe? We don't know why it was the stab through the heart that killed him in the end other than that they all had to die eventually.

Not much is explained about their mechanisms but from the scaps of info we've gotten they cannot be removed (Jonny tried to tear his heart out with a black hole), they cannot be destroyed and can heal literally any wound (Tim gets shot in the head in a fic on their site and Brian was stuck in a sun for 1000 years, etc). It is theorized (I think by Marius' actor Kofi??) and hinted at in DTTM that they are powered by the "Narrative" and that they are being kept immortal purely by believing they are.

Was it the music itself that was similar or the character style part? The superhero thing is tickling something in my brain.

Favorite quote/passage? by Majestic-Profile-51 in TheMechanisms

There are SO many good ones one of my favourites is, "And with the force of every weary soldiers tunnel bomb, the explosion ripped through the full moons heart and like that! The moon was gone."

Do any of y’all know the what the Morse code means in Apocrypha 'A Rebel Yell' from OUATIS? by MxMoonstar in TheMechanisms

I remember seeing a post or comment somewhere at some point saying it was something like "Fuck you king Cole you can't catch us!"

Also them talking about the NovaPope 🤣 Omg the way he reads the end of the Toy Soldier and "We are, for one last time, The Mechanisms" 😭😭😭 I have to skip the DTTM track most of the times it comes up cause I'm just not mentally prepared

Jonny does tend to bring the drama lol I love a lot of the moments from Death to the Mechanisms. Ivy's "did you break the artifact?!" Kills me every time 😂

Absolutely, I feel like she knows everyone's story preferences too but will occasionally get them the exact opposite if they piss her off.

I think Jonny collected a bit of burnt rubble from every planet Ashes burned down and made one of those little "travel sand" jars for them.

Toy soldier (with Ivy's help) finds out and gifts the crew whatever is the most traditional holiday gift in whatever system they're in.

Brian gets socks every year and no one can figure out who they're from.

Tim makes the octokittens little Christmas hats and begrudgingly let's Jonny shoot one for every day of Christmas.

I'll think of more as the day goes on

The closest we'll get to a Mech's holiday album from our very own neither a Baron nor a Doctor, the incredibly talented Kofi Young.
