Image Describing Mechs Posts

[mechanisms-image-descriptions]

Hi, I'm making image descriptions for mechanisms posts with undescribed images, gifs and videos, as well as transcribing video audio and writing plaintext.

You can tag me on any mechanisms post to get me to describe it or send it to me via ask. You can also add my descriptions to the original post without needing to credit me. I'll also reblog mechs posts with image descriptions in the original post or written by someone else. (You can tag me for these too if you want your image description to get reblogged here).

Also feel free to correct me if I misspell something or make another mistake, I encourage it in fact.

The queue is currently set up to post twice a day, with some scheduled posts for things like Fuck You and Fuck Your Train Friday that will increase the posting on that specific day of the week.

What I tag: currently I tag #my description, #others descriptions, the mechanisms (fandom tag), any characters that appear (mechanisms or album characters) and the album or song if relevant. When I get around to reblogging image description resources here they will be tagged #resources

For accessibility I will tag flashing lights, eyestrain, and volume warning, as well as repetition for a lot of repeated text or emojis. I am also willing to trigger tag for anything, just send me an ask for anything you want tagged and I'll figure out a tagging system for those.

[ID: An edited comic. A teacher at the front of a classroom edited to have eyeliner like Jonny D'ville from the Mechanism's gestures at a whiteboard that says "Show and Tell" and asks the students sitting before them: "It's show and tell children, what did you bring?" One student raises their hands up to a floating, glowing tube and chants: "The tube! The tube!" The other students look up in awe, and they continue to chant "The tube!" as the teacher shields their face from the brightness and shouts: "No!" End ID]

[ID: A digital portrait drawing of Galahad from High Noon Over Camelot by The Mechanisms. He’s portrayed as a man in priest’s clothes: a cassock coat, a saturno hat, small glasses, with a pendant strung around his neck. A large amount of fire surrounds him. His hair is swept up in the surrounding flame, and he has a scared expression. A large circle with lines coming off it frames his head, resembling a sun or halo. End ID]

[majorshatterandhare]

[ID: a digital drawing of Ivy Alexandira, Raphaella la Cognizi and Marius von Raum of the Mechanisms as well as Lyfrassir Edda from the Bifrost Incident all sleeping in a cuddle pile.

Lyf is very tall and thin with light blue skin abd dark patches of space with stars on their face, belly, and hand. They have long white hair with pastel rainbow iridescence on the same side as the face space. They are positioned in the center of the image and have one arm around Raphaella and the other around Marius. Ivy hugs around their middle. They wear a tie dye shirt and beige trousers.

Raphaella is on the left side of the image. She has light skin and long hair that is browner at the root and fades to blonder at the bottom. One of her wings is slightly visible. She wears a golden laurel and a shirt which reads “your ride is here” with and arrow pointing up at her face and dark trousers.

Ivy is to the lower right and face down. She has light skin and short red-red hair that is close cropped everywhere but the crown. She wears a lime green shirt, which a short mouse-like tail peeks out from under, and dark sweatpants that say “babe” on the butt.

Marius is on the right. He has brown skin and short curly dark brown hair as well as a small dark mustache. He wears a light pink shirt with a pink logo of two bandages in a cross and a heart in the center on the shoulder. He has on matching pink shorts and calico socks. His monogoggle is on his head.

There are pillows under the group and a violin and a book have both been disgarded.

Me: "Damn people are REALLY BAD at knowing when to tag their eyestrain art/images...either that or they just don't care about photosenitive epileptic people like me. I feel really sad now." Person: "But Allison, what if they just don't know or understand what qualifies as eyestrain and what doesn't?" Me: "You know what? That could be a factor...While it is always better to be safe rather than sorry (so YES people should always tag eyestrain even if they're unsure if it "counts" or not) maybe you've got a point?"

Anyways! HERE'S YOUR HANDY GUIDE TO WHAT CAN COUNT AS EYESTRAIN! I'm pulling this straight from the Artfight rules page about what needs to be labeled and filtered as eyestrain because it's VERY helpful and VERY accurate! I also know not everybody has an AF account and might not always have access to this handy guide, and this is an important resource; That's why I'm sharing it here! (under the cut)

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!

Full eyestrain AF page link

"But Allison! How were you able to screenshot that example if you're so sensitive to eyestrain?"

I dimmed the HELL out of my computer screen and looked away while taking the screenshot and did the same when putting it into this post, that's how lol. BUT YEAH ANYWAYS!!! Once again:

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!

by the way this is medical. this could save somebody from a migraine all the way to a seizure. this has always been serious. treat this seriously.

image 1: table titled Cheat Sheet. On the left is the Needs Filtering column, which contains the following items: Large amounts of bright colors, including backgrounds; High contrast bright colors; Chromatic abberation; Optical illusions; Fast-flashing or bright animations; and Intense glowing effects. On the right is the Doesn't Need Filtering column which contains the following: Small amounts of bright colors, Slow flashing animation (under 3 per second), and Minor glowing effects.

image 2: A set of 6 examples under the title Visual Guide to Eyestrain filters. All use the same base drawing of a grey person with big eyes. The first is labelled Small amounts of bright colors with a check mark under the title. The person has a splash of cyan on one hand and a splash of magenta on one leg. The second is labelled High contrast or bright colors with a warning sign under the text. The person has stripes of bright contrasting colours across the torso. The third is labelled Bright/neon backgrounds with a warning sign under the text. The person is standing in front of a magenta rectangle. The fourth is Chromatic abberation or glitch effects with a warning sign under the text. On one side of the body there is a magenta outline with horizontal glitch lines into and out of the body. On the other side the same style with cyan. The fifth is Intense glow with a warning sign. The person's eyes and heart have a large bright cyan glow effect around them. The final is Clashing patterns & optical illusions, with a warning symbol. The person has a black, yellow and cyan checker-board pattern on one leg and a spiral optical illusion pattern on one arm.
