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.
Hi! I actually talk about the Mechanisms on my side blog now, @majorshatterandhare, however I would love to answer your questions, so here goes!
My favorite Mechanisms are Gunpowder Tim and Drumbot Brian. I love everyone though. I particularly also love Ashes, Ivy, and the Toy Soldier. I actually did a post back in January where I catalogued how many posts I had about each Mechanism to see if it was clear who was my favorite (link), which I thought was pretty interesting and I am considering doing again this coming January.
My favorite album is Tales to be Told, volume II! And my favorite song is Stranger. I’m sure you can figure out why. I like Stranger a lot a lot and have talked about it before (here, here, and here, although mostly the first one).
Favorite photo is harder, because I only really look at them to ID them, but I’m gonna go with this one, because I like the variety these goggles provide and it kinda looks like Ben is stabbing Tim and I just think it’s funny how every one is overlapping. Plus it has four of the five I listed above! And this vest Tim is wearing looks like it’s camo to me, although I doubt it is, but I think it’s very funny.
[ID: A photo of the Mechanisms, in costume, including Tim Ledsam as Gunpowder Tim, Ben Below as Drumbot Brian, Frank Voss as Ashes O'Reilly, Morgan Wilkinson as Ivy Alexandria, and Jonny Sims as Jonny d'Ville.
Tim is front and center in the photo, holding his guitar and playing. Behind him Ben is on the left side of the frame, holding a drumstick in his hand like he's going to stab someone, and Frank is on the right, holding and playing their bass. Further to the right Morgan can be partially seen, but his face is obscured by Jonny's shoulder, which is the only part of Jonny that is visible.
Tim has light skin and shoulder length, curly, brown hair. His head is turned toward the viewer's right. He has short brown facial hair and wears a pair of modern welding goggles with a teal green skirt and frame and black lenses over his eyes. His face is partially obscured by his hair. He wears a white button up shirt with the sleeve rolled up to just under the elbows under a dark patterned waistcoat with light wash jeans and a belt. His guitar is made of light colored wood on the front and dark wood in the sides, head, and neck.
Ben has light skin, curly, auburn, chin length hair, and short facial hair. He looks down and in front of him. Only his hand holding the drumstick described above is visible; the other is hidden behind Tim, but another drumstick sticks out from behind Tim's hip on the side opposite of where Ben is standing. He wears a white collared shirt under a long black coat with gold buttons and dark trousers. He wears a black top hat with retro welding goggles around the crown and a pair of drumsticks stuck in the strap.
Frank has medium brown skin and shoulder length, straightened dark brown hair, which is shaved or pinned back on their left side. They are looking towards the camera with their body pointed toward Ben. They wear a white collared shirt, untucked, under a black waistcoat with black jeans. They wear a black fedora with a black band and a dark dangle-y earring. Their electric bass has a steel blue body and a light wood neck.
Morgan's skin is not visible, but his hair is short and dyed bright red. He wears a dark grey, long sleeve shirt, under a red waistcoat with brown corduroy trousers. His body is turned mostly toward the right side of the frame.
Jonny is mostly unseen, but on his shoulder, the sleeve of a white shirt and the edges of a vest and sash is two different shades of beige can be seen.
Behind the Mechs a beige and red brick building can be seen across some grey water. Behind and between Frank and Morgan a black tarp with something long, thin, and yellow and red is visible.
