[mag-the-kobold]

Hey, I've been thinking about High Noon Over Camelot...

Can someone explain "tube sun" to me? I saw something about it and immediately went "yeah, sounds good!" But the more I think about it, the more confused I am. Like, how would that work??

Anyway...

No thoughts, just Marius:

This is my favorite picture of him

[mechanismslorearchive]

never thought id make another i found photos post but here we go. where am i. 7/26/2025

all of these are from the the mechanisms mentions on facebook

to start, we have, a FULL PIXELS VARIANT OF MY FAVORITE TIM PHOTO???? WHAT. WHAT. I THOUGHT I WAS DOOMED TO CRUNCHY VERSION OF THIS FOREVER

was posted along with this one, here

Continuing, a lot of these are ones I already have just in better pixels, I will include those now

These are all by Lolair Images!

Continuing, and this shook me to the bone, we have photos from the tragic standup comedy show, yknow, the really good live recording of OUATIS we have????? actually know what mod @miralines i know you love this show here you go. food. food.

(also. TS in my favorite TS pants. this makes me happy those were a more than one gig thing)

Continuing, i found these:

These are from that gig with The Indelicates & Pocketwatch they did! Which is cool! As I would kill for a video of this gig!

Finally, we have some misc/random ones.

multiphoto stage photo microphone apple jonny waist up

(another microphone apple jonny image for the folder)

and also

very importantly

another purple marius spotting

previously purple marius was spotted in this cropped image

THE OTHER PURPLE MARIUS ISN'T POSTED HERE. JUST THIS ONE. and who they are posing with is different. no weird freak (/pos) bag and different shorts. This was posted on 7/6/2013 and claims it was from the day before, 7/5/2013 which cross referenced with the past gigs list CONFIRMS purple marius to be from

these sets.

i feel at peace. ive confirmed purple marius down to a date. this makes me calmer about purple marius. i know more about purple marius now.

it also confirms my suspicions purple marius was from a photo taking session, it narrows down the source of purple marius none, but i now have the date. i know no one else cares about purple marius photo like me but its driven me up the wall for several years

anyway i know normally the tone of this blog is a lot more professional but forgive me. i havent had new photos in like a year.

PROPAGANDA

Mojo Jojo

Evil Monkey genius, Mojo is not only the most popular villain on the show, but one of the most popular villains and mad scientists in all of Cartoon Network

Dr Carmilla:

K so I dnt remember if she has an actual doctorate but if she did it would be revoked very fast She’s an immortal space vampire lesbian who after some toxic yuri created her children to also be immortal after they died (no they’re not actually related but I doubt that matters much) and then made them a part of her band She was thrown out of an airlock by one of her children and iirc she just fucked off never to be seen again until she is alluded to in The Ignominious Demise Of Dr. Pritchard but e never outright saying she’s there so there’s a bit of fan interpretation when it comes to it She also after leaving the mechs starts a different band but alas no one really talks about that one Timelines when it comes to the mechs are messy and so are they and so is Carmilla and she deserves to w

Genuinely curious what the Mechs fandom thinks of TMA fans talking about Jonny as Jon and stuff so poll time!!

How do you feel about TMA fans using The Mechanisms in TMA spaces (eg. it's his uni band or something)

I am a TMA fan as well as a Mechs fan!!

I think its good! / I'm happy that people are enjoying themselves

Mostly indifferent

It gets annoying sometimes but I don't mind

EXPLODE THEM (don't like it)

See results / Not a Mechs fan / Nuance

im a tma and mech fan and it doesn't really make sense to me. Jonathan being Jonny is very incompatible, and it doesnt work when they add basira into the mix. However, TMA being a work of fiction made by d'Ville does work for me, because d'ville is basically just Collage age Jonny Sims silliest parts cranked up to max
