OKAY so I saw this a few days ago and was like “whatever” but then I smashed my phone in a car door, had to clean up some dead baby bunnies in my yard, and have just generally NOT had a good week. I’m fucking spooked and I’m reblogging this twice to get the universe to stop.

I ignored this too and then i got kicked out of my house. Also reblogging twice.

reblogging again, not taking any chances

Alright, I expect good news of about $650 dollars to come to me effortlessly, do it universe!

I hate these but I need good news

Yep, I can’t risk it. Not after the last 6 months.

Need a positive pregnancy test like the drought needs the rain. 🤞🏻

New year, abundance of luck

Damn it man

Ok

Fine

[profile] imperial_evolution made a Very Good Post about Martin being a fan of the Mechanisms, so I ran with that

Martin mentions when Jon settles in for a meal, that he’s going to clean up the house a little. He says, with a tiny blush, he usually plays music and he might sing along to it

“Is that okay? I don’t want to disrupt your recording time.”

Jon gives him a fond look, one that’s becoming more and more natural as the days pass.

“It’s perfectly fine, Martin. It’s not like anyone but me is going to be listening to these recordings anyway.”

“Right,” Martin says with a little smile. “‘Do Not Archive’, right?”

“Exactly.”

Martin hesitates for a brief moment, then rushes forward and kisses Jon quickly. He’s out of the room before Jon can react.

“Have a good meal,” he says on his way out. Jon takes a moment to compose himself. One should not start reading a statement while grinning. It would be undignified. He settles in with a statement, and even if Martin was yodeling from the hallway, he wouldn’t have been able to hear it over the steady, heady thrum of words flowing through him.



Jon finishes the last word and sits back with a satisfied sigh. This statement was full and would sustain him for at least a week. He idly mulls over the details of the statement, when a sound breaks his concentration. A cackle. A highly-recognizable cackle, accompanied by gunfire.

For fuck’s sake, Jon takes a second to think, then he’s out of his chair and opening the door to the kitchen.

Martin is standing by the sink, elbows-deep in soapy water. His head is bobbing along to the song and he’s muttering the words under his breath. Jon gets there just in time to hear his own voice say is this her? How do we wake her up?

Loudly, Jon says, “Must you listen to this particular album?”

Martin jumps, whirling around, sending little water droplets flying across the room from his hands.

“Jon!” he exclaims, over the sound of Jon’s college-aged voice proclaiming I’m not gonna kiss a sleeping stranger, Nastya. That’s really fucking creepy.

Keep reading

ofstarstuff:

To all the folks on my dash who have been binging The Magnus Archives: have you listened to The Mechanisms yet? It’s a band that Jonny Sims, Frank Voss (Basira) and Jessica Law (Nikola) are part of.

The concept: they are immortal space pirates having a great time rolling up to planets/ships/systems where some weird shit is happening, such as “Mad Max as high noon King Arthur in space”, “Tragic Greek myths as a bank heist (featuring a drunk Ulysses singing jazz)”, “Ragnarok as a forensic analysis of the strange disappearance of a bullet train (where a hammer comes in very handy)”, and “Revolution and war as European Fairy Tales (the one where Jack the Giant Killer is a revolutionary anthem and Snow White’s crew sing a shanty about pumping air)”.

There is so much queer rep in their music! Genderbent characters! Loki and Sigyn as a wlw love story! Mordred is a trans man! Arthur/Lancelot/Guinevere as a loving polyam tryad! Ulysses’ gender is canonically unknown! Characters sing about their same-gender sweethearts!

And the tunes are really, really catchy. My head doesn’t know if it wants to keep accelerating on the shanty or just linger on the parallel songs between Thor and Loki or the Red Rose song or or or–

Anyway, give them a listen. If you like convoluted plots like TMA, these concept albums should be just the thing for you.

Me: What I really want is a fic where Jonah captures Jon to use a source of power and also because Jon is the linchpin to the new world they’ve made. Then the Archive Crew ends up forming a resistance in order to topple Jonah’s new kingdom and also get back Jon.

My Brain: That’s just a Once Upon A Time (In Space) AU.

I think one of my favorite things about the mechs - as in like, the mechanisms as characters - is that they’re just bad people. Like, they’re chaotic neutral at best. One minute jonny and nastya save a princess and you’re like “oh how nice” and then the next minute ashes becomes a cruel and petty god and plays with people’s lives just for the fuck of it. I love them

titanfalling:

if nothing else both tma and mechanisms show that it really is that easy to include lgbt characters without centering them on homophobia or transphobia. “this girl grew into a sharp young man and chose another name” “this woman used to date the male protag and now she’s dating a woman” “this story is old so not sure if the protag is a man, woman, both, or neither, we’ll use they/them pronouns” “this group of two men and a woman are all in love and in a happy relationship” not to mention the number of m/m and f/f relationships both casually mentioned and central to the plot, where their love is shown as deeply important and something that keeps them strong and fighting for happiness

every cishet content creator who only confirms lgbt characters outside of the source itself? every cishet who only confirms it in the context of that character being hurt and abused for who they are? every cishet who just shifts around and whines that it’d be haaard and too complicaaaated? ball’s in your fucking court. jonny sims has a shotgun with TRY HARDER engraved on the side and he’s coming.

Anonymous said: 2/ likes that. Don’t give the bastard the satisfaction. If it’s something about Regis himself that’s the problem, I’d listen.” And Axis realizes Cor’s put together all the right clues, about the wrong dad.

Me: *sobs into hands* THIS IS GREAT AND I LOVE IT. Axis is a Panic at first, then … he realizes that Cor has the WRONG DAD.

A moment after that he realizes that he wishes, fiercely and deeply, that Cor was RIGHT. Because … because Axis doesn’t think he would be afraid if it was Regis. Not anymore. Not after what he’s seen.

Cor is surprised when Axis laughs, bitter and fractured, and says, “I with you were right.”

Cor frowns, like he’s going to reiterate his words on Regis being a good dad and a good man, and Axis shakes his head, “I don’t magic.” A pause from the Marshal, contemplative rather than disbelieving and Axis repeats softly as he leaves the room, “I don’t have magic. I almost wish I did.”

Axis disappears from the room and Cor stares thoughtfully after him for several seconds before the last piece clicks into place and Cor curses softly, “All those lectures and you’re the one with the broken kid. What the pyre you idiot.” And Cor grits his teeth as he storms away, more than a little ready to tear Clarus a new one, because he had put the pieces together and assumed it was Regis for a REASON. Not just Regis’s sudden protectiveness and vested interest in the refugees, but in the FEAR. Axis’s fear, his terror of being found out, the bone deep terror that clung to his movements, weighed down his shoulders. Cor had all thought it was because of Mors reputation, Mors legendary stiff-necked traditionalism that was making Axis afraid to speak to his own father.

But it’s not Mors.

It’s CLARUS. Axis isn’t afraid of being Regis’s son, he’s scared of being CLARUS’S and Clarus’s father wasn’t a very good man either, but he wasn’t anywhere near as famous as Mors, didn’t have near as large an impression after death.

Regis spots Cor entering the room, righteous wrath in his eyes as he looks for Clarus who has stepped out for just a moment, and says, “Don’t.” Cor stares at his king, a blazing fire in his gaze that hasn’t been there since he was 15 and stupid and Regis sags in his seat, like the world is suddenly heavy, “It is not our secret to tell.”

And all the fight goes out of Cor. Because Regis is right. That was why Cor approached Axis rather than Regis when he thought Axis was Regis’s kid.

That doesn’t mean he has to like it.

That doesn’t mean he won’t do something about it.

Regis might handle the political aspect, keeping the refugees under his care with religious zeal, but Cor has always been more hands on.

Axis stares in surprise the first time he finds Cor in Little Galahd, sleeves rolled up, helping repair some rundown apartments while wide-eyed, awestruck Galahdians look on. Cor pauses long enough to meet Axis’s stare and there is something fierce and possessive in it. Something as wild and loyal as the Clans.

Mine. Even if you will not say so.

And the little, fragile ember in Axis’s heart, the hope, grows a little bit brighter.
