and she will do it again

i only contribute with quality content (that's like three months overdue)

Some mortal engines fanart because I never stop thinking about these silly billies.

Yes I think I’m funny.

Congratulations! You are present for my annual single Mortal Engines drawing!  Based on a fic I once wrote about Hester, Tom, and, most importantly, frogs

See you all again next year!

How is Robert Sheehan in so many movies ive watched and yet when i find out my reaction is always "that was HIM????" Every single time

Hester and Tom are one of the luckiest people on earth. They always get rescued before it is too late

Why it's called "Mortal Engines"

You know how the Snowpiercer has a perpetual motion machine powering its engine? The engines of the traction cities don't have that, so they must constantly burn something to fuel themselves, making them 'mortal engines.' To summarize, earth's crust is rendered unstable due to earthquakes brought on by war, so cities are put on wheels cuz that's cheaper than constantly rebuilding after weekly earthquakes(?). Roll with it. Thousands of years into the future, the earth's crust has stabilized but big cities still consume smaller cities for their resources in a process known as "municipal Darwinism" which was supposed to be a temporary solution but humans are stubborn and the traditionalists refuse to go back to stationary cities. The result is that the UK and Europe are treeless wastelands of churned dirt, the forests ran over and consumed by centuries of moving cities.

Spoilers beyond this point:

The last few pages of Book 4 are dedicated to Shrike's pov where he sits guard and watches Tom & Hester's bodies decay. When he awakes, a forest has grown around him, the first forest in millennia. None of our characters save Shrike get to live long enough to see this forest and while it is sad, it's beautiful and sweet and fitting.

MORTAL ENGINES - DISCORD SERVER

My friends and I started a super small ME discord server and we are only a handful so far so it’d be SO cool if more people joined! We’d really love to establish a small fandom community for fans both new and old!

Basically all we do is go “a little” crazy over the series and we also work on our own OCs for the world and it’s super chill but as I said we aren’t many people yet so any new member is very welcome!

Another pre season 3 art

Me @ any hair department that deals with Robert Sheehan: Put the straightener down or so help me god...

So the thing about Hester and Tom is that no matter how tragic their end was, their story was happy. They got to live happy in Anchorage, before that in Jenny, they got what most of the others in their world didn't. Their end may be sad, but their story wasn't.

Don't mind me, still sobbing.

No thoughts… just Hester and Tom being happy FOR ONCE

"I need you, idiot."
