Jonny D’ville - Blog Posts
@yourlocalmechanism-dr-carmilla apparently I can’t reblog your question with a video, so hope you don’t mind me tagging you.
Here’s the clip for everyone asking of Jonny confirming Jonny d’Ville is omni
🎵🎵WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A DRUNK SPACE PIRATE🎵🎵
I would like to go one step further from the 'jonny just pulled out a harmonica after his dads death' thing and say that he did that for all of his kills. even the casino.
i like to think the moon kaiser was wearing nike sneakers, so jonny was trying to chew through the shoe...
The idea that Lyfrassir joins the Mechanisms after TBI is so funny because that would mean that Jonny continues to play someone who is right there.
Lyf goes to every show, as their manager, and just awkwardly stands in the crowd while Jonny fucking d'Ville pretends to be them and absolutely nails it.
Okay we all talk about Martin being a Mechs fan but consider: Melanie’s the fan.
She adores their music. Angry lesbians, hell yeah. Goes to a bunch of their concerts. Really loves Natsya and Ashes, but has a secret glaringly obvious soft spot for Jonny D’Ville, asshole supreme. She decidedly doesn’t like a one Jonathan Sims.
Cue Georgie mentioning off-hand one night that hmm, is that a Mechs song? And Melanie is excited, because a gf who’s a fan? Double win. Then Georgie mentions that Jon was in the band in college, and Melanie just...bluescreens.
Jack be like “how’d you feel about killing a few folk? Don’t worry, no one real important and no one who’d be missed.” And it’s your father.
The mechanisms iceberg
I am humbly asking the fandom and older fans for entries on this iceberg because it really bugs me that there is so so much lore and even easter eggs thrown around the internet yet to be brought together to light
for some hot minutes I forgot that Jonathan Sims is also the name of the actor and when i googled the actor of jonny d'ville i got fucking terrified and now im laughing on the floor
alright i'll feed y'all with a traditional doodle of a Mechs AU of Jon
How much of Jonny's backstory I think is true:
This is what Jonny has to say about his backstory:
"Seriously? Fine. I was born a few hundred years ago on New Texas. Don’t bother looking for it, I made it up. I think. It’s the story, though, and that’s what matters. Standard ne’erdowell youth: cards, whiskey, women and murder. I’m told I had a good heart, but the Doc dealt with that after the whole patricide thing."
What I think is true:
-Jonny Grew up on a Texas like planet
-Jonny killed his father
-There was a casino in the story involved somewhere
What I think is untrue:
-Any of the dialogue. Jonny definitely rewrote everything to have better flow, be more dramatic, and make himself sound cooler.
-That Jonny's Father forgave him. I think Jonny had retold what he wants to have happened. Bonus Points for trans jonny, If he is trans I dont think his father accepted him as his son. The "I forgive you, Son." would be jonny's imagining of what happened.
I don't think jonny even remembers what really happened, and what bits are real and what bits he made up. Its been so long of him telling his rewritten story, what really happened has been lost to him, not entirely on accident either.
What I'm not sure about:
One Eyed Jack. He could have been a real person, or he could have been a symbolic character Jonny made up to represent multiple people. Or he could be taking the place of Carmilla in the story, and maybe it was Carmilla who convinced him to kill his dad. The One Eye symbolism is there.
Again, Jonny doesn't seem to even remember. "New Texas. Don't bother looking for it, I made it up. I think" and "I'm told I had a good heart."
and the
"Standard ne’erdowell youth: cards, whiskey, women and murder."
Cards ✅
Whiskey ✅
Murder ✅
Women (?)
There aren't really any women in his youth that we know of. Carmilla only came in later, so the only thing we have is his Mother who I think was a Tailor (am i remembering that right? idk where I saw that) and Himself, if you have the afab jonny hc. But the women thing sorta implies that he was having relations with women, so perhaps that was another thing that his father disagreed with? Im totally speculating here, but if his dad found out that he, being afab, had been going out with women, he perhaps did not react well to that, either hurting jonny, hurting jonny's partner, or separating them. Perhaps Jonny Killed his dad in self defense or in revenge?
Ok Ok im going to formulate a narrative of what I personally think happened:
-Jonny was born afab on a backwater planet possibly named New Texas
-He grew up with his emotional abstinence mother and either physically or emotionally abusive father
-Started hanging out at the local casino, where he can present as male. Hangs around with the prostitutes and working women, maybe even gets a job bartending or something.
-falls in love with one of the working women
-His dad finds out about the sapphic looking relationship/presenting male stuff and freaks out, going after the woman for corrupting the "Nice Christian Girl" he wanted his daughter to be.
-His Father does something about it, and arranges for the woman to be sent away, killed, or married off.
-Jonny goes to the casino looking for her, only to have One Eyed jack tell him what happened in a not so subtle ploy to get Jonny to get rid of his dad for him.
-Jonny is unsure, but goes after his dad, getting into a fight that ends with Billy dead and Jonny sobbing on the floor
-Carmilla finds Jonny, offers to take him with her. With his partner gone, Jonny has nothing left, and agrees. But he wants to have one last farewell to the casino.
-Either carmilla tips him off or he figures it out himself, but One Eyed Jack helped orchestrate the killing or sending away of the Working Woman in his employ,
-Jonny realizes Jack never wanted to help him, he just wanted someone to do his killing for him.
-Jonny burns down the casino and leaves with Carmilla.
I think him being motivated by a lost lover makes a lot of sense with the whole "used to have a good heart" thing. Jonny is very romantic in his storytelling, even when the couple always tragically dies. I think he chose to write her out of his past because it was too painful for him, and he didn't want a reminder that he used to have a heart. He has blocked it out, and now genuinely doesn't remember anything other than how he wrote the song.
What do yall think?
