Why are there gears in her lower torso?

I have so many questions in this picture. Why is the clock broken? Why is there gears in her (JBridge)? Why is there gear at the back? And what's with the 69?

Aaaaugh, thumbnail, you have deceived me!
Is that even Patchy? Did Alice make her into a doll or something?

bah, you guys are thinking it to hard. You should see it as "Author is trying to be metaphoric and subtle and "artistic" and stuff". You are just supposed to node and give a noncommittal grunt

That's probably why we're thinking too much

69 is the number associated with Patchouli, as it could be read as "mukyu" or 6(mu) and 9(kyu).

Now that is one question down (Thanks, I was thinking dirty at first) now I have no idea anymore what's happening here.

"Clocked girl?"

I'd love for that to have been the intention.

it's just a new magic trick patchy is trying to pull off

this is some s&m yuri that just got way outta hand

Pixiv title: "Locked Clock"
One of Pixiv tags: "Sekken'ya"

Probably this image is related to their music album: 'Touhou Magma'
The third track of this album is "locked clock".

"6" is pronounced as "ROKU" and "9" can be pronounced as "KU" in Japanese.

"69" -> "Roku-Ku" -> "Rokku" -> "Lock"

And that's where SCP-882 came from.

It could be just an automoton or a cyborg created by the real Patchouli to fool others while she's away.
