The "Uzi is Cyn/the unknown mansion drone" Theory Masterpost because I have been driven insane by stuff I've noticed.

Choosing to believe I was right in my post-episode 2 theories in that the unknown drone in the mansion and Uzi were connected, but specifically because of these screencaps.

N, J, and V had white eyes in the flashback (if you level adjust the colors), unknown drone girl clearly has yellow eyes. Uzi's color briefly turns yellow in the pilot when Absolute Solver becomes enabled on her. Unknown girl's introduction glitches her eyes a few times in a purple tint.

So now I'm returning to this observation after episode 4 where this goldmine was dropped:

This goldmine, whatever it means.

This goes in one of two ways. One, Cyn is a disembodied AI/horror that can possess drones with Absolute Solver enabled. Cyn possessed the body of the drone from the mansion before. Or...

Or: It's MUCH more fun to consider that Cyn is the drone from the mansion... and is Uzi's previous identity. Or at least is part of Uzi's psyche somehow. Before I get into this idea, let me talk about N's reboot message from the pilot. It's "STRING "ABSOLUTE SOLVER" BLOCKED BY ADMINISTRATION "CYN"" and I wanna point out that it doesn't actually refer to Cyn as an administrator. It's "Administration" and Cyn is placed into quotes, perhaps as a codeword? We know now from episode 4 the mansion drone did something terrible using Absolute Solver, so her name may have become the name of a failsafe placed on N, J, and V.

So, where is evidence for Uzi and Cyn being the same drone? I wanna point out something from the season 1 teaser:

Wow, that looks a lot like the mansion from N's flashbacks!

Same record player, wall lights, maybe same window even? It's very similar. So why's Uzi in this place she's supposedly never been in? Perhaps "Uzi" never lived there, but her life as Cyn did. If this theory is right, then the killed drones on the floor below her may represent J and V, whom she saw as competition to N's attention.

And also consider this:

Uzi sees this figure while investigating the campgrounds. This figure looks a lot like Tessa. That, or it's Cyn (with black hair for some reason?). They both wear bows so that's no help lol. It'd be very strange for her to see either of these characters in this sort of hallocination way because she should have never seen either of them before. Perhaps it's old memories resurfacing? There's also a hand she sees peeking from the side, which is exactly what Cyn does when she first introduces herself to N, V, and J.

On a weird note, it'd been pointed out to me that if you brush Cyn's hair down and cut her longer locks shorter, it would pretty closely resemble Uzi's hair style. I only find that interesting because Cyn's bangs are so weird there's gotta be some reason for them looking that way. Idk take a look.

Also while I'm at it, potential other clue to this theory or something AS-specific. When Uzi turns the arrow to flesh, her AS ability turns yellow. It turns red when it actually overheats later in the cabin (one wonders how this works on Doll). Every time we've seen AS and flesh it's yellow? Note Cyn showing off the tasty human hand in her mouth while her naturally yellow AS is activated. Uzi turns yellow when she decides to kill humans and later again when she turns the arrow to flesh. It was at the arrow scene where V became convinced that Uzi was Cyn. Yeah, this is all mighty suspcious lol.

Let's get into some weird stuff. Solver Drones have this zombie theme going on and Uzi does Fatal Error during this episode, so she's technically dead. Whether or not she's only dead now or has been for a while is debatable. See my last theory post on if she's even a Worker (anymore?) for additional doubt into our understanding of Uzi because we have never seen her Worker symbol at all for some bizarre reason.

On a related note, Eldritch J telling Uzi that "it hurts our feelings you don't remember us" is curious. It proceeds to show her an image of her and Nori. Nori's the key to whatever this is, this theory or not. Considering the "Uzi is dead" flags, perhaps the original Uzi died and whatever happened at Cabin Fever Labs led to Cyn becoming Uzi, who is only now beginning to remember this other past she had. The old Uzi being "reborn", so to speak, would provide an actual explanation for Khan thinking she had a totally different personality during the talk with the teacher and her classmates forgetting who she is. Might be a reach, but hey that's how it be when you talk about Liam's stuff.

Also wanna point out that Eldritch J's VA has been liking tweets about Cyn/mansion drone, most of which are theories like this where Cyn is the mansion drone. I can see that as only a confirm on her being Cyn's VA, but maybe a point for this theory.

Alternatively, this was all a huge red herring and Cyn is something entirely different. I am merely trying to read into this specific theory and see what connects.

42 + 44 for House, 27 + 37 for Wilson!!

- Housethemd (can’t ask from a sideblog, how annoying)

@housethemd

Ooh making me work for it with Wilson

House

3 comfort items:

The softball canon answer is (1) his ball of unknown origin (2) his motorcycle and (3) his instruments. (Add to that his t-shirt collection, his favorite fruit apron, and his assortment of desk items collected randomly over time. House is a secret collector. He loves his things.)

But I think I can push it further with 3 fun headcanons / fan ideas.

1. Favorite book—maybe Moby Dick (for obsession and a flight of fancy, characters who are even more intense than he is as a way of release) or Twelfth Night (yearning and gender fuckery plus you know he was that kid who devoured Shakespeare in middle school just to prove he could). For a genuinely “really, Bee,” option—the collected works of Sherlock Holmes. There are lots of Sherlock adaptations House wouldn’t relate to but the original works are not one. Anyways whatever it is it would be some old fancy volume with paper thin pages and a leather binding. Smells great. Feels great. Looks great on the shelf. He’s read it so many times he can quote from it so he doesn’t pull it out much anymore.

2. Weighted blanket. This man would love and needs a weighted blanket, but maybe he has one already. He would use it an unreasonable amount. Imagine the Ducklings rolling up to ask him a question and he’s in Thinking Mode but with a weighted blanket.

3. French press. He likes the way it makes coffee, it’s copper and he likes the way it looks. He likes the ritual of it. Yeah. French press.

Also he should have a tiny comfy (as much as possible) folding chair in his kitchen. Just saying.

His happiest memory:

I think this strongly depends on what time in his life we’re talking about, so I’m gonna play with that a bit.

Pre-infarction: the paintball game with Stacy. Can you imagine the sexually-tense snarking? The glowing feeling of meeting someone who implicitly understands you - or at least can match your blunt deviousness? A fun way to meet someone so much like you.

Post-infarction to s3: I like to think that somewhere in there was a fun & tender moment with Wilson that something reminds him of and makes him smile on occasion.

s4-5: his whole relationship with Kutner tbqh. Kutner blowing up patients. Kutner switching to no. 9. Screwing with Kutner in the cat episode.

s6: when Wilson buys the organ.

Thereafter I think his happiest memory is doing the spud gun thing with Thirteen and when she tells him that promising to kill her was the best way she’d ever been loved.

Wilson

Guilty pleasure:

I’m just gonna redefine this as “embarrassing pleasure” for my own sake.

Canon: Telenovelas. Look at his defensiveness. Look at the plea in his voice when he begs for the season finale. This man is not learning Spanish. He knows Spanish. And loves telenovelas.

Headcanon: stuffed animals. He doesn’t keep any in the house for a long period of time, but he buys them as gifts as often as possible. He can’t help but anthropomorphize them and likes to hug them and do funny voices. If he was more able to allow himself to do what he wants and fly in the face of convention, he’d have quite a few. (Not hundreds or anything, bc he’d connect with each one, but maybe four or five. They’d live on the bed or the couch.)

What he really thinks about himself:

See now this is the tough one. So many (all?) of the House MD characters are layers within layers, and Wilson is tough bc he’s often unaware of what’s going on with himself. So what he *really* thinks of himself? Hmm.

I think he thinks he deserves better in so many situations. I think sometimes he might be waiting for someone to save him, that if he’s good enough maybe he’ll deserve it & it’ll happen. I think he believes he has to be as giving of a person as he can be or else he is committing a crime / causing harm / not fulfilling his moral and ethical responsibilities. I think he knows he goes above and beyond but is terrified that isn’t true. (And I do think the one hc that he has moral perfectionism OCD makes a lot of sense.)

Bad Caretaker Part 4

No editing we die like men (meaning it’s 1 AM but my writer brain won’t let me rest until it’s posted)

Masterlist

—

Tobias’ chest heaved as he ran, harsh air burning his chest, inside and out, what with the new wound in his side. His legs ached from the seemingly infinite distance to safety, but he was still in the back of his team’s group.

Their pursuers were hot on his heels, and every step took more and more willpower. He focused on Michael’s back in front of him, hoping Levi’s chosen recon point was close. He’d be waiting with their getaway car.

Tobias didn’t see Jacob turn around from where he was leading the group, but he did hear him when he yelled, “Michael! Tobias is injured!”

Michael turned around, jaw clenching as he took in the blood soaking into the front of Tobias’ shirt. He’d been through worse before— it was just a knife wound. Wasn’t even serrated— but not while running.

Michael slung Tobias’ arm over his shoulder and all but dragged him forward. He couldn’t stop himself from screaming when his wound was pulled, tears rising to his eyes. Then he clamped his mouth shut.

“I’m sorry, I won’t- won’t do it again, please,” he whimpered instinctually, faster than his mind could process that it wasn’t Isaac beside him right now.

Michael stared at him, stumbling slightly. “What are you talking about?”

“Isaac doesn’t like it when I scream,” he managed, biting his lip to stop himself from doing it again.

Michael’s eyebrows drew together, mouth setting in a way Tobias couldn’t quite read. He seemed to want to say something, but the situation didn’t allow it, so he turned his face forward again and ran faster.

Tobias may have blacked out somewhere, because he blinked and suddenly he was lying down, the others hovering over him. He blinked blearily, confused. And then the pain hit. A pained whimper got caught somewhere in his throat and he tried to curl forward onto his wound, tears gathering pitifully in his eyes.

“Hold still, Tobias,” Jacob said, brown eyes wide with concern. “Please, you’re injured, we need to treat the wound.”

“No, n-nnh,” Tobias writhed instinctively, pulling on the hem of his shirt even though no one had made a move to touch it yet. He couldn’t let anyone see. He couldn’t. He didn’t want to know what Isaac would do if he showed his scars.

Jacob sat back a little, brow creasing further. “Tobias, please.”

Levi’s jaw set. “What’s gotten into you? You’re injured. Let us help you.”

Tobias whined again, soft words slipping out before he could stop them. “N-not, not allowed,” he whimpered, then his heart froze in his chest, combating horribly with the fire of the wound carved into his side. He prayed they didn’t hear, but judging by Jacob and Levi’s facial expressions, they definitely did. Tobias was studiously ignoring Michael, who knelt right next to him with a medical kit.

Soft hands touched his hair, pulling it back from his forehead where it had been sticking, and he would have sighed in relief had he not been so shaken by the unexpected content. That was wrong, he didn’t want to he touched right now and everyone was too close…

Isaac’s face came into view, upside down. Oh, it was Isaac’s hands in his hair. Was his head on Isaac’s lap?

Tobias’ stomach churned at the thought and he blubbered, pulling away. Isaac’s fingers tightened in his hair and pulled him back down discreetly, but harshly enough to make him wince.

“I think he’s getting fevered,” Isaac murmured.

Jacob shot him a scared look and reached forward again, too close, and Tobias choked on a sob.

It was all too close.

The blood in his veins was on fire and pulsing and wanting out, and it seeped through the gash in his side only to stain his clothes red and make them cling too him, sticky and smelling like rust, and all across his skin every permanent reminder of Isaac’s touch ached and scratched, demanding his attention and caging his heart in between their pale, raised lines, and he wanted them gone and he never wanted anyone to see them and he never wanted Isaac to touch him again but Isaac was here now and was still touching him and everyone was crowding around him and wanted to look at him and touch him and they wouldn’t stop talking—

“Guys BACK UP, he’s overwhelmed!” Michael shouted with so much authority in his tone that they all, surprisingly, listened. “We need to get him somewhere quiet with not as many people.”

“I’ll take him to his room,” Isaac agreed immediately, moving to scoop up Tobias’ limp and blood-soaked frame.

“No,” Michael said, voice firm. “I’m the one with medical knowledge. I’ll take him back and treat his wound.”

Isaac’s jaw flexed as he met eyes with Michael, but he quickly flashed a sheepish smile, conceding. “Of course. Just let me know if there’s anything you need. I know how to deal with him.”

“I’m sure you do,” Michael murmured in a bitter tone that was lost to everyone else.

“Besides, Michael’s got to be the least overwhelming of all of us.” Levi smirked and raised an eyebrow. Tobias found issue with that statement, and would have said something had he not been sniveling at the moment.

Jacob elbowed him. “Shut up.”

Isaac helped Michael gather Tobias’ weight—which, really, was much lighter than it should be. But Michael’s brain was a carnival of concerns at the moment, and wondering if Tobias ate enough was just confetti to be trampled underfoot.

As he got him into his room with the door closed behind them and the lights still off, the trembling boy seemed to relax just a little. Or maybe it was from the blood loss. Michael cursed, rushing him over to the bed and propping him up on the pillows.

“I need to see your wound, Tobias,” Michael said, reaching for his shirt.

Tobias whined and stiffened, curling in on himself. “Not, nn—Isaac-”

Michael fought helpless tears rising in his own eyes. “Tobias, please, we don’t have time for this. You could be bleeding out and I’m the one who’s going to stop that from happening, so please just let me.”

Tobias blinked sluggishly at him, muttering something that might have been a no, but Michael took it as a yes anyway. Tobias was really too weak to fight him as he pulled the shirt off, squelching and staining his fingers red with blood.

But even the wound was nothing compared to the scars covering Tobias’ torso. Jagged lines wrapping around him, places where skin had been shredded, ripped apart and left there forever. He recognized some of the marks, or at least knew what kind of instrument made them, but some of them he didn’t want to imagine. All of them made him feel sick.

Tobias whined, all the fight leaving him. He slumped backwards and let tears flood his already soaked face.

Michael took a deep breath, reaching for his supplies. Tobias was injured now, the rest could wait till later. But first… there was a doubt, a suspicion, that had been growing in his mind. He needed to know.

“Tobias… did Isaac do this to you?”

Me, Myself, & I

Tagged by the lovely @peachpety! <3

1. Why did you choose your url?

"Gryffindor Hearts" is loosely based off of the sorting hat song:

You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart.

2. Sideblogs?

Nope! Just this one!

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

I was on tumblr in the pre-dashcon era, haha, and a part of many different fandoms alongside HP back then! I just recently rejoined in the last month or so, though

4. Do you have a queue tag?

Just "queue" but maybe I will make a more fun one!

5. Why did you start your blog?

I had been a lurker on AO3 for a while, and wanted to start writing my own fics. One thing led to another, and @the-starryknight dragged me back into tumblr and all of the different Drarry discords! I'm so glad I joined fandom again -- there is no place like it <3

6. Why did you choose your icon?

I made it! I thought a lion would be a fun icon to have. Here's a link to the bigger image.

7. Why did you choose your header?

Oh! Good question -- I was researching medieval ceilings and found the image while doing so. It is a picture of the Exeter Cathedral star ceiling. Something felt very Hogwarts about it, so I thought it would make a good header image!

8. Post with most notes?

This drawing of Draco! I am relatively new to making digital art so stay tuned for more fan art.

9. How many mutuals do you have?

I feel like most of my followers are mutuals because I am new and still meeting lots of wonderful humans through tumblr and discord!

10. How many followers do you have?

Shhhh.... it's a secret. ;)

11. How many people do you follow?

Being new, I am always following more and more blogs each day! I hit the button whenever a blog catches my eye.

12. Ever made a shitpost?

Not yet! Haha.

13. How often do you use Tumblr each day?

I tend to queue a lot of things up, and check tumblr when I can each day! Real life keeps me busy, yuck.

14. Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog?

I fight with @the-starryknight all the time.... ;) juuuust kidding!

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

I'm glad that social media can be used to support so many causes, and spread information quickly. But I think it's always important to be critical and research an issue before reblogging it. And we can all understand that social activism looks different for each person both inside and outside of fandom spaces!

16. Do you like tag games?

I do! Tag away!

17. Do you like ask games?

Yes, I think it's a fun way to get to know others! I always love seeing an ask pop into my inbox.

It's so hard to tell -- you're all stars to me and I always feel in awe to be surrounded by so many talented people.

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Who don't I have a crush on lol!! Y'all are such lovely humans and make my heart so full.

Two Months 🍀

January 04, 2021

I am new into the KPop world and I landed my eyes on these 5 hardworking lads. I am luckily of the same age as them. My birthday is very close to Young K's birthday! So, I realized that the way I act at my age is normal 'coz I see myself in them 😉

I've been listening to 'You Were Beautiful' since around August 2020 in the playlist of my favorite local artist in our country. After some time, I got curious so I played the whole 'Sunrise' album. However, since I am not a fan of KPop, I wasn't easily drawn to fangirl over them.

In November 2020, while working at home and my music blasting inside our house, my younger sister got curious and told me that I was getting more inclined into playing KPop songs. I told her that it's in a playlist of our fave local artist and I found the song (You Were Beautiful) interesting. She told me how come I never checked out the members of the group because she knew me well. She knew that I would definitely research about artists especially when they're that good. And that night, I realized she was right so I searched details about them and started to watch their live performances and interviews. That's when I finally fell in love with them.

Just days after claiming I am a My Day, I started voting for them on MAMA, wherein it was my first time participating in Korean Awards voting. It was so great they have won the Best Band Performance Award.

I followed all of their social media accounts, downloaded all apps related to their activities like VLive, Reddit, Twitch, Pinterest, etc. After 2 or 3 weeks, I made this sideblog for them and also started learning Hangul, how to write and read it.

In two months, I was able to buy several postcards and I already got 3 albums: Gluon, Youth Part 2, and Entropy. I even subscribed to Bubble! Yes, in just 2 months!

Well, I feel that I owe them so much for not knowing them sooner so I want to know them as quickly as possible to compensate for the past 5 years I am not there to cheer for them. How funny I got to know them in an unexpected time of the world, during this pandemic. Nevertheless, I am so happy that they always make my day since I knew them.

So, now, I am excited for the Winter Edition MD postcards to come and to collect other albums I haven't bought. I recently quit on my job so I need to keep my savings for now while taking a rest and looking for a better opportunity.

To you self, congratulations for being 2 months old as MyDay 🍀✨

[medi-melancholy]

wondering if maybe i should post more about cons and events and the business side of my art stuff, since i have like... something of a fanbase, i guess??

i’d make a sideblog specifically for art stuff but i’m terrible at managing multiple accounts and i prefer keeping everything in one place, even if it’s unprofessional... plus i have a hoard of business cards with my blog on it so i don’t wanna make a new sideblog and render those inaccurate

i only do fairly small cons in the wv/va/md area so posting about where i’m gonna be working feels like a waste, since it’s not like a huge chunk of my followers are around here, and i don’t expect people to travel just to come check out my art.

also, i don’t have an online store because i’m honestly not sure which is the best site to use for that sort of thing, since i already make my own prints, and getting materials to ship stuff is so complicated and expensive and bluh. and i don’t have any other social media for my art because it’s way too stressful for me. i get asked a lot if i have a twitter or instagram but i just CAN’T.

idk, i probably need to work on being more professional and organized before i regularly post about my business
