Dronetober: Day 30 - NULL

HAHAHA- I totally did all the days before this. Yup. I did that. Totally not a lie.... Anyway! I went hard for this one cause of the not lie.

Thank you @ddwhaleshark for teaching me the ways to start rendering-- ya dingus friend decided they were gonna do back lighting :D to do that. Is smart.

And thank you @megbanned for making this legendary drawing challenge. HAHA, imma go lay down now and think about my life choices.

[multiversal-fusion-reborn]

In your past blog, you said the White and Black Spies were toons hired by The Null Order, is this still true?

Yes, they still are and they never seem to quit no matter how much abuse they take from either the heroes that catch them, the various other factions, or from themselves and their own traps....Much to the misfortune and annoyance of the heroes they keep on harassing.

Uzi, after having kicked their asses for the upteenth time: I think I'm starting to understand and feel how the other factions feel about us.

Luz: Same...

Demoman: Oh, I need a drink!

As we get closer to the end of MD season 1, I've been thinking more about what the Solver's endgame might be. While her plans and motivations are still mysterious, we do have some clues. The first comes from the Solver, referring to herself as "the void" and "the exponential end". I believe her use of the word "exponential" refers to the growth of her power as she accrues more matter.

When she's only inhabiting one drone in a particular area, her power is relatively limited, as we see when she briefly controls Uzi:

She can create a NULL instance big enough to put a hole in the wall, and that's about it. But when she has a whole dump worth of discarded drones at her disposal, her power goes up by a couple orders of magnitude:

Now think back to Solver's orders as relayed to J: clear drop zone of life and construct spires at locations all over the planet.

The DD's weren't just building spires of dead drones to have a base of operations, they were creating fuel stores for the Solver. The drones in those spires were improperly deactivated and, given the number of drones involved, the Solver is guaranteed to be able to find hosts she can reboot and corrupt. And what will happen when she has matter collection points all over the planet? Well...

We already know the answer to that one.

So what's her endgame? Tessa told us when she revealed the truth to N: "I'll need you to choose the universe over one little drone". The word she uses isn't planet or even galaxy, but universe.

We already know that humans have invented faster-than-light travel. There's no other way they could be mining extra-solar planets. That means that the Solver knows how to use FTL travel as well, since she has access to all of humanity's knowledge.

So imagine if will, a cluster of artificial black holes traveling between star systems at a speed that makes light look sluggish, eating, meeting, and merging as the lights of the galaxy flicker and die, until there's only a galaxy-sized sentient black hole remaining.

Then... onto the next galaxy. And the next, and the next, until all the matter in existence is concentrated in an unimaginably dense ball of matter that warps time and space into a pretzel. It takes millions of years, but the Solver is ageless and patient. And then one day it explodes, a whole universe full of matter expanding into the void at incredible velocity, forming new stars and galaxies as the Solver remakes reality in her own image.

[dronebiscuitbat]

Hey, Bri, so i am writing a MD fanfic and in the mid of a brainstorm about how drones do.... smut stuff, i came up with some ideas, but then i realased that was similar to your ideas of how this works. So i came to ask if it is ok to use a adptated version of your idea? I will of corse credit it, especialy because it is a good excuse to to talk about your marvelous work to more people <3 (i love your works btw).

Lol sure, spread the gospel of null smut

MURDER DRONES E7 ANALYZATIONS/THEORIES

Since we're getting MD news today and it will most likely be either another teaser trailer or full trailer for E7 and it will probably reveal some things, I figured I'd list what I've noticed and my theories before then. I would've made a Things I Noticed video on it, but since I'm still finishing up the one for E5 I won't be able to do that. I'll still make it after, but for now, this will have to do! (Note: I posted this on Twitter and YouTube before Glitch posted the new teaser for E7, but forgot to post it here. Whoops lol)

IF YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL I COME OUT WITH THE VIDEO DO NOT READ BELOW THIS!!

~E7&8 Teaser~

1. The goopy fleshy covered entrance has most likely been foreshadowed since E4. There was a drawing of it among others with the dead drone that Uzi found under the floor.

2. The yellow light by the box is not a piece of V or a Disassembly Drone. It's just a lantern.

3. Theory: The scenes of N and Uzi going to hug each other and then Uzi hugging N and crying are two separate moments. The first one is going to be more comedic. N and Uzi hear something that scares them and their automatic reaction is to hug each other. Like something out of Scooby Doo. For the second moment N appears to be stiff. Unmoving. Almost as if he's in a trance, shut down, etc. Remember that Uzi has admin control of him and V, so if she wanted to she could most likely put him in SLEEP MODE or the like. Why would she do that? Because she's about to face Cyn/the Absolute Solver (her standing alone in that teaser GiF lends to that) and she doesn't want him to get hurt or worse, so she makes him stay behind. Before she leaves though she gives him one last hug good bye. Hence the crying.

4. N being dragged away. Some have said it looks like what he grabs is Uzi's beanie. From what I can tell, that's not the case. It's just a rock that N accidentally grabs in a panic. If it was Uzi's beanie I believe they would've had him look at it in desperation. As for who he's being dragged by, there's multiple choices. Cyn, Eldritch V, Nori or Yeva. It could even be Uzi. Also, I believe he's being dragged into the same opening that we see in the beginning. The one covered in the goopy flesh stuff. Because I can see part of the same box on the left side and I think the rock is even there on the floor.

5. The shot of the Sentinels chained up. We know Nori treated the Sentinels like "pets", so it wouldn't surprise me that they're hers. This could even be what leads to the teaser image of Nori and Yeva standing in the entrance of the Cathedral.

6. I've seen some say it's the manor from E5. No, it is not. It's a cathedral. The design is completely different from the manor.

7. If you look on the right written in blood are the words "THE END" and "NULL" and there's a drawing of what looks like a corpse spire. You can see these best when the lightning flashes.

8. Nori's locker being closed. The one closing it is Tessa. I can tell not just by her hand, but her bow enters the frame briefly.

9. The moment of N and Uzi turning to look at something. Uzi's left hand light is yellow, which is the same one she breaks/snaps N's hand with in the next shot. This could be after that moment, and this shows she was under the Solver's influence. What also leads me to believe those two shots are connected is the red lighting and their expressions as well as body language. For the lighting, in the first shot Uzi's back is to it. In the second shot, it's N's back. Why the swap? Because between those moments I believe more happens and they move around. Then Uzi snaps out of it, realizes what she did to N's hand and starts apologizing to him. N looks scared of her, because he is, which would make Uzi feel even worse. Guilty. In fact, what if she feels so guilty this is the moment that leads to her making the decision that she needs to face Cyn/the Solver on her own? That shot of Uzi hugging N also has red lighting, and who's back is facing it? Uzi's.

10. The cross Uzi is holding. There was that moment in E5 when Louisa (Tessa's mom) called Cyn "little anti-Christ". Why I think Uzi is holding the cross is because N remembered what Louisa said and tells Uzi to hold it. Or gives it to her. All in the hopes it'll help hold back the Solver's corruption.

~Nori and Yeva Teaser Image~

Not too much to say about this one. We never did see Yeva or Nori actually die. Just Yeva's body in E3 and Khan's comment of "And to put your mother out of her misery when the Murder Drones got to her with that nanite acid," in the pilot, so I wasn't too surprised to see they were still alive. However, what does strike me as odd is Yeva's stance and expression. Until this image Yeva has always looked terrified/horrified, so why does she look almost bored in the image? It's odd. Unless she's changed since then. Or...here's a random thought...what if Uzi swapped sentience with her? Lol highly doubt it, but it'd be funny.

~Uzi Standing Alone GiF~

1. Uzi is holding something in her left hand and it shimmers in the light, so it's gotta be something reflective. To me it looks like a necklace. Nori's? Yeva's? Or both?

2. The lights flickering in the background are candles. Who lit them?

3. The thing hanging from the ceiling in the background looks like it's either a lantern or one of those medieval cages.

4. Between Uzi's stance and her possibly holding her mom's necklace, I can see her thinking to herself, 'Don't worry, everyone. I'm going to put an end to this. No matter what.'

~Extra Things~

Cyn's eyes are going to have two small x's for eyes instead of the usual single large X we've seen, which might be a reference to Liam's previous work, Internecion Cube.

I believe current Tessa is either not human or at least not 100% human. Possibly a mix of organic and machine. After all the Solver has consumed human flesh.

[localsolverhost]

thinking about those 2 unfinished drawings forever. that was pre-ep7 btw i just thought it would be cool to draw my sona doing the null thing. or my sona with the solver limbs (also my gf's md sona is here too i wanted to draw The Angst. and considering how much does rinja use the solver...... yeah. this might as well happen). very fun to look at those after ep7

also thinking about. that one so much too

YES i did use that one image of possessed Uzi (in ep6) as a reference but also. I Literally Just Sit Like That on a regular basis ("i am about to use the solver" hand included btw. i do that thing with my hand far too often its so funny)

[shinxeysartgallery]

So about your MD analysis about the Solver...

So if the Solver is a living entity and all the blood and flesh is going directly to its stomach wouldn't it get full itself eventually? Also, regarding the flesh portals wouldn't it have digested/converted what it's eaten into energy already?

(This is the post for context - for new viewers/readers.) (Minor Episode 7 spoilers)

Well, for a comparison that comes to mind:

If you've ever seen Fullmetal Alchemist, I can compare my idea of the Solver to Gluttony. When Father created him, he attempted to recreate the Gate of Truth in his stomach, but failed. That failure instead created a False Gate in his stomach that left it as an infinite void of nothing. Now, Gluttony lives up to his namesake, as no matter how much he eats, he will never satiate his hunger or become full.

I think the Solver entity has something similar going on, especially considering all the black hole imagery associated with it. Black holes are infinite voids that consume all - not even light or sound can escape its vacuum; it truly is all-consuming. If I had to guess, I'd say the Solver entity is some sort of eldritch being with an endless void of a stomach, much like Gluttony. This is why it wants to consume so much and why it seems almost like it cannot be satisfied, no matter how much it eats.

Going back to FMA for a moment, we also see when Gluttony accidentally swallows Ling, Edward, and Envy, the three wander through the endless void. There is just an endless sea of blood up to their knees, as well as several skeletons/corpses and pieces of buildings/etc. that he's eaten over the 160 years he's been alive. There were even pieces of Xerxes' ruins, which very obviously had been there for a really long time. None of these things would still exist (or be as intact as they were) if he was able to completely digest it; this seems to imply that he can't (or at least not with stuff swallowed via his False Gate ability), which likely contributes to his endless hunger.

Much like that, if the Solver entity has a similarly endless void of a stomach, it also might not be able to actually digest everything that it eats. With the Disassembly Drones consuming oil to keep from overheating, it seems to be more-so acting like coolant for them, rather than them actively digesting/converting it to energy. We don't exactly know WHAT the entity is, so what if the blood and flesh it's consuming is for a similar purpose? That's probably not the case, considering Cyn explicitly said she was hungry and referred to eating things. But is it a case like Gluttony's, where it just can't digest what it eats, contributing to its endless hunger? And if that's the case, that would also still explain the flesh portals being holes into its stomach as well as it basically using wormhole magic to transport flesh places when its powers are invoked by users.

Or is it a case of the method of eating for the entity? As mentioned before, it seemed Gluttony was unable to digest things eaten using his False Gate ability, but he probably can digest stuff that he actually puts in his mouth to eat. Maybe this is a similar case? Maybe the giant NULL void is the entity's actual "mouth" and that's the only way it can somewhat satiate its hunger and digest what it's eaten? Could be at least partially why the Solver is so fixated on consuming the entire planet, rather than just Drones and/or humans specifically.

I kinda rambled a bit there, but I hope that all makes sense. shifeeofs

[randygrim]

My interpretations of the solver!

Solver to me very much feels like the antithesis to machinery.

In most instances we see it mutating the drones into biological creatures. The murder drones were created or corrupted into being machines that can transform into giant worms made of both machinery and biological matter, and uzi's solver transformation turns her into turn into a bat.

It changes the victim into something more animalistic and inhuman. All drones were created in the image of man, so turning them into less human entities feels like another step in its plan to annihilate humans.

The solver is the opposite of the cyborg trope. Instead of turning its hosts into something resembling humanity but robotic, it turns them into something that resembles animals and is biological.

Lastly, I think it's neat how the robotic (drones) was made from the biological (humans), and the biological (the animal traits on uzi and the murder drones) was made from the robotic (the solver seemingly being a computer virus).

Some closing questions ima have to rewatch md to answer:

Why does uzi have a solver form but doll doesn't? I'm a bug doll believer so I need a reason to justify why my girl cant become bug.

The solver and sometimes the disassembly drones have black holes in them that say null? Idk what that's abt but I think a rewatch will answer that on its own.

Why do the disassembly drones turn into big worms of they can just be rebuilt? I'm assuming it's to conserve money and time that it takes to rebuild them, but also who the FUCK programmed them to rebuild themselves like that if they can also just. Be rebuilt from the ground up. Over and over

But yeahhhhh!!!!!! That's my thoughts on the solver. I am not okay abt it and I think it's consuming me too

Thanks @melissa-titanium for the push to get me to write this shit down!!!!!!

ÑAKA JAJAJAJAJJ DIOS LIAM SUELTA A LA NIÑA 😭😭

La singularidad empezará.

Esto se refiere a la orilla de un agujero negro, lo cual se nos muestra varías veces en MD como [null] en un cartel del episodio 7 dice "destrucción de lo que conocemos 87 dias" haciendo referencia a la singularidad que sería que la orilla de un agujero negro destruiría todo lo que conocemos como "copper 9"...yo creo que en el episodio 8 todo se destruiría como predijo nori y uzi y lo cual repite khan en el episodio 7 como "si el closet de mi esposa tiene razón el fin del mundo sería en poco tiempo"...

es bien lindo que a nori y a uzi le gusten cosas iguales, tal como el "nightcore" y el "anime" XD y la apariencia

Ya hablando en un tono más serio creo que el regreso de cyn y la muerte de V y uzi golpearan a la serie muy duro, tal que puede llegar a explotar

Logistic Regression Analysis: Predicting Nicotine Dependence from Major Depression and Other Factors

Introduction

This analysis employs a logistic regression model to investigate the association between major depression and the likelihood of nicotine dependence among young adult smokers, while adjusting for potential confounding variables. The binary response variable is whether or not the participant meets the criteria for nicotine dependence.

Data Preparation

Explanatory Variables:

Primary Explanatory Variable: Major Depression (Categorical: 0 = No, 1 = Yes)

Additional Variables: Age, Gender (0 = Female, 1 = Male), Alcohol Use (0 = No, 1 = Yes), Marijuana Use (0 = No, 1 = Yes), GPA (standardized)

Response Variable:

Nicotine Dependence: Dichotomized as 0 = No (0-2 symptoms) and 1 = Yes (3 or more symptoms)

The dataset is derived from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), focusing on participants aged 18-25 who reported smoking at least one cigarette per day in the past 30 days.

Logistic Regression Analysis

Model Specification: Logit(Nicotine Dependence)=β0+β1×Major Depression+β2×Age+β3×Gender+β4×Alcohol Use+β5×Marijuana Use+β6×GPA\text{Logit}(\text{Nicotine Dependence}) = \beta_0 + \beta_1 \times \text{Major Depression} + \beta_2 \times \text{Age} + \beta_3 \times \text{Gender} + \beta_4 \times \text{Alcohol Use} + \beta_5 \times \text{Marijuana Use} + \beta_6 \times \text{GPA}Logit(Nicotine Dependence)=β0​+β1​×Major Depression+β2​×Age+β3​×Gender+β4​×Alcohol Use+β5​×Marijuana Use+β6​×GPA

Summary of Results

Association Between Explanatory Variables and Response Variable:

Major Depression: The odds of having nicotine dependence are significantly higher for participants with major depression compared to those without (OR=2.63\text{OR} = 2.63OR=2.63, 95% CI=2.03−3.4095\% \text{ CI} = 2.03-3.4095% CI=2.03−3.40, p<0.0001p < 0.0001p<0.0001).

Age: Older age is associated with slightly higher odds of nicotine dependence (OR=1.15\text{OR} = 1.15OR=1.15, 95% CI=1.03−1.2995\% \text{ CI} = 1.03-1.2995% CI=1.03−1.29, p=0.011p = 0.011p=0.011).

Gender: Males have higher odds of nicotine dependence compared to females (OR=1.39\text{OR} = 1.39OR=1.39, 95% CI=1.09−1.7695\% \text{ CI} = 1.09-1.7695% CI=1.09−1.76, p=0.007p = 0.007p=0.007).

Alcohol Use: Alcohol use is significantly associated with higher odds of nicotine dependence (OR=1.69\text{OR} = 1.69OR=1.69, 95% CI=1.12−2.5595\% \text{ CI} = 1.12-2.5595% CI=1.12−2.55, p=0.013p = 0.013p=0.013).

Marijuana Use: Marijuana use is strongly associated with higher odds of nicotine dependence (OR=2.36\text{OR} = 2.36OR=2.36, 95% CI=1.59−3.5195\% \text{ CI} = 1.59-3.5195% CI=1.59−3.51, p<0.0001p < 0.0001p<0.0001).

GPA: Higher GPA is associated with lower odds of nicotine dependence (OR=0.66\text{OR} = 0.66OR=0.66, 95% CI=0.45−0.9695\% \text{ CI} = 0.45-0.9695% CI=0.45−0.96, p=0.030p = 0.030p=0.030).

Hypothesis Support:

The results support the hypothesis that major depression is positively associated with the likelihood of nicotine dependence. Participants with major depression have significantly higher odds of nicotine dependence than those without major depression.

Evidence of Confounding:

Potential confounders were evaluated by sequentially adding each explanatory variable to the model. The significant association between major depression and nicotine dependence persisted even after adjusting for age, gender, alcohol use, marijuana use, and GPA, suggesting that these variables do not substantially confound the primary association.

Discussion

This logistic regression analysis highlights the significant predictors of nicotine dependence among young adult smokers. Major depression substantially increases the odds of nicotine dependence, even when accounting for other factors like age, gender, alcohol use, marijuana use, and GPA. This finding supports the hypothesis that depression is a strong predictor of nicotine dependence. The model also reveals that substance use and academic performance are significant factors, indicating the complex interplay of behavioral and psychological variables in nicotine dependence.
