#Murder Drones… ramblings?

[multiversal-pudding]

HEY WANT MY CURRENT HCS-UNTIL-PROVEN-WRONG/ “THEORY” IN THE SENSE OF “Source: It would be dope?”/ MESSY MAD RAMBLINGS RELATED TO MURDER DRONES?

TOO BAD YOU’RE GETTING IT ANYWAYS

(Btw this is like. Mostly based on other people’s theories and stuff- also this is going to be basically the opposite of something polished and readable? Think of this less as “prediction looking to be accurate or logical” more “these thoughts have been rattling around in my head and I want to unleash them”)

I Feel like given Liam’s previous stuff like Internecion cube, there’s a damn good chance Absolute Solver is basically an Eldritch entity, be it some kind of super-ai that spiralled past any of the designers wildest intentions to the point of basically becoming a god, or possibly the other way around with JcJenson maybe having done a “humans gonna human” in deciding to mess with the forces Beyond Human Understanding, then try to sell it/utilize it in making stuff to sell (IE using some kind of “entity of growth” to make a repair program that. Seemed like a good idea at the time). Either way, As someone who likes that freaky kinda cosmic horror bodyhorror entity stuff, I’m down for it-

Honestly, I think I kinda like the idea of Absolute Solver not being spread from the Disassembly Drones, but rather the other way around, with them having it loaded but mostly disabled outside of regenerative capabilities specifically to protect them from the Worker Drones from using it (directly) on them (granted as V learned rather painfully, this does not exclude them from throwing various pointy objects at you, it just keeps them from pulling that *snaps your head backwards and crushes you into blood* thing Doll pulled)??

Somehow, with its dialogue implying it knows something bigger about Uzi’s Mom/the world as a whole with its “cute little puppets” comments, J’s specific wording of telling N “the worker drones are corrupted” (which. Granted could’ve also been talking about them being deemed “Rogue AI”, but still-), the strange organic elements and extreme power associated with it? (Which. If the DDs are built with containing a neutralized version version of it in mind. Is this connected to the fact they have literal human organs stuffed inside them??)- this doesn’t feel like a tool. This feels like some underlying element at play, and probably one of the main suspects explained so far that could either be A) something that’s strong enough to make Copper 9’s core collapse, B) could be something that would want and have the power to collapse the core of a planet, and/or C) could be a reason why something/someone may have considered it worth wiping out humanity just to try to kill it

As for where it came from in the first place/how it spread- again, maybe the humans dug too deep, accidentally released something but only realized it was a problem later or. Hell, maybe part of it was that the WDs did some digging/experimenting of their own on top of it- we know that two of the main AS-related characters other than the DDs, Doll and Uzi, both have a running theme of nametags/ associated numbers with their mothers, plus the fact that robot babies exist as is in the first place is confirmation they have been trying new things on themselves already

If WD experimentation with AS started before the Murder Drones Arrived/the possibility of it was present- Given the extreme power of AS we’ve seen, it could be possible that the drones starting to unlock this power could be a reason other than paranoia that JcJenson considered it worth the time to exterminate them (though. TBF I I think they might just be callous jerks anyways, semi-reasonable underlying logic or not-)

If experimentation with AS started/continued after the Disassembly Drones arrived- Judging from the fact that Khan already had a closet labelled “Nori’s Kooky Insane Stuff”, iiits possible Uzi might take after her mother in terms of “maniacal engineer”-ness… who’s to say Nori didn’t decide to pull some Sci-fi bullshit of her own of a more “human experimentation” direction? Like. Hell, Uzi made a huge frickin’ gun as her “maniacal engineering” moment- If the parents help construct the baby, technically Nori also built a gun-

Sidenote- like. It might just be a “make the MC more visible” thing, but- as someone else already pointed out, it would be interesting if it turned out the reason why Uzi was short and didn’t have a hard hat was related to her not being a normal Worker Drone/in some way built to have some kind of adjustment made with this element present in mind, something the AS may or may not already know while Uzi doesn’t (there would be a lot of horror to be found in that idea… and also maybe a little dark-humor? In a “ARE YOU KIDDING?! THAT’S WHY I’M SO SHORT??!” Way?)

So- maybe the experiment was what introduced it into Doll and Uzi/their mothers? That is, if it isn’t already present on some level in all the drones as is and the experimentation only brought the existing potential to the surface- imagine finding out everyone was born pre-infected with some crazy eldritch horror woven into their brains, and that what at first appeared to some spreading parasite was simply some people being able to tap into what’s already present in everyone one way or the other…

CONCLUSION?!

…I’m running out of red string and pushpins :|

(but I do have some potential AU fodder maybe should Episode 4 come out and completely change everything maybe?)

TL;DR: talk to me about Murderdrones I am sooooo normal I promise :) <- Lying

Cyn post-series gets her own body after Uzi's had enough deadpan commentary from her. She's a Solver user as it's the only way her OS is operational and it helps with her limb functions, she really doesn't like using or relying on it though.

The way I see it, AS users don't unlock the fleshy tail/wing bits unless they're badly overheating (kinda last resort like Material Collection) so as long as she stays topped up she's fine!

Her relationships with the DDs and Uzi are understandably strained but slowly they're getting to know the real Cyn. Lizzy 'kidnaps' her for sleepovers often, she's the first real friend from the colony :D

how ive been feeling the past couple of days. i have no shame

[jazzyblusnowflake]

Has V and Uzi ever tried topping N instead of N and V topping Uzi?

Oh definitely :"3 he likes it~

N has his moments true- but he would do anything for his ladies, first and foremost uwu - ESP IF it gets him to receive any sort of pampering/ kisses/ praise/ etc as reward~ :p [not that he needs to they just shower him with it ksdkjsfks]

admittedly he really likes being bottomed by V because of several reasons- one of which being she knows him better and it really does feel nice having his decades-year-old crush praising him and giving him kisses and caresses/ etc-

But also being bottomed by Uzi feels like a communication of trust and bonding in such a more intimate way that makes him crave more- also its kinda funny when you consider a big machine-eating predator letting himself be completely in the hands of a shrimpy chaos gremlin of doom sfkjsdkjfk

Uzi supports him emotionally just as much as V and when they kinda sandwich him inbetween with kisses and caresses- he is just literally fluttering with love overdose and a heart eyed visor- [remember boi literally gets excited at the smallest things and yes by flutter i mean the dreaded wingboner ur welcome-]

[cynsbasement]

They have def thought of this once, or dozens of times.

[mileymint]

So I noticed some parallels between the siblings.

[linatheweirdooo]

V's glasses: an analysis about how a single item tells a story.

The glasses are a symbol of the old V. The weak drone at the Elliot manor who was taken advantage of by the solver, who couldn't stand up for herself.

Seeing her glasses shattered by the solver seems like she lost that part of herself. It seemed like a loss, the start of her decent into insanity. But when N puts them on later in episode 5, she sees what she's doing, and for the first time tries to fight though the solver in her head.

Obviously, it still didn't work, and that was kind of the last we see of this V. After this, she got turned I a disassembly drone and starred to loose her mind over how weak she used to be and her obsession with proving she isn't that person anymore.

She spends the rest of the show trying to protect N, but too scared of telling him why, which buried her deeper into this hole she dug for herself and she unintentionally hurt the one she was trying to protect.

Things will never be the same again. But the next time she wears her glasses in episode 8, it's an important moment I don't think enough people talk about. The glasses are shattered, like her old self.

But she still wore them. Because she finally came to terms with the past. And when she wore the glasses, she was able to use the strength and weaknesses in both versions of herself.

She cares about the people she loves most, who are N and now, Uzi too. She'll do anything to protect them. The selflessness she had in the past comes back as her sacrifice, while her current day strength is able to stand up to the sentinels.

And because she's now come to terms with that fact. Now that she stopped hiding her past and is able to grow and change, when her glasses get shattered by the sentinels, she doesn't try to stop them. The past is in the past.

The glasses aren't her anymore, V is herself. V is the powerful and strong willed disassembly drone she is now, but she's also kind, and the people she loves are everything to her. The glasses no longer represent what V lost at the manor.

V has finally accepted herself, with all her strengths and weaknesses.

silly lil j

The other one

Since I got a couple peeps ask about the Reverse AU here is some more info !

This lil drawing shows who gets switched up with who!

This au started when I just thought of Uzi getting switched with N, the visual of murder drone Uzi just didn't get out of my head but then the ball kept rolling ! V witches with Thad while Lizzy switches with J. Ofc i had to think of CYN then and well Doll was still on the table :]

The idea of Lizzy fighting alongside Doll just really stuck so here we are!

what about the other characters ? like Uzi's mom etc? .. idk yet :'] brain smoll

[reverienco]

what the fuck am i doing. scheduling this at 1am.

[kalpeavaris]

Nori takes Core!Alice for "walks" using a reinforced hamster ball.

If she behaves, she might be able to ditch the ball and be taken out on a leash

[dronebiscuitbat]

Uzi. This is Uzi.

[s-wave-entertainment]

NO BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE TALK ABOUT THIS ENOUGH WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS ENOUGH CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS? BECAUSE

Yeah okay that's a pretty terrifying thing to see, and I can pretty logically assume this is hallucination on N's part, but does that stop him from literally CATCHING HER IN THE NEXT THREE SECONDS???

NO THE FUCK IT DOES NOT LOOK AT HIS HAND LOOK AT HIS HAND UNDERNEATH HER HEAD LOOK AT IT

CAN WE ALSO TALK ABOUT THE CHANGE IN EXPRESSION THAT I CAN ONLY ASSUME IS DUE TO WHAT HE SAW?? Like also I assume yeah obviously he's worried about Uzi because who the fuck wouldn't be (Cyn) but like LOOK AT THIS BULLSHIT

HIS EYES DON'T HOLLOW OUT UNTIL SHE NEARLY HITS THE GROUND AFTER THAT WHOLE THING OCCURS AND YOU CAN SEE THE FUCKING SWITCH FROM "Oh my fucking god what the hell is happening" TO "BEEP BEEP BEEP RED ALERT SHIT'S GOING DOWN OH BISCUITS OH FUCK"

"Myrah what the fuck are you on about it's 8:30 in the damn morning?"

I AM UNWELL ABOUT THESE TWO GODDAMNIT

Hello! I like your Cyn AU and I am curious if she knows that she wore Tessa's skin as a suit and if she does know how does she handles it?

Hiiiii!! Oh yeah she was conscious throughout everything, but unable to do anything but be a passenger to her body due to the total system access AS had.

I imagine AS didn't take her over until a year after Tessa fixed her up (so it could learn how to mimic her personality and mannerisms to better hide in plain sight) and had her under control until Uzi yanked her core from her chest, so all of "her" actions were actually the AS's.

I mostly HC this because Cyn's core stayed absolutely still and didn't try to fight back or scramble away like we see N's do earlier in the episode. She knew possible death would be kinder than going back under the control AS had on her in that body. Yes I read way too much into these little moments lol.

But yeah Cyn remembers her body wearing Tessa Skinsuit, but thats only one aspect of the nightmare fuel that was the last 20 years. Certain fabrics and constricting clothes can trigger flashbacks so she mostly stays in loose fitting clothes and super flat shoes like slippers. She can't stand the touch or sight of Uzi's fleshy wings at ALLL

Dear fic writers-

Uzi is NOT a jerk-

Uzi is NOT an asshole-

Uzi is NOT a dick-

Uzi IS:

Overdramatic

Tense/ Anxious

Overcompensating

Neurotic/ Standoffish

these are NOT the same thing.

Uzi is NOT an aBUSIVE SHITHEAD-

im so tired of reading some fics man...

thanks for coming to my ted talk-
