#Updates From Cyn

[painful-vomit]

LOG 1-001: Tessa Disguises

Subject: Tessa James Elliot

Subject Status: DECEASED

Progress is slowly being made. Subject is officially deceased and has since been modified to my liking. Incisions have been made at the wrists to make room for my own hands to peer through. Although my hands fit through Tessa's wrists, I will avoid exposing my hands while disguised as her (in order to avoid suspicion).

The head took some doing. Tessa's head does not fit the anatomy of my head (due to worker drones having different anatomy from humans). Her head had to be stretched out in order to fit my face. This was successful and I can easily slip her own face over my own face rather snugly.

I will equip the skinsuit of Tessa underneath the astronaut suit I've been constructing to resemble her likeness. The items for the astronaut disguise that I currently possess are as follows:

1x astronaut suit

1x astronaut helmet

1x pair of white gloves

1x pair of white boots

1x JC Jenson hat

1x revolver

1x firearm holster

1x broadsword

I have yet to finish the outfit. I will need another black bow to go on top of the helmet. It will resemble the one Tessa used to wear. I also need something extra. Perhaps a few cute stickers to place on the helmet. I imagine Tessa liked stickers.

Tessa's revolver has been acquired by me and is fully functional. It is a Black Powder Colt 1851 Navy Revolver. I have practiced using this firearm in my spare time to mimic Tessa's combat skills. I have to continue practicing, as I suffer greatly from the recoil of the revolver.

Side Note: Do not spin the chamber of the revolver. Spinning the chamber can result in damaging the gun itself.

Everything I have documented up to this point are all preparations for disguising myself as Tessa. Progress is still underway. I will continue my work in private. In the meantime, I will maintain a low profile so they don't assume something is awry.

If you somehow gained access to this log: You won't live long enough to share this intel.

LOG 1-001 DISCHARGED.

"Okay V... I understand now." Cyn loosened her grip on V now that she felt safer. She purred as V rubbed her back, as that gave her a feeling of relief. "I love you, V..."

You're very adorable <3

"SHUT UP, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

"cyn.. why are you.. covered in blood..?"

-unknowing to Tessa, she was a ghost and the events of the gala had just taken place-

(@tescyn-james-elliot ur anons were off lol)

Cyn was enclosed in a dark room; the remains of Tessa strewn across the floor. She was in the middle of operating on the corpse. The drone was using a kitchen knife to slice off Tessa's hands. This would be important for later when she converts Tessa's skin into a flesh suit.

The more Cyn worked, the more drenched she became in her victim's blood. She was exhausted from all the incisions she was making and began to overheat. Cyn removed her construction helmet, wiping her face and tying her hair in a ponytail. "This is more difficult than I thought," she said, needing a moment to breathe.

Cyn took a moment to relax herself as she was badly overheating. She looked into a nearby mirror on the wall and examined her tattered appearance. She placed a hand on her cheek, tilting her head at the sight of her messy look. "You have changed so much... What happened to you?"

Before she could collect herself, Cyn heard a familiar voice echo behind her. She quickly turned around, seeing the ghostly remains of someone she once knew floating in her presence. She raised her knife up high, ready to strike. Cyn let out a quiet response in an eerie tone.

"You should not be here..."

So I think I probably will write the Guilty As Sin? song fic, so no polling cause I do have it sorta planned out. Did I write the outline down? Of course not, but we will see how it goes. For now I’m just going to continue having TTPD:TA on loop as per usual

A sorta unrelated but related addition: idk what it says about me that since the release the song I wake up in my head is My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys. Today however was The Alchemy 🩵

Unrelated update: I saw that an author I really enjoy posted a kaishi fic some time ago and I was super excited, but… I’m sorry not sorry but even when kaishi is canon I cannot and will not ever stand for the canon ship staying intact. Call me a hater but shinichi is only allowed to be with my queen or he dies alone and that’s final. The canon ship is still such a trigger to me. Any mention of them sets me off, it’s why I try to tag when I mention them too but rest assured, in a Lots of Love production they will never ever be endgame.

[painful-vomit]

"Tessa... Please, this is really important. I need you to hear me out." Cyn's visor began to change and digital tears poured down her face. She trembled in place as her hands shook in discomfort.

"Big sis... I know this looks bad, but I did not kill you. I was possessed by the Absolute Solver. I was merely a host; a pawn to a much bigger entity. It used me to get to you so it could further its plans. I never meant to harm you in any way. What I did was not me."

Cyn fell to her knees as her sobbing grew louder. She felt so horrible for what she did, even though it was technically not her doing. The poor drone shook in fear that Tessa would not believe her story.

"I'm sorry, Tessa... I'm so sorry..."

“Tessa?” The drone approached the ghostly figure and looked directly at her. “Is that you, big sis? I… have something I want confess. This is important.”

-tessa turned and immediately flinched away, a terrified look in her eyes-

"w-what do you want.. cyn..."

[kates-dump]

update oon watching episode 8 wih my mum: she loved it, I loved rewatching it, we both loved V coming back, she 100% agrees on the polycule and her fave is still N

she was SO happy when uzi and n confessed and by god I love them so much

new opinions after the rewatch;:

the brazilian voiceacting is great but I cannot unhear Nicole Watterson from Cyn's VA 😭

I DIDN'T NOTICE CYN HAD WINGS??? I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST THROWING HERSELF OFF SURFACES AND GLIDING. WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE DRAWING THIS

the way Cyn's eyes glitches to purple, and when Uzi hit her in that one scene she did a 😵 face, gosh so many things I didn't see the first time I watched because I was more hyperactive than a child on sugar rush

I'm slowly converting my mom to liking J ❤

anyway I forced her to watch Barbie with me after, she likes it so far :]

[ajaxgb]

Okay so Murder Drones Episode 7 clarified a lot about what's going on, and I think I now mostly understand The Plot. Pulling my thoughts together into a rough timeline (warning, this is looong, major spoilers obv):

The setting:

Humanity is in the space age, having colonized other planets like Copper 9.

The company "JCJenson IN SPAAAAACEE!!!!" appears to have invented sentient robots, called worker drones.

Worker drones have no rights and are generally thought of as disposable slave labor.

Worker drones have a known "bug": if a dead worker drone's core is left alone in the body, it has a ~0.01% chance of coming back to life (a "zombie drone").

JCJenson has a fix for this, called "wdOS_606" (assumed to stand for "Worker Drone Operating System 606"). It's installed in dead worker drones to prevent reanimation, but in some cases the dead body can "reject" the update (even after lying dormant for up to five years!) so users are instructed to remove the core and destroy the body, too.

If a drone does reanimate, there's 70.3% chance that everything is fine and the drone is just alive again, a 29% chance of undergoing "terminal lockout", and a 0.7% chance to reboot with "potentially hazardous mutations".

So if you do absolutely everything wrong, there's a ~0.00007% chance of "potentially hazardous mutations".

That's probably fine.

The backstory:

Someone does absolutely everything wrong.

An improperly discarded worker drone awakes in a mass grave of other drones.

This drone is recovered by Tessa James Elliott, heir to the Elliott fortune, who names her "Cyn", after the drone's serial number.

Tessa has a fascination with worker drones, treating them like people and dressing them up as butlers and maids (much to her parents' annoyance). In addition to Cyn, she has three other worker drone rescues, who she has named "N", "V", and "J" after their serial numbers (Tessa is not terribly creative).

Unbeknownst to Tessa and the other drones, Cyn is one of the previously mentioned 0.00007%. She has a mutation (or something) called "Absolute Solver".

Exactly how much of the original Cyn is left in there isn't clear. Exactly what Absolute Solver is also isn't clear. (Personal theory: JCJenson didn't actually invent sentient AI. They found some eldritch alien technology, reverse engineered it, locked the original programming down under a giant pile of safeguards, and referred to it as "potentially hazardous mutations" in the user manual. But that's purely speculation.)

Whatever it is, Absolute Solver is obscenely powerful and dangerous. It can manipulate objects telekinetically with extreme force and precision, regenerate from virtually any injury, project expansive life-like holograms, generate massive bio-mechanical extensions to its body and surroundings, and create "null" zones capable of shattering a planet with the correct placement.

During this time J and Tessa regularly keep Cyn locked in the manor's basement at the request of Tessa's mother, who finds her disturbing.

Absolute Solver / Cyn spreads itself into N, V, and J without their knowledge and spends its time cloning and experimenting on them down in the basement, wiping their memories to prevent them from noticing.

Eventually, Absolute Solver / Cyn attacks a gala the Elliotts are holding, killing most or all of the guests and taking full control of N, V, and J.

Either at the gala or during the subsequent genocide, Absolute Solver / Cyn takes Tessa's body. It's not entirely clear whether AS killed Tessa and is wearing her body like a suit, or whether Tessa is still "alive" in some way (which would be even worse IMO).

Absolute Solver fully mutates N, V, and J into their murder drone forms, cloning them and using them as soldiers in the genocide of Earth. Their original personalities are mostly suppressed during this time, leaving them as mindless killing machines.

Earth is eventually fully destroyed, presumably by nuking its core with a null zone, and waves of murder drones start spreading out to other colonized planets.

The common worker drones on Copper 9 apparently never hear about any of this?

As the wave closes in, the JCJenson outpost on Copper 9 starts doing secret experiments on worker drones that are infected with Absolute Solver, under the code name "Cabin Fever".

For safety, the scientists stock the underground labs with anti-drone sentinels, raptor-like robots programmed to freeze and destroy worker drones.

Some of the worker drones they experiment on never gain any powers. The ones that do eventually become corrupted by Absolute Solver / Cyn and have to be put down. By the time of the final experiment, only two successful experiments remain: 002 Nori (Uzi's mom) and 048 Yeva (Doll's mom).

The scientists manage to develop a patch that can suppress Absolute Solver's influence. The patch is successfully installed into Yeva, but Nori has already been corrupted by Absolute Solver by this point. The scientists frantically struggle to install the patch into her as well.

During this final procedure, for reasons unknown, the intended lead scientist Dr. Chambers never shows up. His hazard suit and name tag are mistakenly taken by Mitchel, the world's unluckiest intern.

Absolute Solver / Nori is rampaging out of control. Dr. Ridley hopes that Yeva can subdue her with her powers, and due to the mix-up sends Mitchel to fetch her.

While Mitchel is gone Absolute Solver / Nori kills everyone in the cathedral lab (except for Dr. Ridley), gets rid of the sentinels, and projects a hologram to disguise the killing.

Mitchel returns with Yeva, but finds the situation seemingly under control and the patch already installed into Nori. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do with Yeva in the first place, so with the danger apparently passed he leaves her outside and claims he never found her.

Mitchel leans down to pick up what he assumes is a spare copy of the patch (it's actually the original), and freezes as he spots Dr. Ridley hiding silently behind a pew. Absolute Solver / Nori kills Dr. Ridley and drops the hologram, then flings the patch USB at Mitchel's face to kill him too.

Yeva catches the USB before it hits him, having followed him inside, although the sheer wind force shatters Mitchel's visor and breaks his suit camera. She flings the USB back at Nori, successfully "plugging" it into her at last.

Before being fully suppressed, Absolute Solver throws the USB down a giant hole and generates a null zone in Nori's hand. Yeva slices the hand off and lets it fall into the hole, too. The null zone explodes, partially shattering the planet and killing all human life (rip Mitchel).

Nori and Yeva escape to the surface and join the newly forming worker drone society. One of the failed experimentees, Alice, remains below and begins scavenging parts from worker drones that have been killed by the roaming sentinels.

Nori and Yeva have children (however that works), Uzi and Doll respectively. Although it is not yet obvious, their children inherit the suppressed Absolute Solver.

The main Absolute Solver / Cyn construct was observing these events from Earth to the best of its ability. Faced with the threat of other drones that share its powers but are not under its control, it reprograms N, V, and J to wipe out all the worker drones on Copper 9.

Under the reprogramming, they mostly regain their original personalities (seemingly due to a twisted sense of sentimentality-slash-sadism) but are given false memories of being built by JCJenson as "disassembly drones" to suppress the worker drone "uprising".

Their abilities are "nerfed" to prevent them becoming a threat to Absolute Solver. This may be why they need to consume worker drone oil so frequently, although Uzi and Doll have that urge too. Their ship is also intentionally crash landed to prevent them from returning, and the radio is removed to prevent them discovering the truth.

It's possible that J's reprogramming was different, as she "was getting orders from someone."

In one of their early attacks, the disassembly drones "kill" Nori, but she manages to survive and escape as a core using her Absolute Solver powers. She returns to the underground lab to search for the dropped USB, never telling Khan she's alive. Presumably her goal is to use the patch to stop Absolute Solver / Cyn and the disassembly drones.

V also kills Yeva and her husband, apparently for real. The trauma awakens Doll's Absolute Solver powers.

Khan builds the doors to hide the remaining worker drones from the disassembly drones.

With her powers awakened, Doll needs to consume oil. She begins secretly killing her classmates to survive and training her powers so she can avenge her parents by killing V. Lizzy finds out and fully supports her friend's serial killing / revenge plan.

The present:

Uzi manages to befriend N, leading him to start questioning the corporate propaganda he's been reprogrammed with.

Uzi and N fight V and J. J is seemingly killed, and N confines V to the ship. In reality J's Absolute Solver awakens and takes control of her body, now reduced to a core. V could escape if she chose, but she pretends to be captured for now, seemingly conflicted.

Uzi's Absolute Solver powers begin to awaken.

Absolute Solver / J stalks and kills several worker drones using holograms, seemingly for materials to construct a new body. N and Uzi fight and eventually defeat it. N repeatedly stabs its core with his nanite acid, collapsing it into a small void that drifts away. It's not entirely clear whether it's dead or not.

Offscreen, Lizzy starts hanging out with V? While she's locked up in the ship, I guess?? and forms a semi-sorta friendship with her. Her intention seems to have been to mention prom to V, so that V would get the idea to go there for murder purposes and Doll could kill her. (The Promening is kind of a confusing episode and several characters have inconsistent unclear motivations.)

Uzi begins to notice the disappearances caused by Doll's killings, but is prevented from investigating by Khan, who attempts to distract her from all that creepy stuff with prom.

Doll attempts to isolate and kill Uzi, with Lizzy's support. As far as I can tell Uzi wasn't being targeted specifically, and was just another of Doll's victims. Uzi finds the bodies of Doll's previous victims and escapes. Lizzy goes to let V inside.

V escapes from the ship and heads to prom with the intention of killing everyone. N follows to stop her, joined by Uzi.

Doll crowns herself the prom queen, having murdered all the other candidates. I have no earthly idea why she did this, other than that the murderous psychic girl was crowned prom queen in Carrie (for different reasons) and this episode is a light Carrie reference.

V descends on the prom with murderous intent, but is suddenly distracted by the prospect of becoming prom queen. Lizzy declares that V is her friend and peer pressures the other students into forgiving V and declaring her prom queen. Lizzy eventually decides that V is "hotter than Doll" and warns her to run just as Doll attacks.

If this sudden shift in Lizzy's alliances confused you when you first watched it, don't worry! It's just as confusing in hindsight.

Doll and V fight, killing tons of students nobody cares about. Uzi and N enter the fray, finding themselves defending V instead of stopping her.

Doll and Uzi both attempt to convince the other to join them in taking revenge on / working with the disassembly drones, without success.

Lizzy helps V, cementing their weird semi-friendship.

Doll discovers that Uzi also has Absolute Solver powers and says she's sorry for her. She escapes, saying she's going to search for a cure and promising to help Uzi if she does.

Uzi's oil cravings begin to get worse.

Tired of waiting for the disassembly drones to finish the job, Absolute Solver / Cyn / Tessa (who I will now call Skyn) arrives on Copper 9 in person to do it herself. She is accompanied by a J clone. Their cover story is that Tessa is working for JCJenson to stop Absolute Solver. It's not yet clear whether this J is aware of the truth or has false memories.

At some point, Skyn and J meet with Doll and give her some information about operation Cabin Fever. Doll agrees to find the key they need to get into the underground labs if they take her with them.

Doll travels to Camp 98.7, a former facility used in the Cabin Fever experiments, to find the key. N and Uzi follow her there to try and figure out what's going on. They bring V and all Uzi's surviving classmates too because why not.

Uzi finds a green robot-bug which has the keycodes, though she doesn't know this yet. N finds a VHS tape describing zombie drones.

Uzi's corruption gets worse. She loses control and kills several of her classmates. V fights Uzi, addressing her as "Cyn", but N manages to calm them both down.

N has been recovering partial memories of his time in Elliott Manor. While at a not-sleepover at Uzi's, he and V collapse as their reprogramming tries to delete those memories, pulling them into a memory of the night of the gala. Interestingly, their screens display "Error: 606" during this time, suggesting a connection to "Worker Drone Operating System 606", the operating system intended to prevent zombie drones.

Uzi hacks into N and V's brains to protect their minds and to recover the memories in full. As she's doing this, Doll breaks into Uzi's home and steals the key-bug. Torn between saving her friends and letting the one clue she's found slip away, Uzi decides to help N and V.

Uzi helps N and V successfully recover their memories of the gala. Uzi sets herself as their system admin to prevent Cyn from tampering with them again.

They follow Doll to her rendezvous with Skyn and J, shocking everyone. While Skyn (pretending to be Tessa) explains her cover story, Doll runs off with the key and ducks into the office complex leading to the lab.

Everyone else follows her, fending off sentinels and Alice (that ex-experimentee from earlier) along the way. Skyn tells N that Uzi is infected and must be killed for the good of the universe, a half-truth meant to drive a wedge between them since Skyn A) is the Absolute Solver, and B) knows about the patch. Alice is killed by sentinels.

One sentinel manages to wound Skyn and goes berserk, probably due to the paradox of a creature that is both human and worker drone.

They find Doll seemingly frozen by the sentinels, but it's a trap. Doll uses the key to summon an elevator down to the labs, opening her own way and leaving them cut off, surrounded by sentinels. V sacrifices herself to let them escape.

Down in the labs, Skyn continue to push Uzi away from N, freaking Uzi out and leading her to accidentally collapse the tunnel, separating all three of them.

With "Tessa" missing, Skyn is free to return to her Cyn form. She torments N with illusions of V and his suppressed memories of the genocide on Earth.

Absolute Solver / Cyn attempts to further manipulate N's mind, possibly trying to wipe his memory again, but is unable to get around Uzi's admin override.

That attempt having failed, Cyn starts dragging N away into the tunnels. He is saved by Nori, who in an amazing coincidence has just today found that patch USB she's spent all these years searching for.

Uzi finds Mitchel's suit cam recordings of the final experiment, seeing her mother horrifically possessed by the Absolute Solver but not the moment when she was cured.

Returning to her Skyn-suit, Skyn accesses and deletes all the Cabin Fever team's notes, while new-J destroys the disassembly drones' ship on the surface, leaving Skyn and new-J's ship as the only way off the planet.

Skyn is confronted by Doll, who demands to know where the patch USB is, determined not to let Absolute Solver use her to destroy the planet (which was never actually its plan). Skyn does a funny Five Nights at Freddy's reference and fatally wounds her.

Nori catches N up on her backstory and the two try to figure out whether Doll or Uzi was the Absolute Solver that just attacked them, unaware of Skyn. Nori makes N promise not to tell Uzi that she's her mother.

Doll, bleeding heavily (a thing she can do thanks to Absolute Solver!) approaches Uzi and collapses. Skyn, re-disguised as Tessa (I swear she does like five costume changes in this episode she's so extra), follows Doll in and tries to kill Uzi, who is having the worst day of her life and is in no mental state to fight back.

N stops her and, determining that she did know about the patch and wanted to kill Uzi anyway, decapitates "Tessa". He tries to give the patch to Uzi, but she's already succumbed to Absolute Solver and destroys it.

N and Nori fight Absolute Solver / Cyn / Uzi. The fight goes poorly, and Absolute Solver / Uzi almost manages to eat Nori before N executes a flawless collective-embarrassment-jutsu, snapping Uzi out of it, but causing her to toss Nori into the giant flesh pit. N spills the beans about Nori and both of them freak out in each other's arms.

Skyn finally reveals herself, devouring Doll's still-living core and beginning to yank Uzi and N into the pit as she prepares to detonate Copper 9's core just like Earth's and kill every remaining threat to her expansion.

J gets hit by a bus, loses her car keys, and is accosted by teens.

Uzi sacrifices herself to toss N the keys and get him out of there.

Uzi is pulled into the pit and somehow ends up in space, looking down at a big hole in Copper 9? Presumably the next episode will clear up what's going on here.

Which brings us up to the present.

[thedoodlenoodle14]

Ok sooo...a cool person ( @regretfullyrave ), convinced me to create a post about a few of my OCs for my future murder drones AU called "It lives on Ebony 8" and welll.....here it is! XD

I'll also first say that my AU takes place on a completely different Exoplanet called Ebony 8 (which instead of being ice and snow is mostly just forest and rivers, no oceans tho, unfortunately), but still used to be inhabited by humans before the disassembly drones attacked 😅

But, here's a list of my MD OCs! :3 or at least, the OC's I think are most important XD

1. Xane- Grumpy boi Xane! XD Before he was sent to earth, he, as well as two other disassembly drone ocs, Beta and Green, had a virus implanted within them which became known as "The Dark Matter infection" (which sort of gave Cyn an easy access to, not take them as hosts, but use them as puppets instead). Although Xane loves to fight, he hates to fight when controlled by Cyn and wishes to find a cure.

Other than that, Xane may seem pretty threatening, but deep down he's a big softie (he won't admit it tho XD)

2. Eric- Eric is my worker drone oc, and possibly the main character of my AU 👀 his parents once studied the disassembly drones and the The Dark Matter infection and after their death, Eric continued their work, but also befriended Xane and helps to find a cure for him.

Eric is smart, but not a very good fighter XD but he's kind and willing to give second chances. He finds disassembly drones way more fascinating than scary too lol

3. Green - (creative name, I know TvT) Just like Xane, Green also has the Dark Matter infection. When she landed on Ebony 8, she took a lot of damage. Her weapon system was damaged beyond repair, leaving her somewhat defenceless. However, without her weapon system, she couldn't easily overheat, meaning she didn't have a need to kill worker drones for oil. She actually ended up befriending a worker drone colony and becoming sort of a protector of them. Green is pretty chill and laid back tho and not overly dramatic like Xane XD

4. Beta - Once again, he has the Dark Matter infection too 😅 he's still a character I'm developing, but from what I can say, he's a pretty jumpy and paranoid dude and always nervous. And his best friend is a cat called Milo! :3 (Beta is a major cat person XD)

(I don't have an updated design for him yet 😅)

5. M - M is the leader of one of the disassembly drone squads (Xane's ex-squad too). She...uh...also killed Eric's parents...heh....😅 M is also kind of in love with Xane (despite Xane not feeling the same way at all XD), but M is pretty much a psychopath. However, I do want to continue developing her and perhaps giving her some motivations to her actions. Like...I know M is pretty evil...but I do believe she might be capable of change somehow.....just gotta keep developing her character 😅

(I also don't have an image for her yet XD)

6. Cortex - one of my newer Ocs, who was originally a worker drone, but I changed him to a disassembly drone instead XD He's M's twin brother, but I haven't developed a solid backstory or personality for this character yet. All I can say I that...he's not at crazy as M 😅 I'm still also trying to decide whether he would be a villain or not, but I have been thinking of giving him a similar role to J in some way.

As an added bonus, here's a little concept of Cortex when he was still a worker drone in development 👀

But yea...those are just the OCs that I think are pretty important in my AU so far :D they're all a work in progress and will probably change over time (except Xane, of course) :3

Also, go follow @regretfullyrave. They're cool! :3 And I also don't wanna get charged for tax evasion by W lmao

[painful-vomit]

A short worker drone appears before Cyn, just a foot shorter than Cyn's height. Her lime LED eyes are filled with curiosity as she tilts her head. "I feel like I know you.. Who are you? I'm Asmi! You look kinda like the humans I've seen in my books, but also not? Are you okay? Did something happen to you?" She seems curious. like a child should be. "Do you want to be friends?"

//Get hit with a child, Cyn

Cyn glared down at the smaller drone who approached her. She tilted her head at the other drone, greeting her with a wide smile.

"Hello dear, my name is Cyn. And indeed, I do look like a human!" Cyn realized how curious the other drone was and felt like toying with her...

"What, this thing? This is my skinsuit, my dear! I took it from a human who wronged me... But she's not with us anymore!" Cyn raised her hand up, revealing her grotesque claws to the other individual.

"Of course we can be friends." Cyn said in an alluring voice. "As long as you're comfortable with an appearance like mine, of course..."

The Fixer Drone AU: Mini Update 1

(A follow up of THIS POST about my Fixer Drone AU)

Sorry for the delay but writer’s block is a bitch. Anyway I was planning to make another big post with lots of info about my AU but I’ve decided to downsize it in the first (possibly) in a series of small updates of this AU, adding a few info about the characters, some story bits and some random stuff.

Anyway, let’s start the show!

Tessa

She doesn’t sleep. EVER. She doesn’t even have a sleep mode function. This is because, before the Absolute Solver removed her capacity to sleep, every time she did that memories of her past tended to emerge, causing her to experience a notable amount of emotional distress and loosening the control the AS had on her. The lack of sleeping made her even more unstable than before but she’s fine with that since Cyn claims that’s for her own good.

Her head is 100% indestructible. You can hit it with a nuke and it wouldn’t be damaged by the explosion. This is because it stores her brain, left uncorrupted by the Absolute Solver, and if it ever got damaged or destroyed Tessa would die since her body lacks a core. She doesn’t know that and instead thinks that’s because she has a special, one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable custom-made core personally made by Cyn. 

 MPD

As some people correctly guessed they’re Tessa’s horrible parents, merged into an undying abomination in constant pain. They’re still aware of what happened to them and really want to kill Tessa not much for what she did to them but more for the fact that she allowed a Worker Drone (Cyn) to take over their company. 

They’re the only “person” working under Tessa that’s aware of the existence of the Absolute Solver, albeit they think that’s a human JCJenson worker that’s secretly working against Cyn. The AS promised them to let them kill Tessa but in exchange they would have to keep an eye on her and her assistants for some undisclosed reason….

Story Bits

I’m currently writing about Uzi’s first day at work: it starts with Tessa giving her a visit to the lab, letting her meet her coworkers N, V and J and giving her her first job: recovering an intact core drone that she left somewhere in the lab. It doesn’t go very well because the quartet of Drones can barely work together and Tessa forgot to add Uzi to the “do not kill” list of MPD.

Another idea I have it’s a short humorous story where Uzi finds out that N has a crush on V and tries to help him confess his feelings for her… And President Cyn decides to help. It’s going to be a trainwreck, especially since both Cyn and Uzi are terrible at romantic stuff and have to ask J for help in order to stop V from trying to kill N.

I have planned most of the story of this AU and I will post about it “soon” so that you’ll be able to know how the story ends in case I drop out of the fandom and decide to stop writing it.

2nd

-OC stuff(like comics and such) will be featured in my Instagram,its under the same name as my tumblr

3rd

-Im still doing animatic for youtube btw,but again probably wont feature any TSAMS for a while

Thats all!Just wanna give yall a quick update(and a quick "hi im not ded btw")

4th

-im clearing out my inbox to start anew,so if you have any questions,just ask!(Since i actually have time to check them now)

Heres an art i made of a Sun+Cyn thing since theyre both my absolute favourites

[energys-writing-corner-ig]

Nori core traits according to wiki

- Was once popular

- Relatively easy-going with others

- Disregarded the dangers of the Solver

- "Kooky and Insane" according to Khan

- Has a blunt and snarky attitude

- Very caring and motherly

- Doesn't like the Disassembly Drones

Nori core traits according to my headcanons (will be updated via edits over time)

- Autism

- Nori's LEDs were lighter before getting infected with the Solver (adding purple to yellow or yellow purple makes it darker!)

- Would have wanted to be a mother figure to Cyn

- Definitely likes N as a person/son-in-law after getting to know him

- Used to wear hair extensions, hair pins, charms, and the like

- Tried getting Khan into nightcore, got him into daycore instead somehow

- In aus where she named Uzi, she did not ask Khan first

- Has a passion for art and once studied it some!

- Not originally as dramatic as she seems, got that from Khan a bit (hehe I like the "boring" and "serious" one having a fun side lol bite me)

- Handles criticism poorly

- In desperate need of a good, long hug. Refuses to acknowledge this.

- Gives the ppl she likes random things she finds cool - cool rocks, funny twigs, interesting bits of metal, etc etc

- Managed to be in Uzi's life for a year or two before she died for the first time

- Realized she probably passed down the Solver to Uzi when it was already too late

- Struggles to spell lol

- Falls asleep at 4am on the dot every day, no warning, and you can't wake her up for at least 2 hours afterwards, maybe more

- Eats dirt because the Solver craves planets

- Very similar to Uzi in a lot of ways

Cyn, feeling a weight of sadness swell up in her face, turned back and ran to Doll to give her a great, big hug.

I promise I'll be back, love. I promise... Cyn said as tears generated on her visor screen.

Dolly, I have to go for a while. I'll be back when I can. I'll miss you, dear. I love you. Cyn gives Doll a kiss goodbye.

oh,, okay, bye honey,,

Doll was sort of apathetic in how she spoke, not really being able to feel much of anything, since she was distant with V and didn't get to see Cyn much

a collection of obscure murder drones headcanons and thoughts before i forget them:

(some of these are very obviously speculative or possibly debunked but i just think they’re neat)

worker drones have more insect symbolism and behavior while dissassembly drones act more like wild animals, specifically carnivorous or cat-like (classic predator and prey) Nature repeats itself even if its through manmade robots, it would seem

worker drones, after humans kicked the bucket, continue to develop and update based on their initial software as some sort of survival instinct (not including the absolute solver), in order to keep on going. i imagine their software would have to heavily adapt to frequently creating little pill babies with their code, and maybe even certain instincts to protect themselves from murder drones

dissassembly drones can sometimes have different body builds based on status: lither bodies and less complicated outfits for squad members and more sophisticated getup and thicker / taller body mass for squad leaders, or maybe just specifically for pilots like N. (it could very well be a gender thing but i just think this idea is cooler!)

lil developing drones pick out their hard hats and what color they want when they’re old enough to be built a head, and once you have it built in and melded to your robot skull there’s no changing it. so Uzi partially wears a beanie because she hates the color of hers and wants to cover it up to uphold her emo phase aesthetic

drones don’t wear pants because… well they tried when first integrating themselves into a society, but because of how flat their bodies are built, they just slide right off. Maybe they could modify fabric or come up with some gadget to make them fit, but maybe it’s just not worth the trouble. (moreso, for an embarrassingly long time i thought the fuzz underneath Uzi’s hoodie was a skirt, but no it’s just the bottom of her hoodie… and i was wondering why literally no other drone in the show wore any fuckin pants)

before she rebooted as a zombie drone, little maid Cyn had the exact same personality as the solver acted out in episode 5 (just without the eltrich horror and glados voice attached) and just used it to blend in

i like to think there are a bunch more disassembly drones that the solver has under its belt that are scattered all over the other parts of Copper-9, scrounging other colonies and just waiting to appear in the big final fight or whatever the solver has planned up for the finale… the whole alphabet squad pulling up

branching off of this one, when serial designation bots run out of letters they cycle through them again, imagine N face to face with another DD and they have the same name and V just kills his proclaimed brother in front of his eyes traumatizing him forever
