#md keybug

[velvet-vox]

So, does anyone remember that so called "Doll critique" post that I've been mentioning on and off for a while now?

Well, let's just say that, over time, that project grew a LITTLE in size...

I've been writing ideas and arguments for it on and off for a while now, for almost a year, and the content for it just kept getting BIGGER and BIGGER...

To the point where I'm now making a 2/3/4 hour long video that may actually be longer than the show itself.

However, the one problem I have with that is...

I've never made a YouTube video in my life, so I could really use some help, since the level of polish that I am aiming for is around the likes of Randomalistic's 2 hour long King Candy video, although probably not as clean-cut, considering the amount of stuff I want to say and my lack of experience.

A mutual of mine told me to start with Clipchamp as a starting editing program, and I'll be sure to try that out, but if anyone else has some tips to give me I am open to hearing them out, in particular, I'd like it if someone recommended me a good microphone to buy, as I want my voice to sound good while I talk.

In general, anything you say to me could be extremely useful, as I'm an absolute rookie.

If you have any arguments that you'd like to see covered inside it, just send them to me; I'll give a shout-out at the end of the video to all the people that helped me realise this project, as well as inspired me to make it in the first place.

I'd also ask permission from some of you to use their artwork in my video, so the final shout-out will also serve as a thank you to the artists for their beautiful projects.

I feel like I have very important things to say about the subject matter, and I hope that this video could help the community get a more unified view of the character, even if not anything I'm going to say should be taken as fact.

One final thing: don't expect the video to come out anytime soon, it may take me even more than 2 years to get it out, so, if you are hoping that the release of the video may fulfill some deeply craving desire inside your soul in the immediate moment, I'm afraid that's not going to be possible.

Originally, this was just meant to be a critique of Doll's character, that had a rather bleak and depressing concluding argument that I felt was true for how the character was treated and how it was most likely going to be treated moving forward; but after some reconsideration, I realised that there was a far more optimistic view to be had for Doll's legacy, and I felt like the sad ending wasn't fitting anymore.

And as I kept writing this project's stuff on and off for a while now, to the point of turning it into a video, I realised that I didn't want this to be just a critique anymore.

This is going to be a Tribute.

An Analysis, a Retrospective, a Public Execution,

It's going to be at the very least 1 hour of Doll Talk, meant to give everybody's favourite Russian cannibal the recognition and defamation that she fricking deserves.

I hope to have interested someone in the idea.

Also, here's a drawing I wanted to show off.

Originally, I was going to put it at the end of said post, but since the project has been canned in favour of a video, I'm putting it here instead.

Headcanon: almost all keybugs have names

(nori and Alice got bored)

Lol definitely - some of the roachbots too! :3

[false-savior]

OC a day (or not) #2: Terra (previously known as Bia) by u/evanarjayy aka @evanostic

[wilko222]

key bug!

you're alive!

[thecosmiccrow]

This honestly feels like any solver infected drone with the robo roaches

:(

[sisterpaw125]

Room of Thad, Uzi and Keybug

First bedroom of my AU! Since the base is small everybody has to share with someone. And of course Thad and Uzi got put together ;)

I played around a lot with the decor and authenticity of the room, since on one hand we got a sporty, popular, sunshine of a jock, and on the other we got an angsty, socially distant, anime lover, outcast. But in the end, the "2 by 2" divide became the best solution.

Also, Keybug finally got the treatment it deserves :3

(Not sure if it's just me, but for some reason my laptop dims the colours a lot so they look very forceful on different devices

I'm not sure how to fix, If I should fix, this issue in the first place.)

[zipp-ey]

she knows everything

[xoerun]

Ok OK hear me out instead of disassembly drone tessa or just worker drone tessa or data ghost tessa aus, why not something like keybug tessa that could be fun

[lilywily143]

Solver Swap!

Keybug 🔄 Solver

Tw Bugs

The solver is now a tiny little millipede

The solver meeting Kelsey for the first time

And now, the keybug is... The Adviser and they make Adviser Drones

They have the perfect angler lure attentta like the canon solver's holograms

And how the Adviser works in a visual manner in the visor

Enjoy @lovelyheartclover!!

[personalshredder]

That's also a good fuckin point. Md community we need to talk about how "Tessa" lands on Copper-9 with J and promptly decides to remove the suit and stalk Uzi for a day for shits and giggles????

Or maybe idk she needed a leisurely stroll about the abandoned wilderness before it was murder time

Wth is girly doing here

Maybe looking for keybug?????

I feel like the md community doesn't ever talk about the fucking episode four cabin hand like

What the hell's up with that

[totoka2]

Bunch of Cynessa and MD keybug sona drawings/doodles

[therantingsage]

Anyone wanna hear my Super Serious md ep8 sentinel theory?

actually don't ask I'm sharing it anyway

Keybug ratatouie. Sparky is chill because the Keybug is ratatouie-ing it. The sentinel never met Lizzy before this episode but the Keybug probably saw her at camp so therefore Sparky's beef with Lizzy is actually the Keybug's beef.

That's also part of the reason it's got Beau's hat on. To hide in. Because these roaches are fragile as hell.

I'm being fr btw I know this comes off as comical but I'm being so fr

[stormtheskyelf2]

Have any vore headcanons for Doll from Murder Drone?

Hmm...

I think Doll would be a great Pred! If she actually enjoys your company, that is.

She wouldn't be above digestion/reformation if it's someone who she doesn't like but doesn't hate either- just to give them a lil scare before spitting them back out.

I don't think she has any actual friends in the MD universe other than Lizzy for a short moment (which I don't think was really real) or MAYBE Uzi, but I don't see the two together as buddies so you can cancel out any sort of "friend-noms" or any of that.

I do have a character. ai vore bot for her tho, you're supposed to be the Keybug- (check my info post for the links!)

But I also think she'd be a nervous prey, but also a maybe willing one? If she knows she's been defeated she'd rather give up and take it- or in this case, if she's dragged out of her body and eaten alive (ep 7 I see u), she's as nervous as could be, so yeah nervous.

But I LOVE the idea of Uzi eating Doll once they catch Doll again. If Doll manages to feel emotions- lol- I would think that Doll feels guilty not only because oh no, I lost, but also because she may or may not have caused a lot of trouble-

[premamelody]

oh yeah au update new mythos section in works. basically lion that eats sun but instead it's crow eat moon okayyy

I was gonna say sector update but sector 3 was built around J and you knowwww ykkkkkk

I'm crying

last time you'll see MD happy future tag bc it's changing aw yeah

uh

I still don't got a name

maybe this won't be the last time

anyways I think it's important for me to put out update road map

yes I am back and actually adding to the au after a while I hyperfixate extremely strongly. that's grammar right

for now:

Mythology/Symbols of Heroes

Family Portaits (Post-Unity)

Non-Humanoid Drone life (keybugs, etc. yes there's more)

Climate & Biomes (present in AU, it has been changing)

as soon as i configure J's placement and slight changes:

Main Chs Chart (Post-Unity)

Completed Timeline

Sectors

Complete Characters (Post-Unity)

Sector Drawings and Notable Events

hopefully I get to all of this before I get into something else

My MD AU shipkids: A slightly more detailed list.

N x V :

Crumbles/Crumbs [formerly Castiel] -

N and V's eldest son. Disassemblers, like Workers, start their lives in the egg-pod state, and eventually "hatch" after a few weeks of external incubation, where they age and grow similarly to humans. Crumbs looks like V, but has the sweet and goofy personality of his father.

Biscuit, their daughter, was born a few months after her brother hatched. Much to Uzi's disapproval, V was already carrying Biscuit's core while she was nesting with Crumbs and waiting for him to hatch. Biscuit is a perfect mesh of both of her parent's appearances, but tends to act more like her mother.

Uzi x Thad:

Basil - Uzi and Thad's oldest son. He looks exactly like Thad and it scares his dad sometimes. Major mama's boy. Despite having half of his coding and personality from Uzi, he's surprisingly calm. While hatching, Basil refused to leave his shell and wouldn't move until Uzi held him.

Soto - Secondborn. There's a two-year age gap between Basil and Soto. Soto, similarly to Basil, looks like Thad [minus the eyes], but has a bit more of his mother's temper. Soto is the only offspring of Uzi and Thad to display leftover traits of the solver [he's got teeny tiny wings.]

Beretta + Sear - The twins were Uzi and Thad's last attempt to have a daughter [who Thad promised Uzi could name after a gun.] Unfortunately for Uzi, Thad and Lizzy both have a higher chance of producing twin cores. Sear was an oops. Beretta is a carbon copy of Uzi, right down to her love of making clueboards. [Thad is scared. He should be.] Sear managed to get a mixture of both of her parent's appearances, but is more shy and quiet than Beretta. Sear is usually attached to Thad's hip, she's a daddy's girl.

Basil, Beretta and Sear all got the purification strand of the solver via Thad.

Doll x Lizzy:

Suriva + Valentina - Twins, the only two children Doll and Lizzy ever wanted. Suriva is mute [she can speak, she just doesnt want to], and communicates with a little roach keybug that she has adopted. Valentina is essentially a clone of Lizzy with Doll's looks, right down to Lizzy's fashion sense. Suriva is the opposite, looking like Lizzy, but being the quiet and reserved sister. Suriva can and will kill you.

Suriva is a solver carrier, passed down by Doll. Valentina was spared and got the purification strand of the solver via Lizzy

Darren x Rebecca x Emily:

Hollyn -

After Sam was killed during the Cabin Fever field trip, Rebecca and Darren added her to their relationship, knowing that she needed someone to love and lean on after losing her partner. The three share a genuine bond, and Darren loves his girlfriends.

With this, Hollyn is a physical mesh of all three of her parents. Since Rebecca's core was damaged by Uzi, she lost the ability to carry a droneling core, meaning Emily carried the three's child. Hollyn is a booknerd, but got Rebecca's sass, and Darren's...well, being darren. She and Valentina meet up on tuesdays to geek out over books they found from the old human library.

Zara x Tessa:

Carmine -

After taking out the cause of the Elliot Family's curse, Carmine was created thanks to the miracle of JcJenson and their science experiments. Zara and Tessa each gave a sample of their DNA, and once a stable egg was created, Zara aggreed to be the one to carry her. She's got Tessa's auburn hair and Zara's freckles, and loves everything about drones just like her parents. Tessa and Zara agreed that her middle name was to be "Louise" as a nod to her grandmother.

Reese: A leftover droneling from an abandoned company project, Reese was set to be disassembled, but was saved by Tessa. He was raised alongside Carmine, and while he knows he's a different species than his sister, they may as well both be human. Reese was given the middle name "James", similarly to his sister, as a respect to his grandfather.

Carmine picked up drone habits from Reese, such as attempting to sleep upside-down on their bunk beds, and Reese had to learn the hard way that he can't constantly eat human food like Carmine [it makes his tummy hurt :(]

J x Sive:

Ren - The eldest and only daughter of the two.

After being reunited with her long-lost girlfriend, J and Sive rekindled their relationship on copper-9, and came together to have a child.

J was the one that carried Ren, and it was the first time anyone had ever seen J be soft and loving.

Ren looks soft and sweet like Sive, but is just as militant and demanding as J. She looks up to both of her mothers, but is usually trailing behind and attached to J's hip. [She wont admit it, but she likes getting approval and snuggles from both of her moms.]
