Nuzi - Say My Name (comic strip)

The promised fluff has arrived! Ft. hand holding! I'm so normal about these too. Why are they so cute together!? Lol. Enjoy & feel free to let me know what you think!

Tessa fucks me up dude can I just talk about her for a sec? Yeah? Yeah.

She loved those drones. She loved them because they were what she had. She felt sympathy for them when nobody else did. And I like to think there was a little bit of loneliness motivating her as well.

Her mother hated her. She was nothing to her. When her mother scolded her by saying "seems you still can't follow simple orders" her respone was "No, no no! Please!" BEGGING. Begging her mother to believe in her and be kind to her. She got chained up in her room (multiple times btw. At leas tthats implied. the hand she winced at and rubbed is the same hand the chain was on, which means shed be chained up long enough for it to rub her skin painfully. long enough to leave lasting pain.)

She is very connected to these drones, to the point where she kept all the error drones aroud because she LOVED them. She spent time digging them up. HELL SHE TOOK A FAMILY PHOTO WITH THEM DUDE...

Even when Cyn was creepy and scary, she kept her around. She'd rather lock Cyn up than get rid of her. and when n points it out, shes apologetic and hesitant. But we know WHY she did that. Even if it was kind of a sucky move, it was because she didnt wanna have to throw cyn out. and in the end that killed her.

Also she knows J well enough to know what sets her off (enough to. bite the shit out of a chain). She knows them. and she loves them.

I wish we'd gotten to know more about her an N. why is he so clearly her favorite? but thats not relevant ig

also her saying "I've only ever yakked to robots, J!" She has NO human friends. she has nobody to support her other than these robots. these robots who get treated like garbage by her family.

and then she has to watch these robots turn on her. Not just THESE ROBOTS but the three that she loved most. (also im going off what wouldve happened in ep 5 WITHOUT uzi, where n doesnt get out of the swamp, and nobody goes down to the basement)

V first, then Cyn, then J. And we KNOW she loved these three+N especially bc she took a family photo w them, interacted with them more often, and generally just seemed much closer with them.

and what does she get for it? killed. And also its implied by this screenshot that she wasnt ACTUALLY killed by cyn right then

(the scientists, the sword beside her, the footprints, the way shes sitting against the wall, the expression she has. she totally just saw all that shit)

and she cant have been skyn bc the scientists wouldve known. the skinsuit wasnt exactly. hm. pretty.

which means she DID see her whole family+more slaughtered in front of her while she was powerless to stop it. She DID see J violently kill everyone around her. She DID see Cyn kill everyone. And she just has to. Deal with that. And despite all her efforts, the solver took over and cyn killed her. (im assuming tessa died somewhere around when n's mineshaft flashback was like i mentioned b4)

and all the while she was convinced shed lose N, id assume. based on the state of the other drone out there.

And honestly, i think what she got was worse.

also i am team "N knew Tessa wasn't the same Tessa he knew back on Earth"

The way he looked at her, and the way he was suspicious of her. He knew HIS Tessa would never treat a drone like this. Cyn has been known to have relatively shitty recreations of people at times (like Thad in episode two) But even so there was no way he could believe it was someone else (like. who would it be? he saw her blood he heard her voice like...) which is why he was so stressed after killing her (when he leaned on his sword and was breathing heavy, yk?)

he loved her and she loved him and now shes dead. just like everyone else he loved.

this isnt about n but like. idk if tessa could see him now i think shed cry. she loved him and all of them

Ok so, current working timeline is that's about ~1500 years post canon events, (subject to change should the need arise) at minimum, 3-5 generations have come and gone, so it's really a matter of how long we think the average worker drone could live (probably depends on how long it would take for their hard drives, battery, or motherboards to fail)

no way Uzi, N, and V wouldn't do anything in that time. They did save the planet, so maybe they just chilled for a couple decades. But 1500 years? Uzi Doorman isn't going to sit still for that long

Maybe they did some exploring, went to other planets the solver destroyed to assess the damage, kept an eye out for stray worker drones and abandoned spaceships, maybe tried to fix up Copper 9 a little

all this to say, they 100% went to the dog planet at some point and brought a bunch back, and now there are a lot of dogs running around in the snow. I don't know how much the environment could heal in that amount of time, so they could very well be the only animals there at the moment

Partially Venting but The Murder Drones fandom needs to remember:

N is not some soft innocent can-do-no-wrong puppyboy. He is just as efficient of a killer as his squadmates. He also didn't hesitate to decapitate what he thought was his 'mother' when she was about to kill Uzi.

Cyn is not just a 'silly' drone with funny quirks + an eldritch horror inside her programming. She is manipulative and cunning (albeit the line between Cyn and Solver is blurry for this) and knows how to get under peoples skin (in more ways then one).

Uzi is not just some angsty teen with no further character than 'edge'. She is a child who was raised by a grieving father and an outcast from her peers who seeks to find at least one person who cares about her.

J is not solely some corporate bootlicker. She is a suck-up because she is terrified of her 'boss', and her way of coping is to try and play along and hope her 'boss' keeps their word.

V is not only a hot-headed, psycho-diva, she is just as terrified as J but cares more about N than exclusively herself. Her facade is to try and keep N from causing more harm from learning the truth and to play along so her 'boss' won't murder them again.

I feel like the community, whether on purpose or just for shitposting, tends to forget these characters have a lot of depth to them and their actions, even if the show doesn't always make it clear.

mermay means:

🦑Abyss AU🦑

disassembly drone edition

[banyanas]

Md finale thoughts/spoilers but I to quite like the progression of realization from ‘is the absolute solver spreading itself to have more hosts?’ to ‘oh cyn-solver isn’t spreading the virus on purpose’ to ‘cyn-solver is actively hunting down other solver drones that aren’t her own Disassembler “worker bees” (as seen with Nori’s notes in e7)’.

it makes sense that she’s hunting the others down- they’re not potential backup hosts, they’re rival “queens”, and I say that very much in the eusocial insect way. She always knew there was a possibility that another solver drone could become the new primary host as soon as she was able to possess the Unethical Test Subjects (trademarked) via sharing the Absolute Solver. Kind of a double edged blade? More eyes and hands to possess and work through by possessing them, but always with the possibility one of the “maiden queens” would win out in a physical confrontation over the metaphorical crown. (Which is exactly what happened when V and N stopped doing their murder jobs).

Anyway drones is bugs and always has been i fuckin knew it

[kazooiesart]

vampire refs!!! prolly just gonna start calling it "what we do on copper 9" lmao

hi heres art so you pay attention to me now go read the tags

Ok I just thought of a mix of the Ghost Drone and Monster N AUs, where after N kills Uzi and is recovering from the blast is when he undergoes the transformation. Would Bea be scared of N in this form or would she not mind it?

In the Ghost Drone, Beanie is a baby boots up the exact same day N wakes up in the medical wing (December 8th, 3074). In the N's A Monster AU, his transformation into a monster is a lot more gradual than you'd think. Look, here's a rare look into Monster N's growth.

The transformation officially stops when he and Uzi reunite in Episode 3, forcing his body to realize there was never any physical damage to begin with. N is permanently like this; he will never be able to "change back" or return to "normality," even when damaged or forced to heal again. This is how his body looks now, whether he likes it or not.

In this combined AU, N would most likely never stop transforming.

Based off a "bad ending" take on the N's A Monster AU, he would continue to grow and change until either his systems give out, or until he's so large and monstrous and full of pain that he can barely move, meaning he can't gather material anymore. He'd even eat Beanie in a guilt-ridden attempt to sate his auto-repair... which would only make things worse instead.

BUT IF WE WERE TO GO IN A HAPPIER AND LESS HORRIFIC ROUTE, which was the direction you were probably expecting me to go in the first place, N would have been like this for all four years of Beanie's existence. For all she knows, that's just how he looks.

He's still her daddy, y'know.

Nuzi - N's Haiku (comic strip)

A small little poetic angst because why not? Protective_Boyfriend.exe=true/ . Keep her safe in the next upcoming episodes whenever we get them. Hopefully soon. (I hate being left on cliff hangers honestly. Lol.)

Let me know what you think!

I also have commissions open. Prices and rules are pinned at the top of my blog!

A Reddit user named Summer sent me an art request for their delightfully designed drone named Dizzy. Even with a few hardware and software damage due an incomplete repair run, Dizzy still likes to collect things and has attempt to form bonds with others, but communication can be a bit difficult due to vocal distortion.

I hope I captured their upbeat personality, and maybe slightly clumsiness due to their disrepair and nonworking tail? Seems like a tripping hazard.

Also I have come to the conclusion that the series and fandom for Murder Drones is great for art because:

Body proportions easy to place because mostly spheres and cones.

An abundant of OCs that want to be drawn.

Can practice shading and its teeth grinding bc of the simple shapes shapes.

Cluttered or industrial or office mundane items is more fun to draw than organized stuff.

Easy subject to place on a scene or room. Meaning I can practice perspective.

Harsh light acceptable.

I also get to draw some dystopian and industrial stuff.

one more khori thought before i pass out dramatically

do you think after they reunited they didnt immediately go back to happy married couple who are absolutely in love but kinda acted like awkward high schoolers who have the fattest crushes on one another and its incredibly obvious to everyone except them even though theyre both in their 40s and married

why? why not my brain works wonders

They were like awkward teens and Uzi keep complaining about it like "you two are literally married, why are you acting like this over holding hands?!"

She then proceeds to act the exact same way as them when N holds her hand

V has to witness this all and is dying inside the entire time
