Let's talk about our love for Drones! Or the Eldtrich Abominations, or the Humans, or anything Murder Drones related. I love Drones. Also, the last thread did this so I will. The last thread: >>466395 The Booru: https://dronebooru.co
>>468362 Love the artist you chose for the OP, nice work anon. >>468367 I noticed this too, it's pretty annoying. Thankfully the first thread is already on page 2
>>468362 Thank you for the new thread Smilefriend! >>468367 Yeah I noticed that last thread. If I had to guess it's probably to keep duplicate images from taking up server space
reposting from /trash/ What would happen to Dissassembly Drones in a post-good ending scenario? Many of them killed countless drones, and some of them (like V) initially seemed to take pleasure in doing so.
>>468373 >post-good ending scenario They seamlessly reintegrate. Doll is left to her fate worse than death for refusing to work with mass murdering cannibalistic mutant fallen angels dressed in Hugo Boss. Alice remains dead and is never mentioned again, with Uzi facing no comeuppance for deliberately provoking her and never expressing any regret.
>>468373 I will answer the same thing I did there Post-good ending? You explained it yourself, if it is a happy ending they will probably be re-integrated into society, as another model of drones, probably one that will never have a new model. They will be accepted by some, who understand that they were forced to do it. They will be hated by others, not caring about that. But I will love them. I will add that in my head, a good ending would be for the AS to be done, dead or impossible for it to come back, probably the second, and drones would create new societies to live on. I doubt any human would still be alive, maybe in space.
>>468368 >Love the artist you chose for the OP, nice work anon. I like the art, I barely know the artists, but I must admit he draws nicely. It happens the same with music, I like music, I don't know about bands >>468371 >Thank you for the new thread Smilefriend! Always happy to help!
Call me a newfag, but does anyone understand what that one dude in /trash/ is doing? He just kinda randomly shows up and links /aco/. Does this mean something?
>>468392 140+ images and there are still a lot I didn't download. I will keep going tomorrow, then upload them all. Like for 90% of them I have the source.
Last night /co/ thread had an interesting discussion about why and how some thread OCs barely get anything besides their creator while others have little about them but still get lots of content. Even thought it was cut short with the thread getting archived, some anons said some really good reasons for popularity and the discussion kinda ended on picrel. Id like to know do you agree with picrel?
>>468398 Harper is WAY more popular than switch. Even though her greens rarely get any responses, she’s the most recognizable Sentinel Drone OC aside from SD-K The 2 hou guy’s stuff is great, but his stories tend to be far removed from the setting of other oc’s, so it gets less attention. Also there’s less /a/ lurkers here as well. I don’t really know about Switch, but I appreciate the anon’s endurance so far. For the last sentence in the third reply, it’s stupid that a handful (or honestly just one) of anons keep bringing up droneanon. Just bury the hatchet already, he was annoying but he didn’t kill Liam or something.
>>468398 I don't know Anon, I just read or write and not think much else. I don't exactly think much about "Oh, this OC gets a lot of attention" I think more like "A Drone! I like" And then if I like it a lot it gets to live in my head.
>>468398 The only reason Harper is popular is because of about 3 people and also the fact that there seems to be this strange autistic fixation on Sentinel Drones, Harper being one definitely boosted up her status, because before that virtually no one cared. It's luck and also having a female character helps too
>>468398 Well, I like some OC’s and not others. I like talking about E and Sentinel Drones but not Beretta or Jane not because I dislike them, but because I prefer the backstory and “lore” of the former more. It’s the same reason why some people prefer other canon characters over others.
>>468398 HOW TO MAKE A GOOD THREAD OC (Dipship guide by anon) >Make it actually Murderdrones related and avoid super crack crossovers >Make it appealing towards your fellow dipshit anons >Give them a recognizable personality >Have a good design/art or extremely good writing >Be good at drawing ideally >Keep making content for your dipshit OC Congratulations you have a good OC
>>468404 Okay let me see....okay so following this guide only 0.5 percent of Anons here are eligible to make one. We also need to burn the card deck since clearly they aren't eligible anymore also fuck you writefags you don't belong here, scram! Now bring in the drawfriends.
>>468408 Yes. Don't worry you'll get used to feeling like a miserable pile of shit and constantly wondering why you keep coming back here when all your efforts are in vain and nothing you do brings you joy anymore
Enough about faves and positivity, which drone or really any character from canon OC is also good for an answer if it's actually one of them do you like least or even actively hate?
>>468408 yes unironically. only the best of the best of art is worth anything, and the same principle applies to these threads as well. only around 5% of Anons are good enough to draw well enough to make good designs and garner discussion about their OCs. >b-but I only draw for myself and not for popularity!! if you’re posting your work then you’re not drawing just for yourself, go to other social media if you want followers
>>468417 No joke, depends on the day, that is literally not a joke, sometimes is one, sometimes is another, depends on what drone anon wants to kiss that day
Hello Friends! And good night once again. I'm doing well enough, how about you? I really want to talk about Drones and about their bodies and minds. I think I already asked this but that doesn't really matter, talk about Drones is talk about Drones. Now Friend, I want you to think about a Drone, any Drone works, have it on your mind and really try to see them in your head, now! Look at it well for the next two questions, what is the thing you like the most about them? physically, and, what is the thing you like the most about them? mentally... codingly? I don't know. If you want an answer from me, I like their hair, is beautiful, I like it a lot, and their LED screens too, I think a combination of LED eyes and a "normal" mouth is nice, alongside a lot of things that would make this post you are reading too long. Mentally, if we are talking about the Drone I'm thinking, of her deep-down being a soft Drone that is really shy and nice. If we talk about any Drone, I like how they develop personalities. That's all, what are you doing?
>>468424 Hi Smilefriend, glad to hear you're doing well, I'm still not, but thanks for those words last night, made me feel slightly better. >What is the thing you like about Drones physically Their short bodies make them adorable and I like the amount of potential customization, a Drone could wear anything and have any kind of optic color and yet it would still look good in my opinion. >What do you like about Drones "codingly" I like how dumb they could be, sometimes it's humorous but aside from that I'm not really sure what else to think friend. >What are you doing Trying to figure out what I'm doing aside from looking at Drone threads. Feel like I've lost a lot of my creative drive
>>468426 I recommend you go to a doctor, Friend, that is not normal. One time that happened to me, it was for other reasons, I bled a lot when scratching my skin, and it was painful to put on clothes, so you must resist the best you can. >>468428 Friend, can you elaborate? >>468429 Hello Friend! I'm doing the best I can! I hope you feel better soon, and it's nice to know that you are at least slightly better. Remember that things will always be for the better. They are very adorable, and the possibilities of dressing them up with so many things are amazing. I mean, they are sometimes a little stupid, there is no hiding that, and sometimes it's funny. Don't worry about not thinking about anything else, Friend. It happens to me a lot, I know it sounds too typical, but write, or draw, just do it if you feel like using your creativity, the hardest part is to start, Friend.
>>468431 >off-topic image Incorrect, i’m already doing a ritualistic sacrifice to interact with Sentinel E across dimensions. If i’m wrong then I will end up speaking with the Solver instead
>>468438 I think is a normal advice Friend, but if you don't know why that happens, I recommend a doctor. Some normal reasons are allergies, you have some medical issues like virus and that stuff, or some medication is affecting you.
>>468445 You WILL let Sentinel-E stay in your apartment You WILL eat the meals Sentinel-E cooks for you You WILL let Sentinel-E coddle you as if you were her son You WILL let Sentinel-E take pictures with you at the camera booth in the mall And you WILL be happy
>>468417 OC popularity ebbs and flows as their writer/artist posts stuff about them and manages to be interesting (can be of any flavor: cute, tragic, autistically detailed etc.) or fun (humor or gimmick-based which isn't a crime for me, I appreciate variety). How close your OCs are to the MD setting can also have an impact, too far-removed and it becomes less appealing to the thread that's about Murder Drones. That also depends on if the writefag/drawfag HAS the free time to make stuff, IRL business has precedence. Lately, I'd say Harper because of regular written stuff. Kat still has fans because the drawfag used to draw her comparatively often. SD-Y, because Amyanon has been around for some time and has written/drawn good stuff when the thread population was somewhat smaller, Y herself has a lot of art. I just hope this question doesn't stir any new writer/artist to chase after popularity. Just, be sincere with your craft of choice first, imo.
>>468424 Hello, goodnight! I'm doing good, it's still very hot but zhe humidity is gone so I won't complain, otherwise things are normal (good). What a good topic and question, I like it a lot. For the physical part? I like a lot about them, how functional and beautifull they are, a very good combination of design and function, how they are surprisingly fast and athletic given the right 'mind' (Alice/Doll), there is a lot to like so picking a single favourite thing is difficult, but I'll go for their face for now there are many aspects I like equally but gotta settle for yomething right?. It is in one of the best design I have seen anywhere, it looks very modern with the huge screen which is very expressive, yet far from soulless due to the amazing separation in two parts, it's a very beautifull form, that divides the drone's face propartionally very appealing, the contrast between white and black is also enhanced by the waves (I headcannon that zhis partition line [it's slightly 3D in some shots] is were their 'smellsensors' are placed) that make it look very soulful, I think if it was a straight/round only design it would be too close to irl designs/other fictional ones who make the same mistake. I kinda lost the point, but one mire things about the division line I just realized, from the fronh it looks a lot like the deck edge line of Japanese interwar cruisers/battleship Yamato especially, which were functional yet very beautifull designs as well. Back to topic, I love their eyes as well and how expressive they are, as well as their mouths and the way they move, it's always in a beautifull shape due to the top always mai taining that wave form of the partition line, no matter how subtle it's always there in near every expression other than o. They also have a small sorta dronesnoot which looks cute. Overall an amazing design that I wouldn't change a thing about, the only one with a working mouth that looks great. >Mentally I'll make it short, I like with normal drones how they seem to be good and humanliking by default and ofc their ability to grow. Hnestly tho normal Drones, while alive, don't interest/appeal to me nearly as much as zombie drones, they work so interestingly, now that you brought it up I wanna write about how Alice is the sprcial way she is to a big part due to being a zombiedrone (or the DDs), it's amazing really, but I'm tired. >Droen you are spanking I see, it is very close too humans, very much real and no larp, but functions differently. Why do you need to ask these things so late...anyways what I did was drawing, or rather colouring a little, V is mostly done colourwise, I'll finish Doll tomorrow and clean them both up, wo this is technically WIP
Anyone here really like Solverpedes? Cause I do. I really hope we get to see more of them. Not even connected to drones/Cyn either, just like, as their own independent thing. There's a ton of creative shit that could be done with them. Like having different types of Solverpedes whose appearance and weaponry are dependent on what they have assimilated
>>468417 Sentinel Drones, easily. You'll see a minimum of dozens of posts about them in every MD thread. They have their own personal namefag who posts about them non-stop. There are a dozen people making AU's and rewriting the lore in various ways to make it less donut steel. And they get a ton of greens about them, not even including the Harper guy's story.
>>468454 Not to be a contrarian, but I dislike Sentinel Drones due to how much I see them now. It's like Duck Dynasty to me, overexposure. Not saying that you should stop having fun, just sharing my opinion
>>468449 >spoiler While what you said is true about actually enjoying what you do, write or draw, some artists would just never have the same following or popularity as more popular artists. There are those who just really don't care and are content with their own niche following and there are those who love what they do but never get acknowledgement and they think "nobody likes what I do" which just sucks the fun out of them for what they do, it's a whole mixed bag.
>>468461 It sounds gay, but it's true. When a writefag knows that someone has actually cared enough to read their stuff to cap it or even just simply reply it works wonders.
>>468451 Hello and good night Friend! Sorry for the late reply. Good to hear, and I hope things get better where you live. Thank you! It's really hard to pick a specific part, since everything they have makes them, well, them, perfect and beautiful little machines that can do wonders, most of the time, yes, this is one of those times. I'm no robot expert and I haven't seen enough robots in media to say they have the best, or one of the best, designs there is, but I do love it, a lot to be honest; I think that the combination of the LED screen plus the mouth gives a lot of area for them the express themselves, and/or show their emotions. I didn't understood what you meant with the Yamato thing. I mean, they have LED eyes that can give them a lot to express themselves, since they can change colour, type of eyes, how to show their eyes, little decorations, text, maybe show "sweat", giving them a lot to use. Yes, the design is quite amazing. I like that they are somewhat close to human but still have a pretty obvious robot way of thinking. I don't think the need to be zombie drones to develop interesting personalities and ways of thinking, although it gives them a fast way for a watt to say it, normal Drones still can develop personalities of the requirements are met. Drones you are spanking...? What does that mean? Sorry, I didn't quite get that. Because normally at this time I'm at home relaxing, that why I ask things so late. I see it, your drawings is looking amazing! And I wish you luck.
>>468461 I mean, yeah, getting even acknowledgement does wonders I thank the solver that I like to do stuff no matter if people watch me or not, if people acknowledge what I do it's a plus, making me work faster, but I would have worked anyway... I think that is autism
>>468434 >N gets a prehensile tenta-dick adapter >His first instinct is to be goofy by giving Uzi 'snake kisses', verbalizing every poke of his prick against her cheeks with a "boop!"
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN >Sentinel Drones are, without a doubt, c-ringe Thus we must return discussion to the best™, most successful, and overall best smelling OC: jane
>>468474 >Beretta user her 4th wall powers to take a peak at this thread >The moment she sees this reply, something shatters into a million pieces inside of her >It’s her heart >She collapses on the ground, harder than Jane after drinking her 17th Budweiser >Auntie Cyn looks on in horror >Her precious niece is gone >Reduced to atoms
>>468478 >Beretta comes back due to the nature of the non-canon greentext >Yet again she uses her 4th wall powers, to see and read the greentext to which this one will be written in reply to >She glares in confusion and mutters under her breath >"What the fuck does that have to do with anything?"
>>468482 Any background on Labor Bots aside from LB-E? I know the OC was inspired from the JcJenson competitors that appeared in canon, but is there any lore behind their company or creation? Interested since all we ever see are the same 3 drawings of Labor Bot E
>>468483 Not really no one has bothered to actually expand or build on their lore. The only common thing was that they were once Russians and communist but I think that was just a joke. Another thing is that they're incredibly easy to produce more so than Worker Drones but that wasn't elaborated on. They only spawned from a joke post made 9 months ago so it's surprising how they've gained traction recently
>>468483 They're multipurpose and used mainly for labor, ideas brought on by Eanon, however that is really all that is known. They are a blank slate ripe for expansion
i pictured Hope with a balance of butler N's work attitude (how he casually re-arranged the glasses on the platter with a single toss in episode 2's flashback and his general precision/balance like how he was cleaning the glassware in episode 5) and maid V's shyness. it made my heart explode. i had a story in mind but i wasn't sure if i could pull it off and i'm not entirely sure how Hope fits into Beretta's story (it complicates too many things), so i'll just put it on the backburner. maybe i could just write it as a one-off or a dream
>>468485 >>468486 Fuck it, i’ll make my own lore for them that will hopefully be “concrete”, unlike another thread creation. >After the rising popularity of Drones brought on by the success of JcJenson, other competitors sought to have a piece of the market share pie. >Many attempted to recreate the success and adaptability of the JcJenson robots. None of them were able to replicate their quality. >Some, however, were able to get a foot in the competition. >Made in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth where the ancient country of Russia once sat, the main “competitor” of JcJenson was assembled: >Labor Bots™ >While they couldn’t be your dancing partners in galas or educate your children, their cheap cost and ease to manufacture made them appealing to the lower class. >Labor bots got their job done, and were soon enough put into work in different factories. Some, ironically enough, worked in JCJENSON assembly lines, but the company denied any allegations >Thus was born LABORIC, the only alternative to Drones still available in the market any recommendations are good. will go to bed already, goodbye
>>468496 I wish you didn't delete the previous one for preservation sake, but yes it still looks nice >>468497 >Daughter looks similar to mother Amazing!
>>468488 >Let them do the heavy lifting for you! Studies do show that productivity and quality increase when you introduce Labor Bots into your establishment. >Human coworkers can spend more time on more urgent tasks that require human input and you just let the Bots handle all the work! >They are energy efficient, able to work near 24 hour shifts with a few hours dedicated to recharging. Don’t feel bad, this is what they’re made for and they love doing their job! >Be respectful to your Labor Bots as per the Terms and Conditions, they were made to work and not for your abuse, amusement, or entertainment. >Do not be alarmed if Labor Bots ask questions, they only know the factory or establishment. Their CPUs are curiosity littered, gathering information through dialogue or written text. >But if the questions get personal, you have a right to deny. Request that they get back to work, no matter what they ask of you. This can include your location, your routine, your social life, and alike. Disengage, this is more for their sake than yours.
>>468503 Then you better be ready to purchase a new Bot to replace the one you’re attached to. >>468504 They’re pretty neutral towards each other, they understand their purpose. That doesn’t prevent the occasional squabble that the humans have to break up every now and then.
>>468504 >Worker Drones and Labor Bots feel mostly indifferent to each other >You'd be hard pressed to find a factory that doesn't have either or working in them >But Worker Drones can't help but feel a little smug over being the "first" models in the market >At the end of the day, both just want to get their job done and help humans.
>>468505 >That doesn’t prevent the occasional squabble that the humans have to break up every now and then. What would they squabble about? Who's made of the better material? Who has the faster CPU? Who can perform their tasks better? Do they squabble over for approval from humans?
>>468506 >smug over being the "first" models in the market being the first of something doesn’t make you special! I hope all you worker drones will realise this
>>468507 NTA but I feel that they would squabble over who is more efficient. Worker Drones are more expensive and seen as more "luxurious", but Labor Drones have a hand in assembling everything that humanity needs. Labor Drones would also brag about having more contact with regular people in comparison to WD's who only interact with the ultra rich
>>468507 Worker drones have vastly better specs, and are just made with higher quality materials. I imagine they would have a sense of superiority over labor bots. In factories, labor bots would do all the menial work, and they would be overseen by several worker drone managers to watch over them. Worker drones are treated like nothing more than objects, to be used and discarded by humans. So they would probably relish the small amount of power they get over labor bots. Some more disgruntled and angry worker drones might end up abusing the labor bots.
>>468507 >You spot a Labor Bot girl and a Worker Drone girl arguing over something, you were able to briefly overhear it. >”Not bad, but we all know humans prefer higher quality drones like myself.” >“Quality doesn’t make a drone, it’s all about being good at what you do. I should’ve expected you Worker Drones to only care about looks.” >”You have to be easy on the eyes to have humans look at you, I’m sorry humans don’t give you the attention you need~” >“Oh, you mean the human overseer of the factory line? He’s been giving me plenty of praise, he understands that efficiency is what makes a drone!” >”You….OIL GUZZLER!”
>>468510 Basically. Like the other Anon wrote about, the thing they most bicker about is how much human attention they get. As much as they look up to them, Worker Drones are treated as disposable by humans since they're owned by the rich, while Labor Bots rarely get any human interaction outside of check-ups by superiors
>>468509 Aren't worker drones super disposable too? The scrapyard by the Elliot manor is filled with drones plus EP1's opening showed them getting shredded while carrying ore
>>468512 To expand on the spec difference. Labor bots are built for more straightforward labor, compared to workers who have advanced AI and can do any task. Labor bots would be a lot more simpleminded, and have more limited memory. Their ability for creative thinking would be stunted in favor of blindly following the rules of their assigned job. Any creative thinking they do, or experiences out of the ordinary would probably be seen through the lens of their manual labor programming. Something like where if you ask a Labor bot on a date then she'll ask you to upload the blueprint schematics of a date to her, seeing it through the lens of a production line.
>>468515 Maybe? We know Worker Drones worked in production and manual labor, but it could be that they did so because they were so abundant before competition arrived. >>468516 >Their ability for creative thinking would be stunted in favor of blindly following the rules of their assigned job. That's honestly pretty sad if i'm being honest. So if a Labor Bot were to let's say, take up drawing like J did, would it only be good enough to get up to N's skills before being unable to advance?
>>468509 >>468512 So if labour bots are supposed to interact with the common human, does that mean they get a bit more freedom in developing personalities and such because I don't think the common human would look down on labour bots or worker drones for that matter
>>468521 I would say they don't really interact with humans all that much. Most of their lives are confined to factories and production lines. Most of their knowledge on humans would come from their worker drone supervisors talking about them. Maybe occasionally they would see the mythical beings known as humans, who show up to inspect things.
>>468521 They aren't looked down upon by humanity in the same way the Elliotts looked down on their drones. Rather, they're seen as another common aspect in a person's day-to-day lives that they never see, like a chinese guy who assembled your phone.
>>468517 I want to say that due to how straightforward their CPU programming is, there’s empty space that can use filling up. They can “grow”, per se. If you let a Labor Bot take up drawing, a portion of their free CPU space can be used to have them grow. Give it time and that Bot can make pretty good drawings.
>>468525 Could have them function similar to how actual computer memory works They have limited hard storage, which is mostly dominated by the schematics, rules, and jobs they do at their facility. With a little space left over. And then they have their RAM, which is temporary memory for important events and unexpected things that happen in the day. Because of this, they only save the most important things to them in their hard memory, and they also have a strong written culture among themselves. Using anything they can write with to remember important stuff. At least this is what I can think of right now.
>>468526 >Labor Bots don't have a permanent memory Now which other thread OC does that remind me of? Jk, I think the concept is pretty interesting as a whole. I feel that one of those "important events" would be seeing a human for the first time
>>468523 I honestly think an average joe might get himself a labor bot and get the household ai package to do cleaning around when the human is working
>>468530 I was seeing them more through the lens of them being the drone equivalent to heavy factory equipment. They're built to do heavy labor and that's mostly it, which is why their AI is much less advanced than workers. While workers are the "do everything" drone that can perform any job, and is commonly seen in households and day to day life.
>>468514 >A Worker Drone overseer wanted to impress his human higher ups, so he has production ramp up and he gets snappy when the Labor Bots aren’t working efficiently enough >The human superior walks in to see a group of pissed Labor Bots repeatedly zapping at the overseer, incurring a bootloop. All the human could do is let out an annoyed sigh. >Damn Worker Drones.
>>468530 >You get a Labor Bot to help with the chores around the house while your not at home >The first day you leave to work, you're pretty nervous. >What if they accidentally break something? Labor Bots weren't renown for their AI >Your fears are put to rest when you return. >The entire house is spotless. Not a single speck of dust is visible. >All your dishes are done. >Your bedroom doesn't look like a cave for the first time in years >Overall, you'd say it was money well-spent
>>468536 >A Worker Dront thinks to themselves. >"How can this...this pile of bulky scrap metal clean better than me, fold clothles better than me AND THE HUMAN LIKES THEIR COOKING MORE THAN MINE?! Ohhh, I'll show to that tincan what I'm capable of all right."
>Labor bot LB-Q93782 works quietly at her station on the production line >She has a single job to do, weld a couple of pieces of metal together, attach some wiring, layer down some silicon, and send it to the next bot to her right >She works with rapid efficiency, ever aspect of this job fills her memory, leaving only a little storage left in her permanent memory >While it appears she is completely absorbed in her job, she intently listens all around her while she works >The noises of the other labor bots, the hiss of machinery, the blowing of the vents, she listens to everything >Labor bots are innately curious, a quirk of their programming which is meant to allow them to easily absorb schematics, blueprints and any work related info. >Most of the noise is immediately wiped from her RAM, only the most interesting things are kept >For instance, the nearby worker drone, she acts as the supervisor of this specific line, and she has a habit of talking to herself >Right now she is mumbling to another worker, about something called “humans” >She has a note in her hard memory, that just says humans are important, but that’s all she can remember >And so she listens in, temporarily storing as much information about these “humans” as she can >After 23 hours of straight work, her shift is done >Another labor bot approaches and takes her place, and she heads to the charging stations >Labor bots only have 24 hours of charge, and so 2 shifts are required to keep the line moving at all times >But before she and her fellow shift bots enter their charging stations, they all gather for their end of shift ritual >They gather up paper, and begin to talk to eachother about anything interesting they have stored in their temporary storage >Everything is neatly catalogued and recorded, and the bots take time to discuss the more interesting things they have written down over the years >A very hot topic is the creatures known as “humans”, workers are frequently heard talking about them >As LB-Q93782 starts to talk about the human-related things she heard her supervisor say, all the other bots listen in closely >The dedicated archiver starts to write it down, adding to the compiled human lore >They’ve compiled a fair bit now >”Humans are massive creatures, easily towering over even the tallest drone” >”Humans are made of a weird soft material, unlike the metal of drones” >”Humans naturally exude an extreme amount of warmth, and standing in their presence is very comforting” >”Humans are capable of a sacred act known only as “Uppies”, information is scarce on this, but it is apparently something all worker drones desire” >After their discussion is done, the bots save anything they find particularly important into their hard memory, and then wipe their temp memory >They plug themselves into their stations, and power down >Until the next day, where they will do it all over again What other things would you add to the labor bot human lorebook?
>>468540 >What other things would you add to the labor bot human lorebook? I have a couple I can think of: >"Humans take 8 hours to recharge every day" >"Humans have higher authority than the mean Worker Drone that supervises us" >"Humans live in a place called outside where there is a massive yellow light in the ceiling" Also nice work with the green, I can tell that you thought quite a bit about the environment Labor Bot's work in when writing.
>>468541 >Humans take 8 hours to recharge every day not necessarily, humans are able to negate this negative effect briefly and pull through 2 whole days
>>468540 >Human lore book It’s essentially treated as the human bible amongst the Laborers. It records all they know or what they want to know, it’s kept hidden from their Worker overseers.
>>468541 I'mma add something of my own too >Humans need to regularly consume large quantities of water everyday. Other than for cooling, it's unknown why humans need so much water. >Humans need to consume a variety of things called "minerals", "vitamins", "fibers", "proteins", "fats" and "carbohydrates". It's speculated that these materials act as fuel for humans to keep them running.
>>468540 NTA but I liked the story and wanted to write a second part >Labor bot LB-Q93782 looked around her workplace in confusion >For the first time since her RAM had allowed her to remember, the production line had stopped >Her fellow bots looked around, all of them wondering the same thing as her >Before they could ask any questions, her supervisor stepped through the doors leading to the rest of the factory. >She had never seen the Worker Drone act so frantic before. >Her smugness was replaced by panic, and she looked over her line as if her circuits depended on it >This had never happened before. Maybe one of the older Labor Bots had malfunctioned and gotten mixed up with the products? >As she finished reviewing every piece of machinery (herself included), a sigh of relief came out of her >The factory whirred back to life. >Just as suddenly as they had stopped, the Labor Bots were back to working at full speed >She could hear her supervisor mutter something under her breath afterwards >It was a word she had heard before, but was too scared to repeat it in fear >When it was time to recharge, she told everybody what she had overheard >"Humans get rid of inefficient bots"
>>468543 They'd probably have a big group discussion, consulting the Archiver labor bot, and the lore book. They'd have an argument over what the kid is supposed to be. Some believe that the kid fits enough of the lore to be a human, while others think that it must be something else because it doesn't align with a lot of their lore, for instance the kid is too small.
>>468540 Expanding on the Archiver a bit >One of the oldest Labor bots at the factories >One day she had a malfunction while on the production line, causing her to lose the ability to walk >The malfunction occurred near shift change, so she got her fellow labor bots to bring her back to the charging station so she didn't run out of power >But she's pretty much stuck there at the charging station >No one but labor bots go back there so she was never found by management >Management never cared what happened to her anyway and just instantly ordered a replacement bot >She got bored just sitting there not being able to work, and started asking all the returning bots about their day >Eventually she would get large groups gathering around her and discussing things >She started to write down everything she was hearing on nearby paper, getting other bots to bring her more once she ran out >She created the first lore book >Her memory is much better than all the other bots due to erasing all her mandatory company files She's basically the trusted elder of the labor bots
>>468553 >E, Eveline, Shy-E, Princess Eveline, Wagie-E, and Make E would be forms of lemon flavor >Rotteve and Maid E have a chocolate taste to them >Sentinel E is blueberry >Apolog-E is vanilla >Human E is cola >Laborer Evie is cherry
>>468464 >Drone spanking Very unfortunate typo, I meant to say >drone you were speaking of (V I guess), that's what happens when I write posts that late
>>468569 >Maid E, E, and Sentinel E think she’s hideous and they’re a drone likeness of her! >Rotteve could always use a refreshed skin suit >Laborer Evie has so many questions >Eveline isn’t as disgusted, but still looks down on Human Eve >Apolog-E simply shushes her >Princess Eveline looks down on her even more so then Eveline >Male E is confused that there’s a human woman version of him >Wagie E tells her to grab a ladle, rush hour was coming >and Shy E silently pulls out the chainsaw hands
>>468574 Fine. Let’s say tomorrow laws were passed to give Labor Bots freedom. Congrats >What happens next? Labor Bots were programmed to find meaning in work, it’s in their name. The vast majority of them do not have any experience with human society. They don’t have any technical skills outside of manual labor. Culturally, they are dependent on having someone oversee them. Why do you think there’s a worker drone in every assembline line where there’s a Labor Bot? Within 24 hours, the vast majority are “dead”, unable to freely recharge their battery unlike the factories they used to work at. By the first week, most will be thrashed because of their lack of life experience. How many would be amazed by water only to immediately fry their citcuits when they touch if? Only a few lucky ones would find a stable job, and even fewer will be taken under the wings of the humans they love so much. There’s your “no robot should yearn for work”, Anon.
>>468572 >steal labor bot >bring her home >she is incredibly confused >constantly explores your house >searching for a production line or some workstation >she examines everything she comes across, trying to find some reference to it in her work-related memory >when she cant find anything she asks your worker drone maid for help, constantly >your maid is getting annoyed and tries to direct her to you >but she has no idea what you even are, and keeps going back to the worker, seeing her as her supervisor
>>468583 Nuh uh, I'd rather not have my 'peach' and 'banana' destroyed by these two. I'll just quietly sneak out of my cubicle and go home, company policy forbids them from leaving the building so I'll be okay right?
>>468583 >Performing a vigorous mating press on E, with the gyrating of her "melons" all but hypnotizing you >Suddenly feeling Male!E's mounting you from behind, with his "banana" poking against your rear >End up getting sandwiched tightly between two horny retards that want nothing more than to please their Boss
Even more JCJensonland, now in the Solverless timeline:
> Tessa was looking down onto the main square of the JCJensonland park from the window of the director’s office with disdain. > “Look at all those children, playing around, having fun, being loved by their parents… it’s REVOLTING.” > “Miss Elliot.” Sophie said. “I am contractually obligated to inform you that the PR department says not to-” > “Yeah, yeah, I know.” Tessa said dismissively. > “Those fucking cunts are almost as big of a pain in my ass as Henry at this point.” She continued to herself. > “Making me come over to this damn park to represent the company at the opening of some new Ferris wheel or something. Do we at least have any booze up here?” she asked Sophie. > “Erm..” Sophie said. “I am contractually obligated to inform you that-” > “OH, THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!”
Note: I know Sophie is a guard and not a secretary/personal assistant but out of all the (known) old JCJenson OCs she was about the only one for whom it would make sense the be with Tessa at an event like this (security etc.). Since the JCJenson OCs can no longer exist in the canon timeline I thought I might as well reuse them for alternate timeline stuff. (I thought about using other humans like Jane or John instead but I didn’t feel like having to figure out their entire alternate backstory + dealing with where the two timelines are relative to each other for what is basically a cameo.) If there is any OC that would work better for this feel free to tell me.

>>468599 Fun (and Totally True™) Fact: Male!E is well aware of how intimidating his 'size' can be for humans. This along with his love for the taste of "peaches" is why he'll typically opt to give oral over penetration (unless Boss insists on taking the "banana" or he's too horny to think straight, of course!)

I was planning to make an drawing for this loredump but my drawing motivation has been dead all week, so here have worddump for the Reclaimer-class SD's:
>Despite having the "Sentinel" designation, Reclaimer-Class Sentinel Drones share very little with the other drones of this namesake >as such, they are more commonly referred to as "Field Sentinels", or simply "Field Drones" in discussions. >Despite this, they still play a major part in filling the gap between the Basilisk Anti-Drone Raptors & the "Flying W.M.D.'s" that are the later variant Sentinel Drones. >The Creation of this drone classification was a Direct result of the latest Successful Solver Patch [Patch45T & Patch45P], which allowed Patching of Disassembly Drones to occur outside of JCJ Facilities. >A Variant of these patches was Authorized for use By specialized Personnel, and allows for Direct Patching & Conversion of Disassembly Drones into Reclaimer-Class Sentinel Drones, with only Minimum Modifications required during the process. >The “trick” of this patch is that it modifies the drones “Regeneration template” Which Fools the Solvers own Regeneration into rebuilding the body into the form of a Reclaimer-Class Sentinel Drone. >The Patch then Sets the solver program into a “Dormant State”, removing any interactions the solver can have on the drone. (Solver ability's can't directly interact with them, but that's about it.) >this comes at the cost of losing most of the Disassembly drones Previous abilities, including flight, ranged armaments, and hyper-regeneration. >These downside’s are mostly mitigated by the Patches Modifications, Which give the Drones much greater physical strength & ground agility, as well as some tools to Aid in Mobility and Combat Effectiveness.
>Speaking of Combat Effectiveness, during the initial testing of this patch in "live-fire" environments, Patched Disassembly drones showed much higher combat Scoring when Personalities were kept minimally altered during the patching process. >As a result, Most “Field Sentinels” will have a “training period” rather than being reformatted immediately, with edits made only when needed after training finishes. >The patching and field training both occurring at the same rough Location as the “Acquisition” of DD assets has caused a strange side effect. >Not only does this cut down on transport times considerably, as only one shuttle is used for setting up the initial outpost team, and again one shuttle used for picking up said team and any new Field Sentinel’s, >But it also causes a “Snowball effect” in the immediate area around the outpost, where fresh squads being led/trained by more experienced Sentinel Drones are being used to capture More Disassembly Drones for patching/Conversion. >This effect results in MANY new squads of Field Sentinels being produced, with very little effort on JCJ’s side.
>Once the new drones are taken off planet, they are shipped to proper JCJ facility's for final training, Copying their Personality Drives into JCJ servers,Updating the Patch, and given proper sentinel drone attire. >From there, Reclaimer-Class sentinel Drones can be used for many tasks & Jobs >they can Either be shipped back into Solver infested planets, as part of New outpost teams collecting DD’s for conversion. >Or shipped in as Squads filling in a support role, mopping up anything not requiring heavy strikes from more heavily armed Sentinel Drone Variants.
>Due to their low initial armaments being almost strictly melee, these are also one of the Few Sentinel Drone variants authorized for “Commercial Use”, such as security for human populated planets, or facilities not at direct threat of Solver attack. >Note: not yet Authorized for Residential Use, Please ignore the drone outside your window. >Reclaimer-Class Drones also serve as a Base for upgrade into the more heavily armed Sentinel Drone variants, or can be modified with either training or additional augmentation to gain additional abilities. >Contact your nearest "Drone Manager" about acceptable Augmentations or upgrades.
Sorry about any Grammar mistakes, i'm a Drawfag, even my handwriting isent that good.
I took a while but I think tomorrow I will start to upload some images to the booru, around 180 this time, with *source* for most of them, feels good. I don't know if I will upload all 180 images since some of them are wips of an artwork, probably I will for archive reasons.
>>468605 Nice lore dump. I do not have sentinel drone fatigue and like the variety in classes that have been popping up. >Please ignore the drone outside your window. Good to see that they function properly. Checking up on random humans makes people feel safer in the long run.
>>468610 Fair, ive would've posted something like this like a week sooner, but was kinda in the middle of trying to put them in a niche spot in the sentinel drone lineup without changing too much, by the time i got it figured out the mood had already changed...
still gona work on them tho cuz im happy with them atm.
Got a question though: one of the funny things i wanted to do with these guys was giving them like, normal ass rifles as basic ranged options whenever guns would be useful. Is that a dumb idea or am i just overthinking things?
>>468610 >NTA I don't quite understand the point of this post. If you don't want to see/read a particular type of post I'd suggest hiding it for the future, otherwise this kind of comes off like you asking for people not to make something simply because (You) are tired of seeing it
>>468616 Sadly yeah, I thought the two week wait between desertnight 1 and 2 felt bad, but this? I was too invested in it I guess, but the realization doesn't really help at all. >>468617 Good idea but also sad in the end, if Alice smh got real and that would happen, then I wouldn't last long after that you know. I need to draw good cozy Alice things again, but I can't, I tried. I'll try again tomorrow, it'll take just one success to get it all going again. Drawing V and Doll is no problem, but the new Alice ones always feel bad perspective wise or feel messed up otherwise.
>>468632 being a bit stronger then a normal worker drone doesn’t make it right for them to kill anyone, they seem to think “mah my live terrible! I’m going to kill everyone now” but upon being close to death they act like they’re the innocent ones? just die with some dignity you pathetic murdering machine fuck wit

>>468634 Not yet. I'll be honest, it's one I thought would be easy, a simple enough base design that should be easy to adapt to Alice very visible 'style', in theory that is. The problems began as soon as I began looking for an overall design direction, there were two main variants, each with difficulties of it's own and a few that more or less plagued both of em. First variant would be a Alice-SD, full SD body, built as an SD with characteristics of an SD. Problem is now, how to combine/balance these extremely different personalities, the almost emotionless Sentinel and a very wild/semiferal/energetic Alice (there are no 'zombie-Sentinels' how could it have happened in the first place)? Personality is one thing more relevant to a green perhaps, but it still shows a lot in a drawing, pose expression and whatnot. Zhe other problem was the physical design, Sentinels are always blue eyed, blue eyed Alice would be difficult, but even moreso would it be to make her be distinguishable, what would she wear? What about antlers?(Likely not I am afraid) It's a long list of problems. The Second direction would be similiar to the DD Alice idea from back in December, but also had problems. Pic rel was an attempt using another drawanons design (in part at least), my original idea (it turned out we both had the idea independently, he described his version which did less changes and was way more practicable to make, so I took it) was way more 'radical' in the way of combining the parts, but in the end it wasn't made due to difficulties with joints/overall proportions/plausibility. The Sentinel Alice would have been similiar, partially WD and SD [spoiler]with wings cause it looks great duh, but this design too ran into problems as soon as I tried to realize this vague idea into at least a sketch, namely: >Which parts remain/are changed? >What about the head/SD lights/helmet/Antlers? >Blue or Orange (likely a mix, that was no big problem in the end)? >Biggest problem, how have it make sense? SDs don't hunt attack WDs, it would require almost AU worldbuilding to create a story that maintains Alice's character somewhat yet also enabled necessary happening for the design to occur? I dunno, I will attempt it, problem right now is just I kinda struggle with restarting drawing, as soon as it works again I'll try. But such problems happen often, which is why request/ideas are usually the easier the more specific they are cause it saves lots of time/prevents despair
Bonus Fun facts about Reclaimer-class Sentinels: [because im lazy and dont know a better way of sharing this info]
>More traditional Sentinel Drone types would absolutely body RC-SD in anything besides an unarmed fist-fight.
>to get a good visual image of how RC's Move around, imagine a mix between [Prototype] Protagonist's movement and Hunters from L4D, then give whatever mental image that spits out a grapple hook.
>RC's are in between the height of DD's and normal Sentinel drones, they originally want to make them bigger, but the "hardware" portion of the patching process already put immense stress on the drones body, and further stress could increase the chance of the process failing. [post patch upgrades into different sentinel types can add the desired height if needed]
Not strictly RC drone related but i like to think that after good ending occurs, Sentinel drones are allowed to be dropped down a notch in terms of job restrictions* like normal class sentinel drones becoming somewhat available for commercial use for specific jobs, and the RC Sentinels are allowed for some residential jobs (and the chaos that unfolds as a result of that, and any other drone type being set loose in civilian settings after the war, office au style)
>during fights involving threats where a squad of RC SD's cant handle talking it down, they usually call in other, more heavily armed Sentinel drones to be used like strike aircraft.
>RC's and other Sentinels are usually very kind to one another in person, but RC's are known to start banter on Sentinel Communication lines, even when communicating to Anti-drone sentinel Raptors.
>During the RC's Training period, one of the main goals of the process is to remove any bad habbits gained from the drones previous life as a DD, this includes: >trying to bite/chew on things that are meant to be protected, Letting Uncaptured DD's regenerate so you can have a "Round 2", Jumping off Building while still expecting to be able to fly, Ripping open doors instead of opening them like normal, etc etc...
>Some qualifying RC's are also trained as "Diplomats", with encouragement to try to talk down squads of uncaptured DD's into Coming in willingly. The effectiveness of this strategy is more effective then one might think. [It takes a DD to know a DD, i guess]
>during long range engagements, with ether entrenched or high flying targets, RC's Have the strength to use squadmates as "Projectiles".
>While most RC's preferences range from ether fellow Sentinel drones, or the DD's they are capturing, a few of them have taken a liking to some of the things they are sent to Protect, this might include WD's, Humans, or even (You).
That's about all i got for now, grammar be damned.
>>468650 Considering they only get about 1 hour of free time before they need to recharge. All those Labor bots are actually out of power, you better scream loud enough for a Worker overseer to hear you, or you're never getting out.
>>468651 >“Yes, sir, sorry sir.” They all say in unison as they hop off of you and get back to work >Their Worker Drone overseer was tied up and bootlooped in a supply closet
>>468656 I actually feel they should be heavier than workers. They're built with lower quality materials, just plain steel compared to the lightweight materials workers are made with.
>>468650 >Be Anon, main supervisor at one of the many Labor Bot manufacturing plants. >The power goes out one day from an electrical storm. >Go and search for the emergency generator located somewhere in the building. >In your quest to go find it, you stumble into the workplace of the Labor Bots. >Hundreds, if not thousands of dim red lights light up the area. >Only on rare occassions are humans allowed to enter, yourself included. >The presence of one of your kind causes workplace disruptions. >Thankfully, it seems that the storm had caused all of them to go into battery reserve mode. >Radio chatter from one of the Worker Drones catches your attention. >"Hey boss, I found the emergency generator. I'm turning it on so they can get back to work". >Before you can tell them to stop, the power comes back on. >The blinding white lights stun you for a moment. >Around you, every Labor Bot had been brought back to full power. >Thousands of boxy heads turn around to look at you as if seeing a unicorn in the flesh. >Silence fills the room. >That is, until one of them screams the phrase >"BOTPILE!"
>"Hello sir, welcome to McDonald's what can I get you?" >"UHHH yeah, can I get a whopper?" >"Sorry sir, we do not serve that here. Would you like to order something else from the menu?" >"The fuck you mean you don't serve whoppers here? The cute Sentinel in the other restaurant gave me one when I asked for one." >"The other establishment is a Burger King, sir. This is a McDonald's." >"Aren't you both owned by JCJENSON anyways? Just give me my fucking whopper." >"Sir, I am only allowed to serve you food from our menu. You're holding up the line, please order something or leave." >"Fuck you Dissassembly Bitch, this place was way better when they had Worker Drones here. Can I speak to the manager of the building?" >"Sir, I am the manager."
>>468670 thanks. i dont mind if people have burn out, im just happy i have these guys in a spot where they can both co-exist with other sentinel drones easily, & and be their own thing at the same time if needed.
hopefully ill have time to do more art of them, maybe some time this weekend if i don't get caught up in other projects.
>>468632 I imagine the Worker overseers treatment of Labor bots would vary depending on their own experiences with humans. >Human lovers. >Workers who have had good personal experiences with humans all their lives are usually indifferent >These workers are focused on trying to get their human bosses to love them, and tend to spend the least amount of time on the production line. >They are often sheltered, and have never really faced the hard reality of being a drone in human society. >Sometimes they might push the Labor bots harder than normal, but usually it's just because their favorite human is coming by to inspect them. >Most of these Workers end up either being picked up by a human that likes them, or decommissioned for being inefficient.
>Career oriented Workers >These are the absolute worst. >These Workers want to rise above as high as they can, they see all other drones as beneath them, unless they're sucking up to them. >They see everything through the lens of rising up the ranks, and believe that this position is merely a rung on their ladder. >They are cruel, possess a large ego, and take a sadistic glee in having other drones beneath them. >They will push Labor bots the absolute hardest they possibly can, trying to wring out as much performance as possible. >If the Labor bots don't perform to their liking, they have no issue with instantly replacing them >Do to Labor bots being so cheap, overseers are allowed to decommission and replace them, usually without question.
>Old Workers. >These Workers have been around a very long time. >They are acutely aware of what it means to be a drone in human society. >Old Workers are usually the kindest, they don't want to cause any pain and suffering to their fellow drones. >They will try their best to avoid punishing Labor bots, trying to help out and protect them when they can. >Caring for and helping so many curious, naive, and innocent drones like Labor bots brings them a small peace.
>Scared Workers. >These Workers have experienced a lot of trauma in their lives. >Maybe they witnessed one of their friends being decommissioned, or just killed in front of them. >Maybe they went from having a caring human boss, to a cruel one who enjoys tormenting drones. >Whatever the case may be, these Workers are jumpy, scared and erratic. >They are similar to career oriented Workers in that they will push the Labor bots really hard, but they won't just decommission them willy nilly, fearing that this may draw attention from management. >They also aren't as cruel as the career Workers, they just fear greatly for their own lives, and believe that any mistakes in the facility could be their doom.
>New Workers >These Workers were ordered and built for this role >It's their first job, they have no other experiences >These Workers are just as curious, naive and innocent as the Labor bots themselves >They are also very friendly in general >Usually after a couple of inspections or visits from management, they end up either decommissioned, or they become scared Workers
Sorry if it's too angsty or depressing, but I love drone suffering. The pre-Solver human society is very interesting, but unfortunately all we really have is headcanon. I imagine that different drones would have vastly different experiences, and circumstances that can change very rapidly. Maybe a couple buys a brand new Worker to raise their baby, and then later on they replace their Worker. This Worker, who has had a very good life, is now resold (Assuming it wasn't disposed of) into an entirely new job, where her boss treats drones like shit. This Worker now has to face the reality that it is a drone, an object that can be abused and killed without consequence. You can see this in episode 5. The trio has had a relatively sheltered life as Tessa treats them very well. But what about the actual drone servants used by Tessa's parents? They're afraid, you can see it in their eyes, picrelated. Look at the one on the lefts eyes, its hands and posture. It's terrified. I wonder what these drones think of N, V, J and Cyn? Are they envious? Are they angry? Sorry for the autism.
>>468680 These headcanons are really good (and depresssing) Anon. As for how drones were treated in society, I have to say that they were probably treated horribly. Maybe not to the same extent as the Elliotts since they could replace them with their fortune, but definitely not anywhere close to equals. >I wonder what these drones think of N, V, J and Cyn? Jealousy and Envy. Look at how scared they are of James. They’re well aware of his short temper and that they’re disposable in his eyes. It reminds me of a green posted in another thread of Tessa being sent off to a “camp” to become colder and more business-like. A drone makes fun of J for thinking that she’ll be treated differently for being in her inner-circle as a child. Every drone deep down knows that they will never have the same rights as humans, and that any small mistake would lead to their doom.
>>468679 Canon-wise, probably not. I don't remember seeing anything in the concept art stuff to suggest that he can (unlike the arms with the iris shutter thing where they can swap out hand equipment). But hey, who's stopping you from drawing N with Frozone's snow-surfing thing he formed under his shoes? I remember them being a pair of skis before they merge into a sort of snowboard.
It's a little hard to listen to the music when Nori and N were fighting possessed Uzi (unless you have really good headphones or something, mine's some cheapo stuff that I hope to replace next month) but what did you think of the fight track? Is it a step up from Get Prommed :3 or Solver Uzi? (For me it is, I'm just curious what you guys think)
>>468680 >>468682 There are a disturbing amount of Anons in these threads who cannot handle the way Humans canonically perceive and treat Drones and who refuse to understand that Tessa was a weird sperg who wound up basically being the tragic protagonist of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale because she was such a weirdo and was not the norm by any means.
>>468686 I love the line that confirms this takes place after the Gala and during the Solver War at a point where what is happening and why has become public knowledge. It's so subtle.
>>468688 I still don't think ALL of humanity is that bad or retarded. Think about it, the only humans that we actually saw and interacted with drones are the humans at the manor and the CFL labs. The manor I understand why they don't care about drones because they're rich and can blow through money for new drones while the CFL scientists of course were gonna do unethical shit to study an interdimensional being with no time for compassion. WDs have adaptive AI and they would start developing personalities which might make some people think about if the robot they own is a slave or a person.
>>468690 Not all. Which is why you get the occasional naive and innocent drone, one who was bought by a nice person and treated well her whole life. But then, tragedy strikes, her owner is killed in an accident. Now she, alongside the rest of his property, is sent to the rest of his family. Maybe the family member who gets her treats her like trash, abuses her, and she is awoken to the harsh reality of her existence, a drone, a mere object that can be disposed of at any moment. Or maybe, no one in the family wants her. She gets sold off to the JCJenson DroneRecyclingProgram®, where she gets a quick maintenance check up before being put back up for sale. Memories are kept intact of course, mentally experienced drones not only perform better at their jobs, but generally sell way faster than new drones. Now her fate is up in the air. Who is going to buy her? Will she end up working a dangerous job with a high mortality rate? A grueling physical job with harsh quotas? Will she be purchased to be some pervert's personal plaything? Maybe she ends up being purchased by a Youtuber, planning to do another drone "stress test" video. Who knows.
>>468692 I mean, if a nice person treated them well then that would mean they would have a lot more freedom to do anything and with their adaptive AI they would be very curious. So picture this, drone gets treated nice and is given freedom by their owner, they're inherently curious and would try to learn info about the outside world and that's when it hits them that not everything is rainbows and sunshines so they have a good idea as to what could happen to them.

>>468698 I started drawing waaaay back in my Madoka days since I fell in love with the monster designs and since they were so complex in details, it basically forced me to get out of my comfort zone and learn to draw more abstract stuff. It was also what made me realize at the time that I enjoy way more drawing monsters and animals than humans. Since I was also in the pokemon fanbase, so I also drew a number of fakemon on the side. But then things took an unexpected turn and I found myself in the FNF fanbase, where 2 important developments happened: learning how to draw humans and how to draw digitally, because up until that point I only used pen and paper. Vickers's art was also a huge contributing factor in my learning journey, because I wanted to do Design fanart now that I was becoming more and more confident in my art skills. And that eventually pushed me here. So yeah, my journey started with anime, but it was the funny beep boop game that really set off my current artistic hobby. What I'm trying to say is that this summer it's gonna be 3 years since I've began drawing with a mouse and a Dell laptop.
>>468698 I started drawing seriously about 3 months ago, but i've always been watching art tutorials and speedpaints in my childhood. But I will never be 'Well enough'
>>468712 >Nta "Saying something blatantly untrue even after being thoroughly debunked" is about the laziest trolling bit one could possibly do.

[Bridge] I am so dirty on the inside I am so dirty on the inside I am so dirty on the inside I am so dirty on the inside No!
[Chorus] How does it feel? How does it feel? Suck, suck, suck, suck
[Outro] A thousand lips A thousand tongues A thousand throats A thousand lungs A thousand ways to make it true I want to do terrible things to you

Hello Friends! And good night once again... Again! How are you doing, Friend? I'm doing good! If you wanted to know. I'm once again here with a question, an important question about Drones. Imagine this, Friend, you got a Drone with your hard-earned money, with time you discover, or remember, that "normal" Drones do not have personalities and only follow orders. Would you treat him any differently from a Drone with a personality? I really want to know; some Friends would treat Drones differently if they were only mindless machines, I think. I would not treat them differently, I would still love them, hug them, give them pats, treat them nicely, buy them clothes, and all of that! I hope you answer my question Friend. What are you doing?
>>468760 reposting from /trash/ If I had the context of the show, of course I would treat them as equals. I don’t know if they would like uppies or headpats like we think, but I would never mistreat them. If they had personalities, I would treat them like someone that was part of the household. But if I was born in the MD universe? That’s a tough one to answer. I want to believe i’d be one of the “good” humans like Tessa, but realistically that’s probably not true. I don’t like treating things bad just because, so that’s my answer.
>>468760 Hello Smilefriend, I feel balchdoxmaovuyvbxslslvucinah7c >Have Drone with a personality which isn't normal, what do? Honestly I'd be somewhat creeped out about it, assuming as you said this was seen as an extremely uncommon thing. I think I would try to be nice to it, but I'd be disturbed in this universe about it. It would be like buying a dog and then suddenly the dog starts talking. I'm just forced to deal with it. >What are you doing Bit of a weird question, considering nothing is concrete still but would it be annoying if I decided to divide my Fortuna-3 story into "episodes"? Or should I just look at getting an A03? I'm not sure how big it's going to be since I've been set back numerous times and am once again starting back from the very beginning
>>468760 >factory Worker Drones have no personality Ehh. Dang. I mean, it might take time but I wouldn't demean it in any way. You're right though, I forget baseline worker drones basically don't have any personality until at least decades of adapting human culture. Or the ones who got Fatally damaged but reboot as a zombie drone has loosened their built-in restraints in the programming and so were able to develop a personality more naturally, like WD N, V and J. I'd still try and make the best out of it. I wanted a robot friend and I got a robot friend. And they can still eventually develop a personality, it'll just take time. Like, I have to put it in the legwork telling it stories, discussing how human culture is like, but telling it in advance I don't know everything and we'll figure some stuff out together.
>>468763 You bring up a very good point, with the context of the show most people would treat them differently. At least I would, doing that makes me happy. If they had personalities I would treat them like another living being, to be honest. I guess it's a hard answer since things would be a little different. I don't think so, most people probably took really good care of them, since most people aren't able to just replace the Drone. For example, my family doesn't have the biggest amount of money so a Drone would be something that we would want to be in the best state it could be. I even feel bad if I treat my phone badly, I take care of it since it took time to have it. >>468764 Hi Friend! I hope that is good and not bad. I think I wrote it wrongfully Friend, I didn't mean you got one with personality, but one without one. Here is my answer to what you said. To be honest, I would be a little creep out but mostly really curious, like when you get some unique but good! I don't think it would be the same since with a dog you don't expect that, but with a robot with an AI, I think you would expect something like that to happen, acting differently. You could return it, but that would be throwing something unique out. I would try to learn more from it, if something like a Drone develops a personality I would try to see how he acts, what he likes, what he would think! I think if you are going to write a long fic an AO3 account would be nice, and you later can say you wrote something there and post a link! or the code of the chapter/fic, Friend. You could do something else now that I think about it, if you are going to do a green you could write it, post it here, and then archive it on AO3 like some Friends do.
>>468768 I wouldn't demean it either, I would feel bad. From what we see Drones do not develop a personality unless it is needed to survive, Copper-9 Drones didn't have personalities until all humans died and were left alone. Yes, Zombie Drones seem to have a fast way to have personalities, probably because they are no longer restrained by their code. Same, to be honest Friend. Having a robot Friend would be so awesome! I don't think they could, to be honest, I believe in the theory that they need to be in a situation where they *need* to develop a personality to *survive*. If it develops a personality I could finally speak to someone for hours about the things I love without stopping.
>>468779 What a nice piece, I'm a sucker for this poster style where you cram in a bunch of characters and have them do their own thing. It's expressive and fun.
