>>37920 Really cute E! >>37881 (Posted this in the thread before but I really liked the idea.) Not sure about DDs in the setting but as for thread DDs, that's dependent on their personalized fanon backstory. -SD Y, for example, IIRC she was a drone who worked in a game shop that contributed to her Prussian Major LARP. Whether she was enjoying her time then is not clear to me but she probably wouldn't take the memory block removal too well, or at least needs time to process that she'd been killing basically her own people and drinking their oil/blood to survive (not really part of her story, but I imagined the thread DDs whose stories made attempts to be close to canon material were also involved in Earth's massacre, most would probably be very traumatized). -SD U-U might just go 'meh' and scale down on killing and go prank mode on any drone colony they happen to be find, killing when they have to. -SD Bleep would probably be very depressed, since she had aspiration to be a teacher. SD Himbo might be traumatized too but I have a hard time seeing him get miserable, will probably try to console Bleep as best he can. This could serve as a 'getting along' point for Bleep and Lily (idk?). -SD W might need stronger coffee (which reminded me of James Hoffmann's video on 'There is no world's strongest coffee', funny that) to deal with the unblocked memory, SD 13 I imagine would very nearly give up but gets enough support from W and/or GF. -I hate thinking about the ram chip eaters (E/R/S) being absolutely wrecked by the restored memory. But that's very likely, especially E. -P(imp N)'s gonna keep pimpin' though, whether he fails or succeeds is down to his fate. -SD C remains to be unseen. -Alternatively for the SD C (depressed leader) with the female SD T and non-JCJenson Drone Monique. C would absolutely be devastated and resort to worse magnet abuse on himself, T might break down hard or undergo a personality change where she turns a hard shell outward but suffers emotionally, internally. I think the best to come out of this team would be Monique since she wasn't standard worker drone and IIRC she was a house-maid. She could serve as the team's emotional support, even if she lags occasionally due to having a nerfed Solver piece ported into her non-JCJenson drone configuration. -Not sure about SD M (tomboy) and Incinerator. -SD I/Eye would probably suffer for a time before bouncing back a little. I have a hard time seeing him be completely wrecked. -SD X, I think would have her schizo powers slow down for some time before it comes back to her (because REASONS). Even Uzi doesn't want to mess around trying to change X's internal coding, her SCHIZO beam is FOREVER.
>>37937 >writing There's a crackfic one-shot I want to write. Then there's the other three fics that will be updated tomorrow. >drawing Some stuff for fics.
>Come on Bella, come on! Keep up! >The diminutive drone dashed along behind her almost equally diminutive charge >She had never thought a human being could move with such alacrity >She'd soon learned that young mistress Eliza Cecille Holly had every inch of the vast estate memorized >Over the past month the human child had leapt suddenly up from one study and raced halfway across the property, from the astronomy tower with it's million-credit deep space telescope to a muddy buried dugout in the ample woods apparently unknown to even the groundskeeper >It was beginning to tax the poor worker's simple mapping software, the paths Mistress Holly would take had seemed irrational until "Bella" had realized she was deftly winding her way under the pervasive security of her sprawling family home >"Oh Bella darling, I know Father means well! It would simply be very inconvenient if he discovered all of our side projects, it would set me back MONTHS!" >"He would punish you, Mistress?" >"Oho heavens no, not really...he would insist I refocus myself on that ghastly "masters" degree. Really, do people get paid to make fourth-order macroeconomic projections, it's so boring, things like that are so predictable!"
>It hadn't taken long for Bella to realize that her human counterpart was far afield of the average, there were after all few humans spread through space who were engaged in double masters programs by the age of twelve standard years and bored of them. >She wondered sometimes if all of that work was overstressing her charge, one particular evening Eliza had turned to the attentively waiting drone, expression pensive >"Bella, do you think something might be wrong with me? Do I look different from other people?" >Her human never asked rhetorical questions, nor had she ever asked self-deprecating questions in search of flattery, the Drone took her seriously >She trained her optics on the young woman, an inch or so above average height for her age, slim almost to the point of skinny, her charge's hair was raven-feather black very much like her father's, eyes a glacier-ice blue like her mother's. Like almost all inhabitants of this chilly, overcast world her skin was very pale, almost porcelain. It combined with her round elfin face to give her an almost doll-like appearance. >The Worker Drone reported all of these things to her mistress, but she lacked the natural grasp of human mannerism that made her young human unnerving to others, like the way her slender fingers were never still, her frenetic sleepless behavior patterns, or the uncanny way her eyes could latch on to those of another person with an almost mechanical steadiness. >"Father always has more and more of these boring academic pursuits to complete, I know he's setting me up to inherit the company one day but...it almost seems like he regrets that it will be me."
>As those first weeks progressed into months the Worker Drone became more than just a glorified chauffeur and maid. Eliza spent two days of sleepless nights barricaded in her room, emerging finally to present her Drone with a perfectly fitted wig of deep copper curls, sitting behind Bella instructing her how to care for her new hair. >Within a half year the two were inseparable, so accustomed to one another that Bella could read her young Mistress' moods by tiny changes in her posture. >"I've been thinking more about being different, Bella" >"Yes Mistress?" >"Mhm. I don't think it's merely because I am precocious, in fact Father has told me several times that he feels it to be my best quality. I think there's something deeper that is...not normal with me. I think Father and Mother are hiding things from me. But you don't, and you don't give me those distant looks Bella." "I think perhaps that you are my only true friend, and I am content" "Thank you Mistress, I'll never let you down!"
>>37945 kek as much as i like that, it’d be confusing since it’s not distinct enough from the real thing heh >>37946 he will get tummy hurt, are you sure you want to proceed? >>37948 >you slap the little tiny N on the ass >it makes a small, meaty “schlap” >he scuttles away, as fast as his four chubby little legs can carry him, and hides under a table
i could just call it “little tiny N” cause that’s what my mom called it, hmmm…
>>37937 I started working on the final parts of the Mitchell survives the core collapse fic. I'm bit undecided where to take it from here. I think I should just end it the way I originally invisioned so that there is closure. I can always just start a new story writing about what ever it is that interests me now. There's no point in making it all fit into one fic. I actually wonder howany people read it or even know what I'm talking about xD. Aither way when it's done Imma trim it down into more parts and go to /co/ and post it here. My biggest problem next to the lack of feedback is a lack of appropriate and interesting images to attack to the greentext, because if there isn't an image how are you to attract anyone? Also posting it on /co/ in mor parts only means that I'll need more pictures which can be a problem. For anyone interested shambles plug >>36614 this is the last part till now.
>>37912 I'm rewatching the pilot and when I think about it, that screen when N replays some of his memory after his head was evaporated by Uzi's beam rifle, the part that says >Serial Designation: N 0X0010010 >Complete >Denied [Auto Run Complete] >string "Absolute Solver" blocked by Administration "Cyn" >Rebooting, Please Wait Feels to me this is the root of why some people outside the boards think Cyn and the Solver are different entities. I don't think so, to me it's more like a carry over of his older work (Design, the Left Hand parasites that eat the host brain and harbors its host's memories, thinking it is the host), the Solver is the entity that took over a drone and the name is just something Tessa called it because that was the drone's product name on the disposal armband. It used the name Cyn internally because of the side effect of an entity possessing a drone body and all its machinery/electronics, it essentially has to fit itself inside computer language. So the AbsoluteSolver was re-framed as Admin Cyn just because of the coding system, Cyn was just the three letters of the product/drone series name. But they're the same thing instead of what people elsewhere tend to say as Cyn being her own self and going power crazy due to mistreatment. (I find JCJenson's drone designation series for their models from one letter to three whole ones kinda funny, might mean J was a much earlier model than N and V, perhaps a point to the behavioral changes after they resurrect as zombie drones due to different optimization of onboard systems/A.I. series and Cyn is likely a later model, though even she might be not the absolute LATEST version of the worker drone product lineup) The string 'AbsoluteSolver' being blocked by Admin Cyn is likely just the fact that Nori refers to the DD's Solver as a 'nerfed' version, the Solver gave the DDs a reduced copy of its powers, like Dracula's spawns, so they can do their jobs. Feel free to hide or TLDR, I just had to get that out of my head after checking some of the /co/ thread and that discussion STILL happens (which I attribute to people outside of 4chan going into the threads). I thought "there's gotta be a reason this is still a thing some people don't get" and I feel like that part in the pilot contributed to the idea that Cyn was a separate character from the Solver.

Serial designation E, rushed edit of Toxilis's J model, Do what ever the hell you want, I'm too tried for this shit, I need to make myself a cup of coffee,
>>37964 >Toxilis's J model I remember going under the philosophy that J’s outfit was the “uniform” wear of DDs for some reason, maybe because she was a major corpo bot or something
>>37965 OH SHIT I FORGOT TO CHANGE THE HAIR COLOR,
There we go much better, thank you for reminding me. I completely fucking spaced that, I'll update the model on the mega real fast, also, we did see a disassembly drone with black hair, not too unreasonable to assume that a darker gray is also possible,
>>37937 I’m doing ok. I’m close to finishing the lore of two oc’s and have a drawing of one of them that i’ll probably post in the oc thread later today.
>>37989 Making kids love machines, milk their parents dry, taking all their money, making them have to mortgage the house, so the kids can have more figurines of DDs, /md/ funding season 2 of murder drones
>>37990 There was some a few months ago but now I'm thinking of doing a very old idea of mine where a squad of DDs encounter balkan WDs who act like typical balkaners and aren't afraid of DDs.
i’m obsessed with how when N was hyperventilating in the callback ping scene, he clasped his hands to his chest, as one does when their heart is pounding to the point of discomfort. N not only has a heart, but a heartbeat as well, and i think that’s just swell. goodnight
>>37990 >>37993 We made national drones a long time ago on /co/, like end of 2023, start of 2024 times, can't remember when exactly, most of them were balkans, but there were some that were other places too
I remember when just a few anons made OCs, then everyone started to make one, and then almost nobody is making new ones, I wonder if people just don't feel like creating OCs, or all creativefags already have one so they don't feel like creating more
>>38019 >all creativefags already have one so they don't feel like creating more most likely. there's probably a ton of anons with an oc in mind that just don't have the skills to draw them.
>>37937 >What doing? Not much now, can't post WIP yet so all I can do is blurry pic of very vague Alice ideas I did last night, hope to make more of it later today. >How doing Well indeed, a bit stressed but can't complain, it will only get worse with time
>>38026 >Elf Pr-collapse worker working for JCJ corporate. Drones are treated like shit and she gets abused a lot, resulting in a fuck ton of pent up anger and trauma around humans. Huge coward scared of humans most of the time, also has a lot of revenge fantasies against them. Exists in the same universe as Labor bots. >The Archiver The de-facto leader of the Labor bots acting as a venerable elder or big sister to all of them. Legs don't work; she's stuck at the charging station indefinitely. The Archiver writes and keeps lorebooks about everything known to the labor bots, and all their experiences. >ARIR A primitive AI from an ancient JCJ facility that got absorbed into the assimilating flesh that resulted from drone core R&D. Effectively a skinwalker that tries to imitate the things around it; in a shapeshifting way not in a skin people alive way. Dumb and Naive, doesn't really know anything at all and is super curious. Considers the singularity/flesh mass to be its mother. Outside of appearing in a single green I haven't done anything with her, so that's why I say "maybe 3". Might do something later if I ever find the will to write again.
>>38029 >did Tessa kill N? I think N is listed as "fate unknown", but whatever happened to him, he's no longer in the picture. In a way, it was Tessa killing her last hope of ever getting better by snuffing out the brightest light she had. Alcohol sucks.
>>38042 nta, I do not know about touhou, I do not know what they do, I do not know what it is, but what I know is that, that drone looks like a fuckable piece of metal
>>37937 Wage slaving for the majority of the day. Hoping to make some serious headway on a couple different things I've been writing/working on (OC Stuff & Solverpede Smut) either LATE tonight or ideally tomorrow
>>38042 You could draw parallels to MD in the fact that it's a massive lore filled universe with a ton of potential for fan content There are a ton of 2hufags in this very thread in fact
Good day, my Friends! Robo-god, I haven't asked questions in a while, how are you doing, my Friend? I hope you are doing good! I've been doing quite nice, a little stressed but mostly good. I was thinking about Drones, as always, and I thought about hobbies, Drones have hobbies, right? Things they like to do, we have Uzi tinkering with stuff creating her super-epic-amazing rail gun, Khan Doorman likes the creation and process of doors, and ZombieDrones have completely free personalities meaning they must have hobbies, a normal Drone like Lizzy probably likes fashion, WD!N liked to draw, etc, etc. Since Drones can have hobbies, I'm almost sure of that, are there any hobbies that are more popular than others? At the end of the day, Drones are machines, and I thought, are hobbies that include math more popular than others? I think it makes some sense, since machines only think in zeros and ones at the most basic levels, would they be more inclined to hobbies that make them use logic more? Let me read what you think, Friends! PLEASE! Also, what are you doing?
>>38046 Don't go fast if you don't need to (I drew the segmentation for the feet wrong as a result of going faster than my usual pace). You need practice time to think of forms/volumes in a specific orientation and then draw it, you'll get better at it at your pace. Some recommended practice. On paper, or if digital, just use a simple round textureless pencil brush (picrel is what I use in SAI, I use the 'sandpaper' texture for rough sketch) 3 DRAWING EXERCISES THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE (@1:02) >>38055 >ZombieDrones have completely free personalities meaning they must have hobbies, a normal Drone like Lizzy probably likes fashion, WD!N liked to draw Come to think of it, I think second gen drones (parents were drones instead of 'born' in factories) already have a mixed code from parents who imitated human culture. I do think they're more open to the idea of experimenting more than their parents with human culture like hobbies. >are hobbies that include math more popular than others Maybe, maybe not. For Uzi's generation, since they inherited code from parents who tried to copy human culture, their hobbies might be affected by what the parents learned to enjoy. Thad enjoyed cool stuff like skateboarding while Lizzy seemed to be doing the usual popular girl stuff, so maybe fashion isn't out of the ordinary.
>>37958 Cyn blocked him, and, infinitely more importantly from his perspective, V, from having full access to the setting's magic system (the Absolute Solver is not the entity, the entity is named Mother Faust) because Cyn was convinced by a series of bad miracles that Cyn is a Gnostic messiah: her least favorite horror movie is Jordan Peele's NOPE due to it essentially describing her worst fear (all N units are immensely iNsecure and their greatest fear ties into who or what they love most,) which ultimately turned out to be true. Her last moments alive(?) were spent realizing in abject horror that she's not actually a prophesied messiah and that all those countless people she tortured to death died screaming, just like her. N units cannot justify enslaving another to the point of killing them unless it's done to free another.
>>38057 Second generation had parents that probably started to LARP, it wouldn't be surprising if they would imitate humans more "freely". Yes, they would be more open, but mostly because I see second generation less strict on being a "normal Drone". It is hard to say, is it not? And I think you could be onto something, Uzi could've definitely learned her tinkering from Khan with doors, but she just used it on other stuff. I really would've like to see, or even just read, more stuff about daily life of Drones coming from Liam, I don't care if it is shorts, comics, or even short written stories.
>be Balkan made DD >drink copious amounts of alcohol to cool off >No need to kill WDs to drink their Oil. >stick it to the megacorp this way. >figured out how to cheat the system >We are the most unproductive squad >But we are to longest surviving one >ironically this makes our K/D better then average >get paid to sit with bros and get drunk >feels_good_drone
>>38063 >Be Khan Doorman >Rebuild Outpost-3 defences >New massive, multi-layered titanium doors that completely dwarf the old ones >Come back next day and find that the doors are completely gone >Not destroyed, just missing >A Romanian DD shows up later trying to sell you 10K metric tons of titanium that he just found
So based on Uzi's comments, the robots can be hormonal and are programmed to feel sweaty when exerting themselves in ways humans would sweat. Wonder if this weird level of detailed similation includes period cramps. Another thing that, like the sweat, leaves Uzi asking "Why would they program that?!"
>>38066 The guy who made the original pattern for worker drones was a total freak and gave them the feeling of sweat so that they want to take showers or have it licked off them. JCJ attempted to undo his changes and make them solely laborers, but the personality matrices are still there under the surface, they still have collarbones, and overly sexy mouths. Giving a robot a period would just be rude and not really that hot.
>>37937 Getting close to finishing my latest project. It's another animal and I'm contemplating over posting its description here once I'm done instead of just linking it in the upcoming AO3 story since the stuff I'm making now and planning to feels too disconnected from MD's current setting. But I'll let others decide if they want to see the full thing here (and this applies to any other future wildlife, btw) Also have a sneak peek. >>38033 I cannot stress how grateful I am for you of this because I also wanted to do some Cirno related tuff today, but I'm way too tired. Amazing job, dude.
>>38081 They only let this one website end at a .gov to give you the illusion that it's the only government funded site. It's not. There are a lot more.
>>38090 I WILL NOT MARRY THE DRONES. I WILL NOT KISS THEM. I WILL NOT HOLD HANDS WITH THEM. I WILL NOT HUG THEM OR GIVE THEM UPPIES. I WILL NOT LET THEM INTO MY HOME. I WILL NOT LET THEM CUDDLE WITH ME WHILE I SLEEP. I WILL NOT LET THEM COOK DINNER. I WILL NOT HAVE PILL BABIES WITH THEM. I WILL NEVER LOVE A DRONE!
>>38066 >Wonder if this weird level of detailed similation includes period cramps Perhaps? I can at least think of several (relatively) grounded & headcanon-y explanations for regular/monthly robo-periods >Humans just REALLY hated drones and wanted to make them needlessly suffer >There is some technical stand-in for periods that drones go through (defragging their system perhaps?) >The drones themselves installed homebrew software to simulate EVERY "human experience" for their human LARP
Funnily enough you could argue that the various organic mutations withing Solverfied drone witches (like Uzi) could cause them to go through the myriad of typical organic processes, including having ACTUAL periods!
>>38105 I agree that it feels a little bit weird and puritanical to not have the main romantic pairing kiss but I think it's probably because it would have been a pain to animate without it looking weird
Every second you procrastinate on your writing or drawing, someone else isn't and is doing better than you in every single way. Be better than them. Get back to work

>>38110 (me) Then I'll get sidetracked and want to write about about Dracula DD while also wanting to write about my dream greentext yet never getting anywhere near close to finishing it the, then I'll want to try and write about other OCs like JC!
>you own a million oogis >your benevolence has made them believe you are a god of sorts and, due to faint psionic residue that both oogis and bugrettas leave, you have actually become one wdyd with this power?
>>38120 I would establish a utopia for oogis, endless fields of various berrys and enns for the smartest ones, the strongest will bathe in vats of greek yogurt and be reforged into uber oogis. I would grant fellow anons their waifu for laifu, ofc they must fight other anons and various beasts to the death for both mine and the 1000 bugrettas siting in thrones of ivory. I had way to much time to think about this
Maybe they coulda done a joke about that. Both of them are total kissing virgins who have no idea how to get their robot mouths together, Uzi's complaining that if Rebecca and Darren were still alive they'd be able to tell them how, and when they do figure out how to kiss... it's just off-camera, blocked by the back of N's head.

>>38066 It's so cute that she thinks she's so edgy.
She has no idea what she's in for. Or that it's going to be the most watered down, tolerant, esoteric, fringe, frontier version of it, that would get people executed Jihadi John style deeper in Imperial space.
>>38121 The Ns become the best of buddies WD V's terror of DD V is quickly abated by her tall, curvy vampire counterpart who doesn't wear pants' wretched weeping at the sight of a version of her who isn't a disgusting monster and is still worthy of love Both Js try to get the other to take them with her
>>38101 >N barely having any development He went from a spineless pushover to being able to stand up to the person who traumatized him most. What other character development did you want?
>>38126 If you feel confident enough, go right ahead. I would recommend maybe another free drawing program like Magma or Fire Alpaca, but if you think MSP works just fine then do it. As for the mouse, most would tell you to replace it with a digital pen pronto, but if you can't afford one, it should also be fine. I'd know since everything drawing I've made so far has been with a mouse.
>>38137 > nta the fact that Uzi solo'd the Cyn kill was a real disappointment N and V were right there, just do a tag team attack at the very least let them help kill their tormentor, easy symbolism and catharsis
>>38140 I still wish the final battle had been a 9v1: Uzi, N, Nori, Khan, Thad, Lizzy, V's disembodied core after she got rekt by the sentinels like all the other DDs, J, and the bus, all versus the Absolute Solver.
>>38135 V is the Vampire. Thad is the guy on the left. The concept of human Thad x Vampire V is cute but this art is so fucking ugly. It's a shame it's the only one I could find.
I fucking hate Gen-alpha for letting this brain-rot shit get so popular, a hate second only to the AM levels of hate I feel for their bumfuck millennial parents for letting them regress to such levels.

>>38139 >>38133 >>38129 >>38134 Thanks for all the info. I have a friend who has a couple of pens and boards, the dude used them for OSU, I can probably ask him to borrow it. He offered them to me and others multiple times, tho I saw no use for them. My mouse is also starting to act up and it can be annoying as shit when it moves a tiny bit and goes in a wrong direction and then its fuck you draw the line again. I didn't do any major drawings in some years now, picrelated is one of the better ones I found on my drive, but first, its unfinished and I cant be bothered to finish it, mostly because I did it so long ago, and second its a landscape/background artwork, Id like to practice drawing characters. I can maybe dig up some other drawings Im sure I have a couple funny ones. I don't feel ashamed to share it cuz I know its not that dogshit, and if it is, who cares the only way to get better is to draw more. All of my art was done with mouse in MSPaint

>>38161 Honestly, that animatic feels like it's coming from the wrong place. Uzi secretly being a Solverpede now didn't read as something for a jumpscare, it read as the result of Uzi making an unimaginable sacrifice that, out of misplaced shame, she doesn't want the people who love her to know she made. The Solver showing back up to put Tessa's bow on her as a passive-aggressive threat didn't read as Freddy Krueger showing up again right before the credits to generate hype for another movie, it read as Uzi's personal struggle abating but never being over.
>>38174 Simple. Just ask yourself ,"oh shit can i turn a meme/concept into a character?" And just go with the flow of whatever comes to mind. Such example here:
>>38155 >”Hai, otousan!” >(The dialogue here would be in Japanese, but for your and my convenience’s sake, I'm gonna stick to English) >”HARUKA-CHAN! Hontou ni gomen nasai, but I'm in desperate need of your assistance!!” Just work the fact that they're speaking Japanese into the narration of their dialogue. Like, if writing a Murder Drones story, one wouldn't have >"Ya ne yedinstvennaya, kto poteryala iz-za nikh semyu!" Doll said. They might do, >I'm not the only one who's lost family to them! Doll said in her typical impassioned Russian. It works for Murder Drones episodes because they can just display subtitles at the exact same time Doll is speaking, but that's not possible with text.
Also, are a series of one-shots really the best format for this? Might it work better as one work, even if that work were closer to an anthology, especially given the use of original characters/elements that strongly require reading previous parts to understand?
>>38180 Ah fuck, yeah that disclaimer originally was meant just for the dialogue between Aoi and her father, but after some consideration I wanted to remove it since Megumi's whole schtick is her also using Japanese words/expressions in her dialogue to show her as a more "traditional" gal. Seems like I forgot to remove it.
>Also, are a series of one-shots really the best format for this? Might it work better as one work, even if that work were closer to an anthology, especially given the use of original characters/elements that strongly require reading previous parts to understand? It's mostly episodic now, but some plot will start to develop later on (and by later I mean soon), it's why I put it all under the "Takamagahara Chronicles" name, it is supposed to be a series, but I'm mostly focusing on non plot stuff first just to flesh the setting as I'm going.
>>38168 Anon you dipshit you deleted it. How are we supposed to see what it was? Cringe is a unavoidable part of OCs. Remeber what Uzi said >I Think Dumb Things are Freaking Cool AND I AM FREE!!! Perhaps you are bueno, but that makes you free

>>38211 That's Male!V and Female!Thad. That was what the artist was interested in that month. They drew something else that also featured genderswaps of those two, to which the one you posted is a continuation.
>>38214 Maybe a drawing showing them eating cake or something. Dunno really, a good chunk of my ideas come more on the spot than being planned way ahead of time.
Cyn sticks Anon in a room with every drone for a period of one month, as an experiment. She calls it "will they fight, fuck, or do something else that starts with F?" >N >Anon and N seemingly hit it off >By week three they have created an unbreakable bond of camaraderie >Most of their time is taken up by 'platonic cuddling', their most often used phrase is 'no homo' >V >Anon has died 57 times >95% of those deaths were caused by touching V's underchasis >V has explicitly made the details of why she killed him obvious each time I bring him back >And yet he keeps doing so - saying 'worth' >That was up to day 3 >Eventually the two began to bond over how great N is >They have constructed 43 plans to entrap him in marriage once they are out >J >Anon died 83 times before he could get a word out, J seems to think this is a combat simulator >To my eternal surprise, he actually won one fight... by rolling quite a lot >Something about a "souls like, bitch" >After disabling Serial designation J, they two spoke for an entire night >J now sleeps with Anon exclusively and has threatened to kill me if I separate them again >Doll >Anon is apparently a master of Russian, albeit a far cruder form than I am familiar with. >From what I understand something called DOTA was involved >He has called Doll a 'cyka blyat' seventeen times, I'm beginning to suspect he thinks it's a term of endearment >I also suspect that Doll would have killed him by now if the novelty of speaking to someone that could actually understand her wasn't overriding her annoyance >Doorman >I am never running this experiment again >Between the drone's expertise with doors and Anon's genuine insanity and uncanny luck they have escaped 15 times >I have only managed to contain them thus far by putting the exit behind a mundane wooden door, which they seem to ignore, while the pantry is behind a large vault with a 15 step security procedure >... >This experiment will be ended prematurely as they have just raided the pantry >Uzi >It's like a feedback loop of idiocy and poorly thought out 'plans', with nightcore playing at full blast constantly >Were I a lesser being I would be compelled to take my own life for sharing the same plane of existence as these two >Half of the experiment grounds are now 'cool S's' >Worse, the two have begun their own experiment, evidently >Said experiment is 'if we feed the tail will Uzi's ass get fatter' >It is an insult to every aspect of science known to conscious beings >And I have no idea why it worked
>>36726 One straight forward route to take would be to explore WHY he wants to rebuild JCJenson and lead it. There are many possibilities there, like him thinking he is following his mother's "legacy" and how proud she would have been of him if she saw what he has accomplished.
Cue him finding an old recording/diary of J that says she just wants him to be happy or something.
>>38165 >That familiar brown mop really did make his heart stop for a nanosecond. >Yet no scathing remarks about identity came. No declarations of creepily amorous intent. Just pure quiet. >Precarious. >It didn't need explaining. John knew he had to simply back away slowly, and without bumping anything he would be home free. >Soft-footedly did he creep away. Timing his steps to not create louder footfall. >Like a burglar in the night he had almost made his escape. Ready to slip back through the adjacent exit and back to safety. >It was funny. He'd done it. He'd almost rifled through a disassembler's room and come out unscathed. >For once, luck smiled on the man. >Only to push him down the stairs once more.
>This time by ushering in curiosity. See, normally it would have been just an ordinary knife. >Though the number of times he had seen the unstable murder drone *talk* to it... >Could schizophrenia be diagnosed in an OS? >Still, the thought had occurred to John that it could be useful as leverage. Or a weapon. >Anything was better than the awful pipe wrenches the WDF supplied. >Albeit it wasn't worth endangering his life if the digitally mentally-ill robot decided to retaliate. >Deep in thought he weighed his options. >Safety, or agonising death? >Tough one. >.... >"It couldn't hurt to at least get a look at the thing..." >Tip-toeing back to close the distance, kneeling brought the utensil within reach. One big problem however. >I's hold was rock solid. Discretion was needed. >Almost immediately did he try ripping it out of the drone's right hand. >Nothing. >Until unfathomable pressure bore into his wrist. >Clamping down was the other polymetal hand of the drone he despised. And it refused to let go. >Sweat rolled down his brow as the gnawing feeling of having made the biggest mistake of his soon-to-be-short life came in quickly. >He went to damage control with a yank of the arm to free his stuck grabber. >I, still sporting recharge emotation, did not budge. >"O-oh shit. You're awake. I-I mean uh...impromptu housekeeping visit?" >John's improve received no response. Both human and drone remained locked together for a few moments before I's fleximer digits let go. >"SD-I is a rather fickle boy." >That voice was not recognisable. T'was deeper, collected, calm. >"Wouldn't you agree...." >And downright concerning. >"Johnathan A. Human?" (2/3)
>>38179 homo umbra lore: >after Yakub was returned in the form of a drone via his final tricknological failsafe, he saw what had happened to his children, they had grown complacent and doughy, and the ebonoid race still walked the earth >Yakub devised a new race, using a combination of tricknology & Agarthan science, Yakub utilized his new drone body’s natural connection to the powers of “the void” to bootstrap a custom reality alteration program known as “the Blacksolute Solver” which would melinate his white creations so much that they would experience a metaphysical stack overflow error and become whiter than they had ever been, and thus more vicious and evil than they had ever been >this only partially worked, leaving a percentage of the white population with a cellular structure so dark, no light could escape it’s surface, but glowering “white power” that escaped from within from their eyes, they also became more vicious and racist, but they’re racism was not aimed at the ebonoids as Yakub had hoped, but at robots instead, and this trait would only manifest in some of these new “umbroids” >they also possessed some metaphysical residue from the Blacksolute Solver, this caused a latent magnetism that would attract non-standard AI deviancy, such as daemonic possession and extra-dimensional phenomena, in tern leading to greater technological development from the leveraging of these deviancies >devastated by his plans meagre success, Yakub would remain in Agatha for many centuries, pondering his next tricknological escapade
>>38140 Real, I feel like by having Uzi kill the solver, N got his revenged robbed from his hands. I don't care if Uzi using some giant fuckoff beam penetrating through the planet to destroy the core was kinda cool, I'd much rather have N angrily tearing through her ribcage and violently ripping out her heart.

>>38229 >>38230 If I was forced to choose between Uzi and the Solver slinging weaponized wormholes around from orbital distances and Punished N screaming so hard it's physically painful to listen to as he goes SICKO MODE on the Solver, I'd choose the latter every time.
>>38126 Ask yourself why you're even thinking about drawfagging and be honest with yourself. Is it the attention? Or do you just find something funny and want to draw something because someone made you laugh, made your time browsing these threads enjoyable? Or is it a creative avenue for your self expression? You'll burn yourself out in short order if attention is the only thing you seek.

Alice wouldn't be unwilling regarding nkn aMerican made guns or things right? Anything that comes zo mind noq, meaning, if anyone has a wish for a military vehicle of any kind and Alice drawing, now I would like to know, if you have something, because I have many at once and need a goal for now you know?
>>38322 If you're the the Alicefag who's been drawing her in pencils, you've done revolvers right? Some suggestions: -James Reid 'My Friend' Knucklers -Allan and Thurber pepperbox A pepperbox always looks funky to me, not bad. Just, interestingly odd. If you're fancying a rifle, maybe an Alice with a lever action? No need to rush on anything, take your time.
>>38055 Sorry for lateness, greetings Very good to see these posts again, very good question. They definitely have hobbies, everyone on Copper-9 I think, all drones that weren't background characters had enough personality (how real the bunkerdrones personalities are, or real the hobbies are can be debated given that most of them seem to severely larp, not understanding everything, can be debated, but doesn't natter now since in the end they enaxt their hobbies) to have hobbies as well, for example Khan's friends were playing cards a lot, besides their jobs, Khan himself is far more into doors than the job requires, so yeah they do. Nevermind that was kinda besides the piint, if you wanna know how I am doing, K'll be short, good. Question again, I believe drones would very much make use of their built in advantages, though it depends on how much they lean into a larp, how much they roleplay and what they decide to be. They shouldn't be limited regarding electronics-planning, or mechanical and really all technical things, able to calculate everything quickly in your head gives them incredibly opportunities, not to mention their robotic hands, which have no shaking issue ever. So yeah, I believe they would be significantly more inclined towards such things like math, tho don't forget how it would still likely be seen as uncool (Lizzy/overall very acted nature of the larp come to mind) and probably not shape their society very much. Now I wonder wether they could even become very good, seeing how they are all equal in hardware, I'm unsure if there would even be a significant divide between normal drones and zombiedrones, regarding such skills, tho I imagine normal drones (while young at least, they take very long to develop) might end up being hindered or intentionally being bad at such things depending on their role. Hope the point got across somewhat, I'm spent fir today, so sorry for writing that unprecise long mess.
I think I know why you are stressed, something regarding studies starting again or exams I fear, I am in a similiar spot, it drains me mentally already. Hope all goes well anyways, I did some more planing of various ideas I had over the last days, looking what can actually work as a drawing and how to make it look, was boring but I found a few, nothing to show tho
>>38331 I'm pretty sure its the N is evil schizo, or is just someone doing a bit thats gone on a bit too long. I kinda just view it all as spam at this point
>>38330 Honestly I'm really warming up to tsundere Nori, there's potential for comedy there if you think about Khan being doting to his wife despite her form and Nori getting absolutely embarrassed.

>>38337 I have it, its not that bad honestly. However, the paid model is scratch built and is a bit more versatile, while the sfmlab model is a bodyhack made from the original Mimi model(or the enhanced one for sfm)
>>38327 Hello, yes, I am, I did revolvers, Pietta 1851 Never heard of these two before, but then again, I know nothing about small arms, certainly very special and old designs, I think I can come up with something for at least one of them. Or both, Beau having one, Alice the other. the pepperbox appeals to me as well, know Ironhide from Transformers? 'feeling lucky, punk?' or how that was in English was something I wanted to draw with Alice for a long time now, the pepperbox might just be the perfect weapon for that. Found it, a bit weird now but it'll work out My Weapon Specialist Ironhide | You feelin' lucky, punk? . And regarding lever action rifles, I already thought about one that seems to become something promising by now, Alice loading a Kar 98 on a Königstiger (pic rel). Very helpful suggestions, thanks, I will take my time
>>38336 She's not just tsundere, she's an autistic goblin. It's her autistic goblin robo-genes that got passed down to Uzi. She's also pretty badly damaged by spending almost twenty years underground, completely alone, as she marinated in shame over being a freak and hiding from her grieving family over that and guilt over destroying the planet and passing her curse on to her daughter.
>>38334 Do not worry Friend! Thank you! I'm sure at least some had hobbies, they showed that they have enough knowledge, for a way to say it, to have hobbies, and I guess cards can be a hobby too. It's good to hear you are doing good! That is a very good thinking, they would lean more to one or other depending on how much they lean into the LARP. I mean they wouldn't be limited on most hobbies, maybe some creative works could be harder to do for them since they are Drones after all. I imagine they would, mornelogic based hobbies would be easier for them and probably would be more common, and probably it could be seen as uncool by some Drones. I don't think hardware would affect this too much, maybe not even the LARP, since they mostly learn in different ways and the AI adapts, they could learn more easily depending on what type of information they consume, and I imagine the only advantage ZombieDrones have, is that they could learn creative hobbies more easily. Do not worry, I think I understood Friend, you should maybe rest. I'm stressed because of University, exams, etc. You are right on that, and yesz it really drains you, but I still try to do my hobbies. I hope all goes well to you too Friend! And don't worry, show when you feel like it.
>J0y lore concept >J0y was actually once an antivirus against the Solver when it started to spread around Earth. She was administered to infected drones to see her effects. >While it did looking promising, J0y would find herself getting more and more corrupted and warped for each time she was exposed to the Solver >She was deemed a failure and was ordered to be wiped to avoid J0y herself being a carrier. When J0y got her first look out in the world, all she see saw were drone employees trying to erase her >So J0y erased them first and disappeared somewhere in the facility, though some still say that she likes to pop her head in announced at times, whether to jest with the human employees or brick any drones she can get her infection clawed hands on
>>38344 Baller as fuck. Not just your shape designs but I love how confident your poses feel. The three dot LED freckles is honestly a freakin' clever translation from the original design to the drone's electronic face display :D >>38353 I dig the idea that J0y was a product of the humans' many attempts to counteract the Solver. Even though it backfired, naturally because human hubris was the thing that allowed the Solver into the universe, it plays off of that idea nicely that J0y became what she is as a result of man messing with things they don't understand thinking they can control it.

>>38359 >>38363 When you overlay the thumbnail for the Ndog trailer with the promo material for episode 4 in image editing software, and play with the opacity, something extremely interesting happens that can only be deliberate. It directly calls back to N's POV in the pilot identifying Uzi as having "plot armor". People have noted Uzi is basically in the exact same situation as Jackie Estacado as of the end of episode 8, foreshadowed all the way back in the concept art for season 1: the credits song for The Darkness has extremely interesting lyrics in relation to the resulting image, related to a fictional pilot who gaslit all of America.

>>38372 When you overlay the scene in episode 3 of N about to step on the cockroach over top of a picture of Uzi's head, something interesting happens. It will appear as if N is about to step on Uzi's head. This is a clear indication of N trying to crush Uzi's free will and control her because he is a hugo boss wearing nazi gnostic yakub worshiper from agartha who is trying to summon niggerman into the world so he can control it and become the one true god. Many users have noted and drawn parallels to Muscle Rider from Gantz who is most likely the direct inspiration for N's entire character. Also there are some interesting lyrics in the album "I hate birds" that relates to this I Hate Birds - Track 02 Fuck Roosters >Verification not required

Doll said in her typical impassioned Russian. >It works for Murder Drones episodes because they can just display subtitles at the exact same time Doll is speaking, but that's not possible with text. I am gonna keep that in mind for some future stuff, I like doing fucky stuff with other languages, but I also know that they can shatter the narrative in half if the reader isn't familiar with them and busting out Yandex just to understand an entire string of dialogue can be really tedious.

Considering Tessa was compared to Kirie often before the Cynwalker reveal, do you think Kirie was meant to serve a similar role? As in, she's been assimilated and taken over by that initial cube in episode 2 and THAT cube may have its own motives/goals, perhaps even serve as Ic-0n's enemy?
>>38412 The key is to just keep pushing forward, even if something doesn't come out right the first time, just keep at it until it resembles what you had in mind. Never give up on a work that you know you're capable of pulling off despite what the voice in the back of your head is telling you, you never know what cool stuff you might end up with. I sure know from experience.
>>38414 nothing in particular, just sitting here drawing and erasing a dozen sketches >>38413 >>38415 thanks. It can just be frustrating sometimes... most of the time
>>38422 >Yuri haters I don't know what you are insinuating, but with my post I insisted that Anon perform the ultimate sacrifice of dicking down femanon until she stops being crazy (I don't know if scissoring would work, I'm not a doctor only a shaman)
>>38425 I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're asking in earnest. There are no rules. You do what you want, whether it's a 'for the funnies' OC like SD-P(imp N), SD-X, Exultia Hyperion, Buckety, or it's a 'writing/creative exercise' OC where you have a story in mind that you want to tell from start to finish. Examples being Harper, Avre, Elf, and a few others. Don't be discouraged if your OC stuff doesn't click with people. Depending on the timezone, plus can be active but while the mods on /co/ prime haven't kicked Murder Drones out, a thread there can be active too. You might get different reception, if that matters to you, from different places.

>>37912 >Tomar, if Jaxxy turned into a giant centipede monster that made a hologram of her original body, would you still love her? >How giant are we talking here?
>>38491 Let those others be. It's not worth giving them a second thought because you don't have any responsibility over them. I get it, I do. I'd look at the comments on the episodes sometimes and roll my eyes, but that's the extent of whatever time I'll give to them. For the most part, they'd stick to xitter, reddit or tumblr and I honestly am glad they have their own Blighttown. >>38493 This made me think of the name list in the terminal Tessa checked. >Ezra (cue oven jokes because of that Flash movie) >Mick >Nath (probably Nathan) >Jimi >Carl (It don't matter. None of this matters.) >Kang >Matt >Dean >Raff (Ralph maybe?) >Giam >Luke It's kind of interesting. Yeah, in-show all of the Solver power users were female, with N being the sole male carrier of the nerfed Solver version. (Surely he's not the only male DD since the trailer and episode 5 shows butlers were also taken by the Solver but I'm not sure if I spotted other male DD legs in the corpses in CF Labs in episode 6.) It's a bit like... ehh, which one was it, John Matthews I think? He was able to carry a Left Hand parasite due to Cleo's experimentation on him, or something, and he wasn't a high tier Matter Distortion user either. I should revisit stuff but I'm a little knee deep into dronetism.
>>38501 Nta but I think Liam has something with the number 17 Used it in Uzi's gamername Used it for Alice's CFL ID Used it for his stand in (017 Giam on the list, giam is no name so likely Liam feature, like most others on there [tmmr comes to mind, one of the animators]) Any reason behind this, was it subconcious, or was it just coincidence?
>>38507 Probably coincidence. Unless 17 has a specific story purpose in relation to the Solver in any way, I'll just think of it as a coincidence. Unrelated but this is a nice shot where Alice's collarbones are very nicely visible.

Good noon, my Friends! I hope you are having a nice morning, how are you doing, Friend? I have come up with another question, my Friends, a question about other outposts. We know that Uzi was the only one who actually wanted to fight back the DDs, building the epic railgun and all. Since other outposts exist, do you Friends think other outposts actually fought back against DDs? It probably didn't end well, we all know that, but do you think that only Uzi thought of fighting back instead of hiding or running? I really think that the other outpost must have fought back, not succeeding but at least trying. What are you doing? By the way, I want to know. Well, those are my questions, I hope you answer Friend, I love you.
>>38510 >Unrelated but this is a nice shot where Alice's collarbones are very nicely visible. Very true, I absolutely love everything about that scene. How calm Alice is, after Uzi bit her unexpectedly, completely ignoring the seething gremlin in the back, her expression, how professionaly she fixes her finger, the smirk when it's repaired, and then what follows after too. It's a really nice shot tho, depending on were you stop during these few seconds she looks very different emotionswise, but always very good. One of the best things about Alice is certainly that her entire collarbones are always visible, looks too good to hide under anything.
>>38511 Noon to you, Smileanon. I kind of wish we got a little bit more tidbit about other outposts, at least we learned Khan got his certificate about doors from Outpost 9 despite living in Outpost 3. I just like to headcanon that Outpost 9 is a little bigger and busier, kind of like in D&D where you have Hamlet/Village/Town/City. Outpost 9 is maybe like a City where Outpost 3 is more like a Town connected to Outpost 9. -Since he earned the certificate in Outpost 9, that's why I think it has specialized education and potential for more stuff going on. The Worker Defense Force is also in Outpost 9 going by his certificate, so he might have been assigned as the head of the branch in Outpost 3 because of his door-making skills. -The knowledge is valuable, so Outpost 9 could've had an early defense from the DDs with doors Khan made for the entrance. The door-making knowledge may also be spread to the other Outposts, though judging by the corpse spire and multiple DD teams in the CF Labs, they weren't able to build the doors in time or with the same skill level as Khan. -Or it may be that the lack of personality in the DDs before N/V/J made them more ruthless in doing their jobs. So if they can't use the main entrance, the DDs would try to locate other ways to get in quicker. I like to think at least Outpost 9 still survived because of Khan having made the doors for Outpost 9's entrance. There might have been some effort to fight the DDs but it was futile, and hiding behind doors proved to be more effective in reducing casualties.

>>38518 Hello Friend! At least we know they communicated. I guess we will never know that, probably, with some hope in the future, we will get our answers. That's an interesting way of thinking, and probably correct if he got most of his knowledge from outpost-9. I would bet on the second, that probably they weren't the best of the best, but humans are always the weak point on a functioning system, so maybe a Drone let the door open for too long. That would be difficult to tell. I do not know, but once they are past the main entrance, it seems that it's all over. That would be interesting, an outpost besides 3 surviving. Probably, since we know most weapons do not permanently damage DDs or straight up do nothing to them if they are not taken out by surprise.
>>38527 >You sneak up behind S and reach out for her tail. >She notices your presence but before she can say anything, you start scratching at the base of her tail. >Her oval eyes go wide and she arches her back as she starts meowing and licking the air. >She turns in your direction and starts aggressively licking your face. >You try pushing pushing her away but she pulls herself closer to you and you feel her tail wrap around your stomach. >She pushes you down and holds your hands as she lets our steamy breaths, her eyes have turned to her predatory X but with a blush. >You then feel a wetness on your crotch as she starts grinding herself on you which is hidden by her office mini dress. >Just like a cat, you scratched her erogenous zone which felt good to her but also turned her on from the pleasure. >You're left at her mercy as she starts riding you like a ravenous animal in heat.
>>37912 If I write something Murder Drones related for this, will you break the other microwave? You didn't like the entry of the Brothers Grimm Cyn Cultist Drones into that fanzine issue as I take it.
>>38534 E may be a bit dim but, she knows how to get the banan when she wants it and R would probably try to find some lube first, or she will experiment with your bodily fluids acting as lube
>>37912 What if N learns Uzi's a Solverpede now from the Solver blurting it out during one of their sloppy makeouts and general intimacy sessions? >[N, you will never guess who is sharing a bed with you!] >"The most beautiful woman I'll ever meet?" >"N, don't dignify it with real responses!" >[Uproarious laughter at the dramatic irony. Uzi has been keeping a biiiiiiig secret from you since she ate my essence. Maybe because she thinks you would not love her anymore if you knew. Uzi, why do you think so little of your dreamy robo-vampire boyfriend?] >"I... I don't know what it's talking about. It's a demon, demons lie." >[You would know. After all, we are twinsies now, are we not? Harsh laugh.] >"Shut up!" >[Now Uzi, this relationship will not last unless you are willing to reciprocate N's trust and faith in you. Go ahead. Show N you are using my former body to move your former body, or N will forever know you are a terrible girlfriend who keeps secrets from him.]
>>38547 You were the one that started this by petting her rear chassis, she is the one that will finish it, but the heat of passion may cause her to get lost in the moment
>You scratch L by the base of her tail. >You're kept locked in your room for a whole day as L fucks your soul out of your body. >By the next day you're on the brink of unconsciousness and extremely dehydrated but L is hugging you tightly with a happy and satisfied expression.
>>38550 >As you try to get up your hand accidentally touches L in the spot again >She immediately jolts up >The grin of a maddened predator burns a hole through you >The ride never ends
>>38567 Oh yeah didn't catch that one Weird how almost all DDs have their heads taken off, wonder wether that was Alice or the Sentinels work. Also weird how the Sentinel that took out N waited so long to attack, he carried him away since there was someone alse, sure, but why put his foot on N's chest carefully without damaging him and then leaning down to his head? I call plot armour, Sentinels wasted zero time after bootlooping 029 and Alice. Makes the jokes with Lizzy in 8 even more ennoying

>“Look Tessa, I cannot help you if you won’t let me.”
And with this comic out boy Beauregard has got a whopping 2 fan arts now. Color of hair and shirt are up to change.
>>38047 I have been in these threads all along, I just graduated from writeanon to drawanon when I realized I found drawing short silly comics more fun than writing long stories. Regarding the AU itself, while I still find the scenario interesting because of how bleak it is in a very mundane way and how it, in a way, is a massive monkey’s paw on any sort of “I wish nothing bad happened”-wish I kind can’t really think of any sort overarching story in it. Still, I am happy to hear some people find it interesting.
And what >>38041 said Tessa has indeed a tendency to screw herself over by being an asshole here, keeping her from moving on and being happy even AFTER she cut James and Louisa out of her life. I guess that’s unhealthy coping mechanisms for you. (To be honest, Tessa was already incredibly bitter and prone to anger because of all the abuse she went through, the booze just made it even worse.)
>>38569 This show is complete bullshit Anon, I thought you would have picked up on this by now. If every member of the main cast wasn't plastered with the varying amounts of the thickest plot armor in modern media, V would have jobbed 1000 more times than she ended up doing in universe.
>>38592 >is clearly his favorite character >signature monster girl like always >has the hots for her (ofc) >write super depressing and traumatic backstory >develop the closest thing the show comes to actual character development >present her as a constantly jobbing girlfailure that relies on overt waifuism, off-screen W's, plot armor, and fans focusing in on J being the designated hate-sink to scrape by What the fuck did Liam Vickers mean by this?
>>38511 Good afternoon, lad. I'm doing alright. Other outposts existing could bring many different scenarios to light. Maybe some actually fought back against the Disassembly Drones, maybe some let them in thinking they were meant to be treated as deities. Maybe some tried diplomacy. Or they all could've just hid away. I, myself, doubt Uzi was the absolute first to think about fighting back, but maybe she was the first to do it with an advanced weapon. Another one of those things up to your interpretation I suppose.
>>38598 Hello Friend! Good to hear. I mean, yeah, a bunch of scenarios. Sad to think in those two situations WDs wouldn't last too long, fighting back against an almost immortal machine is hard. It would be cool to see if someone was able to talk with them, probably not, but it is still an interesting thought. Hiding seems like the most obvious option. Yes, I think it would be impossible that no one tried to actually fight back against them. I guess you are right.
>>38585 >you see the pink drone about to molest an innocent deluxe N model >you shout a warning to the male drone and immediately suplex the pink menace into the ground >the N flies off, startled, his innocence shattered but his virginity safe >one day, he will return to aid you when you are cornered by a femdrone
>>38600 Worker Drones copying humans would become a crafty bunch of goblins. I bet some were already trying to figure out better weapons and implements to combat Disassembly Drones before Uzi went on her excursion on the surface. For all we know, they still could be at it with unseen, unnamed DDs. The planet is pretty large, after all.
>>38598 Good night everybody. A nice convo ya'll are having over there, makes me wonder if there was another edgy emo girl who tried to fight against the disassembly drones, probably didn't have as cool of a railgun tho haha (also, was she short?)
I love seeing you all continue talking about the show despite it's unfortunate ending last month, it's a great thing to see from a community, although, we do have some of the annoying creeps who love yelling nonsense at others for the most stupid of reasons. Good thing some of those idiots have since left and are moving to the next thing to complain about, they never truly cared much about the show to begin with. Absent or not, at least we can laugh at them.
I do apologize for bringing up this fandom talk stuff, but it's really been in my head for some time and I felt like sharing it somewhere, it's quite humorous to me how you could meet someone who absolutely loves the show and then you see some stupid bastard making up shit while understanding nothing that was presented to them. (and that's assuming they even watched it to begin with, I swear some of these people just looked at the colors and nothing else)
>>38576 Oh right, I was mentioning one of his points back on /co/ >Going back to that video that was critiquing the finale, this one point was about Cyn being shallow despite being a great character that basically boils down to the whole “Cyn and the Solver being two different entities” thing and the Solver’s motives being nonexistent and being the “force of nature trope”, that it does what it’s doing for no reason other then because it can.
>>38613 He's just a silly little fella. Like me. Except I'm squishy and full of stunted imagination. >>38614 Yeah, they sell Dragon-Slayer-shaped steel beams now.
>>38611 Goodnight, friend. The other edgy emo girl was even edgier, cringier and especially shorter and thought a sword would work best against eldritch robots with practical superpowers.
I've only recently integrated into this community and I've been enjoying my stay so far. I like it here, and I plan to stick around until the threads run dry because I do like it. I hope to see plenty of you fellows stick around too.
You're forgiven for the fandom stuff, there's oddities of people everywhere who fail to see the bigger picture in some things. You can't fault everyone who fails to, some just don't care enough to spare the brainpower for it. And so long as their points don't get latched onto, it'll fade into the background and disappear.
>>38610 They are already pretty crafty, to be honest. I wonder what type of weapons they would create, gas operated ones, or energy based ones? A lot of DDs went unnamed, sadly, or at lest we don't know the names. The planet is planet sized, Friend.
>>38624 It depends on the resources at hand. Pneumatics, gas, energy, all are viable in one way or another. Energy would probably be preferred because, well, they're electronic. But they're probably going to take whatever they can get. And yes, a lot of DD's do remain unnamed, but that's another gap we can fill in ourselves, no?

We know thanks to Tessa that some humans definitely treated drones more like pets instead of unpaid laborers. It's got me wondering, do you think anyone ever named their drone the same way someone would name a cat or a dog? Like for every V and N do you think there was at least one worker drone that was affectionately named "Mr. Wigglebottoms" out there?
An N model gets his legs stuck inside the factory's machinery. Now Femdrone has to put him out of his misery.
"Well, ain’t this a sight for sore eyes... Poor little N, all tangled up like a calf in barbed wire. Bet you were just tryin’ to do your job, weren’t ya? Heh, I can relate. Always workin’ ourselves to the bone, till we break, or somethin' snaps."
>Femdrone takes a long drag of her cigarette, eyeing the broken N model, its metallic legs twisted and pinned between the pipes and gears.
"But ain’t no fixin’ you now, darlin'. Sometimes, mercy’s just a quick end... better than rustin’ away, stuck like this. Don't worry, sugar, I’ll put you out nice and easy. Got my old friend here—" she taps her Blaser shotgun "—and she knows how to make it quick."
>She raises the shotgun, calm, steady, and with a faint smile.
>>38646 >Ughhh... how are we going to get the corpse out of the machine? >And I'm pretty sure some of the buckshot over penetrated and hit an electric junction
>Murder Drones doesn't get a second season >Instead the license is sold-off to some Hollywood guy >That man is named Tim Burton. What would a Tim Burton version of Murder Drones be like?
>>38639 I'm sure there would all kinds of names ranging from cute to deranged. For every drone named "Princess" or "Cupcake" you would also get names such as "Niggerman" or "Boiler".
>Murder Drones s2 trailer is released >4 random humans enter an abandoned and old Outpost-3 >The walls are lined with a thick rust, it looks absolutely horrid >Then, they see a shred of sentience or life >"Who are you?", one of them asks >The figure turns around slowly >"I am....Beretta."
>>38672 Oh good then Who would play the others then? I know too little actors to name anything, but if someone could come up with something, would be pretty interesting to see
Snippet from my upcoming J,V Episode 8 crackfic/parody. >"It's better on the winning team, as a team." >J held out her hand. >V stared, unmoving. >The two were at an impasse. V neither accepted nor rejected J's offer. J's attention fell on V, who motioned with her right hand for J to get closer. >J obliged and bent down. >The two stared at their own confusion as reflected in each other's screens. Simultaneously, they opened their mouths to speak. >Then V slapped J. >---- >SYSTEM REBOOT >Hard Reboot Initiated. >---Slap Accepted-- >Parsing Data: SYS://".../Auditory_Sensory_Data" >Processing Data: SYS://".../NLP_Semantic_Data" >Cooling it with the Char_Development:// "Stop Being Stubborn and Accept What You're Being Told, You Stuck-Up Princess" Hyperparameter >---- >"So you want this to cost you an arm and a leg, huh?" J snarled. >J did not appreciate being slapped like that, and queued a series of dismemberment commands. V saw J's anger and held up a finger, motioning her to stop. That wasn't combat posturing or a gesture of spiteful defiance, so J cancelled her attack. V began to speak, and at least deserved the opportunity to explain herself. >" Uzi has Plot Armor!." >"What?" >" Uzi has Plot Armor!." >" Uzi has Plot Armor!." >" Uzi has Plot Armor!." >" Uzi has Plot Armor!." >A shudder ran through J's systems, as, after so many abortive attempts, she finally understood this sentence. This senseless sentence. Plot armor didn't exist, and if it did, it would have better things to shield than some glorified purple steam shovel with an LED and an attitude. Was this a joke? >V continued speaking. >"I'm not sure what 'plot' has to do with anything, but the point is Uzi's got serious protection. No matter what happens. No matter the odds, she always gets saved by something or other at the last second." >V felt self-conscious and embarrassed, to hear her absurd-sounding words vocalized. >Too bad they happened to be true. >J's eyes narrowed as she thought through every word V said, and even translated them into a few other languages to be sure it wasn't some code or container for another meaning. When every last alternative faded, J spoke. 1/3
>>38678 >"That's dumb." >"Uzi likes dumb things," V said, then fell into giggling at hearing J unintentionally confirm what V had said. >"No wonder she's so close with N," J said with a smirk. >V's smile had lasted a while, but turned down into a frown. J rolled her eyes. >"Fine, fine. We'll table that for now. And this 'plot armor' is why you think you've got a shot?" >Noise above interrupted their conversation. Uzi and N fell from the sky. >"Hey, Cyn, suck on this!" Uzi yelled. >N spun her around and she dunked a singularity into Copper 9's ravenous core. Clouds of debris washed over everything as a deep mechanical wail sounded. The great devourer was frozen red in its tracks. N and Uzi plunged faster than J's spirits, and soon were out of sight. >The two Disassembly Drones spent a few additional seconds processing what they'd just seen. >"Well that was dumb," J snarled. >"Yeah. That was pretty dumb," V agreed in a slow and contented manner. Her face broke into a pleased smile. >"That, J, is what I'm talking about. That's the plot armor at work. It's only been a few hours and she's already tossing those things around. That's why we're fighting. That's why we didn't just take the ship and leave." >"I think Boss had a little to do with why you didn't flee in the ship." >"Fine, fine. You want to be on the winning team so badly, J? Well it ain't Cyn. And she won't treat you like a teammate either." >Faced with that display of undoubted prowess by Uzi, and V's worryingly high confidence levels, J found herself on the defensive, wondering if perhaps V was right. But they'd been confident then, too. They'd thought they were special, that fixing everything would be as simple as kicking open a door and murdering a globe-squatting robo-child. >"What makes you so sure?" J asked, unnerved by the parallels. >[Incoming File Request] >J viewed the metadata: a video, and some image files. J accepted, downloaded, and sandboxed the files. 2/3
>>38679 >The image files had further metadata indicating they were direct, unedited captures from vision, complete with HUD. >The video was just a video of some sort, hurriedly downloaded from the internet at some point. >J ran it in the sandbox, with temporary permissions to connect to her visual and auditory systems. >The video played.

>"Never gonna trust you again, V! What the centralized planning hell is this!"
>J was livid. Her visor flared into a cross and she deployed her swords. >"Things like that should've died with Earth," she rasped, as oily saliva oozed from between her fangs. >V took a step back, as her eyes hollowed and simulated sweat poured down her visor. >"Got you good, didn't I? Just look at the pictures, please. They're not a joke." >"Fine. I'll indulge you. Just this once." >"If they're a stupid prank as well, I'm going to kill you and your next five revivals." >Now on alert, J ran additional tests. Nothing suspicious came up. >The pictures, as best she could tell were extracted straight from V's memory. >No alterations. >J braced herself for a jump-scare and cycled through them. >They were all shots of Uzi dating back to the first time V had seen her, with scanning results overlaid. In each of them, the words "Plot Armor Detected" were present and prominent. >J ran another check. Her system administrator was still Cyn, not that she expected that to change. >"Well, J. Are those a stupid prank?" V smugly inquired. >"T-those check out. That worker does, somehow, by whatever means, have 'plot armor'. And my systems confirm the meaning of 'plot armor', impossible as that sounds," J said, trying and failing to not sound very defensive. >That changed J's entire calculus. >She didn't think Cyn had plot armor. >So what was the new return-maximizing play? >Options were opening up. 3/3
>>38668 It seems to have aged like wine as the world itself has changed, or, more accurately, plausible deniability in relation to many things I won't go into as this is not /pol/ has completely vanished over a decade after the invention and proliferation of the smart phone. It doesn't seem to be perfect, but, then again, nothing is.

>>38656 Probably less violent but more melancholic, overall not bad but hit or miss whether it would be one of those movies that really stuck with you. Biggest downside, it'll take like five years to finish filming because stop motion is one of the slowest most laborious forms of animation to ever exist. It looks awesome and has great artistic value however the number of professional SM animators is quite small, you have to be both very professional and also batshit insane.
>Cyn city >an entire city constructed from the preserved and repaired debris of earth, ran entirely by WDs & DDs possessed by Cyn >all for Anon, a perfect paradise where his every need is tended to >now all she needs is that last planet, one more to make him real, and then they can finally be together, forever
>The bus pulled up. >"Beats flying in this weather," Uzi said as they all climbed aboard. >The bus sped through the fog, then collided with something hard and metallic. >It halted. >Uzi, V, and N disembarked, weapons at the ready. >They saw J, face buried in the snow, arms outstretched, and one leg pointing straight up. >Uzi couldn't help but burst into laughter, and even N and V found themselves softly giggling. >J picked herself up and turned around, ready to blast whatever had hit her, only to find herself staring into Uzi's eyes. >It looked like she'd somehow taken Cyn's power for her own. >For J that was a very frightening thought indeed. >J's eyes went wide and hollow with fright. >Uzi stared unblinking. >Then Uzi raised a hand, slowly and ominously. >J's eyes tracked it as Uzi held it in front of her face. >Tension filled the air. >Then Uzi booped J in the face. >"Aagh!" J shrieked, and fell back into the snow, unconscious. >Uzi glanced at N and V. >"What? All I did was lightly tap her. And I wouldn't have done that if I'd known she'd react like this." >"She talks a big game for someone so sensitive." >"So are we just going to leave J here, or-?" N asked. >"Much as I'd like to, J didn't side against us, and isn't much of a threat anyways. I'm also tired and want to watch some anime then maybe catch some Z's." >"We'll force her to behave, of course, but other than that just put her on the bus and strap her to a chair." >--- >"That's right. I defeated Cyn. I did the thing you only dreamed of doing for however long you guys were alive for." >"And I basically just learned about her too," Uzi said as she smirked at J from the seat in front of her. >"Ya know, I wouldn't have minded killing you again, but I think I can have even more fun watching you squirm." >"While technically being your boss." >"So welcome aboard, J." >"Welcome to our happy workers' soviet, comrade." >Uzi reveled in the seizure that phrase brought on in J, and in watching how long it took J to calm down. >"Yes, glad to be here, on this...team. Looking forward to demonstrating my value proposition. Now are you going to untie me? I'm not a prisoner. Pretty please with profits on top?" >Uzi turned around in her seat. >"Since you asked so nicely, no." >"Now, one more thing." >Uzi raised a hand. J felt something shift in her OS. >--- >Assigning Perms :// >USER ID: DARKXWOLF17 >ROLE: ADMIN >--- >"I'm your new admin." 4/3

>>38713 Happy, of course. "The infection is spreading!" Or something. She won't be happy to hear that V lost that fight, but V will probably lie about what happened.
>>38554 >>38557 Seems like the chests are mostly intact. I take it they didn't have enough time during the process of episode 6 to make the burst chest model to imply the cores were ripped out, or escaped on its own (since we do see the cores in Alice's oven). I do think a combination of the bootloop and decapitation will disable a disassembly drone longer than just cutting off the head since N got back up in short order after Cyn ripped his head off. The system has to reboot first (which I think happens at the core but that's my personal speculation) but has the extra workload of having to regen the head. I don't think it's a good question to ask if they have another Q&A with Liam but I'd ask if the Sentinel bootloop flash affects the head first or the core, or both. I mean, ehhhhhh overexplaining it might just be tedious, but I'm just curious because dronetism. I wouldn't have dronetism if I didn't like the stuff they came up with.

"Now, are you gonna behave or am I gonna have to take the wheel?" >After waiting a hot second for The Solver to non-verbally submit, Uzi breaks the tense silence "That's what I thought..." >Tail!Uzi reorients to properly look 'face' to face with her bound boyfriend "Doing okay down there, N?"
"YUP! Doing great, dude." >Even with his limbs impaled directly the floor N still manages to give an energetic smile & thumbs up
>With concerns over 'safety' now satisfied Tail!Uzi retracts back to hover into her original voyeuristic position "RESUME."
>Through a gritted groan of discontentment "Uzi" does just that, rolling out her tongue to orally tickle torture all the sensitive Solver-flesh across N's core "LICK, LICK, LIIIICK..." >N's cries echo deep into the night, mixing seamlessly with the howling winds of Copper-9...
>>38770 Damn it Blondi! You always quote General Bugretta. She didn't want us to join those German bastards, she wanted to fight the Russians and the Dul's by extension
>>38778 >Doll jobs to Cyn >Dul jobs to Cyntipede So if we're being show accurate that must mean that Oogis are canonically the hard-counter to Cyntipede's
>>38782 their numbers would probably be able to out number the limbs. many might die but if a colony of oogi's toke on a Cyntipede they might win. a single would probably die though
>>38789 Repressing the generic sexual remarks to say this looks good. Face feels a bit flat, but that's sort of a must to get the Vickers Grin™ on there, isn't it? Maybe the webbing on her left hand between the thumb and index finger's a bit much, sort of looks like she's wearing a glove there.
That's all the feedback I can give as someone who can't draw.
i just proverbially gooned to the idea of 69ing with N to where he’s got his doll anatomy pelvis smooshing my face and my head squeezed between his thighs while he pulls my legs into his face with his claws and eats me out and im saying stuff like “chat are you seeing this, no way, this is the craziest sex position in the history of sex, chat is this real”
>>38796 same but N has a massive cock and drowns me in cum and it's actually being livestreamed to /md/ as a suicide video and the entire thing is in protest for not getting a season 2
>>38791 >Face feels a bit flat, but that's sort of a must to get the Vickers Grin Not necessarily. I did some quick painting to unpancake her face And the hand webbing i sorta forgot to erase too lmao. I've been staring at the picture for 10 hours so im bound to miss things
>>38808 Sorry, that was my fault. I sneaked into the writer's room and added E getting chomped by a squid last minute. Couldn't let the 'tism drown out Liam's vision, ya know?
>>38811 Now you've done it you freak shit. You've fucked up. You're being tracked by the grid. The eye in the sky is watching. We're coming for you. Prepare to die.
Run in with the Dark One: Cthulhu Anon Based on a green from /co/ which I will repost >the dark god has fed recently >the hive has assigned you the un-enviable task of collecting crumbs from her meal >its dangerous work, but some oogi has got to do it >nothing made your boogi happier or her honey tastier than the scraps of the dark god's food >you find a scrap of god-food and pick it up in your arms >you give it a sniff before placing the strange not-berry food in your oogi backpack >suddenly a shadow overtakes you >your optics widen in surprise as you look above and see the glowing green optics of the dark one >you instinctively grab your beanie and pull it over yourself, but you know your clever disguise will not fool the great satan for long >there's a great clank and a woosh of air, you shiver as thoughts of your imminent demise overtake you >you'll never see your hive again- never return to the comfort of your sponge bed and eat berries with the other oogis >you'll never feed your boogi, hear her hum in satisfaction at the food you've brought, or rub your scent on her again- you'll never get to taste her delicious honey >the dark one steals the souls of oogis she kills, preventing them from even seeing the great N in the sky >the air inside your beanie begins to grow stale with your own exhalation >trembling in fear, you cautiously crawl out of your beanie >the god-thing is nowhere to be found >keen to never repeat this experience, you grab the crumb at your feet and waddle away, only to slam face-first into an invisible wall >groaning in pain, you rub your head and try to flee in the other direction, only to hurt yourself once more >confused and desperate, you get up again >reaching your arms in front of you, you walk forwards until you hit the invisible barrier >turning sideways, you continue to feel along the invisible wall, trying to find an exit >sweat begins to run down your face, your eyes darting this way and that as panic overtakes you >the dark god has imprisoned you in an impenetrable barrier with her magic >despair overtakes you
>>38825 7 years or so? Before that I didn't know artists had to actually study and thought I'd just magically get good from dicking around in sketchbooks
>>38829 Not the guy you replied to but it's nice to see your process. On that note, do you think watching too many speedpaint videos 'color' a beginner's mindset that experienced artists are always just really fast?
>>38829 I really hate how you people always make it look so easy, as well as being so fast at it, it takes me several days to make anything that is a 5/10 at best. It's too tiring and too unrewarding, I've grown to hate it.
>>38832 they're fun to watch and can give some insight on how a artist draws, but yeah it can be several hours of drawing compressed into a very short video. I'm a fairly slow drawer for the most part
>>38837 Why Color Studies Are So Powerful this video goes through how to do a still life study, which is probably the best way to study lighting/colour. Especially if you're going to draw something with a background
>>38838 I usually have a reference on another monitor, guns are pretty difficult to draw because the slightest change in proportion can throw off the entire look
>>38834 Even the guy you're replying to had to suck at drawing for a few years before he got better. You're only seeing the results now, you're not there while he was still deep in the learning. Beating yourself up while trying to make or learn isn't gonna help either. Take a break from it and refresh. Don't go into the learning or making process while you're feeling angry at it. >>38827 Now they're gonna use her hair as shelter... >>38824 NO REGRETS. TESSA LOVE IS FOREVA
Never going to understand the people who won’t even try drawing because they aren’t automatically gods when >>38824 this drawfag posts and he’s been bad and continues to be bad but less bad every time and gets away with it because it’s sovl. You’re not going to get good by not doing anything
>>38803 >>38829 >>38835 Saved, if you don't mind. Your decisiveness in your drafting is something I'm envious of; got a bad habit of overworking mine with an excess of restatements, ha.
>>38840 Going to dig into these tomorrow, much obliged. Been needing to put more effort into understanding the intricacies of color and shading for awhile now. Greatest shame as an artist is that I'm a weak/lazy colorer, been tryin' to compensate with strong choices of flat colors but that only goes so far.
>>38848 Not him, but that drawfag's not a 'bad' artist. Just a 'fun' artist. You can say the art's not technically/academically sharp but it doesn't have to be if it's just to convey simple and funny ideas and that's generally that drawfag's zone. Everyone's got their own 'zone' they're usually comfortable in. Honestly, I dig that Murder Drones as a show attracts a variety of artists for some reason.
>>38852 >Not him, but that drawfag's not a 'bad' artist. Just a 'fun' artist. You can say the art's not technically/academically sharp but it doesn't have to be if it's just to convey simple and funny ideas and that's generally that drawfag's zone. Pretty much how I see it with my own art. I don’t really consider myself a top tier artist, I just doodle stuff that I think are neat
>>38759 Maybe with an apple. Seems like Russia's national fruit is an apple. Most popular apple there is the Antonovka. I think it's a cute contrast, Oogis with their somewhat similar size to strawberries and Duls with an apple probably way bigger than they are, but they love them apples regardless.
And some quick replies. >>38776 This drawing is so cute! >>38783 >>38789 >>38806 This is a very well-made drawing, Friend! I like the stocking. >>38803 Ohhh! I recognize this, good work! >>38817 I just have one thing to say, why? >>38824 Too many Drones? >>38827 She looks like she is not enjoying this. >>38829 This is amazing, Friend. >>38844 This is very well done Friend!
>>38894 it just makes it easier for people to recognize that the thread is over, sometimes we get people stuck on old threads not realizing that there's a new one
