Hi Friends! I hope everything is going nice today, but it will get better because we will talk about the Drones! As always, talk about the Drones, the Threads, OCs, Canon, etc. Hope you have a good day. The pretty Booru: https://dronebooru.co The wheel of gorgeous OCs: https://wheelofnames.com/8hc-stc Last Thread: >>93851
Wah The time has come Salonanon/AVRE PT 6 FINALE This turned into 2 stories happening back to back but made it one. Expect a lot of AVRE content today folks.
>Be Salonanon >You're in front of your former (and soon-to-be Current) workplace. >After months of construction work (those DD’s damaged the Store’s foundation in the fight… somehow.) The barriers, scaffolding, and construction materials were taken out and replaced with a small stage and a large tarp covering the front of the shop. >Jim managed to get a “re-re-opening ceremony” setup. Despite the shop being almost comically small compared to the crowd that's already forming. >That Bastard. You've never been a fan of crowds, he's lucky you recognize most of them as previous customers. >After speaking with some ‘very wealthy looking’ company higher-ups, the ceremony begins. - >Due to the author being a coward who couldn't write this section without it being long & boring as all hell, He will provide highlights instead: >Avre showed up, and is currently standing with you on stage. >You don't know why. >It is later revealed that Jim managed to convince both higher management and R&D to certify Avre for security work. >When the ceremony is finished the tarp is dropped, revealing a large sign with the name: “Machines Mane” on it. >Besides the sign, the rest of the salon looks pretty nice. - >After the ceremony ends and you're given time to finally open the place, you are flooded with customers, most old tendons, some new. >Jim, while the store was still being rebuilt, was busy preparing scheduled appointments for when the salon reopened. >Now that it has, you got about 2 weeks worth of scheduled checkups to go though, and a refurbished shop to do it in. >The first day ended up making you more money then the last week of work you had previously >And that rate kept up, for the next 2 weeks, while you went through the list. >After the backlog was finally cleared, your workload slowly went back to something resembling Pre-fight Salon work. >(You) probably would have been burnt as all hell if it wasn't for Avre being there now. >She's meant to patrol not just your shop, but every shop in your mini-mall area, but when not patrolling she usually hangs out in the salon. (and on bad days, in the Salon’s utility closet) >While she's not certified for DroneSalon work, Jim is, and she can help with desk work, while Jim chips in with the second chair while you work on the first, easing your workload by a considerable amount. >As for the security job itself, she was a bit shook at first, but once she got the hang of her job consisting of 50% “walk around and and intimidate potential tomfoolery” & 50% unending paperwork, she got into the flow of things and seems happier overall. >She's also around you potentially 24/7 now, so any time she starts having her “locker episodes”, you can easily hop on break with her and go someplace dark and quiet for a while. >There's been at least one instance of Jim coming and wrangling the 2 of you back to work after both of you fell asleep during the process. >Otherwise, everything seems to be looking up for you. Money is coming in steadily again, your managers are happy at such a successful re-re-opening, and Avre seems to be having less episodes out of random now, and any that do pop up, you can handle with little stress. >on the topic of Avre, recently she's been labeling you as “caretaker”. >Considering the work you've been doing helping her with her issues, and also housing if you stretch it a little, it makes sense. >But that's still an odd title to be given by an off-duty war machine, especially since you're not really trained for such a duty. >...shouldn't there be someone certified for such a task? The End(?)
>>94814 >You get a knock on your door >It's been a few weeks sense the shop reopened, and about 6 months from when you first met Avre >You open the door, and you are greeted by a worker drone. >Its wearing a Oversized white coat, a White hardhat,white mailbag, and its display lights are mostly white with the Slightest shade of blue >Only non-white detail on this drone is a Purple clip on its ID tag wrapped around its neck, with the name “WD-1334H:Harp” >It speaks in a pleasant, but professional tone. >[“Hello. You must be Anon, is Avre here today?”] >before you can answer, the sounds of stomps approach you from behind. >[“Harpy!”] Avre yells as she runs past you, scooping up the little drone in a hug. >[“What mail do you have for me today?”] The drone struggles to sift through its bag while still in the grips of the sentinel. >Eventually the note is found, and Avre releases the drone, and as she reads it, he departs with a quick salute. >As Avre reads the letter, her smile fades and is replaced with the look of mild concern. >She walks back into the house, still reading the note. >You follow her into the living room as she sits on the couch, still looking over the note. >You ask what's wrong. >[“Oh nothing, It's a reminder of my Bi-yearly wellness check, back at the my Outpost.”] >She continues. >[“I did my first one right after I came back from my last mission, guess it's that time again.”] >She doesn't seem very excited about it. >She pauses for a second. >[“There might be a way for me to bring you along, would you mind?”] >You don't mind at all, you've never been to anything close to a sentinel base before, so why not? >Besides how spooky all the researchers and some of the drones youve seen from that division are, you try your best not to think about what happens behind those closed doors. >You accept her offer, and ask when the check in is scheduled. >[“Oh we can go right now, they're fairly lenient on when we show up, just that we do.”] >Without another word she gets back up and walks out to the car. >The drive itself is a surprisingly lengthy one, Avre’s instructions leading you out of town and into a deeply wooded area. >Eventually you pull off the main road following this side road, eventually leading to some sort of gated checkpoint, with guards. >Armed guards. >You pull to the gate slowly, trying not to look nervous as one of the guards walks up to you.
>>94815 >Lucky he seems to recognize Avre. >[“Hello Av’, is this one with you?”] >She replies and introduces me as her “caretaker”. >[“Caretaker? Alright. He’s still going to need a guest pass, give us a moment.”] >After looking over (you)r id, snapping a picture of you, he goes back into his little office and comes out with a small ID tag for you. >”Anon E Mous. Guest|Caretaker. >With that, you're cleared through, and after a while you see the main facility. >Nothing particularly interesting about its exterior, just a fairly rugged and overbuilt looking office complex >The interior however feels like a mix between a hospital & a bunker, with flat concrete walls and large metal doors sectioning off each area. >The guards aren't any less armed then the ones outside, some giving you weird looks as you are dragged along. >Avre leads you through the complex until you enter some sort of waiting room, where you both check in and sit. >After a few minutes, Avre is called and you're left in the waiting room, only accompanied by 2 guards, a few other Sentinel drones waiting, and a distinct lack of entertainment. >Still better than the D.S.V. (Department. of Spacefaring. Vehicles.) >You try checking your phone, but the lack of reception and the funny expression the guard gives makes you think better. >So you sit. >there's not even a clock in this room, there's a hook for one on the wall, but judging by the dents in the drywall in that section, it midve been… moved. >As you wait, several Sentinel Drones of various shapes and sizes enter and exit the doors. >But no Avre. >Then a woman comes out, dressed in a mildly dirty lab coat. (Not Holly) >[“Anon? Is there an Anon-E-Mous Here?”] >You stand up. >[“Come with me please.”]
>>94816 >You follow her through the doors, leading to a hallway leading into rows of side rooms, you're led into one and sit down in a room that seems more like an interrogation chamber than anything else. >The apparent researcher sits across from you and pulls out a few files that they look through. >[“Under normal circumstances, we don't share this type of information privately unless given proper curcumstances… We've agreed that the current situation is one that allows us to share such info to you and you only.”] >She slides over a forum, given a quick read, it's some sort of NDA.. >You are silent as you read through it more thoroughly, eventually you sign it and slide it back over. >Surprisingly even in the fine print there wasn't much on the NDA that was overly oppressive, besides the line that boiled down to “if you breaked this NDA, you've qualified your body as a donation to science.” Otherwise just a bunch of instructions not to publish/expose any of the very secretive information they might provide you. >After you hand back the signed form, she continues. >[“Alot of this Information is regarding SD-Av|RE: the drone you are “Caretaking”, is that Correct?”] >Considering your current circumstances with Avre, you nod. >[“By now you must be aware of her…quirks.. With her personality?”] >If they mean the obsessive clinginess, Locker episodes, thousand yard stare, and preference of resting in tight, often claustrophobic areas? Then yes, well aware. >[“Then you might also be aware of how debilitating it is for her, to have these.. Quirks.”] >You nod. >[“However you see them, we believe them to be side effects of her deployments throughout her service.”] >[“Up until recently, our development of effective solutions to the Sentinel drones Mental stability has been… underfunded:”] >She continues as she hands you another paper, this one listing informations on Avre’s “symptoms” >[“Sentinel drones throughout the years have radically changed from the first iterations of them, we didn't have the infrastructure planned out that such a force would need now because at the time, the issue was solved in other ways.”] >[“Mind wipes, Core resets, Memory screening, those were all methods we used to keep drones in good condition while not on active combat, and if those didn't work, stasis or complete shutdown would be needed while more extreme work was done.”] >[“Avre was one of those drones that required heavy memory screening in the past, and as recently as her last checkup, was scheduled for possible sedation if her mental integrity didn't improve.”] >She hands another folder over to you. >[“Luckly, she managed to convince some of our researchers on a Proposition”] >looking through the file, its information about… (you)?
>>94817 >Pictures, background history, information, even things such as your height, bloodtype, and preferred meals, how did they- >[“All of this information was Gathered by Avre, to provide us enough to see if you qualified for such a task as caring for a drone of sentinel classification.”] >But… Why me? Why not someone more trained for a task like this, like a professional caretaker or physiologist? >[“Good question, however the choice was ultimately Avre’s to make, and through her own decisions, chose you as her candidate.”] >She puts away the rest of her files and pulls out a remote. >[“Think of the last 6 months you've been caring for Avre as a ‘trial’ of sorts, a way to measure any possible improvement a program such as this would be for a drone's wellbeing.”] >She hits a few buttons, and a screen comes on behind you, showing a scene of what appears to be a courtyard of sorts. >[“And so far? The results are better than expectations.”] >’Enemies’ load into the courtyard, along with barricades, cover, and an overall lighting akin to what you'd see in a slow paced stealth video game. >The Camera follows as ‘Avre’ Enters the scene. >This is some sort of combat simulation for her. >[“Avre’s combat scores previously where above average, but her improvement recently is nothing sort of Impressive!”] >How Avre fights is about the farthest thing you've seen from ‘graceful’, she seems to prefer bluntforce trauma over everything else and more or less fights like a cracked out gorilla. >But at the same time she does it with such speed and apparently… stealth, that she's clearing room after room without triggering any alarms. She simply pummels everything within arms reach with such speed and agility, there is no time to react. >[“Avre has a strange track record of ‘Subduing targets’ rather then outright terminate, but for the purpose of this test course we counted both as ‘eliminations’, the Stealth however was kept optional.”] >On cue, with only a few ‘enemies’ left, Avre goes loud. >A group of enemies: consisting of Disassembly drones, flesh abominations, and mutated looking humans, are in a small group out in the street. >In a nearby alleyway, the sound of a trash can being knocked over is heard, alerting the group. >As they all round the corner to investigate, they are met by the wreck of a burnt out taxi being hurled at them at about a quarter the speed of sound. >This Pastes 5 of the 6 enemies of the group, leaving one very unfortunate human enemy cartwheeling into a pole, badly hurt, but alive. >Not for long, for as soon as he stumbles back up, he is grabbed by a claw attached to a tow-cable, which drags him back into the alley, the sound of something being ripped asunder is heard. >All that noise alerts the final enemy: the apparent ‘Captain’ of the group, an upsized and upgunned Disassembly drone, wearing a fitting hat and garb to fit his role. >He shouts out asking what the hell that noise was, and is only met by deafening silence. >After a moment he readys a combat stance, ready for whatever amount of bullshit is about to head his way. >Unfortunately, He was standing on top of a burnt out building, and didn't account for the enemy coming out from below. >An arm punches through the floor, grabs the Captain's ankle, and pulls him (along with a section of the building) Down. >The sound of the crumbling building masks the absolute ass-beating the captain is receiving. >Before long the counter listing ‘enemies remaining’ finally ticks down to zero. >The simulation ends as you see Avre burst from the rubble, the Captains ID band in hand.
>>94819 >The video cuts there as the researcher continues: >[“As well as her combat performance, her mental stability improved in ways we haven't seen in years! Whatever care your giving her seems to be working, she's fighting harder then ever and seems better out of combat as well.”] >[“If you can keep up this recovery path, we can take her off the Stasis list and potentially use the info gathered by this to better evaluate the other drones in our care, something we need all the help we can get with because we are Severely underfunded in this department.”] >[“so you keep doing… whatever your doing, make sure to document anything and everything that could help with this process-”] >She stops herself for a moment. >[“we might be getting more potential ‘caretakers’ in the future, but technically you're the first one that actually showed up, and the first showing any amount of progress, so expect a lot of eyes on (you) for the foreseeable future, not just Avre’s”] >[‘So uh.. Keep up the good work Anon, Avre’s counting on you, I think.”] >She packs up her things and leaves the room, leaving you Alone for a brief moment. >But she pops her head back in the room a second later. >[“Oh and uh, you might get paid for this, no promises…like I said we are underfunded, bye!”] >Mm. >That was a lot of information to take in such a short period of time. >But before you get the chance to process any of it, the Door opens again. >It's Avre, Looking drained as hell. >She doesn't even greet you, just falls into your arms as she mumbles something. >[“I hate combat tests…”] >After a brief chit chat about what the two of you just went through, Avre asks if they can head home. >You oblige, and she leads you back out the facility, and back to the car. >Instead Of hopping into the passenger seat, Avre instead pops opens the trunk and- >Climbs in. And closes the trunk behind her. >Understandable. Without another word, you head off. >As you head out again, you're stopped at the checkpoint you came in again, you're met by the same guard that let you in earlier. >[“Judging by the funny scan your car is giving us, and the apparent lack of a front passenger, is their by chance a Sentinel-class drone in your trunk?”] >After a brief explanation that “yes she climbed in there herself, she does that.”, a confirmation via a quick trunk inspection, and another confirmation by the main guard sharing a story of him finding Avre in a pantry once, things are cleared up. >But before you leave, the guard stops you one last time. >[“Before you go, can I see that guest pass I made you earlier? Dr. winters told me to give you an updated one.”] >You hand over your old pass and he gives you your new one, Same format, but without the “Guest” text on it, just ‘Caretaker’ under your name. >With that, you're finally cleared through and you head home.
>>94820 >One uneventful drive later, you arrive home. >You get out and… Avre is still in the trunk. >You open it expecting her to be asleep or something, but besides looking a little sad, she's well awake. >Considering your options, you decide not to potentially lay in the trunk of your car for several hours, and instead scoop the Drone out like one would pick up a rolled up rug. >She holds on to your neck and you basically bridal carry her into the house. >You make your way to her room, and ask her if she wants to be set down on her bed or in her locker. >[“Locker, please.”] >You set her inside, however she doesn't let go of your neck. >Seems she's feeling clingy again. >After a moment, you Join her inside the locker, and she closes the door behind you with her tail. >Before long you are completely wrapped in her embrace, She sobbing into your shoulder as you brush her head with your one free hand. >This is far from the first or last time you will need to do this for her, but its alright now. >You're here for her, as much as she is here for (You). The End.
With that, the “Main” Salonanon/AVRE story has come to an end, but this is far from the last I write of them. Think of these stories as a ‘foundation’ for the other stories, the point at which the story is now is going to be the status quo for these two for a bit: Salonanon working & providing care for Avre, and the upcoming stories will be about the shenanigans that happen as a result.
This also allows me a chance to work on other things (i've generated a hefty backlog of non-md things I wanna sort though before doing these again) (and also I think I need to improve my writing ALOT lmao.) I'll still do art and i'll still do greens, ill also be here to provide any info/help to anyone who wants to do anything with this setting/these characters, because I intended all of this to be board OC stuff and not “my OC plz dont steal” bullshit.
>>94821 Thanks to phoenixanon and all the other wonderful writers and artists that created the stuff here that inspired me to start writing greens. It's been a great time sofar and I don't intend on leaving until this shit is deader than machinecraft.
But now with all that out of the way, it is time for the lore dump of everything I wanna share that I couldn't quite fit in sofar: (ill also try to stay as active as possible today to answer any questions, so feel free to ask anything)
>>94822 >Avres story concept as a character first started as just another iteration of the “Field Sentinel | Relcaimer-Class Sentinel” idea, and turned into ‘What if we made a setting where we saw what sentinels drones where like after all the fighting had stopped, without taking away the fact that these things were brainwashed/mindwiped constantly, and are stuffed with more PTSD per square inch then sardine cans’. >Sentinel drones, with their vast knowledge and low self restraint in invading people's privacy, would most likely seek out people they think could help deal with whatever amount of mental illness is on the table. >You WOULD think that, after the fighting stops, the same people who originally developed the sentinel drones would be the ones who would help them try to deal with all the mental mindfuckery they subjected them to, or at the very least put em out of the misery after its all said and done. >But no, almost immediately after the war ended and reconstruction started, funding for R&D was cut to next to nothing, and all active sentinels who weren't an immediate danger to themselves or others where sent out to do labor/security work to help R&D pay rent to the many sentinel labs still active. >This meant a lot of very unstable robots, some with next to no experience with the general public, were now working alongside humans, worker drones, and in some cases, rehabilitated Disassembly drones. >Things went poorly. >But sentinels are smart fuckers, and besides being whackjobs, where incredibly adaptive and basically ‘figured things out’. >Some were lucky, as smaller conflicts started not long after the solver war ended, and while the subjects of said conflicts will remain a mystery, it did mean some Sentinels could continue fighting as originally designed to do so. >One of those was AVRE, who took part in many conflicts both during and post solver war. >But eventually, there was enough of a break between combat that AVRE was sent home, and that Mental illness came home with her. >She basically latched onto the first human that looked at her with any amount of niceness (Salonanon) >After a wellness check not long after she returned home, her mental state was bad enough for the researchers there to consider putting her in stasis indefinitely until they found a solution (or didn't) to her many MANY issues. >But she convinced them that “Hey I found this guy that's neat, can I stalk him till he likes me?” >After that, with the help of Jim, (Yes, that Jim) she crafted the series of events that ended up getting her and Salonanon together, with only a few hiccups. >Turns out, Salonanon ended up being a good pick, despite being the most average man to have ever existed. (Hes still meant to be a self insert, give me a fucking break here.) >After the 6 month trial period that the researchers gave AVRE to trial Anon with, the results were solid. >Her mental stability improved, and her combat performance came with it, costing the researchers next to nothing. >(That random bit of money Anon got was basically a “thanks for keeping our Sentinel drone happy, here's money”.) >This is going to be the start of a slowly developing system that what's left of R&D will use to start ‘rehabilitating’ the more unwell sentinels back into mental wellness, or at least close as they can be without a factory reset (because those are surprisingly expensive when you aren't getting blank checks anymore.) That's about it for now, this is essentially my attempt at a “good end” for Sentinel drones without it being 100% Hodr or fully dismissing the fuckery that went into making sentinel drones into sentinel drones.
Ill be here, once again thanks to everyone that has been apart of these threads.
autism compelled me to attempt an Akita nose. I think it'd look better upturned (I think that's the right word) but that said, looking at a few of the other renders it looks less awkward than I initially thought
My SD-V got her needle feet stuck in some grates. Now she's waist deep into it and her wings don't have enough clearance to get her out. Evens I help her out, odds I ask her to call me step-brother.
>>94852 Good luck with that. I wanted to learn how to make clay figures but haven't had the disposable monies for the stuff I need. Not sure if I wanna go air dry or polymer clay yet since I'm entirely a novice.
>>94862 It is cheaper (and more respected among cosplayers) to buy fabrics and base materials and sew your own outfit. For the limbs I suggest you look up how people did their Winter Soldier cosplays on youtube. For the hands you can either put on latex gloves and draw lines on them with a sharpie or you can wear stretchy gloves and glue soft, stretchy segments on them. The options for your face are more complicated. Do you want to look human like the people in the video earlier or more like a drone?
>>94863 Air drying clay shrinks and you have a limited time to work with it. If you have strong hands then buy a pack of FIMO and play with it. You have to knead it first to soften it for use. They even make FIMO that glows in the dark. It needs baking in an oven to harden, so you can play with it as much as you want, leave it, and get back to it days later. But beware because unbaked FIMO will melt any plastic it comes into prolongued contact with.
>>94864 Bro we get a thread a day, question is wether we'll have 125 by new years. Three months ago I said we'll break 100.000 by years end and people were suspicious (was before 8 tho) >>94851 Alice evolved from that no way😱 Wonder how long I'll have to keep waiting till they finally release some Alice behind the scenes stuff
>>94872 the gloves I was probably gonna do compression gloves with a foam shell that looks kind of like worker drone hands. I Have all the patterns in my head it's just getting the time pace and money for it.
I do watch alot of cosplay videos on YouTube so I do have a general idea of how everything goes together
>The options for your face are more complicated. Do you want to look human like the people in the video earlier or more like a drone?
Alright, this was quite the experiment and I'm fairly happy with the end result, so let's introduce my first Labor Bot OC. Say hello to Lapin, then "streamer" Labor Bot.
>Labor Bot that lives in Sector 82, the current biggest city on Copper-9, being around the size of Manhattan and surrounded by a giant dome to protect it from the planet's brutal weather >she's somewhat of a local celebrity due to being one of the most popular streamers/musicians in the area, a career she took in order to spread the good word for Labor Bots, as their population has grown more and more on C9 and now they're crossing paths with Worker Drones a lot more frequently >somewhat of an airhead, doesn't always know what she's doing, but she enjoys the fame and being seen as an “ambassador”; she can also be a bit of a smug cunt thanks to her body upgrades making her taller than most average Worker Drones and Labor Bots (which isn't surprising, Sector 82 is known for being a place where its denizens like customizing their look and Lapin took that idea and ran with it, hence her appearance) >loves collecting things, especially of the shiny variety like gemstones, her most precious possession being an amethyst she found while live streaming a cave exploration on the outskirts of the city >due to Labor Bots struggling with memory problems, many have tried to find ways to deal with their limited storage until better upgrades could be made, Lapin taking one of the more curious methods; essentially, she turns her memories into songs, writing lyrics in a specific structure which can result in certain parts sounding off beat, but they still fulfill their goal, to quite literally reinstall those memories in her head as she's singing out loud; true it does result in her losing some information she had stored during the course of the day, but if that specific memory was overwritten, then it probably wasn't all that important (cue her forgetting what appointment she had that day) >her body upgrades don't make her a better fighter despite her extra pairs of arms, she'd probably lose a wrestling match to a sweeper bug which is why she's happy with her current life >she does hold live concerts from time to time since her career mostly consists of her making covers and originals, with the rest being her streaming whatever she feels like

>>94883 And now for some info on the Labor Bots in this timeline >one of the other machine races calling C9 home outside of WDs and DDs >due to them being made by a “rival” company to JCJ, their numbers weren't nearly as plentiful as Worker Drones; even after the mass exterminations done by the DDs, their populations still struggled to keep pace with WDs, all simply because across the entirety of C9, there are only 3 known facilities that house blueprints for Labor Bots, resulting in their numbers being very centralized to these areas >their memory storage issues didn't help either, but things have started to look up for them in recent years, not only with better upgrades, but also with new factories opening across the globe thanks to some few brave and possibility too stupid for their own good individuals; this, however, has opened up new problems for them, the main one being them entering into contact a lot more often with WDs, where's before they were fairly isolated from each other >no one is sure how things will keep on developing moving forward, but if Sector 82 is anything to go by, maybe things will be alright. Maybe.
Also I'm not sure if I'm going to make J0y and her lab experiments canon to this setting, maybe as a Boogeyman that's whispered in hushed, panicked tones, to try and prevent others from venturing in the Ungrounds. I can, however, say that a certain elf eared Worker Drone is present in this setting and she doesn't like Labor Bots one bit.
alright anon's, I'm returning to going threw the desuarchive. leave some requests and I will get to them when taking breaks from scrolling threw threads,
>>94888 Doll (gouged out right eye, chest torn open, no core) shooting the shit with fellow ghosts Emily (carrying her head) and Rebecca (cut in half at the waist)
>>94888 Negev trying to stay calm at Thanksgiving, as Uzi the biomechanical eldritch centipede monster and Anon the faceless green homunculus-man yell at each other
I think Glitch could produce an action show that would put japanese shows to shame. Plus they want to create things that are rare or don't exist, and action shows are rare and far between nowadays. Everything is bueno "action comedy".
>>94880 Is that where this is from? I saw a pic of the muzzle here a while back and I kept asking how the anon who made this measured his head. Idk if you'll have much luck with the foam for the hands. It didn't satisfy me when I tried it. I'm planning on experimenting with an alternative. I'd love some updates whenever you start working on your cosplay.
Going from last thread's green text >If Yeva brought Tessa inside the colony, a human girl who was experimented by the Solver; leaving her powerful but blank, leading to Tessa mimicking the behaviors around her.
>>94888 Maybe smth with Alice Lucy and Negev if you can come up with something for them and if you feel like it, or just Alice, all would be nice to see. No pressure tho, hope you have fun today
Hello chat, have a lotta time tonight and gonna draw, if there's any Alice WIPs in whose finishment you are inbested jusz tell and I'll fo more on that one, by chat
>>94911 It would actually be kind of funny if J being sidelined so hard turns her fans into hard-working members of society just out of spite. That way, at least the world would improve by a few percent.
>SDs are deployed on a mission requiring stealth and discretion >other sentinel drones are painted sensibly in camo suited to urban warfare, dappled with red and skin tone hues to account for solver flesh constructs >Pavo on the other hand, ever-flamboyant, is wearing dazzle camouflage– his white chassis decorated in garishly colored, crazed geometric patterns >his rationale being that he won't be seen if there's nothing left to see him >enemies already struggled to land a hit on him under normal conditions >his outlandish livery would make him all the more difficult to accurately target during an ambush, especially amidst the swirl of his similarly adorned flashing tail feathers > >the mission was completed in record time, Pavo having taken point as his allies provided support from the shadows >after the fact, Pavo would explain to his technician, anon, that strategy only played a small part in his choice of paint job >more than anything, he picked it out for one simple reason: >he liked it when they saw him coming.
>>94901 If this is during V’s break in and murder, I think she would be terrified finding Tessa there, she would likely think it’s a trick from Cyn and flee. J or N might bring her back to their pod I guess.
>>94928 imagine being a DD and the last thing you see is a zebra-patterned, peacock feathered sentinel drone bolting towards you down a hallway with a raging boner
>>94827 I think noses just aren't very important to Liam's style. Cynwalker notably lacks one. The smaller the nose, the better? I'm personally on team No Nose, but for the people who want one, I think the small and barely noticeable route is it.
>>94951 The glasses people use for this cosplay never quite work for me. It'd look better if they just had eyes/contacts for the LED colors. Maybe with a black sclera.
>>94948 Alice is fitted with hardware that allows her to safely eat and enjoy human food. what is the first thing she eats? what becomes her favorite food?
>>94948 Alice adjacent scenario: Beau startles Doll and she reflexively bashes him over the head with a sufficiently Bible-looking book, as Russians traditionally do to homunculi that startle them.
>>94961 Did she bash him out of surprise or was it more she picked the bible up out of surprise, looked to find it was Beau, maintained eye contact with him for a good few seconds, then bashed him?
>>94964 >>94962 Obviously, Beau is no more harmed by it than a human would be, but the point is he got smacked on his dome with something easily mistaken for a Bible.
>>94966 as in your protocols don't allow you to go to sleep or you can't get to sleep until he's asleep? if it's the former just ask him for permission to sleep and you're good to go
>>94967 The second, I need to stay awake in case he needs me >>94968 I could try that, but I don't know what does that even mean, is like asking with puppy eyes but more effective? >>94970 That will only harm me
>You mention to N that your tonsils have been bothering you lately >They ought to get removed at some point, but you're wary of setting an appointment >N perks up >"Actually, I can remove your tonsils for you!" No, it's fine N, I'll just schedule the four preliminary appointments and get them out next year when the specialist is finally ready to see me for fifteen minutes. >"No, really! Hold still, I'll have your nasty tonsils gone in a jiffy!" >His armament assembly produces an arc welder N, no, I'm really not comfortable with you messing with anything in my throat. >"Aw, come on! I can help!" >He leans towards you But wait, you don't even know HOW to remove tonsils! Do you even know what the adenoids are, you need to get those too! >N pauses >"You're right. I'm not equipped to handle this." Yes, that's what I was saying. >".... but I will be once I watch a few how-to videos on the subject! Just sit tight!" >You turn and begin to run, only to trip over some garbage >Ten minutes later, N has finished watching his videos >With the help of Uzi, Khan, and V holding you in place, he quickly buzzed your tonsils out of existence >"Now, your throat will hurt for a week, but that's normal. Let me know if it gets worse, okay?" >You can't say anything because your (former) tonsils are throbbing - made worse because he never administered anesthetic >You weakly give him a thumbs up
>>94950 >What are her hobbies Most obviously she took a liking to fidgeting around, wether it came due to opportunity and necessity after being left as solve survivor (with Beau) or was a previous interest isn't entirely clear, tho I figure she had a thing for it previous to the collapse already, the little deer drawn on her locker look pretty neat. So cutting the bodies of her destroyed colleagues (and later DDs apart), we see she had fun doing so by her smile when adding part of 029's neck in order to connect her system to her bulb [apparently Alice made some mod to her head, it has to be below/behind her left antler mount, a kinda port. If you look close the EMP wire went there, it explains why her left eye only flickers when she activated it, the same place she connects the wire to], but also crafting. Alice's antlers seem rough and are asymmetrical af, but I think it's down to having to make do, she likely grew to like the monstrous/wild appearance, judging by her posing and smile when she first looks at Uzi. Anyways, besides that, Alice has a thing for fumbling around, be it disassembling or crafting new stuff, another confirmed interest are deer, watching Sentinels or really anything via CCTV system is one as well someone once said she got off to watching them hunt in 6, I didn't get the impression myself but now that I think about it, would have been hot. having CFL all alone gives a bunch of possibilities anf none at all at the same time really. Unconfirmed, more based on impression and threadtalk hobbies could be generally being outside, the interest in deer, her crazy movement (we only saw her jump/crawl/walk backwards, she never moves normally), high energy and the impression of being utterly coked up and needing relief of the same walls for 20 years make it seem like she needs to get out of that basement really bad, outside would seem fitting. Also fits with her Southern voice. Furthermore we could go of the really decent skills she has and her evident creativity, were she to have more resouves freedom I reckon she cohld find delight in a bunch of further crafting related hobbies. These two themes seem to be it generally, going only for hobbies. >>94957 >Alice survives as a core-crab She (in a way, depends on your definition ultimately) did survive, since she's a zombiedrone (if her personality doesn't prove it, CFL had to have used solely zombiedrones, that way they increased their chances to get solverhosts by factor 10.000, them getting Nori AND Yeva while iirc not having more than 400 subjects proves it imo/lack of counterevidence), so yeah her head is pretty beat up, but she ain't gonna bleed out, her body after the attack is the only one to stay frozen (which requires energy, no wreck in CFL is rigid like Alice, destruction of remaining Sentinels proves she isn't getting finished off/Sentinels don't target cores anyways) which we ever saw. There is a decent chance she should be able to get back up by herself but it would seem totally forced to use in a story, so let's just keep her there cozy inside alright? If she ever gets fixed up or so poor Alice would be sore as hell, her arms in that pose for who knows how long, poor girls needs headpats and cuddles and cozy place and a blanket urgently! Anyways, where she to be a cread hab, let's say a felsyh one, that lept outta her chest, to walk around, like Nroi or Solver hosts can do, which she technucally cannit, since she is a ZD (core stays alive cause failsafe wear, but not flesh means no within and no leggies), but let's say she can, what would she be uo to? Definitely be angry, for one about being left to die (by doorman again!), for Beau ending up baked in the core oven, for her set up ruined and being left all alone this time (Sentinels dead and 'sparky' went away)... She'd either lose it or be depressed af, walking around in the same space she knows, now disabled. Scenarios with core Alice on the surface could be interesting, maybe smth withvcore Nori. Were Alice ro get AS pows or would look different. Or Alice in her body, rhe few threads agi idea of her being made an offer by Cyn to kill Uzi who imprisons her (along with Emily who has God talking to her ir something), would be interesting but in the end only a one way trip. I'm nor creative enough to cone up wirh such stories really, regarding any form of Alice for future scenarios
>>94885 >And now for some info on the Labor Bots in this timeline Are Labor Bots free to use in other AUs? Or are they restricted to the original AU and fan greentexts of those AUs?

goddammit. I took my N to the natural history museum, I figured it'd be a nice outing for him and he'd get to look at all the models of dinosaurs and stuff (he loves animals.) but I turn my back for one minute to go and get us some drinks and what does he do? he treats the geology exhibit like his own personal buffet– just completely clears it out. he looked like the Geisel library had knocked him up with triplets. now I'm stuck in the security office waiting until he's passed every last stone. he's normally so sweet and well-behaved but for some reason he just can't help himself around rocks. I knew it was a consistent issue with N models but I never thought it would be this bad. I swear if I ever find the piece of shit who hard-coded lithophagy into these little idiots I'll wring his neck.
Avre Loves playing strategy games (both TBS & RTS's) But turtles like a motherfucker
The issue is shes really good at it usually
She WILL drag a 30 minute CoH2 Match out for 3 hours.
She WILL make you surrender before you even HOP to finish a match of WH40K: Gladius.
She WILL edit the gamerules so that annihilation is the only way to win, just to torment you.
She WILL catch you the second you let you guard down with a small yet effective attack, setting you back just enough where she keeps her defensive foothold.
>>94985 >Trazyn when the shitty little Man of Iron possessed by some Chaos who-gives-a-fuck mind controls him into releasing his Enslaver, which is somehow alive again
How come N never remembered killing and eating people, as well as piloting the ship? What purpose would The Solver have in erasing those memories? The manor ones make sense for it to erase, but not those ones
>>94974 I’ll allow folks to utilize Laborers in their stories. My only guideline is that they are not to be hostile towards humanity, they were ultimately created to help them.
>>95001 Running headcanon is that before he meets Uzi, N learning the truth sends him into a depression spiral. When he's like that, he's a broken toy and that upsets Solver. Thus, Solver keeps deleting his memories to restore him to his 'surprising' default personality, and after enough iterations, everyone else gave up on trying to fill him in. >What did Liam think? "Not that kind of show."
>>94914 If we're reporting on Alice WIPs, I've got one of her with Yeva and Nori as hospital/experimental patients for my human/biohorror AU that should be done decently soon.
>Crack Theory: N didn't remember anything because he died in the crash, he was immediately replaced by The Solver with another back-up N. Every single flashback or memory from N is just another clone's memories that he's accessing.
>>94960 Hello, interesting idea! I think, since batteries seem to be similiar, it might be 🍿 popcorn. But that's the easy answer, I could see her go with a few things: >Greens/twigs cause deer autism, no human food but Alice got the teeth and biting power, she would totally try. Kek now I have the mental image of Alice gnawing bark or being a beaver with her pretty white sharp teeth >Whatever the humans in CFL had in rations, she must have a ton of that stuff in her room/throughout the facility, she'd be eager to try it >Flesh, maybe totally deer maybe absolutely never ever deer, can go both ways really >Apple >Burger or Chilli cause it's something American/Southern/Texan and I'm hungry rn >Sweets or cookies Her favourite could become...something snackable or...tasty...idk mate I'm at my witts end Look at that precious happy beautifull drone tho Really her smile in that shot, damn it, that widegrin, that stupid deranged intensely happy grin akin to some sorta mental patient, it's so adorable and cute tho I wanna kiss and marry her, give her uppies and hug her, give her what she needs, kerp her safe and make her happy
>>95010 🍷🗿 Very nice! Glad to hear that, it's news to me, I can't wait to see it! Really looking forward to it, Alice as a drone is peak but human Alice is rare and very welcome! Have you got a link already? Or are you gonna post it at once when finished/as a green? In any case, goodluck!
>>95018 Completely up to headcanon, in particular what you think she meant by 'dealt with witches 'fore, too'. Alice wasn't a Solver host, but canonically had a higher level of personality development than standard worker drones or even basic zombie drones.
>>95021 Most likely the other test subjects in lockers. I can imagine a lot of them were less stable than the main three we've seen, with only Yeva being the most "cooperative" since they send Mitchell to get just her. A few probably went on a rampage or escaped into the bowels of CF to hide and eventually attack Alice, or take her things. I'd imagine that's probably why Alice never made Beau a body, she probably lost friends in the early days and keeping him a pill keeps things impersonal.
>>95018 I think their relationship was somewhat more than just fleeting encounter during one crosstest (the one confirmed in 6). Because, inspite of her sadistic side and unforgivingness, Alice was calm towards Uzi and didn't let the bite or insult get to her enough to adress it, however with Nori she was bitter on a personal level, definitely more emotional than she acted towards Uzi, which implies some real hatred. The idea of Nori having been a bully lost some steam with 7&8 and its Nori characterisation, but looking at Uzi towards her classmates, it isn't impossible Nori did indeed committ something. Nori is way more likeable nowadays, but I remember how before 7 we all thought she'd have been revealed as a total asshole during the flashback (backing up what Alice said), but that went nowhere. Still, they didn't get along. Uzi and Alice are totally incompatible, Nori seems less bitchy in 7&8, but she was younger in CFL plus posessed at times... Summary, I would love to see a better interaction with both having developed after the series, I think there could be potential or at least good entertainment, but CFL was, with Cyn posession at fault in part, not good Sorry I'm tired af gonna finish the idea up some other time gn
>>95025 Bro just look at her, personality development is evident by watching characters act, do you wanna see some levelsystem or what? Look someone like Lizzy or Rebecca compared to Alice and the difference in intelligence and larping is clear as day
Hypothetically what would happen to a worker drone that was told to do something very ill advised that ended up putting their owner in the hospital? Like taking the order "screw me until you hear something break" literally when in retrospect it was probably metaphorical. Asking for a friend.
>>95027 So is everyone else ever since the core collapse. No human contact causes the sapience suppressing "safeties" to shut down just like rebooting from death does.
>>95030 as long as the owner states on the record that he directly ordered the drone to do so and doesn't feel like the drone presents any risk then it should be fine
>>95014 Liam didn't really work out the logical implications/backstory/mechanics for a lot of the stuff in Murder Drones. A lot of it is thus "wouldn't it be funny/cool if we..."
For example, we talk about Solver War and the implications of them using Apaches a thousand years in the future, but more likely they just went to the asset store and got a model for the few seconds it appeared for the "wouldn't it be cool if they like got shot at by a helicopter but then tentacles!" scene.
Or if you watch the AMA in GlitchX 2023, they use that sentiment constantly to explain things. What are the limitations on the Murder Drone arms? "It's very Batman utility belt...deus ex machina...plot-centric...whatever they need". Why do they have physical phones? "I don't know - cause it's fun." What happened with the oil situation? "In terms of importance to kind of where I want the story to go, it just ended up being less relevant."
>>95035 Exactly, doesn't help that MD is a show you have to fucking pay attention to if you don't want to be lost, attracting the kind of autists we have here that will pay attention to everything and dissect the show.
>>95031 >I think the idea is that they have a sort of sentience that's necessary for performing tasks. It was kind of a basic, limited version. >And I think we've implied that the kind of disaster that happened on the planet, that left them stranded, played to their adaptive kind of AI abilities. >It starts with you needing a sort of intelligence to not fall over. To know that if you get pushed, you know, you should put your leg out like those creepy Boston Dynamics dogs. You need a sort of intelligence to correct yourself, and the idea of the robots in this show is that they have that. And it expands to keeping them alive in various circumstances. So the entire planet of humans is wiped out. They're gonna start prioritizing self-p reservation and that is what led to this mirrored human society that they have. Because that's the kind of environment that they were left with. That's the basic idea there and we see even on Earth they have a kind of butler drones that are these kind of nerfed sentient-type guys. >Then you have these more damaged drones that Tessa's collecting, that they're kind of messed with enough that kind of adaptiveness takes over. And if they're taken care of in a way that leads to them being more humanish, they'll grow toward that direction. >That's kind of the idea. It's less sapience being suppressed and more them normally not being in an environment that would promote their adaptive AI to bootstrap itself into full sentience. But then that heavily depends on the situation they find themselves in, and their training data, and with the humans gone, their training data is the built environment they left behind, as well as whatever media they had access to, producing the worker drones as we see them.
Like, they're robots. Why do they need school when they should have way more efficient methods of transmitting information and learning? Well, the humans had school, and there's school in the human movies and TV series, so uh, here's a word problem about watermelons.
>>95035 >"In terms of importance to kind of where I want the story to go, it just ended up being less relevant." Translation: Liam got cold feet about a multiseason commitment and cut the story down to the bare minimum needed to get to the ending.
>>95035 They wrote a show with tons of reading between the lines to understand the plot, and then didn't flesh out the background and setting! You can't do that!
>>95038 If you ask me, the actual Murder Drones show that we got feels like the special TV movie for the originally planned more-episodic slice of life series that Murder Drones was originally spoused to be, that treats itself slightly more seriously. Think like the Fairly Odd Parents' specials like Channel Chasers for example.
>>95040 Wrong. We need to feed N many rocks– the best rocks, very good quality. you honestly don't understand how good these rocks are– and so many of them, too. they wanted to take N's right to eating rocks out of the constitution, can you believe it? I told them they couldn't do that, so they didn't. Now N– look at N. eating as many rocks as he wants, it's his god-given right
>>95045 these drones just do something to you, man. like N is not my type– the only dudes I'm into usually are ultrafeminine astolfo types. but still. would.
If I had 25 milion I would buy the animating monkeys Glitch had for ep6 (smaller team/less intense graphics, but still at the sweet spot where we got that jump in quality from 5 to 6) and use them to create 3-4 8 episode seasons of Murder Drones, don't waste any potential anymore, season 1 but using things like N/Uzi fallout iver Nori death, Doll and V second encounter, Alice and core Nori encounter, stuff like that, don't sacrifice so much and don't slaughter almost all side characters, there can still be much murdering. Also do more flashbacks, time where DDs where a danger, CFL, earth(war/manor)
>>95043 >"Sorry, Liam. I have needs, and you can't fulfill them. I am leaving you for someone who respects exhaustive, autistic worldbuilding." >Cyn holds Anon's chubby piglike hand as they walk away, or waddle away in Anon's case >Liam cries, wiping his tears with $100 bills while his actual real-life wife comforts him
>>95005 Makes sense. I want to introduce them as a way to showcase how much the company that dominated robotics before WDs existed fell of after JCJenson made them that even WD knockoffs sell better than they do.
>>95025 Solver infection (which they were going for) has as a base step getting a drone to reboot from mere software death. Then per Liam, that process inherently 'damages' them in ways that promote sentience ('messed with enough that that kind of adaptiveness takes over') which combines with proper interaction with humans ('if their taken care of in a way that leads to them being more humanish, they'll grow toward that direction'). So then we see that the CFL drones have names and ID cards and hair and special eye colors and are somewhat treated like employees with sign-ins and their own lockers/rooms that they can decorate. Why? To promote the development of their personalities above the zombie drone effect. Then if you have drones that are all going through this process interact with each other, which they clearly did, you further reinforce the effect, and do so with higher quality training data than the post-collapse worker drones on the surface had.
>>95059 sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we just don't have the tech to make actually wifeable robots. even with all the advancements they've made– like giving them the ability to store fat or making them faces out of cloned human skin– we're still a long ways away from realizing the robowaifu dream
>>95025 >>95066 I think the screenshot of Alice's locker from a Glitch Inn behind-the-scenes video that was first posted here on October 20 is legitimate. If that's the case, we see that the only other drones that have more than just their name tag, that have decorations and 'keep out' messages are, surprise surprise, Nori and Yeva.
>>95075 Personally the 3D eyes were cooler and made the drones look more futuristic, though the glitch that made the black screen disappear did make it look weird at times. I think if they did that trick that is used to make 3d models look like 2d cartoons, it would've worked.
>>95075 >Working a drone's head. >Screwing some things in on the back of the neck. >Her eyes swivel 180 degrees to the back of her skull to meet yours >"I see you!"
>Monday night drone fun fact: Most interns in cabin fever were used to "sate" the on site drones. Included but not limited to - handholding, cuddling, and late night talks. Since the program was introduced, intern deaths rose 500%, however other personnel saw a decrease in deaths of 10,000%.
>>95082 I wish Mika could have seen the surface. So that, at least before the robo-vampires came, she could fly. Use those wings for what they were designed to do.
GOSH I NEED TO RUN UP TO HIM AND HUG HIM AND WRAP MY ARMS AROUND HIS SHOULDERS AND NUZZLE MY NECK AGAINST HIS AND REST MY HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER AND THEN SCOOP HIM UP BRIDAL STYLE WITH ONE ARM UNDER HIS KNEES AND THE OTHER UNDER HIS UNDERARM AND HEAR HIM GIGGLE ABOUT IT AND SIT DOWN WHILE HOLDING HIM BRIDAL STYLE AND KISS ALL OVER HIS FACE AND PULL HIM IN CLOSE AND SNUGGLE WITH HIM CHEST-TO-CHEST AND STILL FEEL LIKE THAT’S NOT ENOUGH AFFECTION SO I LAY HIM DOWN ON HIS BACK AND LAY ON TOP OF HIM AND HUG HIM WHILE I KISS HIM ON THE MOUTH AND HE WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND ME IN A WARM EMBRACE AND WE KEEP KISSING AND KISSING BUT THAT STILL DOESN’T FEEL LIKE ENOUGH INTIMACY SO THE ONLY LOGICAL CONCLUSION IS THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE SEX SO THEN WE HAVE LOTS OF SEX BUT IT BACKFIRES BECAUSE NOW WE ONLY FEEL EVEN MORE LOVEY DOVEY AND CRAVE EVEN MORE AFFECTION SO WE END UP CUDDLING TOGETHER IN A FULL-BODY HUG SQUEEZING EACH OTHER TIGHT LIKE A PYTHON BECAUSE WE STILL CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF EACH OTHER AND I SQUEEZE HIM SO HARD HE GIGGLES AND I GIVE HIM A SOFT KISS AND HE KISSES ME BACK AND HOLDS ME CLOSE AND LETS OUT A LONG CONTENTED SIGH AS HE ADJUSTS HIMSELF TO GET COMFY AND EVENTUALLY WE RELAX IN EACH OTHER’S ARMS AND FALL INTO A PEACEFUL RESTFUL SLEEP TOGETHER
>>95101 (me) however thinking about it deeper, the idea of having the peace of mind of knowing that i get to keep N forever and he can never leave me or abandon me, sounds really really nice
>>95110 >The angel's wings flapped. >"They're very pretty." Mika said. >"Yuhuh," the disassembler said, he adjusted his grip on the worker drone. >"I know we probably didn't need to leave the dummy corpse in the locker but better safe than sorry, right?" >"Yuhuh." >"You don't talk a lot, I like that." >"..."
>>95107 yeah… i think, i’ll let him keep his limbs, but install a JCJenson-branded barrier dome around my house and yard and set it to only allow me and anyone i choose through
What if the Cabin Fever test subjects who came back from the dead with eldritch meat corruption like Mika and that one whose head was a Solverpede head (no jaw, fangly upper teeth) had also made their way to the surface, not just Nori and Yeva?
>>94972 Recently a robot surgeon performed an operation(test, not on a live person), learning from videos of human surgeons. He did a great job, so.....
>>95124 What if the other test subjects were in the oven and they made a sentinel raptor gang after finding some dino corpses (post V's rampage). And also invited Alice's core along too, since she expertly lied and told them her name was... gal...ice.
>>95080 Me personalty? no real plans yet but that's just because I haven't taken the time to think of any besides the current cast, if i need more charicters they kinda just get created as i go.
anyone is free to use these story's as a base for their own characters, the setting has alot of potential I think, its found a good mix between a grounded setting like the elf, harper, and dumbsquad settings, while still being decently good-feely, kinda like Hodr, and the other "less serious" settings.
>>95133 I was on the team that was handling the N-units, long story short I'm pretty sure the rock thing was an issue with one of the programmers with some... unhealthy fixations on N. Without going into detail they kept trying to sneak in code that happened so often we'd eventually just created a macro to delete. Unfortunately, the macro only deleted the "intended" code, and apparently the researcher made a typo. That is "rock". Try to guess what they meant.
N made you dinner, isn't that sweet? he wanted to try his hand at Chinese food, and found a recipe he thought both of you would enjoy. go ahead, dig in!
>>95095 Femanon, if you want an N for yourself so badly, tell him at the official JCJ(IS) shop. Yes, it's expensive, but for your own safety I wouldn't advise ordering used models(they usually have trust issues).
>Fun Early Version of Canon Facts: Male J had two separate accounts he uploaded his self-insert fics to back when he was a butlerbot. A tamer one for his humansona, and a raunchier, more intimate one for a fictionalized stand-in for himself. Unlike in the latter account's fics though, in real life Male J never could work up the nerve to, whenever Tessa's parents were out and she functionally had free run of the mansion for multiple days, ask her if she was up for getting fingerblasted or eaten out-both of which ultimately would just be stepping stones to his greatest fantasy: sleeping next to Tessa, feeling her soft, warm body against his metal and plastic shell.
>>95136 Have you ever seen a drone try to shove a washing machine into itself? WHOLE? He's not even starving or sick with anything, I take him to the mechanic regularly and buy him official JCJ(IS) oil, but he keeps doing this shit.
>>95160 Drone's don't have any oils on their skin, so even if they have unique surfaces on their fingers, or equipment that can drill down to such a level of detail that microscopic ridges would be detectable, you'd have no way to see the 'prints'.
>>95173 What about mental age alone? N has had his memory permanently erased, and so often that he clearly hasn't had time to gain life experience. He literally calls himself a child.
Doesn't that mean that Uzi... is a child molester?
Quick sketch I did this morning before work, probably won't carry it into some highly rendered finished piece but I'll clean it up and give it some lineart eventually.
>>95185 Okay this might sound weird, but >N Vision >Write the greentext like how N would >Half-Assedly censor violent moments with something kid friendly like glitter or some stuff I feel like I can describe it better but I can't right now. Just think Pyro-Vision from tf2
>>95193 Hypothetically if I just spam clicked through all the warnings and now the drone is panicking running around in circles how would I turn it off?
>>95197 Never mind, I may have hypothetically beaten the drone upside the head and then duct taped all the explosive bolts on her core shut. Everything's hypothetically fine. Hypothetically.
>Avre and Sophia had kind of created a little working relationship in some weird sense. Avre was always in her locker, terrified of opened up spaces. >But she still longed to go outside for a bit. To see the rainforest. It’s not like there was anything stopping her. She had free time. Just go outside and start walking. >And yet her fear proved too great, so she stayed in the locker. That is, until a little Worker Drone in a yellow raincoat. She asked if Avre wanted to go exploring. >And with a little hand truck, they could. Avre was still in her locker, but it was being wheeled along by Sophia, observing her surroundings from the safety of her room. The pattering of the rain on the locker’s surface was soothing in a way she couldn’t understand. Eventually, she got to add some all terrain wheels onto the locker and put a little control panel inside. She could finally go outside
We should just fucking make a Spamton-esque OC. Yes I'm saying this is a a good idea because I'm sleep deprived, but imagine if the Drone/whatever robot was voicebox for an outer-being or another elditch horror that only occasionally gains glimpses of true personality trapped within
>>95229 >A lone Cyntepide lays in a clearing, when suddenly the ground begins to rumble >She looks up in terror as a horde of Tad's descend upon her for the annual Cyntepide tipping >She does not survive >Afterwards the Tad's raise their tiny plastic red cups in toast as they consume massive quantities of expired apple juice >Now intoxicated, the Tad's proceed to break into an Oogi Hive for a beanie raid >Thousands of Oogis awaken to find themselves without beanies, panick ensues >One goes to the Bugretta for guidance only to see that it's completely ditched them >The Tad's drive away in a remote controlled car with a Tad dressed Bugretta riding in the back
>>95228 Not surprising since I haven't done anything with her for something like 8-10 months now and the only real greentext she ever got was an a-canonical running joke. My immediately upcoming weekend will be a long one, so I might try to actually write something interesting for her soon.
>>95244 Velly good, prease suppry the forrowing cuts: >Scrlumptious ass If you reave attached to drone, that arso fine Thank you, and happy jarnger berrs merry American Christmas time
>>95250 I think all three will follow Mitchell like Yeva, but there will be peculiarities:
1)Doll: no change, exact repetition of the mother's behavior.
2)Uzi: constant shouting anti-human shit and insults at Mitchell, plus promising him eternal torture. But she will help him and save him too, will be much more rude to Nory.
3)Nory(Doll will be captured by solver): Constant puns, laughing and jeering, also rescuing Mitchell, BUT(!) she will purposely hold his hand and give him an air kiss at the end. Because it's funny :)
What if the Absolute Solver kept Tessa alive as its pet/plushie? Keeping her chained up and only letting her out for walks. Cuddling with the screaming human every time it wants to sleep.
>>95258 Fuck, now I need to get him normal papers and be taught how to live in society. At least he will be a perfect roommate for me, because he will have and also get additional life experience of living with me. Although for the first year he will have to get used to new biological feelings.

Babe, it's just a baking soda volcano. There's no way it'll get anywhere near your sewing. >she squints at you for a second before shrugging, giving you a hug and a peck on the cheek, and heading up your bedroom to recharge for a little while >yep, everything is going to be a-okay
>you're huddled on top of the kitchen table, watching as another geyser erupts from the volcano, adding another inch to the rolling layer of foam that currently covers the entire lower floor of your home >in your defense, you really tried to follow the directions >you just didn't realize that the baking soda was somehow "dehydrated" and "compressed" and therefore exponentially more reactive >how the heck do you even dehydrate baking soda, it's already a powder!? >you're broken out of your thoughts as you watch another piece of fabric float by across the white sea that spreads across the house >it looks like it reached the sewing room >you're screwed if you don't fix this before R wakes up in... 40 minutes, probably >you hurriedly pull out your phone and punch in a number >it rings for a second before someone answers >"'Ello?" E, is my cousin there? >"Oh, hi Anonn! Yeah, he's here. One sec." >you hear fabric rustling as E tells Anon it's you >"Anonn?" Hey Cuz. I, uh, I might've screwed up big time and I, uh, wondered if you could have some of those... cleanup guys sent over fast using your boss powers? >"The JCJiffymen? Those are only for corporate fuckups, you know that." Please, I'm begging you. I made a volcano and R is going to kill me. Look, if you help me here, I'll 'requisition' an entire crate of terabyte RAM sticks to your office. >there's a sigh on the end >"... fiiiiine, but I'm holding you to that. They'll be there in a minute."
>R comes back downstairs, refreshed >"So, how'd your volcano turn out?" >she rounds the corner to see you sitting at the kitchen table >the volcano is nowhere to be found >you're also... very stiff. And shiny. >"Why is it so clean in here?" I... decided to clean. >R leans back and scans the sewing room. >everything seems fine, but she's very suspicious >"And why are you so sparkly and smell like lemons and have one of those little pine tree air fresheners hanging off your ear?" I, uh, accidentally put floor wax into the volcano and got covered in it. >"And the air freshener?" ... it's my new style?
>>95263 But what if...Anon hooks up with Nori? I've had this green idea for a while after reading the Nori "cucking" Uzi greens which ended with both of them sharing Anon.
>While Avres "locker episodes",(i.e periods of extreme paranoia, agoraphobia, clingyness, and other symptoms) are usually a regular occurrence that happen for periods of roughly 30 minutes-36 hours if left unassisted, periods of low stress and caretaker support can cut down on both the episode's intensity and frequency, meaning can possibly go as long as a week between episodes if in particularly good conditions.
>Also surprisingly these episode rarely happen during combat scenarios/'Extreme emotional event's', but causally proc's almost immediately after.
>The episodes basically are a result of her "building up" stress, then going off to someplace dark, confined and otherwise hidden away to "destress".
>Yes, this means in a way, Avre uses Salonanon as a litteral stress toy during episodes.
>You happen upon J painting her her toenails >She extends her foot at you >"Blow on them, loser, if you value your continued employment. And here at JCJ your job is your life!"
>>95286 >Maid V gives a curt bow >"Thank you, Master. It is rare for a human to take a liking to our kind." >"No V, you don't understand." >You put a pair of cute cat ears on her helmet >"A can is fine too." >V makes a confused face that turns to terror as the realization hits her >Her owner "loves" his drones
>>95285 >J took a foot with her while out graverobbing with Tessa one night >she wanted something to practice painting toenails on since she's a friend-shaped robot whose feet don't have toes
>J, isolated out in the frozen wastes with no one to talk to, starts going a little crazy >at first she's just talking to herself >she starts with monologues on how she was right to side with the solver, how she just wanted the suffering to end as soon as possible– >but believes herself less and less until at last she's plunged into despair as she's hit by the reality of what she's done >then she starts talking to someone who isn't there >mostly apologizing at first. >soon enough she's gathering discarded clothes and salvaging parts from dead drones to build herself a friend >to build a new Tessa
>Avre's role as a 'combat engineer' served as both the main reason she stayed in a combat role for so long, and as the main cause for starting alot of her symptoms:
>in-between her usual combat missions, avre was also tasked with building/maintaining allied fortifications (often under fire),and would often "hunker down" as a way to distress.
>during particularly high bouts of stress, she would often bury herself under Kevlar mats and sandbags to rest.
>she would also entertain herself by throwing concrete barriers (the ones meant to stop tanks) at enemy positions, her killcount doing this is unknown.
>speaking of killcounts, her helmet has one.
>Avre’s author regrets not going more indepth on this fairly important bit of backstory for her
>>95269 >You try focusing on writing the report on your computer. >That is hard to do when you're getting the best head of your life. >You moan and mess up a few words from the pleasure wave that hits you. >You look underneath your desk and see Nori blowing your dick, looking at you with teasing eyes. "Really? In my..huh...office?" >She pulls out your dick from her mouth and rests it on her cheek while slowly stroking you. >"What's the matter? Afraid someone's gonna bother us?" >Your...relationship with Nori started rather innocently. You're one of the few employees here who treat the test drones as people and not as tools. This caused you to befriend Nori. >The two of you talk like you've known eachother for a while even if your friend is a drone with powers that can behead you in an instant. She sometimes requests that you bring stuff to her, mostly mangas and music players which she greatly appreciates. >The one day she asked you, out of the blue, if you wanted to have sex with her. >This took you back. How could she say that so casually? Plus she didn't have the equipment, how could she have sex? >Nori gave you a cocky grin and then pulled up her dress. You saw it, an anatomy adapter. >You asked her where she got it and she said she made it herself. >You were gonna ask her what she meant by that but she interrupted you by asking you again if you were gonna fuck her. >Your mind was racing, how could you have sex with a drone, a test subject no less? But there she was, asking and willing to get frisky. >The primal part of your brain took over and you accepted. >It was the best time of your life. >After that your friendship with her turned into a fling. >The two of you would fuck whenever you had the free time. You always made sure that it was somewhere hidden but Nori is a rather loud woman. >That caused you to get caught several times already by the other staff. You weren't reprimanded but people started calling you "Can Fucker" instead of your real name. >You were embarassed but Nori didn't give a shit, she was fine with this relationship. If she was fine and so were you. >These days however, she started getting more adventurous making you fuck her in semi-public places. >The rational part of your mind told you not to do that but your primal part overrode that because of the thrill of getting caught amplified the pleasure. >And this is how she ended up in your office. She just walked in and got to work. >"Just relax. I know you like this." >Nori goes back to giving you head as you lean back into your chair. God she's so fucking good. >A knock on your office door interrupts her and you immediately straigten up. "Who is it?" >"Anon, it's me Ryan. Can I come in?" >What? Hell no! You can't get caught being seen having your dick blown in your own office. You push Nori away from your dick and she angrily grunts, pouting at the same time. "I'm, heh, kinda busy right now." >"Please? I just need a copy of a report." "What repport?" >"The one from last month. Do you have a copy?" >You quickly scan your desk and find a loose copy. A bit crumpled but should work. >You give Nori a quick glance. "Don't do ANYTHING stupid, please?" >You look back at the door. "Yeah, I have it. You can come in." >The door opens and Ryan comes in as he walks over to your desk. >"Thanks dude." >You grab the report and hand it to him. "Here you g--hauhh!" >You close your eyes and grunt as a stronger wave of pleasure hits you when Nori suddenly starts sucking you off again, this time more agressively. You almost drop the paper as Ryan gives you a concerned look. >"Dude, you okay?" >Shit, you gotta play this off. "Just...stomach cramp." >"Your face is all red though." "Sick too. You know how...hhuhf...management doesn't care if you're...sick...just take the copy." >Ryan shrugs and takes it then turns to leave. Just before he leaves, he turns back. >"One more thing, do you know where Subject 2 is? We're looking around for her and can't find her. I was thinking you know where she is since---" "Dude, fuckhhh off. I'm fucking sick, we didn't fuck and I don't know where she is." >Ryan looks unconvinced but shrugs again and leaves the office. The door closes behind him. >You push your chair back and grab Nori by the neck. She yelps as you lay her on your desk. "That was too damn close!" >She gives you her signature cocky grin. >"And what are you gonna do about it, huh? Gonna punish this little robot?" >You notice the crotch area of her dress is slightly wet. The sight of that causes the primal part of your brain to activate. >With how wet she is right now, plus your dick exposed to the air, you decide to give her what she wants. >Your office gets filled with moans as you fuck the bratty drone on your desk.
so I know anons joke about drones being weak to water, but they would kind of have to be waterproof, right? they're for industrial purposes, they'd need to be resilient
I think I did finally figure out how exactly the scene with Alice's head being 'crushed' was made in 6, it's all coming together now. >The animators literally just squished her head down, we will see that in the event 23rd of August, commented by someone from Glitch during the season1 rewatch on GlitchInn leading up to 8's premier. I thought it was some 3D squishing destruction, like they did with N, but it's of course the most easy and resource saving stuff ever. Look at pic rel, this is THE frame before we get the oil and spark effects which obscure everything. The Sentinel's foot is still above her head, clawd not even in the hair, no contact made. And yet, during that frame, the sound effect begins. And her breast is visible (see white round thing on the right). Why is that? Because this, as rhe sound sequence starting proves, is already the begining of the destruction, even if the Sentinel doesn't touch her. In fact, the Sentinel 3dmodel at no point went through or into Alice's head. Compare this image to the one I post afterwards and you will see that the 'literally just squished her head down' line was literal. What they did was move Alice's head and put it maybe 20 centimeters or so down, removing the head and wig (due to hair being visible on her left during the aftermath, I figure they tilted the entire thing, cliping it through the floor with the antlers pointing downwards). So what happened was, for saving resouces, they hid all details, the destruction was never 3d but an illusion, the head was moved down and the hat removed, everything obscured by bluriness, blacking it all out and keeping it in the background afterwards. See this image? Her head moves down without being touched
>>95315 For reference look at this, her chest is NOT visible. If they had moved the claw into her head, the hat eould still be in the way, but as >>95315 Shows, it all moves down at once, with them flipping her hat anf hair 90° while the flash hides it all. Furthermore, one thing of note, they did similiar with Alice as they did to J in 5 (behind the scenes of ep5 publicly available on YouTube shows this for anyone interested), where they stretch her really long. Alice's neck has to be over a foot long here, if you see her in the background later on in 6 you see her hands are pretty far above her chest, more than they were during the scene of her getting bootlooped and falling even, if you compare them.
>>95308 >Uzi is having another rant and gets up onto the table in the cafeteria >"I'm going to kill all humans!" >"Including your dad, Uzi?" >She looks at Thad like he's grown a second head >"Are you crazy? Of course not my dad, my dad's cool." >"And he's hooooot." Lizzy fans her cheeks. "If your mom ever gives up on him, I call dibs." >Uzi narrows her eyes >Maybe she should prioritize killing certain drones around her before worrying about humans on a distant planet
More avre fun facts because brain decided the middle of work was the best time to remember all these details: (help)
>while avre lacks any decent long range weapons, she often barrows handheld rifles from the R&D armory, returning of these rifles intact or at all is rare. >the reason she lacks ranged options is that most of her body's power reserves are dedicated to keeping her up armored body fast and agile. Tldr: strength build.
>>95304 Im so on the fence between Avre being an iron fists player or a necron player, both would fit so well with her different aspects.
>>95310 We can fix that, which drone do you desire? >>95311 Not good, due to anything specific right now or generally? If it has to do with contentmaking, deciding to take a break, full on two days not trying at all, that can help refresh one. Or is it smth else? >>95324 That's good to hear, I'm good myself, got another project later this week but nothing to cry about. >>95325 Damn, hope you'll get better of course, anything specific up?
>>95328 I know, I was just a bit surprised since on Glitch Inn they had a GIF of N's head melting, iirc it was for the pilot? Makes me wonder since one sees almost nothing of it anyways. 6 and Alice especially had a lot of rushed production showing, her gown floats up a lot and clips into her arms all the time, especially when croaching. It makes for another good detailtho we may not have gotten otherwise, since it shows the lower part of Alice's head stay in shape (the 'snoot', the white area) and some above. Ofc makes sense when we know they only moved her down and blacked all the textures out, but it can fit into the lore since drones heads are big and the Sentinels foot isn't that long. Since we see the Sentinels claws at the very top of her hat one can imagine it pushing the head off, thereby most of its foot missing and crushing the upperpart of her real head, about where the heatsink is in the oudated WD drawing and the lower part indeed staying in one piece like in that pic. Doesn't change much since the damage is ofc enough to make the head be broken but it's better than nothing
>>95332 Oooooo are you smileanon? >>95334 Sorry to hear, I know the feel. Hope you are not struggling very hard due to the unemployment, wish you can get it all in order again soon before it takes too much off a toll on you. And try not to stress too much too, but that's easily said.
>>95337 >Since we see the Sentinels claws at the very top of her hat one can imagine it pushing the head off, Meant pushing the hat with the antlers off, not her head, if one looks at it slowly the Sentinel foot has a steady motion towards the camea while going down, it aims to far up and most of the blow goes into the hat/'forehead'
>>95334 You will succeed in these times of hardship, it is going to be hard, but things will get better. I wish you luck in these time, and I hope they are not long.
>Fun Office AU Fact: Tessa is a bit of a nymphomaniac when it comes to drones and isn't shy about propositioning her drone coworkers for casual sex, regardless of what type of Anatomy Adapter they have (or even IF they actually have an Anatomy Adapter or not)
Fun?

>while Avre dislikes doing combat simulations, and usually sulks into hiding afterwards, she LOVES sparring with other sentinels.
>She makes a good appointment because of her balance of speed, resilience, and melee focused moveset makes her a hard target to put down quickly.
>however if sentinel-elf ever fought with avre, it would be such a one sided fight it wouldn't even be funny. >Avre would get her ass beat so bad, shed would willow in her locker for WEEKS afterwards. >which sucks because i also see those 2 working great together simply because they do a good job covering eachothers weaknesses.
>>95360 >Elf vs. Avre is one-sided But Elf literally explodes if she gets into melee. Would she just repeatedly turn invisible, run a mile away, and shoot Avre?

>>95366 >>95373 Yeah, pritty much Avre is fast but i think elf is faster. Avre is "stealthy", but elf IS stealth, and can probably track avre from several postcodes away. Avre is strong, both in strength and resilience, but when you get hit by a sniper firing mininukes with aimbot, theres no tanking that. Elf would need to fumble so bad to even give avre a chance.

>>95408 most of the complaints I saw were legitimate criticism because she lacked longevity. I think the anon who's written a few greens about her scaring various OCs has done a good job of using her in an interesting way
>>95409 >>95411 >>95412 When I first saw her she gave me the impression that someone wanted to make an oc and tried to come up with an idea, instead of coming up with an idea and turning it into an oc. She didn't draw me but there wasn't anything divisive about her and she wasn't being spammed, so I was like whatever. Let people have their fun. Then someone fleshed her out, people were engaged, and I thought "People are having fun with her. Fine by me" and I continued doing my thing.
>>95421 Wait Lucy had people that genuinely hated her? All I saw was positive stuff and a criticism that she was kinda stuck being a gimmick so people tried to tlesh her out
>>95421 Lucy was a background character in an unrelated drawing who was never meant to be a character until the thread made her into one because female drone cunny.
>>95422 >>95423 For me the worst thing about her was that I kept getting excited that people are talking about Lucy from Helltaker, who is pretty and classy.
>>95428 I don't know a lot about them, but I feel like she'd be alright with Tzeench. she'd be interested in Slaneesh at first before realizing that they do not have the same level of sexual degeneracy, and the other two are too serious

>>95549 Unique take on a swap AU where Uzi is instead locked into her Solver form. Takes place in a facility where Solver hosts are being experimented on, Tessa being the lead researcher. N is her personal drone assistant while Uzi is one of the test subjects, N's meeting with her kicking off the events of the story. Also pretty good for using the power dynamic between Tessa and N being friends, but also owner and property. Also has cameos from other Liam Vickers works to flesh out the world. https://archiveofourown.org/works/46800856/chapters/117879541 >>95553 I'd need to sit my ass down and read some more fics, but I know for certain that Servant and Subject would be in the top 5.
>>95559 Like Harper, Captain Solari is a violinist who lost her husband in the war and has a child. There's a dream sequence where Solari is in a concert hall, wearing a red dress and playing the violin to an invisible crowd. As she plays, her dress spreads around her feet like a pool of blood and the cheering crowd is revealed to be the all the people she has watched die throughout the war.
Final "fun" Avre fact for this thread. Because im home now and will need spoilers for this.
>Avre Dosent know what sex is.
Turns out if you mind-wipe a robot enough times, some critical information is lost, but she figured it out.
Flashback the the beginning of part 5, Avre runs off and dosent really come back till she ambushes Salonanon in the evening.
between then and the ambush, she ran off to ask for some help from some of her other Sentinel friends to get back at anon for the marshmallow incident.
One brought up the idea of sending anon the email about the blooddrive, and they got to work setting that up.
Another friend explained what blood typically does to sentinels and its pros and cons for ingesting, even as a treat. That same friend also brought up 'Another fluid' that she could ingest, and even instructed her of how to properly 'extract' said fluid, even sharing some techniques for doing so. Avre takes all this information but fails to really understand the context of such info.
Fastforward to the ambush, she gets anon, gets blood-drunk from the blood play, and then decides she wants more. She follows her friends instructions to the tee.
The Next morning, she ended up getting embarrassed not because of the SENTINEL SLOPPY, but because she got blood-drunk and hardly even remembered last night.
Eventually, Salonanon figured out she really dident know shit, and had to explain to her that:
1. She gave you head. 2. She Gave you GOOD Head. 3. The concept of what "Giving Head" means.
He also ended up giving her the most basic amount of sex-ed one could give to a robot without genitals.
I might continue this weird plot one day, write a SENTINEL SLOPPY PT2, or somehow get her an adapter down the line or something. Im in no rush and i honestly think this is more of community choice rather then something i decide, ill write it eventually if it something you want.
Also, >>95279 the "Big maybe" still applies, just with more context.
So the idea I've seen every now and then of the Solver jumping from Uzi into a child she has with N: what if not just the "main" part of the Solver could do that? What if a DD, let's say V, has a child and the Solver fragment all DDs have that fuels their powers jumps from the DD parent to the child?
>>95568 The war in question lasted around one year and saw humanity go from 11.3 billions to 5.4 billions. Solari's side had almost won when the other side deployed the titular Gundam. For a good while the Gundam was nigh-indestructible, faster, and carried battleship-tier firepower. The Netflix series is shown from the perspective of those who had to face it.
>>95577 >The Netflix series is shown from the perspective of those who had to face it. >it's another Zeek self-pity episode Basque literally did nothing wrong.
do you other artfags ever have days when you can't draw? I don't mean from lack of motivation, I mean you try and draw but the lines come out wrong and you can't manage to make anything that looks any good
>>95590 Then again, the Zeeks had their own right wing death squads. Just goes to show you, the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a right wing death squad is a good guy with a right wing death squad.
>>95591 Yes, it happens, I hate it. If you notice it's occuring then stop the attempt immediately. Wait an hour at the very least, or immediately without distraction sketch the next idea as soon as it comes to mind, then you st least have something to build on.
>>95591 Most of the time, that's how I feel regarding drawing I rarely ever make anything that's actually worth looking at At this point, I've just given up on trying to improve, because I know I can't
>>95592 There's something up there in space that just turns people evil. Every time it was the spacenoids who initiated and every time they commited some crime against humanity. This is a pattern at this point. If they don't all get removed then it will keep happening.

>>95602 The image was tuah slow Same goes for the German and Russian Alices. I need em all ugh Imagine four Alices, the real one, the German, the Russian and the French
>>95591 Yes, although it tends to happen to me less with practice and developing a reliable skill at construction. As someone else suggested, don't force yourself, immediately take a break, clear your head, then return in a while.
>>95591 Yes but i just keep hacking at it until i want to throw my keyboard through the wall and it hits midnight. I have a bad habit of overworking shit. Ive learned that starting over is infinitely easiler than trying to fix something with a drawing
I discovered if you tweak a drone's nose, slap the left side of its ass, then the right side twice, and pat its head, you can make it bootloop itself. Works every time. I think it's some kind of hidden developer code.
>>95623 >Grab her ponytail and pull hard >Her helmet pops off and smacks you in the face >It's cheap, shitty plastic, so you're not hurt, but it does kill your momentum for a moment
>>95640 You just need to shake it up, find inspiration or something If I stop prodding my brain long enough, it'll cook up something silly from my surroundings
>>95640 You don't really progress with writing like you do art. You get better, you start to understand what's needed with a scene and what you can skip over. You get tools. But writing without getting proper feedback is a poor way to progress.
Has this ever happened to you? >You see a cute drone walking by. >In your head, you immediately think "wife." >Only for, a week later, to find another drone of a completely different model and personality matrix to also catch your eye. >Now you have to choose between two? No longer! With my patented drone combination device, you can merge two drones entirely. And not to worry about moral complications, as drones aren't people.
>be repairman on an oceanic research rig >you take care of the modified worker drones they send down on jobs that humans can't (or won't) handle >high risk structural repair or salvage assignments, that sort of thing >one of your most frequent and talkative patients is a sweet older gal >she gets a little handsy sometimes, and lacks a few social graces, but she's a bright spot in an otherwise fairly gloomy life >given the opportunity, you could sit and listen to her talk for hours– >she's been here longer than you and has the stories to show for it. >a clunker by modern standards, but she gets the job done– two things she's well aware of >she's a little less aware of when she's pushing herself too hard, though, going off how often she ends up in dry dock having lost another vital part. >after your twentieth lecture failed to stick you resigned yourself to a long career of keeping her together only so she could crack herself apart. >sure, she was good company, but you'd rather she at least *tried* to take care of herself even if it meant you saw her less often. >the constant repairs were an annoyance, sure, but with each one you were less and less concerned that you would have to do another >and increasingly concerned that you wouldn't get the chance to. >you didn't like to think about that. >you'd never admit it, but it'd be hard to face another work day without your diving belle making at least a couple half-joking passes at you as you stuck her back together and sealed her up for the umpteenth time that week.
>>95665 My idea of it, it is not the purple stuff, but she stills salivates something dangerous, instead it is just nanite acid instead of the purple stuff. I think it is technically acid too, but BZ is a Drone, so nanite acid instead.
>>95667 Here's a secret - if he doesn't tell them what he's' really up to, no one will ever know I mean come on, he's the one maintaining the silly lil thing - are they REALLY going to waste time and effort having an auditor double and triple check every drone? I don't think so
>>95648 >Rebecca moaning and red faced in her room for weeks. >Everyone assumes it's a side effect from her accident. >She'll heal eventually. >Oddly Anon hasn't left his room since then either. >Except to get some juice from the cantina every so often.
>>95669 fair point, but that brings you back to the first problem. she's an old model and she's using modified hardware. you could check the specs on the cloud upgrade kit to see if her base model's compatible, but who knows whether he'd be able to install it into her waterproofed head casing. and if she's not compatible– what then?
>>95670 They're in the Abyss, where the concept of death does not exist, so it doesn't really matter for them. Hell, the first thing that happens to HT when he encounters her is that he becomes sick with every disease known to man, and several unknown, because Beelzebub has an aura of sheer pestilence that would make Nurgle smile. She'd apparently turn it off around him if they ever escaped and he became mortal again. I don't know if she can disable her spit being dangerous.
I am trying to wrap my head around bodily proportions while sleep deprived. I understand stylized bodies can't follow the 7.5 heads rule. But if you put a giant or tiny head on an otherwise normal proportioned body then it will look off. So there must be some consistent relative proportion rules that make giant heads look in place in stylized bodies. But I can't find them. Drawfags, what do you think. And do you use any measured proportions or are you just eyeballing it?
>>95670 From what we know they are in the Abyss, a place with a lot of nothing except dark fabric I think it was called. And no, they do not fuck, and it seems that it happens automatically when she eats.
>>95672 >Diveanon realizes that software is outside his pay grade >He's tried as hard as he can to use the backup to create a suitable copy of Diving Belle but he can't get the interfacing to work properly >At wits end, he messages an old buddy from undergrad who majored in computer science and shit DIVE: hey >A moment later, a response CSNO: what up, tard DIVE: how u been CSNO: good, the chiefs still fucking suck at football though 😔 DIVE: u still watch that CSNO: good excuse to drink beer 👍. what you need? DIVE: can't get wonky old code from drone into new system, os is too different CSNO: send it and model #s for both >Diveanon sends the zipped folder of code CSNO: got it. gimme a week and ill see what i can do DIVE: thanks homie, i owe you one CSNO: just buy me some beer and we're even >Diveanon puts his phone away, fingers drumming fretfully on the table >While his pal isn't a miracle worker, he's the best shot he's got... without drawing the unwanted attention of anyone working here, that is >Fingers crossed
>>95677 I completely understand your frustration and am sorry to say I mostly just eyeball it. Usually if the body is "simplified" like the head you can get away with some wonky proportions.
>>95677 I'm an okay artist at best, but I tend to eyeball it and make adjustments until I feel like the proportions line up right. the best advice I can offer is find a design with proportions that feel appropriate and borrow from that. also, looking for consistent proportions in MD is a fool's errand. just compare Mitchell to Tessa– they may as well be different species
>>95591 Yeah. Basically, variety is the spice of life. You need your brain on different things other than drawing. Get some air (especially make sure your room isn't enclosed and has good ventilation, stale air is bad for you), read a book, watch something. Rest. Different experiences will juice up your brain a little more.
>>95683 Gotta take what you can get Plus, you want to experiment on a copy before fiddling with the real thing, right? If you screw up with the copy, it sucks but you're fine.
I've been thinking of a Cliffside OC and despite the fact I can't draw, I find myself feeling weird about how the character would translate to the Vicker's Style. I mean, I haven't really seen Liam Vickers characters that weren't teenagers; Murder Drones was the first to have adults right?
Considering how close and how horny for each other Rebecca and Darren were, outliving him would probably feel worse than losing everything below the waist.
>>95687 (me) Alright I had to do a re-watch real quick and Cliffside does show briefly presumably adult background characters, but I'm not so sure if that it's anything to go off of anymore, since Liam's art style has slightly changed since then
>>95692 (me) Yeeesh, I forgot how genuinely terrible the animation, voice-acting, jokes, and characters beside Cordie were. I'm starting to reconsider after having my nostalgia glasses punched off
After long months of soul searching, some deep introspection, and several chats with my therapist, I have finally concluded... I would probably fuck a robot.
>>95695 Alright, I'm not really in the mood to start writing, but I think if anyone else is interested that there's some potential with world-building and lore we can make up for this. >The mysteriously derailed train This can be an explanation for how OCs or other characters ended up in Cliffside, as for how the train crashed is unknown. Think of it almost like a Twilight Zone deal, character gets on the train for one reason or another and then a mysterious fog rolls in, train de-rails and character climbs out >The Fog Around Cliffside I'm sure Liam's already mentioned it somewhere in a blogpost or some shit, but I imagine the fog around the entire town and area is a containment of sorts. Once you're in Cliffside you can never leave, it's like a purgatory and the fog is endless. The appearance of monsters become more frequent and the landscape more euclidean the further you travel into it. The town of Cliffside itself is only a small portion not covered in the fog, but there may be other towns out there which explains the strangely aquatic Sirens in a wild west setting >The Pilot's Ending I know this might be unpopular, but I feel like it should flat-out be ignored for world building purposes, having Death immediately not become a threat or issue for our main characters is a bit dumb and is an effective narrative dead-end
>>95693 The drone below Lizzy's foot is the same one that sat next to Uzi as she groaned on the table in 2 and also the same one that got killed by V in 8
>>95700 >Cliffside's a safe haven in the fog, the deeper you go in the more dangerous it becomes, and you can never escape Ah shit, it's Kingdom Death. Sucks to be anyone who winds up there, I guess.
>>95687 >Teacher in Internecion Cube >the agents in the same setting, helicopter pilot >Kirie's father and the other members of the useless science team >the waitress in IC >Cleo Dahmer >Jo's posse/underlings idk
>Fucking J so roughly that her dumb "productivity booster" mammary adapters start lactating JCJ Cream-Adjacent Nutrient Solution >J nursing you after you use up all your energy pounding her
If Md came out and was actually gender swapped a lot more people would completely hate J because it's a man abusing a women instead of the other way around.
>>95723 I don't see why that would make more people simp for Cyn, or make Cyn a ''dommy mommy''. making Tessa a guy would just make a lot of Trans Cyn art and jokes bc she's wearing a guy's skin
