"Murder Drones: Intermission": A Story of Understanding

Uzi Doorman: Understanding Loneliness

I feel like during the development of this episode, Uzi was the hardest character for me to wrap my head around. To my understanding, she’s feisty, angsty, and plays up this persona of being apathetic. A sort of lone wolf thing.

She’s snappy towards her classmates who ostracize her, snappy towards adults in her life, and overall gives a middle finger to anyone who isn’t on Team Uzi. It’s a very “me vs. the world” type of thing. That, to me, just felt like the callous shell of someone who’s painfully fragile and has been hurt so often.

I will admit, I may be projecting slightly, but I honestly read her as like… a neurodivergent kid who didn’t know how to navigate social circles, so she just became incredibly bitter. Her father didn’t help her situation at all because he also treated her like a freak, literally calling her a disappointment in his business ads. Then on top of all that she had no mother figure to look up to. All of this accumulates into a habit of isolation. “No one will love me, so fuck it. I’m on my own”. She acts like she’s fine on her own, when in reality she’s so starved for genuine connection. With that in mind, in Intermission I wanted to peel back those layers a little bit. I wanted to explore self-isolation and that hunger for love. 

Some people clocked this I think: the way Uzi’s attitude is toned down in Intermission. I didn’t want to play up her angsty teen act as much (and I capped her at one “bite me”) because then I’d risk falling into the trap of making her into a caricature of herself. The way I framed her in my head is “if she wants connection, then she’d be happier around people who she sees as her friends. If she’s also fragile though, she’ll make an immediate 180 at the slightest hint of meanspiritedness”. This was the guideline I gave myself when it came to bouncing her off of V and N. N melts her icy demeanor. He’s very gentle and encouraging with her. One example being how N kneeled down to her eye level when speaking to her when she was putting up her walls again. As someone who’s constantly ostracized, she needs a gentle touch in order to relax.

I made sure to keep that in mind, that while she was being treated gently, she should show more signs of happiness. Comfort. Part of that comfort is also reflected in being mischievous/playful. As for the 180 she makes if shown any sort of cruelty, that’s reflected in acts of self-isolation. 

This is something I’ve observed from myself and people in my life. If someone is already deathly afraid of rejection, they won’t reach out for help and their immediate instinct will be to isolate. In the beginning of the EP when Uzi’s having her Solver flare up her immediate thought is “I’m going to put up a firewall (repress) and just not even mention this to anybody”. Then when N offers to help, she still shows signs of being uncomfortable because she’s not used to it. It isn’t until V’s comment calling her a lost cause irks her that she decides “screw it let’s give it a shot”. She hates being underestimated, so this reaction made sense to me. Meanwhile the climax of the episode is where I wanted the most overt display of her fears to be presented.

As I said earlier, Uzi’s sensitive to rejection. She attacked the only people in her life who care about her, and the worst part was it wasn’t even her fault. Uzi is a person who really wants a sense of control over her life for the sake of security, so that loss of control and the idea of “oh my god they hate me now” was the final straw for her. So, she isolated. She ran off (or in this case, flew off), she barricaded herself, and she cried.

During the scene when Uzi's found, I had a bit of an issue figuring out where to go from there with her. I had two options: I could once again lean into her badass persona and have her fight back, or I could have her fold. I decided the latter. To her, she just lost the only people who cared about her, she's a monster to worker drone society, her father doesn't care about her.

What's the point. She's doomed to be alone.

If V didn't have her revelation, Uzi would've let herself die. While I understand that's an upsetting choice to make in the narrative, given Uzi's circumstances it felt like the appropriate reaction. Which is why the events following were so important.

While Uzi's at her lowest point she's shown pinch of kindness.

While it’s true V’s initial intention was to off Uzi, her showing compassion and sympathy was what helped calm Uzi down. Rather than making her put up walls like V usually does, V was able to break through them a tad. That interaction, N pouncing at her with a hug, and the final scene was meant to cement in Uzi’s head that she finally wasn’t alone (even if V still struggled to not be prickly with her). The three are still incredibly messy, but there’s that sense of trust that Uzi now has people in her life that actually care about her despite her messiness. The mischievous attitude even comes out when she says, “you found a nanospark of warmth in your heart to care about me”. She now feels more comfortable with V to an extent, and she finally has a support system.

I think…the reason why I love Uzi so much is that she’s sadly reflects the experience of what it's like not being able to fit into society's mold of acceptable. Even if she might not be neurodivergent, the bullying and isolation she experiences is very familiar. I wanted to do her justice as much as I could with that all in mind and with the resources I had. I wanted to give her one happy ending to a day when every other feels like utter hell.

The angsty teen may be badass, but her heart is still fragile.

this was mostly a study for lighting and backgrounds but i ended up liking it so here get fed

( i had a lot of fun drawing this so expect more v art... )

Renault vision4rescue, 2025. A 4 E-Tech adapted for use as a fire tender in collaboration with Software République. It features equipment such as a surveillance drone, enabling the vision4rescue to  serve as a mobile, connected command centre, able to analyse the situation and adapt the response of the emergency services. Ground clearance has been raised by 15 mm and it also features a second electric motor on the rear axle for permanent all-wheel drive.

so I’m allowed to make a MD human AU…right?

RIGHT!

I wanted to get back into drawing some human characters and I wanted to do some studies of N as a human at the same time, the result- these awesome drawings 🤗

Basically some small information about the human versions of them:

- When a “drone” becomes “dead” or is disposed of incorrectly and the solver takes control, their skin becomes paler then when before they were disassembled. CYN used to have a similar skin color to N, but dying can in fact…make you a bit pale.

- When N, J and V become Murder Drones, their skin also mirrors this quality.

- Due to the nanites in their bodies, their eyes glow, and their headbands and tails are connected to their spines. Their ears have also mutated to be more large and sensitive due to CYNS modifications on them, helping them in their hunts trying to wipe out the “drones” beneath them.

-When they bleed, the Murder Drones blood is neon, matching their headband bulb color and tail color, instead of gray, due to them you know…not being filled with oil and blood instead.

- Their scars tend to glow neon yellow as well when they are in their Feral Murder Modes, due to the scars skin being thinner than their normal skin.

- The scars they have received were mostly given to them in Elliot Manor from Tessa’s parents, except for N’s neck scars resulting from all the times his head has been lobbed off by J and V.

- CYNs left eye was stabbed by a fork by James Elliot before her death, making her permanently blind in it and sporting a not so pretty scar she tends to be self conscious about until the solver takes over her entirely.

- N’s face scar was given to him by Louisa one day while protecting CYN when the others weren’t around, by throwing a glass at his face. And of course, he still had to clean it up while injured. 🤕 Most of his scars come from protecting the ones he loves, such as V, Tessa and CYN.

- N used to have hazel eyes and light brown hair before he died and got his warm yellow Murder Drone color, pale skin and sandy brown hair. Out of his squad, N’s neon yellow is the most warmest color, leaning towards more orange than yellow.

- N also has stretch marks around his shoulders, torso, belly and legs, from where his growth process and body modifications were more…painful.

- P.S this is my first time drawing CYN! I have to draw her drone form!! She’s so fun to draw!💛💛

- I will be doing study’s of human V, J and Uzi!! I’m working on Uzis as I type this!!!

I hope you enjoyed this little practice of mine, more art coming soon! I’m also so glad you are enjoying my new chapter of my Absolutely Fanfic on Archive of Our Own! And for those who don’t know what that is, you can read it below!!!

YOU CAN FIND UZI’s human form HERE !!

Tessa: “drone society is so interesting! So glad to be apart of it!”

Lizzy: “yea you just gotta watch out for rouge hungry solver drones sometimes”

Tessa: “whats a solver drone?”

Lizzy then drops her backpack in between them and digs out a THICK journal. She starts flipping through it

Lizzy: “I got all the info you need to know here and it’s all organized by sections with real world examples: Uzi, Uzi’s mom Nori, Doll, Doll’s mom Yeva!”

Tessa: “….you studied all that?”

Lizzy: “well duh! I even went online to try and dig up stories from past humans and their experiences with solvers but there wasn’t much. I also have a whole other book on disassembly drones”

Tessa: “I didn’t know you did this kind of thing!”

Lizzy: “I want to be Copper 9’s first biologist one day”

Tessa: “thats a really cool goal Lizzy!!! Your so smart!”

Lizzy flicks her hair with one hand while handing her the book with the other

Lizzy: “I know”

"Ahhh a cheeky one, aren't ya? I've got a feeling we're gonna get along juuuust fine, girl."

Theoretical Tessa and J's relationship in the first few days of their initial meeting. J's drone body malfunctions and is unusable for the time being. Luckily, Tessa saves J's core and decorates her while she repairs J's body! I just wanted an excuse to draw RippingRoyals hehehe.

kumbayaaa my lord

Taken from this legendary vine lmao

[macsduster13]

finally got motivation to draw again (reference included)

[cryptic-bee]

big fan of this freak [< affectionate]

couldn't sleep so I spent 2 hours finishing what was meant to stay a sketch page of Cyn thumbs up it is 3am pleade

closeups below the cut :]

litol bug crechur. she has taken many many lives

[nuzipilled]

thought I’d drop this here, i’ve been working on a j character study for the past couple weeks and i dropped the first chapter a few days ago. It’s a post canon AU where J learns about and has since been coping with the loss of tessa as she struggles to fit in with daily life at the outpost. a little open ended so i have leeway in terms of what’s gonna happen in episode 8. nuzi is real and vizzy enjoyers get their crumbs too. there’s lots of emotional constipation and crying. Hoping to get chapter 2 up in a bit. It’s a long ass fic, currently we’re sitting at about 18k words and 6 chapters but i’m shooting for 8-10 depending on my workload over the next couple of days. go check it out if you’re interested! it’s my first work so please be nice 👉👈

erm- hi. here’s whatever this is lmfao /lh

Uzi is caught off guard. She has never seen her dad cry before. It felt very strange to her. It was essentially the re-discovery of a side of Khan that Uzi only remembers seeing vaguely when she was very young.

The first thing that Uzi thought was “Woah..” but then she thought, “Why?”

“Why with me? What makes me of all people so special that he would feel comfortable to show this?” She thought.

Uzi already knows that Khan doesn’t tend to show vulnerability. She doesn’t know why. Although, from what Uzi has gathered, whenever Khan does, he seems visibly uncomfortable. Uzi can’t fully tell if it’s embarrassment, or shame, but she doesn’t need to be able to tell. She somehow already knows enough.

The other part of Uzi’s thinking is realizing that she doesn’t mind that this is happening, and is in fact more concerned. Again, she doesn’t know why she’s feeling this way. Was it because it was her father of all people? The overly optimistic door-enthusiast? Who seems to never let himself be bothered by anything? Maybe. Or perhaps it’s because--

No. Enough. Stop thinking so hard. She doesn’t have the time or patience right now for a deep analysis on another’s emotions. She’ll figure that all out later. But for now, she just wants to focus on the here and now; willingly for once. She wants to be here for her dad. If her presence is so comforting, and if that is what makes Khan feel better, then so be it. That is what she will focus on.

Can't believe they leaked the Volume 3 album art guys!

[fandom-hopping]

Content warning ig : the models for the pose references are barely clothed/one is a wee bit suggestive(?)

I'll be doing some more with canon characters, but I used some pose references for oc art

Mary and S (S belongs to my bf)

Tarra with a big stretch

If you ever need good pose refs, @theposearchives do some really great work, including couple and fantasy poses. Be warned, they do have some suggestive poses as well on their accounts. (Their Tumblr seems to be for only reblogs, you'll have to visit some of their other profiles for their poses)

I love making google slides with my fav stuff to study. It makes it more fun and personalised. Today's subject, chemistry and i thought i'd make it Murder Drones theme :333
