she aint dead but damn this would go hard if she was 🩷

[jubileemon]

Tessa was already dead from the very beginning. It turns out the Absolute Solver murdered Tessa and took control of her body years before humans were extinct. It's no wonder why N decapitated Tessa when she attempted to kill Uzi due to him suspecting her treachery. This could mean that for the entire time Uzi, N, V, and J never realized that the woman they knew, Tessa was truly gone until it was too late. For the past few episodes, N hasn't been talking to his mother/big sister figure, but her dead body!

When N decapitates "Tessa," he breathes heavily and slumps against his arm-blade, clearly panicking about killing his familial figure, even if she was a flesh disguise for the Solver. 😭😭😭

Episode 1 J was killed by a railgun from the year 3071.

Episode 7 J was hit by a Blue bird 2000 school bus which were built in the year 2000.

using linear extrapolation, when J gets injured, it'll be by a deadly item from the year 1847.

Now for those who don't know, the gun Tessa uses is a black gunpowder navy revolver which was invented in 1847 by Samuel Colt.

So my theory is simple, following the pattern, J will be shot in episode 8 by Tessa's revolver. Also if we continue with the linear extrapolation, we can conclude if we ever get an episode 20, J will be crucified.

Doll killed and consumed countless innocent drones in pursuit of her goal, only to be killed and eaten herself just short of achieving it.

Poetic

Some Murder Drones Episode 7 screenshots I thought were interesting and my thoughts on them :>

SPOILER WARNING!!!! is spoilering

Nori, despite being a middle aged woman with a child, appears to be an Otaku or otherwise likes "edgy" and "scene" stuff, as well as listening to nightcore, very much like her daughter. Good for her tbh you're never too old to have fun

She also has a photo of Khan and what I can only assume is baby Uzi, though it appears to have blue eyes, but maybe it's just the lighting. Still very cute she has a pic of her husband

As well as all the previously mentioned Otaku stuff, she also drew herself as an anime character. She has a skinsona. Phenomenal (pos)

Nothing much here, just Uzi coughing up blood. Girl got the goop (gore) inside of her already

Lab Space. Apparently the Church was just down there and not even the humans know why. The canonicity of this is questionable; it could just be a joke

OT, as per google, stands for "Occupational Therapy". Makes sense for the context, and makes the bottom text funnier

"Fun Time To Universe Big Crunch: 87". The Big Crunch is a hypothetical way the Universe could end, where the universe folds on itself and shrinks into a single point. 87 "what" I don't know. If it's months, that 7 years and 3 months

Honestly the Murder Drones lore is super confusing. I think what this is trying to say is that every other Zombie Drone is doing poorly, (Except for Yeva), they are trying to reactivate 002 (Nori) via the USB. I'm not sure what this means. Maybe they only got the results they wanted from the two of them, and are trying again with Nori since she was the only other one that worked (also why they got Yeva when she failed; this may all be referring to how the episode opened up) Also, the date says SER. As revealed in the episode Cabin Fever, Copper-9 has months that Earth does not. SER most likely stands for Seramorris, the month revealed in that episode

Looks like the "bad event" wasn't the first one. Certainly was the last one though lol

Just a good pic of ghost/hologram V with the scary stuff. Might use this as a wallpaper

You can literally see the hole in his neck where N bit him in...

...And it's to the point his HEAD FALLS OFF. (including because I didn't notice the first time around)

Yup, the idea that Uzi became the Admin for N and V is completely true. I wonder what would've happened if she didn't, since Cyn didn't react whatsoever

friggin bug (very pos)

You would not believe how difficult it was to get a good pic of this (I'm using snipping tool lmao). Always a pleasure to see Uzi's doodles. Things her gun can do (upper right):

NOT judge her

Forced prom date (?)

Allows her to say she had friends before she frickin murdered them with sci-fi machinery

The cut off text at the bottom: Plan B: Normal gun + Shoot really fast

This is while Tessa is looking for something in the lockers. Claws, chains, magnets, Wings, and scribbled "HELP". Looks like the lockers were all specifically to hold the infected worker drones. Oof

We are in the future now baby. We have rererererereCAPTCHA. Funnily enough, it still couldn't stop a robot

There is a message board where someone who doesn't like robots is talking. They also are scared. Also no one else is using this system, which is unsurprising. "Ur aight ;)" Wait is the winky face intentional foreshadowing? Or unintentional?

We get the names of a bunch of other Worker Drones. Unfortunately for all 029 fans, her name was not visible. (also can someone tell me what "JWEB" could be short for?) And Yeva is said to have a patch. That may be the crucible thing idk

Cyn (which I will be calling this version Skyn [Skin + Cyn]) apparently took of the space suit just to give Doll the Withered Foxy jumpscare. Honestly really terrifying. If this photo was teased before release I think the fandom would've exploded

Just N being a good boy :3

The MDs, Cyn's pets. Nori refers to them as "Nerfed" so the "Entity" can ensure control, and says they were made to destroy other hosts. I don't know why Cyn would want them dead, but I'm not the loremaster here. YouTube line is there because I couldn't be bothered after the Railgun image

Probably already confirmed, but doubly confirmed that a symptom of the Solver is giving Drones organic insides. A Worker Drone body with a rib cage and guts. I wonder what would happen if the infection continued uninterrupted (also R.I.P. Doll I loved you :frown:)

I'm sure everyone noticed, but when Uzi tried to manipulate Tessa, the ERROR noticed appeared. Already hinting Tessa is not all she says she is

Apparently the Solver can create Black Hole Saws. Interesting development (Blackhole Blitz)

I know most people (I think) see this as a joke and N just being a bit of goofball. But honestly, I think he did it intentionally to shock Cynuzi and give Nori a chance. In the Pilot, he licked V's sword to surprise her too, which means he isn't unfamiliar with doing something weird and surprising for the advantage

Skyn eating Doll's core. R.I.P. Doll again. Seriously, was that Doll in Core Form like Nori was? Or was Nori a fringe case because she was "Exorcised" and this is just a regular core? Questions, questions. Also yeah the Solver also gives you a Core. Fun

This tag makes me think that this body is Cyn's actual body. Not longer a hologram, but her actual body from the mansion. The reason Tessa gave N, J, and V their names was because that was the first letter of their Serial Designation (she's very uncreative). However, Cyn's tag was slightly faded, which meant her SD couldn't be seen, so Tessa gave her the name "Cyn" after her P/N, even though the other 3 already have the same P/N as Cyn (Tessa, again, is very uncreative)...

...and for some reason, Cyn or the Solver, which ever theory you subscribe to, decided to wear Tessa as a skin suit for some twisted reason. It did help her with the Captcha. Also scary because this doesn't have the right proportions for an adult (unless Cyn really forced that skin on), which leads me to believe that this is a Younger Tessa, and she faked having an older voice. Maybe I shouldn't call her my wife... I'm sure Eldritch J is still available :^)

(Seriously, the eyes are burnt out, leaving two eye holes over the visor, so she gives herself two X eyes so it looks better. Also yeah we found out what that thing on the "It Came From Copper-9" poster came from. It really was Cyn or Skyn)

Just a frame of the final...frame... for coolness. I'm probably also going to use this for a background. Also, this is definitely Copper-9. You can see the ring and ringless moon together on the right. Uzi somehow got sent to orbit after falling in the meat hole

Well that was all for now. This series has consumed me entirely, body and soul, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Goodbye and goodnight

[world-of-theories]

Ya know I had a crack theory a while back that

Pomni was Tessa

Mainly because of the fact that cyn said this to Tessa

And since we all know what happened there

I thought, hey wouldn’t it be funny if Tessa was stuck in some digital space as a sort of way for cyn to keep her promise?

But that would be crazy right

RIGHT?

[smolldust]

posting these tags I made on another post here

[cartoon-cass]

This one fucking frame haunts me! 47 days in Nori talks about the Disassembly Drones coming to Copper 9, does that mean A, Nori got married and had Uzi after the DDs came to Copper 9 or B, Nori got married and had Uzi with in 47 days of her being freed from Cabin Fever labs? I'm trying to make a timeline just to use for fics and AUs but this show does not make it easy ;-;

Also Nori's bow is oddly low poly for some reason.

[insert-rwby-reference]

something I noticed in the new md teaser gif

Uzi is holding Nori's choker in the teaser gif Glitch posted. I'm not 100% sure why she took it off here, so I'd love to hear some theories!

[starryinkart]

(Reblogs are appreciated <3)

Made a Murder Drones Episode 8 Bingo Card since the episode is coming soon!

Would love to hear your guys’ opinions on what’s gonna happen!

(P.S I have SO many more but they won’t fit in one bingo post 🥺, like for example, Thad and N becoming bros, or Thad becoming N’s support dude, J crying or being in denial about Tessa etc.)

[azrawolf]

Is it just me or are they setting up for more seasons with this?!

(I know it's just a joke but THERE IS A POSSIBILITY!!!)

[theothersideofthesolver]

Cyntessa was alive, guys. Tessa herself was long gone, but all the flesh Cyn wore? Those parts of Tessa were alive. And it was a lot more than Tessa’s skin. It was her bones. It was her muscles. It was her entire body, except for the parts Cyn had to hollow out to merge (Tessa’s skull was either almost or entirely gone, so Cyn’s drone head could take its place.)

When the sentinel bit into Tessa’s arm, it bled. The body never was decaying. It had a functioning circulatory system.

We know the solver is capable of creating, manipulating, and therefore sustaining biological life.

Cyn kept Tessa alive, in every way except the one that matters. It seems she wanted to keep Tessa around, but needed to dispose of the part that would not cooperate: Tessa mind and consciousness itself.

Colour blindness in Murder Drones

can we talk about how colour blindness is very common in Murder Drones.

In all the POV shots, the only character who see's colours is Doll while Uzi, N, and Kenzie Day are all colourblind (specifically cone monochromacy). We also know Alice isn't colourblind since she identified Nori's yellow eyes.

So when Uzi's eye(s) turn yellow or bleeds blood instead of oil; no one points it out because most characters wouldn't be able to tell.

Edit. if you look in the reblogs, I've done a lot more investigating and found N is colour blind but not Uzi. Check it out.

[haastera]

These two did more to fight the Absolute Solver than anyone else in the series

Intentionally or unintentionally, these two frustrated the CYN-Solver's plans enough for it to get personally involved with Flesha.

Infected Solver hosts, Disassembly Drones, Corrupted cores.

Alice and Beau fought, killed, and contained them all.

Not bad for an ordinary drone and a literal baby.

[feeshoutawater]

Alright Murder Drones fandom, I’ve got a question for you.

Who was N trying to save here?

(Spoilers for ep 7!)

I haven’t watched the finale yet so this whole thought process may be obsolete lol, but I’ve been wondering about this.

So during this fight I feel N was holding back the whole time, like he was just fighting to survive. Obviously he doesn’t want to hurt Uzi, and I think he was still kind of too stunned and scared to try and hurt Cyn. But in this moment where Nori threw the pickaxe and it was definitely on course to hit Uzi/Cyn (?), N made a choice and pushed her out of the way.

In the moment of watching this I thought maybe he saw past Cyn and did it as an act of saving Uzi, because it would’ve been a dangerous (if not deadly) blow.

But then I was thinking about it, and Uzi showed no signs of taking back over before then. It got me wondering, was he trying to save Uzi, or Cyn?

Because Cyn is like his little sister. He doesn’t remember a whole lot from his life before, but one of the only things he does remember is taking care of Cyn. And sure, she’s been trying to kill him this entire episode. But, he still knows her. He’s an optimist, he doesn’t want to hurt people if he doesn’t have to.

BUT ALSO, when I rewatched this scene to get screenshots, he looks up after pushing her and gives a little smile. And Uzi sees that. For a split second he reaches her.

So I’m leaning towards he was protecting Uzi and didn’t want her to get hurt. The only thing that makes me question that a bit is the fact that he decided to push her after Cyn winked at him, which definitely isn’t something that would make him think of Uzi.

ALSO though I’ve been operating under the impression that Cyn was like, inside Uzi? Like she was possessing her to do whatever agenda she had to she could get more power and like come back (idk why I thought she was dead or smth) annnd the whole Tessa thing makes it way more complicated and I’m not sure what’s going on 😂

Anywho, what do y’all think?
