#THE FOX AND PRETENDER DOODLE WAS A VISION

Baby Disassembly Drones Part 2

Now with Cyn and some Tessa!

The first part, Part 2 headcanons here ones take place in the past when they are worker drones.

N

When he is stressed and close to getting small, he will pick up some kids books from the library and bring them to the restricted part to read alone. ~Usually Clifford the Big Red Dog series

A bit after Cyn joined the group, she overheard N reading while she was in the cellar [because of the humans, J won't lock her in this AU(?)] and listened along to the story and asked to read with him when she got out.

He now loves reading to Cyn and he sometimes rambles outside of the book; and she happily listens to it all ~Everyone in the group actually loves to hear him talk too

There have been a few times where work has been so loud and upsetting that he hides under a table with a cloth and just cries until someone finds him. [normally J] ~Then they have their best bonding ever by having a Cheer-Up Break

He's a puppy regressor and loves makes dog noises in that mood. ~ He likes to 'boof' a lot when he is excited

J

She's a big doodler! She likes drawing "sonas" of herself, because she likes to think about what she may look like in other worlds or species. ~She doodles the human-sona most of the time and it is a lot worse looking when she's smol

She hid her regression the longest out of the group because she got so scared that if the corporate found out, they'd think it was a malfunction ~But she finally got to tell one of the drones [V] at one point. And J told the other two and Tessa about it soon after.

Tessa gave her old pacifier for J and it will always be J's favorite; she uses it the most

When she's small: she'll sit on the floor, hold her whale plushie, and just observe out the window, focusing on the stars and pretty greenery

J's a reptile [vague for her] regressor and she has a pretty, green colored dress and stockings she puts on for it ~She play-attacks with this fake mouse she just found one day

V

V normally hangs out in Tessa's room while small, so Tessa helps care for her if she has the time ~If Tessa's chained up, they both just rest with each other most of the time instead

V baby-sat Cyn a lot before V talked about her regression to the group ~She still baby-sits sometimes, but now the two of them just have playdates in the cellar as well

N will read the doggie books with her a lot and it's one of V's favorite things to do; just listening or reading along with N

She has a fox headspace and has the nicknames Kit and Cub [Names for baby foxes] ~Tessa sewed her a few fake fox tails and V sometimes piles them all on her dress at once in her baby-space to be a kitsune

J needs to keep a eye on V's glasses so she doesn't lose them on accident

Cyn

She was really confused when one day her head got a little fuzzy after a kinda long day, but Tessa noticed the signs and helped her feel better ~This was sorta the point that the other drones started feeling more open about themselves

Loves playing pretend with Tessa's toys and sometimes the others join in ~It really depends on the work the main three do, since Cyn isn't supposed to be in the corporate's range of vision like the trio

After a while, she concurred she regresses to the same range as N, just a few months older though ~She also has two pet-spaces: Snake and Racoon

She sometimes goes into her monster form when she's small, and she never had the others find out about it [until maybe super later on] ~She is always in her snake-space when in monster-and-regressed mode

She doesn't like moving or even really standing up when she's tiny since her balance unfortunately gets as bad as a human baby's ~N is almost always the one to carry her to where she needs or wants

All of them

Little revise, but all drones [just.. the entire drone population who can regress] get a pink blush when they regress but they have a setting to turn it off for a certain time

The squad have sleepovers in Tessa's room way too much and Tessa loves to help keep them content ~She's the ultimate human caregiver

They all got matching onesies with simple little patterns in pastels

There are few days where V takes care of the squad for a full break ~She normally regresses by accident when caring for them and then it's just a little guy party

When Cyn somehow does reveal her monster form, they will be super accepting, even if it was super shocking.

Rubedo (Subject Two) headcanons

Ive had Subject Two brainrot since I heard leaks about the event (I wish i was joking) so heres lots of hcs I’ve gathered over the 2 and a half months-ish.

There’s a lot. Im not shying away from angsty hcs. tw for sui/sh/”parental” abandonment

--

-He’s not actualy evil or hates Albedo, Durins remaining conciousness corrupted and manipulated him while he was groggy as fuck from waking up after 500 years.

-Basically the whole event is Durin using Subject Two and the Fellflower as tools to try and kill Albedo.

-The fellflower dies at the end of the Event, Albedo lets Subject Two roam the mountain like a hermit because he is a person.

-Subject Two doesnt care about the fellflower at all and couldnt care less that its dead.

-More of a fellflower hc than Subject two but the fellflower is most closely compared to a parrot. It is not fully sentient and it can only repeat what it has heard before. Its quite litterally just a slightly advanced whopperflower. If it were to survive, it would be more like a pet than a third brother or a son.

-Subject Two is terrified that one day Albedo will change his mind and come kill him.

-He tries his hardest to revert some of his alchemical “plastic surgery”, really all he can manage is turning his eyes back to their natural colour (red). Granted he didnt look that different from Albedo before the alchemy due to being a prototype for him, so there wasnt much to fix anyway.

-He hates reflective surfaces for awhile cause he’s extremely guilty about the events.. events, and his reflection only makes him think of Albedo.

-Durins telepathic link with Subject Two stays for quite some time, Durin trying to coax Subject Two back to try again. At some point they turn into auditory hallucinations and Subject Two has no idea when the switch actually happened.

-At some point while on the mountain, Subject Two in a large bit of depression attempts to follow his primary order. To be dead. He tosses himself off the skyfrost nail yet only recieves some cracks in his face.

-Subject two is made of clay rather than chalk like Albedo.

-Subject Two likes to bury himself in the snow. “To pretend he’s dead”

-Snow Foxes like to lay on him when he does it.

-Subject Two runs into adventurers every so often. Most often he will pretend to be Albedo and help the adventurer with what they need, when he’s really bored he’ll pretend he has no idea who Albedo is.

-Subject Two grows to crave his own life so badly due to always being seen as Albedo that he gives himself a name (Rubedo), and even manages to get a vision. (Think like QIqi’s story, wanting so badly to just live that celestia blesses them)

-His specific vision story is saving Fischl from a deadly fall through some thin ice while her and Bennett are exploring the mountain. The two repeatedly thank him, thinking he’s Albedo. Their gratefulness makes him wish so badly that they knew who to actually thank. It accumulates all his past longing to be his own person and a vision pops up in his hand once the two of them leave.

-Rubedo has extremely vague memories of Rhinedottir. Thinking about her makes him feel disgusting. Her calling him “Nigredo” tends to echo in his head, even though he hardly remembers the context, he just knows its bad.

-When he tells Albedo his chosen name, Albedo tries to ask “shouldn’t it be Nigredo?” He doesnt manage to finish the sentence because Rubedo is quick to get defensive and visibly panicked over it.

-Aka: Dont say “Nigredo” around Rubedo, its a major trigger word and he hardly knows why.

-Rubedo would doodle stick figures in the snow and sit above the entrance to Albedos lab to pretend he had a family before being taken in.

-Albedo finally takes in Rubedo properly when a fatui cicin mage tries to recruit him due to his cryo vision. Rubedo is so clueless about what visions and Delusions are that he would have fallen for it if Albedo didnt spot him.

-Rubedo is TERRIFIED of Klee even though she is the only person to ever not immediately think he’s Albedo.

-He adores Klee absolutely but shes a very hyper child and it overwhelms him

-Albedo decides to be a little shit and makes Klee Rubedo’s main teacher of “being your own person”

-Rubedo picks up Alchemy extremely quickly... On paper.

-Alchemy tables have a 50/50 chance to just not respond to him due to his imperfect creation.

-Rubedos physical imperfections include: able to feel temperature (albeit very very subtly) and his skin feels frozen because it didnt fully stop being clay (thus the cracked face)

-Rubedo’s largest mental imperfection is: His primary order is broken. Unlike a normal homonculous he usually has no order to persue, but occasionally his mind will do a complete 180 and he will exist only to fulfill his order. Which obviously was to “stay dead”.

-It’s very stressful for anyone who has to protect him during these times. Luckly they are extremely rare.

-He hates the traveler.

-While this hc stems from my "Subject Two au” including traveler taking advantage of Albedos kindness and treating festering desire like a piece of scrap metal, this would be present in any version of the traveler. Rubedo just hates them in general.

-Following my version of the traveler in this au: Traveler (Aether) put Festering Desire in the hidden alcove that usually holds snow-tombed starsilver. Rubedo comes across it when exploring the mountain (before being taken in) and took the sword for himself.

-Rubedo may despise Rhinedottir, but he deeply cares for his fellow creations. He’s extremely protective of Albedo and treasures Festering Desire because it represents a time when Durin was happy and not evil. He was discarded and disrespected, he refuses to let his brothers experience the same.

-If Rubedo ever learns about Rosaria’s stalking Albedo because “hes suspicious >:/” he’d lose his shit and probably try to fight her. Albedo would likely have to drag him away by the shirt apologizing profusely while Rubedo keeps yelling.

-This protectiveness extends to Klee and Sucrose.

-Speaking of Sucrose, her and Rubedo end up bonding over their abandonment trauma, thus why Rubedo ends up being so protective of her.

-Rubedo is a pacer when rambling about alchemy, contrasting Albedo who tends to stay relatively still and chug coffee.

-Albedo is very happy to have an alchemist who can think as fast as he can, him and Rubedo theorizing back and forth can last hours and is nearly impossible for Sucrose or Timaeus to follow.

-Oh also Rubedo hates TImaeus. Not in the same way as the traveler, Rubedo just cant understand why Albedo gives him the time of day when Timaeus’ work never goes anywhere. So its more of a general annoyance than a genuine hate.

-Rubedo brings two snow foxes with him when Albedo moves him to Mondstadt. They are his pets. He loves them so much and calls them his babies because Albedo made the mistake of teaching Rubedo what a baby is.

-Kaeya is the only person Albedo trusts to keep an eye on Rubedo whenever he has to travel outside the region. Nobody really knows why but Rubedo and Kaeya get along surprisingly well.

-Rubedo is extremely touch starved but is so bad at expressing it. Klee is usually the only one who gives him physical affection.

-Rubedo, despite not being able to recall much of that time, has reoccuring nightmares of when Rhinedottir fed him to Durin.

-Because of this he doesnt usually sleep in long enough spurts to start dreaming.

-Rubedo was not the first prototype for Albedo, he was just the first one to actually wake up. (The previous ones all ending in remaining a hollow shell or being alive but stuck in a comatose state for eternity) He was however, the last.

-Rubedo hardly remembers seeing the remains of the others but he knows they existed. Albedo only ever knew of Rubedos existance.

-Rubedo would try to pet the rift hounds. They’re family! He wants to pet them and give them so much love and “awaa they’re pubbies, Albedo!!!” “Rubedo they will literally kill you” “BUT PUBBIES-”
