#we really looked at Uzi and said ‘found family be upon ye’ because her actual family kinda sucks

[limeinaltime]

So I recently had this discussion with another user of Uzi being a wholesome cool big sis/parental substitute to a human child. Think maybe you could draw some cute little drawings of this? A drawing of her hugging the kid with them bundled up in a blanket, taking a protective stance in front of them, tucking them into bed, trying to come off as edgy and cool while also cuddling the kid, stuff like that?

I had a whole idea surrounding this concept and I am always a sucker for edgy gremlins having a softer side underneath all that angst. Uzi is not exempt from this, teen angst be damned.

Once the two make it to Earth, the two have to take a short road trip to make it to JC Jensen (on Earrrrth) and along the way, find a runaway/kidnapped kid. N, being the way he is, manages to convince Uzi to let the kid tag along at least until they make it to civilization and can pawn the kid off onto an adult human who’ll know what to do. Typical road trip shenanigans ensue and Uzi finds herself getting more and more attached to this kid (he and N became besties five minutes after he found him), and maybe starts to rethink her whole plan to kill all humans (she knows the higher-ups at JC Jensen are bad but maybe not all of humanity has to be punished for what the company did to her people). Along the way the kidnappers or some bad people catch up to them and Uzi manages to keep the kid safe until N can reach them and invoke the fear of god into these guys. The police and the kid’s parents show up, they send the kid back to his mom, touching moment, blah blah blah, okay, now back to killing some capitalists.

The bottom doodle is from an AU/ OC storyline me and some friends have been making on Discord. I’m sure you all know about X (the tall lady) from the gratuitous number of drawings I’ve been posting, but she also ends up getting an adopted daughter named T (the small disassembly drone), who belongs to @edibletrees2 . T is the last of her generation/line of drones, and is pretty much mentally and physically stuck as a 7-year old and has to eat metal instead of oil. The duo and X end up finding her after she flees her previous squad and take her in.

It takes Uzi some time to get used to having T around (especially after T tried to gnaw on her leg while she was asleep) but as it turns out, feral goth girl edginess is no match for the power of ✨Babie™✨ energy and T has tons of that to spare. The two also end up bonding over having garbage dads (T’s old squad leader was not a nice guy) and Uzi becomes like an overprotective, grumpy big sister (T gets a lot of older siblings/family figures in this AU because it’s what she deserves).

Anyway, Uzi definitely has a softer side under all that teen angst and repression but like hell she’s letting anyone see it.
