(Spoilers for episode seven and eight of Murder Drones!!!!!!!!!)
J's relationship with Tessa is apparently clear in episode five. You can easily see that the two are very close, and even are best friends. "There's humans coming, and I've only ever yakked to robots, J!" (Episode: Home) In episode five, there is also a scene that shows how much they care about one another: Tessa and J clinked their glasses, and Tessa who was reminded of the noise of chains locking her up, rubbed her own wrist and winced in pain. J looked at her with concern and sadness, so Tessa assured her that she was alright.
As we can see just from these two examples, J and Tessa definitely care for each other quite a bit. As we know, Cyn killed Tessa and wore her skin. It could easily be assumed that anything Cyn would do has a purpose and would benefit her in some way, but this just doesn't make sense, as it doesn't do her any favors. With this thought process, it's obvious to come to the conclusion that she didn't have a reason; she just wanted to because she's sadistic, and she particularly wanted to disturb J, specifically (yes, I know that sentence is redundant). Because J was so close to Tessa, and likely was forced to watch Tessa die at the hands of Cyn, she was very disconcerted by Cyn wearing Tessa's skin and even mimicking her voice, so it was easy for Cyn to manipulate her. "If I promise you anything, it tricked me, too." (Episode: The Absolute End)
If you were to ask yourself what you would do in J's situation, I'm sure that you would want to think logically. What do you do if somebody who you've never liked in the first place kills your best friend, wore their skin, mimicked their voice, and tried to act like them? On top of that, this person is super powerful and would be nearly impossible to defeat. Now, they are telling you that they won't hurt you if you do something for them. Anybody would take the deal at this point, so that's what J did. In an already distressed state, J realized that there was basically no way that Cyn would ever lose, so theoretically, it would be the safest option to do what she wants. "I promise, it's better on the winning team as a team." (Episode: The Absolute End)
After J had teamed up with Cyn, she also got V in on it, too. "You said we do our jobs, and that thing leaves us alone!" (Episode: The Absolute End) Both J and V kept the secret from N, and this is implied to be part of their deal with Cyn. This is particularly shown in episode eight after V tries to tell N about how the "Tessa" that they know is actually Cyn, and then Cyn says to her, "Do your job, and I leave you and N alone. Right, V?" (Episode: The Absolute End). Since we know that J and V both had made a deal with Cyn, we can infer that they had always known since the beginning, and have been being manipulated by Cyn in real time during the time of the show. Of course the way that V was manipulated by Cyn is heartbreaking as well (and I will make a post about her in the future 😉), the way that J was manipulated is horrifying. You may have seen memes online about J being William Afton from FNAF, because every time we think she dies she tends to come back eventually. But the truth is that it was very intentional of Cyn to make J basically immortal, because in that case J would never be capable of rebelling against her. If she rebelled, Cyn could torture her and or simply kill her and bring her back with all the memories. J couldn't take her own life because Cyn would bring her back. Because J thought that There was no way to beat Cyn, she figured that getting on her good side was the safest often. She just thought that there was literally no way that she could go against Cyn without being tortured forever.
"You know there's no escape, even in death!" (Episode: The Absolute End)
(This is just a theory of mine, but I find it likely that the reason that J would call Cyn "Boss" just like she called Tessa "Boss", is so she could try to familiarize Cyn and make her seem more like Tessa in order to make the situation feel better. But that's JUST A THEORY-- A GAAMMMMEE THEORY)
I figured I should just post this then let my nerves get the better of me LMAO
I dunno why Ive been so anxious to openly admit I have my own OC X Canon ship, so many of my mutuals and friends are chill with it and do OC X Canon as well!! Plus, the community on here is so sweet about it
anyways, a little doodle of my girl K17 and her very stoic, totally not her crush, J B)
I honestly have no idea how to start this; I have so many things to say and yet very little at the same time. I'm very sad that MD will end soon but I'm very glad that we got something from it even if it is short lived. I honestly hope that they hit us with a 180 and smack us with a season 2 ep1 out of no where but I guess we can only dream and find out when the next episode drops.
It's a shame that N didn't get one, so I am gonna fix it this year (very poorly)
I already figured but...
*changes j’s oil supply with black coffee to create chaos* good luck scrubs
...*sigh* ...ok...who let J into the caffeine...
Post Series designs for the DDs!
N is settling in just fine! Finally proposed to Uzi 3 years after the Solver's defeat, getting a shit-ton of therapy after everything that's happened, and helping the Worker Drones demolish and rebuild the surface world! Cyn stitched the moon and sun on his shorts, at any time you can find 3-4 cool rocks in his pockets.
V doesn't hang around the Bunker too often but mostly crashes at N and Uzi's place or Lizzy's— she's happy exploring beyond their old hunting territory and bringing back any exciting finds or coordinates of other Worker Drone settlements she terrorizes discovers. She's out here living her best life free as can be!
J is,, not doing too well. Decades of being reluctantly compliant with Solver's orders until it's all she knew, so deep into the deception that she started believing the lies herself and having all that familiar song and dance (watching the Solver destroy yet another planet) ripped away in a single night? Not good on the mind, apparently.
J avoids all other Drones unless she's hunting them for oil, and if she is spotted it's likely near one of the ship pods and goes combative immediately if approached. She's VERY protective of the sling bag she always has on; inside being Tessa's cremated remains. It's all J has left.
She's utterly lost on what else to do. No boss, no orders, and finally coming to terms with what she's been through and what she's done to aid in the destruction of countless lives and entire planets. Her goal is to leave Copper-9 to go back to Earth (there is no Earth anymore) and finally lay Tessa to rest (They both hated Earth but it was the last place they were happy) (she'll never succeed and this girl needs CLOSURE).
Uzi and n eventually wait to explore space since they probably have multiple space at this and at least one of the disassembly drones had have a blueprint or something
They make v and j tag along
J is depressed after the events of finale and has tried to keep her herself busy to prevent her from thinking about Tessa even by working on repairing the spaceship
V is chaotic as per freaking usual
And cyn is stuck with them
The gang discovers aliens exist
Uzi often gets in trouble with her encounters
N finds the immortal dog planet and pets all of them
And they act like the guardians of the galaxy
I feel like there should be couple more characters with them
J: honestly at this point I just want to be taken out
Uzi: by like a sniper or on a date
J: surprise me
mainly because Tessa only shows up for one episode and pomni was mainly focused on finding an exit
While you could see that Tessa trying break out of her chains as similar way of pomni trying to find exit
there are a lot more in episode two
For example Pomni treats gummigoo like a real and not just an NPC
She doesn’t leave gummigoo alone to find a way to map and doesn’t make him feel any less real then herself
She even offered him a place at the circus
It’s Similar to how Tessa treats the worker drones in the manor
She treats them like real people not just mindless servants that replaceable when they get broken or step out of line
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
And now an average conversation between N, V, and Uzi
Uzi: oil is cool and all. but have you ever had someone care about you?
Uzi: me neither. Pass the arm
N & V: …are we a joke to you
————————————————————————-
Uzi: We’re gonna die
N: now Uzi, think positive
Cyn: hi ;3
Uzi: I’m positive we’re gonna die
————————————————————————-
N: here you go Uzi. Go set something on fire. *hands her a railgun*
Uzi: *runs off* I AM THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION!!!
————————————————————————-
Uzi: ok guys I have to show something. just promise not freak out.
V: listen we’ve been on crazy adventures
N: whatever it is we’ll understand
Cyn: hello [smile]
V & N: there is nothing about this we understand!
————————————————————————-
Uzi: congrats you just won a lifetime supply of oil
J: but you only gave me one can of oil
Uzi: *pulling out her railgun* yep
————————————————————————-
V: Uzi which one of us is your favorite
Uzi: I don’t have favorites you both annoy me equally
V:*walks away doubtful*
Uzi: *turns to N* its you, one hundred percent you
N: :D
————————————————————————-
Thad: Uzi I dare you—
N: Uzi isn’t allowed to accept any dares.
Lizzy: what?! why?
Uzi: I have no regards for my own personal safety.
Lizzy: …ok then V I dare you to—
N: V also isn’t allowed to accept dares.
V: I also have no regards for anyone else’s safety other then you idiots.
Uzi: I once dared her to bring me a head of a sentinel and she come back covered in oil with the head
————————————————————————-
Uzi: in my defense I was left unsupervised
N: wasn’t V with you
V: In my defense I was also left unsupervised
————————————————————————-
N: UZI WAKE UP THE SUN HAS RISEN!!!
Uzi:*clearly to tired to process the sentence* and what do you want me to do photosynthesis
V: NO YOU IDIOT RUN FOR LIFE!!!!
————————————————————————-
N & V:*watching tv and eating batteries*
Uzi:*walks into the room*…. The game
N:*drops his batteries*
V: OH YOU LITTLE—
————————————————————————-
Lizzy:*confused*
Thad: what you got there Uzi
Uzi:*cyn tail biting her arm* smoothie
————————————————————————-
V: I CANT BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO SOMETHING THAT STUPID!!!!
Uzi: and what part of that was out of character for me?
V: …touché
————————————————————————-
Uzi: So you’re essentially a ghost now
Doll: да [yes]
Uzi: and only me and the talking tail can see you
Cyn: hello
Doll: ну, похоже, меня видят только дроны, зараженные абсолютным решателем [well it seems like only drones infected with the absolute solver can see me]
N: *walks into the room* hey Uzi, hey cyn, hello shadowy figure with red eyes
Doll:…цто [what]
Uzi: you seriously didn’t consider that cyn infect them with the solver before she sent them here
Cyn: idiot
Oh boy the stuff I’m making up j’s and cyn’s characters in my head would baffle you’re minds
x I plead the fifth
They did say their are other exo plants similar to copper-9 or maybe she just gonna explore deep space
And where exactly is she planning to go?
Back where she came from?
Where is that?
So many unanswered questions.
Oh no murder drones is ending in 3 days
Yelp guess I’ll do what I always do when my favorite shows come to an end
That is the plot twist of all time and could totally happen!!!
You know what would be cool? If in episode 8, when N confronts J to state how Cyn killed Tessa, J just smirks and states “You believe me to be a fool? Of course I know Cyn was wearing Tessa’s former shell. Tessa’s idea, by the way.”
Before N can process her words, he has to block the sword from an unseen Disassembly Drone, the armband reading the same as the documents seen in episode 4, this supposed Serial Designation S.
As the two combatants tactically retreat, this S speaks in a very familiar Aussie tone, “Your reflexes are as sharp as ever, N.”
To which all N says is “Tessa?!”
I feel like doodling rotund squad today.

Also yall wondering what art app I used - I used to draw weird shit on Kleki before I completely switched to Magma a month ago!
old artwork blehhh- I drew them in 2023. Howhere, here's my old redesign of the squad. When I said redesign, I meant how I would design them personally.
Uzi
N (my worst redesign in my opinion, mostly not happy with how I drew his head here)
V (Only one has hair as far- Don't ask 16y/o me why I refused to draw their hair)
J
You wonder why they're so spiky? It's because I LOVEEE DRAGONS!

Well, I hope yall enjoy those emotionless "redesigns" staring into your souls.

Also... here's the very first furryified design of N...
I don't like his first one, which is the exact reason I only posted his second design here until now...

how dose J react to belly rubs?
I don't think she does like belly rubs that much.
Anyone not Tessa will end up losing their hands in progress lol
However she does love Tessa's pets so she will accept it.
