SHADOW GENERATIONS SPOILERS BELOW!!

there’s something about this scene in murder drones that really fucks with me when I think about it

—long post and murder drones ep 7 spoilers below—

So for a short recap of what happened up till this point, Tessa told N that Earth imploded, to keep the former a secret from Uzi, escaped from whatever the fuck happened in Ep 6 and V sacrificed herself so the rest of them could continue exploring Cabin Fever Labs and not be brutally torn apart by the sentinels.

N’s not having a good time to put it lightly.

He’s in the aftermath of V’s sacrifice and N’s look of just pure despair here says more than I could ever try to put into words.

He’s in shock, he’s concerned and scared and his mind must be working overtime trying to process what just happened.

V may be dead.

Denial or anger or maybe even both comes over him. Even if V and N’s relationship has been messy recently, he still CARES about her and having V sacrifice herself for both his and Uzi’s sake… He just can’t take it.

Impulse takes over as he begins firing at the ruble. V can’t be dead. SHE CAN’T BE DEAD.

He yells at Uzi to use her solver so they can get back V. He starts slashing at the ruble with claws because he needs V with him. He isn’t thinking, he’s just blindly attacking because he NEEDS V.

As he continues acting purely on his emotions, Tessa yells at him to watch it and he turns around to see…

“I… don’t think I s-should. I’m sorry, N…”

N must feel terrible in this moment. In his inconsideration, he hurt Uzi, one of the people he cares the most about. He might already have lost one of his friends and he doesn’t want lose another. He must feel awful.

He tries apologizing, tries deescalating the situation. You can see in his body language here that he’s trying get down to her level, trying to make her feel not uncomfortable with him. He wants to tell her it isn’t her fault, that he lost control of his emotions for a moment and feels deeply sorry for what he just did and-

Tessa interrupts him.

Tessa stops him from trying to talk it out with Uzi. Now, I feel like we all know at this point that this isn’t Tessa. This is Cyn wearing Tessa’s skin pretending to be Tessa and on rewatch this scene hits even harder. At this point in the story, Cyn is trying to regain control of N, either by manipulating him or hacking into his software (as seen by a this).

And to do that, Cyn has to get N alone and isolated from anyone who might try to intervene.

What Cyn is trying to do by not letting N speak to Uzi is that she’s trying to drive a wrench between the two, and if she succeeds, she can have an obedient murder pet that will eat planets with her. Seeing as neither of her plans worked out, she settled on just killing N, thus the whole “why is Cyn after her own murder pet” thing.

I’m getting ahead of myself, back to the scene itself.

This single frame adds so much in such little time its shown. Uzi sees herself bleeding in the reflection of Tessa’s sword, not oil, but blood. As anyone would be in this situation, she’s visibly shocked. Not only does this add another parallel between Doll and Uzi, but it also adds a level of discomfort to Tessa on Uzi’s behalf.

Tessa goes “Uzi, let’s have you sit this one out, eh? Box over there. Robots like boxes, right?” Which is (1. Insensitive and emotionally immature of her. And (2. Cyn trying to get alone with N.

Uzi doesn't want anymore of Tessa’s cryptic bullshit and tries to speak up and is yet again, interrupted by Tessa. This time, she’s speaking solely to N. She wants him to speak.

As you can see, N does not like being abruptly put on the spot. Taking everything prior into account, we can tell that N doesn’t know what to say. Cyn, FOR THE THIRD TIME THIS SCENE, is forcing that wrench harder down into N and Uzi’s relationship.

N is visibly nervous when speaking here. He’s trying to pick his words as carefully as he can under this much stress. He manages to get out “Uzi, there, um, might be some things down here that you don’t want to see.”

Uzi isn’t getting the full picture here. N is hiding something from her, which is terrifying for her. What reason would N have to hide anything from her? And Cabin Fever Labs, possibly the only place where Uzi can get answers, “might have things she doesn’t want to see”? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

N is definitely freaking out because Uzi is freaking out and N doesn’t want to be responsible for anybody freaking out, especially if it’s Uzi.

N isn’t getting the full picture either because “Tessa” is purposefully not giving it to him.

N tries assuring Uzi that everything’s going to be alright, that they’re not going to hurt her.

“…Hurt me?”

…

Uzi’s solver activates and it summons a null void. The corridor starts caving in. N reaches a hand out for Uzi to take. She backs away.

And that ends one of the most emotional one minute and forty two seconds of my life. Yeah, that’s right, everything mentioned here happened in the span of one minute and forty two seconds!

FUCK

ME

I can do you one better

Made this for a one-time joke and put way too much effort into it :')

what a time to be alive

WHAT THE FUCK

What sucks is I get alot of inbox messages that I can't tell if they are real or fake Palestinian donation requests.

It hurts me everytime man :'D it also sucks just not being able to donate cause of financial situations, OIUU but like I can't share these because I know there's been alot of scammers so I genuinely, deeply and utterly apologise if any of these are genuine, I'm just too scared to share incase any are scammers

Because I KNOW there have been impersonators or scammers crawling on Tumblr lately and I don't want anyone to end up giving money to someone who doesn't need it?

So I say this whole heartedly, I just can't share Palestinian asks right now unless there's a way to verify :'> I'll share posts featuring alot of folks who have been verified, but just for the sake of not sharing the wrong persons donations, I hope it's ok that I just- don't share ask requests :'3

(also, idk if it's anything but the guilt trippy ones make me feel insanely bad because I can't donate. I'm sorry I literally can't in my financial situation ;;-;;)

OG post thing

why is he looking at me like that…

random thing I just wanted to talk about

So most people think that when Ford first met Bill, he flipped to a random page in his journal to start righting down how cool he thought Bill was because why would he write “wow my muse is so trustworthy I’d do anything for him” when the page right before was Ford discovering Bill lied to him.

Or, a funnier answer, Ford wrote all that out just to cross it out for the dramatic effect.

I always thought it was implied that Bill, possessing Ford, wrote about how awesome he is (and possibly drew a self portrait). Like I thought that’s what they meant when writing this page. Bill writing down “Bill is soooo handsome. The way he pulls off that bowtie and top hat are NEXT LEVEL! And also he gives the BEST monologues, I bet he doesn’t even rehearse them. I’m so cool- Er, Bill’s so cool,” just to piss Ford off is the only valid way to interpret this page in my eyes.

I’m having fun
