“ships Should At Least Make Sense.” No. Ships Can Make Sense, Sure. But They’re Just Fictional

An attemp of a theory that became more of a headcannon:

So im 99% sure they egg babies in Murder Drones are reporpused toys. Like dolls made by JC Jensen. Would make the actual Doll's name kinda ironic.

Maybe she was the first.

Also, notice how nobody has one in the present of the serie in the bunker. Or some small robot or even anyone that's under 18. So, I have the suspicion that Uzi's generation is the only one.

Did someone else already made that connection?

They ended up sharing the towel

Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)

Healing the Wounds left Behind

Uzi_Doorman_Fiction-Kin (LunarCrystalWrites)

Summary:

She shouldn’t have survived. Those were the words Rebecca lived by every day, every time she remembered that she was living on borrowed time, somehow still alive thanks to some cruel twist of fate, even when Darren, Sam, Braiden and even her little sister Emily were dead and gone. They were gone and yet she was still alive. Left alive to realize she had always been in the wrong, left alive to process new injuries and limitations. Left alive to realize she’d failed her sister in the worst way possible, and she couldn’t even apologize anymore, because Emily was gone and Rebecca’s last words to her were “I hate you, you soft freak!”. Rebecca is alone, so alone she must pull the broken pieces of herself back together. It’s all she can do now.

murder drones is a very bisexual show and you cant convince me otherwise. like 80% of the cast gives off bisexual vibes.

why is there a red light on?🤭

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point
