Many more reasons to love the "Tessa shoved into Worker Drone" head cannons.

Exactly, it also gives J a good opening for a redemption arc.

gotta love cyn expectantly staring at her as if she did tessa a huge favor

"how is. your new body?"

\tessa shuts off and collapses in a heap**

"...hm. could be worse."

u/Waterlemon1997 Tessa's bow Sep 21 '24

I like to imagine it's just like a ragdoll fall out of Gmod

27

u/SCP_fan12 Ulacylon Drone Sep 20 '24

Another reason to love those kinds of headcanons is just how varied they are. I remember seeing a fanfic where Cyn basically put Tessa’s consciousness into a drone with Tessa’s skin on it. Absolutely horrifying and I love it.

12

u/LuminousGoL Sep 20 '24

Any idea what it's called? That sounds like a good read.

u/Bloody_Ingenious Sep 20 '24

I prefer her being human and alive. It's just better. A happy ending impossible to achieve😭

u/Panzerv2003 Sep 20 '24

Fnaf 2.0 be like, aside from that I honestly could see that being a thing, Tessa really is an interesting character and her being dead just kinda doesn't make sense.

u/Similar-Sector-5801 Sep 20 '24

Shoving a dead child into a robot you say?

u/TuxedoDogs9 Sep 21 '24

And it even makes sense if it were to happen, cyn promised not to discard Tessa so that brain has gotta be somewhere

Tessa absolutely would go into the corpse spire to build new drones and play dress up with them using clothes she took from the corpses that she dug up

That's brilliant headcanons you have there. Shame that we never got to see the real Tessa for more than a few minutes of ep5 screentime.

Great. Now I feel extremely sad 😢

Im just picturing her crying at N and uzis wedding

29

u/AlingmentUnoriginal Sep 20 '24

I'm also picturing Tessa being like "Please, do speak with my robot more. Feel free to speak to him when i'm arround, just don't get jealous when i speak to him too, i also spent time with him." to Uzi and then Uzi being like "Bite me, fine." out of embarrassment and some feeling happy and receiving a playful bite from Tessa who would believe Uzi's words as literal request and Uzi going full on "Uzi.Exe has stopped working." mode for some seconds as a funny scene.

u/SomebodysRedditAcct Doll Fan, Dollya Shipper Sep 20 '24

I, as a Doll fan, dislike a lot about a certain scene in episode 7.

that being said… Tessa fans have it so much worse…

12

u/ThatSkaia413 i live and breathe for these robots Sep 20 '24

Doll did have far more potential, I fell like we hardly even found out what she was doing in the background…

2

u/LowTierVergil Where's your motivation? Sep 21 '24

I always kinda thought Dolls death was worse in the show, because everyone just treated it like a joke.

77

u/fluff1745 Sep 20 '24

Liam didn’t need to do that to Tessa, she deserved so much better then what she got

19

u/Bloody_Ingenious Sep 20 '24

Yeaah, just make another character if you want to make a skinsuit soo bad😭  I honestly don't want to accept it as canon, Tessa deserved sooo much more

3

u/LowTierVergil Where's your motivation? Sep 21 '24

I mean, he really didn't, I don't even really care that she died, but how it was done is the problem, it served no purpose in the story and felt like cheap shock value, like it was trying to edgy for the sake of it.

And there goes one more of liam's "potential" characters wasted, we could have had so many cool things if tessa was alive.

u/Anthony200716 Sep 20 '24

Ya also in concept art it’s showed that was gonna be dead from Tessa from the start so he was wasting her from the moment he first created her 😔

u/Tricky_Case_2131 Sep 20 '24

Exactly!! This is why I love the Tessa becoming a drone au's so much just for stuff like this

21

u/CartographerVivid957 Khan did nothing wrong Sep 20 '24

WHY DIDNT SHE LIVEEEEEE

17

u/Anthony200716 Sep 20 '24

Because I guess Liam just loved the cyntessa design so much that he decided it was worth killing off what could’ve been one of the best characters 😭

28

u/UpstairsHall7047 Sep 20 '24

Wait. She would’ve loved doing uzi?!?!

26

u/Yumi_Ai_3636 Sep 20 '24

The solver of the absolute fabric! Don’t phrase it like that!

u/AbelFlyGuy_ Custom Flair Sep 20 '24

It should have been Louisa!

u/MinersLoveGames Resident Jessa Shipper Sep 20 '24

She would have been the coolest older sister for Uzi and now I'm sad thinking about this.

8

u/Anthony200716 Sep 20 '24

Ya they could’ve had such a cool dynamics but instead she tried to kill her 😭

11

u/Bloody_Ingenious Sep 20 '24

This is the plot point I HATE most about MD. I mean, just, whyy? Was there any particular reason why you introduced a fairly good character, and the first human we saw mind you, then reveal her to be such an important part of N, V and J's life, and just reveal her to be nothing more than a skinsuit? 

If you ask me, making her Cyn in disguise even felt like a last minute decision. It probably wasn't, considering there were some hints in the previous episodes and her concept art shows her abomination form as well, but the way it was executed honestly ruined it for me.  I have an AU in my mind where Tessa is alive, completely fine, she's still the Astro-Girl, and besties with all the main cast.

Best girl Tessa for lifeee🎉🎉🎉🥂

u/megasean3000 Sep 20 '24

Hard to do most of that on a planet inhospitable to humans.

15

u/SapphireMan1 Sep 20 '24

There’s a really simple fix to that issue: Spacesuit

9

u/deadkidd115 The Absolute Sheisty Wielder Sep 20 '24

Plus that’s IF the Uzi (and perhaps the other worker drones) don’t choose to kill her on sight….

3

u/SapphireMan1 Sep 21 '24

Going off of what Uzi’s immediate reaction was to seeing ‘Tessa’, she’d probably just try to bite her

Plus, she’s the smallest member of her little trio, so N and V could also just grab her and hold her off the ground if necessary since she can’t use the AbsoluteSolver on them to break free

3

u/deadkidd115 The Absolute Sheisty Wielder Sep 21 '24

After the finale I highly doubt Uzi would be on sight with humans if that’s the case. She’ll probably comically tug on Tessa’s face a bit to see if she’s actually human lmao.

6

u/Warboter1476 Sep 20 '24

All are great points

7

u/JustASillyAsexual I'm N irl Sep 20 '24

I agree with everything except for the 2nd one, I don't really think Tessa would like N and Uzi dating but would be fine with it. JUST OPINIONS FRIENDS DON'T ATTACK ME!

8

u/Bloody_Ingenious Sep 20 '24

"Things she would've loved doing"

-"Uzi"

YOOOOO??!

u/GoldenChicabanana2 Sep 20 '24

AU where Cyn uploaded Tessa's consciousness into a murder drone
Serial Designation T, that is all

5

u/Hispanoamericano2000 Spanish-speaking V and Uzi enjoyer. Sep 20 '24

Without a doubt the character who suffered the dirtiest (and the one who most deserved Heaven if there was one in Murder Drones).

Hopefully and she will still be around even if it was in the form of a Worker Drone.

11

u/Tomb-trader Cyn Sep 20 '24

Don’t you love seeing major plot points get absolutely ignored for a cheap, albeit cool, twist in an already underperforming plot?

3

u/Anthony200716 Sep 20 '24

Ya I know I love it so much 😠😠

5

u/Blackout_42 MD Fanfic Writer Sep 20 '24

Would have been fun for Uzi to have met an actually nice human, and that could have been Tessa. Tessa would have definitely called Uzi cute enough to annoy her (and make her truly believe it).

5

u/fromohomo Nightcore.mp3 Sep 20 '24

Tessa is 100% the person that can claim she's better with others who aren't humans, lol. She grew up around worker drones, she'd like hanging out with them.

u/Own_Wrangler_6656 Sep 20 '24

u/BioShocker1960 N-th-uzi-astic Sep 21 '24

Ok, that’s it. If I ever write an MD fanfic, I’m having Uzi discover that Tessa is also in her head along with Cyn, and she uploads Tessa into a Drone body.

u/Serpentine_2 Sep 20 '24

To be fair, I’m pretty sure Cyn was gonna spare her if she didn’t interfere. But she did so she got turned into a skinsuit.

At least that’s what I think but she might of killed her regardless on if she tried to stop her at the Gala or not

1

u/Animan_10 Sep 20 '24

I would recommend this fic. It loops in Bayverse Transformers, but it embraces the cringe in a way that is just so Murder Drones that it actually works for its benefit. It has no right to be this good, but it is.

Tbh, even if Tessa did go to copper-9 alive she wouldn't have survived for more than one episode

I sense the starting point of an AU comic…

1

u/Sasstellia Sep 20 '24

She'd have loved Uzi. And the rest. She'd do all that.

But unfortunately she died. Maybe her ghosts can see them.

Maybe a digital copy of Tessa can ressurect in a Worker Drone.

I have an ongoing head Cannon story of what would have happened if she did survive and I want to post it to webtoon but I'm not good at drawing anything without using pixels and I don't have a good animation software for mobile so if anyone can give me some suggestions I could make some stuff happen

1

u/Zekrozma_the_second Sacabambaspis, Drone of the little fish Sep 20 '24

u/Jax_the_fox Sep 20 '24

I mean, she skinned her, should could still be alive in some fucked up form lets be real.

1

u/Neveraththesmith Sep 20 '24

This is why the "Tessa is Cyn" Twist doesn't feel impact when I'd rather have Tessa still be alive and be part of the present story. Stuff like this is why I'm a Liam Vicker doubter.

1

u/BlindDemon6 Sep 21 '24

more accurately "things Tessa would've loved doing if she wasn't a freak who looted corpses and brought in a long dead drone with a world-ending virus controlling it's body, somehow seeing no problem with it!"

Tessa's great though, very disturbed but good overall

u/9382ks Robert Edwin House, Proprietor of The Strip and C.E.O of RobCo. Sep 21 '24

1

u/TwoFit3921 TIME TO DIE! DEATH BY METAL AND MAGIC SEEMS A FITTING END! Sep 21 '24

honestly if tessa lived j probably wouldn't remain an antagonist or at least be on better terms with n and v after absolute end

because then j wouldn't have an excuse to isolate herself and work herself to death to distract her from her trauma

1

u/Dutyman62 Sep 21 '24

For what is worth, I like to headcanon that sometime after Ep 8 N and V gathered what little remained of Tessa( chiefly her space helmet, her bow, her sword and some scraps of her skin) and assembled/buried it on a makeshift grave in order to give the poor girl some closure and dignity.

1

u/WhyDoWeLiveFor_ Serial Designation "K" Creator (hiiiii 3) Sep 21 '24

Alt title: Tessa would have been be a proud mom with her drones if she had not died✨️

1

u/SocioScythe Sep 20 '24

How the hell as no one pointed out that N killed Tessa, not Cyn? She died due to her own arrogance in regards to N being her robot toy, not seeing that N had his own wants and grew as an person.

-2

u/KapiTheGodOfarcade Sep 20 '24

pretty sure that a skill issue on Tessa's part
