Hello! Take this as a teaser for the @md-fanzine! This piece, along two other drawings of mine, as well as many other artists art will be included in it!
Please take a look at the zine once it releases <3 and be sure to support the other artists who participate in it!
This has been sitting in my WIPs since early April and I never ended up properly shading it so I might as well just post it like this
You ever just wake up covered in oil (& blood) after your last memory is your brother taking your punishment to protect you? Without remembering how the oil (& blood) got there? Yeah me too.
BLOOD VERSION UNDER CUT
I need to make a specific drawing, then I can focus on writing the main fic,,, idk if this will be in a flashback yet or will be in the Cyn, Tessa & Solver centric side fic. Sighs.
@electrozeistyking and I a little while ago talked about how GD!N would react to DAS!Cyn. They went on about in a reblog but basically he would be extremely happy bc DAS!Cyn is a separate entity to the Absolute Solver, therefore meaning she's not the one behind everything.
So at first they probably both would be extremely happy. DAS!Cyn in her own AU upon meeting N first is absolutely terrified that he might hate her after everything the AS made her do. So the fact GD!N would react very positively to her presence would be a huge a relief to her.
Now, the issue is that the "Dormant" in "Dormant" Absolute Solver is in quotations for a reason. It simply lost interest in her as a main host / had no need for her anymore. It still has admin rights over DAS!Cyn and she still has a Solver Form. Though she doesn't use it by choice bc of PTSD triggers (until possibly a specific point in Ep7 but I'm waiting for ep8 to decide).
So yeah I think that would make both GD!N and DAS!Cyn kinda anxious to put it lightly.
(More Art and stuff under cut because this crossover has been living RENT FREE IN MY HEAD)
Also fun fact
@electrozeistyking has mentioned and shown Beanie finding comfort in the sound of her fathers core.
Well funny story.
DAS!Cyn always was comforted by her brothers core back at the manor, when they first reuite at the start of Ep6 and she sees DAS!Uzi summon her Solver wings and tail, her instinct is pressing closer to DAS!Ns chest for comfort. Her memories of the Solver features are very very blurry, but she is triggered by seeing them regardless.
I thought It was cute the girls have that in common, so I decided to draw them and GD!N sleeping with the girls having their heads close to his core :3
OKAY FINALLY WE GET TO THE DOODLE PAGE
I didn't feel like fully making these so they're sketchy doodles :"
The first two are based on Zeisty saying GD!N would probably pick DAS!Cyn up and spin her around. Also you probably noticed between this doodle, the first drawing & the Tiny!N & DAS crossover post, but DAS!Cyn displays flowers on her visor to emote happiness!
The 3rd and 4th are just random interactions between the kiddos lol. I feel like Beanie probably would be happy to have another Auntie, not to mention one closer to her age so they can do silly kid stuff together. DAS!Cyn... oh boy
She would feel a whole range of emotions; grief about missing so much of her brothers life (like he has a kid ffs), guilt and self blame after finding out what happened to Uzi (she blames herself for everything the AS caused, even tho she never agreed to it) which might end up in a "slight" breakdown, anger at the AS for causing GD!N that kind of pain and eventually once she processed all those emotions she probably would be excited to get to know Beanie. Like!! Imagine finding out you have a little Niece!!
She probably would struggle to easily keep up with Beanie bc she still has motor issues like in canonverse so she's a little slower, so it'd be mostly her trying not to fall over her own feet whilst being dragged around by an excited toddler who probably even with child lock is stronger than her lmao.
Also I drew DAS!Cyn in an alternate outfit bc I wanted to actually kinda show the oil reserve canister,,,
Ok wanting to respond to the hashtags specifically bc :)) yay
Also ig this is some DAS lore fact drops lol
Yeah, DAS!Cyn kinda didn't take it well either when she first realized the AS technically can still take over if it really wanted to after she transferred bodies in an attempt to escape. Imagine getting your core nearly crushed in an attempt to flee from robo satan just to find out entity STILL can use you for their bidding. Like!!! Damn that's not fair the kid nearly fucking died trying to break free!!!
DAS!Cyn definitely would want to spare Beanie the horrors too. DAS!Cyn herself is mentally like 7-10/11 at best 6-9 at worst -- despite kids usually just saying whatever comes to mind, she repressed most AS related stuff for a reason, she definitely wouldn't share what she knows with her newfound niece
I feel things would be either super great and happy or super traumatizing depending on when in the timeline we throw DAS!Cyn at them. If she's there during ep 6-7? Oh boy. Oh no. DAS!Cyn & DAS!N have an exchange during Ep7 that would not go over so well if it was GD!N in DAS!Ns place, because it would be awfully similar to GD!Uzis death -- she doesn't die, because DAS!N can't get himself to shoot with her being so close to the AS, despite her literally shouting at him to do it and that she won't be angry, that'll be fine. -- yeah I don't think GD!N would handle that well 😭 Zeisty feel free to get the angst train rolling if you wanna add your two cents on how that'd go over -- any point before that? Probably fine. Post S1? I'd imagine also fine depending on what Ep8 throws at us (except like... look at ideas list for more info*)
I'll assume that'd be Beanie reacting to seeing DAS!Cyn having the Solver tail and possibly the glitching Solver symbol in her visor. Yeah she definitely would try to play it off and go try and hide somewhere until she can get it under control again. High stress or negative emotions causes her Solver to act up (unrelated to the AS, just her own Solver form without the entity controlling anything!!) So what I said above to her reaction to the news of GD!Uzi being dead? And possibly finding out the reason why? Yeah that might trigger her tail and wings to pop out and her to basically be reduced to a hyperventilating ball on the floor because of proceeding to blame herself for all of GD!Ns suffering due to thinking the AS actions & it being a danger are her fault
Other things I kinda wanted to doodle but didn't for now, might do at a later point;
Cyn still has a Solver Core, which is the same as a DD core (except smaller lol). So I was playing with the idea of Beanie noticing that her core sounds different from GD!Ns due to hers being severely damaged and actively leaking after the AS attempted to crush it during the body transfer. DAS!Cyn then trying to play it off
Some kind of acknowledgement of the Oil reserve canister on DAS!Cyns back, it was made by Tessa before the AS did the medurder and stuff. It's supposed to help keep the Solver in check by preventing overheating, hence why its directly connected to her chest where her core is
There was something else but it slipped my mind
Smth I'm not gonna say publicly for now until Zeisty posts something about it and/or eventually posts the chapters bc I don't want to spoil esp not bc it isn't my place to :" (if you're curious, Zeisty, lmk I can tell you in VC or DMs lol) but it partly would possibly be related to the 1st idea listed
* I have an idea for what happens to Cyns original body (the one the AS uses & that wears Tessa) post Ep8 IF Ep8 let's me do it that is. I think it could be fun to crossover that idea bc of GD!Ns ghost sight.... tho it definitely also would be fucking stressful and trauma inducing bc Solver stuff sooo yeah rip (again, if you want I could elaborate in vc or DMs on this bc I want to first wait and see what the season finale brings before I do anything "official" with this)
GD!N reacting to the information that DAS!Cyn canonly shot "Tessas" gun at the AS (well technically at its tentacles. Point being that kid fired a gun/knows how to use one) -- which again could be very interesting if we were to toss them into the same Ep7 bc that's when she does it
Possibly GD!N finding out ab the scars/cracks surrounding DAS!Cyns core bc,,, yeah
Anyways uuuhh heightbsheet bc I'm 99% sure I drew stuff inaccurate
These were actually so fun to draw and think & talk about. I'll post the GD x IC crossover once I'm done with that (yes, yes there is more than what you already saw Zeisty. Not much more but more nonetheless)
Silly robot siblings except their height ratio is reversed lol.
Bonus bc I thought it'd be funny to put DAS!N next to them for scale
DAS!Cyn having two brothers sounds like a recipe for chaos lmao
Height conparision calculations or whatever under cut lol
Reference for Tiny N height is obviously from @electrozeistyking 💕
I did some height comparison stuff between @electrozeistyking Tiny!N and my DAS!Cyn, mainly bc the way that the Dormant Absolute Solver AU was born via this anon ask I sent Zeisty whilst sleep deprived when I later read the response to it & read it over again.
They switch scale if we use DAS!N for comparison for what DAS!Cyn usually looks like next to N. She's half his height.
Tiny!N would be about half of Das!Cyn's height. -- I don't know if this makes Tiny!N taller than I thought or Das!Cyn shorter than I thought (I suck at actually envisioning heights hence the chart for DAS main cast) but it makes me giggle.
"Dormant" absolute Solver AU shenanigans oop... this would take place during episode 7. (more info under cut)
Sneaks in a Varian Tangled Reference bc I live my son and this is inspired by him.
Anyways.
Cyn ends up on the same side of the rockslide as Uzi. Uzi is uncertain about her after losing any trust she might have had in Tessa and now questioning N too. She tells Cyn to stay distant.
So Cyn follows at a distance. As they explore, Cyn gets anxious and starts self soothing using a method N taught her years ago. Uzi takes note of that, recognizing the quote from N. After the song in her head played on repeat for a few times she turns around to check on Cyn, who is still repeating the quote. Cyn pretends to be okay, but it's clear her anxiety is making her struggle to keep herself together and the Solver symbol begins glitching on her visor.
After seeing @marcygoo (hope it's ok to tag you as the idea inspo :3) draw Cyn (workers in general, but back then I just saw a few Cyn posts!) with charger plug tails I initially had some ideas for the concept. I doodled DAS!Cyn with it to try and figure out how I'd like it to look.
I started brainstorming some headcanons for the idea at the time:
Idk if the person in the 3rd picture who replied is comfortable with me tagging them so I censored their name to be sure 👍
Since then I've come to the following idea, based on the fact that all manor drones likely had defects considering Tessa got them off the dump;
Many probably had technical problems, including issues charging in sleep mode or having a low battery life
Cyn is one who had those issues, and had a charger already from her previous owners
N also had the issue, but originally had solar panels instead, the AS later changed that when starting its experiments
The charger can be anywhere on the body really, doesn't need to be in the position of a tail
Cyns charger was at the position of a Tail, Ns is between his shoulders right below his neck (its inside a compartment if not in use for N! Cyn sometimes has it tucked in but sometimes let's it just hang out - usually when around Tessas parents is tucked in to look more proper)
I'm debating on whether or not to give V battery issues too, if I do, they might present differently from the siblings (habit of eating a lot of batteries to try and stay charged maybe?)
Ig you could count this as a type of disability for Drones!
The type of recharging (solar panels, cord etc) usually was determined by the type of work the Drone was originally intended to do when first built & the defect was discovered
I barely remember last night but remember @electrozeistyking and I talking ab MD AUs, our kiddos and also N and Cyn PTSD.
I joked ab like actually making a proper crossover timeline but how that's a bad idea bc like.
"A yes, the person who makes N suffer and the person who makes Cyn suffer, combining their AUs/Ideas, what could possibly go wrong?"
That being said. I still have like,,, a ton of DAS x GD art based on things we said in vc or rbs on my to do list that I haven't gotten to bc of other WIPs
Some are more silly and others more :" yeah
Anyways hi Zeisty ily and I wanna talk more ab how our different AUs would theoretically interact with each other if they somehow did meet or how certain AU events would change - if that's ok with you ofc
