When the new kids are younger, Uzi would often "join in" on their punishments to show them they're not that bad, and would "act out" the same way and get in trouble too in front of them to show that it's the actions they were doing that got them in trouble, not just something being done for the hell of it.

Seeing a grown ass woman pouting in timeout with toddlers is probably odd as fuck, but it does help the kids learn.

i like believing nori gets super broody after having tomahawk , if khan and uzi don’t get in her nest w/ tomahawk in .2 seconds she gets very huffy and maybe a little stressed out

Are you in my head lmao???

Yes Nori gets VERY broody, pretty much every time with all the new kiddos. With Tomahawk she's dragging Khan and Uzi into her nest with herself and Tomahawk and none of them are allowed to leave for hours sometimes. It's a really good thing Uzi lives there because Nori would've broken into a DD den to grab her.

With Scope she was almost not as broody, but unfortunately Scope's whole situation before finding out she needs a majority of oil made it flare up pretty often, and Uzi was basically sleeping on the couch there anyway because of everything going on. If it wasn't Nori getting broody it was Uzi actually.

Then with Tracer she was still stressed as all hell, because Scope had nearly died before they'd figured things out and Tracer isn't a normal Worker and they can tell pretty quickly on. So they're broody once more until Tracer's a lot more stable. The first kid sibling Uzi has where she's not practically living with her parents the whole time for, but only just lmao

So, Tomahawk Doorman. Named after the melee weapon, or a Tomahawk missile? (In-universe i mean)

Tomahawk is named after the melee weapon!

In-universe, it's because Khan suggested it as a compromise! Khan and Nori were arguing over which gun name would be next, and they genuinely couldn't decide. They passed around a few other long range weaponry names as well, Spear being a potential option here too, which got them onto the idea of melee weapons to start with.

Tomahawk was agreed upon by them both because they both fully agreed the name and weapon was cool.

But in reality, it's mostly because I've seen it overlooked quite often as an actual choice of weaponry, mostly obligated to exclusively a camping tool despite it's usefulness, and I've only ever seen it be mocked when used for combat. Fitting with how the colony sees him, and how he presents himself. He's only really got the tracking code of a Disassembly Drone and is Solver-Free, but he's far from actually being harmless. He's stealthy, silent, sharp, and VERY deadly should he choose to be. And his years of playing sports and wrestling with DDs and Solver Hosts for basically his whole life has him overpowering pretty much any Worker Drone.

He only uses these in times of peace to stop anyone from bullying his kid siblings, but if he was put into a real fight, he'd certainly be a damn good fighter.

While it's on my mind: My Khori fankids and how they react to a laser pointer

Tomahawk wouldn't actually chase anything unless he chose to, but he would watch it like a hawk the entire time as his tracking code would demand it.

Scope chases it near instantly. She forgets everything and will slam into everything in her way and skid across the floor. You can't stop her.

Tracer is the only one completely unaffected. He does not care. He doesn't get why the rest of his siblings do care. When he sees Scope and Tomahawk fighting over the red dot he's baffled, but when he sees Uzi, N, V, and Nori do the same he's FLABBERGASTED.

Uzi, N, V, and Nori of course freaking love to chase the laser pointer around. N and V can't help but instantly chase it, Nori can hold off for a bit before chasing it around too, Uzi's the only real one with enough self restraint to stalk the mysterious red dot for a long time before pouncing. Which does distract her but lets her deal with it in public a lot better than the others.

Uzi's reactions to holding her baby siblings for the first time (plus extra bits :3)

With Tomahawk, she's terrified. Of messing up, of her parents messing up, of her parents replacing her with him, of needing to be the one to step up and raise him, of the possibility history will repeat itself, that she'll be the one who needs kicked out of their lives, that she'll hurt him, that something will go so wrong that the family she finally got back won't survive. She has a few panic attacks she's not proud of about it. But the second she's actually holding her baby brother, she's just happy. She can't imagine a world where she lets anyone or anything hurt him. Actually almost to her detriment, as she's terrified that by just holding him she'll ruin him, destroy his life before it's even begun. She's an emotional wreck, but so happy. She cries freely in front of everyone when she holds him.

She ends up reading a LOT of parenting books, and tries to look up everything she can on being a sibling. She doesn't want to ask N about his experience in being a big brother, because of how Cyn ended up, but he's remorsefully happy to explain some of the things they used to do together before.... before.

With Scope, she's ALSO a nervous wreck. Scope's diet issue not being resolved until she's in an upgraded body leaves her pretty fragile even for a pillbaby, and it's even more terrifying to Uzi. When she held Scope during that very brief period in time, she was so fiercely protective and gentle it messed with her head a bit. She didn't quite understand what was happening to herself and was terrified she'd hurt Scope somehow like that, and the fact Scope was at risk of "starving" constantly meant that she was only getting weaker by the day. She mostly hung out with Tomahawk, made sure he was okay during that time because she was so worried that something horrible would happen to Scope. She tried to not get attached, trying so hard to spare herself the pain of losing her little sister, but it failed so badly she ended up needing to be limited on how often she could watch over her.

The day Nori ends up finding out what the issue was, and giving her a full oil diet, Uzi's so elated she can't stop herself from staying nearby both of her siblings, hugging them, holding them both, and just hovering nearby. She needs a bit before she can stomach leaving their side, but it's with the giddiest feeling in the world that everything will be okay.

With Tracer, she's wary, but not nearly as bad as before. They know pretty much right away what to expect, and Uzi's among the first to hold [him]. She's ecstatic, happy as can be. 8 years may have passed, but she still cries holding [him] the first time.

Tracer also figures out very early on he's trans, even before going to school for the first time. And it's Uzi he comes to about it first. To which she's very supportive, reassuring him she's not going to abandon her baby brother, and that nobody else would mind either. She also helps him learn what transgender is, because Tracer wouldn't know the term itself yet. And she's there when he comes out to everyone else :)

Baby Tomahawk: YAYA!! Surprise for Mom Surprise for mom!!!

nori curled up with baby tomahawk. they eepy.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa that's so fucking cute

Nori would be a VERY overprotective mom while Tomahawk is a pillbaby, that's likely the only stage she got to see Uzi at. She'd probably stay around him the most and need to have an intervention to let Tomahawk breathe before it's any serious issue. But Tomahawk is considered a momma's boy, and he loves his mom so much. As a baby, some days he just can't go to sleep if she's not around or holding him.

Often she'll come around on breaks and make sure he naps or goes to sleep, but sometimes she'll be eepy too and will just curl up with him on the couch or in a chair and fall asleep too.

Honestly I think they'd be close enough that they'd probably just take naps together even when he's older.
