Wait hold on...
I watched the episode and...is this the only Genuine smile she has?
The only other times are when she is A: In denial or B: going insane.
and it's at...Ragatha.
Actually i'm wrong
If you look very closely immediately before this scene she smiles again.
At Ragatha
I'M SUPER WRONG, she actually smiles a lot!
AT RAGATHA
Is...is buttonblossom going to be canon?
IS BUTTONBLOSSOM GOING TO BE CANON?!
(it probably isn't, but hey! I can dream.)
WHY IS THIS THE THING YOU GIVE 1000 LIKES?!?!?!!??
The abstraction probability list.
(for the sake of the list i'm going to assume "the breaking point" can be more than JUST going insane)
Who I think COULD abstract:
#1 Pomni: She seems to be the only character going actually insane.
#2 Gangle: She has been bullied and literally broken for who knows how long, what if she just...gives up? Gives up on her happiness, gives up on her masks, gives up on life? how far can you push someone before they...break?
#3 Ragatha: She is the one to bring up "the breaking point" and seemed terrified of it, perhaps she fears the others abstracting OR she fears herself abstracting.
Who I think WON'T abstract:
#4 Kinger: Scared? Yes, lost a loved one? Yep, crazy? No, I think Kinger has gained an (albeit terrified) acceptance of the world he lives in. Also it's way to obvious.
#5 Zooble: They are apathy incarnate, they do not care what happens in anyway, shape, or form.
#6 Jax: He has absolutely reached acceptance, not just acceptance Jax LOVES it here!..Jax loves it here...a theory for another day.
We have seen the "double X" expression on a drone before.
This could be/mean one of 3 things.
Double X means death
A visual gag
A mistake on the animators part
I love the first one because that would mean
THIS MF is a WHOLE ASS ZOMBIE.
I like to imagine that Uzi doesn't snap out of knowing that N killed her mother; I think she's accepted the chance that he did, but rather because it's somehow revealed that Nori's just a horrible person.
Not only is that 200 times funnier, it feels more accurate to the show; obviously, the show titled Murder Drones is going to have a lot of murder.
One thing that is oddly repeated in this show, however, is that there are things worse than death. Think of becoming a DD or having the AS in general, being forced to kill just to survive; if you don't, you overheat, which I'm sure is a HELLISH feeling to get a person like N to kill.
What if Nori was SO horrible that she relished causing pain? That she would abandon things that she just saw as "less" than her?
After all, what's worse than just dying...
but being doomed to live in death?
