Murder Drones Khan - Blog Posts

No, cuz like-

Khan and N NEED to be a duo-

They give off chaotic father in-law and son in-law energy to me istg-

This isn’t my original idea btw the original (if I’m not mistaken, it is the original bc I couldn’t find anything else similar to the idea anywhere else) came from @/khoriguy on twitter

top 10 murder drones mysteries, number 1

what the hell is nori grabbing

sure we can joke she's grabbing khan's ass but drones are built like soda cans, they don't have any back. we don't see anything under khan so she isn't touching anything there, but her hand is fully hidden behind khan so whatever she's doing is on his back.

maybe drones (or khan specifically) are weirdly sensitive near their lower backs and nori's taking advantage of that to tease the hell out of khan and also maybe traumatize yeva at the same time, who knows.

uhhh.... Khan and Keybug interaction idk- had the idea in the back of my head for quite a while.

also, i love how the Keybug survived till the end and was shown in the credits :3

it's 1 am btw i am going to sleep now- 💀

Yo chat, genuine question for a sec;

Am I doing the second one?

If am doing something wrong with Khan’s characterization by putting so much angst on him PLZ TELL ME, I FUCKING HATE WRITING CHARACTERS INCORRECTLY-

(it is seriously not my intention to make him seem like a whiny bitch, I just tend to highlight the angst more than the fluff)

And I know that OP was most likely not talking about me, this post just rised the question for me.

there are two hells personally made for me and it is mischaracterizing khan by making him a villain and mischaracterizing khan by making him a weak baby and both of them do not allow me to make out with khan

oh, you thought i was done with the angst? W R O N G ‼️‼️‼️ /silly /lh

uhh, anyway- Khan lookin sad and trying to self-soothe cause shore /silly

more Khori fluff lessgooo

kinda messily sketched but eh, I’m not aiming for perfection

Hehe just wanna say I love your pfp! I’m such a simp for Khan xD (and Thad and N but Khan is my number one for sure :3)

When I was thinking of a new pfp, I was like-

“ykw?? Imma use one of my favorite Khan screenshots.”

Which is this one lol;

Also thank you!! Hehe 😈💞💞💞‼️‼️ /gen

This is like- EXACTLY how I see Khan’s character.

This is the number one thing that I’m planning on touching on in my post-canon continuation for his character arc.

Rebloggin this even tho I already commented on this lol-

Soooo.... Khan headcanon/thingy here

Since everything dangerous is over on copper nine, no dissesembly drones, no planet eating god, no abusive asshole humans, no constant stress of a whole colony on his shoulders, his wife comes back from the fucking DEAD, his daughter is alive/ok(physically) after fighting literal god

Now that he can relax, do you think that, all of the stress & grief of just, everything, hits him all at once?

How would everyone else react to this, he already could barely hold himself together and everyone could see it, now he's not hiding it at all. He's going through a grieving process of someone who was a live the whole time he thought she was dead

All of the PTSD + anxiety + etc piles on to him at once and he just, can't function

Just a thought I wanted to get out there lol

finally posting the Khori fluff that i promised :3

pretty sure i have like- one or two more drawings but i haven't taken a picture of them yet so uhhhh.... ya'll are only getting some crumbs for now 🤠

+ some bonus Khan doodles under the cut

WHO IS THIS DIVA 💅💅💅 /j /silly

he's so cute- /silly

Sadge.

[ Original sketch under the cut. ]

🤠

Do ya’ll (Khan lovers specifically 😈) ever wonder if Khan sometimes has cat-like behaviors?

Uzi: I got detention again today.

Khan: What did you do this time?

Uzi: The teacher pointed a ruler at me and said “There’s an idiot at the end of this ruler.”

Uzi: So I asked him which end.

Nori, from the other room: THAT’S MY GIRL!!!!

Don’t mind me just gonna cutely put Khori angst here- /silly

(That is not Uzi btw, you weirdos 💀💀💀)

😈

( Full page under the cut )

Yes, I did completely forgor to add “#3” to the third panel- 💀

Random explanation time for my (one of many- 💀) self-indulgent design choices (/lh) yipeeee

I feel like the reason why Khan and Nori would be the only married drones to have an actual wedding band (and of course because that is a human tradition) is cause Nori (obviously) has been around humans for most of her life, and I like to think that (since she is a HUGE nerdy dork) she would definitely try to "research" stuff about them and find out about "cool stuff" (also she definitely would have gotten hyperfixated on the topic and started info dumping about humans to Khan lol-)

Basically what I'm trying to say here is that when Nori found out about the common human tradition of a married couple both wearing a ring, she wanted to do that kinda thing with Khan. And Khan just rolled with it because he loves her so much and would do anything to make her smile. (He loves his kooky wife <33)

Y’know what? Fuck it, Khan angst (+ Khori angst) info dump.

(Long ahh rambling under the cut 💀 )

Obviously when N and Uzi were confirmed to be in a relationship with one another, Nori was not happy about the idea of- y’know- her daughter dating the thing that “killed” her, (/lh) but honestly, I feel like the “grudge” that Nori held (at least how I interpret it as) wasn’t much against the fact that N’s species was literally the thing that presumably killed her, but more like a “mom going into protective mode because her daughter is dating someone who she is suspicious of because of worrying that this person is not a good influence on her kid” kinda thing.

I’d like to think, in post-canon logic, that Nori would have at some point came around because she realized how much of a positive impact N has made on Uzi’s life. How much N genuinely cares for and loves Uzi—that he is good for her.

Nori would also have eventually came around and forgave both N and V. Of course she’ll never forgive their species as a whole, but Nori understands that it wasn’t their choice— N and V are still their own people behind all the murder.

This is something Nori has at this point (at least I would hope to believe so) has long processed fully and now is at peace with. She has moved on from her past— because if she wasn’t, for example, her main focus might wouldn’t have been find the patch to save Uzi, it would have probably been destroy all the murder drones to take revenge. And plus, it has been implied already that the events of her getting attacked has an extremely long time gap between the time when the pov of Uzi in the show actually starts. She has long moved on from all of it. She’s living in the present.

So basically TL;DR,

Nori has long moved on from the events in her past. She has learned to accept what happened and moved on long ago. It’s in the past now. She can’t stay stuck in it forever.

So here is where the Khan (+ Khori angst) comes in. 😈😈😈

Like I have just stated, Nori has moved on.

But Khan… still has not.

Khan definitely has never gotten the chance to process everything that has happened in the past— he is still holding that grudge because of all the pent up rage, sadness, and guilt that he has never learned to properly process. Because of his poor coping mechanisms/skills, he bottles up— he would try everything he can to make sure no one would ever see this kind of weakness in him. Ever. He just can’t allow that. Not right now…

So I feel like the conflict between these two situations could lead up to some kind of… important plot-point!

Nori tries to help Khan move on from his past, Khan learns how to process his emotions better, and at the same time, they both develop as people and grow stronger in their relationship with one another!

Uhhh, anyway- insane yap over lmfao-

HE'S WHIPPED

🤠

My honest reaction to discovering that someone wrote a MD fic with a queerphobic Khan:

Ik, very random and out of context, but I over heard from @electronix-arts about it. 💀

Drew this a couple nights ago.

What’s with me drawing shit at like… ten to twelve AM when I need to be asleep-? 💀 /rh /lh

Almost Valentine’s Day btw… I definitely need to do something with Nuzi and/or Khori for that.

Uhhh, anyway- KHORI. ‼️‼️ /silly

CHAT- I’M CRASHING OUT RIGHT NOW- /vpos

I found this song a while ago by it just randomly auto playing, and I listened to a little bit of it and I started tweaking cause IT SOUNDED SO KHAN CODED-

Just now, I was able to listen to it fully and I think found a new favorite Citizen Soldier song now- /silly

Uhhh.. anyway, expect angst- 💀 /hj /silly

Random info about Khan that I’m implementing onto his character in my Murder Drones continuation/sequel. Also sprinkled some Khori in here. >:3

Basically an info dump about a character that i have projected onto a lot. 💀

Just as a bonus so ppl can at the same time learn more about me as well, certain attributes that apply to myself are marked with this star! —> ☆

ANYWAY- here’s the actual info lol:

He’s an extremely anxious person.

Has panic attacks occasionally due to his PTSD :( It doesn’t help that the episodes happen more frequently than before.

He barely gets any sleep; has really bad dark-circles as a result.

Very skittish; the type of guy to scream like a girl when he’s startled. Also very clumsy.

Horrible at hiding stuff; especially his emotions. Thinks he’s doing a good job at it, but he can’t fool anyone; especially Nori.

He’s a nervous wreck; he has very low self esteem and barely has any self confidence. Has insecure body language most of the time— hands up close to his chest, always looking down, etc.

Very sensitive and highly sympathetic. ☆

Tries to act like the tough-guy, but secretly is a big softy.

Thinks that showing any other emotion than happiness isn’t okay. As a result, he bottles up and represses his true feelings/emotions a lot. Nori always tells him that it’s okay to not be okay.

Does a lot of self-soothing fidgets; arm, wrist, and hand rubbing. Crosses his arms a lot when insecure, and avoids eye contact when he’s upset.

Chews on or just holds his fingers (mostly just his pointer finger) in his mouth when he’s stressed or in deep thought. ☆

He’s autistic. >:3

Does hand/wrist flaps, is sensitive to loud sounds, and gets overstimulated very easily. ☆

Is iffy with touch or any kind of physical contact; feels uncomfortable when given direct affection; especially without permission. ☆

When he’s upset, he usually doesn’t want to be touched. It fully depends on the situation and his current mood; he needs consent for physical contact. ☆

Nori always asks him if it’s okay to touch his shoulder and/or back, or if she’s allowed to give him a hug. Nori wants to make sure that he feels safe, but also wants him to feel comfortable.

Extremely touch starved; is horrible at hiding it.

Blushes very easily. Not used to compliments; or any kind of praise for that matter. He gets flustered when Nori is physically close to him; mostly an effect from his touch starvation.

He completely melts in Nori’s embrace. He sometimes purrs when he’s really happy and content in Nori’s arms. He’s like a giant cat (HEHE, PURRING DRONES HEADCANON GO BRR 😈 ✨💅)

He is the little spoon and Nori is the big spoon.

He has multiple small scars across his body. Mostly on his back, torso, chest, and arms. Has small scratches on his hands and legs, but they’re not easily noticeable.

Very insecure about his scars. He thinks they’re an eyesore, but Nori reminds him that scars can be beautiful.

Has broken humor. He laughs at bad jokes and is extremely outdated with current humor.

Very sassy. Uzi gets her stubbornness and smart-ass attitude from him.

Crosses his legs when he sits. ☆

He doesn’t like to swear and prefers not to. He pretty much only swears when provoked first. And when he does swear, it’s on very rare occasions when he’s furiously angry.

He in general is a very chill guy. He is terrifying when he’s angry. When he’s mad, you just know that something really pissed him off. He doesn’t get ticked off for no reason.

When he’s upset, it’s common for him to shut down; he sometimes goes mute as well. Nori tries to communicate with him using her visor. (Like that one scene in Ep 6 where N and Uzi were talking to each other with text popping up on their visors).

Knows SL! (ASL specifically). Sign generally makes it easier and more comfortable for him to communicate (in certain cases where he doesn’t want to use verbal communication). Nori also knows SL! She learned it especially for him. :3

Is uncomfortable with eye contact in general. He only really makes eye contact when it’s necessary for certain social interactions. ☆

I think that’s it?? Idk- I’ll probably add more later if I remember anything else that I could have forgotten.

Uhh- anyway- yap over 💀

This has been sitting in my drafts for a while- 💀😭

Edit—(2/7/25): I added three more things at the bottom of the list. >:3

Edit—(2/16/25): I once again added three more things at the bottom of the list. >:]

Almost forgor to post this Khan doodle.

He’s so “💅✨” coded I had to. 💀😭 /silly

:Author’s Note:

A little something that I have been hesitant and a little shy to share, but this is a fic that I wrote a few months ago at this point, and since the Khori angst comic that I teased a few weeks ago is taking longer than I thought, I decided to treat ya’ll Khori enjoyers with a little something while waiting for the finished comic.

I wanted to write a fic like this in the first place because we needed a Khan breakdown in the show (in my opinion at least), and I basically said, “Fine. I’ll do it myself~! >:3”

(This is more of a self indulgent character study if anything lol)

By the way, a little disclaimer; if the formatting, wording, or pacing seems a little off in some spots, that’s because I was VERY rusty at the time of writing this. I was just starting to get back into the rhythm of writing fics properly after not writing anything for a REALLY long time.

I hope y’all enjoy reading this fic as much as I loved writing it!!

ENJOY!!! >:]]

Breaking Point

A Khori (Khan x Nori) one shot

This story is intended to take place sometime after Episode 8 (post-canon). The Doorman’s are finally living together as a family again, and Nori has a new body now! :DD

TRIGGER/CRINGE WARNING : emotional breakdown, angst, hurt/comfort, implied self hatred, self blame, implied low self esteem, implied lack of healthy coping mechanisms/skills, repression of emotions, bottling up emotions

- - -

Nori and Uzi are having a mother-daughter conversation and Khan is observing the interaction from afar.

Khan is analyzing Nori and Uzi’s expressions— Nori is smiling wider than he’s ever seen, and Uzi is genuinely laughing. He hasn’t seen Uzi laugh like that since… forever.

Khan tries to ignore the scene, but he can’t seem to look away. He slowly walked out of the room.

Nori was happily giggling until she sensed that something in the room was off.

Nori turned her head to look at the spot where Khan was previously standing— he wasn’t there anymore. Nori’s brows furrowed.

Uzi noticed that Nori was partially turned away.

“…What’s wrong, mom?” Uzi asks.

Nori snaps out of blankly staring into nothing and realizes Uzi was talking to her.

“Oh! Uh, N-Nothing. I um…” Nori replies with a reassuring smile on her face.

She glances at the doorway to the other room— which was a very small living area. She turns back to Uzi.

“I’ll be.. right back…” Nori says.

Uzi is confused, but she doesn’t want to question it any further.

“Uh… okay.” She says.

Uzi is of course clueless as to what exactly is the problem, but she does know that Nori doesn’t stop everything like that for no reason. Whatever is going on, it can’t be something good.

Nori pops in on the side of the doorway. She sees Khan sitting quietly on one side of the couch in the small room sitting with his arms crossed— he looked distraught.

“Hey.” Nori calls.

Khan looks up.

“What’s wrong?” Nori asks.

Khan looks back down.

“It’s nothing.” He says.

Nori lifts an unamused eyebrow.

“So you’re totally fine when you suspiciously just left the room silently and now you’re sitting here in the opposite room lookin’ sad?” She asks.

Khan doesn’t respond and instead nervously glances up at Nori but then immediately looks away.

Nori is not buying it.

“Pff. Yeah, right.”

She walks over to sit next to Khan.

“Alright, what’s going on with you?”

Khan sighs before he responds.

“Why did you come back?”

Nori raises a brow.

“Because I care about you and Uzi? Frickn’ duh!”

Nori thought that her teasing would faze Khan at least slightly, but he still stayed silent. He turned further away. Khan was not in the mood for jokes.

Nori switches to a more serious tone.

“I realized that Uzi still needs me. And it was selfish of me to not come back until now.”

She scooched closer to Khan.

“Uzi still loves me, and I still love her.”

Nori pauses. Her expression softens.

“I came back because…”

She reached to gently hold Khan’s hand.

“I still love you.”

Khan was looking up at Nori but he quickly looked back down. He pulled his hand away.

“You shouldn’t..” Khan said.

Nori’s brows furrowed.

“Why..?”

She asked with a frown.

Khan tensed up.

“Because I’m a fraud…”

His voice was almost a whisper. He could barely be heard.

“What did you say-?”

Nori asked, but she was abruptly cut off.

“I SAID I’M A FRAUD!” Khan blurted out.

Nori flinched at Khan’s sudden outburst.

“Do you not understand?! I’m a horrible person!

I literally left you and Uzi for dead in some way shape or form. And do you know what my excuse was?! I blamed it on the Murder Drones!

Can’t you see?! I only care about myself! I blame all of my problems on everything but myself!

…I never deserved Uzi. I never deserved you. …I made you and Uzi’s lives a living hell. All I’ve done for both of you is make your lives unnecessarily harder.

All I am is a pathetic coward who would rather run away from their problems instead of solving them.”

Khan paused for a short moment.

“…When I saw you two laughing together, and.. being genuinely happy, it… made me see that… I can’t make Uzi happy even if I try.

I should have been the one in your place, Nori. You and Uzi would have been better off without me. …I’m sorry.”

Khan went silent again like nothing happened.

“Khan…”

Nori said.

“I know that you’ve made mistakes. But…”

She reached to hold Khan’s hand.

“That doesn’t make up who you are.

We have all done something stupid in our lives at least once.”

She humorously snorted.

“I know I have. Don’t beat yourself up about it. You set way too big of standards for yourself.

You tend to bite off more than you can chew. Trust me, I’ve seen you do that many times before.

Cut yourself some slack. I think you’ve been through enough emotional burnout for one whole week.

The whole point I'm trying to make is that..”

Nori paused for a moment. She held Khan’s hand tightly around her palms.

“You don’t need to be perfect for me to love you.”

Khan was finally fazed.

Nori continued.

“You have good intentions. You have shown me things in myself that I would have never seen if you did not come into my life. And I am incredibly grateful for that.”

Nori lowered her voice to make it sound as comforting as possible.

“You are an amazing person, Khan. And I want you to know that.”

Khan was shaken by Nori’s words.

“I..”

Nori smiled as tears formed in her eyes.

Khan’s entire body began to tremble and he panted heavily. He clutched onto his chest, and pulled his other hand away.

Khan held the side of his head. A warning symbol flashed on his visor in the place of his left eye that said, “REPRESSED EMOTIONS UNSTABLE”. His frantic panting turned into whimpering. He tilted his head down and sobbed.

Nori’s eyes hollowed for a few moments. She fully turned herself towards Khan and immediately pulled him close to her.

Khan sobbed in Nori’s arms as she gently rubbed his back.

Khan hasn’t cried like this in a very long time. He has been hiding his true emotions for way too long at this point. It was about time he broke down.

Both stayed in each other’s arms for a while. Khan eventually slowed down his sobs. He leaned against Nori’s chest, tears still streaming down his visor.

Khan blinked slowly. He looked, and felt, completely defeated. He felt like he didn’t have any energy left to cry anymore. He was exhausted— physically and emotionally.

Nori had her hand gently resting on top of his head.

“Are you okay now?” Nori asked.

“I…”

Khan paused.

“No… I-I’m not…” His voice wavered.

Khan sat up and wiped the tears from his visor. He crossed his arms against his midriff. His eyes slowly drifted away from Nori’s gaze, and he turned his head away.

“Hey.”

Nori gently turned Khan’s head towards her.

“You matter. Never forget that.”

Khan sniffed. He finally cracked a small smile.

Nori smiled back. She fully embraced Khan. He actually hugged Nori back this time. Both stayed in each other's arms.

“Nori…?” Khan mumbled.

“Yeah?” Nori replied softly.

Khan lifted his head to look into Nori’s eyes.

“Thank you.”

Nori smiled. “You’re welcome.”

She gently grabbed either side of Khan’s face and gave him a small kiss.

Khan flinched as he felt his core whir in surprise. He was blushing so hard he thought he was going to overheat.

Nori didn’t say anything else. She just smiled.

Khan finally snapped out of his flustered trance and leaned back into Nori’s arms.

Both held each other close.

Fin~

:Authors Note #2:

If you have made it to this point,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING!! :DDD

By the way, it wasn’t mentioned in the story, but after Nori paused the conversation, Uzi decided to just end the convo there and go her separate way lol.

I was just too lazy to describe anything further without accidentally making the sequence too long or making the pacing seem stiff and awkward lmao-

Much love to y’all! <3

Khan Episode 8 Screenshot redraw >:333

nothing much to say here 🤠

Reminiscing.
