this is going to be a long one.
i have a super massive Google document that is filled with all of my Murder Drones headcanons i've adopted and came up with myself. as of right now, it's only thirteen pages, and contains several paragraphs about various topics. i will continue to work on this thing, as it is still a massive work in progress, and i only have a few characters written about -- i haven't even written about V yet, for example.
a side effect of this headcanon master document is that i've had to screw over my own search history for research purposes. there are so many things i've had to look up that would make no sense to look up otherwise. some are more reasonable than others, of course!
some actual things i've looked up for the document, and why i looked them up:
"petroleum and vodka interactions" - i had to know if vodka would have some kind of weird chemical reaction with drone oil. it has very little effect on gas engines, apparently.
"exoplanet naming system" - i knew that real exoplanets are either named some absolute nonsense, or some name followed by a few numbers. i figured that this same thing would apply to Copper-09, so i learned about how the naming worked, came up with an absolute bullshit old name, and explained it away in my document.
"implosion vs explosion" - this one is less about headcanons and more about my understanding. we all know that the planet's core explodes, causing a fallout of sorts on the planet. i initially called it an implosion in my document, but i did not want to be factually incorrect.
"petroleum and potassium hydroxide interactions" - sounds familiar, yes? this was for the same reason as the vodka one: to see if it has weird reactions. it's not recommended, but it doesn't do much (fyi for anyone confused: potassium hydroxide is usually in alkaline batteries).
"red titanium" - i feel that drone bodies are made with titanium, and i had to know if many colors of it existed for disassembly drone caution tape. a red coloring for the metal does, and it looks really pretty!
that's all for now, but if i ever search up any more stupid shit again, rest assured that i will confess a follow-up...
