New to posting art on tumblr, but here is an accompaniment piece for “Night Walk”, Chapter 6 of my fanfic “The Comeback From The Fall.” Yee old NeonNova fanfic where DJ has to become a better person, but with my own spin on it.

I think tumblr keeps images higher quality than twitter does, so that’s why its here as well as there. I’m thinking about posting lore stuff here more because its way easier to keep organized.

Ok so there's debate on whether or not 1010 is sentient or not. And one big point of contention (at least for me) is the factory. When the 1010 units are destroyed, a new one just pops out of the factory. Many people theorize (me included) that the factory has a backup hub, so that when a body is destroyed, their consciousness or data or whatever gets uploaded back to the factory and put into a new body.

My argument for this being the case is that, just like its implied in the warbots, if an individual 1010 unit is around long enough, they'll start developing sentience. And if they have sentience, 1) it creates a moral obligation for Neon J to keep them alive (he didn't destroy the warbots who are shown to be possibly sentient, he kept them around, he has that morality) and 2) if they develop their own personality, it'll be bad publicity if that unit gets destroyed and then suddenly they act completely different. So assuming sentience, it makes sense for there to be some sort of backup, which would be inside the factory.

My thought now is that the factory exists because 1010 units get destroyed so often, right (if not cannon, it would make sense logically)? What if they got destroyed so often that none of them were functioning long enough to develop sentience, because a new unit being made is basically a reset (no backup hub, just the default personality). But after fighting B2J, the factory is destroyed. In the end cutscene, there seems to be one of each 1010 member laying damaged on the ground. It would make sense for Neon J to just repair them in the lack of a factory.

With no factory to just pop out a new one, those units would be the only ones left to function. Meaning that, if they're anything like the warbots (which they are because we know they're based on military models), they'll be around long enough to start developing sentience.

NeonNova is the longest standing married couple on the island, 47 days now. Im still trying to get 1010 moved into the mansion.

Speaking of Mansion, I tried to make Barraca Mansion and it looks pretty ok.

Its like the only part of my island that has been designed lol. And its still a wip so it'll (hopefully) look even better soon.
