WIP brah im working on this
Shout-out to my girlfriend for reading this first
J murder drones kinda analysis I'm just yapping my way thru sorry if I sound like I'm making a stretch or if my grammar sucks I'm not good at writing or if i say something that low-key mischaracterizes her (i would kill myself if i did)
Episode One:
This would, of course , be our first introduction to J, first shown to us by N, in here we can already assume that J has something against N- considering him to be worthless for the team - and acts upon her dislike for N with physical and verbal harm, believing that his perceived inadequacy is what makes him deserve this treatment. Further on into the episode, we touch on her relationship with JcJenson. From here, it is established that J is really into the company. From her consistent use of corporate jargon, her high praise for even the smallest rewards (pens), her loyalty to the company in general that the others do not have- we can take this and assume that J has some sort of attachment to the company and holds importance to what it thinks of her squad. She values doing things and doing them the right and best way for the company's approval, her whole thing with making the "top team this quarter for sure", how worker drones are corrupted and that N showing even the most shallow signs of rebellion is enough to consider him corrupted, her general very harsh mistreatment towards N as he may be the weakest link of the squad and therefore the one that brings them down the most. J has no room for tolerance of any of that, as we could tell from her behavior towards N. Also worthy to mention her disdain towards Worker Drones, which, of course is expected considering she is a Disassembly Drones, but it mainly comes from a place of personal dislike rather than simple murderous intent. The Worker Drones on Copper-9, as far as we were aware during this episode, do not do their expected 'job' that they were specifically designed to do by JcJenson and go out of their way to make their own lives separate from the company completely- a reason as to why J could dislike them. She dehumanizes (for.. drones specifically) the worker drones by referring to them as 'Barely Sentient Toasters' and being corrupted for simply just being themselves. She holds the company in such high regard that she expects others to do the same, and when they don't, they are deemed a problem by her.
Alas, not much else to discuss here, we can simply conclude her as being cruel and a bootlicker for JcJenson.
Episode Two:
Again, not much at all, the only scene of her is the flashback N has.
From here, it is expressed that J knows how she treats N isn't really great for others, seeing as how she immediately pulled a forced switch up when she saw Tessa. We have to remember that this is a flashback, so J, N, and V's time as worker drones in the manor with the Elliotts - in which they had less than pleasant punishments and a high risk of dying for their own mistakes. Seeing as how they were thrown in the pile of discarded drones and brought back, they would want to avoid going back there again and improve upon themselves. with this in mind, we can circle back to how J changes her attitude when she notices Tessa. From what we know, I can guess that J comes from a place of fear judging from her demeanor and tone and life as a worker drone. Being discarded means you have done something wrong, something to disappoint, and did not live up to the expectations that JcJenson and humans set up for all the worker drones. We know J does not take failure from others well, so who is to say she handles it fine herself? She doesn't want to be proven worthless enough to warrant being disassembled again. The others are liabilities to her, they all are considered Tessa's drones so if one messes up the others get their own share of punishment, hence why she has contempt for Cyn as she points out Tessa bringing another worker drone, just another hassle to deal with when it comes to maintaining her standards of perfection to please her owners.
Jumping ahead some episodes for obvious reasons, she's barely in episode 3 anyways.
Episode Five:
Now we're getting into more extensive territory, this episode being the longest screentime J has gotten in an episode (I believe so) and one that establishes an incredibly important relationship for her character- Herself and Tessa. We see them first interacting in this episode as the preparations for the gala are being made, Tessa being anxious about having to talk to humans, and requesting J to pretend to be a ripping royal stud for her (because friends totally just do that platonically) J stays silent, does a gesture, and Tessa immediately understands. Reviewing this, we can figure out that J and Tessa must be friends, leaning towards close ones, and we can see a contrast with the way Tessa acts towards J compared to how the rest of the humans treat their drones. Rather than being heartless, she's nice to them. This must be of importance to J in some way, as all she's ever really known before she was discarded was staying loyal to the company and humans, to work work work and never mess up as there was no patience for incompetent worker drones. She probably projected this mindset that was instilled into her onto N, forcing him to conform to the rigid standards that were placed up on them, as that was all J really knew.- so to see her act so relaxed and even content around Tessa is major green flag and an indicator of trust and mutual respect in their relationship. And for the first time, we see her express genuine concern for Tessa when she notices the wrist. J is revealed to us as being more than just a bootlicker who cares about the company more than anything else- because she also cares for Tessa. (Cont.)
