[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

Murderbot (used to dealing with Mensah and the Preservation gang): There are bad guys out there. So I need to go out there. With them. For a while. And um... interact with them. For a while. I'm being very vague so as to not offend sensibilities. Do you get what--

Farai: Go fuck them up already.

Murderbot:

[sabriel-writes]

Murderbot, absolute monarch of haterism. It gets friends for the first time in its life and immediately designates one Mortal Enemy [if anyone touches him they're dead]. It runs away, meets another intelligent bot, and immediately gives it a nickname that starts with Asshole. It goes to Preservation and starts one-sided beef with a hauler bot for no fucking reason. IT'S ENRICHMENT

Cute thing I noticed while re-reading: most people tap each other through the feed. ART pokes.

Bonus, non-metaphorical non-feed poking:

After reading Platform Decay I was suddenly struck with the intense urge to draw Murderbot in a grandma sweater just having The Worst™ time.

Free will means I can draw my favorite sci-fi duos interacting.

INTERPOLATION

(aka "how many ways can i gnaw on the concept of ART riding MB's feed")

[mushroominaforest]

I needed some sort of entertainment to occupy my mind while I sewed (40-50 hours of quilting + bad mental state = a lot of intrusive thoughts and spiralling lol), and after plowing through as many interesting YouTube deep dives as I could find, I ended up trying out audiobooks and getting incredibly invested in the Murderbot diaries

Anyways reading the Murderbot diaries via audiobook is such a banger experience because why is it pulling the exact same move as me

God I love it so much

I think the most damage this site has done to me is making me think "It's fucken wimdy" when it is, in fact, fucken wimdy outside.

[whatthefluffnightvale]

I taught one of my ranching buddies “it fucken wimdy” and now he says it around his older more established ranching buddies

The exhilaration I get- upon hearing an old rancher (I’ve never met before) in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat while on a horse, grimly saying “it fucken wimdy” in a thick west Texas accent as he looks down upon his cows- is incalculable

Amena, a second-year student at PSUMNT trying to get into the highly competitive Perihelion workstudy program: Sooooooo, any chance family of crewmembers get preferential placement? Yeah, the Perihelion's security consultant is my. Uh.

Amena, realising she doesn't want to try to explain Secunit to the Dean of Students: The security consultant is my Third Mom.

This scene absolutely floored me. So much emotion in this moment. It's so beautiful!
