Finding out AI companies are chewing through - literally, they’re pulping and burning them as they go - millions of books often including 1/1s and old texts that cannot be reprinted

Meanwhile there’s always some dipshit telling me AI is the future and we’ve got to just let companies erase human history and literature so they can train their abomination machines to pretend to think like people because a judge said it’s fine

Inspired by @ctrl-shift-alt-9 's headcanon about Simon mining asteroids as a convict I decided to headcanon a design for a four convict mining unit. I'm not the most comfortable in photobash but it really felt like the perfect medium for this one.

Portable mining units

As I envision it this MS's would be a small part of C.O.I's mining operation. Leaving prisoners inside mostly on their own for better or for worse, with not much guard oversight in terms of rationing or behaviour, the shittiness of the circumstance would depend mostly on who you are stuck with. And considering the relative autonomy, being considered for MS work would be the kind of thing you get for good behaviour.

Otherwise you just get to work in the bigger supervised mine or the refineries (which I might also concept out later).

(Also I would consider it funny that the C.O.I owns both an SM and an MS 13 and both had the same unlucky convict inside at some point.)

More headcanons

- The mining stations are all equipped with a radio that is supposed to only serve as communication with nearby tow ships, but there is a way to jail break/jerry rig them into taking external signals. The convicts that can do that are valuable in prison society. The jail broken communicators are mostly used to listine in on passing vessels, or sometimes even far away eden scavenger transmissions or something like it. If a mining operation is all made out of previous eden brothers, that is most likely what they do in their free time.

- a sub headcanon to this is an actual pirate radio station in the iron lung universe, but I think I'll make a separate post for that.

-All the mining suits are numbered, and since Korean culture might have survived in space I think number 4 is still considered unlucky. Simon always gets the number 4 suit

-The crews are usually chosen at random but you can cash in favours to be with the same people twice in a row, I wouldn't say it's common, but there are reoccurring crews that are somehow bonded on these missions (I don't think a cosmic misery universe is complete without a little bit of hope)

MY REVERSE BLOODYMARY AU, TAKE IT GO GO GO!!! I really want to lean into Ryland Grace mad scientist for this thank you very much.

RYLAND GRACE GETS HIS GLASSES REVERSE AU COMIC 👀

In this AU Simon and Adrian get stuck in their progress as neither of them have the expert6 that Grace and Rocky have. When Grace gets there he's able to start piecing together the notes left by strats team and then there's another blip- LOOOL ROCKY IS HERE!!! Adrian and their crew is taking too long so hes on a rescue mission. Then it's GRACE AND ROCKY SAVE STARSSSS and a one way trip to Erid 😮‍💨♥️

Little more context to this post!!

PART 2

Tfw you look in the mirror and are not used to your new self so all you see is what was supposed to be your impending doom and forget it's not real for a second so you shatter TF out of the nice guy who saved you's mirror and now you probably gotta go let him know. (You're low-key sure this is gonna be his final straw with you. I mean you BROKE something that's HIS for NO reason??? How are you even gonna explain this)

My fill for the @mutualrapport event. My prompt was to explore Murderbot & ART’s relationship in terms of quantum entanglement. My notes on this piece below the cut.

Mutual Rapport AO3 Collection

When two particles experience quantum entanglement, they are linked, no matter the distance between them. From the moment Murderbot steps onto Perihelion’s bridge, their lives become inextricably linked.

For “I hold you in my bones”, I connected the moment in which Murderbot stands in the geodome in Rogue Protocol, in awe of the storm, to its understanding of ART’s powerful and all encompassing presence.

For “Your metal bones hold me”, I show MB floating in space, gazing up at ART’s ship body, as ART releases its pathfinders to encircle MB.

Perihelion is the point of a planet’s orbit in which it is closest to its star, and in different moments, Murderbot and Perihelion are one another’s sun, but they are always close (no matter how far).
