Other: rocks and fossils are my jam! I spend a LOT of time outside. I have a sick fossil collection and will absolutely talk about it for hours if you let me (you've been warned)

Feel free to ask me anything! I will happily talk about any of the stuff above or any other random topic all day (and because I have zero chill about stuff I am interested in)

It was serious. Deadly serious. Something inside me twisted. "It's me ART. You know me."

"I do not. I have called security. Keep in mind that that is the official way to handle this. I'm perfectly capable defending myself from the likes of a rogue construct."

*** ART wakes up from a routine upgrade with one small problem: it has no idea who Murderbot is. Murderbot would really like to know what the fuck happened

if you're sitting on a fanfic idea because you think it's "too weird" or "too niche" I need you to understand something: the internet is VAST and FULL of people with your exact brand of weird. that crackship that makes sense only to you? there are at least 50 people who will read it and go "oh my god FINALLY." but even if there were ZERO? you still deserve to write the thing that makes your brain light up.

teaser for We've Been Trying to Reach You About Your SecUnit's Extended Warranty

a G-rated fanfiction created by Anonymous for Mutual Rapport 2026

What's your problem?! You can always fix me up anyway! If I knew that I would get a lecture every time I would have just had a cubicle installed! I balled my hands into fists. At least I could skip the judgement.  That got it riled up. Even if it had its emotions behind its walls, I could still tell they were turbulent. Whoops.  I was gearing up for it to yell at me when it said  You. Little. Idiot. Then it blocked my feed access and left me alone. 

The full work, which explores an ambiguous / queerplatonic take on the ARTMB relationship, will be revealed along with the rest of our AO3 collection on July 10.

System Merge: AU where mbart, well, merge their systems and now co-pilot both the ship and the construct body, trading control over inputs and processes and subsystems in a constant dynamic balance, never truly separate again. while this isn’t a bodyswap au, I am extremely interested in depicting art-primarily-in-mb’s-original-body because the differences between art and mb are fascinating to explore via the visuals. so here’s some stuff

bonus: the main reason they start doing this/move towards the merge is to help art manage its major depression by giving it integrated access to organics (smth smth therapy not working as well on full bots because the organic hardware simply isn’t there). also mb can full on make partitions now. its feed presence was described as ‘spiky spreadsheet’ which imo is a delightful contrast to art’s anime pool water

bonus bonus: what if we were both ops drones…and we kissed…
