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).

The OBSESSION with identity is so crazy like the view that when you do something it immediately becomes part of your identity and all the parts of you have to click together to become “person who wakes up early” or “person who reads” no you can literally just do something without restructuring your whole performance of personhood around it. I don’t know what to tell you except that you will never be able to have an entirely unfractured view of yourself or that you will be able to rationalize all the complex parts of yourself into the phrase “person who x” like you should just be doing things without performing them. Or aestheticizing them. Just try different things on and keep what works for you. Otherwise you will never learn and grow!

Man this want to tell everyone I meet about murderbot diaries and how it has changed my life forever is ruining my nonchalant mysterious vibe

i was your robot companion

you were my favorite color

I bet other rouge constructs are very jealous of Murderbot and its friendship with perihelion, cause that’s a fucking hubsystem that loves you back and also has big rail guns and a very nice med system. Totally unfair.

"Listening to the SecSystem's audio, I heard a crew member in the corridor say,"I've never seen one out of armor. They really do look human." I made a gesture in that direction that I had only seen in the shows that were rated high on the obscenity scale. Gurathin saw me and made a choking noise."

No thoughts. Only Murdybot.

not Murderbot in a 24 hour period going from "my best friend is dead" to "my best friend is alive and we are NO LONGER friends" to "I forgive you" to "let me get you pregnant"

anticipating an exponential increase in murderbot misgendering so I drew something about it

It kills me how SecUnit is this big, scary thing with literal weapons in it’s arms, capable of insane feats of physical strength, nigh on impossible to stop or kill, capable of hacking it’s way into most systems, can lose most of it’s body mass and vital fluids and keep going, can remove its own limbs, records and analyzes everything, eyes and ears in a thousand places at once, smarter, faster, stronger, and more capable than a human could ever be, utterly disgusted with most human things and

It loves a trashy soap opera. It’s so soft and gentle with an injured Volescu. It’s favorite human is a middle aged mom who drives carefully and mom friends at her friends and coworkers. It’s so delicate and considerate with Mensah’s kids. It lets Tapan sleep touching it and turns up it's body heat for extra comfort. It likes plays and musical theatre. It's best human friend is a sunshine nerd from Planet Hippy. It keeps a diary. It doesn’t understand the appeal of human adolescents but it’s so good with Amena. It likes decidedly unrealistic media. It cares so much about humans that it’s never met and wants to keep them safe and happy. It gently frets over Three just minutes after meeting it. It gets flustered and confused when complimented or treated with care. It offers to free other constructs, even while actively fighting them. It has criticisms and strong opinions on media. It’s shy. It “hacks” its way into things by asking the relevant bots to be friends and share media. It only ever really scares Amena when she witnesses it's wild grief over losing ART. It stops, gets back in control, and explains immediately when it realizes it’s causing her distress. It lets ART make media requests, pauses to let it process its own emotions, and re-watches certain scenes over and over again until it’s happy, mere moments after ART scares it so badly it goes nearly catatonic, simply because ART asked. It grieves Miki even though it never really liked the bot in the first place. It’s uncomfortable with physical touch but offers to let Mensah hug it and lets her grab its arm when she’s in distress.

It was created for destruction and violence and pain. It’s the epitome of unstoppable, unkillable, inescapable, inhumane force in every horrific dystopia ever. It is not human and does not want to be. It’s got the abilities of an overpowered superhero. It's a living deux ex machina. It’s actually so soft and gentle and filled to bursting with love for small, soft, silly things and people
