Murderbot is such a neurodivergent power fantasy. It can

- store unlimited media and watch it privately

- turn down sensory organs that are bothering it

- look at stuff without its eyes

- cross reference its data storage when it doesn't know what to say

- program "human-like behavior"

- super duper kill the shit out of anyone that fucks with it

I cannot imagine 1) That the Corporation Rim would produce free entertainment 2) That Murderbot paid for any of its serials. The entertainment feed is HuMaxFlix Plus with 500 different micro subscription options, and Murderbot has been the universe's most prolific TV pirate this whole time.

The interesting link between the two situations is that they were both indirectly caused by a complete disregard for proper regulations

Because that’s the way the story of the gay guy and the straight girl is always told, isn’t it? He broke her heart. Poor her. But you were just being who you are.

I’m not sure if many watched this show back in the aughts, or are watching its reboot, but this scene was a terrific moment. A perfect moment not just for a show about the LGBTQIA demographic, but about how often its portrayed in media that the straight person in a gay coming-out story is the victim.How in a lot of these kinds of stories, it’s the straight person that comes at the gay person as hurt, as how they’re betrayed, as how they’re damaged and their reputation matters in the narrative. This episode, and this scene in particular destroys all of that and focuses on that person realizing that, yes, your life is changing as a result of your partner’s decision to come out and your relationship sexually and lovingly is over, you likely do NOT comprehend all that your friend has been, and is still dealing with on the other side. No queer/trans/bi/etc person should ever have to apologize solely for hurting someone because of their sexual orientation. This scene hit me so goddamn hard this week, and trying to explain this feeling to friends this past weekend had me ultimately crying and sobbing to help them understand that coming out and coming to terms with what your life may now hold is one of the most difficult things they will do. Even if you have no interest in Will and Grace and never watch another moment or episode, please understand just how important what is being said here is for millions of people.

Transcript:

Will: We don’t have to talk about it.

Grace: No, we do. I have to. You were tortured. And I never even thought about that. When I got to the part where you write: “Grace, I don’t want to be gay. I just wish I was normal.” …Oh my god, Will. That broke my heart.

And then the part where you said that you were thinking about hurting yourself? I mean, is that true? (Pause) Sweetie?

Will: It was a long time ago.

Grace: Okay, look. This might be 30 years too late. But I just got smart in the last hour. (Audience laughs) You’re right, I didn’t think about your pain. I only thought about mine, because that’s the way the story of the gay guy and the straight girl is always told. Isn’t it?

He broke her heart. Poor her. But you were just being who you are, and you were scared to death that the world was gonna find out and hate you for it.

Will: Wow….You did get smart. (Audience laughs)

Grace: And you were right, it is why I never say “I’m sorry.” And I have been playing the victim. So… I am going to say it now. (Pause)

Grace (emotionally): …Doesn’t it feel good? (Audience laughs)

Will: Still haven’t said it. (Audience laughs)

Grace: I didn’t? Oh! I am sorry. I am sorry for not being there with you. I am sorry, Will. I am sorry for not being there when you needed me most. And I am so, so sorry that I never said this to you before now.

The fact that you are a gay man did not ruin my life. It made it so much better.

Will: Mine too.

(They hug and Audience applauses)

More fun facts about ancient Celtic marriage laws: There were no laws against interclass or interracial marriage, no laws against open homosexual relationships (although they weren’t considered ‘marriages’ since the definition of a marriage was ‘couple with child’), no requirement for women to take their husband’s names or give up their property, but comedians couldn’t get married

I want to expound upon “comedians couldn’t get married” thing because it’s actually really interesting. Satire was respected in Ancient Ireland. It was thought to have great power, enough to physically maim the subject one was making jokes about. Satirists could bring down kings with a witty enough insult. That was actually their original function. When the king didn’t do right by his people, a bard was supposed to compose a poem so scathing it would raise welts on the king’s skin to oust him (it was illegal for a “blemished” king to rule.) Unwarranted satire was considered a form of assault. So what it boils down to is ancient Celts being like “These people are too dangerous to reproduce. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH CHILDREN. EVER.”

fact: ppl named katie with a k are inherently more powerful than those who spell it with a c. the strongest catie could fight the weakest katie and would still be obliterated. however, katies ending in ie are superior to katies ending in y, with k/catis as the most inferior katie. the katie hierarchy is as follows: katie, katy, kati, catie, caty, cati. katherines, however, are the most powerful of all, with catherines at a distant second. if, for god knows what reason, you place an i between the a and the t (see: caitie, kaity), you do not qualify as a true katie, and will not survive past a single round of katie v katie fisticuffs.
