Murderbot’s humans (and augmented humans and non-humans):

[mrcelleoshkosh]

MB+3 headcanon

Murderbot starts doing maintenance on Three after a while of working together in ART’s crew. Murderbot doesn’t mind this kind of touch as long as it is the one doing the touching.

It always describes what they are doing as maintenance. And then it begins to do maintenance that isn’t strictly necessary, because it is seems beneficial for Three.

If you would ask Three instead, it would describes the process as Murderbot caressing its hair and rubbing its back or chest. It can allow its mind to drift like this so easily for a recharge cycle, because it never accidentally believes that it’s back with B-E. During its time with B-E it has never been touched like this, so while MB gently rubs its back it can’t get flashbacks because its mind can’t trick it into thinking it’s back there.

Murderbot diligently (and happily) is doing “maintenance” on Three whenever they are off duty together, but it would never call it anything but maintenance. And it will verbally bit off the heads of anyone implying differently.

So we watched Worldhoppers. It didn’t complain about the lack of realism. After three episodes, it got agitated whenever a minor character was killed. When a major character died in the twentieth episode I had to pause seven minutes while it sat there in the feed doing the bot equivalent of staring at a wall, pretending that it had to run diagnostics. Then four episodes later the character came back to life and it was so relieved we had to watch that episode three times before it would go on.

i think the core of why aroace grace is so important to me is because so many aroace people are deemed “less than human” for lacking something categorized as “inherently human,” or ostracized for straying from the expectations of an amatonormative society. but grace basically goes fuck (well, fudge) all of that my best friend is an alien and i’m going to live out a beautiful and fulfilling life in a terrarium on his alien planet and eat cannibalism burgers for the rest of my life and it’s going to be so completely worth it because i don’t need a partner or a dog to make my life meaningful and i don’t have to adhere to anyone’s expectations anymore. i think part of why his relationship with rocky is so special to him is that it’s his first taste of how it really feels to be put first, to be truly valued without any expectations of romance, or anything for that matter. yes he loved earth, yes he had meaningful relationships with his students and friends, but on erid with rocky was the first time the constant pressure of an alloromantic society was totally gone. and he proves that you can live a completely bizarre life that most people would be utterly baffled by and be perfectly happy. you can never get married and your kids can be pebbles and your roommates can be robots and literally no one can do anything about it.
