Holy fucking shit, I've just been introduced (via this Tumblr post I didn't want to derail) to the song that is possibly The Most Murderbot Song I've ever heard. I genuinely checked the album release year to see if it could be inspired by Murderbot but it came out in 2010. Also I must acknowledge my tendency to be out of the loop, so I have no idea how well known this song is generally or if it's come up before in Murderbot circles where I haven't seen it. I guess I could try to research it but I just wanna post about it right now because holy Fucking shit!!! So, here it is:

"Oh No!" by Marina and the Diamonds (aka MARINA)

(lyrics below the cut via Genius.com)

[Verse 1]

Don't do love, don't do friends

I'm only after success

Don't need a relationship

I'll never soften my grip

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't want cash, don't want card

Want it fast, want it hard

Don't need money, don't need fame

I just want to make a change

I just wanna change, I just wanna change

I just wanna change, I just wanna change

I just wanna change

[Chorus]

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be

I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine

I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy

Oh! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no, oh!

[Verse 2]

One track mind, one track heart

If I fail, I'll fall apart

Maybe it is all a test

'Cause I feel like I'm the worst

So I always act like I'm the best

[Pre-Chorus]

If you are not very careful

Your possessions will possess you

TV taught me how to feel

Now real life has no appeal

It has no appeal, it has no appeal

It has no appeal, it has no appeal

It has no appeal

[Chorus]

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be

I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine

I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy

Oh! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no, oh!

I know exactly (Da-da-da, da-da-da)

What I want and who I want to be (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

I know exactly (Da-da-da, da-da-da)

Why I walk and talk like a machine (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

I'm now becoming (Da-da-da, da-da-da)

My own self-fulfilled prophecy (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

Oh! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no, oh!

[Bridge]

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly

I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly

I'm gonna fail, gonna die, die, die, die

[Chorus]

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be

I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine

I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy

Oh! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no, oh!

I know exactly (Da-da-da, da-da-da)

What I want and who I want to be (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

I know exactly (Da-da-da, da-da-da)

Why I walk and talk like a machine (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

I'm now becoming (Da-da-da, da-da-da)

My own self-fulfilled prophecy (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

Oh! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no, oh!

[Outro]

(Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

(Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

(Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

Oh! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no, oh!

1 Make your shirt wet. Like soak wet.

2 Make your hair wet

3 Drink water

4 When your hair dries it is a sign to make it wet again and to drink water. (If the water evaporated from your hair it did so from your body too. Wet hair is both cooling and dehydration detector. The same is with your shirt)

5 Carry two bottles of water - one for drinking, one to make your shirt and hair wet

As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China

[gayweeddaddy69]

cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please

[senshibignaturals]

Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals

B335 thought about what Itric had said about feeling like a dream. It remembered dreaming it was a bee. It sent to the older construct. Those plans you sent me, was that your original body? Is that why it feels like a dream? Itric sent back, It was like a body I had. I think. What they dug up was on tracks. But the blueprints are of existing model, a prototype was created and a sexbot won it to be modified first. But the body problem is the secondary one. The main one is that I feel my time being buried as now no inner timer helps. It is just a longest and the strongest impression in my existence. The world of "now”? Just a fleeting unstable moment. It always returns to the real one. Not this. B335 hates being underground. The idea of being buried and left to rot like a human is horrifying. The idea of someone surviving that is painful to contemplate. No surprise that Itric is weird. How long were you buried? I do not know. I may be still there? Some centuries? Decades? Ages?

B335 crosses the distance between them and grabs Itric by the shoulders hard enough to feel through the armor. I am not. I am not there and I am not buried and you cannot tell me that I am not real. So you can't lie to yourself either. You're alive now. Don't let your brain tell you that you aren't. Itric was surprised. It did not flinch. It was almost absolutely sure it was safe here. B335's hand was warm. It was really warm. Like that touch Cass gave it. Like HS's curiosity. Like a kitten. @B335: I do my best. I will search for bees for you

Thank you, it lets go

Thank you. I like you. You are in danger. But please exist. Continue to exist It turned to face B335. I will do anything for it. Anything you want or you need

B335 struggles to understand this. What is the danger? The company finding out I am free?

No. Me. I am the danger for those I like so much

Danger like bad luck, or danger like you hurt people on purpose?

Both. I need you and HS and this human and my crew exist no matter the cost

Sounds safer than not being one of your favorite things to be honest. B335 shrugs, no part of being a rogue secunit is without risk.

That is true Itric smiles. This time for real, not just to snarl at the dark and cold emptiness. It smiles to a friend knowing that it is such a fool to try again.

B335 smiles back. It wants the other constructs to enjoy freedom as much as it does. Itric belongs to @garvet

B335 belongs to me Both are characters from a rogue construct RP over on New Tideland. Garvet wrote half of the above and I wrote the other half. Art and background photography by me.
