when the platform is decaying...
SecUnit Three is so charming. Like what do you mean it's liked by the other University MIs and listens to them lecture at it. What did you mean it went on a rogue freeing rampage when it was supposed to go home and then thought up a (bad) lie to tell its teammate and transport. What do you mean 'it could be a we problem'

platform decay spoilers
loving the implications that cargo/hauler bots
a) thirst for blood
b) all yearn to become bumper cars one day
given that this isn't true of Preservation bots, I'm going to interpret it as a maladaptive behavior due to not being given enough enrichment. either that, or there's an annual bumper extravaganza/ demolition derby on Preservation where they can get it out of their systems.
Okay okay okay so who else feels very Normal and Fine about Murderbot making its drones do little tricks to distract and comfort traumatized children. Anybody else. Just me. ok.
Platform Decay spoilers! Damn! the two of them are in very different genres huh. had to draw this real fast cus, wow.
let MB have a REST yo. (also, ill be updating the fandom wikis sooooon)
[Image Description: a drawing of Murderbot and SecUnit Three from Platform Decay, the newest murderbot diaries entry. Murderbot is a south asian person with red hair, some of it pulled back with clips. it wears a high collar shirt with a patchwork haori, both are dirty and wrinkled. it is tired and annoyed. Three is an east asian person with black cropped hair. it waves at the viewer with a slight smile on its face. it wears a white hoodie, a black turtleneck and brown pants. around the two units are all the things they had to suffer in Platform Decay, that is, Murderbot with everything, and Three with nothing at all. END description.]
MB: My hair was 2cm longer and I'd changed the colour and texture
Me: bleached wolfcut, gottit
MB: Nana gave me a patterned wrap
Me: full cowboy outfit let's goooooooooo
in my heart MB had a fake old bleach job for all of platform decay. its scary and i hope it changes its hair back to normal soon. also this was maybe the best scene in the book. maybe it could be a we problem
I’ve never drawn so fast in my LIFE
Spoiler-free drawing/meme shitpost based on Platform Decay (and my first time trying my hand at Three!)

(more murderhelion human au)
I went to a Q&A with Martha Wells last night and asked 'Has Murderbot ever smiled?' and she said it does in private, not so much at people.
As a now former Murderbot-never-smiles truther, I couldn't be happier to have my headcanon disproven :')
I don't know if anyone has done this already. Murderbot and its offspring murderbot
just checking :)

thinking about...
murder-"careful don't let any emotion bleed through to the feed"-bot patting itself on the back for a good job sounding professional as it makes contact and establishes rapport with the stupid pet bot
meanwhile, miki, very familiar with emotions and effortlessly plucking them out of the feed: what the fuck this is the single most traumatized wet cat i have ever met; gods alive, gotta be extra nice and friendly to this one; who DID this to it it's LITERALLY crying in a closet rn i am NOT equipped to handle this; ill just be EVEN MORE nice for now and make a note to download an emotional support and trauma recovery module once we're off milu
murderbot: ugh it's so dumb and nice and annoying and infantilized
miki: fucked up a perfectly good bot is what they did LOOK AT IT it's got ANXIETY
An alternate cover for Network Effect with Bharadwaj interviewing Murderbot for her documentary.
(I had a lot of thoughts while drawing this and put them below the cut)
