TRAMELL TILLMAN as SETH MILCHICK in Severance (season two).

really fond of the idea that the adjustments murderbot made to its appearance for this mission made it look more a member of mensah's family

ID below the cut (copied from alt)

ID: Digital art of Mensah, Amena, and ART helping Murderbot bleach its hair. Amena is stood behind Murderbot's chair, applying bleach into foils with a brush and smiling. An arrow pointing to her says, "called in as hair expert." Murderbot has its eyes closed behind the foils and an arrow pointing to it says, "all sensory input (except drones) off, watching Sanctuary Moon." Overhead a representation of ART watches the process with an arrow pointing to it saying, "supervising." Standing to the side, Mensah is reading the back of a box of bleach over her glasses, frowning. An arrow pointing to her says, "invited to help to distract from panic attack."

Digital art of Murderbot holding Sofi aboard a busy public transport vehicle. Its hair is bleached to the same lighter brown as Sofi and Mensah, and has a curly texture. It is wearing a red patterned shawl knitted in the same style as Sofi's rainbow sweater. Sofi is loosely holding on to Murderbot's neck and looking around nervously, while Murderbot easily holds her in one arm, looking in the other direction. In the background, a digital display can be seen reading, "Next stop:" but is then cut off. /end ID

#this art is so evocative. it feels like a goya painting

OP did a lovely job with this piece. The pose they picked is a difficult one to do correctly and dynamically- the doubling over is hard to illustrate without making it look weird or poorly drawn, the low seat of the “pelvis” making the figure dip down lower (to emphasize the clutching motion of the hands) is a hard perspective to imagine without a reference. I liked the way OP chose to draw the shoulders, evoking both the hunching of shoulders that would be present in a fleshier painting and drawing out the strong, dynamic curve of the body.

The blood, the desperate clutch, the crying and the pose all suggest something religious, making the post all the more impactful with its drawing- The caramel frappe does not answer the subject, just as God does not answer the subjects of paintings who depicted the same theme.

It’s also intriguing where OP chose to put details. In amostly minimalist creation, the (relatively) detailed frappe, hands, and face guides your eyes in a a dynamic way- from the frappe to the face, then follows the line of the body out to the end of the legs- making the art more interesting to the eye.

I have a theory about the colors that I’m not sure is true, but I think the subject being black and white separates it from the frappe, which is fully colored. The blood, neither frappe nor person colored, acts as a connector between the two– the only ways the two subjects can connect are through touch and sight, both of which causes the human subject pain. Then again, I may be reading into things too much idk

When you learn how to crochet/ knit or really any type of fiber arts, there will be a voice in your head that tells you that you should make something for everyone for the holidays.

Do not listen to that voice, for it is the devil.

[bwabbitv3s]

Annual reminder that if that voice starts nagging you now is the time to give in. Really, if you want to make everyone something for the holidays now would be when you start. It takes way longer than you would think for stuff. So you better get started now if you don't want to stress over it or for stuff to be rushed to get done in time.

thinking about MB’s development vs Three’s development, and something that really struck me after platform decay is that MB was socialized by humans: through media and PresAux then ART who also seems to prefer humans in some sense (it at least doesn’t love Holism. and it’s SO FASCINATED by MB’s emotions. to this world it didn’t understand before…).

and then i think of Three (and that’s Three-in-a-set-of-SecUnits to you) who seems to be socializing well with the university AIs and perhaps doesn’t even care to be around humans as much…. meanwhile some of MB’s favorite people are humans… idk, it’s just interesting

like, if left to its own devices, would Three simply prefer the company of other SecUnits and MIs? And it’s so interesting to contrast with MB’s traumas à la Ganaka Pit, its media consumption reinforcing biases, and then the first people to See it as a person being humans. contrasting that with Three getting Seen at latest by sentient killware, and maybe before that by other SecUnits… like it is primed in many ways to prefer MIs

[brawltogethernow]

We talk about ART frantically cleaning when it heard Mensah was going to come aboard at the end of Network Effect, and I would like to add to this vein that because of HelpMe.file Three is also going to be like, THE DOCTOR MENSAH? FROM BRAIN TV!?
