Happy New Year!

What a year! I’m so grateful for all the wonderful people in my life and all the amazing things I was able to do in 2026.

I hope 2026 is a kind year to all of us and filled with much fun and love!

#new years card #new year 2026 #cats #this year’s card was hastily thrown together at 2am but it did make it out on time so there #love you all lots!#here’s to more art in 2026!!

“And maybe I’m flawed, but I do exist,

My thoughts are mine. I didn’t sign up for this.”

Currently in love with the song “Unperson” by “Nothing But Thieves,” and how perfect it is for SecUnit.

#the unreadable flashing text is the chorus which goes #this is not what you think it is #it’s worse #<< which really illustrates the perspective of Preservation and most humans that SecUnit meets #they all THINK they know what they’re looking at #but between Preservation seeing it as a human and not a secunit #and Corporation Rim seeing it as a killing machine #neither understand the real horror that is being a bot human construct #anyway have some secunit covered in blood and my headcanon for it’s energy weapons #murderbot #the murderbot diaries #secunit #cw blood #cw flashing

omg I love your murderbot so much, it's just how I picture it!! thank you for all these drawings 💜💜💜

Thank you so much for the kind words 😭💕💕💕

Here is a “walklikeahuman.exe” for your troubles.

It’s not an ex-SecUnit.

You can’t be an ex-SecUnit until you’re dead.

Yeah, this got me, too. But mostly because it shows the arc PresAux has gone through. This is the reason SecUnit ran away in the first place! Because they treated it like it was no longer a SecUnit. Every single thing they say to it in the hotel after its been bought clearly indicates, "You aren't going to be a SecUnit anymore." No, you don't need armor. No, you won't be a bodyguard. You can do whatever you want except be yourself or fulfill your purpose.

And it's the top thing MB lists when ART asks why it left Mensah. "She offered me a home with her on Preservation, but she doesn't need me there. They don't need SecUnits there." When it's captured by colonists in Network Effect, it lists its top three issues as, "Being abandoned on a planet + locked up and forgotten with old equipment + no feed access." Like, they really managed to hit two out of three with that idyllic retirement offer. Go to a planet where nobody needs you and you can be forgotten about and put away safely as a tool nobody uses anymore.

But it comes back to help them when they need a SecUnit. They have to accept it as a SecUnit because they have come to understand that they do, in fact, need one, and that's what their friend is.

The line above from Ratthi is putting into words why they gave it a camera network in the hotel suite on Preservation Station. Why Mensah buys it drones. We get it, this is what you are, and you're our friend, so we'll make space for that.
