guy who didn't ask for any of this of all time

ART said, I want an apology. I made an obscene gesture at the ceiling with both hands. (I know ART isn’t the ceiling but the humans kept looking up there like it was.) ART said, That was unnecessary. In a low voice, Ratthi commented to Overse, “Anyone who thinks machine intelligences don’t have emotions needs to be in this very uncomfortable room right now.”

I am aware that murderhelion is just a compound word ship name type on the surface level. Still, I can't help but to intrepert it as "killing the helion (sun)" every time that, of course, inevitably, would associate it with this exact image as its brand

The essence that can sum up those two in every aspects perfectly well to be honest

Further evidence of Murderbot being an unreliable narrator:

Murderbot: Well, I guess I'll use these crappy drones that the cheap-ass company paid the lowest bidder for. I wish I had better drones.

ART, watching over MB's shoulder: Those drones are so cool. I want drones like that. Dads, can I have drones like that? Can we get new drones on the way home?

ART's family: Peri, where did you schematics for state-of-the-art, highly secret, corporate military tech?

ART: Oh. You know. Lying around.

"SecUnit would write fanfic"

"It would only beta read and leave comments"

SecUnit would install itself as a moderator of the Sanctuary Moon fandom wiki page. SecUnit would, for the simple transgression of being annoying - delete your account, IP ban, find your personal email address and send you a citation-laden 5 page explanation about how you're wrong titled "Banned for life (idiot)"

As much as I enjoyed the slightly more gradual buildup to the PresAux crew and Murderbot actually trusting each other in the show, I hope that when Season 2 drops they don’t keep the energy for ART.

ART and Murderbot’s friendship is built on them speedrunning the weirdest fucking relationship stages you can imagine. You can’t make their development slower. I need to see ART going “I know we’ve known each other for a week but you should let me perform surgery on you :)”

Men will literally attempt to reshape the world in their image by committing mass murder with a magic notebook instead of going to therapy.

RIP to several of my mutuals but I have never been happier that I do not know what Homestuck is.

murderhelion is a beautiful name for murderbot/ART's dynamic but we really missed out the opportunity to call them MART. it sounds so fucking unserious and it matches their energy perfectly. MART.

Oh so we're just saying it now?

[longearedhare]

absolutely feral about the interview with Martha Wells where she quite literally said ART is the love of Murderbot’s life. agender asexual traumatized robot couple my beloved

[sanctuaryrin]

love love love the added perspective of MB and ART's relationship we get from rapport because now we know ART was definitely sitting there when it was taken over in network effect like "oh no! I have become a damsel transport in distress! surely my darling secunit in shining armor will rescue me from my tower and whisk me away on its noble steed!" and then murderbot effectively shows up, rescues it, and immediately dumps it off the back of the steed and says "bitch walk home."

Murderhelion means so much to me actually. They have a relationship and it's definitely queer but it's not the human definition of romantic or sexual. They are both aroace. They share intimacy through the feed and it feels so natural its basically subconscious. The first thing Perihelion does upon meeting Murderbot is expose its entire code to it, just for an unfathomably tiny amount of time. Murderbot meets Peri and trusts it enough to modify its entire body relatively soon after. Peri sees MB having an Awful time and puts on a show for it without even asking. MB gets captured and Perihelion Immediately trains all of its missiles on the colony it was captured by without hesitation and it takes an entire TEAM of people to talk it down from blowing everything up. Peri will casually jump into MB's mind. It got captured and tortured and its memory gets fucked with and it was shut down and it used every single inch of processing power it had to find Murderbot because it knew it could save it. The two of them have no human label for their relationship but they trust each other so easily that they can become essentially one being when they have to. whatever they have going on is FANTASTIC

[shoeboxgoblin]

Murderbot is such a neurodivergent power fantasy. It can

- store unlimited media and watch it privately

- turn down sensory organs that are bothering it

- look at stuff without its eyes

- cross reference its data storage when it doesn't know what to say

- program "human-like behavior"

- super duper kill the shit out of anyone that fucks with it

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."
