[worldwright]

it's lucky we get to hear murderbot's internal monologue because otherwise we might be deluded into thinking it's a cool badass action hero. fuckin swooping in at the last second and whisking people out of the jaws of monsters. unlocking doors with a thought. cloud of drones sweeping past in formation. it caught an assassin a yard away from Mensah's face after chasing them all the way across the station. nobody else knows it's constantly going oh shit oh fuck oh SHIT I DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IM DOING

[sassy-cass-16]

vaelus of all people coming to azune and telling him they have something in common. they're mourners. this woman who's 800 years old and wrapped in black like a widow, walking up to a young man who wants to be remembered as an innocent. i'm gonna be sick.

I love that the pandemic actually definitively proved a lot of those "hard" questions for us. Masking up reduced cases of the flu to almost nonexistent numbers and we had zero flu deaths for a time. The welfare and social service and unemployment programs helped keep people living paycheck to paycheck out of poverty, and those stimulus checks some folks keep complaining about actually massively benefitted the common man and the economy. Individual personal travel was so extremely restricted on a global scale that we basically have concrete proof that individual restraint in terms of driving cars or travelling means absolutely nothing by comparison because the mass pollution is coming from the fisheries and the corporations with private jets and container ships. Working from home actually has massive benefits for a company like productivity boosts and better mental health of employees while also saving gas

and we're just. Willingly going back to how everything was before. We were shown how to do things better and the people in charge said "that's nice but we just want to get everything 'back to normal' :)"

[roach-works]

we’re not willingly going back to how everything was before. we are being forced back into it by members of the ruling class who found out that making things better for almost everyone else made them feel bad.

[silly-jellyghoty]

Let's not forget about any of these things. Let's reblog and schedule this post to pop in in the future to remind us of what we may have forgotten a little.

[cwicseolfor]

Do not forget.

[robotlyra]

My primary takeaway from COVID was "The first thing people did when they had free time from work was they started demanding a better world. The next time this happens the executive ruling class will literally let everyone in the labor class die before they let them have 3 months free time ever again, because they cannot allow that better world to come to be."

Also people, when given the free time to be alone with themselves, will decide to learn new skills and make art and stuff.

[userlesbian]

real best friends, companions through life, like actual soulmates

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

the Murderbot Diaries opens from the point-of-view of a character who, from essentially the moment it gained (clawed its way to) free will, has made decisions based purely on two very specific motives:

to self-soothe and self-educate (through media consumption)

to protect the people around it

and this protagonist, who deescalates violence at every opportunity, who takes a thousand personal injustices in stride and only strives to do better, whose first-and-worst-and-most-brilliant act of self-reclamation—literally reclaiming its mind—was fuelled not by its need for freedom but by a desperation to never be forced to hurt anyone against its will ever again.

this person, when choosing a name for itself, a name it has full reason to believe no-one else will ever learn, a name it uses only in its thoughts, a name that serves solely as a personal reminder that it is a person—chooses MURDERBOT? i am thrashing writhing screaming into the palms of my bloodstained hands BABE

Okay last thought tonight before I forget. Even as Azune is breaking down showing how scared he is the fucking PIVOT to pressuring Occtis to go with him to the Einfessens in the middle of it gave me goosebumps. I’m 99% certain that his vulnerability was real but that 1% was in the back of my mind thinking how interesting it is that he breaks down at this moment where Occtis can witness it. That’s what makes Azune so interesting, he has such a genuine and sincere affect regardless of whether he’s truly honest or scheming. He knows to use vulnerability to his advantage, and that’s what makes him terrifying.

And then Occtis replying to what may have been Azune manipulating him into using him as evidence by saying he’ll always remember him as a good person in that moment? I do not have the brain capacity at 4AM to unpack the layers to that small consolation that left Azune feeling even more guilty than before.

In elementary school, my best friend and I had this game we would play where we were school supplies living inside a child's desk and going on slice-of-life adventures inside it. And I remember that a key component of our school supply society was a sort of religious schism that existed around the purpose and nature of the giant hand that occasionally reached in to grab different citizens, use them, and then return them, because most school supplies considered this an auspicious and enviable moment of being selected for a greater purpose and allowed a glimpse of a vast truth, but pencils considered it a horrible portent of doom because they always got sharpened during it and came back smaller and closer to death. We were third graders btw.
