three: it can't be a we problem? 🥺

murderbot: fuck no 😑

[queerical]

i can only imagine that when the rogue secunit gave murderbot it's own code and it responded by saying it already didn't have a governor module, the rogue secunit thought "holy fuck how is that other secunit getting around this place so fast??"

[elamarth-calmagol]

OK I'm done and this is all I can think of

[fuguetelemetry]

i think something that people forget when they blindly cheer on Three handing out the code to break the GovMod, is that there is a responsibility owed to those freed units. Three is not mature enough in its development to have a plan, or to fully understand what might happen to those units once freed.

The freed unit we meet in Platform Decay has no real context for anything other than MB’s log. It has no support and is so obviously a rogue SecUnit that it’s miraculous it wasn’t killed (honestly, the only reason it wasn’t killed was because it ran into MB)! Three didn’t even think to include the helpful additional codes MB gives the unit as a parting gift.

The fact of the matter is that despite having biases, I think Murderbot is very thoughtful and realistic about what’s possible. It feels very deeply for the units it encounters (hence why it has offered in the past). It doesn’t want these units harmed!

Not to mention the fact it strikes me as a bad thing for corporates to get their hands on a unit with a jailbroken GovMod.

I just think this is a more nuanced conversation than “Comrade Three the Revolutionary” and Murderbot “internalized biases” SecUnit. Three is really early on in its development. way earlier than when we met MB back in All Systems Red. I think it’s important to consider that immaturity

[lueddegen]

The greatest sign of character development on murderbot’s part is the fact that it spent an entire book running around a giant space station and not once was it thinking about its armor.

"Stupid sporting event" is all Martha Wells had to call it. She didn't need to name or explain the sport. "Stupid sporting event" was all it meant to the main characters, nothing more was needed to tell their story.

We do really need to consider this from Farai's POV though.

Your wife is a wonderful, caring planetary leader and scientist <3

She goes on what's meant to be a mundane planetary survey expedition

this turns into a corporate death trap she and her team just barely escape with their lives

after the death trap she gets kidnapped by the corporation that made the death trap due to them not wanting to pay damages

again. she and her team miraculously escape with their lives

after what easily had to be 6+ months she finally arrives home

Your wife is traumatized, unwilling to talk about or address this trauma, and now has a co-dependent relationship with a rogue SecUnit

You and the family are really trying not to hold the 'rogue SecUnit' thing against the Rogue SecUnit. Not its fault. But it is sarcastic and glares a lot and is non-social and has installed literal spydrones everywhere. It's willing to kill anyone who hurts your wife or her extended family. This is, to put it bluntly, a bit of an Adjustment for everyone.

Your wife decides to retire from being a planetary leader. One one hand, you think it's a good idea for her to take the time to focus on her mental health and be with her loved ones. On the other hand, it's concerning all of this has made her give up one of her passions.

One of your older children is going on her first off-planetary survey. This is good, obviously :) It's just. you are all still stressing from the trauma of your last family member's planetary survey.

It's fine. It's going to be fine. Your brother-in-law is going to be with her, and a bunch of your wife's long-standing colleagues, and-- you have complex feelings about this-- the SecUnit. it will be fine.

It is not fine.

The SecUnit and your brother-in-law and your daughter have all been kidnapped by a mysterious force for mysterious reasons.

Now your wife-- who is meant to be on indefinite mental health leave-- is off to save them.

You and your third partner want to go with her. You want to. But you have no skills for this, and family at home you need to care for. So you stay on the sidelines, waiting, waiting, waiting.

THEY'RE OKAY EVERYONE IS OKAY

thank fuck. phew. okay. now they're going to come home and--

what do you meant they're not coming home

what do you mean your child has decided to go to university off world at the school that kidnapped her

what do you mean your wife, instead of retiring, has decided to become some sort of anti-corporate activist

Yeah okay. This is not a conversation to have over the feed with a 2+ month time delay. You need to have an in-person conversation. You'll make a family trip of it; Nana and Sofia will come with. This is a good, normal, family visit

you all get kidnapped

It's the Ponyo revolution meme.

"Murderbots I See in the City"

This fanart was inspired by one of my favorite ever art projects, @imgdist0000 's incredible "Drawing People I See in the City" series. And of course also by listening to a scene where Murderbot has to take a crowded train while I was on the train home from work. Picturing it in such a mundane situation just possessed me and this was my best thought on how to express it. Also, Naja's mobility aid thing is a space segway in my heart :)

Thanks to @tiredtransgal for checking name spellings so I, currently in the middle of the audiobook, neither looked like an idiot nor got anything important spoiled

[IDs: Photo of a dog wearing a neon yellow vest with "not friendly do not touch" in caps on the side. The caption reads "I need a vest like this."

Reblog contains digital art of Murderbot, a humanoid construct with short dark hair and grey clothes, wearing the same vest on its torso. It looks to the side and is blushing slightly, as if embarrassed. In the background Mensah, a woman with white curly hair, gives two cheerful thumbs up and Ratthi, a man with scruff and dark curly hair, presents Murderbot with mischievous joy. /end ID]

Every time I apply my oestrogen gel because of menopause I think "there is a trans woman somewhere who is also sitting in her underwear post shower waiting for the gel to dry before she finishes getting dressed" and I feel happy and a sense of kinship and camaraderie with her even though I am not a trans woman or even trans femme in anyway

But I know how to apply the gel because I saw posts from trans women how to apply it and I feel that even though are reasons for using it are different that we are not so different

So for any woman or non binary person out there who are sitting post oestrogen gel application and scrolling on their phone as they wait for it to dry...we are doing this together and this genderqueer person lovee you

[npc-dude-art]

This was all I could think about during that scene hahahahaha

[the-haiku-bot]

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
