My gift for the 2024 MBD gift exchange!! This is for @silverstreams , the prompt was "Murderbot and ART get into an argument over something silly/stupid, and the crew is trying their best to not get pulled in but get pulled in anyway," which made me think of one thing: the classic wicked witch of the east audio.

#FORGOT ABOUYT THIS ONE #STILL PEAK #Cant wait to see murderbot arguing about the sanctuary moon plot points in the show

ART just came alive as a character, and it’s so cool when that happens, when you kind of have a character sort of buried in the story. When they actually come on stage it’s like, oh, this is going to be an important character. And the more I worked on [Artificial Condition], the relationship between them became central to that story, not necessarily Murderbot finding out about its past on this moon, but that relationship. So after [Artificial Condition] was done and I was starting to work on [Rogue Protocol], I was really thinking about Murderbot’s relationships with the other characters and thinking... it’s like I really feel like ART is probably the love of Murderbot’s life, even though that’s not how they see it. That this is central, it’s going to be a really important relationship, and in some ways it makes a lot more sense for Murderbot’s most important relationship – I mean, its most important relationship with a human is Dr. Mensah – that it would have a relationship with another being who is more like it than a human is – so yeah, people who see it that way are pretty correct. That was what I was thinking about when I was writing it.

~Martha Wells, in an interview with SmartBitchesTrashyBooks, regarding the writing of Artificial Condition and how Network Effect is an aroace agender romantic suspense novel.

#OP THIS KILLS LMFAOO YEASSSSSSSS #Murderbot & ART identical. both awkward freaks #ART vacuuming every surface and bullying all its crew into good behaviour to impress Mensah and then it says this shit to her #IT CRYING AT THE END HELP #It wants to be murderbots silly rabbit so fucking bad #op im in lvoe with you thank you for making this im looping it

hello greetings! 1) love the blog title, pacrim 4 lyfe. 2) just a heads up, i think your recent mb+ART art (lol) isn’t showing up in your personal art tag ?? might be cuz tumblr only indexes the first handful of tags and you put it at the end but just wanted to let you know *3* also i really love it a lot, it’s great. your designs are great. thanks for sharing your art (and your ART) with us, have a nice day!!!

1) THANK U Pacrim 4 Lyfe 👊 Newt is my og special guy 2) Don't worry about that !! I don't use the squiddlyart tag to be searchable Throughout All Of Tumblr, it's just there for searching for my art posts within my own blog. The indexing thing only applies for tumblr-wide searches afaik - searching on just one blog will bring up any tag used on the post no matter how many down it is. I appreciate the thought tho !! Thank you for the heads up !! 3) LOL I'm glad you like my silly murderbots. ART is such a nightmare for me to draw cause I cannot draw vehicles n spaceships AT ALL but drawing its drones I can just about manage :P My philosophy for drawing Murderbot is trying to find the perfect intersection of a Shadow the Hedgehog Gijinka and this image

#squiddles #u have a nice day also !!!#thank u for trying to warn me unfortunately theres nothing to warn about bcos im using tags wrong On Pawpose #I gotta knuckle down and finish that other animatic. I wanted to get it out for murderhelion week but I only HEARD about murderhelion week #like 4 days into it #so :(#but alas ! she shall be finished anyway. someday #carbon dating each segment of the animation by what my murderbot design looks like

Finished System Collapse the other day & Murderbot has never been more relatable

#murderbot #the murderbot diaries #system collapse #perihelion #asshole research transport #ratthi #ayda mensah #amena #googling to make sure I'm spelling amena right. bcos I misspelled Ratthis name in a previous post and haven't recovered from the shame #Sadly names pass thru my brain like sand thru time or whatever so. vibes only. i remember the sound not the letters. nightmare #Anyway murderbot mental health moment: the book was alot of fun #i need to do a reread now knowing what REDACTED meant the whole time #cause the wife and I were in torture thru the whole book like what the FUCK did murderbot DO #we were CONVINCED it had stood in the middle of ARTs lounge & loudly announced suicidal intent or something #or like yelled at everyone for risking their lives to come back and retrieve equipment <= it means itself #the combo misery and also sort of relief finding out it was literally just that murderbot has Been Through It #& is Suffering the Consequences #was kind of immense #anyway murderbot who is a crazy little asshole. its so me #Shadow the Hedgehog Gijinka looking motherfucker. I gotta pin down my design for it better #hope the memory visions r comprehensible but tbh whatever if theyre not #squiddlyart

Love is Love is Love & so on & so forth

#op I need you to know my wife and I are never not talking about the way you draw Murderbots facial expressions

Finally figured out how to draw my favourite character in all of fiction. Only took me *checks watch* Six Years

#murderbot #the murderbot diaries #idk if theres other fandom tags #secunit #squiddlyart #havent posted in so long I have actually forgotten my tagging systems. anyway murderbot is my best friend #Just scribbling and posting in the meantime to motivate me to finish the lil animatic #loads of time to draw murderbot now that im chained to my room for fuckin 6 weeks lmfao #still cant draw ART but by god martha wells will force me to learn vehicle design & sci fi environment art if it kills me #still caught between brown n red eyes for it #i like bestowing big beautiful brown eyes on my faves but on the other hand the red eyes make it look like a shadow the hedgehog gijinka. s #I think red is my fave for future stuff. simply too cute #my main struggle w murderbot is that in my mind that 2cm ART shaved off its legs made it like 5'4 #like no matter how tall i try to draw it it always comes out short #but alas. ill stfu
