Oh, Farai. I can see why Dr Mensah loves you. Murderbot and Farai are best friends now.

It's just so fucking upsetting seeing really cool and complicated co-lead female characters in sci-fi:

dismissed as weak for being flawed

put on an imaginary pedestal of too perfect

And both lead to them not being talked about in any favourable light, no exploration, no wild takes, no serious breakdowns, no trying different lenses, no shipping or gen or adventures or wild fantasy AUs.

The fucking co-leads and don't even warrant a mention in reviews.

OKAY THIS IS WHY I USE PRONOUNS IN MY EMAIL

Six chapters into the audiobook for Platform Decay before I realized that Farai is a woman's name.

Six fucking chapters!

You Only Live Once by ESE (SecurityUnit)

Part 2 of Mensahbotcule - Murderbot's queerplatonic exploration of its relationship with Mensah and of itself.

It's here! Part 2 of the Mensahbotcule, 14k of emotional slice of life fluff, shopping, relationship negotiations, the odd bit of SecUnit trauma, and a bath house.

(Written prior to Platform Decay, which then CANONISED MY FIC and I made minor adjustments to align with Platform Decay) (like really minor) (because wow did I guess right)
