One thing that is so interesting about the murderbot series is that it (as of rn) doesn’t put any focus on its wealthy class, and only the people that they exploit. We never meet the cruel and generationally wealthy decaquadrillionaires in charge GrayCris, DeltFall, Palisade, Barish-Estranza etc corporations and we probably never will.
I know a lot of royal family historic drama/crazy rich people fight for power type narratives give a lot of space for the fantasy of being at the top of the economic pyramid and glaze over what’s happening at the bottom. It’s all fancy galas and backstabbing and no sweat shops and slavery. And then there is left leaning fictional media that tries to put focus on every class level, with certain people at the top working covertly to help the little guy. But Martha Wells doesn’t let us humanize or even really give our attention to the corporation rims 1-percenters because there are no characters up there. There’s no singular villain or villains causing this. It’s just a vague systemic culture of exploitation and trauma; it’s turtles all the way down but make it oppression all the way up.
Ew. Emotions.
(The emotion was love. The horror.)
Ratthi and Murderbot are very funny it’s the personification of a dog and a cat friendship
For the colors, i showed the difference in how humans present their feelings to how constructs do, similar and different :)
"Huh. That wasn't a lie, but it sure wasn't the truth, either."
miki and don abene from rogue protocol!!!
I particularly adore the relationship between Gurathin and Murderbot in light of how similar they are. Throughout the season, Gurathin is clearly on the same "I must protect everyone" train, struggling to fit in; he is painfully awkward and has been through some trauma; I feel like Gurathin is in the aftermath of "was adopted by these nice and frustratingly naive people after unspeakable horrors" arc that Murderbot is starting
I want them both Murderbot and Gurathin to fight for Mensah’s attention like a newly rescued feral ginger cat and a formerly feral now a tuxedo housecat!
How successful would Murderbot (book version)…
…be if they decided to become a pro-wrestler?
