can't think about anything but murderbot rn. song by ben thornewill
back on pushing my Ratthi Murderbot best friends agenda
Its my birthday, and ive realized ive not posted art in SO LONG, but ive never stopped drawing
so ive made myself a little birthday/new year goal, to suck it up, and just post stuff
so expect a very diverse amount of fanart and sketches in the coming weeks
starting with MURDERBOT, a series im obsessed with, new book in the series is out this month, Message me if you want to yell about it.
also let's never forget ratthi likes sanctuary moon. murderbot says something cool and wise and everyone's nodding while it gets two seperate messages from art and ratthi that just say. i know what episode that's from.
I bought "Network Effect" in Japanese because of who I am as a person.
Anyway, I will be sharing things, but the first thing is that upon meeting Three,
Ratthi calls Three kimi きみ
(バリッシューエストランザ社には、きみは死んだと伝いる)
Amena calls Three anata あなた
(あなた、名前はあるの?)
And ART calls Three omae おまえ
(この人間たちに害意を待っているなら、おまえを分解して)*
That's like...
You (friendly!)
You (textbook)
(FUCK) You
*Also that threat is SO MUCH MORE SICK (to me) IN JAPANESE. Also just... so rude. I love that Japanese has so many levels of politeness so ART can use none of them.
Conversations with murderbot are always a bit of a minefield because occasionally it will drop the most devastating piece of info totally casually and then move on while its human friends are left reeling.
Like one day they're having a watch party or something, and ratthi will look over, stare at murderbot for a second, then say in a surprised voice, "oh, i didn't know that secunits' organic parts age the way humans do!"
Murderbot is quiet for a few seconds as it studies itself from one of its drone cameras, sees the fine wrinkles starting to line the skin of its face. Then it says in a wondering voice, "I didn't know that either. We usually don't live long enough to experience significant changes to our appearance."
And then an explosion happens on the display and murderbot goes back to paying attention to its show while all the humans around it stare at each other in abject horror. Arada's on the verge of tears and wants to hug murderbot so badly. Instead, she just hides her face in Overse's shoulder.
Mensah has to leave the room.
