ratthi, after seeing dozens of dead people, who were slaughtered by rogue secunits, upon discovering that his own secunit is rogue: i need to ragebait it

#i still think this is the most iconic ratthi moment #murderbot #the murderbot diaries #<>#ratthi murderbot

i like to imagine secunit doing its narration out loud during its memory rebuild at the end of exit strategy, kind of like a human in the hospital on the good drugs. david after dentist type beat.

imagine ratthi hearing that whole bit about being “my human friend” and how pre-failure murderbot was Very Sure that was accurate. just 🥺🥺🥺 the biggest wettest most emotional anime eyes this side of the corporation rim. overse would find him crumpled outside the door weeping. i believe this in my soul

#that ‘okay. okay.’ you can’t tell me that was just bc secunit didn’t remember where it was yet #my man was having a breakdown over being loved #tmbd #the murderbot diaries #murderbot #ratthi murderbot #dr ratthi #exit strategy

So Ratthi is not Murderbot’s favorite human. That is Mensah and they have a very unique and tight bond.

However, reading System Collapse, I have come to a conclusion

Ratthi is like MB’s cousin.

Yeah they love each other and understand each other in a way that strangers can’t, but also Ratthi pisses MB off SO MUCH and yet it loves him. Murderbot says that Iris is to Art what Ratthi is to MB

Love you little shit Ratthi, you’re an important part of the World

#the murderbot diaries #murderbot #tmbd #murderhelion #ratthi #ratthi murderbot #how mb thinks about Ratthi vs the rest of the presaux crew (besides mensah) is crazy #like he and gurathin are tied for second favorite humans #not that murderbot would EVER admit that #but also he is always helping out MB #like making vocal covers and excuses #mb doesn’t think about him THAT much compared to Mensah #but Ratthi is def up there #bro loves Ratthi #never will admit it

Been crying over this immaculate fic I had to doodle a bit

#The Murderbot Diaries #TMBD #Ratthi Murderbot #Dr. Ratthi #Thank you so much tumblr user lautreguin for recommending this fic

ART and mb are obviously drift compatible and I would say Mensah and Amena are also drift compatible with mb. I was gonna ask if we thought that Ratthi would be drift compatible with mb but after thinking about it I’m saying no, because even if they could achieve drift I think mb would be too worried about Ratthi getting into danger to actually work together with him.

However, I think Ratthi and Gurathin are drift compatible.

#chit chat #murderbot #Ratthi murderbot #mb worries about everyone’s safety all the time but it Does work with art and amena and mensah #but it locks ratthi in the shuttle every time lol

can we talk about how excited ratthi was to see murderbot again? 🥹
