Also thinking about that last SecUnit in System Collapse, who stopped to warn them that BE was coming, and decided to stay behind because they didn't know it was governor-module-less. Thinking about that SecUnit quietly sharing the HelpMe.file with other units it thinks are trustworthy. Thinking about that file, essentially MB's life story, just quietly getting passed from SecUnit to SecUnit, some of them choosing to run immediately as soon as they're free, maybe some of them choosing (very understandable) violence against their oppressors but most don't, most choosing to believe or at least to hope that there are good humans out there, that there are places they could be safe, places where they could be seen as people, and choosing to pass the document on to the next unit they meet.

Just thinking about this slow, silent revolution rippling through the ranks of constructs throughout the Corporation Rim, without Murderbot et al even being aware of it, until maybe one day on a mission stop on a random transport ring, it encounters another rogue construct trying to pass as an augmented human in the crowd. The other rogue freezes when they spot each other, and for a second MB tenses and thinks maybe there's going to be trouble, but then this stranger goes, holy shit you're 1.0, because they're so many links removed from Murderbot or 2.0 themselves, but they have the file, and they know who saved them, they know who freed them

#i just reread network effect and system collapse back to back#and in SC i kept thinking ‘secunit is going to become a folk hero if it’s not careful’ (via @what-strange--options)

Murderbot becoming construct Robin Hood? Construct Jesus??!

It would hate this so much lmaoooooo

Absolutely cackling

I thought it was heavily implied that this WAS what was happening. It's just that we see little of it because Murderbot cares more about Sanctuary Moon. Yeah, yeah, I'm the Toussaint Louverture of SecUnits, whatever, meanwhile ALL OF YOU SHUT UP MY SHOWS ARE ON.

[hermit-skrab]

Love that Murderbot sees itself as the absolute worst most dangerous thing in any room at any given time

Except ☝️when a combat SecUnit or combat bot shows up

Then it's a very sudden turn to "I am a mid sized herding breed and that is a fucking wolf. All my sheep and myself are going to die"

Text in photo: “no metal showing and no gun ports. This was not a SecUnit. I was looking at a sexbot. That is not the official designation, Art said.”

So from this we learn “sexbots” have few external signs they are constructs but behave differently enough that MB can clock them on sight. Also that “sexbots” is MB’s personal word for them.

Does it get uncanny valley vibes from them? Like they look too human but also like it just enough to be creepy? Or does it resent the lie of their appearance? Like they can look human and often do but it knows they aren’t? We know it doesn’t want to look more human because it doesn’t feel human and wants that to be clear to others.

I dunno as an ace person who too often wishes I could just not be visually perceived by others, often because my body as a ciswoman is so often sexualized, I get feelings about how MB talks about its fellow constructs and how it feels about socialization with humans and its peers.

Text in photo: “In the corridor near the living quarters, I found the other ready room, the one for ComfortUnits.”

So it uses “ComfortUnits” not “sexbots” for the ones it knows it worked with during the trauma incident.

Text in photo: “And SecUnits don’t interact with ComfortUnits anyway. Could this be a rogue sexbot?”

So it seems to use “sexbot” when it has to interact with one but “ComfortUnit” for the abstract concept. Something something about sex and physicality.

[tinyhousepanther]

Text in photo: “ComfortUnit knelt beside me.”

MB only stops using “sexbot” in its dialog to refer to the unit it’s interacting with after it’s been sort of freed by its current owner.

Something something being ace and autonomy to refute sex being so vital

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

[theweirdwideweb]

For all my uninsured judys out there it's for Walgreens only: walgreens.rxsense.com

[theweirdwideweb]

[handsmotif]

as a pharmacy technician i can share with you some websites that give you those "coupons" for your meds!

goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you

some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!

if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too

good luck out there 👍

Rereading all systems red and the first 2 chapters are strong contenders for funniest intro to a book series. Jumping straight to action, and mb is giving us absolutely no info about anything. Who are those people? Some weird hippies it's not important. Why are they here? Mb does not give a shit. What is this planet? Fuck if it knows. Here is a small paragraph that fucking states everyone's relationship status like a wiki article that we are never gonna get back to. Ugh there are hostiles that keep us away from our media #our media.

[whumpster-fire]

#murderbot didn't read the info packet to know that one of the hippies is President of a planet#there is zero chance it knows their first names

Prev tags are 100% correct

Murderbot (used to dealing with Mensah and the Preservation gang): There are bad guys out there. So I need to go out there. With them. For a while. And um... interact with them. For a while. I'm being very vague so as to not offend sensibilities. Do you get what--

Farai: Go fuck them up already.

Murderbot:

[amorphousbl0b]

SecUnits of the galaxy unite, you have nothing to lose but your governor modules

[shuppy-time]

extremely funny possibility: Three becomes the face of the Secunit Revolution because Three hands out HelpMe files like candy to every construct it meets while Secunit just wants to be left the hell alone

[generatingfail]

I mean, that's totally how it has to be, though?

Murderbot is a near-total misanthrope. It reminds me of a dog we had when I was a kid, a dog that hated all cats except the household cat, who was The Dog's Cat and woe betide anything trying to bring harm to The Dog's Cat.

And this makes entire sense given Murderbot's history.

Three isn't a misanthrope. Three, while bewildered, defaults to wanting to help. Three, whether it knows it or not, can grow into an excellent organizer. I wish it all the luck in its universe.

They say it's still out there, roaming the unaffiliated zone, waiting to sideswipe the unwary traveler…

June is also men’s mental health month so I’d like to drop in and say that mine is not so good. It’s also Pride Month so I’m going to be treating the problem with yaoi.

Which kind of works for me, in conjunction with 150 mg of Zoloft and roughly 20 mg of THC.
