Love the moment in System Collapse when Ratthi makes a joke about round hatches being scarier than square ones, SecUnit decides to fact check this by searching its entire media library for scary things coming out of doors and doing statistical analysis on the shape of the doors and discovers he's right, and ART goes "You wasted processing space on that?" And then ART gets sucked into participating in the inane conversation within seconds.

Shout out to Aziraphale and Crowley for being such a great example of enemies to lovers despite having never been enemies or lovers
Someone posted a while back about the narrative style of the Murdrbot Diaries, and that while we know who Murderbot is talking to early on (Mensah's letter, etc) and we understand HelpMe.file we don't know who Murderbot is talking to the rest of the time.
And Platform Decay gives us some interesting clues. The one that gets me is it's whole little aside about recognizing ART like recognizing a familiar heartbeat. Firstly, fucking adorable. Secondly, the way it talks about it implies that it's telling this narrative to humans. It's trying to explain this experience to humans but isn't sure if humans can recognize a familiar heartbeats so it's not sure if it's explanation makes sense to it's audience.
I had kind of thought the narrative might be for other potential rogue secunits because we knew that was going to happen (ilu3) but apparently that's not who this narrative is for.
I also thought "I did know, I just didn't want a record of it." Is fascinating because like...it's not like we can't guess what it wanted to do there. Who does it think is going to see this record that wouldn't be totally sympathetic?
Murderbot, who are you talking to?
Sofi: We are gonna steal an airship! Murderbot: No we are going to steal a tourist attraction 4 hours into flying the Weenie Hut Jr Rainbow Wimsey Sightseeing Flying Bumper-car Hostiles: Never fear we heard your distress call! Murderbot: OK now we are going to steal an airship
I hate having emotions about real humans instead of fake ones, it just leads to stupid moments like this.

I love the thought of the new avengers showing up in doomsday with bob in tow and everyone else being like
“who the fuck is that”
“bob”
“why is he here”
“he’s our friend”

Pixel post dividers for everyone! It's not much, but feel free to use them if you'd like. I don't know the ideal size for these, so let me know if they're too tall. I can make them a bit shorter next time.

[ID: 8 sketches of scenes from The Murderbot Diaries where Murderbot expresses discomfort with being touched.
In the first, Done Abene takes a hold of Miki's shoulder. Murderbot, who is watching through Miki's eyes, falls off its perch and shouts "OH FUCK don't grab me".
In the second, Murderbot is standing awkwardly worried next to Mensah, just after she has been harassed by a journalist in the short story Home. It says, "You can hug me if you need to." Mensah replies "No, it's alright. I know it makes you uncomfortable" and Murderbot's face softens as it smiles.
In the third, Maro is hugging herself while looking at Murderbot and says "This is for you."
In the fourth, Murderbot thinks to itself while standing next to Mensah "If I kill this human... Mensah won't trust me anymore. She will not stand near enough to touch (without touching, ew).
In the fifth, Arada gazes up at Murderbot with a wobbly smile while Murderbot says "No hugging. It's in my contract. Do you need me to call someone for emotional support."
In the sixth, Murderbot holds a human up by the scruff of their uniform work jacket and says "Do not touch Security Consultant Rin."
In the seventh, Ratthi asks from offscreen "Do you have a relationship with this bot?" At Murderbot's disgruntled face, he says "Not like that."
In the eighth, Murderbot frowns sternly at Ratthi. Ratthi says "It was a sexual discussion." Murderbot instantly leaves, leaving behind a blank dotted outline while it hovers at pace away down the hall. End ID.]
Compilation video: Murderbot being touch averse for fifteen minutes aroace

The funniest part of A New Hope is that Luke Skywalker is a 19 year old who has not locked in yet and plays with toys and sleeps in his childhood bedroom at his aunt and uncle’s house and Leia Organa is a 19 year old with a mission to save the galaxy from fascism. Luke has never left his hometown, Leia just watched her planet be blown up. He’s peeved his uncle is asking him to do his chores, she’s imprisoned for resisting the government. You relate to them both but they’re on complete opposite sides of the 19 year old life stage spectrum.
sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.
I don't even have the energy to screenshot and respond to your tags- what the actual fuck is wrong with you? "the cops are scared and rightfully so" "mental health calls are the scariest for cops" OH so this isn't about the safety of psychotic & manic people this is about piggy feelings?
and no, actually, this is not USA specific and no, actually, people from other countries should not ignore this post. police violence and sanism weren't invented in the US and they are certainly not unique to here. if you (or anyone) thinks that this bullshit doesn't happen elsewhere then you are not listening.
cops r Some Guy with a Gun
do we want Some Guy with a Gun in this situation? answer is usually "NO"
This is legitimately useful reframing. A while ago I started replacing the word "cop" in my vocabulary with "a man with a gun." It really puts things into perspective.
This homeless person is making me uncomfortable. Should I call [a man with a gun]?
My neighbor is having a loud party. Should I get [a man with a gun] involved?
There are some teenagers skateboarding. Do you think [a man with a gun] would get rid of them for me?
It makes it very clear what you're saying. I can call a man with a gun to threaten or hurt someone mildly inconveniencing me. You're not calling the cops, you're calling A MAN WITH A GUN into a situation that does not warrant a firearm handled by a volatile lunatic who will not be held accountable for his actions.

The cards see all.
Thinking about that post about how the two cyborg genders in the Corporation Rim are 'soldier' and 'sex worker' and part of Murderbot's journey is figuring out which parts of its assigned gender role it wants to remix and keep vs which parts it needs to discard bc I agree with it a lot. but also that binary leaves out the fact that the non-cyborg full robots have additional delightful robot gender roles such as 'taxi cab', 'motel-scale roomba', 'draft horse', and 'HAL but chaotic good or at least neutral'
