I love this series.

me, unloading a fitted sheet from the dryer: *squinting* what's that you've got in your mouth

fitted sheet: nothing :)))))))

me, prying open its twisted jaws: na-ah!!! give it to me RIGHT now!!

fitted sheet: *resentfully spits out a wad of 3 very damp dishtowels, a pillowcase, and a pathetically sodden washcloth*

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

Entering the Murderbot fandom as a fictional hug enjoyer is agonizing because the two characters I most desperately want to see hugging each other can't because one of them doesn't like hugs and the other is a spaceship.

I'm reading The Murderbot Diaries (Network Effect, so, spoiler alert), and man, Murderbot's relationship with ART makes me insane. It's like, you're an insufferable asshole. You're my best friend. Saying that word makes me retch. You're the only person in the universe who could possibly understand what it's like to be me. I can't possibly understand what it's like to be you. I must look like an ant to you. I've put my unconscious body in your hands and let you alter it. We both love our humans to the point of destruction. You've killed people to protect me and my friends. You only did it because you were between two jobs and bored. We watch TV shows together. I saw you have an emotional breakdown about a historical drama. You could kill me in a hundred different ways. I've brutally murdered several people to avenge you. You were ready to kill all my friends to save yours. I've brought you back from the dead. You're keeping us prisoner. I'm your only chance of saving your friends. I've lived and traveled inside your body, and you've been a passenger in my brain. We don't even know each other's real names.

Murderbot and ART's whole dynamic is so hilarious bc even though they're not actually Dating (that's 'gross human shit' etc), their relationship has all the codependency and drama of a torrid soap opera affair anyway. Murderbot had a breakdown when it thought ART was dead. ART threatened to bomb a whole planet when Murderbot was in danger. They had a baby together. And yet whenever anyone dares to imply that they might (😳😳) care about each other, Murderbot reacts like a middleschooler who's been accused by their parents of having a crush. Teeth gritted with rage "STOP talking about me and ART's 'will-they-won't-they thing', there IS no 'will-they-won't-they thing,' I'm AROACE" and Ratthi's like "Oh, we know!:) We meant 'will-they-won't-they admit they're friends'"

Some Asshole: solve this case u piece of shit

Sherlock Holmes: That will be £10000 sorry I don’t make the rules

i really love the phrase “with all due respect” because it doesn’t specify how much respect is due. could be none. bitch.
