Thinking about murderbot being a rental unit and how that interacts with its trauma

Bc like. The most important bots it meets are all from vastly different situations and backgrounds than it. ART has been valued and loved by humans its whole life - its dad is literally the captain and its sister is one of its crew! And they clearly cherish, love, and value ART. Miki is a less sophisticated bot, but also so clearly loved and cherished. They ordered it to protect itself! And it had the capability to reject that order! That says a lot about the love, trust, and mutual respect they had for one another.

Even Three, another secunit, seems pretty different from murderbot. It was made by the company it’s working for and the vibe I got was that it and the other two secunits were sort of permanently assigned to that ship?

Which, look. Humans imprint on anything and build familiarity. The more time we spend with something the more sentimental we might get about it. If Three was on that ship for a long time, I wouldn’t be shocked if at least some of the humans on board were pretty chill or even affectionate towards it (in a condescending and dehumanizing way probably, but still). And even so, the length of time spent around the same secunits clearly allowed Three to establish bonds with its fellow secunits if nothing else!

But being a rental unit means murderbot went from group to group. The other secunits it worked with were always Temporary Company (will never see them again after this contract likely) and also Active Threats to murderbot bc they’re the most likely to notice murderbot is rogue and be forced to report it. Even the humans were Temporary, so even if there were Nice Humans they’d be swapped out with Bad Humans soon enough.

Like. No wonder it insists it doesn’t have friends. If you don’t have Feelings about people then those feelings can’t be hurt when you’re inevitably torn away and never allowed to see them again (or have your very memories of them torn out of you and erased)

(Feelings about media are okay because the media can go with you, right?)

It’s funny to point at Three when murderbot makes sweeping generalization about secunits bc it’s an unreliable narrator but also. Just having feelings about how specifically being a rental unit effects murderbot and its relationships to others

#murderbot #murderbot diaries #the murderbot diaries #maybe I’m projecting #as a kid I moved every two to three years until my brother hit high school and my mum put her foot down #but yeah maybe I relate to murderbots difficulty with friends #and constantly having to accept never seeing people again #even when it cares about those people #but yeah murderbot had literally no stability in its life at all #and so when preservation bought it and offered it stability #I’m not shocked it ran the other way at top speed #it doesn’t know how!!#so now it’s just hurling itself into danger left and right #also it does real bad with stability #like yes it could hide away and watch media and be safe #but why would it when it can pick up clients and imprint on them and put itself in insane danger for them?

I had a thought today about all that vampires lose in the twilight lore. Sure sure they’re fast and strong and invulnerable BUT they lose the chance to earn things because of that. The Cullens are rich but like…that just happens when you invest for three centuries. They can lift incredible amounts of weight…but just by nature and not because they’ve built up to it. They build projects and make paintings and learn…but they will always lack the satisfaction that comes from managing those accomplishments amidst the regular demands of life. Edward was seventeen…he never got the chance to earn anything by the sweat of his brow or the burning of the midnight oil.

Beyond just the bloodlust, they miss out on the regular daily challenges that make our time and pleasure meaningful. Something that is easily overlooked by teenagers reading a love story but honestly something heartbreaking to contemplate.

#twilight #the twilight saga #edward cullen #tts #tts discourse #to be clear I don’t think this robs them of all opportunity for meaningful work #but simply that our flow of time is dictated in some large degree #by the difficulty of the tasks we pursue and the effort made #also our brains are not wired to live without physical effort it makes you crazy #and it just seems like a form of torture to me now (as an adult)#to run great distances without ever getting tired #to read and study with perfect recall and no effort required to master the subject #to be removed from all the essential rhythms of daily life permanently…I do think in actuality all vampires would end up insane #it would break anyone

Shaking post canon Maxim and VR-LA viciously

I have so many thoughts about them ahhhhhh

Like, Maxim bonding with VR-LA’s family until they also become his in a way, their long distant inter-dimensional pining, VR-LA not knowing how to deal with Maxims attempts at being a little more affectionate (he’s literally just putting his hand in VR-LA’s shoulder) so the wizard just overheats and dies

Like

The slowest but softest of slow burns. That’s the guy that pulled Maxim out of his depression spiral and gave him a new life to look forward. And to VR-LA this is the person who pushed him to start seeing a happy future as a thing which should be fought for. Like. Neither of them did all the work for the other but they both gave each other the wake up call. They made each other better and I’m so not normal about it. They showed each other that there was a fucking future where they could both be happy and maybe even together

AHHHHHHH

#rolling with difficulty #rwd #vr-la rwd #maxim rwd #professionals rwd #going insane #like sure their relationship was rocky and had bad spots #but without those rifts neither of them would ever have been pushed to change #it’s Maxim pulling away from VR-LA that first prompts VR-LA to think about what he’s doing with his life #like it was finbar leaving and settling down that made VR-LA see what that future could possibly represent #but if Maxim hadn’t prompted him to think about what he was doing with his life #would he have bothered to consider it as an option for himself?#or would another death on the ship be all he could envision #and it’s VR-LA’s stubbornly consistent presence in Maxim’s that pulls down his walls until he starts to feel something again #he showed maxim that pain is worth feeling and life worth living and I fuckign love them #chewing on them

Reposting this one on its own bc. It means So Much To Me. It means EVERYTHING TO ME.

#fire emblem #feh #i kinda already said it but the body language here DOES drive me insane. like. oooughhf #also like you give me an inch i'm taking a mile. when it comes to askr family.#LIKE how much physical affection do you think was normal for them? how much seemed genuine #and how much seemed like a social ritual? but the performance of something doesn't always negate Real Feelings in there #also sorry i have been playing w SOMETHING in the way back of my mind.#specific alfonseisms where like. where the hell did you pick that up from. you extremely standoffish emotionally constipated man.#like. sharena clearly in every way takes after henriette the most. both naturally AND on purpose #but. what if... what if.... alfonse growing up Did pick up a few henrietteisms. he's shaped to be like gustav for sure #but for my own nefarious purposes. the idea that alfonse has this extremely doting side to him.#LIKE for the record this is just me Saying Things having feelings and less about what's portrayed here LMFAO #like i really should be making a separate post about it. but. these are thoughts i have a lot of difficulty #putting into words. so. tag ramble. and the art that prompted it. ect.#fe henriette #fe alfonse #sharena #MY SWEETIE PEES....#official work #fe kiran #fe anna #SORRY I GOT LOST IN THE SAUCE

I was dreaming of the wind

Relationship: Mello/Near Rating: T Chapters: 1/1 Words: 1,485 Series: sweet atonement

Near wakes up and Mello is not here. (Set roughly a year after the events of sweet atonement and please don't follow me into the sun.)

[read on AO3]

#death note #death note fic #mellonear #meronia #saltposting #saltwriting #Technically this can even count as a January 26th fic!! It's still January so it's barely late!!!!#Absolutely insane turnaround on this fic however. Like it took us just three days from idea to posting?#Insane. This has never happened to us before (that I remember).#anyway: this is basically an exploration of Inner Communication Difficulties between Near and his Mello introject #and the practically-a-rite-of-passage system situation of #“Everybody else is gone is it forever? Was I making it all up all along? :(” (spoilers: no on both counts)#< this hits very terribly for Near due to multiple factors but the fic is Not irresolved angst. It Ends Well jsyk.#fic: sweet atonement #fic: I was dreaming of the wind #(also taking Additional Tag Suggestions because quite frankly racking my brain for literally any more potential tags and. Failing #but I feel like I'm forgetting an important thing or two lmao)

i hate this god damn fight

#deltarune spoilers #technically #ch3 optional boss #i haven't been keeping track of my attempts but i'm pretty sure i'm well into the double digits by now #i beat jevil on my second try and spamton on my first. this fucking difficulty spike is insane. why this #considering replaying the whole game a second time just to get devilsknife instead of jevilstail #i probably won't do that. i think i can win if i keep at it. but this shit is Grueling #and anyway i beat ch3-4 already and i know everything that happens so this is just for my personal pride #i will get that fucking shadow crystal

Is it just me or is the hp checks for event challenge stages getting crazy these days

#<- gettig oneshot by the fawn aoe in the 3rd challange #if they're gonna spike the difficulty i'd rather they remove the lvl cap. having to pot/bond for more hp is kinda insane #or add event sp stages #the previous 2-3 events was also like this... i remember struggling in mirage of scales challenges especially #then there's the lost relics/trials difficulty spikes...#nu carnival #n:cposting

Guys is it queer to kill your coworker's wife and then convince him to stop raising his children to work in an investigation and when that doesn't work further convince him to balance being a single parent of two along with the investigation because you believe him to be capable of anything all while you have a child of your own who do you do not raise as you consider child rearing to be unimportant, and then be convinced by said coworker to start a co-parenting situation with two of your other coworkers who also have children of their own that they don't take care off.

#gerhard fra #you insane person #i think the most interesting implication of this is gerhard's faith in delico's abilities #and also how seriously the shows potrays the difficulties in balancing both childern and work something that the world makes women do fo #something that women are expected to do with no problems #its very intriguing #dali delico #because he is the coworker in question #delico's nursery #say what you will of this whole thing but this is definetly not straight

may i submit for your humble consideration (in the fucked up ship bingo) mr-sn/dx-tr and mystra/vr-la

MR-SN and DX-TR:

They don’t read as romantic to be but I can totally see some queer platonic shit going on with them. The certainly have an Energy my god

They should both die tragically and I’m so very glad it happened even tho Ouch. If I ever get around to writing my revenant MR-SN au they’re going to be real interesting

VR-LA/Mystra:

I have less thoughts on this other than it’s very funny to me. Snarky bitch of a cleric is nonetheless god’s favourite princess. They could be cute but also they could be Very Weird about it and they should be

Sorry Gale but your woman got stolen by this shiny robot twink
