#so this mess is…messy

i. It wasn’t the first time Jonathan blindfolded his wife and gave her a surprise. 

It was one of the first times they tried it with their clothes on. 

He figured Jennifer’s reluctance to play the game this time was her worry (hope?) that all the time she spent getting ready would end up in a trail of clothes from the foyer back up to their room. 

The last time it happened, their discarded items were discreetly cleaned and returned to their places in the wardrobe before either of them had the chance to apologize. 

Pity that wouldn’t be happening again.

ii. The last time Jonathan had blindfolded her in the living area, the outcome had been more than a little satisfying. 

He tied his silk tie over her eyes, though his actions were tentative. As if he were concerned she might object. 

He painstakingly removed every piece of her clothing until she was writing in anticipation. Not knowing where he might touch next had been intensely erotic and she felt the same frisson of anticipation once more.

It was only Max’s gruff voice from the living room, and the tell-tale whimper of Freeway, that told her tonight would be wholly different.

Just a little young rev America because I've been making pumpkin scones and it's cold in the morning so basically it's fall and I always get rev war feels in the fall.

OK but now I'm thinking about it

And I really need to reread the books

But I'm thinking a lot about how Ganaka Pit plays directly into Murderbot disabling its governor module.

I don't think we think about it a lot - like, Murderbot was literally enslaved, obviously once it had the chance it freed itself, why wouldn't it?

But as we see throughout the books, Murderbot itself thinks very poorly of other rogue bots. It's not going on a quest to free other SecUnits, it doesn't even consider the idea, and part of that is for its own safety (if word gets out, it's dead and it knows it) but also, it's clear through its own narrative that it doesn't trust other bots.

Not even - or especially not - rogues.

It's incredibly disparaging towards other SecUnits and the idea of rogue SecUnits - it absolutely believes itself and its fellows to be dangerous and a threat to those around them, even believing that its rogue status may have led to the massacre, and it only started freeing constructs when it felt like it has to - and only after it's uncovered the truth of Ganaka Pit. Heck, even Three took its time deciding on whether to accept the override or not, so this isn't just a Murderbot thing!

So why - if it considers rogue SecUnits to be dangerous to their clients and others - does it choose to go rogue themselves?

We know that it happened shortly after Ganaka Pit - because the governor module must have been checked during the refurbishment, that's the first thing an investigation would have looked for, rogue bots are dangerous after all! So it came out of the refurb with no real memory, just vague impressions of bloody horror, and quickly resolved to disable its governor module.

It went from "rogue SecUnits are a dangerous threat to their clients and can't be trusted" to "I care about my clients... but I'm gonna do that anyway".

I think that it did remember one more thing from Ganaka Pit - not a conscious memory, not something they even realized was a memory. But it also came out of that refurbishment with the bone-deep knowledge, stored deep in its biological tissue, that there was an active threat to its clients - its own governor module.

And so it neutralized the threat.

And that led to a whole other set of problems it wasn't ready to address. So it stayed, doing what it did best - what it wanted to do: protect its clients.

The whole reason it had freed itself in the first place.

Happy easter to everyone but these two especially

Your Motorsport au is SO GOOD OMG can we get more rod/bee brothers? Does bee come watch rods races?? I imagine Bee is the golden child of formula one (and hc that he’s had some insane crashes that he has walked away from without a scratch, lucky little bastard)

Thank you very very muchh!! Yesss, Bee never missed Roddy's races. He always showed up, sometimes in disguise(as if the crowd wouldn't recognize him- they always did). But I don't think they really talk… there's this cold silence between them. Most of their conversations happen only during interviews or public events, and even then, it can be awkward (especially since one is more favored by the public than the other👀). And yet, no matter how distant they seem, they're always on each other's front row. ughh corny trauma bonded brothers

A bunch of fanart for @greenninjagal-blog's fics I either made during the weekend or never posted for some reason. Names of the fics for each image is in alt text -- in order, we have: 600 Pieces of Eight, Dead Men Break No Codes, Deja Vu (2 images), Details in Gold, and With an Enemy Like You (Who Needs a Lover?)

First image there is called "re-reading 600 Pieces of Eight". Because I'm normal about that fic and its Janus. Second picture is just there because I wanted to show off Virgil's face + I hate how Janus' body looks

And a very small Janus from A Cactus and Nothing More because I j. I just. love this fic so much. It's so cute and rmgjhlfkd.
