POV you’re a kaiju

I said I would come back to cubicles after finishing the series and re-reading all systems red sooooo here's my take on repair cubicles v2

that is a fridge

that is where the secunit goes

For this essay I provide the following evidence:

Notes from CTRL-F the books:

cold/no temperature control

“cozy”

plastic "bed"

storage case near it

a door that slides closed

a door that seals once closed

resupply leads and repair leads are separate leads

contains leaking fluids

must be climbed into and out of

secunit lies in the cubicle when watching media

cubicles have an acrid odour

cubicles makes a constant humming noise

no padding in cubicles

cubicles DONT have a platform (table??) like ART's medsystem does

cubicles can be used to transport secunits instead of a transport box

described as "big smooth white boxes"

they can be locked but if power shuts off they can be manually opened from the inside but this breaks the door

they have external emergency data storage displays for if a repair shuts down or has errors

you can't see if a closed and shutdown cubicle contains a secunit until you open them

a human private rest cubicle reminds secunit of a transport box but NOT a repair cubicle.

a dark supply locker reminds secunit of a cubicle. THAT IS A FRIDGE

that's a fridge that's a fridge! that is. a fridge.

personal thoughts and wondering:

wouldn’t look like a bed because we don’t want people thinking secunits might be people.

climbed into/out of the cubicle - it is not platform height so there must be an edge or wall...

Possibly make it so a shutdown secunit is more accessible by technicians? lean over to work on them so can't be too deep .

so there's the resupply port and repair port but surely there are more for all the other fluids and stuff .. stored underneath the “bed” of the cubicle? would raise the secunit up a little for technician access.

I think the company would make them as small as possible to save on space because they’re cheap like that and that's why they're cold but "cozy".

don’t like what I’ve seen of repairs on the trailer but idk if that’s just repairs or meant to be the cubicle - just so open and on display while I got impressions it’s more dark and cozy (but cold).

should prob put a this way up on them so when they’re used for transport the secunits don’t end up rattled around upside down

"The closest point in a comet’s orbit to the Sun is called “perihelion""

IM LOSING IT AM I DELUSIONAL PROBABLY BUT WHAT IF

WHAT IF THE SUN WOULD BE CONTENTMENT

THE COMET IS MURDERBOT

AND ART IS THE CLOSEST THING MB HAS TO CONTENTMENT IN ITS LIFFFEEE

[cloudydreamingart]

[cloudydreamingart]

THIS

Y'know the many scathing, negative reactions to the Adaptation actually start to annoy me/exhaust me.

Especially since Reddit of all places takes it more in the "Holy shit two cakes" stride.

Like, Kevin R. Free is an unparalleled Murderbot and reader, and my own mental image of MB isn't a white man.

But the show looks fun!

Martha Wells has said she likes it/is excited for it.

Apparently Skarsgard is a big fan too, and we got 7 Novels and 2 (or 3) Short stories that the Show won't suddenly change.

Why be so negative about a show that seems to give an honest try at adapting. It could have been so, so much worse.

GURATHIN!! BABY, JUST STAND UP YOU DORK

Murderbot face reveal + bonus awkward Gurathin interaction!

Plus the trailer is dropping today or tomorrow!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhh!

[cloudydreamingart]

I am of the firm belief gurathin is one of those people that are constantly cold

Mans is wearing a hoodie! Cardigan! AND suit jacket on top!!! With probs a shirt under it all!!!!!

[cloudydreamingart]

Listen i’m gonna cry if I see anyone be mean to Gurathin besides Murderbot okay? My man is out here serving cunt left right and center. His nails are painted black in the show for fucks sake, my bitchy middle aged man has never done anything wrong I will not stand for Gurathin slander. He’s just trying to listen to the deluxe version of three cheers for sweet revenge and not get killed by his boss’ rogue secunit

[cloudydreamingart]

Ok this is so unhinged and dumb but

LOOK AT GURATHINS SCRAWNY ASS FUCKIN LEGS WHY IS THIs SO FUNNY TO MEEEEE

[cloudydreamingart]

Hey remember when US and Russia was all like “We’re the best!!! We’ve won the space race!!!!” But India sent a kick-ass space probe to Mars and the whole mission was fuel efficient, costed less and a roaring success in the first try and then they were like “…..wait no that can’t be true” and still have the audacity to call us “underdeveloped” or only view us as a ‘third world country’? :)

For anyone who needs more info, the probe was called Mangalyaan (which literally means space probe vehicle) or Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and you can also get more information here and here

[cloudydreamingart]

Ok ok I need y’all’s opinions! I love the dramatized adaptation/graphic audio of murderbot but I’ve seen a lot of people hate it??? What do yall think????? Cause I love the voice actors for Murderbot, Three and ART and if you do hate it - tell me why pls???

[cloudydreamingart]

I think it’s prettyyy

[cloudydreamingart]

I think it's sad that so many people in the fandom are giving up on the live action when we've only seen *checks notes* some stills. it would have been better if they didn't cast a white guy? yeah. but it was the most possible outcome, idek why you guys are acting like this was the weirdest turn of events. and among the possible choices, alexander skarsgard is not the worst? like, have I missed any news about the guy? he seems pretty chill, personality wise. and he's known for playing action heroes. and lately he's been doing great movie after great movie. and he's a producer in the series!! 

Like, from my pov is extremely obvious that they were gonna pick a well known person to play MB bc the books are niche as fuck. like. we're not talking books that have harry potter --everyone--and--their--mothers--knows--the--title fame. and they're a bit risky, in the sense that they're very queer and they denounce colonialism time and time again. maybe it happens like with ofmd, in which taika's fame clearly let them get way, way crazier with other choices in the plot and the cast??

omg, I'd wait until we actually can judge how they handle the story instead of rejecting it outright. like. martha wells is involved in the production! Let them cook.
