[image description: a comic starring mob and reigen from mob psycho 100 and danny from danny phantom. Mob says “Shishou, I wanted to introduce you to someone. Danny waves and says “hi!” Reigen is watering plants, and tells mob “not now mob I’m a little busy-“ then sees danny and yells “ghost!”

Reigen says “salt splash” and throws salt at danny, who says “oh no.” To mob’s horror danny falls to the floor while saying “augh the salt. my…one weakness…” Reigen looks at danny, whose ghost tail is curled around him, and thinks, “snail…” mob and Reigen looks at danny with concern.

danny pops up in the next panel and says “kidding! I’m okay! That didn’t affect me at all haha.” Mob holds a hand to his chest and says “please never do that again.” Reigen looks at Danny and asks, “Mob, who is this guy.” End ID]

They're going to McDonalds because one of them (Mob) wanted the BTS meal but they've been stuck in the driveway for the past 10 minutes because Reigen won't move the car unless they all have their seatbelts on but no one is listening to him cause he's old

what really strikes me in rereading artificial condition is that once murderbot gets past its initial "oh my god this evil genius research transport could squash me like a bug, i'm so fucked" reaction to ART threatening it, it is WAY more chill about being vulnerable to ART than it is about being vulnerable to humans. MB is stressed out if a human so much as looks at it, but it lets ART hitch a ride in its brain and observe everything it's doing the whole time it's on RaviHyral, not to mention the two times it lets down its wall (!!) or the time it allows ART to modify its physical body while it's unconscious (!!!!). that's about as vulnerable as it's possible for MB to be, and it consents to it. so what's the deal with that?

not only is ART more of a direct threat to MB than any human is ("I had never directly interacted with anything this powerful before"), but also MB is more emotionally vulnerable (i.e., more exposed) to ART than it is to humans just in the sense that ART is privy to more of MB's perceptions/reactions/experience/feelings (its interiority) than humans are. with humans, MB is constantly checking its expression in the security cameras, trying to figure out if it's giving anything away. ART can't read MB's mind, but it can, e.g., perceive MB's emotions while watching Worldhoppers in a way that a human would not be able to. it's afraid of humans recognizing and reacting to the fact that it is sentient and has an inner life, but not of ART doing the same thing.

ultimately the root of this discrepancy is that MB is terrified of its own ability to hurt others. in artificial condition, the thing it's most immediately afraid of is being recognized as a rogue SecUnit. this would threaten its autonomy, and losing its autonomy would mean it could be used to hurt people against its will. (there's a ton more to say about this, and about the other things MB is afraid of, but i will save it for another day.)

but crucially, MB can't really hurt ART. it could do some damage if it really tried, but the power imbalance is in ART's favor. it doesn't need to worry about losing control/being controlled and hurting ART, because ART can defend itself from rogue SecUnits. and it doesn't need to worry about ART controlling it in order to hurt humans, because ART sobs into its figurative ice cream any time a fictional human bites it on a TV show.

with humans, MB is in the weird position of fearing their power over it (both their structural power as entities that are legally considered people where it is considered a thing, and their more immediate power to force it to carry out their commands) and also fearing its ability to harm them (humans are so squishy, guys). ART doesn't have structural power over MB - there is the potential for bot/construct solidarity there - and it wouldn't use its other power to wield MB as a tool to harm humans because it doesn't want to harm humans either (remember that at this point MB doesn't know about ART's trigger-happy colony-exploding proclivities). and MB isn't even the slightest bit of afraid of hurting ART, because MB is but a tiny bug in comparison.

ART is a safe entity for MB to be friends with, not in spite of the power imbalance in ART's favor but precisely because of it. MB can only have a relationship that's not overshadowed by fear when it is freed from its fear of its own potential to harm.

I really miss my TAZ phase every now and then, and since Ive had a really stressful week I thought I’d treat myself to drawing some old comfort characters!

Our favorite friendly/cranky android stopping in to wish you happy Pride Month and showing off its asexual, aromantic, and agender pride! This was done as part of a series on the Murderbot Discord, so there’s probably a flood of Murderbot-in-a-AAA-shirt arts by different fan artists floating around now! Looking to compile them soon.
