were I to create an original piece of media I would create bait so queer in order to create a fanfic environment I like. I find you guys do your best work under duress.

Seeing PresAux advocate for MurderBot's personhood is touching but also extremely funny from an outsider's pov. Like someone gently patting the side of a military tank and going, this is our good friend Death Machine 5000 🥺 please be nice to it 🥺🥺🥺

This post has just turned into people listing increasingly egregious examples of real-life capitalist Frankenbrands and ohhhhh we live in hell don’t we. This is the bad place. Hell is empty and all the devils are named AstraZeneca and AOLTimeWarner.

My favorite small detail in the Murderbot Diaries is how many of the shitty corporations have names that sound like two names mashed together—GrayCris, BreharWallHan, Barish-Estranza, etc—because to me it just screams “corporate merger.” It’s something that real companies do with their names when they’re monopolizing, where two companies of comparable sizes just mash their two brands together to make a horrible Frankenbrand. Like how it’s Warner Bros-Discovery now, or the names of publishing companies like Penguin Random House and HarperCollins. It’s just some subtle worldbuilding that signifies how the dystopian capitalist hellscape of the Corporation Rim formed through the very mundane acts of corporate inbreeding that we see all the time

Imo missing Gideon is part of the experience of reading Harrow the Ninth. Everyone who read GtN goes to HtN like "but where is Gideon? How can I read this book without her??" And that is just like. Part of the book. Her absence. It hurts. You feel it. Youre mystified by it. Where is she?? I love it.

Before I die I want to find that one tumblr post that was like Gideon should have been fishing. Harrow should have been on tumblr discussing religious themes in Steven Universe. Palamades should have been there arguing with her. Camilla should have been at the club.
