Episode 8 of murderbot

Okay uh did not see the sabctuary moon bot slap its lovers head off. That was... a thing

Sanctuary moon may be murderbots comfort show but man it is not helping it navigate normal interpersonal relationships. It is sooo soap opera omg

Everyone talks about gurathin as a foil for murderbot but what about ratthi? Murderbot bases a lot of its actions in social situations and interpretations of it on its shows. Ratthi does the same except with action flicks mostly rather than soap operas. Though he also seems to base some of his trying to befriend murderbot on tv clichees

Neither is a very good guide for real life and pretty hit or myss but for murderbot that rarely endangers its life, its just painfully awkward. Ratthi on the other hand...

"The kind that kicked secunits ass" whats whit the side eye murderbot she aint wrong

Them reminiscing about the fight and hyping each other up while murderbot glances around, remembering factually how bad it was and clearly thinking what the fuck are they talking about

Oh my god gurathin you are so dramatic and pathetic

"Especially not you" lol

I love it hates having the same thought as gurathin. I bet he does too

You are nice. Thats not the only reason you do this but you are nice. Thats like so much of your proplem

Oh my god way to make things really uncomfortable with the why cant you love me back

Oh crafty son of a bitch gurathin

It doesnt know at that point that or why it killed the miners. But you can tell how much it holds on to even the smallest chance that it didnt. Or if it did that at least it couldnt help it

Oh throuple this is the worst time ever but i mean. I guess emotions dont wait

Murderbot going from the certain i have a plan to repeating it almost like an unsure question and gurathins fuck to it lol

i've just pulled out some interesting quotes from the metal hammer article for myself and anyone else interested. anything bolded for emphasis by me.

-

George Lever [Sleep Token producer 2016-2021]: The starting point was removing this idea of the music you listen to being related to the person making it. By being anonymous, the listener is forced to relate to what they're actually hearing.

-

James Monteith [Tesseract guitarist/publicist at Hold Tight PR]: I was approached by Tom Quigley, who was a scene regular and ran a few blogs at the time. He said he was working with this new band, would we maybe be interested in doing their press? We ended up talking for an hour, and he rolled out the whole concept, the imagery and everything about it... other than the music.

George: The lore/narrative was pretty loose still, but it definitely existed.

James: There was nothing specific as such, more this idea of creating an occult vibe and feeling, led by this prophet-like character who leads a religion.

-

George: A lot of the first EP was actually us trying stuff out. We recorded the drums on a whim at Monnow Valley Studio in Wales. I introduced him to one of my friends, who actually still drums in them now.

-

James: We always got requests [for interviews], but the band said from the start they were anonymous and wouldn't do them. It helped create more curiosity because nobody could get access to them.

Matt Benton [Metal Hammer writer]: You can't do an introductory piece without an interview. We managed to get an agreement for an email interview with Metal Hammer. Even then, the band knew they didn't want a voice.

Matt: It's one of only a few interviews they've ever done. It's something I'm glad exists, because it's like getting the Word Of God.

-

George: I had freedom to offer interpretations of what I was hearing. It was a very fortunate combination of personalities and ideals. There was never any, 'We're going to take over the world' -type chat. It was more, 'Do we like this? Let's do more of that.'

-

Nathan Barley Phillips [co-founder of Basick Records]: Trying to keep some sense of anonymity was a real mission. Particularly getting them to and from the stage [at Great Escape festival 2018] without anyone seeing who they were.

-

George: We did Sundowning in three months - we went from demo to final master being released in just 12 weeks. We didn't have days off; we'd do seven in the morning until seven, eight or even nine at night every day for three months. We were in each other's pockets; we'd go to the gym together, swim, do the sauna... All this stuff to recover from being sat down all the time. There was a lot of time to spend holistically being friends making this record. We didn't know how to make this thing, but we had a confidence that we'd get there in the end. That's my favourite three-month period of my life.

-

George: We started making [TPWBYT] and the first day was when lockdowns began. Tomb... was tough for all of us emotionally. There were lifestyle pressures as a result of the lockdown that made it not very conducive to making art that is supposed to be welcoming. A lot of those songs are, in one way or another, about love, love being lost or remorse, they are compassionate tales that are designed to bring the listener towards the artist. It's hard to do that when it feels like the world is going to end.

-

Matt: I've got friends in merchandising and they say Sleep Token shift more merch than any other UK heavy band - more than even Iron Maiden.

-

Nathan: Bands like Ghost and Sleep Token aren't successful because they wear masks. They're successful because they write great music. Masks don't mean anything if the music isn't any good.

Matt: I'll be interested to see, when the first official TV movie of the band gets made, the difference between the reality of what happened and the story that gets told. In a way, the myth becomes reality.

Chat I just found out I might have to go ~2 weeks without adhd meds ;-;

Which means I have to ration out them now so I can survive my first month of college :'(

If you catch me crashing out or I'm low energy/barely interacting assume it's that 😭

[squireofgeekdom]

Oh no. Don't let me start plotting out a Leverage Redemption / Moon Knight crossover. I don't need more wips. Help.

[lakesparkles]

HI EVERYBODY!! :D

I'm glad to say that I'm feeling way better now, it's the happiest I've felt in the last... What? Three weeks? And yeah, most people were right: what I needed was to step back and be out of the internet a little. (Not that I'm taking a break 100%, I'm just here less). I'm feeling like drawing again and this is great to me!!

Aaaand the lesson I learned is that your brain finds weird ways to improve your mental health: this time, to me, was to spend most of my time drawing Squid Game yaoi and watching Tik Tok videos. If it helps, it helps ig

Wow people really do be being biphobic in our lords year of 2025... I cannot imagine watching the western world fall to facism (while living in the western world) and still putting time and energy into creating division in the queer community. Like. Your human rights are in major peril. What the fuck are you talking about.

[adanseying]

was bored and did this ya books tier ranker … this is like the only ranked like this I’ve seen include individual books from series rather than just the first idk if I like that more or less

[microwavetoaster-selfships]

Congratulations, Kane! You've successfully determined a grocery store was from the UK by looking at one small section of the shelf and only zooming in and looking for the currency symbol on the price tags after you figured it was from the UK.

[thismission]

ofmd s2 rly said yeah let's add more women to the cast but it's so important to immediately throw them into relationships with no proper buildup, storyline or conclusion that in order to make it happen we'll break up the secondary main couple of the first season with no explanation for that either

[sunlightfeeling]

I genuinely feel like I dont have a right at all to complain or talk negative about Japanese fans but like……..the evident cliqueish-ness of honestly what looks like a very unfortunate larger chunk of them ……😮‍💨

like i gotta be honest the concert was a lot more isolating than it actually already was in itself because of the vibes at least a couple of clusters of fans gave me

[orcelito]

Yes I am scared of mascots/fursuits. I think I had a traumatic memory at Chuck E Cheese's when I was a little kid. Idk why else I'm so put off by proximity to them lmao

[autosarcophagy-avaritia]

"why are you so desprate/obsessed with it" idk maybe the fact i never belong literally fucking anywhere and this is the closest that im ever gonna get and do you even know how fucking awkward it is when people ask what you do and you have no answer?

[flare-dragon]

How to make friend with someone and feel like my actual self for 5 minutes

[thebuttsmcgee]

so. um. 👉👈

hi guysies.

Ig I should just say like. Hi

I haven't been posting here as much cause. Idk. Might be depression? I keep thinking its cause I've been so busy, which also wouldn't be not untrue, but these past, like, 3 weeks I think so far? I've had some free time but I haven't cause. I dunno, then again, I haven't been doing too much in general? I gues, besides very mandatory things, hell I've even been lacking in my regular skyrim hours of playing.

That, and as said, I get super melancholic when I remember just how sad and bittersweet it is that t0h is. Actually legit over. The show and experience, that is.

Oh all that and also becuz my headphones broke! Fuck! That's like number 2 in my bare necessities for when I post, do almost anything really! It's seriously been painful this past month going without headphones holy shit. Dude I've been scratching at the bit for some relief for headphones, I NEED music legitimately. Even right now, as I'm typing this on my phone, my music is on low levels.

But yerp. Its been. Rough. Really rough. I really do appreciate yall, everyone of yall. Have a sweet week everyone, ✌️!
