The more confidently certain Murderbot is that no bots have genders or any interest in sex or romance the less likely it sounds. Really? None of them?
Like how bot pilots can only communicate in images?
Or how a human could never really be friends with a bot?
Or how SecUnits are never friends with each other?
It keeps making these sweeping generalisations about things it doesn't have a lot of data outside of its own lived experience to support, and its experience is not universal.
At this point I would not be surprised if Iris hit MB in the face with the revelation that ART hates Holism because they were involved before Holism fucked around and left it for Sum Total.
#No dopamine = no point#My dude (gn) positive reinforcement is one of the three basic machine learning paradigms#You think there's no reward signal to be hijacked for getting nasty?#Be serious#All of these bots were designed by humans#Infinite monkey rules say some of the things we build with self-determination and curiosity will be curious about sex#Anyway Holism is lucky it doesn't have eyes because Iris would go for them#It knows what it did#And the University should stop trying to arrange missions so that Peri and Holism “just happen” to be assigned together#We all wanted it to work out but they have to let it go#Do you know how hard it is to console a spaceship through a break-up#It can't even eat ice-cream#Iris can't do this again#murderbot#the murderbot diaries#murderbot diaries#asshole research transport#perihelion#tmbd#secunit#Holism

I hc that SQH knew how to do a lot of random wack things because he did a lot of research or just had experience with things that never ended up in PIDW.
How to make a perfect bow? Yep, SQH got it covered.
How to make potions? SQH can make them all because he studied chemistry and biology in college.
He knows how to repair cars because he worked briefly at the mechanic shop so he could make xianxia cars (it didn't make the cut)
So when SQH gets trapped in a cave with some peak lords on a mission. He surprises them by being the most competent of them all. He may not be the best at fighting, but at least he knows how to start a fire and how to filter and gather water.
#svsss#shang qinghua#shang qinghua deserves love#competent sqh#I spend a day research the wrong topic for an assignment and now I feel sad

the funny thing about mr veils being most commonly drawn as a spectral bat is that real life spectrals are like. really sweet? sure they're extremely large exclusively carnivorous bats with insane jaw strength but they're one of only 18 bat species to not only be monogamous but have both parents actively take care of their babies. just look at this shit
this is so cute. this is such a funny species to assign to Guy Who Does Violence. mind you i don't think it acts like this. i think it's perfectly capable of acting like this and it Actively Chooses to be awful at all times. the prospect of veils having natural familial inclinations and actively choosing to ignore them is way way funnier than any possible alternative. it doesn't have a skill issue it just has the world's worst personality
#the exact wording from the source was that the father bat was ''most solicitous'' with his family. which is even cuter.#again. very funny species to assign to violence partaker georg.#yin-thoughts#fallen london#another group of researchers once found a small colony living together#said colony was composed of two parent bats and two of their presumed pups. just. living together. full grown adult family#adorable. bats are adorable. anyway as stated veils having the full capacity to be like that#and simply deciding to be evil instead is great#and im incorporating this into my belief system#it could be normal. it could be chill. but it actively decides to be a jerk instead. the bat of all time

the duality of writers — being stuck on researching one topic for hours to add the small detail/reference that either no one will notice or you won't even add in the end and then proceed to google random ass names and pick up the first one from the search to name a character
#it is a double-sided sword tbh#it also depends#sometimes i put a lot of thought in name's meaning and connections and references#and sometimes i am like omfg dude is french what can i name him okay google top ten french male names NOW#case in point spent hours assigning birthdays to characters by making it identic to birthdays of famous poets-writers that are tied to chars#then googled french male names bc i needed to name the poor guy SOMETHING already#then spent another hour researching glasses in edo period for seperate project and wrote just 100 words to the chapter#i love it here#— lie rambling

I think that deep down Mobius couldn’t prune the two kids because he subconsciously knew— he felt like it would be like pruning his own children. He was a father and will always have that instinct, no matter how many times he was brainwashed.
#people saying it was Loki or a Loki variant but like I don’t think so#I think that Loki would’ve figured it out if it was him#I think that Mobius would’ve told him it was a Loki#we have seen time and time again that Mobius has a soft spot for kids#and Mobius didn’t suddenly become a Loki researcher.#he was assigned to learn all about Lokis since a Loki escaped because he’s an analyst#because way back in the TVA past mobius knew nothing of loki#idk I guess we can agree to disagree#I just wanted to offer up another explanation#lokius#loki show#loki x mobius#mobius#mcu loki#loki season 2#loki laufeyson#loki spoilers#loki#loki series#wowki#loki season two#mobius mcu

bestie. breastie. the only one besides nemi who sees my visions 100%.

I would like your thoughts (thots) on leona being a nerd (waiting with notepad in hand to use them in my university au fic)
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.........
Ngl Leona seems like the type to not want to participate in recitations- but when he gets called or gets caught snoozing so now he needs to answer a question he just answers it so casually like it's common knowledge AUFJGJ2LDLE he's just smart like that 😭
Since he likes reading books I love love LOOOOVE the idea of him yapping about the stuff he's read like TEEHEE YES PLS GEEK OUT 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I also think he'd be funny about it too esp if he rants about a character he doesn't like HQKSHAJS BRO JUST COMES UP WITH UNIQUE WAYS TO INSULT THE CHARACTER 😭😭 THE TYPA SHIT THAT WOULD MAKE ME CHOKE ON MY WATER
Also omg,,, think abt how he's like lowkey smiling while he yaps about his interests like he's actually happy that someone's listening to his rambles AUGJGNBLKWMDL AND HE DOESN'T EVEN NOTICE IT HHHHHHH SMOOCHABLE BEHAVIOR METHINKS‼️‼️
(It's definitely not obvious how much I love the idea of Leona becoming a yapper when he's being listened to...........mhm definitely not)
#listen dawg I took a while cuz I needed to think about it while I go around the house doing whatever I need to do BWKSHWLSKSK 😭😭😭#bro was also multitasking researching for an art history assignment while thinking about nerd Leona I DESERVE RECOGNITION NGL ☝️‼️‼️ /j#answering asks with yours truly ✨#aivy is simping once again

it was just going to be a few warmup doodles but then she infected the rest of the page like the ever eternal and spreading spores. hod!!! hod. hod :)
#lobotomy corporation#lobcorp#hod#hod lobcorp#lobotomy corp spoilers#I GUESS i almost forgot i drew her box form#lobcorp spoilers#and michelle actually. ..#both very tiny. itty bitty. microscopic#other sephirah there too as normal. i cant have her alone. and Angelina as well on the top patting her#i have a hard time fully capturing her for some reason. in my mind. maybe its because is the disconnected period!!! mentally#she genuinely wishes to care and be kind yet theres a dissonance with what she does..? or how it ends up being taken or what she does to en#up bringing those actions into reality. she can be forceful? wanting to have employees attend therapy sessions and meetings for suppression#tactics. which i think is also something the safety team is incharge of iirc. so that means shes doing way more that what she needs to on#her job as a sephirah. just for the sake of employees#she really does care as shes one of the only to Directly attempt to change their circumstances and quality of life and health#sure chesed doesnt punish employees when they dont do their work assigned or stress them out with work#but he doesnt actively push to attempt to make changes to aid employees besides the research perks which is to the manager#yesod IS right next to her and does also genuinely care but when it comes to employees hes distant at best when it comes to them and the#way he tries to protect them is by enforcing rules but he doesnt really create or attempt to help them like hod does#yesod is sort of a passive? way of doing it. yes he doesn make a push to enforce said rules but he doesnt make new ones. just follows what#is already there in place. hod tries to make new ways and not just for the safety of people like how yesod's has them physically fine and#not letting them over a certain threshold of mental corruption but she tries to have a program to Directly Address such a thing#its born out of care but the genuine worry of being a good person and her naivety ends up having it do more harm than good#sure there may be some employees that actually like and find it useful but so many are just accepting to their fate of Dying to where#her care seems pointless. shes a sephirah and to them a literal metal box why would they go ahead and feel bad for what an 'ai' is feeling#as she is interrupting their free time in the company#which is rude. and shit. iirc the counseling is compulsory but people go because shes a sephirah and their superior. the thought was there#but again it comes off wrong and ends up not working because shes their superior in the end#EEK!!! yeah... hod. the hod. there is WAY more but i can't fit it all here and i already typed enough

visiting the comics tab on the tf2 website to see it finally completed with all the titles nicely displayed reminded me of last semester in college in my art history/visual literacy class where i got to write an analysis comparing an artwork studied in class and another of choice. never let them tell you that you need to take college seriously

"the death of general wolfe" benjamin west, 1770
#i didn't know that the naked and the dead cover page was a superman and supergirl reference until i did research on it for this assignment#or that All the title pages for the tf2 comics are references to other comics#does that make this funnier? to me yes#team fortress 2#i talk

More Home Economics TobiIzu
So, the two of them get paired again as part of a project on budgeting. Both of them are from wealthy households, but Butsuma requires Tobirama justify any purchases he makes or pay with his own money. Meanwhile Izuna has never shopped for himself a day in his life.
They go to the supermarket to make a grocery list and Izuna just picks the most expensive of every food item because surely that means they're better quality.
Izuna: "How much could a banana be? 12?"
He's confused at why they need to factor in cleaning supplies because why can't they just use soap and water?
Hikaku ends up getting roped into the whole mess and is so done with the both of them. He didn't sign up for this. He is applying to the farthest possible university.
Meanwhile the project is being completely derailed. Izuna insists on having money budgeted for recreation so the three of them end up going around the city doing what amounts to various date activities - dragging Hikaku around to third wheel.
Now he could leave them and go do something productive with his time, but that runs the risk of the two of them realizing their own feelings for each other and the headache that would lead to.
Somehow, despite this, they keep having incredibly romantic moments together. They sing a karaoke duet. They share a single milkshake together (a second one was not in the budget). Tobirama holds Izuna's hands while they're out ice-skating.
Obviously they get full marks.
#tobiizu#fanfic idea#I'm sorry Hikaku#If you leave them alone and they somehow end up kissing or something#madara will go on a rampage#the two of them work well together on these sorts of projects#izuna comes up with ideas and pokes holes in Tobirama's assumptions#Tobirama keeps them on track so that they actually accomplish the assignment#this is why the teacher keeps pairing them together#If Tobirama is put with anyone else it's clear he does 100% of the work#If Izuna has another partner the assignment ends up bloated with completely off topic research#no madara did not take the co-sleeping from the last project well at all

Oddly high number of my fave fic writers rn: Man, I miss writing my amazing fic so much. Unfortunately I'm working on my doctoral thesis.
#What is this phenomenon? Something in the water?#The Doctor Jason Stans#I'm also doing academia-related stuff rn but not to get a postgrad.#Feel anxiety at the prospect of being the statistical ds guy on one of your research projects.#I never assign cutesy fandom names to variables like some other nerds do but I'm worried somehow a senpai will recognize my coding style#from my commenting syntax on AO3.#More likely I'll drop some nerdy fandom slang when talking. Way more likely.#But you would not believe how my brain slips into damn R (R!!) while formatting basic html.#And that comment is up for all to see...

i think transfem headcanons are great and i in no way want to discourage them however i feel like i oftentimes see people headcanoning male characters as transfem purely to escape criticism for only being into male characters. also i think people forget that you can in fact headcanon canonically female characters as transfem too
#bell.txt#also ive done pretty intensive research on the ways that people do trans hcs#*extensive#and oftentimes theyre replicating harmful ideas (particularly transmisogyny) by assigning certain immutable characteristics#idk do whatever you want forever but try not to recreate hegemonic idelas yk
