i like to make fun of murderbot for being all "i hate everyone, i don't care about anything or anyone, fuck off" while simultaneously caring very much about the people around it and the situations it finds itself in. i love how it "accidentally" ends up caring quite a lot about the friends it makes along the way. but i think something that i tend to forget is that murderbot actively decides to care - at least at some point in its story.

idk, as a person that struggles with depression, this paragraph from artificial condition really resonates with me. prior to all systems red, murderbot had contracts. it had routine and it had protocols. it knew what it had to do to just get by, how to perform so no one would notice it had disabled its governor module. it was deeply depressed, yes, but it was functioning (for lack of a better word). in artificial condition, murderbot's routine is gone. it cannot go on in that state of numbly going-from-contract-to-contract, putting in as little effort as possible, consuming media to cope. that option is gone because it escaped (and note that escaping the company was not an active choice, it kinda happened to it). murderbot has two options now: it can either gather all its energy; actively do something new and difficult and distressing; change something in its life and try. or it can let the numbness and the emptiness take over and stop trying. if murderbot wants to survive as a rogue secunit, it has to try. no matter how difficult that is. the wording in that paragraph really hits home for me. the way the non-caring sees an opportunity to slip in and to take over. does murderbot even care? does anything really matter? is anything really worth the hassle? wouldn't it be so much easier to just let your mind slip away a little, to go numb, to be passive, to watch media and wait for things to happen to you? wouldn't it be nice to stop thinking and struggling and feeling complicated things? to stop making an effort? you've been dealing with a lot lately and maybe it's time to just shut down. maybe you'll just take a little break. just slip deeper into this chair and start the show. time flies when you're not paying attention. trying is exhausting. who cares if you don't do the things you wanted to do, you were supposed to do. it'll be fine. let's just ignore those things for now. just let the non-caring take over. just stop thinking. you can deal with the aftermath later. just watch your shows. who cares. but murderbot cares. it decides to care. it decides to fight with all it has and i think that is so brave. and i think in the later books caring is less of an active decision for murderbot. once you start caring, it's easier to keep going than to stop; and murderbot, for all its "i'm a grumpy rogue secunit, leave me alone" behavior, knows just how important caring is. so it's not that it doesn't know what's happening; rather, it lets itself care. tl;dr: caring is not the default for murderbot, it's just the more difficult of two options. and it decides not to take the soft option. it decides to struggle. it decides to care. and so it does.

okay another thing about dune… the sound. obviously another beauty by zimmer and great overall sound design. but there’s something about the mix of the two here. in the first harkonnen harvester attack and again in the final battle the ornithopter gunfire is noticeably on beat and in step with the the music, or lack of music. and in the feyd and margot scene her ‘come. to. me.’ lays so purposefully and seductively over the music. just the care overall in the craft of the film is such a feat.

Sometimes I think about how important someone can be to the rest of your life even if your relationship with them doesn't last forever.

I had a friend about four years ago that I was extremely close to for a while. We don't talk anymore. Just a natural drifting apart. But I wanted to die one day. Like it was a true mental break, and I went somewhere to do it. He reached out to me about something inane, and I was this crying mess at the time. I thought about not answering. I didn't really want to talk to anyone. I just wanted to end it. But there was a small part of me that reacted to the fact that he cared enough to want to talk to me at all. So, I reached back. He could tell something was wrong pretty much immediately, and when I broke and started sharing all the things that were going through my head, this man spent hours talking me through it. Letting me know that he cared and that I mattered. I was able to leave that place eventually and go back home. But without him, I probably wouldn't have.

The friendship itself was fairly shortlived. We were only close for about a year before life got in the way, but if we hadn't been friends at that time would I even be here? Probably not.

Thinking about all of the people who have made an impact on your life, particularly a life or death one, who weren't forever is amazing to me.

Not every relationship is meant to last forever, but that doesn't mean they didn't matter. Or they were a waste of time.

@oceanlaceagate

Well ok you asked for explaining so I'm so sorry about the rant that's bound to happen I have beef with this woman like many many MANY homeschool co-op mothers I would like to meet her IN THE PIT

uh I guess trigger warning possibly would be like food diets and possibly eating disorders I'm not sure but I would rather be safe then accidentally harm you friend?

my mother was a crunchy homeschool nutter and her entire social group was crazy homeschool mom cultists.They were all obsessed with clean godly eating and losing weight they constantly kept repeating that they needed to treat their bodies like temples and it really wasn't healthy or good for so many reasons.

well one of the women in that group for as long as i can remember (I've know this lady since I was a lil kid) she believes it's impossible for European women to get fat because of *spins the wheel*

She just has some fucked up made up facts about Europe in general like WARNING SHE'S ACTUALLY ON PURPOSE STUPID

like she has for as long as I can remember believed with E V E R Y FIBER in her body (i have argued so much with her she will not budge in her world this is fact) no one once they hit preteens in france eats bread.

France home of the croissant, baguette and many other carbs bready bakery wonders...

Yeah no one there eats bread that is why French women are so thin and healthy they don't eat bread or any kind of sweets! (She and my mom then tried to make me do that for a bit they were always "suggesting" diets on me it sucked in expecting the thm diet and the melted butter+coffee+ apple cider vinegar diet to have fucked up my body somehow)

Apartly in her world no one in Ireland uses any kind of fat when I asked her to explain wtf that meant she said no one in Ireland uses oil or butter which like..

No that makes no sense where did she even come up with that?!I

Once I took a picture of like some fancy imported butter from Ireland at the store to show her and she and the other moms all straight up walked away and would not look at it. They would not talk to me kept actually doin the "talk to the hand" thing and covering their ears and telling me I'm wrong and stupid and to shut up they will not look at the evidence.

This woman is in her late forties to early fifties she has convinced half the homeschool mother cult that no one in France eats bread with no evidence other then she said so!!!!!

They honest to God believe it also!!!!

Recently she was trying to tell me that no one in the UK eats chicken that it's "looked down on as a disgusting poor man's food" she just went on n on on this long crazy rant that made no sense at all but she acted like she was very intelligent and cultured for knowing this.

My best friend and wife is from the UK and frankly i quickly asked them and they were able to point out this lady is just batshit insane.

Like my wife mentioned there's Nandos everywhere in the UK and that serves chicken mainly I have no clue where she's getting her info or ideas.

She got super angry amd defensive and has gone off saying she has two sources "two very reliable very real and very British people who totally aren't made up there her real Facebook friends that told her yup no one in the uk eats chicken only the USA makes fried chicken poor England is missing out on chicken because they're a bunch of snobs who think it's poor people food" so that's what she believes despite a lot of common sense and evidence to prove otherwise but "how dare I question an elder?!'

I really can't explain it like there's no logic or facts in it I myself don't understand it? I have gotten into many fights with this women.

So many fight

so so so many fights

Stupid amounts of fights

not just over this but like over everything under the sun I swear this woman is living a different reality then everyone else.

she just makes stuff up on a fly and then somehow convinces herself and like a dozen other women in they're 40s-50s that everyone in Europe is significantly skinner because they just happen to not eat the food that one lady dislikes...

like I can't really explain more then that this woman has no evidence, refuses to listen to evidence and has the firmest faith in stupidity I've ever seen it's truly kinda terrifying i wish i had her self confidence but also just wow....

I don't think that she's normal I think a lot of American children do actually learn about other countries? I learned about other countries when I was really young my mom would focus on one a month and then I'd have to do a lil presentation at the end of the month in front of my grandad and we'd cook a meal with some traditional foods from there if possible I had a lot of fun learning recipes from all over the world and we'd get a monthly cd with music from all over the world it was so cool! one of my favorite games when I was little with my grandad was he'd spin the globe point at random n then i had to say thw county, the capital, a famous food item from there and one history fact is famous person if I knew one and it was SO MUCH FUN!!!

maybe it's a new homeschool thing or a church thing or maybe this lady is just straight up purposely stupid I'm not sure? I have no fuckin clue this woman is insane I avoid her every chance I can.

I'm thinking about Dabi, too... You know that beanie bag cushion they show on the PLF quarters? I'm thinking about making out with him there while everyone else is gone. Him grinding hips hips like crazy on us bc I Know he's good at it 🤤 He's almost feral, grunting and slobbering our neck and whatever piece of skin he can uncover.

But I'd tell him that if he wants something more, he'd have to follow me to the bedroom/bathroom/closet -whatever closed, private space is nearest 😉

I want you to know I refused to answer this ask for a couple days because I wasn’t ready for this to live rent free in my head, but you single-handedly gave Dabi sole rights over my last braincell again with this blurb

[inkstainedhandswithrings]

he'd say: do it💅✨

[tomatosoump]

girls do u ever feel sooooooo **** that u just .

[priestessoffurina]

I've got so many feelings about Furina...

[helpimhyperfixating]

So @momokujo gave me some brainrot.

You know the absolutely awful way Jotaro shuffles cards?

Just slap them on the table and mix em all around before picking them back up?

First of all: fucking adorable. Big bad man can bluff like a master but can’t shuffle for the life of him

But second of all: now I can’t stop thinking about teaching him how to shuffle 😩

I’m pretty good at it, if I say so myself, and just- trying to show Jotaro the trick to how to do it, or maybe start out with that easier shuffle in the hand? My heart, soul and brain go wild.

Also sorry to go all Kira but he’d just be so focused on my hands too ;-;

Just- a very soft and wholesome afternoon spent with me trying to teach him how to shuffle

I’m soft

[abyssalhuntersnerd]

Yeah.

[lime-ether]

So for research purposes since you’re more familiar with the bonehead crew’s characterization than me. What would they think of these three from The Living Tombstone?

From left to right

zero_one / The Coded / First appeared : Chosen

DrunkGuy (yeah I’m dead serious that’s his canon name) / The Alcoholic / First appeared : Drunk

SkullGuy / The Hero / First appeared : Love I Need

...

Okay, I didn’t expect anyone to approach me like that, but it seems to me that at least the boneheads will be interested in these guys? Like indie-rock it's cool

It seems to me that this will be especially familiar to Lewis (because of all the guys he is the youngest and died in a rather modern time than, for example, Daniel)

Brook, I don't know, Soul Rock????.....

Papyrus would be interested in these guys too, especially in Skullguy ( he might think, that guy wearing combat armor)

But it also seems that zero_one I would also like to show hi strength

And Drunkguy Well, obviously he would have teamed up with Sans and maybe he would have liked his pun, maybe

In any case, if these guys know how to have fun, then maybe the boneheads won't mind the singer-company

(although these three guys aren't even skeletons)

But yes, I read what you wrote about these guys and it’s quite interesting, I’d read more~~

Honestly, I’m not very keen on The Living Tombstone... And I never followed these guys because I had a different taste in music, but I'm glad that they are still creating music and are alive and well.

I THINK-
