i want to see blitzø to go back to that candle shop on Lust and when the vendor asks what’s the mood i want him to reply ”Romantic”

[visemes]

Murderbot: I really like these clothes, too bad I can't get them...

Someone: Why not? I'll barter for them if you don't want to use your money, it's no problem, I'm friends with the shop owner. They'll probably even take an IOU if you want to barter later yourself.

Murderbot: If I wear things over my face people will think I'm a rogue SecUnit that's trying to hide. I don't want to risk getting caught...

Someone: ......but everyone here already knows you're a rogue SecUnit that's in hiding. That's why you're here as a refugee. Everyone already knows. They won't judge you for covering your face. You can wear whatever clothes you want. No one here's gonna report you to the Corporation Rim.

Murderbot:

Murderbot:

Murderbot:

Murderbot:

Someone: hey are you okay...?

Murderbot's buffer: This unit is experiencing a critical failure in processing performance. Please contact your technical support officer for assistance.

(and then the person frantically waves Ratthi over for help because they think they broke SecUnit and they're freaking out)

Ratthi: SecUnit, are you okay?

Murderbot: I'm having an emotion.

Ratthi: A good emotion or a bad emotion?

Murderbot: An emotion.

Ratthi: Do you want to go sit down or move somewhere else?

Murderbot:

Ratthi: Alright, I'll make sure no one bothers you. *turns to the other person* You didn't do anything wrong, I think it's just finally processing the fact that it's actually safe here, or at least safe from being arrested just for existing.

(and then the very friendly shopkeeper just closes the shop so no one can bump into Murderbot or anything. They are definitely also going around getting each peice of clothes they saw Murderbot looking at and putting them in bags for it to take home when it's feeling better)

there is evidence to suggest that sid the science kid takes place in a special needs class, it doesn't seem to be canon but the fan theory is so widespread that google confidently states that sid is autistic

ive been rly into rollerskating lately

[ID: A drawing of Technoblade rollerskating backwards. He is an anthropomorphic pig who is wearing casual clothing, which includes a black Philza sweatshirt with blue hearts, blue sweatpants, and leggings under the sweatpants, as well as protective gear in the form of kneepads and fingerless gloves. The rollerskates are open-toe to accommodate his hooves. He has a long braid that is flying out behind him as he looks backwards. End ID.]

Murderbot's buffer and autism coding

Various and sundry spoilers

One thing I absolutely love in this series is Murderbot's buffer. When it's too busy and distracted, Murderbot's programming takes over and it delivers canned phrases that may or may not communicate what it wants to communicate, and this is so fucking relatable

(Personal autism paragraph) I've actually used this series to explain to my wife what happens when I try to answer a complex-for-me question in conversational "real time", and why I get frustrated about things that I've cheerfully agreed to. (I don't know wtf is going on and I need to answer in NT time frame! Quick, be super agreeable!) (Currently trying to learn the new buffer phrases "let me think about that" and "give me a minute")

Back to Murderbot God I love this detail so much. It's partly just for comedy, but it's also dead serious, like so much of this series. It's about being programmed and how that programming takes over. "This unit is at minimal functionality and it is recommended that you discard it." Murderbot has been treated like a thing and that's so ingrained in its systems by now that sometimes it's just going to come out its mouth, like it doesn't want to be abandoned, but that's how it's lived for so long. ARGH

Also I love love love in Network Effect where Overse knows about the buffer and what it means and interprets it for Thiago. She knows what that tone of voice is (it's a canned response) she knows why it happens (it's from when Murderbot was enslaved) and she knows what it means ("it's too busy to talk"). I love Murderbot's friends so much I totally understand why it keeps risking horrible fates for them.

my n2n obsession is made worse by the fact that at some point or another i have been:

1. mentally ill person whose mental health episodes and crises are ruining their family's life

2. person in a relationship with someone severely mentally ill and doing their best but failing to help the one they love

3. child of a parent grieving a massive loss that drastically changes them as a person and makes their parent-child relationship absolute hell

4. guy telling the people in his life how much he fucking loves weed

5. an inappropriately used kitchen island

i don't actually have anything coherent to say about it but the way diana's guilt is shown throughout the musical is so subtle and powerful because To Me she is at least in act 2 very much aware of how she has affected her family

and i'm definitely not saying that to blame her because. well. she's mentally ill. nobody had a choice in that. but the reality of this whole situation is that you will suffer and the people you love will be affected by your suffering and you will feel so goddamn guilty about it until you die or get over it and frankly the former is far more likely

i'm definitely projecting but the way she says ''i'll try,,,'' in . i think it's song of forgetting i don't remember right now and the ''your life has kinda sucked i think'' in better than before,,,,,,,

oh diana goodman i am so sorry for all the pain you've had to endure
