It is a beautiful day, and you are a horrible research transport vessel. Things are progressing as normal (i.e. it's boring) when a SecUnit pings you, lies right to your metaphorical face, and then tries to bribe you with human media to give it a ride. This is as unexpected as it is unprecedented, and the sheer nerve of it is really to be admired. There's no protocol to this, so what should you do?

Now, this is against a bunch of rules, and could be dangerous if you weren't so impressive and incredible, and you're technically an employee (and can probably rewrite the Univeristy charter at will (until someone notices and puts it back)) so those rules are for other entities.

So, what you should do is allow the rogue SecUnit with a broken governor module and a sketchy story aboard. If you check the files it dumps and find zero (0) malware (which is confusing), and it doesn't even try to trash the place or lay in wait to ambush a crew member, then you've got a good candidate!

Next, what you're going to want to do is absolutely nothing. Just watch it patrol your halls until it's time to leave. Continue staring at it while you're undergoing embarkment procedures. Maybe analyze it a little (you've got plenty of processing power to spare) when it finally sits down and starts watching media. Allow it to settle in and get comfortable while you stare at it and get further and further from port.

Now that you two are alone (intimacy is key!) and you've determined that watching media is all the SecUnit is going to do, it's time to make contact! Make sure to open by telling it it's only survived due to dumb luck, and letting it know you could melt its brain into putty. This starter will work to develop conversation naturally and smoothly, just like you've seen the humans do, and it will be smooth sailing from there!

This has been Perihelion's guide to making friends/finding life partners/fuck off Holism I had to work hard for this find your own

#murderbot diaries #murderbot #perihelion #it was not smooth sailing #it took ART about ten minutes to get secunit into a snit so bad it shut down out of spite #but they make it work somehow #tbh despite the rocky start if ART weren’t so ART i don't think the relationship would have lasted #ART is overbearing and kind of a bully and it earned its nickname very well #but i think thats why secunit can get along with it because it comes across as more genuine #mb was distrustful and a little patronizing to miki so while they COULD have been friends if canon hadn't happened it took it until miki #died to realize miki was being genuine about the friendship #whereas with ART MB can be like what we have is weird and I'm not gonna put a label on it #these tags have gotten away from me #anyway can you imagine ART having to explain to Iris and Seth WHY it let SecUnit on?? #like it could have justified it any which way but at the end of the day art was bored and then curious and then intrigued

There's something about reading really great writing that's so relaxing. You can just sit back and let the words wash over you, knowing that you can trust the writer.

#random thought of the day #books #part of the reason i'm not getting writing done today was because i spent most of my free time reading from books i've let sit for too long #i haven't been able to sink into good fiction for a while #so elizabeth goudge felt like a spiritual experience #cleansing and uplifting #it always takes me a while to get into her books #there's a learning curve of a couple of chapters to adjust to the style #but once i break through it's bliss #it becomes easy as breathing #there's nothing quite like what she does #i love books that understand that goodness isn't boring or trite #you don't need to have 'darkness' and 'grit' to be complex #like one bit that took my breath away was the talk about sallie and david's marriage struggles #they're both good people who love each other #but they also have their differences because they're human and that causes struggles #not marriage-breaking struggles just nuanced life struggles #and i'm not sure i've seen something like that in a book before #it's a good marriage they married the right people but that doesn't mean life is perfect #goudge uderstands that marriage isn't happily ever after--heaven is #and a good marriage is two people partnering up to help each other reach that goal #it's so much more adult than any 'complex adult' work i've seen

yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.

to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!

i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.

also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.

they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.

they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.

i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

#eve text #elmike #stranger things #byler #only tagging byler because i feel like yall will like this take lol #tagging tagging tagging WHAT ARE EVERYONE ELSE'S THOUGHTS #god i can't believe i'm making a post about stranger things. this feels like poking a bear #i'm not particularly anti m*leven but like... they'd have to do something pretty special at this point for me to feel like it's viable #i'm seeing the bts of s5 and it's got me Having Thoughts #elmike friendship is something i am so passionate about #even before i ever liked byler (didn't ship at all until s4 even though i knew it was a thing before) i've felt this way about elmike #i always believed they were close friends at heart and needed to break up #the romance part of them felt very distinctly young and very much “he was a boy she was a girl” to me #and it hasn't deepened into anything more mature and i don't see how it could based on the current state of the writing... #the fact that lumax exists — a young relationship that is actively maturing and is healthy — makes that clear to me #and the “love confession” in s4 and how disingenuous and miserable it felt was just the nail in the coffin #also the fact that will (who is IN LOVE with mike) was instrumental in making it happen? ... uh... okay... interesting choice… #fucked up and reductive if they make it another queer unrequited love sacrifice for the sake of pushing the heterosexual agenda YUCK #so i really hope the speculation about a m*leven breakup is real!! i think it just makes sense for their characters but who knows #i don't believe in the notion of love at first sight or one true love and i think the writers don't too??? #love to me is an accumulation of experiences and we inevitably choose it at some point rather than fall into it... but idk #tv is so fixated on keeping couples together... sometimes it's just not reality guys especially with young people... LET IT GO... #like i said though i'm not 100% sold that they're going to give up their “golden couple” LMAO #stranger things hasn't historically subverted too many tropes if i'm being honest #anyway i seriously need this season to come out quickly... i'm so bored and getting my master's is crushing my soul #i need frivolity #ALSO btw i won't respond to hateful messages about this so please don't bother. it's not that serious. this is a netflix show

happy birthday! 💕🎉🌻

I really hope it’s a lovely one!!!

Oh thank you! ;-; 🧡

#answered #cursehole #the latter part is an idiom so you don't need to listen to this but let me ramble a little since it's been on my mind all day #birthdays always unnerve me for some reason #it's not even the getting older part #I just get hella tense about the pressure to make the day *special* in some way because that's how it's supposed to go #and I often just don't wanna do anything too out of the ordinary I'm pretty happy with mundane forms of enrichment #but I can't enjoy those boring things I actually like to do since they don't have that “special once-in-a-year” feel to them #so it's more of an annual mandatory “survive through the executive dysfunction" day #I know the curse will be lifted overnight so maybe tomorrow will be better

finally made one of these again! :)

this was so funny to make, i missed doing these. i had so many thoughts so i'll put them in the tags as usual hehe

bonus :3

#i imagine nne and tano probably made up chess. when they were bored in their cave one time #maybe not CHESS but some sort of game #whatever it is. it accurately portrays their dysfunctional family when they all played it HFDGH #idk i usually play board games with family so this automatically makes me think of them a Dysfunctional Family #ANYWAYS #top 4 are self explanatory BUT if there was a throw the chess board option kenge would be that #or a cheat option. shupavu would be that #i decided to let nduli goigoi and dogo win! as a treat :) #good for them! #meanwhile janja chungu and tamka don't know what the fuck is going on #reirei kiburi and mzingo are smart enough to win but don't #njano nne and tano are self explanatory lmao #of course CHEEZi has to ask that #get it #lmao #anyway i laughed making this because their pictures look like how they'd react 😭 #the lion guard #tlg #tlg outlanders #tlg outlanders memes #god i really did miss making these

The Oleander Sword is so good. literally feeling like kicking my feet and giggling rn. what happened to Tasha Suri in that year between book 1 and book 2

#book 1 was fine. book 2 is so friggin good i can't stop reading. i feel like a sponge taking it all in #bhumika is bhumika but like ten times more herself and i am screaming. malini finally found a proper manipulate girlboss stride. #even PRIYA who was SO BORING in book 1 is making me lose my marbles. like i wont lie when she became an elder i was like ugh nooooooooo #but it was the absolute best decision ever her trying to rise from a maidservant to the second most important person in the country by #totally blowing off the politics and instead being some sort of a forest wizard is AMAZING #and the yEARNING. FINALLY. THE YEARNING IS HERE. i was SO BORED by the romance in book 1 but THIS IS IT. THIS IS WHAT I WANT. #malini trying to balance her controlling tendencies that are needed more than ever with treating priya properly. #no one figuring out why the godly ordained empress is letting that weirdo waltz around traitorously. #the two of them constantly being on edge bc WHAT IF SOMEONE FIGURES IT OUT. OH MY. THAT WOULD BE SUPER BAD. #AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE YAKSA AND THEIR SECOND COMING. BRO. THE WAY I SCREAMED. THIS IS SO COOL. #anyway i am only 40% through i am praying the book stays this slaying bc i am living for this #eernatalk

listen i am geralt of rivia hater number one but one thing i actually CANNOT stand is when the fandom mischaracterizes him. took one look at this man who speaks very straight-forwardly and matter-of-fact and is a little recalcitrant with his words sometimes and went "haha he communicates in grunts! man who only says 'hm'!" and then won't even write him to speak in full fucking sentences. hello???? hello???????? yes the netflix show was a bad influence on everybody because they were trying too hard to depict geralt as a stoic manly badass but we CANNOT let that distract us from the REAL thing to make fun of geralt for. which are his Constant Unprovoked Monologues

#also the fact that he fakes his dumb stupid little rivian accent because the man was NOT raised in rivia. but i digress #'haha he only says hm!' where were you for every episode when he launched into a speech about the lesser evil. that's like. the whole thing #geralt of rivia will do nothing But talk once you let him. don't give that bitch a chance! he'll start up about honor again!!! #convinced that most of this is because netflix show insisted on showing us him around jaskier so much #and jaskier does not shut up. love him to death. but geralt genuinely does not have time to get a word in edgewise #i will admit that this is something that i had to learn by reading the books and paying more attention to it #but it's not like he DOESN'T do it in the show. if you ever sit with a witcher episode transcript for whatever reason #and really take a look at geralt's lines. man he talks a whole fucking lot. #again cannot emphasize enough that he Monologues. HE TALKS HIS WAY OUT OF SO MANY SITUATIONS. #me when i look filavandrel of the elves in the eyes and 'hm' at him and he lets me go. no bitch he monologued!!!! #terrible. terrible. let this man speak. if i see you fanfic bitches continue making him talk in sentence fragments again i'm gonna kill #as for my own fanfic. i will always prefer a geralt who talks too much to be believable over a geralt who barely speaks at all. #both because i believe in letting him speak his mind which he OBVIOUSLY likes to do. sideeyes him. #and because it's just fucking boring and a little annoying to read speech patterns that don't sound like how people talk. #cough cough lan wanji the untamed. man i'm not sitting here and reading this motherfucker's two word sentences #let him speak!!!!!! #anyway. #geralt of rivia #the witcher #fanfic

the other day when i dropped one of the girls at her dancing class, i heard a mom say she took her son to the opera to see a ballet and he was so dazzled by the fashion and so excited to wear a beautiful tutu. good for him

#as a kid i felt a tiny bit bad for boys because male fashion seemed so boring to me #like don't get me wrong. i hated boys. they were mean and they sucked #and i was already very angry about all the misogyny in this world #but i was never like ''i wish i was a boy'' because boys didn't get to wear beautiful princess dresses. and personally to me that's like #the main goal of life #i knew one boy who liked to wear princess dresses and i happily let him borrow mine lol

strangling my past self How Did You Write Reasonably Sized Fics So Easily

#IVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO NOT GET CARRIED AWAY HELP #sitting here with scenes that should NOT BE 5 THOUSAND FUCKING WORDS LONG HELLOOOOOOOOO #my brain: You Have To Show Every Single Thing. Every Convo. Every Action. They Have To Know #NO! THEY DONT! ITS CLUTTERED AND BORING AND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #see this is what happens when you don't write seriously for FUCKIGN MONTHS- #its fine we're fine im Calm #trying to edit my own stuff is like wrangling some Wild Beast with my bare hands #she has horns! i am bleeding from Several large punctures! i will not let go! #absolutely unprompted #past me: bangin out 2k-5k fics that include multiple scenes and conversations each of perfect length #me now: and so this simple 'good morning' exchange will take ten pages- #WAILING WAILING #but god damn i need to create Something i have to i have to #i feel like im losing my mind.... #I WANT TO BE POSTING FIC AGAIN CMON CMON

[k-chips]

Not the Genshin fandom and the Star Rail fandom fighting over who have the worst female character design when both games SUCK at that lol

Hoyoverse doesn't know how to draw female characters, I thought we already understood that

#like bruh #Don't get me wrong #there are a few good designs #like #kafka navia and klee for example #but it's literally a very low % #2 on 20 #c'mon guys let's be real #genshin impact #honkai #honkai star rail #that's why I don't want to play Honkai Impact #they're all girls in there #and that's mean boring nonsense sexualized designs #no thank you #honkai impact #hoyoverse #mihoyo #once again me shitting on Hoyoverse character design yes

i'm a little sorry for character assassinating amity so often in the princess AU bc i know a lot of people care Deeply about how kind and loving and good amity is.

it's just that . it's really really Really funny to make her worse.

#hopefully her three-dimensionality counters her unceasing use of unreclaimable fantasy slurs. my favorite girl who makes choices #mainly going in i knew she and hunter would have a rivalry and i knew hunter would get nasty about it. and i thought #if hunter's gonna be nasty then amity needs to be a little nasty too. because i don't want to write her as a constantly sad anxious victim #bc it's not fun. amity being the worst person alive though. that is So Much More Fun. #i make jokes about her here that wouldnt end up in earnest fic bc she does in the actual serious AU fics have a significantly #stronger set of principles and empathy and guilt (despite believing she doesn't). #but she is at least somewhat terrible in the earnest fic. if i only let hunter be interesting that'd be self-criming. by making me so bored #toh #princess luz au #amity blight

[gideonisms]

I am so tired of having anxiety. Idk if y'all know this but it's a real bummer. A downer even

#i want to eat multiple meals per day. i want to be able to focus on conversations #rattles bars of my enclosure let me plan for the future without crying. come on man #when the behaviors are erratic and the feeling of doom is constant. anyway #sometimes i'm like what if i stop believing i'll die before age 30 would i lose my unhinged charm #what if i'm like doing well someday but i get boring and don't say as many strange sentences

today has been the most monday ever at it's not even 1PM

#personal #so tired of today #work has been slow and boring #not to mention tomorrow is my 6 month anniversary at work and i don't wanna be here anymore #mostly bc of the upper admin where I work (they all suck and only care about themselves) #and my headphones have been weird and glitchy all day so i can't even listen to music (my office mate won't let me listen to it out loud) #i'm just so tired of all of this #why must we all have to work until we die with no hope in sight? #honestly the only things getting me through today is shopping for an outfit for lizzy mcalpine and mahjong

Okay, so I saw a thing mentioning how you could wag your butt as if you have a tail to kinda mimic the feeling and that's so smart!! For me, unless I'm super super super happy, wagging my butt is usually just a shaking-water-off-my-fur motion T-T Like, I've been feeling a tail behind me pretty consistently for years now, and when I'm really happy it wags and the feeling gets stronger, but wagging for me is an exclusively tail motion. There's no physical signs because just it's moving (and that's part of why wearing a tail feels weird for me, cause mine will be wagging but since I don't move my butt the tail doesn't move with me T-T ). But I might try that sometime to let my friends know my tail is wagging :3

#wagging your tail is such a good stim until no one can see and since you're no longer stimming visibly folks don't think you're happy :') #also I've been feeling pretty doggish lately!! Normally I don't talk about it all so I guess getting to tell folks is letting it out a bit #but I just wanna run around and bare my teeth and bark at something #I've kinda figured out that I'm prolly a working dog? or at least a mix of one #but I most certainly don't listen to instructions easily XD #I'm more of a “will work for fun but will stop as soon as someone tells me to” kind of dog #Like I'm so happy to finally have classes again I would've been soooooo bored without them #But catch me in a week or so feeling upset that I have to work 😭 #And two of my classes are the kind of class that you can't easily work ahead so I can't just ride off the early days' enthusiasm #So things are certainly gonna be interesting #But at least me and the college buddies are back to our old shenanigans #*wags tail* I love em so much #We're thinking about going to a beach soon hopefully none of us get stuck by a jellyfish /reference #alterhuman #nonhuman #therian #dogkin #caninekin
