one cute detail about murderbot is that its always running calculations on how likely an event is to happen. its always commenting on the statistical likelihood of something. and yet. it still thinks “but what if theres a space monster, like in my shows”

The way I read only the first option (#adhd) and then immediately scrolled down to the reblogs to start evaluating if I could reblog this as a "Murderbot mood" post, only to realize I'd missed something, and scrolled back up to find out I'd been had. Good job, OP. 😂

(Still gonna tag this as murderbot mood - which I only use for non-Murderbot posts - and see if that fools anybody, lol)

Pick the option that applies or whatever, I'm not your boss.

Found an Easter egg in the book The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles by Malka Older!

It's the second (and latest) book in her mystery series The Investigations of Mossa and Pleiti. I can highly recommend both it and the first book, The Mimicking of Known Successes.

The simplest way to describe the series is that it's very similar (I'd say intentionally so) to the Sherlock Holmes stories, but if Sherlock and Watson were reimagined as lesbians with chemistry that was more than just potential subtext, and they lived in a future post-apocalyptic colony in space with definite Victorian-type/steampunk world building, but with a healthy amount of foods and other cultural aspects from many different cultures around the world.

In fact, one thing that surprised me at first was that the books' vocabulary commonly uses not only formal/older English words, but also words and expressions from many different languages, only some of which were familiar to me, but most of which can be understood from context. It's a choice that makes sense, though, for a society that's been removed from Earth for a long time, and what it would look like for different Earth cultures to synthesize into totally new cultures and groupings of people over time.

Anyway, these are the kind of books that you're likely to enjoy if you like TMBD. As a matter of fact, in the first book's acknowledgments, Malka Older listed Martha Wells first among the other authors she was thanking for their writing and how it impacted her. So if you're looking for a fun and interesting scifi read, these books are worth it! :)

my favorite hobby is drawing characters stuck in shapes

(image ID: digital art of secunit/murderbot, crouched in a blue square with an arm raised as if trying to push its way out of the box. secunit has mid-brown toned skin, with cyan inorganic parts on its face and arms and grey-blue inorganic legs. it's wearing a loose purple hoodie and grey-blue pants. in the background are floating white rectangles with blue binary code written in them /end ID)

Thinking about the way Murderbot refers to itself and SecUnits in general as murderbots (derogatory) and then ComfortUnits as sexbots (derogatory)

Like yes. It definitely had some issues with ComfortUnits as a concept that it needed to work through but it's also funny to think that maybe it'd just be like that for any given "unit," regardless of function.

CulinaryUnit: Oh if you need a weapon there's knives in the kitchen, if you want to stop by.

Murderbot: (Disdainfully) I don't need to take advice from a chefbot.

Murderbot: (Internally) Yes, I did stop by the kitchen, and I did get the fucking knives. Whatever.

Murderbot specifically saying no to borrowing Three's armor because it doesn't think it deserves to use someone else's armor to protect itself

person who takes the majority of hits for their team, not because they're necessarily more durable than the rest of them, but because they think they deserve it more

#at first i read the post and thought “this would be mb except it is more durable than its humans” #but then i remembered mb did this with three who is definitely equally durable #murderbot #the murderbot diaries #system collapse #secunit three #murderbot posts that make me feel so attacked in the middle of writing my own post
