we get a lot of really great stuff in system collapse about murderbot's relationships with ART and ratthi, which makes sense, because it spends almost the entire book with them. but i also love how even though mensah isn't there for most of the story, other people keep reminding mb of her:

chapter 2, page 25: “From ART’s personnel file, she [Karime] was older than Mensah and she didn’t look like an intrepid space explorer, either, even in the protective environmental suit.”

2, 27: “It took Karime three seconds to process the abrupt statement. (She was almost as good at not looking annoyed as Mensah was.) She kept her expression neutral and patient.”

2, 28: “In the underground colony room, Karime lifted her brows. ‘Another occupied site?’ I thought she was being careful not to show too much reaction. It was the way Mensah would have played it.”

4, 70: “Iris looked at me and I saw her hesitate, because her hesitation looked a lot like Dr. Mensah’s hesitation. And I realized I really didn’t want to go down there.”

5, 104: "Iris has that same thing as Dr. Mensah, the thing where she’s able to look and sound calm under circumstances where shit is possibly about to go down.”

it's spent so much time with her and it knows her so well and respects her so much that she's the model against which it compares all other humans. it thinks about her when they're not together. it's protective of her. it has such total faith in her competence. it (non-romantically) loves her and doesn't want to not see her again. idk man, it just gets to me! and they were teammates (oh my god they were teammates!!)

bonus:

I said, aloud, "You have to be kidding me." (ch. 2, p. 28)

seven pages later, in reaction to the same thing:

Mensah had had time to review the feed video. She muttered, "Oh, you have to be kidding me." Yeah.

twinsies 🥰

#something about their relationship is just sooo potent because of the structural power that mensah has over mb #and how mb has always been trying to navigate how much it cares about her and respects her with how afraid it is #of being a thing that she owns #because even if she doesn't exercise that power over it the fact remains that the context in which they live makes that possible #like! socially constructed ideas of personhood creating inherent violence in the human-construct relation! #even if she means well. even if it's necessary for mb to have a legal owner so that some corporate doesn't claim it as property. #it's not that mensah is an unsafe person it's that the power imbalance is intrinsically baked in because of #the broader social context of constructs as nonpersons. as property and equipment #all of that is true! AND it respects her and loves her. AND they're teammates! they are both trying so hard #to create sth just and beautiful out of sth really messed up. and trusting each other to collaborate in that way! #it was SO necessary for mb to leave at the end of ASR and SO necessary for it to get proof at the end of ES #that she would not try to stop it from leaving. that it was free. that it was autonomous #idk idk i'm rambling i just. i care them #the murderbot diaries #mb teammates #mb sc #system collapse spoilers #system collapse #my posts #murderbot

One thing that's fascinating about Daisy as a character is that she's so powerfully slow. Not in wit or intellect, but physically, as a hunter. She knows her power and she has no need to rush or flail, it's easy to be calm when you have no difficulty asserting yourself.

This makes it all the more clear when the power slips from her grasp. She rushes, fumbles, makes mistakes. There's very few times that she slips up, early on at least. Aside from a few select moments she maintains the gravitas and power of a wolf or a bear all the way from her introduction to the coffin, but after the coffin things change.

Basira has every reason to be upset at her change, because after that trauma Daisy becomes a different thing entirely. Her demeanour changes, she speeds up, she's skittish, she loses her strength. She's no longer slow and certain but weak and clingy.

It might feel wrong to want that slow and steady person back but relationships are like music and if the tempo changes the balance shifts and that can lead to terrible things, things that cause you to lose eachother.

Am I saying that perhaps if Daisy had somehow managed to avoid traumatisation, keep her tempo stable, that she wouldn't have had to sacrifice herself?

Maybe.

Even in her early moments of irrationality there is a swift calculation to it, an understanding. If Daisy had been able to keep a grasp on her fierce intellect perhaps the violence of the hunt could have been suppressed!

But no, what use is there in thinking like that? After all, animals can never live as long as humans.

#Ah she's just so delightfully problematic.... I love a character with no real redeeming traits but their relationships... #Like yes girl! Show us that human connection is formed on a personal level outside of Morals!! #But she's also hot and queer and angry so that definitely helps.... #Acab as always but it's impossible not to love daisy as a person (or nonperson) #tma #the magnus archives #the magnus institute #tma analysis #tma meta #daisy tonner #daisy tma #basira hussain #jonathan sims #tma the hunt #tma the buried #Tw mentions of death #Also if you read this far in the tags you deserve to know that this post came into my head at 1am and I couldn't sleep til I wrote it #I'm being tormented by tma and the only way to survive is by posting about it

was gonna say “i feel like an npc” but like i’m not even that. npc’s can still have dialogue. i’m like an extra in tv show that’s not allowed to actually speak because that’s above my pay grade. you bump into me on the street and apologize and i just silently nod my head and leave without saying anything

#girl almost walked straight into me and said oh sorry! #i didn’t even do ANYTYING i didn’t acknowledge her at all i just left 😭 #i always do shit like that #i feel so nonperson #personal

[catfuyus]

i just feel like.. in another universe, the people who have me blocked & i could’ve really gotten along 🥺

#i must be super annoying #but it’s hard to know that without someone telling me but it’s rude to tell someone yknow ? #anyways that’s like 2 people i wanted to befriend that ended up blocking #maybe i have bad vibes but it could just be a number of nonpersonal things #it just made me a little sad 🥺 #i wish i could like fix myself or work on myself but I don’t know what specifically is wrong with me #and maybe it’s nothing at all maybe it’s not personal #anyways I just wanted to say it made me a little sad I guess #it is what it is #venting tag

make an isopod! not a lot of options, but i love isopods, or as some folks call them, rollypollys! which is the best fucking name ever. in dutch theyre called 'pissebedden' which translates roughly to 'piss bed' which you would probably be able to know without the translation. Show me yours!

Hi! I have a question about neopronouns. How do they work in different languages? Do you just leave the ae/aer untranslated, do you try to make them sound more french/spanish/whatever, does it depend on the person and are you supposed to ask for their preferences? I ususally stick to whatever translateable pronoun someone uses if they use multiple pronouns, but I'm not sure if its rude just sticking to one because of translation issues

Totally depends on the person! I don't think I've ever set my pronoun preferences in different languages down, so I'll just say: when referring to me in a language that has a common gender neutral pronoun, or one that is newly being used among non binary speakers of that language, use it for me. If there's a reasonable way to adapt ae/aer or te/ter, use that. If there's absolutely no other option, you can use the equivalent of "it" or "she".

I think generally speaking most people who use a neopronoun would prefer the closest equivalent you can manage, but it's good to ask if you can. Else, go neutral.

#tesseranswers #really not a fan of she in english but as a last ditch it's much better than the alternative #idk i MIGHT warm up to it/its in english #generally my nonhuman-ness is not equivalent to nonperson-ness if that makes sense? #so 'it' doesn't really hit the right vibe for my kind of robot

my ability to give and receive love really has been irreversibly damaged lol

Elisabeth das musical Czech production appreciation pt. 12

Mama, wo bist du and Nichts, nichts, gar nichts with Pavel Režný as Smrt/Death, Ondřej Kapusta as little Rudolf & Michaela Štiková Gemrotová as Elisabeth

#elisabeth das musical #elisabeth plzeň #love the use of the white drapery in these scenes #for Rudolf's room it's like a nonpersonal sanitized space the monarchy created for him #and Death feels like this unwelcome element in this setting #also love that Death in these pictures looks like this is his first time ever interacting with a child #and Sisi gets a gorgeous bustle dress for Nichts nichts gar nichts #edit: added another photo of Nichts nichts gar nichts that Michaela freshly posted

okay so i am doing some preliminary googling before i reach out to Professional, and there's a framework for personhood which breaks it down into multiple different categories, which i think is very helpful?

like, it talks about moral personhood - which isn't what most people mean, but includes both regular people and corporations - the capacity to behave in a moral or immoral way, and going along with that, the presumed obligation to behave in a moral way. i can think of some people who would object with this notion (goldwave, im looking at you mostly, although im sure there are others who would object also)

then theres metaphysical personhood, which is what most people are discussing, and the qualities that make someone a person in this way aren't pinned down; it's very hotly debated. there's a number of different schools of thought who all view this completely differently.

there's physical personhood, which is mostly not debated but is also viewed very differently by different schools of thought

and there's legal personhood, which is important to the novel, but not the question of it. like, it's integral to the setting, and probably i will have it so that legal personhood has been extended to artificial lifeforms, but that doesn't answer the question of what makes a person, really, because the type of personhood the book is about it more metaphysical.

anyways, this breakdown is really useful. i can automatically say that artificial life forms would be moral persons in this setting; they have ethical programming, surely. if you understand what is moral and immoral, you have to choose between them; you behave in either a moral or immoral fashion. having the capacity to understand these things, i think, is the bar - otherwise people who haven't studied enough philosophy to have a strong system of ethics could be argued to not be moral persons, and i disagree with that. (I don't think the argument would be sucessful, anyways.)

the article i read also breaks down some of the proposed qualities of metaphysical personhood, and this opens the door for a sort of metric through which personhood can be evaluated.

#book talk #personhood #i dont like the part where they say that not all humans are people #although i see their argument in the situation they described #i think i believe too much in spiritual-type metaphysical personhood to believe that someone is rendered a nonperson #in any circumstance except death - and as i stated before #then its the *body* that isnt a person #not the essence of the person itself #warnings for the link #abortion cw #brain injury cw #pregnancy cw #babies cw #Long post

FUCKED UP how I can't post art on this account

#actually being hyperfixated on this is difficult for art generally because #you either draw it using references. which NO NOPE I'M OUT FUCK YOU #or you draw it WITHOUT references which is also stupid #like oh I guess I'll just draw him as a twink now? i mean I GUESS he gets. described. that way. a lot? #but with everyone else you are still using the og appearance but there's a mental barrier for googling references #like if you see the reference you're like AHHG FUCK why am I drawing him again #and also art ideas in general were hard. at least until this most recent book with so many drawable scenes I guess #but it's still fucked up because you are actively choosing to draw art only 1 person aside from yourself will actually see #despite this you can't draw art of anything *else* because your brain is fully occupied with this and your personal life #which you have always been quite allergic to drawing art of #and you can't draw nonpersonal og stuff because your art's development has hinged on fandom for a very very long time #so now it doesn't feel right #you also get a fuckton of shitpost ideas and none of them are understandle without like. a mountain of context #sigh it's fucking 5 am now WHAT am I doing
