you can be both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine, just sayin'

edit:

fucking read the tags before you reblog a Hamas apologist saying "you can't be both pro the oppressor and pro the oppressed". I'm talking about the countries, not their governments.

#it's not a black and white world #you can talk about Palestinian suffering without exclusing the mass rape or the entire state of Israel #you can talk about the hostages and the terrorist attacks without calling for the destruction of Gaza #you can call out antisemetism in Palestine without claiming they're animals #you can call out islamophobia in Israel without claiming they're animals #all of these messages are for both sides #israel palestine #antisemitism #islamophobia #israel #palestine #ישראבלר #free Palestine #pro palestine #pro israel

love how the “if buddie turns canon” has now turned into “when buddie becomes canon”

#I call that successful mass delusion #its inevitable now right ?? #don’t get me wrong I’m really hoping they don’t rush the bucktommy arc #buck needs to take the time to figure out who he is before buddie even remotely becomes a thing #but the fact they made buck bi at all? #speaks volumes #i really don’t think they’d do that and not make buddie canon #but does that mean eddie also gets his own self-discovery arc?? #i hope so #eddie diaz #evan buckley #tommy kinard #buddie #bucktommy #911 abc #911 spoilers

Okay, my brain refuses to think about anything other than Murderbot, so I looked at every use of the word "friend[s]" in TMBD and... created some pie charts. Normal human activities.

Some Thoughts™ I had while putting this together (under the cut):

In All Systems Red, Murderbot notes that the PresAux crew are all close friends (twice! and goes on to explain their internal relationships which I think is very cute). This is pretty much the only use of 'friends' in ASR, except for when Murderbot says that SecUnits can't be friends with each other.

It seems that this may be one of the first times Murderbot has ever really been around a group of friends before? Murderbot notes that this is not the norm for its contracts and admits that the fact that they are all friends and the way they interact with each other make it actually enjoy that contract (before!!!! the hostile attack, so it already enjoys this contract before they start seeing it as a person etc ghghhhh). [Inference: Friendship seems enjoyable.]

The first character that calls Murderbot its friend is ART in Artificial Condition. Murderbot immediately refutes this (and then goes on to call ART its friend to its clients for the rest of the book). [Inference: Maybe ART is Murderbot's friend. And maybe that is... agreeable]

Rogue Protocol has more than twice as many instances of the word 'friend' as any of the other novellas. Why? Miki. Friendship and its implications for non-humans are a central theme because Miki is friends with everyone. Murderbot initially scoffs at the notion that Miki and Miki's humans are friends. At the end of the book, after witnessing how desperately Don Abene tried to stop Miki from trying to save them, and her grief after its death, Murderbot has to admit that she had in fact been Miki's friend. [Inference: Humans can be friends with bots and can sincerely care about them]

In Exit Strategy, Murderbot tentatively uses the word "friends" for its humans for the first time (several times actually). It questions whether it can actually call them its friends or not and later realizes that it had been afraid what admitting that the humans are its friends would do to it. At the end of the book, Mensah tells Murderbot the PresAux crew are its friends, which is the first time a human has directly said that to it (at least on-page). [Inference: Humans can and want to be Murderbot's friends]

In Network Effect, Murderbot seems to be more habituated to the word 'friend', confidently calling ART and Ratthi its friends, like it is no longer just trying the concept on unsure if it fits. There are many instances in which other characters refer to MB as ART's friend or the other way around and Murderbot's humans refer to Murderbot as their friend several times. Generally, there seems to be less hesitancy, because yes, all of them are Murderbot's friends, why wouldn't they be. [Inference: SecUnits can have friends. This SecUnit has friends. They care about it a lot.]

Conclusion: The Murderbot Diaries tell the story of a construct that does not seem to consider the possibility of friendship for itself and is fine with that - until it accidentally starts caring a little too much and suddenly more and more people annex it as a friend (ew) to the point where it can no longer deny that this is happening and has to begrudgingly admit that yes, it has friends now and maybe that is actually not a bad thing.

#the murderbot diaries #murderbot #𓄿 #hi i'm READY to write a thesis about murderbot i am having way too much fun with this #i created a pretty excel spreadsheet and everything #i don't know why i did this but now i can look at them while i think about this more! so i figured i'd share them haha #i didn't count uses of 'friendly' but special shoutout to when MB is all alone in its cold cubicle missing 20% of its body mass #and starts putting on a show because 'the friendly noise would keep it company' 😭😭 #i feel sick thinking about murderbot all alone on its own not knowing what its like to have friends watching media for 'the friendly noise' #also YES okay i wanted to make a point about miki there but i just #couldn't bring myself to talk about that more so... yeah #also uhhh this data is very subjective #i didn't count particularly ironic uses of 'friend' and generally did not count every instance of friend and sometimes it was a hard call #also i probably shouldn't have counted the times murderbot refered to drones or secsystems as its friends (often after hacking them) #but murderbot does seem to care about them and shows kindness and respect and sometimes points out that a system is friendly #so while i don't think MB means “friend” in the same way referring to them as when it refers to ART for instance #i still think its CUTE and also kinda funny how many times that happened so i decided to keep those!!! #but yeah take my data with a grain of salt lol

I think there are a lot of valid criticisms to make of Garrus as a character (and what I like about his writing the most is that you can actually do this in-game), but when people dislike him because "he's a cop!!", it's so funny to me.

Like yeah ACAB and all, don't fall for copaganda, but like ... You can't seriously dislike Garrus because he's a cop when you're literally playing Military Propaganda: The Game. Garrus expicitly joins you because you have even less oversight than he does. You play not only as a high-ranking Alliance soldier, but you become a Spectre, beyond touch by even the Alliance itself. Garrus joins you because he thinks he can get what you have. Because he thinks you will let him get away with shit he didn't get away with before. And yeah, that's off-putting for sure, but think about it for a moment. What does this say about Shepard's position in this, that he can reasonably believe this, and that you can actually agree with him (if Renegade) without consequence? That you can decide that yes, I will indulge this, and the game just lets you do that and makes it a perfeclty valid approach to being a Spectre.

"Oh but my Shepard is moral and would use her powers for good! She's a Paragon! Garrus is bad because he doesn't believe in regulations!"

Hmm, so you're saying that the problem with this power structure is that there are good cops and bad cops? And not that the whole system is fucked from the start? Hmm ... Seems like you've fallen for some sort of ... proper gander ...

My point is, dislike any character you want. It's perfeclty valid to dislike Garrus, because he's bloodthirsty, at times amoral, a vigilante, thinks he's above the law etc, and yes, those are often the traits of a wannabe bad cop, but to dislike him only because "he's a cop!" while other characters, including your own precious Shepard, get a pass?

Bro, you're playing as military in a game that glorifies violence and ignoring politicians and protocol. A running gag is hanging up on your employers because they're silly little politicians who talk too much and want to hold you accountable. You're basically Cop 2.0. Ultracop. The galaxy's cop mommy.

Put things into perspective and get an actual reason to hate the guy. Because if he's a cop, then what are you?

#this isn't me saying you can't dislike him #or that you can't dislike him for being a cop #but when people are like 'ew he's a cop gross!' and then make cutesy headcanons for their sheps #it's like ... bro ... #seems like you're just parroting shit without understanding why they're bad #mass effect #garrus vakarian #basically if you wanna criticize him for being a cop #you need to criticize the whole game for being what it is #you can't just single him out because he's arguably the most popular character #and you're salty that you don't like him #so you just call him a cop and move on #my most hated cop character is uuh . whatshisnuts #captain bailey .. fuck that dude fr

Anyways this whole submarine thing has proven that people on this site aren’t actually able to commit to eating the rich.

#oh no there is a 19 year old on there #he’s a little itty bitty kid who has no thoughts of his own #so he signed a legal document that said you could die in this thing #fuck that #he’s 19 rich kid #he knows exactly what he's doing #they made their decisions to go into that death tube to go to a mass grave of working class and immigrants #these billionaires have contributed to the climate crisis #the so called kid #would have one day also have become another rich person sucking the life out of the world #so fuck him and fuck the rest of them #let the sea take their souls #it is their retribution for the souls of immigrants and working people they have taken #oceangate #titan #titanic

i know as a garrus fan i can't really talk and i don't want to cause a whole Dilemma but the artwork for the mass effect board game is pissing me right off because it's so clear 90% of the effort went into liara and then everyone else is just tweaked screenshots and they claim there's no use of ai but shepard's face doesn't look right either or it's cut/pasted off something

#granted if it's called 'hagalaz' then surely it's about dealing with the shadow broker and thus liara is the actual centre of attention #but at that point why not just use screenshots. like either they hired a professional artist to make this and that's their outcome #and therefore like no creativity or research. or they cheaped out and got someone cheap who didn't have betterment resources #or something in between. or they got crunched. but just??? i know this is petty but it's just irritated me as an artist lol #especially considering this is endorsed/an official product and such like what happened #mass effect #edit: don't know why i typed 'betterment' but 🤷

Fascinating how misgendering is akin to and on the same level as real life physical violence to you guys. But calling someone an abelist slur is a-okay.

Also interesting you resort to calling me a "d*ke" despite me not being a lesbian. Almost like "t*rf = lesbian" to you and you also hate lesbians.

Also note how none of these things are arguments. You can't argue against the facts laid out, and so you resort to immature homophobic and ableist insults to what? Try and offend me?

Wasn't your community just pissing and moaning that unfair blog deletion was some egregious horrific phobic offense. Y'alll don't seem to pressed about abusing the system to get people you don't like banned/deleted.

The only pathetic one I see here is you. Tumblr is a side thing for me, I have things I do in the real world that progress my future. What are you doing with your time and life?

#asks #anon #i tried blocking anon to see if it would show a user in my blocked accounts but it didnt #alas i wanted to try and catch whoever it was #tho I'm gonna guess perhaps the artist of the hyena and invertebrate piece. but could be anyone honestly. you're all the same #unless i did it wrong and there is a way to find out who is sending the anons #mutuals I'm really sorry anon is mass reporting. idrk what to say to try and keep your accounts safe? maybe going private for a bit #mass reporting feminist blogs while complaing that tumblr admin is 'q***rphobic' is the same vein as having acab stickers #and then calling the cops on feminists having a meeting or event that doesn't center you

No, let's talk about it.

If it ever seems like there are very little active Black star wars fans in online spaces, just know reylos did that.

Even before the laying pipe situation and the freemyniggajay incident, a vast majority of them were either being viciously antiblack or closing rank around reylos who were being viciously antiblack.

They mass reported Black fandom blogs and propped up Black reylos whenever they were called out for doing so, they edited Kylo over Finn during intimate scenes between Finn and Rey then acted like Black fans were overreacting when we pointed out how racist that was, the mountains of racist fanfiction they wrote about finn then posted in the finn tag including one where he was a slave and so much more.

They worked hard to push Black fans out of these spaces and they did it on purpose, dont let the rebrand fool you.

#thotty speaks #thotty rants #im so aggravated with the way they were able to just pretend they never did anything wrong and people call them out for nothing #I was in the trenches i saw with my own 2 eyes how nasty they are #this 'um er you calling me racist is just misogyny!' act really served them well its sick actually #and like obv Disney had a hand in the mass exodus of Black folks from the fandom from the way they treat their Black actors #But the fans? the fans have been tryin to get us out the paint since the second they realized we were here #being Black in any fandom is just 'what brand of racism do you want? neckbeard or fandom mom?' #30 year old uwu smol bean fandom racism really makes my ass itch i swear #star wars #anti reylo
