#how did I miss everything 😭

[scificrows]

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

rewatching the tyrus storyline and kira wanted tj so bad it’s embarrassing like she was really throwing herself onto a boy who was clearly giving major heart eyes to his boy best friend right in front of her . like omg she didn’t give a fuckkk she was like i can change him 😍 and she was so wrong like nobody has ever been more wrong

#like thats so funny to me #he did not care at all #cyrus was like ‘u guys are good together’ and tj was like ‘EWWWWW GROSSS i’m not dating her wtf 😭😭😭😭’ #obsessed #the closet was glass for him truly #i miss them sm #i forgot how beautiful the bench scene was omg like i was smiling so hard #when tj starts reaching for cyrus’ hand omg i was DYINGGG #my heart can’t handle that sweetness #i can’t believe it’s 2023 and i’m making a tyrus post #going back to my roots :) #this is why tyrus stays in the username forever …. they were everything to me #they will always be like iconic in a way that nothing else could be iconic #okay sorry tyrus rant over i’ll be resuming my regularly scheduled sitcom content shortly 😇💪 #tyrus #cyrus goodman #tj kippen #andi mack

When Katsuki was fallen on the ground…. he probably thought about Izuku rushing to his side and offering his hand to help pick him back up like he’s always done since they were kids

Katsuki needed to see his hero’s kind hand now more than ever... but it wasn’t there, at it’s usual place, outstretched and waiting for him… and he started crying because he realised that Izuku wasn't coming to save him this time…

so Katsuki focused all his resolve on doing his best to be strong for Izuku instead.

“Don’t give up, Dynamight! The guy you’re waiting for will… Deku will definitely come!”

#🫠 #bakudeku #bkdk canon #my heart 👉🏻💔 #my own edit made me think about this #idk if I’m koheis friend or not coz he makes the love hurt so bad #and I can’t stop thinking about this #op #kana writes #Kacchan loves deku #how does Edgeshot know he’s in love #bnha 360 #bnha 362 #Katsuki Bakugou #I miss you so much 💔 #listen to the songs lyrics from timestamp and cry with me pls #😭😭😭😭 #despite everything AFO did to him Kacchan stood his ground in the end #he’s everything #this makes me so sad I need him to wake up I need him to take Izuku’s hand 😭

violentine literally has everything. tension to friends to lovers. i wall myself off from people to keep myself safe but theres something about you. we understand each other. going against your group to stand up for this person and what you believe is right. "i saw that you were in danger and i just acted without thinking". battle team. co leaders. "ive lost so many people and i cant lose you too i wont". struggling single parent finding someone who supports her And her kid. not-so-ex-girlfriend one of the main villains. go to war together. captured together. escape together but lost in the chaos and later reuniting. twice. fighting ex together. twice. making it back (mostly) safe and sound and building a real home worth fighting for together

BUT theyre in a choice game so you can also have: betrayal. manipulated by not-so-ex-girlfriend in a moment of severe weakness into agreeing with the wrong side. fighting against each other (and later apologizing). severe injury? DEATH?? no matter what a sacrifice is Made???

#clem looking for a home and finding one at ericsons. vi never seeing ericsons as a home and even wanting to leave until clem showed up 😭 #clem wouldnt have even been ALLOWED to stay at ericsons post ep1 if not for violet sticking up for her throughout ep2 #violets act of standing up for clem being the catalyst for her stepping into a leadership position. seeing her self confidence grow sm #clem already knowing how to lead. helping take some weight off violets shoulders. balancing the work of keeping everyone going #THEY ARE EACH OTHERS ROCKS!!!!!! AAAAHHH #star watching date making up their own constellations.......slow dancing............. #calling each other girlfriends.... #4 kisses 🥺 #3 way girlfriend smackdown sdfgsdg TWICE #they feed me so well #their ship name is also S tier what can i say but thats just bonus points #holds the mic out anybody got anything to add did i miss anything #these two inflict so many emotions upon me every time i replay they are everything 2 me #it speaks #twdg #violentine

why are like 95% of genshin mlm ships so boring and cliche😭

#idk they feel so dull lol #the only mlm ships i like are the scara ships (kazuscara and chiscara) i feel like that’s because scara has such a fun personality and #character design also his colour palette looks so nice with any character #i like kaebedo ofc but they don’t count because they’re not rly popular and have like 0.5 in game material lol #but everything else is so dull #like zhongli/childe kaveh/al haitham ayato/thoma the fontaine guys idk their names #SOOOOO BORING … #wait but i did have a ayato/itto phase they are actually super cute 😭😭😭 i love their dynamic it’s so adorable i would love for more ayaitto #i love how ayaitto compliment eachother it makes so much sense and thoma rly does just feel like a sweet friend honestly i love him for tha #lowkey miss inazuma now lol #WHEREAS most of the wlw ships are soooo fun #idk man like beiguang eimiko while not my favourite ever they are still super fun and cute and i like seeing them #they don’t feel boring lol #i think it’s because i already like their characters individually #plus shenjin and guiping #they’re all so cute #the women of genshin impact are so nicely written now that i think abt it #there’s also lumine/heat and ayalumi #*JEHT NOT HEAT WTF #KOKOSARA beloveds #dehya and dunyazard #not rly a fan of the fontaine girls tho they look kinda basic lol #don’t take this post too seriously i’m just rambling lol

It fell on him, the obligation to continue the creation of destructive yet, obedient creatures. The ends justified the means, and if the means meant falling apart at the seams, then so be it. And so, his father’s puppets regularly fell apart without ever owning a dream. And he wondered, how could his father ever control their strings, when he too, had no control of his own? The boy’s heart never hardened while observing his father work but then... Then he saw his uncle go. He saw him go, he saw him go, he saw him go, and the boy's gentle heart went cold.

#SHE WAS ON FIRE #kankuro #naruto #naruto fanart #i love him 😭 such an underrated character. his character design? *chef's kiss* literally. his nose and face paint is everything to me. #anyone remember that second naruto movie where he encases the bat girl inside his puppet and the slicing is heard? chilling. brutal. #i love the goof but it's hard to forget he can actually be quite... gruesome. then again... these are sand villagers we're talking about. #(was talking about it in my other dress-up game blog how the sand sibs remind me of my headcanoned north sibs and well... #those northerners don't have chill either. alas: here i am. dragged back into this fandom once more. gladly though. gladly) #jj rambles #ok ill shut up now #(ok damn. i just remembered that kankuro wouldn't have known his mother that well nor miss her. he was probably only 2. ok damn #so now i have to replace her in the caption with their uncle 😭 damn. i don't think any of them got to fully know her. they were so young #when she died 😭 did they even have anyone to really love them? im sorry i need a moment 🚶‍♂️)

[elibeeline]

Strong world is the nami and luffy twins manifesto written by oda this is my one piece.

You see luffy's finishing attack with his giant hammer being fueled by lightning which is nami's main weapon with her clima tact and she even made the guy steer the islands towards the cyclone so even if the lighting isn't produced by her the lighting is provided by her either way so luffy AND her finished that guy and even luffy attacked after nami announced how he will lose which also means nami knew and trusted luffy to end him after that and of course he did and

Oh my god luffy making nami explain herself about the message he left on the tone dial and being pissed that she didn't trust him to save and protect her but he got so mad and didn't hear the whole message and she asked luffy to save her omg....... she knew after all that they will come and win..... I love this ending I am going to walk into the sea now goodbye.

Why are whitebeard and ace on the ending credits I already cried. Watching aces part again cause he looks so good. Hello alive dead wife

#the animation in this one..... hell yes..... #img little luffy i missed you!!!! robin doesnt look like herself in this one and franky doesnt have his voice 😞😞 what a disrespect in his #first movie appearance....... franky i will avenge you. your fit is hard tho. well his voice could be his va with a cold. its weird #why is brook smoking a blunt ajdhsksj and sanji tease...... #the 3d is too good here.... and someone wants nami bc of her abilities instead of like well everything else.... i might accept this #sanji going insane ajdksjsk zoro what are you wearing on your head...... #love the duck following nami like well a baby duck... omg i thought if the duck electrifies the animals in the water nami is fried too #and indeed he was i didnt expect it to follow logic ajdhsj nami found luffy of course #why is nami on top of luffy ajdhsjs doesnt she trust the bird to fly or what #THE BARTENDER FROM THE PIRAGE RACE MOVIE IS HERE TOO!!!! #nami getting arlong flashbacks but now worse #kinda love the crew being protective over her and not to fall into stereotypes but it goes off every time.... they got her away form arlong #nami and usopp omg...... nami once again sacrificing herself... suffered more than jesus.... also her bracelet... i didnt know that #luffy is so mad.... he gets so mad when people leave.... (he gets sad but ofc he cant be sad so next best thing) #NAMI GOT SICK FROM THE TREES!!!! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!!! #they got changed and everything..... did robin tell them they had to follow the dress code and they all did?? qjsjaka luffys first cape also #luffy that was such a slay. why are they all carrying fire power. he called them a suicide squad... and well a lot of them actually #wasnt expecting this to turn into a mafia movie. surprised luffy knows how to shoot one of those. #nami isnt gonna sacrifice herself luffy said... while she rigs epxlosives in a place she cant move.... luffy she needs an intervention #oh my god. nojiko telling her to have fun.... every time i remember luffy promised gen san to keep her happy i die a little #luffy is gonna get a stroke he is so fucking mad 'nami ill beat this guy and well go back together' ok 🥺🥺 #sanji understands perverted gorilla 😭😭 #brook got robin instead of sanji.... sick ennies lobby reference bro #also how come franky didnt get his own movie.... like in this one franky AND brook join. confirming my theory that brook doesnt let franky #get confortable in the crew and be with them as the new one for a while bc brook joins immediately after and he doesnt get time to breathe #nami don't cry omg.... she was ready to never see them again omg #i thot nami was gonna electrocute him..... or make him eat the cyclone or smth.... well she said her peace at least #talking tag #watching one piece #watching one piece movies

My cousins decided to pirate hazbin hotel while we were over at their house so now I have thoughts abt the show I guess

#txt #the songs r the only thing I think are good bc the voice actors are so good 😭😭😭 #still can’t believe the ppl they got tbh. #everything else. eh. hm. well. it certainly is a show! that’s rushed as hell! #so much happened & logically I know the character development had to have happened it but it’s like #where is it. how did it happen. #it felt like. blink & you’ll miss it sort of moments tbh. #but I guess shout out to Andrew Underberg for making musical theater bangers #I also just want to make redesigns bc it’s like everyone & there mom are doing redesigns #& im like I would also like to take a jab at making these characters interesting in my own head.

how to make business plans: spend 2 weeks looking for a website to make a visual plan guide that you can collaborate with business partners, but you end up nowhere because all of them require paid subscriptions to do more than a few basic things. except you don't want to pay for these because you don't have a business yet and therefore no money!!!! but you need more than basic features (basically you can only put 50-100 items on your board with free account and i will definitely need more)

#WHY DOES EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET HAVE TO BE SUBSCRIPTION NOW #i miss the days where you could use a website and all the features for FREE. #or at best only have one-time fee or subs for advanced stuff only profitable big businesses need and can also afford #the average person is starting to get locked out of the internet. we already pay for the internet itself. everything is too expensive #i need to make my own business so i can afford to live but everything to mae a business costs too much!!!!!!! #im too autistic for this shit. “this shit” being “a profitable member of society” #i cant get a big cool job to make a ton of money and then afford to easily become a millionaire #i bet most millionaires and all billionairs didnt work a day in their life to afford to start their businesses #and if they say they did they lie #lee rambles #i found a free unlimited one but you have to download the program and save everything locally #so it doesn't look like you cam collab with other people which defeats the purpose of what im trying to do 😭 #i wanted to use milanote or whatever its called because i liked how you can link separate pages to keep things clear/uncluttered #but i dont want to pay $12 a month i think it was? to put more than 100 items on the boards. that goes so fast #but i might have to use it and just cram things together in a messy fashion to not hit that limit...... #you can double the amount by referring people to make an account but still. i hate bekng limited #and being forced to pay to not have limits!!!! let me be free and only pay for advanced stuff i can live without for fuck sake #i dont know what im doing. but im making an attempt to business or something

man the weirdest thing about 2024 so far is my nyquil induced dreams this time meant I dreamt about lexa. in the year of our lord 2024!!!!!!

#I have never dreamt about lexa before brain 😭 #like tbh! I do tend to have vivid dreams! #but they’re usually like. some weird stress job related shit #(tbt that time I was stressed about a call up and made up an even MORE fucked up way to file evidence #by having to paper file everything except the filing window was somehow a fucking stump in the middle of the woods where faries would accept #the filing or not???????) or like. idk sometimes you have intense dreams about dating your friends and things are weird for a bit. #but this?????? #anyway that’s how the 100 dominated my brain entering 2024 happy new year everyone #also I’ve been sick this past week (did I catch covid at the holiday party we were all forced to work at? probably? did it thoroughly fuck #up my holiday plans? 10000000%!!!!! I wanted to play sooo much bg3 and enjoy the family nye party!!! and yet #here I am) so I have spent most of my week sleeping it off and thoroughly fucked up my sleep schedule so that’s fun!! #more importantly humi and tamal were VERY sweet and would not leave my side while I was bedridden (exaggerated) but now that I’m better #they’re like ok whatever bye. except it’s cold! I miss the snuggles 😭 #anyway. #personal tag #I guess
