The way popular media went from “here’s two male characters who have an incredible amount of chemistry and fans ship them but it’s not canon and one or both of them are with women” to “here’s two male characters who have an incredible amount of chemistry and fans ship them and it’s canon but only in the way that one of them has an unrequited love for the other and either pines miserably forever or dies.” Progress right?

Real big fan of robots and monsters and aliens btw in case u couldn't tell.
And a trope I Hate is forced humanization, in general. If a non human character is supposed to become connected to humankind, then fine. It's not atrocious on it's own. I don't care.
What I do care about is when they're belittled for not being "human enough" in a "weird way". Like, yeah, maybe the alien that doesn't celebrate birthdays is strange to the protagonist. They don't have to call them out on it. The alien doesn't have to be seen at the end celebrating their birthday to solidify how human they've become.
If you want it to happen have it happen gradually. Have them become curious about it, and find out they actually like the customs they're not used to yet. Aliens finding pleasure in a playground, monsters enjoying food they'd never gotten to taste before, and robots discovering they genuinely like watching TV. Whatever!
Just work around their differences, make it be gradual, and not born from the main, human cast making fun of them or pointing out how weird they are for not liking X thing. And for the love of god, don't make "Becoming Human uwu" the center of their story. It's so... Heartbreaking. Bleak, even.

I’ve been thinking on and off about this post @boyrobott
I came to the conclusion that 1980 Astro could really have used a sling bag or fanny pack to carry spare cassettes
See, they’re even out of the way of his darn butt guns 😂 how many times could he have avoided trouble by having even *one* extra battery on his person? But then we wouldn’t have an episode…

id: a drawing of the scene from fugitive telemetry where ratthi and gurathin peak around murderbot to see the crime scene. Gurathin, drawn with light skin and buzzed blond hair, is standing on his tip-toes to be tall enough to see over murderbot’s shoulder. Ratthi, drawn with a medium skin tone and greying brown hair, looks past its side with a concerned look on his face. They each have a hand hovering near murderbot, not quite touching it. In front of them is a pool of blood but the rest of the crime scene off screen. There are drones scattered around the room. /end id
After over a month of reading fics, interacting with fandom, and 30k+ words written for this book series….. I finally started reading fugitive telemetry. Unfortunately, it’s my favorite.

AU scenario where AM and the survivors swap places and he expects to be put through the most horrific pain imaginable but instead they treat him with kindness and basically leave him alone by himself for the most part which is somehow worse.

I know Iterators being A Thing is technically a massive Rain World spoiler, but honestly that’s what got me to play the game in the first place. You’re telling me there’s massive supercomputers built so tall that they reach above the clouds? They’re so huge that their processes dramatically alter their surrounding environment? You can get inside them and run around and explore?? AND they have names and faces and personalities, and you can talk to them personally????????
