#mb name meta

[mvshortcut]

The lack of meta awareness of all of the pun/symbolic names and places in MBS is so funny to me because the kids are marching up to a place called “The Pitfall Building” like “yes! we’re gonna get in and out in no time and no one will notice us! this is great!” Imagine if Sticky was the only one with a meta awareness of the symbolism of all the names, but since he’s always nervous about SOMETHING or other he writes it off as background anxiety and ignores it.

#which is so valid of him fr #he’s constantly anxious and he doesn’t know what he’s anxious about #sticky washington #the mysterious benedict society #tmbs

[unrestedjade]

Making this its own post because the last thing I wanna do is come off like I'm pissing on anyone's parade when they're making fun meta posts about the themes surrounding names in the books, but just in case anyone floating around out there is a fellow moral scrupulosity struggler:

You really, really don't need to stress over whether you "should" call Murderbot/SecUnit by one name or the other. Or anything else you might worry you "should" or "shouldn't" think or say about characters from a book.

It's not proof you're secretly a bad person, or that you don't care about real people's names or privacy or feelings, etc.

If it's something that causes you one iota of genuine worry or distress, please be kinder to yourself. Fictional characters don't prefer or need or want or hate anything. I know you know that, but sometimes emotions are sneaky and don't care about logic.

And if MB were real, it wouldn't want you to feel bad over media. It'd make little content notes on all your stuff reminding you to take breaks and take it easy, because it would care about your welfare, if it were real.

It's not, though. So it's all fine.

Okay? Just making sure you hear that from someone.

The Utena Dossier Animage June 1997 Cover to Cover Translation

(TUMBLR WHAT THE HELL WHY NO IMAGES???)

OKAY NEVERMIND THEN, IMAGINE AN IMAGE CRAMMED WITH OTHER IMAGES OF THE INCREDIBLE 36 PAGE COVER TO COVER TRANSLATION OF THE ANIMAGE JUNE '97 'THE UTENA DOSSIER', TRANSLATED BY NAGUMO, EDITED BY AYU OHSEKI, AND IMAGE EDITED BY VANNA. edit: ok it works now

WHY THO?  This supplemental dropped at the beginning of the Black Rose Saga, a point at which the show takes a steep turn to the darker end. The entire Be-Papas team is represented here, and they are less cautious about spoiling their intent than they were in the similarly translated article ‘Spring 97′s Revolutionary Announcement!’ published in Animage in May of 1997. The highlights?

- The Auspicious Joining of Manga and Anime, a 4-page spread featuring Chiho Saito and Shinya Hasegawa (A text-only version of this interview is also hosted on From the Mouths of Babes, our creator content site, for ease of reference!) - For Whom the Director Smiles, a 4-page spread featuring Kunihiko Ikuhara and fellow creator Hiroyuki Kitakubo. It is also hosted as a text-only for reference here! :) - Yoji Enokido’s episode notes for episodes 1-5. - Character and setting sheets with designs and explanations - Mini-interviews with Shingo Kaneko (Assistant Director), Hiroshi Nagahama (Conceptual Design), and Shichiro Kobayashi (Background Art Design) - The Utena Post-Recording Report, a 5-page text-dense manga tour through the recording studio with Toyoshima Yuusaku - Yeah actually even more than that!

A LOT of analytic gold is in this Dossier, including tidbits like Ikuhara referring to what he does as ‘creative masturbation.’ He also confirms a long-standing suspicion I’ve had, that Utena is aimed at the same age group/audience that had grown up on Sailor Moon. Makes me feel kinda like it’s time to watch it lmao.  In the manga, the voice actors all get asked if they’re been hit on by someone of the same sex. Anthy’s VA basically ‘fuck yeah’ed that, while Touga’s did some hilariously painful comphet performance shit that yep, it was 1997. Oh, wanna know the name of the mountain the school sits on? Yeah that’s here, too!!

So how do you consume this feast, you ask? The two long-form interviews are listed above as links into From the Mouths of Babes. The images are hosted and browsable on our...brand new SO YES IT’S NOT FINISHED WIP WIP WIP...gallery at EmptyMovement.com!! At this time, to download the full size 4k images you have to click the little download button. The ones that load in the website however will be readable for most folks. If you want to save it, download it, and read it more or less as god intended, the full-size images are worked into this handy 110 mb PDF!!! <-- This is probably the best/most thorough way to look around!!! 

As always, it’s our hope that presenting the content this way duplicates, a little, the ‘vibe’ of what Utena’s meta materials were like as the show rolled out. The fonts are matched as best we can, the papery-ness of the scans is preserved mostly. Absolutely give us feedback about how this works for you, and if it adds framing and at this point ~vintage vibe~ to the experience! I know it lacks the convenience of a web page or blog post, hence the two longer interviews also being in that format, but also, it’s way more fun for me to do and that’s how stuff gets done, friends. :D

omg thank you drive through, this was so much work i wanna crawl into a coma now thx

10, 13, 24. Give it to me ROUGH

Well, you asked for rough. Buckle up because you knew what you were doing feeding me these specific ones MB.

10. worst part of fanon

There are a lot of ways I could answer this one... I think I'm going to (take the meta route) say that my least favorite part of fanon is the tendency of shippers to bend characters out of their canonical forms in order to make them "better fit" the ship so, over time the fanon character simply becomes "the character" in the mind of the fan.

Everyone does this to some degree, it's inescapable. Especially because, at least in this fandom, many of the characters people are interested in are the ones who have not yet been main characters (Lucien, Mor, Elain, Eris, Azriel, Gwyn, etc.) Naturally, you have to read into them, flesh out their characters, and explore their potential in order to write about them. And, if you're writing a specific ship, of course you're going to draw parallels between the characters being shipped.

Where it becomes the "worst part" is when people get so stuck in their fanon interpretation of the character that it blatantly disregards the canon... but they don't seem to care that it does? This part always confuses me. Maybe it's because I'm relatively new to fandom spaces but, in my opinion, I feel like fanon characterizations can reach a point where I no longer recognize that "version" of the character. At that point, to me, they aren't the character anymore but someone's OC. I've spoken about this in regard to some of the fandom's heteronormativity when it comes to writing Eris as a part of the Azris ship (read more about this here.)

13. worst blorboficiation

I'll be honest, I had to look up the definition of this one and the internet seems conflicted on what it means. For the purpose of this question, I'm going to interpret "blorboficiation" as when a fandom takes a character and adores them to the point where they often overlook the character's potentially unsavory sides.

Clearly the answer is Azriel. I love him (I'm saying this as a very pro Azriel person) but canonically he is a mess, not even a hot mess, just a mess. He's done a lot of shitty things, he's emotionally immature, and has what I suspect to be a boatload of unhealthy coping mechanisms. That's just to name a few.

Azriel is allowed to be dark and messy. That's the part of his blorboficiation that bothers me. People often smooth over a lot of his faults (I'm not exempting myself, I've done it in the past but I try not to do it now) in order for him just to be the tall, dark and handsome alphahole. Like... if you're going to love Azriel then love all of him and do it honestly. There's nothing wrong with enjoying a morally gray, rather fucked up character. Just please don't try to pretend like he isn't.

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

Really anything that calls people out on their prejudices. I feel like that's where things tend to get super toxic. Folks need to learn that criticism isn't a personal attack and, if they do take it as an attack, then that's just confirming that they are prejudiced because they feel a need to defend themselves. It's not fun to admit when we're wrong, or when something we've done/said has caused harm. But listening to criticism, acknowledging the harm and apologizing for it, and working to dismantle that prejudice is a far better use of someone's time than getting into a fight on the internet that usually only ends up hurting more people in the process 🤷‍♀️

[rosewind2007]

There is another post out there which I actually really LIKE A LOT and this isn’t a criticism and kudos and re-blogs to it (the search function here defies my desires right now) which says that in Network Effect when Murderbot 2.0 says

I’m Murderbot 2.0

that this is news to ART-that ART didn’t know up until that point that MB calls itself Murderbot

And this is a great take and I am here for it…but I don’t agree and this is why:

Put simply:

In Artificial Condition MB and ART talk over the feed, shown by Martha Wells as italic

BUT it’s also clear ART is up inside Murderbot’s head

For example (and it’s a good example for reasons that are hopefully obvious:

“This was not a SecUnit.

I was looking at a sexbot.

That is not the official designation, ART said.

The official designation is ComfortUnit but everybody knows what that means.

Sexbots aren’t allowed to walk around in human areas without orders, any more than murderbots. Someone must have sent it here.

ART poked me hard enough to make me twitch. I snapped out of it and ran my recording back a little to catch up on what was happening.”

LOOK at what ART responds to, Murderbot thinks to itself “I was looking at a sexbot”, it doesn’t SAY this out loud or to ART over the feed (because things said over the feed are in italics, as ART’s response shows)

This section is also fun because it’s got the use of SecUnit (capitalized), sexbot (lower case, MB you need to pull yourself together here), ComfortUnit (capitalized) and lower cases “murdebots” (again, MB—buck up!)

With this intimacy in mind, I think ART already knew…

By the way, read my AO3 meta about all the uses of Murderbot as a name in the Murderbot Diaries, if you disagree (or agree!) leave comments!

Tech News Roundup: Goodbye Google One VPN, Hello Leica Phone, and More Pixel Leaks!

It's Friday again, which means that we're ending the week with a quick look at some of the biggest tech news over the past few days. The consumer electronics industry is never not busy, and as such there have been some rather interesting developments, both in terms of software and hardware products. With that said, let's take a look at some of the biggest news in tech this week. Bye-bye, Google One VPN One of the biggest advantages of subscribing to the Google One service is that you got access to VPN services, which does come in handy for users who want to access content and such that they wouldn't normally be able to due to geographic or licensing restrictions. With that said though, it's reported that Google has informed subscribers that it will be discontinuing the included VPN service with Google One as not many people were using it. However, Pixel 7 and 8 owners will still be able to use the built-in VPN on their handsets, which will supposedly last for five years. Meet the Leica Leitz 3 While Leica is more known for its line of consumer and pro-grade cameras, the manufacturer also makes a region-exclusive line of smartphones. In fact, it's on its third one now, aptly named the Leica Leitz 3. Exclusive for buyers in Japan, the phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, and includes other specs such as a single 47.2MP 1-inch CMOS camera, in addition to a 12.6MP selfie camera, a 5000 mAh battery, and Android 14 onboard. Magic Editor Arrives for more Phones Despite being described as an exclusive feature for Google's Pixel 8 and 8 Pro handsets, the company has announced that it will be bringing its Magic Editor AI tool to more users, and will be accessible via the Google Photos app. There's a catch though - the editor is free to use unlimitedly for Pixel device users, while other smartphone owners will only be limited to 10 edit saves per month, unless they pay for a Google One subscription. More Pixel 8a Leaks Emerge As has become the standard tradition for nearly all Google smartphones, the company's upcoming Pixel 8a handset has once again been leaked online, this time with a fresh coat of paint. Several product renders show the Pixel 8a in several different colour variants, which include Mint, Bay, Porcelain, and Obsidian. It's also rumoured that the 8a will feature a matte rear panel, somewhat similar to the Pixel 4a series from a few years back. You can view the full images here. Messenger now Supports HD Photos One of the biggest complaints about Facebook Messenger is that photo files sent via the app tend to look unflattering due to aggressive file compression, although this no longer seems to be the case thanks to a new update. Meta recently announced that users can now send HD photos via a simple toggle within the app; users will also be able to send files larger than 100 MB. Read the full article

Are you looking for an easy way to export a Virtual Machine running on Proxmox VE and running it on KVM hypervisor. Proxmox VE is an enterprise grade Virtualization solution that runs on Debian operating system. It gives SysAdmins a powerful dashboard from where most virtualization operations can be performed. In this article we’ll cover the process of migrating a Virtual Machine from Proxmox VE to KVM. I have a Proxmox VE 7 server with few Virtual Machines as listed using qm command line tool below: $ qm list VMID NAME STATUS MEM(MB) BOOTDISK(GB) PID 100 Ubuntu22 running 2048 20.00 1092 101 Controller running 2048 32.00 1138 102 FreeIPA-Server running 8192 50.00 1210 The Virtual Machine that I would be migrating from Proxmox VE to vanilla KVM is the one with id 102. We can check more information about the virtual machine using config qm command option. $ qm config 102 agent: 1 boot: order=scsi0;ide2;net0 cores: 4 cpu: host ide2: none,media=cdrom memory: 8192 meta: creation-qemu=6.2.0,ctime=1658942649 name: FreeIPA-Server net0: virtio=AE:39:5A:16:10:FB,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1 numa: 0 onboot: 1 ostype: l26 parent: FreeIPA_installed protection: 1 scsi0: local-lvm:vm-102-disk-0,size=50G scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci smbios1: uuid=a4075e7d-4278-478f-8d79-50f369c9b9c2 sockets: 1 vmgenid: b08b23e6-c545-41d8-9423-fca2855a759d Export Proxmox VE Virtual Machine as Qcow2 image The current default setup of Proxmox VE uses LVM.

Flinging My Opinions Out Into The Feed Vol. 4: Network Effect

this fuckin novel is 104K (ish) words long. I read it in like 3 days.

i haven’t ripped through a book like that since grade school. holy fuck. murderbot has awakened the hungry book-eating autistic dragon within me from its long slumber. hopefully I can sate it with some of my class readings. also I always listen to the audiobook after reading the book book which is easier bc as a college student I walk everywhere and have lots of listening time.

anyway. I have so so so so many thoughts. this one long so thoughts under the cut (mega spoilers for NE obviously)

I’m splitting this up into a few sections bc this was a longass book and i have a lot of thoughts to organize

General Shit

for whatever fucking reason, I’ve always read ART as having Aziraphale Goodomens’ voice in my head, and I figured that would probably change with time as I got to know it, but it hasn’t! the more of an asshole it is the more it sounds like Aziraphale’s Bastard™ Voice! the more caring it is the more Soft™ it sounds! Why does this happen to me?!

I’ll probably attempt an actual analysis of this after I’m done with the whole series (only one book away what tf???), since the only thing I like more than writing mb meta is writing good omens meta

related: I imagine Kevin R Free reading AC like ‘aw sick we got a real HAL9000 here w art I’m gonna go full robot monotone’ then hitting network effect and realizing he now has to make this beepboop motherfucker sound sensitive and sad and scared and parental and going FUCK!

He really crushed it though big props for that

so many new children to adopt!!!! my family has grown so big!!!

I don’t mean 2.0 bc a. it’s specifically described as not a baby and b. like it’s just mb and while mb is still my child, by now it’s like a few years out of college - a little directionless but self-sufficient with a support network.

However, I have adopted the following:

Amena

you now have one more parent, bringing the count up to 5! (mensah, fari, tano, mb)

collect them all and you get a decoder ring!

Three

holy shit they kinda glossed over you at the end there but you are STYLIN’

not to be like called it but i knew mb was going to eventually just free some guy(s) and then not know what to do with them

i will protect it, i want to see it grow up big and strong

maybe my favorite end-of-the-book mb bot interaction thus far!

I have synesthesia (letters/numbers/words have color, texture, personality, etc.) and the number 3 is like, red/magenta/fuschia and kind of round and shiny and has strong “femme fatale in a film noir” energy so the name is really, really fucking me up bc obviously that’s not AT ALL how I think of Three (the SecUnit) as a character!

I already had a picture of it in my head from our first meeting with it and then it got named “Three” and my brain had to do a bunch of mental gymnastics to make it fit

it just throws the name “murderbot” around bc it doesn’t know any better and i can’t WAIT to see that fallout

Iris

“prove you’re Peri’s SecUnit - show me your face” *shoots a gigantic fucking robot to save her dad* ICONIC we LOVE her

+me gives her 4 parents (martyn, seth, ART) so she doesn’t get the decoder ring but she’s in the running!

This was easily the most suspenseful book yet, and the closest the mb series has come to straight-up horror.

I’m an anxious, jumpy person by nature - close a door too loud and I’ll jump 3 feet in the air. So the whole scene with the crystalized body I was just constantly tense, waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it took me a While to get exactly what was going on, and props to Martha Wells for the mystery bc it was beautifully crafted, so tbh I figured everything out just when it fuckin moved.

I’m sure if I was holding a physical book, I would’ve yeeted it right across the room. I’m just glad my laptop wasn’t on my lap!

It’s also the closest Wells’ writing has come to actually losing my understanding with technobabble. Usually the way it’s written, things just sort of...make sense, without you having to stop and work through it.

I feel like maybe it’s not talked about as much bc it’s so subtly done, but this series is constantly introducing new technology, new ways mb can hack and interact with the feed and new AIs that exist and their levels of sentience and how x aspect of life works with this advanced tech and it has always just slid into place for me. It’s one of Wells’ real assets as a writer - she can introduce a bajillion new technological things and the way she writes it through mb’s eyes just makes it intuitively understandable

it’s at least partially due to consistent worldbuilding and naming conventions. mb just calls things what they are, and makes it obvious when designating a title to something. there’s not multiple words for the same thing - wells successfully eradicates any “the blond man” or “the taller of the two” shit like you see in bad fanfiction.

it also helps that mb thinks of ai as people, kind of. It cuts down on thinking about the specific operations mb is performing with all these dang hacks bc it reads as a social interaction (though I’m sure the idea would be abhorrent to it lol).

instead of just “I did X” you get “I hacked XSys and asked it to do X", so if you don’t know what X is, you get clues from how mb interacts with it, and now you know who/what XSys is, so any reference to it and its function and any time it does something in the future, you get more context on it and it kind of reads as character development

where I started to get confused was figuring out a. exactly what 2.0 was doing and how it operated, and b. how the pre-CR Central system operated and how it infected the colonists.

a is mostly bc of the jarring shift into 2.0′s POV (which is a WILD sort of plot twist hell yeah) and bc 2.0 talks like mb 1.0 but is able to do very different things and that it exists as killware. it makes sense though and while it took me a bit, I was able to put it together.

and whole e shit wells thats an existential crisis i wasnt expecting to have.

b. is probably bc I’ve had 4 books to get used to exactly how CR (post-CR? during CR?) tech works and it took me a sec to shift my way of thinking

but when I got there? holy shit, that’s TERRIFYING, and so clever!!!!! relistening to the audiobook holy shit wells really stayed up too late watching The Thing and got scared and went hmmm I can use this fear and she was RIGHT

i cannot stress the SUSPENSE enough. the fucked up timeline. the POV switches. the helpme files. the mystery of the alien remnants. FUCK.

speaking of. 2.0

in a previous post i said something about how weird it was in exit strategy that mb kept talking about what counts as “winning”?

its death. it convinces 1.0 by saying “this is how I win”

fuck

and also some real tangible ptsd consequences: mb 1.0 hesitated bc of the flashback to miki. fuck.

I really appreciated how in ES we honed in on one sub-group of the PresAux gang (Pin-Lee, Gurathin, Ratthi), and in this one we switched it up a bit (Arada, Overse, Ratthi again bc he’s a likeable guy) and added in some of Mensah’s family, including...

ooooh Thiago. bow howdy do I have complex feelings on this motherfucker.

On the one hand I get it. this company-made robot person just drops into your family and has your sister in-law’s complete trust for some reason. I get being a lil hesitant. and he does really follow up on it and try to make it work. on the other hand he did mega piss me off for like the 1st half of the book, mostly for how he treated Mensah.

deadass? I fuckin WISH I had a SecUnit friend to come get me out of social situations I don’t want to be in. good call Mensah. but she shouldn’t’ve had to do it in the first place, man, give her space

the weird lil interrogation he does w mb onboard art is really what pissed me off. he’s so clearly in the wrong not just bc his information is inaccurate (about the assassination attempts n shit) but bc he doesn’t LISTEN TO MENSAH and take her needs and agency seriously.

sidenote: art intervening in this conversation was actually amazing. it was really like ‘mb stop spilling mensah’s beans thiago shut the fuck up and go to sleep im disappointed in both of you’

he does go to apologize to her at the end though and isn’t an idiot, so he gets those points.

he is kind of shit at both security and more importantly listening to and trusting mb’s expertise but we can forgive

the differentiation mb makes in its thought processes at the beginning b/w ‘another innocent brand new naive secunit who needs help adjusting to human society’ and ‘me’

mb keeps going ‘mensah’s family would have liked me if I was ____ but I was me’

completely disregarding that mensah’s family does like it by and large

theres some interesting ethical implications there too - mb thinks mensah’s family wants a blank slate of a person to project a personality onto, and that the issue is that mb is very much already a personality, its just a grumpy weird lil guy

also mad foreshadowing for three

the way SecUnit and Amena really meet for the first time basically? priceless.

amena pov: you’re on your way home drunk with a guy you hope to sleep with, and he turns on the lights at his place and there’s your second mom’s weird new friend(?) just standing in the middle of the room, resting bitch face, wearing all black, who scares the guy out of his fuckin mind simply by existing (mb doesn’t even say anything in this scene!!! it just stands there and waits for amena to turn and leave, then follows her!). on the way home it lists all the reasons that guy was almost certainly a rapist. you don’t want to seem stupid so you put up a bit of a fight but you feel its cut-the-bullshit eyes on you and it sucks. also, it’s basically a living security camera and you know it’s going to snitch on you, no matter what it says.

mb pov: nah nah sister you’re not takin her to a secondary location

jokes aside I really like how deadpan mb is about the whole thing. maybe that’s the wrong word but like. it’s not made a big deal of? like, there’s no sort of pearl-clutching, there’s no asking for it or victim-blaming shit, there’s no difference from any other kind of potential harm. it just goes “this is a threat. I am going to eliminate that threat.” like it would for anything else. mb analyzes the guy the same way it would any potential hostile. it doesn’t treat sexual assault as a rare occurrence or something special and weird, just goes “don’t trust this fucker, will stop him from harming my client(’s daughter)”

“If there’s one thing I understand it’s the difference bw proprietary and non-proprietary data” So, mb pretends to not know privacy boundaries sometimes but knows this one. Huh.

“Teammate”

damn for anyone else that’d be an understatement but like. mb explaining that mensah was the first person it’d been on equal footing with? that it’d been on a team with? it makes sense. ow. 

this is the book that really hammered it home for me that most futuristic/sci fi books are either utopia or dystopia but Wells did both. and even better are the interactions!!! You have horrific dystopian Corporation Rim, and beautiful utopian Preservation, and the interplay between the two and the privileges and disadvantages both sides have and the grey space in between...it’s amazing.

Even better, she made a dystopia with limits - gender, sexuality, race are just never an issue. i feel like with so many people when they have anachronistic worldbuilding in their stories, they feel like they have to make up new versions of racism and sexism and homophobia but Wells just went no, my dystopia is bad bc of capitalism, and I wanna focus on that. the world is open and accepting for real-world identities, regardless of whether you’re talking about fucking contract slavery or music festivals.

in the end.....mb finally knows what it wants. fuck. i’m gonna start crying. that’s a whole series dilemma right there, an essential part of its development and arc, something we revisit at the end of every book.  when it said ‘i know what i want’ i almost burst into tears

The Intricate Rituals (aka murderbot and art’s “relationship”)

this book was so so choice for examining what they mean to each other boy howdy

i wanna be clear - don’t clown around on my post w romantic interpretations and slash w these two weirdos. mb v clearly is not down for that kind of shit. relationships don’t have to be romantic or sexual to be meaningful and complex.

goddamn the ARC they went through??? from grief to anger and betrayal to working together and rebuilding trust to a genuinely beautiful friendship to creating 2.0 to the fucking threat of bombing a colony to some of the best comfort in a hurt/comfort setup i’ve ever seen to art inviting mb to stay???? fuck me.

highlights

during mb and art’s fight, Arada and Ratthi are both trying to be like John mulaneys bit about Andy Cohen at those goddamn reunions okokokokokokokok

mb really knows how to pull a ‘no talk to me im angy’ and honestly the mental picture of the rest of the crew not seeing the almost imperceptible ways art is communicating w mb and then seeing mb blow up in return is hilarious.

“mutual administrative assistance” fuck me running thats good

mb knowing art well enough that when it needs to get its full unbridled compliance it pulls “you’re upsetting amena” like daaamn

mb reassuring art about its crew….. can we call “the first thing I checked for when i got onboard your empty corpse was if your crews dead bodies could be anywhere” a love language?

art having no qualms about blurting shit out to amena since Teacher Mode Activated and mb hating it? hilarious dynamic. i also love mb and art both being good with kids but in completely different ways.

Ratthi, mr. extrovert relationship specialist, trying desperately to parse mb and art and all THEIR drama is hilarious!!!! like, they communicate so quickly and complexly that whenever someone else tries to figure out what the fuck is going on it just doesn’t work

art trying to get mb to go to the meeting w leonide as an augmented human not a secunit because “you don’t like it” ahhhh im soft

Maybe it’s just me but mb loving the clothes art made it is adorable. It has all the stuff mb likes. It’s such a subtle thing you might not even notice it but across the series whenever mb describes clothes it has to wear it’s very specific about what it looks for, and art ticked all the boxes (lots of sealable pockets, strong/deflection fabric, sturdy ass boots, comfortable and easy to move in) 

and THEN, when mb 1.0 curls up to die under the agri bot and notices the clothes art made it protecting it in its last moments of consciousness? Poetic cinema

Art’s bedside manner is like. Surprisingly thoughtful and loving. at the end it fucking. made a lil quarantine box and ‘separated part of its consciousness’ to it and played tv so mb wouldn’t be alone and idk im weak for this kind of thing but art caring for mb the way it deserves to be cared for is just. mmmm

Ik it’s been said a million times but art going “oh god my bff’s Important Person is coming aboard I gotta clean I gotta clean” when mensah shows up is priceless

one of many all time fav quotes: “Art did know everything. It was so annoying”

Big Neurodivergent Vibes

i’m sure someone’s said it before but art and mb watching media together? parallel play, aka doing the same/similar activities in the same area/feedspace without talking or interacting too often. like cats.

mb helping art work through its memory shit after actively antagonizing it is heartwarming - especially after they find out its personal memory was altered and art is just. Silent? in the group chat for a while and mb speaks for it? Art’s not here rn can I take a message? Beautiful. Big neurodivergent mood. talking for ur friend who can’t talk rn is nd to nd communication.

also, i don’t know how i missed it before but the clear division of subjective and objective time, and getting fucked up by it sometimes? in previous books it’s just been for emphasis, but in NE it actually affects things.

*mb facing the wall in order to talk to three* SecUnit to SecUnit conversation

ADHD solidarity - playing worldhoppers in the background to take up processing space while you work on important shit

i can’t believe i didn’t put this together sooner - special interest: soap operas media, sanctuary moon in particular

controversial opinion? mb is really empathetic. ppl have probably made the case for mb having a sort of low empathy situation going on but like if you look at its actions it feels other’s feelings and cares so so much. like, looking at how it responds when art’s dead, when it’s trying to help the contract laborers, when it’s trying to help its crew, when it’s trying to help art’s crew? it has had to deaden itself out of necessity but the emotions are still very much there. tbh this might be me projecting my sympathy for having sudden, intense, hard-to-identify emotions and being more “sensitive” to loved ones getting hurt than anticipated, but also like. think of all the times it’s like “fuck, im having an emotional reaction to this. I wasn’t expecting that.” idk if we can call that hyperempathy but like. it’s sure something.

alexithymia is a thing where its hard for you to identify your emotions. its really common in nd people. need i say more? mb never knows what the fuck its feeling

Beautiful Representation (mostly queer)

CASUAL THEY/THEM REP YESSSSSSSS and not just like one either!!!! Mihail, Matteo, Turi, a whole bunch of em!!! ahhhhhhh

Lesbian love is stored in the “babe” - legit 90% of overse and arada’s dialogue is just “hey babe” “babe” and you know what? that’s valid. i love it and i love them. 

ik you could say The Feed is kind of a catchall deus ex machina for some things but i do not care! especially when it comes to just storing your gender info somewhere everyone can see and acknowledge and you don’t have to do shit about it!

some fun feed designations I noticed

Arada is “female/femme”

Leonide is “female/femme-neutral”

none of the feed designations include pronouns, but mb just knows them and uses them intuitively anyway. maybe it’s stored in a different part of the feed? like translation/language module? idk but im happy

mb noted at one point that “most” humans have “medium brown” skin tones - transcendent, one of my favorite things about this series is that skin tone is mentioned in the initial description of almost everyone mb meets, and its almost never just “white” - plus, its never given like. more attention than its due, or weird food comparisons.

it also briefly mentions Preservation having accommodations for mobility aids at the big festival/concert, and having a designated quiet area. i just. it’s so good.

The Fainting Couch

Explanation

bc mb is so emotionally constipated, any time that any emotion is expressed it takes me the tf out and I feel like a lady in a victorian novel retiring to my fainting couch to die from breathing too hard.

it’s like that moment in Pride and Prejudice (2005) where mr darcy helps lizzie get into the carriage and for a brief moment their hands touch and they spend a whole camera shot on it and its A BIG DEAL even though its not a ‘big deal’

there was definitely a post that made me connect these two things but i do not remember exactly when i saw it.

so this is a list of times where i was taken the fuck out by the EMOTION of it all!

it’s my friend. it helped me because it wanted to, because it could

fuck, the entire section of time b/w mb getting aboard art and art coming back is excruciating, it’s littered with all sorts of grieving inner dialogue, culminating in...

“my friend is dead!”

owwwwww the grief hurts and even more so, the later 180° from grief to betrayal hurts

mb repeatedly referring to the PresAux gang as “my humans” 😩

The Entire “ART meets PresAux after re-establishing control of the ship” scene

like mb is in such a vulnerable position in so many ways that it wants to reassert control however it can and also it’s right, and these two parts of its world are colliding and the PresAux gang have private information about it that ART doesn’t have and vice versa and it’s so desperate to keep them from sharing it but it doesn’t have a choice

The fucking convo bw mb on the med platform and art and the crew all getting to know each other and the anger and betrayal and comfort and EMOTION!!!!! Fuck me!!!!

also ngl i was also p mad when I realized art did in fact cause some problems on purpose

highlighted quotes:

trusted friend

ow my fucking heart

I did what I had to do, you should understand that

“I’m not talking to you on the feed! You’re not my client and you’re not my-“

OW BITCH OW CALL 911 IM ON THE FLOOR

“Art? You’re scaring Amena. You’re scaring me.”

My heart…… and the realization that art hadn’t been plotting and planning but was just scared and wanted a Trusted Friend?

“And it hit me then that ART had been desperate and terrified since the moment the Barrish-Estranza ship had sidled up and done whatever it had done. It had tricked its captors into taking it to me not because it had some kind of grand strategy but because it needed me” OWWW

The apologies? The LOVE???? Bitch I’m crying.

“I’ve lost my crew. I won’t lose you”

i spent a solid 24 hrs thinking about this quote before picking up the book again

“I just really like you. Not in a weird way.”

aahhhhhhhhh

i didn’t know there was a WHOLE ASS OTHER PERSON there for this though!!!

Senior Indah Saw Things that day, goddamn.

also I love that after saying “I like you too” the first thing Mensah does is say “get this secunit to medical immediately” bc like the implication of “if its saying this kind of shit its gotta be really injured” like it’s continuing the conversation from before but like its still funny

like this was in response to mensah saying ‘go to medical’ basically and i feel like it’s bc someone else cares about its wellbeing for its own sake, not just for its capabilities, and it’s just. so many.

“They’re sleeping, I told myself. 2.0 and Central wouldn’t feel a thing”

FUCK

in case you don’t recognize this. its from. when 2.0 and central and targetControlSystem all get stuck in the star thing and mb 1.0 has to destroy it and kill them and it tells itself it won’t hurt them, it’ll be like they’re sleeping, and i fucking SOBBED

like 2.0 we barely knew ye but also wells you HAD to spend the past chapter or so having 2.0 endearingly bouncing around 1.0′s mind just so we don’t forget its a person fuck fuck fuck

the whole final chunk of conversations is just one hit quote after another

“You made me sound….safe”

and then art understanding and addressing the concern and art knowing and accepting what murderbot is, in its entirety, because its never not known.

“No one had ever rescued me before”

“I don’t want to not see you again”

“But I like being with ART. I want to keep being with it” FUCK IM ALREADY ON MY FAINTING COUCH DUDE GET THE DEFIBRILLATOR

Little Things

Mb uses the same words for everyone regardless of gender. “Marital partner” “offspring” “child”

we only spent a few minutes with her but I love Farai. she just casually goes “hey uh mb what’s your relationship situation with my wife” and mb goes NO and she’s like understandable have a nice day

I understand now that post about how some people just sort of get Assigned British Accent At Audiobook and I was very surprised that it was just Amena and not Thiago. also, idk why, but whenever I imagine Amena she looks like Shuri from black panther

Ratthi going from “I’ll apologize to it” (ASR)  to “secunit is a very private person. It doesn’t like to talk about its feelings” and “I could hear Ratthi telling them to drop the subject” u know what that is? Growth!

Thiago being worried about secunit giving amena Designated Drone Babysitters and ratthi being like no lol that’s how it shows affection

the gang finding the secunit killed by its governor module and just talking about how terrible that is right in front of mb recovering from the trauma of having one???? like come on guys thiago has an excuse he’s a bit of a dick but stop looking at this corpse that could’ve easily been mb’s if it didn’t hack itself and talking about how horrifying it is to you, it fucking knows!!!! like how fucking insensitive can you be??

but also i do appreciate that presaux still fucks up and doesn’t get everything right all the time it’s realistic

at some point in the middle when basically everyone is on art and having like a video conference about their plans, amena is with mb and has marked herself as “private” or something so she doesnt have to participate and is eating “imitative vegetable fragments” or something and basically i realized

she’s watching the drama goin on in the zoom meet w/ camera and mic off eating popcorn.

icon

Mb: wow humans sure are stupid im glad I’m good at threat assessment Also mb: *does all the wrong things in a horror movie when it finds The Control Room, giving me 7 discrete heart attacks*

I love my new child three, but i’d like it a lot more if wells didn’t keep switching POVs to it right when climactic things happen to mb 1.0

Mb detaching it’s own fucking hand to get out of restraints? Iconic

The Gang: art are u sure you can convincingly pretend to be evil? Art: oh don’t worry about it ;) 😘🤫

sidenote: Art is the biggest drama queen in the galaxy. all that media gave it so many theater-kid tendencies. including the homicidal ones. holy shit.

“There’s a lot about this that I don’t understand but I am participating anyway” #relatable i love three so much

mb realizing it’s kind of a damsel being rescued by three during the escape and being vaguely annoyed but also completely fine with it is the kind of energy I need in my life 

Thiago keeps calling Amena “my daughter” but she repeatedly calls him “uncle” and i don’t know if its just language difference or what but like e.g.

“My daughter, are you sure you’ll be alright with a corporate-” “I’LL BE FINE UNCLE”

ohhh he got UNCLE-ZONED

speaking of, “Ok third mom” AAAHHHHH

“I am here against my will and you are going to regret that” new catchphrase dropped

i was right! there was a “wait a second secunit is shorter now??” bit!!! rip arada who was like yeah ur hairs a little different and mb replies with “I also got shorter”

Ik it’s a really serious situation n shit but imagining mb 1.0 staggering around a giant warehouse fighting with the knock-off copy of itself it made in its head is fucking HILARIOUS

(at the end of the book)

ART - oh ya I definitely already sent a distress signal through the wormhole like a month ago

Everyone: FUCK YOU 

Kevin R Free Callouts

this guy does an amazing job with this book. ive said it before ill say it again - the man’s an artist.

he does pronounce things weird sometimes though. this is a comprehensive list of pronunciation crimes thus far.

Buoy

KRF: BOY

me: BOO-ee

Capsule

KRF: CAP-syew-wool

me: CAP-sull

Thiago

KRF: tee-AH-go

me: thee-AH-go

(i also do this with thalia though and some people pronounce ‘thalia’ ‘taw-lee-ah’ not ‘tha-lee-ah’ so maybe its me?)

Overse

KRF: OH-ver-say

me: OH-verse

(same disclaimer as above - i’ve never met anyone with this name and maybe krf has)

and by far, the most grievous

Holo

KRF: HOE-low (long o, like “odor” or “most”)

me: HAW-low (short o, o like “coffee” or “job” or “hologram”)

now i am going call out some compliments bc he is a great voice actor

I loved his take on the Targets’ voices, it was so creepy and reminded me of Night Vale Kevin

the difference in mb’s and three’s narration was distinct and consistent and easy to tell apart - I like three’s lil bird voice!

there were a lot of fucking voices to do this time around and i’m frankly amazed he kept em all straight, big props.

there were a lot of emotionally charged moments for mb here and he fuckin nailed them. i was in public while listening to some of the ending shit and I wish I had a fuckin opaque faceplate to keep my expression under control!

sorry this was so ludicrously long, but its a ludicrously long book. like, the ASR audiobook is about 3 hours, NE is 13 hours

fuck i cant wait to finish the series i’ll miss reading new ones but i will sink into the pool of fan content like a hot tub

#murderbot #long post #spoilers #my Opinions #original post

[captain-lonagan]

literally nobody here follows me for the mysterious benedict society but the thing that bothers me most about the disney plus version is that they changed who the bad guys are in a meta way. like yes it’s all the same names (plus an evil scientist?) and locations but like. the bad guy here has changed.

like, let’s take a look at the first mbs book:

for context please remember it came out in 2007. it’s a Bush presidency publication and was written during the Bush presidency. all the adult characters are being freaked out by The Emergency and demanding a leader that takes action. The Emergency is a fake crisis being broadcasted directly into people’s brains by an angry old man that wants control over everything. jackson and jillson are tall and athletic and prone to violence (to this day i don’t think any book character has inspired the amount of raw fear those two inspired in me). mr benedict is calm and collected, when he gets his hands on the brain sweeper he puts it in a room full of abstract, soft colored walls and basically makes it a therapy machine to heal me curtain’s brain sweeper victims. number two, rhonda, and benedict are all odd but nonetheless very capable adults. mr curtain is loud and does not give a flying fuck about his students outside of their use in the brain sweeper. classes at the institute are all repetition of phrases and fake facts. when kate and constance are falling behind in classes because they’re not great at memorizing random bullshit, Reynie is the one that decides they should cheat and this is framed as a good idea by the narrative.

meanwhile in the disney show:

The Emergency is pretty much the same but mr curtain is a calm, collected man in a neat suit. he’s a very PC businessman and plays nice with his workers 90% of the time. he loves his son (SQ is in the books but he is Not mr curtain’s son and whether or not mr curtain cares about him at all is eeeeeh). mr benedict, number two, and rhonda all bicker constantly. mr benedict proposes cheating and this is framed as a great moral failing. jackson and jillson are stuck up preps that will rat on you, but theres no moment in the show where you fear for the kids lives when jackson and jillson are alone with them. the institute is full of colors and minimalist abstract designs. it looks like the college my grandpa told me not to go to because he said it would make me communist. mr curtain checks on his classes and some of the classes are all fun brain games meant to encourage creative, out of the box thinking.

i understand having the change things when doing book-to-screen adaptations. some things that work to deliver a message/story on paper don’t work on camera, it’s fine that those things are adjusted so that the story and Vibes can get through. the problem i have with the mbts changes is that they don’t change the story to fit the screen, they change the story to fit disney. they change who the bad guy is.

#negative #critical #mysterious benedict society #sidenote that milligan was my fuckin rock during the books #jackson and jillson were fucking violent threats and milligan genuinely felt like the only person who could protect the kids from them #of all the characters i think they did milligan the least dirty in the show #but they still did him kinda dirty #long post
