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

There will be more Quincey Time Travel AU comic coming soon but I read a few too many angsty fics and was seized by an cruel muse, so I apologize for these doodles before hand 😅😞

I dont really have a story behind this atm, just vibes of Baby Vampire Quincey being the one little ray of sunshine in a Bad Ending :s No idea how there’s even Baby Vampire Quincey in the first place 😅

Edit

Ok @animate-mush wrote an amazing little backstory for this now, go check in the notes 👌👌👌

shows like nbc hannibal and true detective (season one at least) are not cop propaganda at their core. criminal minds and b99 are. hope this helps

#🦌 #dexter counts too. probably twin peaks too but i haven't finished that (as not cop prop) #you can talk about how the crime procedural as a genre may always lean cop prop but if you #walk away from the show thinking 'wow they're so good at catching bad guys and saving the day' its cop prop #and you DO NOT think that leaving either shows #like yeah will and rust (and marty) are good investigators but they are shown going clearly out of their power and abusing it in some cases

mechtober day 8/9: idw g1 rodimus and ultra magnus!

i feel like rodimus is the kind of coworker you love to run into on your way to the coffee machine, unless you have a deadline, in which case you've gotta pretend not to see him so you can actually get back to your office in five minutes

#transformers #mtmte #rodimus #ultra magnus #maccadams #cephalopadre art tag #i am counting this as two days bc its a mostly finished thing #how long could the lines take... naive question from a certified dumbass #oh yeah this was entirely borne out of that one panel from dark cybertron #where theyre meeting with optimus and rodimus knows how mags likes his energon #bc hes been making an effort to be more responsible and theyve probably been working together more #ghhhhhhh

I think we should just bring back Wungo Wednesday and start a fandom collective anime rewatch

#Because otherwise I can feel I won't last much longer #Because like. The last two hyperfixations of mine ended the moment I started feeling like there wasn't any new content #And two days ago in one day I started a new manga a new book and rewatching a favourite show #Whereas I hadn't started anything new in the two years ever since I got into bsd. Which makes it NOT a good sign #But the bsd anime has now ended for one month and 25 days and that's the last time the plot actually moved forward. #And if I counted right. The manga took 4 chapters (that is chapters 110-111) to adapt 6 minutes #That means it's going to take another 12 months (18 minutes left to adapt. that's 12 more chapters) to catch up with the anime #Yeah I'm not. sticking around this long with nothing new to see I'm sorry #Best case scenario I take a one year hiatus but that doesn't make it sound likely that I'll be back #And I know it's fresh news as early as this morning that author said they were introducing a new character but like. #They also said they finished writing this arc like. One year and half ago if I remember correctly? #And we still have yet to see the end of i t so... #That is to say. I'll probably be starting an anime rewatch starting next Wednesday. I've been meaning to do it for a while anyway #I don't want to leave the fandom I like the one chapter a month format #On the positive news I still have a queue of original posts that spans over ten months #And I was meaning to start the reblogs queue too in these days. So there's that #random rambles

it’s the way they cropped quinn out for me

#devils social media is so unserious can always count on a little chuckle #as one of the Instagram comments said ‘quinn’s villain era catalyst’ #jack hughes #luke hughes #quinn hughes #nj devils #was there probably a better way to post this than a screenshot? yeah but I’m not smart enough for that

Okay, so I'm planning to write a short ish fanfic with TCF. I need more writing practice for a rather big personal project I have.

So, tons of the characters in TCF should have nightmares. For Choi Han, it's Harris Village and the forest of Darkness. Lock has nightmares of his family. Onh and Hong, get nightmares of being abandoned again and so much more.

And for this fic, I'm planning for, after each of them get their nightmare, they seek out Cale for comfort. A comfort which Cale will give them because they are his people.

And then, throughout the fic, I'm going to make Cale ignore his own nightmares! He's going to ignore them again and again because he doesn't believe they are bad enough for him to bother another person.

Now Cale has many options of support even if he doesn't see them. Who will he go to? If he even decides to go to one at all.

But yeah! That's it, imma start writing now let's hope this doesn't take too long :D

#cale henituse #tcf cale #trash of the count's family #lout of the count’s family #totcf #lcf #lotcf #angst #it's light angst i think #i don't know if I'm being stupid but i think i can get this done in like a week or two #yeah that's probably being stupid

[2hoothoots]

It sounds like the Raz in your Villains AU would be more emotionally stunted than the proper FSAU Raz. I can imagine the Performer and Lover archetypes either didn't form to balance out the Agent archetype, or we have a Cassie situation. Maybe the Agent archetype usurped them and Raz ate his feelings.

It's not that I can't. I just find it more prudent to focus my energy elsewhere.

v!au Raz doesn't have any archetypes. he never really saw the need to develop any. what's a guy like him need a little doodle friend for? he's already a walking one-dimensional paper cutout

#future superstar agents au #villains au #also! look! first appearance of proto-agent and proto-performer #look at them they're so cute #they don't even exist in this timeline but aren't they sweet #but yeah. vau doesn't meet cassie and learn archetype projection #he probably gets taught it in the intern program a few years later #but never really clicks with the power #what do you need a tool for self-actualization for if you already know exactly who you want to be? #(he's got a few issues) #(ALSO tysm for all the other asks about this au. gonna try and get a few more responses done over the weekend) #fsau archetypes #BARELY but it counts and i want to be able to find this again
