“I was having an emotion, and I hate that. I’d rather have nice safe emotions about shows on the entertainment media; having them about things real-life humans said and did just led to stupid decisions.” ― Martha Wells, Exit Strategy

Title sequence designs inspired by the real-life shows Martha Wells based Murderbot's favorite shows on.

setting : the coronation of jaehaerys targaryen, margaret finds herself upon the tournament grounds watching a gladiatorial match. she is perplexed. ;; starter for @natalyasunglass

king's landing was a complete maze for the lady of raventree hall. though there was a sort of beauty in seeing it come to life, moreso than she remembered it so many years ago when she visited for a tourney, it still paled in comparison to the riverlands. though in truth, she would always be biased to thing her home was the finest land in westeros. still, as was the nature of the lady, she tried to make the best of their visit here, and she found herself seated with some others, watch what she would come to realize was a gladiator match.

it was brutal, unsophisticated, savage. her face visibly cringed with every swing and cut of the blade. additionally, it reminded her of some things she would rather forget from a war that seemed a lifetime ago, now. being used to the sophistication of jousts, where there seemed to be rules and principles, this was quite the opposite. it was something she struggled to watch, but couldn't quite look away, either. maggie could certainly see why these things might have become more popular in these lands, now.

one last swing from one of the opponents, a blow the maiden knew was to be the last of this match given the dire circumstances, caused her to turned her face away completely. a cheer from the crowd seemed entirely out of place as the match concluded and the winner was presented. she wondered if she could leave, or if that would be noticed, and considered rude. the lady of raventree felt suddenly stuck to her seat.

turning to the lady beside her, she tried to find some distraction in chatter. "i did not know these sort of....events were so popular here." she commented. "are you familiar with the rules of these matches?"

were there any rules at all?

# INSONMIA, a nightmare lurking ─ lunatic 𝗍𝗋𝗂𝗉𝗉𝗂𝗇𝗀 to find a sane mind. ( oc crafted by 𝒍𝒊𝒍𝒚, +21, for the pjo verse. ) how do you 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 apart ? every 𝚍𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚎 starts with a 𝑙𝑢𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑦, my dearest.

  ...  𓄿 wanted. connections. ooc notes. oliver.              

bem-vindo de volta, semideus. há 20 ANOS, você veio ao acampamento pela primeira vez e se apresentou como DANIEL S. CHOI, foi reclamado por HIPNOS e hoje já tem 21 ANOS. nesse tempo em que ficou fora, desenvolveu melhor seu jeito SAGAZ, mas ainda persiste em ser APÁTICO em dias ruins. é ótimo te ver de volta, especialmente estando mais a cara de HWANG HYUNJIN do que antes.

NOME COMPLETO: DANIEL SEUNGJUN CHOI.

DATA DE ANIVERSÁRIO: 4 DE JANEIRO DE 2002.

ORIENTAÇÃO: PANSEXUAL.

PRONOMES: ELE/DELE.

GÊNERO: MASCULINO.

SIGNO: CAPRICÓRNIO.

ALIGNMENT: CHAOTIC NEUTRAL.

MALDIÇÃO: PARALISIA DO SONO.

uma dica para semideuses de humor questionável e aversão às divindades: não brinquem com o ego frágil dos deuses, especialmente se o deus em questão for seu meio-irmão. ameaçar contínuas vezes que vai colocar os outros para dormir eternamente nos braços de morfeu e insistir em usar seu nome em vão também tem suas consequências. 

daniel, por exemplo, nunca mais conseguiu descansar em um sono profundo sem vislumbrar a morte de pessoas próximas nas situações mais macabras possíveis e não poder se movimentar para impedir, tanto que desde os seus catorze anos sobrevive com cochilos esporádicos de somente uma hora quase todos os dias. o pior de tudo é, após acordar, assistir de camarote as cenas se construírem idênticas aos pesadelos. além de ser taxado como louco por se exasperar, as cenas nunca se concretizam como foram vistas. nunca iriam, na realidade, com ou sem sua intermissão. 

quem diria que até mesmo morfeu teria um humor tão ácido quanto o semideus? deve ser de família, afinal.

ARMA: ADAGA DE BRONZE CELESTIAL.

presente de hipnos. todo e qualquer corte pela adaga causará sonolência e, consequentemente, lentidão no alvo. caso acerte o inimigo diversas vezes, o mesmo entra em sono profundo e fica inapto para a batalha.

HABILIDADE: HIPNOSE.

induz o alvo em um estado profundo de relaxamento onde o torna suscetível em obedecer todos os comandos do semideus como vontade absoluta, igual uma marionete.

o transe pode ser quebrado caso o alvo se torne consciente de que está sendo hipnotizado, caso contrário, daniel pode continuar até se tornar fisicamente incapaz e se exaurir em manter a hipnose. dependendo do porte do alvo, do tempo consumido e da potência da habilidade, as consequências são desde ficar levemente tonto, até desmaiar por completo e entrar em sono profundo para repor as energias.

para ativar a habilidade, é necessário ter contato físico direto ou assoprar pó de sono no alvo até entrar em transe em questão de segundos. outros meios incluem: segurar sua atenção com objetos (relógios), imagens repetitivas, fala rítmica; os anteriores sendo por um minuto ininterrupto.

BIOGRAFIA.

uma criança que cresceu forte o suficiente para carregar sua armadura cedo demais e, subitamente, encaixou. é quase engraçado pensar que aquele pequenino com um ano de vida abandonado na entrada do acampamento, regado de delicadeza e conforto em seu sono profundo, cresceria para se tornar um semideus tão assertivo quanto alguém da prole de ares e talvez tão astuto e dissimulado quanto um descendente de hermes. 

famoso diga-me com quem andas e direi quem tu és, as influências construíram seu caráter desde cedo e apesar de ter sido reclamado por hipnos nos seus primeiros anos de vida, nada — além do seu sono impassível, claro — o impediu de ser reconhecido pelo acampamento como um rebelde sem causa; ou de causa tão similar quantos dos demais ali presentes, afinal, a ausência de figuras de autoridade tornou daniel mais propenso para ser chama de problemas ou ser o próprio problema.

hoje em dia, encontra-se bem mais pacífico do que quando adolescente, porém a pose apática de quem não dá nada para a vida e não espera nada em troca se mantém firme na sua aura. os seis anos longe do acampamento sobrevivendo às próprias custas o fez cair na realização de que nunca se adaptaria ao mundo mortal como gostaria — uma vez que lhe faltou a conexão materna para isso — e de que trabalhar em tempo integral é uma verdadeira merda (e nem faça ele recordar de quando precisou finalizar os estudos por ter sido obrigado a morar com uma família adotiva até seus dezoito anos).

bastou o primeiro comunicado para retornar que daniel largou tudo o que havia construído em questão de minutos e meteu o pé de volta para o acampamento.

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

setting: the kingdom of the westerlands, when the other kingdoms begin arriving, margaret runs into her cousin ; starter for @daceystvrk

steps that once felt so confident and airy felt entirely too weighty for the lady of raventree, who could not help but be hyper aware of her surroundings in the westerlands. she could not tell if it was this kingdom in particularly that unsettled her, or being, once again, in foreign lands after her sister’s passing. even now it felt too quiet without the younger blackwood chittering in her ear. she recalled praying for a more silent journey to her next destination, but now the silence haunted her.

the great hall was bustling with guests, she recognized some faces from the other kingdoms, but not the names. she catapulted back to their time in king’s landing, but she knew it were important to either impress, or go by unnoticed, for their own soon to be queen was a princess of these very lands.

margaret found some reprieve in one of the many corridors, intriguing artwork lining the walls, and she placed herself in front of one of the paintings in an attempt to look as if she were doing…*something*. hazel hues turned at the sound of footsteps, and she found relief in the sight of her cousin. “d-your grace.” she greeted the other, offering a bow of her head in respect of the woman. she would normally resort to more informal greetings, but maggie felt she could not be too careful, here. “i hope the journey was well, for you.”
