Man. Murderbot literally rebuilding its brain at the end of Exit Strategy using the power of its special interest in Media is such a deeply and powerfully autistic thing.

Its memories, emotions, self-concept- it's principally organized around its special interest to such a degree that it can use that not just to self-soothe, but as a point of resiliency in the wake of mental trauma. And for Murderbot, as for many autistic people, that's good and healthy for it. Its special interest is a strength.

“I’d fight for you.”

Tim’s eyes flew up to meet Bruce’s. Bruce’s blue gaze was steady and clear and... Soft. Almost sad, the way he looked sometimes when Dick would fall asleep in the living room after a long night of patrol. If he thought no one was looking, Bruce would stand at the end of the couch and gaze down at his eldest like he thought Dick would disappear at any moment. Or had disappeared, only to come back as someone new. Like he was proud and resigned all at the same time. But that made sense. That was Dick, a boy Bruce loved more than his own life, a boy he had watch grow up from a gap-toothed circus orphan to a full-grown man. Tim... wasn’t. He was just Tim. Why would Bruce look at him that way?

“If you wanted to stay, I’d fight for you, and I promise you that I’d win."

honestly you all are so annoying because motherhood IS interesting but fandom people are simultaneously obsessed with deciding that every woman has motherly qualities and completely disinterested in actually exploring motherhood as a role that informs a character. I do think exploring a character being a mother can be wildly interesting if they are canonically one, but because of misogyny, people just view motherhood as a totally unremarkable naturalized state that all women must inhabit!

Gurathin: Hey it calls itself Murderbot and I have some concerns.

MB: You do not trust Murderbot implicitly and without question? Murderbot, who would give its life for you? You betray Murderbot! Jail for client! Jail for client for one thousand years!
