MURDERBOT TV SHOW POLL

Just curious about how everyone else feels…

Obviously the Murderbot TV show was a thing* and people had views BUT this is specifically about how the show presented/portrayed/depicted a particular relationship

[anyone who knows me will have guess where this js going]

Checking the fanfic of the TV show on AO3 the top five relationship tags look like this:

Question for YOU:

Do YOU think the TV show actively encouraged shipping Dr Gurathin and Murderbot

🖤🖤Please reblog for greater numbers of responses🖤🖤

*to me: a beautiful, unexpected and wonderful thing (your mileage may vary and that’s fine)

I want rich stories with asexual characters.

Asexuals who are sex repulsed, whose asexuality doesn't get 'cured' when a hot romantic partner walks in. Asexuals who think they are sex favorable realizing that they were only so in theory and are sex aversed in life. Sex indifferent asexuals just chilling in the middle. Asexuals with high libidos. Asexuals who masturbate. Asexuals who've never felt sexual arousal. Asexuals who want to have children. Asexuals who're asexuals due to sexual trauma.

Demisexuals and their partners discovering boundaries and communicating about what's okay and what's not. (Because even if asexuals are having sex, the relationship will be nothing compared to what amatonormativity wants you to believe) Conversations about sex.

Asexuals having allosexual partners (whom they aren't having sex with). Asexuals only preferring to date other asexuals. Straight asexuals, asexuals of every romantic identities, asexuals who fall in love, asexuals who get their heart broken because their partner can't have a relationship without sex :(, polyamorous asexuals, aromantic asexuals watching all the chaos.

I want real people, poc asexuals. Asexuals who love joking about sex, asexuals saying the lord's prayer everytime someone says anything sexual, asexuals who are somehow both. Religious asexuals, agnostic asexuals.

Conventionally attractive asexuals, asexuals who don't gaf what they look like, asexuals who love burlesque art forms due to non sexual reasons. Asexuals loving nudity in art because NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT SEX.

Asexuals who're confused and questioning. Young asexuals who think they might somehow 'grow out of it' and are faking their identity. Old/Middle aged asexuals who just realized they've been ace all their life.

Asexuals wanting to be normal all their life. Asexauls realizing they are normal.

Asexuals coming out and their family accepting them without the ahem "You'll find the perfect person one day" ahem "it's just a phase" ahem ahem "that doesn't exist" ahem "all humans want sex" ahem ahem AHEM.

Asexuals loving garlic bread. Asexuals invading denmark and finally establishing the heaven we want to and not tolerating anyone's bullshit anymore.

The media ( if they acknowledge asexuality at all ) simplies it to just 'no sex lol'. When it's so much more. We're living, breathing people, we are so complex and our identities are valid. Let's acknowledge that :)

i don’t think people realize how well neil’s demisexuality is written. you can see his emotional connection to andrew change and grow as he learns andrew’s motivations and boundaires long before you can see his attraction to andrew appear.

i think the best example is how neil describes andrew in tkm. he never really thinks about it in detail at all and then all of a sudden “andrew looked as he always had, and neil knew his face as well as he knew every iteration of his own. despite that, something seemed different. maybe it was the sunlight streaming through the window, making andrew’s pale hair shine brighter and his hazel eyes seem almost gold. whatever it was, it was disorienting.”

demisexuality sometimes feels like a switch gets flipped out of nowhere. and andrew flipped neil’s switch because neil trusted him. trust and safety and boundary respect was literally the turn on.

A Letter from “Crawly” to Azirapil

This remarkable letter of unknown provenance surfaced recently in the cuneiform collection of the University of West Wessex.  Addressed to Azirapil from a Mr. “Crawly,” it appears to be begging for the other’s return to Ur from a western journey with another individual, Abiraham.  The relationship between the two (brothers? business partners? friends?) is unknown, and all three names are quite unusual.  The letter also mentions a Mr. Ea-naṣir in Ur; if this is the same Ea-naṣir as the merchant mentioned in UET V 22, 29, 71, and 81, then the original letter would be dated to the Larsa period, around 1800 BCE.  However, this particular copy appears to be a scribal exercise; the writing is relatively unskilled, and the cuneiform is Neo-Assyrian in form.  It is unclear whether the text is based on a historical letter, or if its unusual names and content were invented for scribal practice.

Text:

Tell Azirapil [1]:

Thus says “Crawly” [2]:

When will your time in the West be finished?  Abiraham [3] seems very dirty, and I am weary [4] in Ur.  [There is] a talented mirsu-maker [5] on Wide Street!

Watch out, for I have acquired a new friend.  His name is Ea-Naṣir [6], and I may play wickedly with him if you do not return.  

Come quickly!

Since garlic bread is made of plants, I'm counting it as processed vegetables.

Can I just say, uh, I’m pretty sure noticing you’re asexual is harder than noticing you’re any other sexual orientation, based on my personal experience and the numerous accounts I’ve heard from people of other sexualities. Like, I just read someone’s desciption of hitting puberty and, like, there’s nothing like that. There’s no sudden ‘boob’ moment as they described, no sudden ‘fuck, I’d fuck that’ moment that my friends have described, not sudden anything. You just, like, plod on through life as usual going ‘oooh, that’s pretty, I’d like that hair’ or ‘oooooh, they’re nice, I’d like to be close to them’ but there’s no like, ‘oh, someone would want to fuck that’ or ‘oh, that’s so damn sexy’, you know? You just- you don’t notice, you don’t realise everyone else has ‘had a moment’ but you haven’t, you just- keep going as you always have.

And then, much much later, you start to wonder why people are getting so caught up in drama for romance or sex, like, why bother? It’s not worth it, they’re not worth it, why are you doing stupid things for something that’s just so- and then you wonder if there’s something wrong with you, start mentally over compensating. Like ‘uh, okay, um, who should I date? Who can I stand to date? Who could I stand to fuck?’ like- it’s not, it’s not something you want, but you want to fit it, to be normal.

Sometimes you don’t even know that you’re doing it.

Sometimes you don’t even know asexual’s a thing.

I dunno, I guess, I just feel like, uh, people should understand more?

idk sorry thank you for listening to me

Some antis are stuck with this really narrow minded concept of morality. They think : "I have a great moral compass. So if it makes me uncomfortable, it must be wrong!" And then they just refuse to think beyond that.

People when they find out you're aro/ace: Oh no you poor soul you will be Lonely Forever I am so sorry for your suffering in solitude for the rest of eternity I cannot imagine what that's like

What it feels like to figure out you're aro/ace:

Y'ALL THIS IS THE COOLEST FANFIC I'VE EVER SEEN.

It is a complete narrative about SecUnits on a Planetary Survey trying to communicate and keep their clients safe while dealing with the restrictions of their govmod.

IT IS ALSO A FULLY INTERACTIVE GAME OF MINESWEEPER.

The story is told BY PLAYING MINESWEEPER.

This fic is criminally underrated go look at it!!!
