Building a bonfire. The photo did not have a photographer but had a patron: “There is something fascinating about the a structure designed with the intent to destroy itself. An interesting twist on “form follow function;” the architecture of imminent demise.”

what are YOU lookin at

“the meaning of life is love” if you mean romantic then no, I am walking away from your definition and mind that values romance as the single pillar of life. if instead you mean the devotion of a friend to knowing the recipe of your favourite soup, the never-ending patience of your fingers scratching your pet’s itchy fur in just the perfect spot, the gentleness of the old neighbour tending to flower that will only bloom one year but they think still deserve to have the best care, the child reading a book of its most beloved story to a sibilng. if you mean humanity looking at the world and asking “who are you and how can I love you” and after not getting an answer, inventing poetry and song and science to understand, to adore, to remember. then yes. I walk towards you.

what leonide says in network effect—"Company units have a reputation for being dangerous" (Network Effect, pg. 221)—is SOOOOOOO fucking interesting because. i think this is like the one detail we get about the Company that murderbot itself doesn't give us

murderbot talks about the Company with internal knowledge—it doesn't mention the Company's reputation. the presaux crew talks about the Company in tandem with the CR; it's all equally horrible to them. so this is the first... not unbiased, but first real outside perspective we get of the Company, that gives us actual context for where murderbot came from

this, coupled with the detail that Three, unlike murderbot, was allowed to communicate w/ other secunits and work together makes me wonder just what is or is not actually typical with secunits. i wonder... was the Company, of all the secunit manufacturers/renters, worse?

"Company units have a reputation for being dangerous." why? do they "malfunction" more? are they taken advantage of by third parties more (combat modules, the ganaka pit hack, etc.)? are they kept alone, obedient, disposable, until they can't endure it? until they go rogue?

i am so curious.

That’s a red flag to YOU! To Marcille she’s just charming.

Had this idea ever since I finished reading Dungeon Meshi and finally got around to finishing it.

Elf androgyny and dwarf androgyny and orc androgyny are like three very different forms of androgyny and defiance of the binary and they’re all so good

I love how much we get to see SecUnit's humans being protective of it.

Ratthi immediately piping up whenever anyone says something insensitive.

Pin-Lee having a hair-trigger and jumping straight to attempting to obliterate Senior Indah's career for calling SecUnit a "dangerous weapon."

Gurathin hanging around to wait for Preservation station security to show up because he just knows they're gonna hassle SecUnit and wants to be there.

Mensah physically placing herself between SecUnit and a company gunman in power armour (she is so fucking cool)

They might not be the sort of protective to kill everyone in the room and then themselves if it gets hurt, but they still try just as hard to keep it safe, in whatever ways they can. And to be quite honest I don't think Pin-Lee's above a bit of violence either.
