re: Thiago: Murderbot has a pattern of forming a defensive kind of grudge against people who are some of the most openly practical pacifist members of its group. I could make a venn diagram of Gurathin and Thiago, two humans that Murderbot notably decides it Dislikes, with "expresses a desire for Murderbot to open up to people emotionally/to know about Murderbot's feelings" and ALSO "talks out loud about the sanctity of life / loudly wants Murderbot to understand that killing people is to be avoided" in the middle.

And like. yeah, of course the combination of those two attitudes will make Murderbot decide you are To Be Avoided At All Costs. because Murderbot has lived its formative years in a system where, to survive, Murderbot has had to kill people, involuntarily, over and over. and it hated that. but if it refused, it would be Tortured. To Death.

so.

no WONDER Murderbot avoids the humans who A) are loud about Killing Being Wrong and B) want Murderbot to talk about its feelings. because, like, what do they want? they know Murderbot has killed people. do they want it to open up that wound for them and say things out loud like "yes, I regret killing people"??? Murderbot literally has been conditioned to feel like it's going to die if it expresses that feeling!! not to mention that if Murderbot admits it's a person with feelings, then it has to admit it could be seen by these pacifists as a bad person, not just a tool of an evil system?? which is a whole OTHER can of worms???

Ratthi snorted. “No, that’s Thiago. I’m optimistic but a realist.”

Thiago

[dravencroft]

Let's pretend he can enjoy a sunset without burning to a crisp for once.

Thiago Diaz, Seneschal of the Camarilla court of the city of Davenport. Just a Samedi trying his best to keep some order in a very complicated domain.

condolences to murderbots very real emotional turmoil but the dynamic these two have in the first half of network effect IS hilarious

[rosewind2007]

Okay, so one thing I had with Network Effect was that Thiago annoyed the hell out of me: calling Amena daughter (yeah, maybe it’s cultural—but maybe it’s just really annoying); almost getting MB killed; calling Mensah by her first name in front of MB (yeah, maybe it’s cultural but also maybe he’s stressing the fact that he gets to use her first name when MB always refers to her as Mensah or Dr Mensah?) and just generally…

So it delighted me to find that Iris shares my feelings

So thank you, Martha Wells for that

Spoiler:

(ART actually was joking. Mostly. Iris told Thiago that it had undergone a traumatic experience and would verbally act out until it had fully processed what had happened. Thiago said he knew that but he also thought it enjoyed terrifying people. Iris was pissed off and just smiled in an “I’m going to pretend you aren’t serious so I don’t have to fight you right here in this corridor” way.)

Iris is in danger of fighting Thiago in the corridor

Me and Iris, we know

(Obviously he’s not evil—just really really annoying)
