ok so like. murderbot is famously anti-food right? but consider. we know secunits have a sense of smell. it mentions liking/not liking plenty of smells across the series (the 'dirty sock' human smell, ART's showers smelling good.)

where i'm going with this is that good food smells good. and i don't think mb has ever been around any good food. like think. academic surveys, mining installations, close-quarters space travel, these are not places or occasions known for their cuisine. its experience of food in an olfactory sense is probably limited to ration packs & corporate cafeteria lunch settings. until relatively recently, it had never even been through the 'human' parts of stations before, where it may have smelled some sort of actual food in passing. it's probably seen plenty of other types of food on media, but never smelled any of it.

so imagine. come with me on a mind journey. mb stopping in on Mensah's actual house for some reason during the day, and one of her spouses or something is baking gingerbread (very much the kind of cookie that fills up the whole house with good smells). like. would it even recognize it as being food necessarily? gingerbread is very much one of those smells that everyone tries to recreate and no one quite can. I imagine it's not thrilled with the concept of ovens in general (humans please stop putting your hands in/near hot things), but imagine it frantically trying to place the smell and mensah being like hey you good? and it being like theres. a smell. something must be wrong somewhere. and mensah being like oh no that's just gingerbread, tano's baking cookies. and it's like that's FOOD???

I complain about wanting male attention bc of my daddy issues and then when I get perceived in any sort of way by a man I’m like I’ve been doubly victimized …. This is the worst, most blasphemous thing to have ever happened to me ……. The nerve on you to think you can speak to me …………….

what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again

I love that no matter how many fucking times alison gestures to exactly where the ghosts are mike will still look up in the air for them. the fact that he makes an attempt to interact directly with them instead of just always looking to alison is so charming. but also adhd king.

This definitely won't happen but it would be so fucking funny if they arrive at the planet Thrawn and Ezra were stranded on and it turns out that these two are best friends now and Thrawn is completely on Ezra's side. Morgan Elsbeth pleads for Thrawn to return and reignite the Empire and he's just like "those bitches? Fuck em. Ezzie and I started a band, we play Jizz music on Wednesdays. Here's my wallet pictures of us hanging out."

So sad that wandering cultivator plantzun era was too short. His visage and stench were too powerful.

I'm just imagining a scene where he busts into an establishment, looking for some refreshments and he's just COVERED in dirt, grime, some other mysterious substances, and are those mushrooms growing on his clothes? His face is so dirty and his whiskers are so scraggly that you can't clearly see what he looks like. Obviously wearing no shoes by the way, dried mud are his new socks, maybe some thorns still stuck in his soles as well. His hair a completely greasy undone rats nest. He LITERALLY smells like a corpse that was unearthed from a swamp. SQQ does this sort of appearance several times at so many inns, taverns, and teahouses while wandering the realms that he is basically a cryptid. Some people believing that he is actually a corpse. Places of hospitality go into a tizzy when word reaches the area that he might drop by, kind of like when that one gross spirit that arrives at the bathhouse in the spirited away movie.

Even though he is unsettling and hard to be around cuz of the stench and grime, people still have this weird kind of respect for this wandering cultivator? Cuz he still gets the job done when there is trouble nearby?? He's also strangely polite??? So it's like *slowly pushes a plate of food as thanks for saving the town before quickly backing away before the smell reaches them* type vibes.

(Cut to SQQ, who is still addled from his resurrection, not realizing its that bad or after his body switch the grossness of braving the elements does not bother him anymore whatsoever. He is still very smug for having the perfect disguise though...)

any time i imagine kid xelqua lounging in grian's house, he is watching sesame street or dragon ball z, with snacks sat on the cushion next to him.

he shoves the snacks into the crease of the couch when he thinks he might get in trouble for eating on the furniture and doesn't want to get caught. (he would not have got in trouble, but now he will, just for that)
