Murderbot Before MB 2.0 Was Made: It's just going to be a mindless virus. A very sophisticated one, sure, but not like a baby or anything.

Murderbot While MB 2.0 Is Alive: oh fuck it's in my systems oh fuck it's going to eat my brain SHIT FUCK

Murderbot After MB 2.0 Is Dead: Murderbot 2.0 was so smart and cool. things would be okay if it were still here : (

"Would it have been kinder to kill you, before you disabled your governor module?"

"Yes."

"You know I am not kind"

[hiridraws]

Does murderbot know I love it

Also Iris calling ART "honey" is so!!!! I love them

[pseudonym-creatures]

Spoilers!

Welp I guess it's murder time

[coffeenonsense]

I have a lot of feelings about network effect and ART and murderbot's relationship but imho a peak and very telling moment for ART is when it makes the humans ask what happened to that one SecUnit because:

it knows murderbot has told its humans Absolute Jack Shit about what having a governor module was like

that despite that murderbot won't actually lie to the humans about it

and finally, that the humans in question are smart enough to understand the implicit threat ART is making by having this question answered, which means it gets to be both informative AND terrifying (a win win)

When you keep your emotional support human safe in the shuttle while you explore the suspicious underground tunnels. Realistically speaking, Ratthi isn't in any more danger than the other two humans, but SecUnit is fucking Going Through It and it seems like the only thing keeping it sane is knowing it's human is safe but still near.

A quiet conversation that takes place in the short time skip between chapters 11 and 12 of System Collapse. Murderbot and Mensah watch the documentary it made, and take a moment to talk about what's happened and what comes next.

This is my fic for the 2024 Murderbot Gift Exchange!! My giftee was @babybluesquid. I was so excited about your prompts, they gave me the perfect chance to really tease out my emotions about System Collapse a bit more! Happy new year, I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Big thank you to the @mbd-gift-exchange organizers for all their hard work putting this together. The AO3 collection with everyone else's wonderful gift fanworks is here, go check them out!

Murderbot Gift Exchange: For Bless!

Murderbot Diaries: Exit Strategy Spoilers

This is an animation based on a scene in  Exit Strategy, book 4 in the Murderbot Diaries. It occurs near the end of the novel, right before the main climax, so contains MAJOR spoilers.

This animation contains audio from the offical audiobook, though I did skip about 2-3 ‘lines.’

This was made for  Bless -> @blessphemy as a part of the MBD Gift Exhange 2022. The prompt was Art Prompt A)  Murderbot's F*ing Pissed. You can see it pissed at 00:48 of the video

Art notes below

I did different sections with large gaps between them, so the art-style shifts a bit, and I was too lazy to go back and adjust the pervious scenes. I mean, I did a full min of animation, so I felt like that was good enough, lol Dr. Mensa’s design was based on Gil-estel

Secunit‘s  design based on Ucales (which is based on the japanese novels cover art) Please like the youtube video is you have time! https://youtu.be/P5r7FbTvxxk

[whisperofthewaves]

every time I get to this point (which is twice now) I have to stop and have a moment, bc when I first read a tumblr post mentioning that ART and Murderbot had a baby I immediately dismissed it as part of some vague fanon extrapolated from a barely relevant drop of canon.

but no.

Amena literally says it would be their baby. it's right there. spelled out in the sentence. that she says.

Fugitive Telemetry has me feeling feelings so
