I have to work tomorrow, despite tomorrow being a public holiday. (sob)
It got me thinking about Alhaitham's reaction to you having to work on holidays.
"Really? What a bother... Can't you get out of it somehow?" is his reaction when you tell him the night before said holiday.
You try to convince him that you really need to clock in, that there's this big project you need to talk about with your colleagues before the work week ends. By the end of the day, he is convinced.
... Or so you think.
Cue him trapping you in his arms when you try to get out of bed the next morning.
"Haitham?"
"Nnn."
"Let me go. I need to work."
"No."
"Come on, we talked about this already."
"No. Stay. It's a holiday. You're not supposed to work on holidays. Take a break."
"I told you I need to work on this today--"
His arms tighten around your waist. "No. Stay in bed. Stay with me. I'll pamper you all day. Anything you want... Just don't go."
You let out an exasperated sigh. "Well, better use that Acting Grand Sage title of yours to get me out of work then!"
He chuckles and nuzzles your back. His fingers knead on your stomach and sides, the comforting sensation making you smile. He murmurs against your skin.
"Thought you'd never ask."

thinking of the damsel route where the princess turns into an anime girl. thinking about how the mere act of questioning her autonomy made her lose it. because viewing her as brainless made her so. because our perceptions shape who she is, and by not believing her simple want we are not believing her existence as an original person. thinking about how she's a person until we decide she's not being "person enough"

The ONLY person I can imagine for a live action casting of Muderbot is Kit Young as Ratthi. That fake wannabe Murderbot white guy could totally play a corporation rim character, maybe someone who gets creamed by the real Murderbot.
Had no idea about this life action until now, but I was secretly hoping for an animated series with cool colorful visuals (like your blue pixelation for ART's presence, maybe a signature feed color for when people speak in the feed? Life action feels like such a cop-out)
hmm personally i imagined ratthi to be at least late 30s ish and also i would choose a south asian actor based on his name!! i don’t watch a lot of tv shows tho so i don’t know enough actors to have my own fancast lmao (martha wells’ pick of sendhil ramamurthy def works tho)
definitely agree however that if there had to be an adaptation (altho i think the series works much better as books) i’d prefer an animated one!! u could do so much…..

world's finest (1990) #1
[ID: two in-universe drawings from two different orphan children talking about their heros. The first one is by Ann Gray, who's eight years old. She drew a surprisingly decent photo of Batman in front of a yellow background and wrote, ‘My hero — Batman. He is strong and fierce and he can beat anyone. He is very tall. He wears a cool suit with a bat on. He is not afrade of bullits and he saved my life (true). No one nows his reel name or address. the biggist crinminel in all the world could not make him sorender. Batman keeps gothum city safe for everyone and pets.’
The second drawing is by Zachary Sikes who's 12 and a half years old. He drew a photo of Superman using his heat vision as he flies. He wrote, ‘My Hero — Superman. My hero is Superman. He is able to fly and I have seen him lift up a car (with 2 peeple in it). If you hit him in the face then he will just laff. Every one likes him and he saved my life once. The big S on his shirt is for his name (Superman). He lives in Metroplis (where I used to life also). He keeps everything there in law and order.’ END ID]
