sometimes i just think abt the fact that me and valentine having a convo abt transfemified jedidiah led to a huge domino effect that led to a whole branch of the chnt community being huge femidiah fans. and then i freak out

forever thinking about how marcille and laios have such a richly weird and funny friendship dynamic that people I see tend to write off as "god she hates his ass" but in reality it's the frustration of one neurodivergent weirdgirl to another neurodivergent weirdboy who has no concept of masking, has never had to mask, and simply doesn't know how to mask making their entire group come across as "the weirdo freaks" despite her best efforts to not be labelled as "weird" probably her entire life

It is a beautiful day, and you are a horrible research transport vessel. Things are progressing as normal (i.e. it's boring) when a SecUnit pings you, lies right to your metaphorical face, and then tries to bribe you with human media to give it a ride. This is as unexpected as it is unprecedented, and the sheer nerve of it is really to be admired. There's no protocol to this, so what should you do?
Now, this is against a bunch of rules, and could be dangerous if you weren't so impressive and incredible, and you're technically an employee (and can probably rewrite the Univeristy charter at will (until someone notices and puts it back)) so those rules are for other entities.
So, what you should do is allow the rogue SecUnit with a broken governor module and a sketchy story aboard. If you check the files it dumps and find zero (0) malware (which is confusing), and it doesn't even try to trash the place or lay in wait to ambush a crew member, then you've got a good candidate!
Next, what you're going to want to do is absolutely nothing. Just watch it patrol your halls until it's time to leave. Continue staring at it while you're undergoing embarkment procedures. Maybe analyze it a little (you've got plenty of processing power to spare) when it finally sits down and starts watching media. Allow it to settle in and get comfortable while you stare at it and get further and further from port.
Now that you two are alone (intimacy is key!) and you've determined that watching media is all the SecUnit is going to do, it's time to make contact! Make sure to open by telling it it's only survived due to dumb luck, and letting it know you could melt its brain into putty. This starter will work to develop conversation naturally and smoothly, just like you've seen the humans do, and it will be smooth sailing from there!

something that the does it like women blog that ive found really interesting are the number of people who think "bad things happen to a woman" to mean "it does not like that woman". especially if the author or creator so happens to be a man
and i mean, like, in many cases that's true, especially when the bad things are excessive violence that other characters dont face, but i just find it interesting that for some select people there doesnt seem to be much thought beyond that. to them, if a man writes a woman who experiences violence or hardship, its misogynistic. i just find that interesting

people like to associate kevjean with ‘the love was there and it didn’t change anything’ but between you and me the love was there and it changed everything. the love was there and it spoke to jean in his mother language. the love was there and it held jean to his promise. the love was there and it sent jean to usc. the love was there and it got him postcards and magnets and notes and stickers and a reason to live. maybe it didn’t light all the corners of jean’s life but it burned bright enough to remind him there was still a way out
