^ Murderbot

big fan of characters who have it all under control when theyre put in situations but no idea how to be like a regular guy doing regular stuff when all is said and done.

Random headcanon:

Murderbot has really strong opinions about armor in fiction. It got permabanned off a forum site for getting into an argument over the topic.

It’s still on that forum site. The mods have yet to catch it again.

I really need to get back into TMBD

they should do severance-style promo for whenever murderbot finally releases where it’s just alexander skarsgard watching tv for 10 hours

Both times this showed up on my dash, it was reblogged by different mutuals who both put in the tags how their answer was definitely "no" because their blorbo was Murderbot. And my own answer is "no" because my blorbo is also Murderbot, lol.

Alright today's question. could you get away with naming your kid after your favourite blorbo yes or no

And what I mean is would it work both as a name for an actual child and is it a common actual name or is it something more obscure. And is it from a media where people won't recognize where you got the name depending on whether or not that's a good or bad thing

I felt its attention shift in the feed.

(Imagine it staring meaningfully at me.) (It could stare all it wanted, I’m not apologizing.)

One must imagine Murderbot happy.

Turned one of my little figure studies from a few days ago into a full illustration!! Only the full art treatment for my bestie

Because I’m only slightly obsessed with this piece and everyone has been so nice and enthusiastic about my TMBD art (🥹), I also edited it into a phone background which can be found below the cut!

When the FB algorithm thinks it’s figured out your style—but it’s actually just that you’re obsessed with Murderbot…

[antigonick]

I'd given a tiny piece of myself away. That can't happen. I have too much to hide, and letting one piece go means the rest isn't as protected.

You ever think about how Murderbot knows how to pretend to eat down to the details of each excruciating step?

I do.

What the fuck did its previous clients do to it?

Ratthi: (seemingly apropos of nothing) "I know it doesn't compare to having guns in your arms, SecUnit, but we human biologists have tiny knives around our eyes in order to help us do our jobs."

Murderbot: "... What the actual fuck, Ratthi."

(As Ratthi delightedly explains, Murderbot messages Arada to check whether this is actually true. She says it is, but Murderbot is still suspicious that both of them are pulling its leg until Arada sends it a copy of her grad project which employed this methodology.)

are you guys aware of eyelash knives
