BTW i see these posts all the time like "ohhh i dont know what to comment on fics.." and every response is "keysmashes! or hearts!! anything works :3" and thats GREAT!! thats helpful!!

but: consider. if u genuinely like analyzing writing.. do u know ur just allowed to go through and quote your favorite parts and ramble abt what they mean to u and the author will LOSE IT WITH HYPE?

genuinely. i felt SO WEIRD the first time i did it.. but like. holy shit authors love it. its crack for authors. the first time i did it, it was on a fic that hadnt updated in half a year, give or take, and the author made 3 updates that month BECAUSE OF MY COMMENT.

LIKE. as an author every comment is INCREDIBLE!!! but also, dont feel like your comment has to be short or otherwise ur invasive or smth!! authors ADORE long comments more than ANYTHING.

Wondering why I've been so obsessed with The Murderbot Diaries recently. Realised it's because I've been Watching Media And Still Doing My Job because I don't know what I want for the past five years like I'm a robot who has just attained free will, and maybe reading about someone who gets out and looks for and finds it is appealing right now

i like his obviously lying voice

listening to the edison kingdom arc as a certified chip enjoyer is so delightful. chip's vague suggestion that they should get the older kids from the sunny side up orphanage to help him and the rest of the albatrio pickpocket the richer blossom district residents... and it immediately gets shot down by jay and gillion because their lived experiences are so different.

i imagine reuben really prioritized/pushed chip's ability to go unnoticed and sneak around. if reuben's hands protected chip from danger (at a point where their relationship was being built into something, before it went downhill), chip's hands slipped into the pockets of wealthy passerby.

chip obviously sees himself in these kids in the orphanage, and begins to track his lived experiences with reuben (and later their crew) onto them. why wouldn't they want to go up there to steal for themselves? that's how chip was useful in his youth, doing something that'd keep him and reuben alive. stealing and thievery meant agency and survival.

and jay thinks he's crazy! he'd be putting them directly in danger of being caught! she thinks it's a terrible idea, because she thinks it's dragging them into the situation, into peril. chip sees these kids as already in danger. he thinks that the reason these kids currently pickpocket people on the bottom layer is because they don't have the opportunity to do so from the people up top (because of the five gold coin fee to even get into the layer that they certainly can't spare). in his mind, he's giving them agency.

not to say that sending a bunch of orphans to go steal from rich people on the blossom district would be a good idea: another decision he thinks he's making logically, aka more people stealing = more gold coins, but is instead emotionally driven.

jay and gillion object so immediately because they don't have the lived experience that chip does, so they don't have the emotional connection either.

everything else that happens after in edison kingdom, especially with chip's conversation with king leon where he talks about how people can't choose what they're born into, and the kids living in poverty never chose that either, is also so telling of his character and who he is. all such a good direction for his character to have gone after opposing gillion's drive to help loffinlot/desire island/win the paramount tournament.

Well I like it but it’s not very well written. Also it’s a visual mess. The plot doesnt make any sense and the creators suck and its politics oscillate from mildly problematic to frankly baffling. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. However. the character
