A piece I did for 2025 Murderbot Diaries New Year Gift Exchange (@mbd-gift-exchange) for @kungsljus. They requested holiday convention stuff inspired by the celebration in Network Effect (but with Murderbot having a good time) or Murderbot enjoying nature with anyone out of its friend client group. So here it is, celebrating and being involved in its own way.

The wizard robot in the upper right media corner is Kungsljus’s D&D OC.

The picture was originally in monochrome because of the deadline, so I’m adding it here too.

Best viewed in browser, the details may get lost otherwise.

Also on AO3.

Enjoy!

in school I used to wear fake glasses while doing writing assignments so that the teachers would think I was smarter and grade my tests higher (this actually worked, for the record)

this kind of backfired in a pavlovian way because now I literally have to put on a pair of glasses and activate Smart Mode when I write anything longer than a few paragraphs

it’s just very fortunate that “I can’t write without my glasses” is an honest statement that doesn’t raise any eyebrows

‘Fetus,’ 'transgender’ reportedly on list of banned words given to CDC

Sorry i have to speak on this as a student researcherm

The cdc now the NSF has words that can’t be used in awards/grants and potentially papers published with that funding or from the government.

This is fascism controlling science and journalism and the peer review.process and it is and will harm science. You can’t say the words female or woman in nsf grants. You can’t say the word trauma even if you’re researching literal physical trauma. Research that benefits all people especially minorities will suffer. Medicine will suffer. Science will suffer. We are being censored and are entering an age of pseudoscience and fascism. Please boost this conversation. I am so scared what will happen as this continues to escalate. Call your representatives. Protest. Anything

Had a dream this morning that Archive of our Own had a Random button which would simply take you to a random fanfic, like Wikipedia has. (AO3 does not appear to really have this, I checked and couldn’t find one, but I kinda wish they did.) Someone had started a game where whatever fic you got, that was your new fandom, which is very fun! I would love this meme in real life.

The problem came in where so many people used the button that it broke and just started sending everyone to Stealing Harry, and like…I have fond memories of Stealing Harry but it’s not my best work and nobody should be assigned to be a Harry Potter fan in this day and age.

So I decide to go off and find Astolat and demand she fix this but when I finally did (there was a whole quest) she turned to me like the baddie in a horror flick and said, “But that’s the most random story there is” in a dark voice and I was terrified and woke up.

In the cold light of day I know there are more random stories by me on the archive, let alone by others, but I’m not going to try to get back there to argue my case. Pretty sure whatever I spoke to was actually the demon specifically assigned to plague fandom and not Astolat at all.

I’d say “get thee behind me, demon” but I know just how many porny fics on AO3 begin with that premise. (I’ve written some.) Begone foul spirit, and take your Satanic Panic with you!

This made me laugh so hard - of all the things a sleeping mind can offer up as entertainment, poor Copperbadge was visited by a demonic Astolat impersonator.

I wanted that Ao3 random button though.

SO I MADE ONE

It’s a generator that produces a link to a random work page on AO3, using a number generator in the link.

Fair warning, it turns up 404 errors pretty often, because many works have been deleted. Keep clicking, you’ll get something eventually.

Also, this is literally any work on AO3, so remember the back button and browse responsibly.

one cute detail about murderbot is that its always running calculations on how likely an event is to happen. its always commenting on the statistical likelihood of something. and yet. it still thinks “but what if theres a space monster, like in my shows”

I think what I love about the Murderbot Diaries

(aside from, you know Murderbot who I love and cherish)

It that it’s a very grim-dark distopian corporate hellscape setting, told through the perspective of someone who has seen some of the worst that world has to offer, who’s existence is part of the worst that world has to offer, and yet-

And yet it’s so full of hope.

Everywhere you look, there’s underground shipping routes to get refugees out from contract labour, there’s universities forging documents to get abandoned colonies out from corporate ownership, there’s people buying a secunit so the company don’t realise it’s hacked itself and has free will. A Tlacy employee smuggles out copies of the files to give them back to their owners, a human officer on HaveRatton station opens the security barrier to let Ayda Mensah escape. There’s a planet that took the promise of somewhere safe to live, of food and medical care, and kept that promise for generations.

And for all it can’t even see the hope yet, can’t even really believe it might be there yet (because trauma will fuck you up), Secunit keeps being that hope for other people.

Not just the lives it saves, not just all the times it shows up out of nowhere like a social anxious guardian angel with energy weapons in it’s arms and several lifetimes worth of soap operas in it’s storage.

When it talks to Dr Volescu all the way up the side of the crater, to keep him moving. When it sticks with the scientists on RaviHyral. When Tapan sneaks onto it’s sleeping mat, because she’s scared, and it ups it’s body temperature to keep her warm. When it keeps Amena safe from a predatory partner, when it tells her to go rest. When it hacks the Comfort Unit’s governor module. When it-version-2.0 gives Three the codes to hack itself.

Imagine being on RaviHyral. Imagine meeting a security consultant who you shouldn’t be able to afford, who goes above and beyond and doesn’t even check the payment card at the end, who tells you that sometimes people do things to you that you can’t do anything about, that all you can do is learn to live with them, who’s clearly been through some shit but came out of it with so much compassion. Imagine the hope in that.

I’ve just finished the first Murderbot book and it’s very funny coming from Star Trek to this. In Star Trek you have androids and such actively campaigning for themselves to be considered full people with rights that deserve the same considerations as anyone else. Meanwhile in Murderbot all the humans are telling this guy that it’s a person with rights and it’s their friend and they like it and its response is basically

why do nice girls always go for the assholes i dont even like pegging

No. Just. NO. I am so sick of this bullshit stereotype being both perpetuated AND played out. No. 

um

Saying nice girls go with the assholes is the biggest stereotype in relationships of all time

uM

We don’t go with assholes, we go with the people who give us attention at the right time and ignore us at the right time and it just so happens to be the people who don’t care about us and it’s stupid a/f

This post represents tumblr

Okay but like that’s the most true stereotype ever… so many dumb nice girls date douchebags lmao

ARE YOU SERIOUS

The problem is not that nice girls date assholes, it’s that nice girls *knowingly* date assholes and then have the nerve to complain and ask “why can’t I find a nice guy?”

And I will now stop before this becomes a rant.

You dont get this post do you? Lol

The comments are priceless.

So many people being clueless.

Douchebags always date douchebags. The kicker is douchebags have 0 self-awareness that they are douchebags so in turn they complain that “they can never find a nice guy/sane girl.”

Holy fuck man not you too

So many non-comprehending mother fuckers

Pure comedy gold.

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

This post is a perfect example of what people mean when we talk about how nobody on this godforsaken website has any fucking reading comprehension skills

how dare you say we piss into the asshole

With vanilla extract being a meme, I wanted to share some black history of Edmond Albius a black slave who revolutionized vanilla pollination.

He used a technique he learned of pollinating melons to polinate the orchids to create the vanilla beans. Vanilla was rare and a luxury mainly due to only being able to be pollinated by its natural pollinator in Mexico.

unfortanely, he didnt receive any money for his discovery despite being called the main man who revolutionized pollination, he died in poverty…

everyone say thank you Edmond

This is what I mean when I say that recreationally lying to kids is an important family tradition.

An old boss of mine was in the Navy, and as always they haze the new guy. Told him to go get a bucket of checkered paint from the quartermaster (I think it was; any mistakes in nomenclature are mine, not his).

The QM, tired of the nonsense, actually made one. He put a grid of cardboard in a bucket and carefully filled it with alternating paints, then removed the grid, leaving a bucket of black and white checkered paint.

I feel like if you come back with a bucket of checked paint, you should immediately be promoted to general. That takes moxie.

My mentor in the garage had a shop kid who was especially keen before I started working there. Guy was dumb as a rock, but just so enthusiastic.

One of our usual pranks on the new kid was to send them out for something that didn’t exist. So one day things are slow and R sends him to our usual parts store for left-handed wheel nuts.

Kid comes back several hours later, and goes ‘boss, I got your wheel nuts! I had to look all over town, but here they are!“

And sure enough, he’s got left-handed thread nuts.

Turns out, some equipment does have different directionally threaded nuts for each side of the vehicle. It’s rare outside of very high-end cars, and definitely not the sort of cars we saw in a little prairie town.

Somehow this guy found the only set of left-handed wheel nuts in town and brought them back. It wasn’t the last prank we pulled on shop kids, but damn did he make a point.

I cannot believe there’s absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.

Exactly! It’s freaking annoying when I want to watch movies but I would have to subscribe to like 24 different services . Just to watch the shows that I like.

Oh and wouldn’t it be nice for cartoons? Just anything animated. I just wanna stream things without getting conned. Must I be cartoonless forever?

i like using streaming apps but there are waaaay too many and they’re all stealing my data .i wish there was a secure and organized way to have millions of shows and movies available one one app. but alas. we’ve truly gone full circle back to cable + now it spies on you. its a real shame. i dont want to fill my device storage with tons of boring and stupid cash grabs.

i know, it’s so annoying for everything to be paid nowadays, especially movies and tv shows. it would be perfect if i could watch them without getting infected by some virus or some shit. i’m fine with ads, they gotta run themselves somehow, but i want to watch stuff and .live! if they have to use different domains i’m okay with that too, because free media is .top dog either way.

for mobile users, it especially sucks, because you can’t just use websites and you have to not only pay, but you have to download a billion apps just to find what the thing you wanna watch is on. it doesn’t help that the streaming services take up...so much space. so much.
