dr who’s on first, doctor strange is on second and doctor house is on third. theres no way theyre getting through a single inning

so who’s on first?

That’s right 👍🏻

that’s strange

No, he’s on second.

Well how’s he on second if he’s on first?

No no no, House is on third. Second base is Strange.

Well this whole darn thing is strange but what I’m asking is who’s on first?

Naturally.

Who?

Naturally.

So Naturally is the first baseman?

No. The first baseman is Who.

Well I don’t know that so how’s about you tell me?

House is on Third.

I’m not asking you about third base I’m asking you about first base.

Who’s on first!

This is horrible

Dr Horrible is the pitcher, not first base

That’s not what I’m asking about! No!

Dr No is in the outfield, but let’s not worry about them right now.

Sure, those are all horses. Don't worry about it.

I love The Murderbot Diaries because it reads like fanfiction of The Murderbot Diaries. "Murderbot finally has to acknowledge its PTSD when the symptoms start to endanger its work, surrounded by loving friends who do their best to help it accept that it has value as a person not just a tool" is a fanfiction plot. "ART isn't allowed to do the accounting because it cooks the books for no reason" is something Tumblr would make up. And yet.

I’m reading fanfic of Murderbot and just let me say that I keep forgetting the Argument Lounge is a term in the source material and was not made up for fanfic.

my favorite thing about that sequence is that MB describes ART as metaphorically "clutching its function" in the same way an overwrought Victorian lady might clutch her pearls.

I know everyone's all on the "SecUnits quietly freeing themselves from their governor modules eventually escape/revolt and set up on Preservation" train but I think it would be way funnier if Murderbot and a handful of humans end up stranded somewhere and get rescued by a mysterious ship who are really tight-lipped about where they come from and won't name what corporation they're working for or let them access any information while they rescue them and weather a long trip home and MB's all "I have to pretend to be human and also find out if we've been captured by pirates or by some random corporation because we've definitely been captured by *somebody* who's trying to figure out how to make a bunch of money out of rescuing us", but it turns out that the whole reason that their rescuers were tight-lipped was because THEY thought that MB's group were pirates and/or scummy corporates trying to spy on THEM (an impression not helped by MB and friends trying to dig into their files and figure out who they are) and they're trying to maintain secrecy because they're from a different independent planet that's trying to stay as off-the-radar as possible because it's the refuge of a bunch of "stolen" (freed) constructs of all kinds that were rescued by that one comfortunit that MB freed way back, and the CU and its ever-growing cast of allies have been focusing on freeing constructs this whole time while MB's been off fucking around with its own stuff.

I love MB and it doesn't owe anyone a revolution, it can spend its own time however it likes, but if you hand a sex slave who's been forced into bullshit profit and murder schemes the universal key to its bomb collar, I wouldn't be remotely surprised if its first thought is "I'm going back in for the others". MB handed the key over in honour of the comfortunits who'd given their lives trying to protect people and everything.

Also it would be nice to see some more narrative justice for the comfortunits after MB's... entire attitude. I love MB as a narrator, nothing against a bigoted protagonist, it's a great character beat, but that person who pointed out that constructs absolutely are not ungendered and that their two genders are Prostitute and Cop wasn't wrong. It'd be nice to get some more of Team Prostitute than MB's... mis-comfort-y? Someone help me invent a word here. We got a sort of begrudging "well those were some of the good ones" re: the CUs who sacrificed themselves to try to save people in the mine and then dropped all awareness of comfortunits entirely like a loudly homophobic grumpy grandpa at Christmas quietly mumbling that the gay neighbour is a hard worker at least and then dropping the topic for the rest of the year without having to admit to himself that same sex marriage isn't evil.

I wasn’t gonna talk about it but one of my parents died the other day and the weirdest part has been not talking about it, specifically because they sucked and I kind of don’t care and that’s not a very hashtag relateable thing to bring up around the office so I’m just walking around at work rn like “nah not much going on hbu”

As a “dark humour is my coping mechanism” person I would describe this feeling as “children’s birthday clown with a flashbang grenade” and I gotta say, the deeply fucked up power is intoxicating
