murderbot i love you

'sincerity and innocence of purpose of an iceberg drifting into a major shipping lane' is by far one of my favourite character introductions to date

Something I enjoy about Martha Wells writing and the Murderbot books is how often she plays with the way very close 1st Person narration can hide the physical reality of the character. Murderbot just spent three pages telling me about its very level headed ideas and then it cuts to and anyway the whole time I've been thinking about that I've been silently curled up on the floor like a dog while everyone politely waited for me to be done.

probably my favorite no context screencap of game changer 8.02 has GOTTA be this one

donut is so fucking brutal 😭😭😭

and then you remember there’s also a talking cat eating cherries from dirty Shirleys while a guy has to run around in boxers bc the AI thinks it’s funny. whiplash, dude lol

The Patrician told me the Post Office keeps eating his Postmasters so I asked how many Postmasters he has and he said he just goes and gets a new Postmaster afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding Postmasters to the Post Office, and then Moist von Lipwig started crying.

i’m so normal about this series
