Name This Blog For Me

Lots of thoughts and feelings about the loose rogue in Platform Decay but the thing I keep coming back to is that it offers the hack after Murderbot tells it it has clients.

It's strange to think that Gurathin in the show is LIKE THIS because David Dastmalchian (I could just finish the sentence here, but no) had a really rough time mentally during the filming of season 1, and it manifested itself in how he played the character. Specifically, here he talks about how he usually avoids brining his own experiences and emotions when playing a character, because it's not really healthy. But with Gurathin it all came so naturally and fitted so well he just let it happen.

Show writers: So he's an ex-spy, former Corporate guy, probably has Seen Some Shit but he's pretty cool and keeps it down low...

A gift for a friend who absolutely adores marine animals and asked me to draw their favorite with a pride flag!

If you adamantly refuse to even hear an opinion or point of view that differs from the one you've been taught to believe, you don't actually believe the one you've been taught. A genuine conviction doesn't waver from something as flimsy as mere exposure to disagreeing ideas. If you fear that hearing an idea that deviates from the "right" ones might make you accidentally adapt it, get the two confused and forget which one was the "right" and which one was the "wrong" idea, and get rejected by your peers by accidentally echoing the wrong kind of thoughts, you don't actually truly think that the things you've been taught as right are right.

I think Platform Decay might have all but confirmed my pet theory that Murderbot doesn't really have a hard boundary for touch (like it does for sex), but more of a controlled border. It doesnt actually hate being touched. It just wants to be able to say no.
