Nerd Dump

little miss auditory processing disorder would like you to repeat what you just said then immediately respond to you before you finish

I feel so predictable saying that Murderbot is my comfort book/show. Like really. The media about an autistic robot who uses media to comfort itself and cope with its feelings, is the one I (an autistic person) uses to comfort myself and cope with my feelings. Great. I'm so unpredictable and intriguing.

tmbd has taught me the importance of the fundamental right to be a bit of a cunt. slash srs. there is nothing in the world that makes me feel like a caged animal more than when my ability to be a huge bitch without repercussion is taken away

this fetish stuff is getting out of hand what the fuck is word play

Love the moment in System Collapse when Ratthi makes a joke about round hatches being scarier than square ones, SecUnit decides to fact check this by searching its entire media library for scary things coming out of doors and doing statistical analysis on the shape of the doors and discovers he's right, and ART goes "You wasted processing space on that?" And then ART gets sucked into participating in the inane conversation within seconds.

very much appreciate that murderbot has a full cop story, as in works with the cops, does a bunch of detective work, solves a case no one else could have solved, and comes out of it thinking 'well I'm not doing that again'. so many stories have beloved characters, especially rebellious ones (???), becoming cops as the happy ending and when we have a character that is literally Cop Gender it is given the opportunity to pursue that in a more liberated place and still says no fuck that I'm not doing that. martha wells said oh no not this time not my baby
