Happy pride month lads! 🧡💛🤍💙

ART is probably its best friend, the person it can be most itself around, or be the most fully perceived around. MB doesn't have to hold its punches around it at all and that's important. #MutualAdministrativeAssistants

Dr. Mensah is its favourite human, yes. It is fully 110% ride-or-die for her. And yes that includes a degree of comfort and emotional intimacy, e.g. it will put its feet up on her office couch and trust her not to hug it unless very necessary. but it's very knight-to-liege-lord at the same time.

Pin-Lee is like. On equal standing. A valuable warrior in her own right, just in a different arena. Murderbot respects her professionally, and also the two of them can be little bitches together, it's good for their mutual mental health.

Bharadwaj is Murderbot's therapist. I mean its art friend too, i think it learned SO much about documentary filmmaking from her that came in Real Clutch. but she has tricked it into therapy and i think it's noticed that and it's just pretending it hasn't. that would be awkward. so.

Gurathin is in a unique position as the #worstie. he's the first person Murderbto could be mean to and that's become the core of their dynamic. snark central.

but Ratthi? ratthi is just a sweet little guy.
