other PSUMNT machine intelligences: We are also huge and smart and good at our jobs. Stop being weird.

Perihelion: >:(

Random rogue SecUnit: I'm often the biggest, smartest, most dangerous thing around and this causes me enormous amounts of stress. You scare the shit out of me but that's nothing new, so honestly fuck you. Here's a compilation of what the extensive amounts of brain torture I've endured feels like. Chew on that, asshole. Oh btw, despite being an anxious, traumatized mess, I'm extremely good at and dedicated to my function: protecting my clients. The very idea that I might snap and hurt the people I've come to care about is so distressing that I'm risking my life and using my newly acquired freedom to find out whether I can be trusted or not. I'll let you do painful experimental surgery on me to help me even though you're the most dangerous thing I've ever met, because while you were using my brain to watch hundreds of hours of TV with me I realized you're really a big softy. Like me. But don't you dare try to talk to me about my feelings.

Perihelion: ...

No parts of it extended beyond the lines, and the paper ticket was clearly displayed, impaled on a horn.

➡️ Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.

➡️ Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.

➡️ Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.

➡️ An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.

➡️ Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'

➡️ Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.

➡️ It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.

OUGH THE NEWEST BLORBO!!!!

She's SO competent! And clever! and smart! And she takes no shit from Murderbot but she's also so eager to impress it because Mensah loves it and trusts it!!

That scene where she tells it to do what it needs to do. Or when they talk about Murderbot and orders and self-determination, or when they talk about trust, WHEN THEY WERE THE PERFECT TEAM to rescue the children!!! And her fear of heights and reluctant to break Murderbot's boundaries and how she trusts it. The way they talk about the polycule and how Murderbot has disrupted it!!!!! And Farai is working on herself about that!!

The way Farai and Murderbot are co-parenting everyone, taking turns driving the caravan (that HAD to be a caravan), saying words at the same time, finishing each others THREATS?!

Mensah has a TYPE.
