#tmbdtv

imagine you're a highly skilled scientist and your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere and you call a mechanic to come help you fix it and the mechanic is like "I can't help you but I can tell you about my special interest favorite tv show" and you're like "that's actually not helpful at all and also now I'm having a panic attack" and then the mechanic is like "wait that actually reminds me of an episode of my special interest favorite tv show I am going to tell you about it now because I can" and you're like "please no I actively cannot breathe" and then the mechanic tells you about it anyway because they're neurodivergent and ridiculous and you're like "wait why this helping why are you so gentle and sweet underneath your off putting exterior why are you the best person I've ever met" and then the mechanic is like "I have come up with the solution to your car troubles" and you're like "great I love you let's hear it" and they're just like

one thing i really appreciate about tmbd is that murderbot remains weird and explicitly not-human. even when it is pretending to be one, the effort amounts to relaxing its posture and being overwhelmed by being given choices.

everything else aside, i really love who they casted as ratthi in the murderbot show like ?? he looks exactly as i imagined down to the half rolled down coveralls! and he has such a cute smile and i'm so excited to see ratthi in the show!!! hes really one of my favorite characters!
