"Master Manipulator"

The guy who duped a teenager into being his hitman, gave up in waiting for results and just did it himself

The guy who tried to get under Shadow's skin by wearing a skin that looked like Shadow, and ended up as a puddle of oily sludge across the desert floor because Shadow wasn't playing these games

The guy who tried to pick the brain of an actual robot, and got nearly turned into Swiss Cheese because E-123 Omega unloaded two gatling guns of ammo into him because he told the robot he was going to betray his bestie

The guy who's ENTIRE plan hinged on making a teenage girl cry

The guy who is currently being gaslit about his ability to exist in the timeline, and has been screaming about it since

Also—bots don't have money. They are not considered people. (ART has probably squirreled away money, but it is also not a bot, it is a tax evader. Among many other things.) So, at most, bots get to kind of watch Poob over some human's shoulder, and if the human decides that the serial sucks just when it's getting to the good part, too bad. And here's this handsome machine intelligence (bots like big RAM and they cannot lie) just giving it to you?

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

stuff for a lil overblot au i've been playing around w/ recently (or rather part of a round two of overblots au)

[gesturing to a table littered with notes] trust issues and post-book 4 tensions and isolation and how water acts as a barrier in stuff like moats and islands and the like. you know how it is.
