Undecided

i think being able to identify and deconstruct an irrational feeling should make it go away. i literally solved your riddle puzzle master can u let me OUT the damn TORTURE LABYRINTH

This is a fucking stunning use of lyrics and images. I gasped the first time I saw it.

love how murderbot makes it about six hours as part of an actual crew before contracting a case of o captain my captainitis. classic mistake

“dr mensah is murderbot’s mother figure!” “no, she’s its romantic interest!” you’re all wrong, murderbot is a jaded 19th century royal marine and dr mensah is the first charismatic captain it’s ever had and brother it did not stand a chance

being a humanities major who’s friends with stem majors is so funny because you’ll ask your friends what they’re doing today and they’re like “UGH it’s so stressful i have to stabilize the reactor core for my nuclear power midterm and then i have to build the supercomputer from i have no mouth yet i must scream for my electrical engineering homework :/ what about you” and you’re like “oh well i have to read a fun little book and write an essay about gender.” and they still think you have it worse

Being a stem major who's friends with humanities majors is ALSO funny bc you ask what's goin on with them and they're like "oh yeah my day's pretty good! I only have to read 50 pages for this one class today and half a book for another one. It's much better than last week where I read three books and wrote a 10 page paper about their overlapping motifs for one class while also researching a niche period of time that our library doesn't have any resources on. How's it been for you?" and you're like "oh I have a lil packet of fun math puzzles due tomorrow." and they look at you like you're carrying the weight of the universe on your back

This is your reminder that just because something falls within the skillset you've practiced, so you can do it and you don't find it particularly hard or stressful relative to other things, it doesn't mean it isn't actually hard work you should be proud of yourself for accomplishing!

this applies to writing and art, too

When the subject matter is very dark, but there's hilarious jokes in there so you brand it a comfort watch.

malcolm bright, being interviewed by internal affairs to see if he’s fit to continue dangerous and highly sensitive mission work without being a danger to himself or his team: so then i let the untrained cult leader give me electroshock therapy

murderbot is really like "thru the power of all of the tv i have watched and my robotic components which include a lot of weapons, I can handle any situation"
