Murderbot is such a neurodivergent power fantasy. It can
- store unlimited media and watch it privately
- turn down sensory organs that are bothering it
- look at stuff without its eyes
- cross reference its data storage when it doesn't know what to say
- program "human-like behavior"
- super duper kill the shit out of anyone that fucks with it

Top 10 Blake Thorburn moments as of reading 5.5
In no particular order by the way
5. Promising Rose that he'll include her in descion making from now on before deciding to just tell the entire goddamn town that he summoned a demon and isn't afraid to use it
4. Reads about the most fucked up demon that lives in the attic and immediately goes "Ah cool, better check that out"
3. Finds out he's in a timeloop, immediately starts cutting himself with a toilet
2. Buys 20 mirrors, a chain, a hatchet, a baseball bat and then wonders why everyone else in the home depot is looking at him weird
- Calls a pizza guy partly to test if the monsters outside his house will kill them

taylor and lisa....
#this makes me picture a skitter scene#like that famous clark kent to superman transformation scene#where he takes off his glasses and stands up straight and changes his facial expression#and suddenly he's Superman#Taylor slouching and shy#and then suddenly millions of bugs swarm around and she's standing tall and terrifying

I miss when I would get Tumblr asks that actually said things and weren't just digital panhandling scams.
If I was a sociologist, I would definitely be doing a study on the methods and language of charity scammers. Especially the use of emojis, and identification by copied messages vs stock phrases.
For example, these four are all the same, with only slight variation in #1:
(I actually have duplicates from some of the "self-identified" anons above.)
But these two anons share the same new stock phrases:
"days are heavy" / "days that feel impossibly heavy."
Fascinated with the random person who commented on this post saying they've reported me for "genocide denialism."
Not to put too fine a tin foil hat on it, but:
- That is the kind of threat someone involved in these kinds of financial scams and the social engineering behind them *would* make! It's a threatening statement to the existence of my blog which usually means heightened fear/anxiety of the target, which makes people more likely to fall for a financial scam. Social shame and embarrassment are also heightened emotions! Bullying works! This would make an excellent social engineering counterpoint (if tugging on heartstrings doesn't work!) and might even be effective on many people!
- Sure, you can search the supposed connected usernames those anons claimed and find out specifics that way — but not a single one of those screenshots I showed specifies what they're referring to! The IDENTICAL messages from four "different people" never actually mention what their "family's struggle" even is! There's zero fucking context in the space of those messages. They're all IDENTICAL. I literally cannot be committing denialism about anything because those asks don't actually say anything I could be denying.
- So now you're asking why don't I just click on the usernames and find out more details? Simple. Because they're fucking fraudsters who sent me the same message like, six times with 4 different usernames attached AS ANONS. Why as anons if they have their own blogs and could send the messages that way? SIMPLE AGAIN: because if they're not logged into the blog accounts, you could have whole teams of people copying and pasting these anon asks to various Tumblr users constantly, and you can probably just bypass the ask limits by changing VPNs or going incognito or something. This is a DEDICATED scam. Is it a bot? MAYBE! But that also would explain some of why it doesn't work *while logged in* to the blog accounts — because being anon probably makes it easier to focus on volume.
Anyways a fool and their money are soon parted.

Vorkosigan Saga Pacific Rim Headcanons
Cordelia and Aral are drift compatible, of course.
Miles Vorkosigan isn’t drift compatible with anybody, but has once or twice (okay, five or six times) been forced to steal someone else’s Jaeger and solo it. It’s not clear whether he’s drifting with Admiral Naismith or not drifting or what. He continues to insist that this is never part of the plan, that any plan where you need to steal a Jaeger and solo it is a bad plan. The Dendarii can’t help but notice that he laughs gleefully over the com every time as he swats tanks with one hand.
Simon Ilyan can drift with anybody, but everybody would rather not: he brings nothing to the drift, but takes everything out of it.
Mark is also not drift compatible with anyone, and hates Jaegers. He was forced to try to solo a Jaeger one time, but it exploded. As part of his elite assassin training, Mark was trained to control Kaiju to destroy cities. It’s right there in his record, accessible to anyone with a security clearance, and he will calmly tell anyone, security clearance or not. People keep not believing him. He has destroyed three cities and did not enjoy it at all.
Ivan claims he once drifted with Miles. Most people don’t believe him. People who know him very well also don’t believe him, but admit it could happen.
Cetagandan Haut would never stoop to piloting Jaegers. Every time a Kaiju has a new power, Cetagandan Haut start manifesting the same power, 20 years later.
Every pair of Elena Bothari, Elli Quinn, and Taura are drift compatible with each other.

It honestly warmed my heart to read about how hard Fitz tries to be a good dad for Bee — and how badly it still goes sometimes. It was funny how he completely gave up on caring about her appearance. And oh my god, the knife lessons definitely paid off — she’s just like him, striking first and figuring out who it is later. Yep, Fitz, your nine-year-old daughter kills without a second thought.
