Made an account so I could thank the Murderbot creators for including indigenous practices/cultures/themes in their futuristic sci-fi. Thinking of sticking around for the Murderbot fandom. I am participating!

If you like making #fanfiction or #fanart, please consider the #Murderbot and Mensah appreciation event on #AO3. I would love to see more fics of the TV versions, there is not a lot about them yet and i just love their relationship so much

Congratulations! This show is my Sanctuary Moon. It matters so much to me to see a mature woman as co-lead. And with anxiety and kindness and trying her best! Dr. Mensah is so aspirational and I adore her close friendship with SecUnit. Can't wait for season 2!

After reading Murderbot, I wanted more like it and was recommended your Dogs Of War. Loved it so much I’m slowly reading all your other books (Bear Head fave so far). Glad to see you like that show back!

Thank you Xavantina on tumblr for making memes about the relationship between these two, I adore them.

I am so excited! I love seeing it build new connections. That detail about the embroidery is neat, I had thought Ratthi had done the embroidery on his shirt but now I'm wondering if Arada did it for him while bored. Love the teeny tiny worldbuilding and crossing fingers for a Making Of one day!

I really enjoy the illustrations Jaime Jones does for #murderbot - the linework is spectacular! So this is an ode to the style of the special illustrated edition of System Collapse. I really hope Platform Decay gets a similar JJ treatment. One Murderbot harpooned into a wall at DeltFall.

When I am upset I rewatch episode 4 and 6 of murderbot TV. Seeing how they look after each other is so soothing and healing. (And the Leebeebee explosion continues to delight)

Just wondering about those transport boxes... #murderbot #murderbotTV #appleTV I based them off a box I saw in episode 1 when SecUnit is inspecting the habitat, and the habitat doors.

I was wondering how SecUnit is transported and if there is turbulence on hoppers... #murderbot #murderbotTV

It was called β€œStasis / Until Now”. No problem, i love reading murderbot fics. I have a bookmark that saves all the filters to automatically exclude ones i wouldn't be interested in

If you filter by β€œgen” and exclude relationships that involve a β€œ/β€œ you can find the nonsexual fics. There are quite a few tucked away and the writers are really good and creative. I just read a fic where MB went into a stasis next to Mensah and had a nightmare.

Thanks #murderbot

One of my favourite scenes in the whole show

Murderbot is the first TV show I've truly felt seen and cared about. it has led to lots of new friends and discoveries about myself. I especially love Mensah and Murderbot, how similar they are and how much they care for each other unconditionally. It is dearly needed optimism for the future.

Manifesting an illustrated edition! I cant wait to read its newest adventures and relationships.

I really like how much Murderbot and Mensah care for each other. They are so different and so similar and they care for each other so much.

I said, β€œI just really like you. Not in a weird way.”
β€œI like you, too,” Mensah said.

I didn’t know what to expect but having (the audiobook) start with 5 minutes of binary code had me laughing so hard and incredibly curious that I was immediately hooked. I have recommended it to so many people for being so different and entertaining.

β€œDo it scared” - they are both so cool.

Mensah from #murderbot and Ripley from #alien
Two of the best sci fi leads I’ve ever seen

β€œIts favourite person is Mensah, so she would most likely to be the one to draw Murderbot back into the fold” - yes please! Their friendship is so unique and different to what is usually on TV. I love how much they care for each other despite being so different.

It makes me so sad for Murderbot with how often its mental privacy is invaded in the show. Even to save it they take away all its privacy all over again. It just never gets any privacy.

Hello, how does one go about applying to give this a shot? Or have I missed my chance?

Here is the interview for anyone who wants to see it. They also compared Murderbot's armour to a disco ball

The most realistic outfit for sleeping in! The show didn't pretty her up for the viewer, they let her go to sleep as one does and the reality of it makes her all the more beautiful for being so very human.

In Cinematography interview Tobias described Mensah as the emotional anchor for the show and I agree. I loved her so much, it was so good to see a mature aged woman take co-lead role in a scifi. Noma was amazing in every scene and especially with Murderbot. Again, please #murderbot @marthawells.com

I can't wait!! I am listening to Network Effect right now and Amena and ART have the best voices (not up to Three yet)

I don't know how to send an ask sorry - will there be a graphic audio of the new Murderbot book by @marthawells.com ? Platform Decay? Looking forward to it if so.
