obligatory character birthday post ! !

Happy birthday HAL :D

I HATE that every time I try looking up fiction books about machines and other forms of artificial intelligence that have souls or sentience

I get information about fake authors stealing other people's work by publishing "ai books"

I don't want your art theft!

I want Lieutenant Commander Data

I want Murderbot

I want Mosscap

I will never tire of a creature that loves and fears and fights with all the trappings of humanity... Just a little to the left. Just a little different. But no less whole and real.

I love you robots as allegories for neurodivergence, queerness, and different types of being othered

I love you robots building a found family and an identity for themselves at the same time

I love you learning that the world is hostile and you don't need to understand how someone works to accept them

So, if you have any recs, please for the love of God let me know. I need more

Solrock always looks so fed up with ur shit in every screencap i see of it

beat portal 2 again last night and he’s my newest babygirl i fear

Remember that Doctor Who episode with the space whale and “maybe if you stopped torturing the pilot you would go faster”? Yeah, that, but make it Murderbot.

Seriously, Murderbot without the governor module is getting better and better at its job. It’s better at hacking, is capable to process more inputs at once, being able to talk candidly to it’s clients allows for quicker action, being able to refuse stupid orders and telling someone no is only helping
