    Positive Representation, Complex Emotions, and a Fictional but Semi-Heroic SecUnit in Media by

    Summary

    I don’t normally pay that much attention to the credits. In general, I tend to care more about the fictional characters than the real humans playing them, but this had caught my attention.
    I mean, it wasn't the first serial that ever put in a SecUnit as a villain instead of a prop. RihaniLane Street had actually made their SecUnit villain sympathetic before it tried to kill everyone. And obviously this fictional SecUnit was going to be a villain, too, because they always were, but that scene was —
    The credits said ‘Made and Produced in GoodNightLander Independent.’
    Oh.

    -
    Or, Murderbot has feelings about finding positive representation.
    Mostly positive.
    Even when humans try, they get SecUnits wrong in media.
    (Not the murder, the murders were justified, but the writers made the fictional SecUnit like cubicles)
    (It’s still pretty positive.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    >The forger and SecUnit were in the kitchen, both painting canvases. The forger had a stunning picture of a planetside park, while the SecUnit was making a reasonable image of the smuggler’s ship.
    >I’d assumed the joke would be either that bots have perfect control of brushstrokes to make gallery-worthy pieces, kind of like what it had done with the card game, or that because this SecUnit had never held a brush it would be an unrecognisable scribble. The fact this art was amateurish but not exactly a joke was interesting.
    >I didn’t know what it meant. If it meant anything.
    >ART tapped me to let me know apparently the forger’s painting was a brushstroke perfect replica of some very famous artwork. Presumably she was the joke of the scene, not the SecUnit.

    this fic has a running tally of assasin numbers and this is hilarious

    Summary

    Amena just had the worst day in the universe, and she saw what SecUnit's body looked like when the spooky ship rushed it to the MedBay. It's evening now, and nothing is happening at all. Luckily(?) the spooky ship is willing to talk to her about it.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    >That sounded dry, like another joke. Amena hoped the phrasing wasn't meant to be as cold as it sounded. Mutual acquaintance. "It's my friend. It's—it's a lot. I don't know how to put it."
    >"It is a semantic difficulty," the ship agreed. "You would think that after thousands of years, humans, as a species that survives on the basis of interpersonal interaction, would have elegantly defined every possible connection between individuals. And yet here we are."

    >[“You will have friends again,” Rocky says, that same emphatic undertone in his voice.]
    >I want to argue with his certainty, but my throat feels tight. Words won’t come.
    >Rocky repeats:
    >[“You will have friends again.”]
    >“Yeah,” I agree.
