    Bookmarker's Notes

    >She thinks about squeezing SecUnit's hand, but doesn't - her fingers are a little greasy from the fritters, and it wouldn't like that. "Thank you," she murmurs instead, wiping her hands on a cloth.
    >It shrugs, and sends her a clip of drone footage - it's the veranda back home, the lights from the kitchen glowing, the hammock swaying in a light breeze, and the stars sprinkled overhead. The timestamp is from the few nights ago.
    >She snorts and says, "Oh, absolutely." Yes, 100%, when she's finished with this she is going home and flopping on that hammock and she is not going to move or think for… oh, half an hour, minimum.

    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
