Also my in class assignments for week 1, the task was to compose these horizontal screenshots into square 2-tone comps

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ

The fics!

NIGHTINGALE

Some art I made earlier this month based on an AUpril discussion in the muderbot discord! We were talking about how Murderbot's visualization of itself in the feed might have changed over time. @elexuscal suggested the circle-within-a-circle to evoke a helmeted SecUnit as its original feedsona, and that Murderbot might have removed the company branding and gone from red to black when it hacked its governor module. These were also inspired by @broken-risk-assessment-module's super cool module feedsonas (for risk assessment, threat assessment, education, and governor). I tried to simplify her designs into shapes that would evoke the more personified versions that they might evolve into over time. (It would be fun to explore more of the steps in between, as murderbot slowly begins to visualize itself more and more like a person! But these drawings took longer than I expected and I didn't get to it. Maybe someday I'll come back to them!)

"Yay! Veggies. In space! All grown by yours truly—! "They really were not." "Shush! I'm in desperate need of hope and you're not giving me any."

I have a real issue with people who are super harsh on Buffy Summers for her behaviour in s7 because it so often feels like they ignore all the context of the last six seasons of her life. I'm not saying every decision she makes in season 7 is amazing and the right way to go, but this is also a girl who has routinely had her own agency stripped from her.

She didn't ask to be the slayer, the only girl in all the world. That was forced upon her. Sure she mumbled and grumbled about it, but ultimately she took up that mantle and did a pretty bang up job.

Faith stole her body, Angel took away one of her memories, Giles briefly took away her powers, the gang often discussed things about her life behind her back thinking they were helping. She chose to die to save not only the world but Dawn, the person who represents her innocence and childhood. She actively decided that it was her time and in making that sacrifice she was saving something important. Her friends took that away from her too, bringing her back. And again I'm not saying they all did the wrong thing when they made those choices for Buffy or about Buffy (except Faith, that was bad), but I do think it's important when viewing some of her choices in season 7 to remember that this is a woman who has routinely had her agency taken away from her by people that she trusts. I personally think that provides a lot of context for why she acts the way she does with the potentials and with the Scoobs.

I just always see these takes about how she's such a bitch in season 7 and I get lost because it feels like a lot of the fandom refuses to see Buffy as a character who has had seven seasons of trauma all caused by the fact that she was chosen. Like is it really a shock she feels throwing the potentials in the deep end might actually help them survive? That's what happened to her. Is it a surprise that Giles tells her she needs to make decisions like a General and she actually does?

Yes I just watched Empty Places and I have a lot of thoughts
