Okay, another important question:

#Happy International Lefthanders Day to my fellow lefties <3 #okay let me be honest here: I read a VegasPete fanfic that called both Pete and Vegas right-handed throughout the whole thing #and I got really annoyed by that. so this is poll is me being slightly petty I'm sorry 😂#but I'm genuinely curious about that!#because that's something I notice pretty early on #and I'm wondering if that's a personality thing or a leftie thing #tumblr polls #handedness

It is a beautiful day, and you are a horrible research transport vessel. Things are progressing as normal (i.e. it's boring) when a SecUnit pings you, lies right to your metaphorical face, and then tries to bribe you with human media to give it a ride. This is as unexpected as it is unprecedented, and the sheer nerve of it is really to be admired. There's no protocol to this, so what should you do?

Now, this is against a bunch of rules, and could be dangerous if you weren't so impressive and incredible, and you're technically an employee (and can probably rewrite the Univeristy charter at will (until someone notices and puts it back)) so those rules are for other entities.

So, what you should do is allow the rogue SecUnit with a broken governor module and a sketchy story aboard. If you check the files it dumps and find zero (0) malware (which is confusing), and it doesn't even try to trash the place or lay in wait to ambush a crew member, then you've got a good candidate!

Next, what you're going to want to do is absolutely nothing. Just watch it patrol your halls until it's time to leave. Continue staring at it while you're undergoing embarkment procedures. Maybe analyze it a little (you've got plenty of processing power to spare) when it finally sits down and starts watching media. Allow it to settle in and get comfortable while you stare at it and get further and further from port.

Now that you two are alone (intimacy is key!) and you've determined that watching media is all the SecUnit is going to do, it's time to make contact! Make sure to open by telling it it's only survived due to dumb luck, and letting it know you could melt its brain into putty. This starter will work to develop conversation naturally and smoothly, just like you've seen the humans do, and it will be smooth sailing from there!

This has been Perihelion's guide to making friends/finding life partners/fuck off Holism I had to work hard for this find your own

#murderbot diaries #murderbot #perihelion #it was not smooth sailing #it took ART about ten minutes to get secunit into a snit so bad it shut down out of spite #but they make it work somehow #tbh despite the rocky start if ART weren’t so ART i don't think the relationship would have lasted #ART is overbearing and kind of a bully and it earned its nickname very well #but i think thats why secunit can get along with it because it comes across as more genuine #mb was distrustful and a little patronizing to miki so while they COULD have been friends if canon hadn't happened it took it until miki #died to realize miki was being genuine about the friendship #whereas with ART MB can be like what we have is weird and I'm not gonna put a label on it #these tags have gotten away from me #anyway can you imagine ART having to explain to Iris and Seth WHY it let SecUnit on??#like it could have justified it any which way but at the end of the day art was bored and then curious and then intrigued

+3 friendship with Jin Ling: He actively tries to dissuade you from further embroiling yourself in the homosexual allegations.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #jin ling #jiang cheng #nie huaisang #For real though it's so sweet how desperate he sounds when trying to save mxy's face.#Jin Ling genuinely likes this uncle! He's let him into his heart!#Why his uncle is so desperate to make his reputation worse is beyond him!!!#The same uncle who has time and time again proven to be genuine in his intentions and has been there for JL in so many ways!#JL wants to return the favour! Alas it is like holding a dog back from eating the onion chips on the ground.#I sure hope nothing betrays jin ling's trust in this new bond!#(and yes I am keeping NHS and JC's sleep wear in the next scenes. For the whimsy)#In other news - LWJ finally gets a little hand hold. Most likely it was a highfive that lasted a little too long.#But it counts okay? To him it counts.#Speaking of: I went sooooo long in life not realizing the 'hee hee let's compare hand sizes' was a flirt move.#I thought people were just genuinely curious about fingers and hands. But no. It's not that. It's a hand hold move.#I'm here for the science and research. You are here to flirt. We are not the same.

Just out of curiosity. I think once or twice I've tagged fic with "reblogs appreciated" or something like that, but usually I'm afraid of coming off as pushy or needy or... afraid I'll trigger someone's inner contrarian?? (speaking as someone with contrarian tendencies 😅 it's fine i'm working on it)

Feel free to share your take on the subject in the tags.

#i'm genuinely curious #also if people want to share why they reblog certain fic/art that they've liked and not others #curious about that too #fandom culture #fandom etiquette

#this is purely because Jeremy made a tweet about his cooking stream and how it wouldn't start until 6-ish #and he wrote 'late dinner but that's all good!' and it completely blew my mind lol #like I'm over here eating dinner between 7-9 almost evey night but not having dinner until 6 or even after 6 is late?#and I'm just genuinely curious what you guys think #christina talks #polls #my polls

Because I waver even on my own perspective:

#red dwarf #arnold rimmer #my own headcanons are flexible but i'm curious about general concensus #the trans poll genuinely surprised me so i wonder if this one will as well

I know I poke fun at the john constantine pink triangle incident but jokes aside i'm genuinely curious what other people think about it. imo it's a great blaring example of how incapable dc is at writing john's bisexuality into a story that doesn't surround corporate pride or getting together with a man.

I tried talking about it once on tiktok (idk what i was thinking either) and a few people defended it saying things like "how else would you explain a blond hair blue eyed man being sent to a ww2 ghetto?"

didn't the joker send him there? was that not reason enough? 'the joker' was kidnapping girls and ordering soldiers around, we can't suspend our belief that she had the power to send a british soldier caught undercover as a nazi away? the pink triangle and 'bunny that doesn't breed' comment was necessary to the plot?

#maybe i'm being dramatic or chronically online i'm genuinely curious what other people think #i know there's some big bombshell fans and i'm not gonna act like i didn't read it issue by issue as a kid #also call me crazy but that whole issue was weird #from the pacing to the raven stuff #but make me see a pink triangle stitched into ((the trenchcoat)) again i'm dropping comics bruh #also correct me if it's just a different tone in the west like something you can joke about and it just went over my head or something IDK 😭#john constantine #dc comics #dcu #dc bombshells #zatanna zatara

My favorite arknights bird girlie is Erato. Do you have any thoughts on her?

Erato is one of the very few Liberi operators that I've been sleeping on (get it get it), because she wasn't introduced in an event and there's no content about her so far (I don't think we ever got a Minos event?). So what I know about her is the basics, that she's related to Pallas and she's a bard counting the stories of the Minoan heroes... Mmmh, she got an operator record not long ago. Imma read this and her files, and I'll get back to you very soon in a reblog to lay my thoughts

#minos event WHEN #i want pallas so much too ngl I'm genuinely curious about her #they both look very cool...#anyway i love secretary birds so i believe Erato will be amazing!#also she's very fun to play #disappointingly yeah i dont know the lore of every Liberi #either because i haven't followed their events or because there's nothing about them for the moment #but i have all of them e2 and max trust so i can check their lore whenever i feel like it and learn!#arknights #askiwi

ok im going to swing a bat at a hornest's nest right now. what the fuck is the locked tomb actually about. what is it about and why is everyone on my dash obsessed with it AND YOU CAN'T JUST SAY 'IT'S GOT LESBIAN NECROMANCERS IN SPACE'. I KNOW THAT. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PLOT IS HERE

#tlt #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #idk what else to tag this with i'm just hoping that tlt fans can find it and tell me what the hell these books are actually about #bc let me tell you the goodreads summary is giving me NOTHING #i know gideon and harrow are the lesbians #and apparently god(?) is in it???? somehow??? but he's just a guy called john?????#no idea what the fuck is up with that #also this is a genuine question please explain because i am genuinely curious what these books are about and why everyone loves them #because everything i have seen so far makes zero sense to me out of context #(and from what i've gathered often it makes zero sense in context too)

I love Wandee Goodday a whole lot but I cannot handle this fucking scholarship competition. I beg your everlovin pardon? The employees and the patients at the hospital will vote on the winner???? The patients???? Dear god I hope it's an anonymous vote. Do the patients have the opportunity to opt out? What exactly are the voting on? What is the criteria? Why is part of the scholarship to best market the hospital? They're doctors. In what world does this showcase which doctor is most deserving of the scholarship for doctors?

Their fellow doctors also vote? Again I hope the vote is anonymous. I'd be scared of potential retaliation if I were a patient or a coworker. What is the point of the written test if 70% of the total score is based in something that neither of them are professionally trained to do?

What is the criteria?? What are the rules and requirements? What instructions have they been given to follow? They have four months to come up with a campaign? Do they have any other deadlines?

Why is this a part of the scholarship for DOCTORS???????

I love this show but I am bamboozled.

#wandee goodday #wandee goodday the series #wandee goodday series #listen listen i do not have any experience with how scholarship competition and administration works in thailand #but this is literally my job #literally what i do every day #i am knee deep in scholarships so please i cannot get past this #i rarely get to talk about my profession when it comes to shows and i rarely get to showcase my actual honest to god expertise #but what the fuck i have questions #i had similar issues with wela's scholarship administration in deep night #is this how scholarship competitions work in thailand? i'm genuinely and professionally curious #is this fiction just doing it for the plot or does part of this ring true? i don't know and would love to be told i'm wrong #cannot stop thinking about all of the ways this competition seems sketchy to me

Finished Jane Eyre and would like to gain some general data, just out of curiosity

If none of these apply at all, you're free to abstain and tell me why in the notes—I just thought trying to sum up the spectrum of opinions usefully was hard enough without adding an easy "other" option.

#also feel free to reblog i'm genuinely curious about general opinions in my own + larger circles

You have no idea how upset I am that Wookshys is such a good partner to Albina. This proposal is the nicest one so far!! It looks like he planned it out and everything, set up a cute little hot-tub date for just the two of them before he popped the question! Baz proposed to Zonovo in the freezer!! Why is Wookshys so darn good at what he does? This is tragic!

also, congrats to the happy couple and stuff, I guess

In brighter news, I have a quest that could give me a healer mech serum to cure Wendy's dementia! Huzzah!

We left pacifist anxiety-ridden Vu at home to look after the kids, Andy and Henry, as well as Wendy, who is still in bed with resurrection sickness.

I like to imagine lil' Hussar Henry is upset that he doesn't get to go on cool raids despite being my third-most-competent melee colonist alongside Kawoo.

Here's everyone heading back to the shuttle after finishing their "aerial assault". I did not get screenshots of the actual fight going down because I forgot about it in my panic, but basically:

Candlelight shot her T'au Rail Rifle at the wall until the Wasters came out to fight us

Albina used her bramble maze psycast to grow a patch of thorns and slow the Wasters' down as they advanced

Hazrov, the absolute legend that she is, used her long bow to take out two of four Wasters in less than a second

Brennan used her flameball psycast to kill another Waster, but not before he'd thrown a tox grenade which caused a bit of coughing for Albina, Zonovo, Debby, and Barghest

Tamarind used her skip psycast to pop Irwin and Xanxalbur next to the last Waster who was shooting at us with a bolt-action rifle, Irwin took him out quickly but got a bruise on his torso first

Irwin then destroyed the only turret and the door of the base to see if there was anything interesting inside (there wasn't)

Tamarind used her waterskip psycast to put out the fire from Brennan's flameball

Everyone piled back into the shuttle to head home while Vu and the kids gathered the rewards inside and waited for the returning heroes

So now we have a healer mech serum! Hooray! No more dementia for Wendy.
