Okay, my brain refuses to think about anything other than Murderbot, so I looked at every use of the word "friend[s]" in TMBD and... created some pie charts. Normal human activities.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some Thoughts™ I had while putting this together (under the cut):
In All Systems Red, Murderbot notes that the PresAux crew are all close friends (twice! and goes on to explain their internal relationships which I think is very cute). This is pretty much the only use of 'friends' in ASR, except for when Murderbot says that SecUnits can't be friends with each other.
It seems that this may be one of the first times Murderbot has ever really been around a group of friends before? Murderbot notes that this is not the norm for its contracts and admits that the fact that they are all friends and the way they interact with each other make it actually enjoy that contract (before!!!! the hostile attack, so it already enjoys this contract before they start seeing it as a person etc ghghhhh). [Inference: Friendship seems enjoyable.]
The first character that calls Murderbot its friend is ART in Artificial Condition. Murderbot immediately refutes this (and then goes on to call ART its friend to its clients for the rest of the book). [Inference: Maybe ART is Murderbot's friend. And maybe that is... agreeable]
Rogue Protocol has more than twice as many instances of the word 'friend' as any of the other novellas. Why? Miki. Friendship and its implications for non-humans are a central theme because Miki is friends with everyone. Murderbot initially scoffs at the notion that Miki and Miki's humans are friends. At the end of the book, after witnessing how desperately Don Abene tried to stop Miki from trying to save them, and her grief after its death, Murderbot has to admit that she had in fact been Miki's friend. [Inference: Humans can be friends with bots and can sincerely care about them]
In Exit Strategy, Murderbot tentatively uses the word "friends" for its humans for the first time (several times actually). It questions whether it can actually call them its friends or not and later realizes that it had been afraid what admitting that the humans are its friends would do to it. At the end of the book, Mensah tells Murderbot the PresAux crew are its friends, which is the first time a human has directly said that to it (at least on-page). [Inference: Humans can and want to be Murderbot's friends]
In Network Effect, Murderbot seems to be more habituated to the word 'friend', confidently calling ART and Ratthi its friends, like it is no longer just trying the concept on unsure if it fits. There are many instances in which other characters refer to MB as ART's friend or the other way around and Murderbot's humans refer to Murderbot as their friend several times. Generally, there seems to be less hesitancy, because yes, all of them are Murderbot's friends, why wouldn't they be. [Inference: SecUnits can have friends. This SecUnit has friends. They care about it a lot.]
Conclusion: The Murderbot Diaries tell the story of a construct that does not seem to consider the possibility of friendship for itself and is fine with that - until it accidentally starts caring a little too much and suddenly more and more people annex it as a friend (ew) to the point where it can no longer deny that this is happening and has to begrudgingly admit that yes, it has friends now and maybe that is actually not a bad thing.

"...Where did you get that bone, Marx?"
"From the Cooler Meta Knight. He said I could keep this in exchange for getting rid of the rest."
"Whose bone is it?"
"Dunno. Didn't ask. Doesn't taste like Adeleine's so I figure it's no one we know."
"Should I ask how you know what Adeleine's BONES taste like?"
"Magolor, I know what EVERYONE's bones taste like. It's part of their scent."
"How does that...? Never mind. So, what do mine taste like?"
"Charbroiled chili gumdrops marinated in apple cider vinegar."
"...What?"
"It's completely delicious!"

SanUso-ism aside, it’s really disheartening how much Sanji and Usopp have been separated post-timeskip. Their relationship was built up so well pre-timeskip as characters that support and understand each other, fighting and laughing as good friends do. They spent so much time being motivated by each other’s words, actions, or mere existence. Wanting to protect each other and live up to each other’s expectations are huge motivations that drive important moments in the story (Alabasta, Skypeia, Water 7/Enies Lobby, and Sabaody in particular).
To go from that—these two being practically inseparable and integral to each other’s growth, to them barely even being in the same place at the same time feels like a betrayal of their friendship, if I want to be dramatic (I do).
I know post-ts focused more on the plot and moving the story along, but it really sucks that important Straw Hat relationships don’t seem to have any weight besides them being loyal crewmates. It’s undeniable that Sanji and Usopp have a special connection, so right now it all feels… dissatisfying. Like something is missing.
I’m just really holding out for a moment on Elbaf where Usopp protects Sanji and the rest of the crew. A speech that Usopp gives Sanji to re-iterate how important they are to each other and how they constantly, constantly push each other to do better. To feel stronger.

I'm so tired of sites self-destructing, PLEASE I am begging there to be just ONE art site that isn't a flaming pile of shit that could go down at any moment
I'm not leaving until the ship goes down, but I would like to hear potential places where people are also posting art
Personally I'm most active on Kofi and Bluesky because these are the only sites that I'm sure won't come crashing down anytime soon but god it's so tiring to have to keep rebuilding because everything turns to shit over the dumbest, most lack-of-common-decency bullshit from people who should never be in power to begin with
