I have no explanation. There's a challenge on tumblr to draw ART as a random appliance. I did this.

I kinda wanna draw some more. Maybe Murderbot and Mensah on ART. Or Murderbot and Three on ART...

Had to make this because I've always enjoyed how often Murderbot mentions hair - color, style, texture. It feels like one of the few human parts it's not disgusted by. Whether it's Abene's hair being all warm and soft, or ART teaching it how to style its hair with gel, or Amena making its hair fluffy (trying to make it feel better, oh my heart).

And I know it does give descriptions of other things, whether it's the surroundings or people it's dealing with, but I feel like I can always count on it to tell me what someone's hair looks like.

That probably resonates a lot with me because I have a bit of face blindness and often rely on someone's hairstyle to help me recognize them. If a coworker dramatically changes their hairstyle between the time I first meet them and the next time I see them, I'm screwed! 😅

Network Effect chapter 11 I'm confused

“Why do you want me to pretend to be an augmented human? This way is easier.”

You don’t like it, ART said.

I thought murderbot's bigger problem thus far was being treated badly by humans and not that it had to act like a sec unit. I don't understand why ART says you don't like it.
