An opening slide of a presentation, with a red top and a white bottom half.
Title: the murderbot diaries
Subtitle: and why you should read them

/end ID

A slide deck with a white background, with a red title and rest of the text in grey.
Title: What are they?
Text:
A book series by Martha Wells

- 5 novellas, 2 short stories, 1 novel
- Nebula and Hugo award winning
-New novel coming out in Nov 2023!

On the right hand side are two images of book covers. One shows an imposing figure in white power armour, a gun slung on its back, with symmetrical moons in the background above it.

Positioned to overlap with the first image, the second image also shows a bust in power-armour. However, the armour is being pulled off/peeled away, revealing a human-like figure beneath. It is captioned 'The Murderbot Diaries' and has other Japanese text.

/end ID

A slide with a white background, red title text, and grey body text. It read:
Title: What are they?
Text:
- About a half-robot, half-human that was made to be a corporate cop-for-hire
-Hacked its own brain and went rogue
-Uses its freedom to watch trashy soap operas
- Hates Emotions
- Unfortunately has a lot of them regardless

There is an illustrated image on the left. It is depicted in stark shades of pink and white. Figures are huddled around a bright white doorway; we see them from behind. One figure has been shot in the back, but does not seem affected. Instead, it looks back over its shoulder, glaring at the figure who shot the gun, still aiming the weapon at it. /end ID.

A white slide with red title text and black body copy.
Title: The Plot
Text: -Secretly rogue ‘SecurityUnit’ rescues a team of scientists
-Scientist nerds adopt it
-Grapple with their complicity in slavery
-Murderbot sets off on journey of self-discovery
-Fights corporate injustice
-What’s its relation to humanity vs. robots?

On the right, slightly transparent and overlapping with the text, is a sketchy drawing of a person lounging, one arm slung over a red backing. The person has afro features, cybernetic lines, and a bored expression. It is wearing a t-shirt with three battery symbols and the letters 'AAA'. The three batteries are colored to match the agender, asexual, and aromantic flags.

/end ID

A white slide with a red title and black body text.
Title: Main themes?
Body text:
-Fuck capitalism
-The droids from Star Wars are messed up, actually
-The power of media
- Found family
-Recovery from trauma

On the left side is a vivid digital illustration. It depicts a person with a visibly cybernetic body sitting on a hotel bed. In the background we can see a window with a sci-fi landscape of skyscrapers and flying cards. The person is staring up as a HUGE screen depicting a television scene of four people having a conversation around a desk.

A white slide with a red title and black text.
Title: Key Characters: Murderbot
Text:
-Yes that’s its name. It named itself.
-Snarky asshole
-Veritable badass
-Has skin and not thrilled about it
-Claims it hates humans
-Constantly protects humans anyway
-Major Sanctuary Moon fangirl (girl has been crossed out and replaced with 'bot')

On the left is an image of a person leaping off the head of a large, four-armed robot, shooting a bright beam from its arm to burn through one of the robot's arms. /end ID

A white slide with red title text and black body text.
Title: Key Characters: Dr. Mensah
Text:
-Planetary admin/president of space-future communist society
-Scientist
-Black, older queer lady
-Calm, caring leader
-Dealing with TraumaTM
-Murderbot’s “favourite human”
-Trying to live up to its expectations

There are two images, one on the right, one on a left, done in different artistic styles. Both show a middle-aged woman with black skin and short natural white hair.

In the image on the right, the woman is in power armour, her hand bleeding and held to her chest. She looks upset and angry. In the image of her left, we only see her from the shoulders up. She is in a professional white shirt, wearing dangly yellow earrings, and smiling slightly. /end ID]

A white slide with red title text and black body text.

Title: Key Characters: ART [Spaceship Emoji]
Text:
-Stands for ‘Asshole Research Transport’
-Basically flying lab+school combo
-Also secret anti-corporate agent
-Basically pokes Murderbot cuz it was interesting
-Decides to help it because it’s bored
-Quickly becomes MB’s BBFF*
-(*Best Bot Friend Forever)

On the right hand side is an image captioned 'MB Interfacing With ART's Brain'. It shows a dark skinned person in a yellow hoodie, Murderbot. From the neck up it looks as though they have become submerged in a floating wave of light, depicting ART's 'feed' in an abstract way. Murderbot's eyes and electronic augments are glowing blue. /end ID]

A white slide with a red title text and black main text.
Title: Key Characters: also way more
Text:
- Seriously Murderbot collects new friends every book
- Keeps claiming it has no friends
- Very rewarding to watch it slowly realise it is loved and cared for

There are four images arrayed around the text. From left to right they are:

- The face of a young-ish looking man with brown skin, floppy brown hair, and an earring. He is smiling. It is captioned 'Dr. Ratthi'

- A clay figure showing an orange helmet with an opaque black faceplate. It is captioned 'SecUnit 3'

- The face of a pale man with black hair, lit up by the face of a screen he is looking at intently. He has electronic circuitry on his cheek and temple, and one eye glows faintly yellow. He has a beard and his hand is held to his mouth. It is captioned 'Dr. Gurathin'.

- A cartoony drawing of a short Asian woman, her hair pulled up in a pony tail. Her fists are balled and she looks mid-rant. It is labeled 'Pin-Lee'.

- A humanoid robot with a pink carapace, stood in an excited pose, limbs splayed out. It has little wing shapes where human ears would be. While it has no mouth, its eyes show a bright expression of excitement. It is labeled 'Miki'.

/end ID.

A white slide with a red heading and black body text. The final line is also in red.
Title: check them out
Text
- action
-emotions
-funny
aro-ace agender lead
-casual queerness
- wow cool robots

FIND THEM AT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY AND/OR BOOKSHOP

On the left is a book cover for a book titled 'Systems Collapse'. Other text reads:
Martha Wells
Hugo and Nebula Award Winning Series
The Murderbot Diaries
The New York Time Best Selling Series

It shows a figure in power armour from behind. It is crouched and staring up at an ominious, inhuman robot looming in the distance. The ground is rocky and covered with spiky vegetations with yellow flowers.

On the right is an image of a person being seen from the back, face slightly turned to the camera. The person is smiling. It has brown skin and darker brown hair. Its neck has a USB slot in it. It is stretching out to show off its long-sleeved shirt, which is pinky-purple, shows a futuristic city-scape of cities on pillars in the clouds. The shirt says 'The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon'. /end ID.

Patron Requests I Drew Last Year During A Christmas Stream!I Completely Missed Uploading Them Here During

Patron Requests I drew last year during a Christmas Stream! I completely missed uploading them here during the holidays season, so I'm DOING IT NOW!

Featuring Dusk wearing a Christmas sweater, Jenna REFUSING a dumb Christmas sweater, Nugget being squished by a sweater AND Nugget happily sitting on Guzma's Ariados. OH and an Onyx. We wondered if a baby Onyx would start out as just a HEAD and it gains more rocks the older it gets...

When I'm not sICK or super busy, I occasionally do exclusive Livestreams on my Discord server where I talk with all my Patrons! You can get access to the server by joining my Patreon!
