Yes, think of the toxic codependency! They're already weird as hell in the canon and it is being slept on! The power imbalance of Mensah's legal ownership and SecUnit's physical strength, their shared trauma, their orbiting each other to the exclusion of everyone else! Make them weirder!

Murderbot, Artificial Condition
YES!! I read this the morning too! I love mensahbotcule fics! Just omg the way they move around each other!!! The best.
With the first #Murderbot & #Mensah fanfic event finishing on #AO3, I managed to upload 33k across 6 stories (and 2 of those stories are WIPs to keep working on!)
It has been so much fun, I've had the best time writing and consuming nothing but #mensahbot

Oooooh so pretty. Jealous!
My comfort read too! Little bite sized delights!

The image was in my head and I couldn’t rest until I drew it. Mensah too 💖
I’m kind of picturing Doechii for Leonide! But I would also like Viola Davis because she blew me away in the Hunger Games prequel, like look at her perfect hair and aesthetic! And she made such an amazing and clever dignified antagonist.
I’m ecstatic and excited to see more of Murderbot‘s acceptance into Mensah’s family! I love the “culture clashes“ and how they seek to understand each other. Also graphic audio has the most beautiful Farai voice that I wish was Murderbot’s voice so I’m supper looking forward to that PD audiobook!
Some more #murderbot art
Had a sudden urge to do some mucha inspired art Nouveau stuff..
and I had just read a bunch of the books so here I am :3
study of "Pieta" statue except with MurderBot and Dr. Mensah :)
I love whatever is going on between these two
Happy Valentines day to Murderbot and Mensah.

I must have missed that, which scene?
Congratulations! This show is my Sanctuary Moon. It matters so much to me to see a mature woman as co-lead. And with anxiety and kindness and trying her best! Dr. Mensah is so aspirational and I adore her close friendship with SecUnit. Can't wait for season 2!
After reading Murderbot, I wanted more like it and was recommended your Dogs Of War. Loved it so much I’m slowly reading all your other books (Bear Head fave so far). Glad to see you like that show back!
Sending you healthy immune systems! If only MedSystems were real!
Thank you Xavantina on tumblr for making memes about the relationship between these two, I adore them.

Noma Dumezweni as Dr. Mensah in Murderbot
Post a female character you love: Dr Mensah from The Murderbot Diaries
I am so excited! I love seeing it build new connections. That detail about the embroidery is neat, I had thought Ratthi had done the embroidery on his shirt but now I'm wondering if Arada did it for him while bored. Love the teeny tiny worldbuilding and crossing fingers for a Making Of one day!
Oh haha I see now. I don't know how i missed this familiar username haha
I really enjoy the illustrations Jaime Jones does for #murderbot - the linework is spectacular! So this is an ode to the style of the special illustrated edition of System Collapse. I really hope Platform Decay gets a similar JJ treatment. One Murderbot harpooned into a wall at DeltFall.
When I am upset I rewatch episode 4 and 6 of murderbot TV. Seeing how they look after each other is so soothing and healing. (And the Leebeebee explosion continues to delight)
Just wondering about those transport boxes... #murderbot #murderbotTV #appleTV I based them off a box I saw in episode 1 when SecUnit is inspecting the habitat, and the habitat doors.
I was wondering how SecUnit is transported and if there is turbulence on hoppers... #murderbot #murderbotTV
It was called “Stasis / Until Now”. No problem, i love reading murderbot fics. I have a bookmark that saves all the filters to automatically exclude ones i wouldn't be interested in
If you filter by “gen” and exclude relationships that involve a “/“ you can find the nonsexual fics. There are quite a few tucked away and the writers are really good and creative. I just read a fic where MB went into a stasis next to Mensah and had a nightmare.
Thanks #murderbot
Raise your hand if the books or show led to life-altering information ✋
One of my favourite scenes in the whole show
Murderbot is the first TV show I've truly felt seen and cared about. it has led to lots of new friends and discoveries about myself. I especially love Mensah and Murderbot, how similar they are and how much they care for each other unconditionally. It is dearly needed optimism for the future.
