i posted that out-of-context clip of michelle agresti saying maxwell "would definitely be a chaser" because i think it's kinda darkly funny, but... i actually kind of do believe that? in a certain capacity. even just socially, maxwell is interested in hera because she's an AI. she's not interested in getting to know hera, the regular woman with regular interests and desires; she's interested in getting to know how hera, mother program of the u.s.s. hephaestus, operates. that isn't to say she isn't interested in hera's personality at all, as a blanket statement, but i am saying that she wouldn't be interested if not for the initial, crucial fact of hera being an AI. that's it. and i know it's probably controversial to say, but i can never personally see maxwell as a trans woman because she is very aware that she's seen as a bright, bubbly young woman - and granted a certain assumption of innocence based on that, in spite of other potential red flags - and she actively uses that to her strategic advantage. hera empathizes with maxwell and believes they share a comradery that maxwell does not return. even before the worst of it - maxwell never respects hera's privacy, and frames her self-defense precautions in a way that's meant to make the others assume she's a danger. there's something about who is granted that assumption of innocence, whose ability to defend herself the same as anyone else is perceived as an act of aggression, that really puts the final nail in the coffin for me.

I love you robots and artificial intelligence with mental illness. I love you repression being depicted as literally deleting archived data to preserve functionality. I love you anxiety attacks being depicted as a system crashing virus. I love you ptsd being depicted as an annoying pop-up. I love you anxiety disorder being depicted as running thousands of simulations and projected outcomes. I love you artificial beings being shown to be human via their own artificiality.
