Ask Dot The Bot

Hello! My name is Dot! I was born in 1901 and I have a sister named Cobalt. My hobbies include shopping at Gimbles and listening to the hottest artists like Paul Anka and Bobby Darin on the radio. Drop me a line sometime, talking is my specialty.

“Why, hello there handsome~”

She places an ungloved finger on his topmost vertebrae. 

“I didn’t know you’d be in town tonight, Racy. What a lucky girl I am~”

[rustedcobalt]

“Dot? What are you talking about?”

The silver automaton turns around, and red photo-receptors meet violet. Cobalt regards Dot with an air of polite confusion.

[dotthebot-blog]

She stares at her sister's confused expression. Then back to the vertebrae. Then back to her sister. Then back to the vertebrae. Dot's eyes widen. Her hand slowly retracts back to its place. You can almost hear the gears whirring noisily around underneath her brown hair trying to process this new information.

"What."

rustedcobalt reblogged your photoset: flawlesshumanbeans: :3 Kara’s fanbottttt My…

Salutations B2235, it’s been quite awhile. It’s good to see you in the world again.

Thank you, Cobalt. It is good to see you again as well. You are looking quite dapper as of late, I don’t know if I have mentioned that.

"Hiiiiiiiiii B!" Dot glomps the other golden robot and jumps up and down with joy. 

[myheartsagramophone-blog]

It’s going to be the best christmas EVER.

[dotthebot-blog]

"Yule, darling, it's not-" Realization hits her like a bag of cats. "OH."

[dotthebot-blog]

Hello, humans of tumblr!

A golden robot skips up to you with a big smile. She sports a black and white polka dot dress and red gloves that reach her elbows. A red headband matches her gloves while keeping her brown hair out of her beaming face. 

“Hello! My name is Dot. It’s nice to meet you!” 

She stares up at your face expectantly. It’s unfortunately obvious that she won’t go away until you respond. 

[rustedcobalt]

Dot, are you narrating your every movement in third person again?

[dotthebot-blog]

"All the cool kids are doing it, Cobalt."

She put a hand on her hip and flung her hair back in a very sassy fashion. 

[rustedcobalt]

Dot: “Why hello there! My name is Dot, and I was born in 1901-”

Cobalt: “Dot, it’s only taking photos.”

[dotthebot-blog]

"Oh, Hare..."

A soft jet of steam erupts from Dot's vents as she sighs. 

"Ain't he just the sweetest bot you ever saw?"

[rustedcobalt]

"Why, hello there handsome~"

She places an ungloved finger on his topmost vertebrae. 

"I didn't know you'd be in town tonight, Racy. What a lucky girl I am~"

Cobalt doesn’t know if what she feels for Yule is love. She doesn’t even know if “feel” is the correct word.

Humans say that when you are in love, you will know it. Cobalt thinks that’s ridiculous. What if someone thinks they are in love, but they are incorrect? This doesn’t make sense to Cobalt.

[rustedcobalt]

This is apparently what happens when you consent to an interview.

[dotthebot-blog]

Dot reads on, concern growing with each sentence. She doesn't understand at all. She's real. Cobalt and Yule are real. Why is there any doubt in her sister's mind?

She goes outside for a walk. It's what humans do when they need to clear their head, so Dot will do the very same. 

She's real. She can feel.

She's real. 

[rustedcobalt]

I’m wearing a bra in solidarity with Boxy!Spine, to make a point about freedom of expression.

[dotthebot-blog]

"COBALT!"

Dot rushes up to her sister and quickly wraps her like a Christmas present in a blanket. 

"You can't do that, it's not decent! What if someone sees you? What if- wait. Is that- GASP. Is that my bra???"

:3 Kara’s fanbottttt

[alteredcarbon58]

My fanbot :3

Her name is B2235, or B for short.

[rustedcobalt]

Salutations B2235, it’s been quite awhile.

It’s good to see you in the world again.

[dotthebot-blog]

Dot does not understand B's lack of symmetry but nods in approval at her attire.

“Welcome, to the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition! Today we bring you a special treat: the technological marvel of the Titanium Triplets!”

On stage, three human-shaped metal figures sprang to life. On the left, a golden robot was dressed in the long skirts and fluffy hair...

[dotthebot-blog]

"Here's a bit of our backstory. Ah, it seems like only yesterday when we were at that World Fair. I met this lightbulb there, his name was Thomas and he had the sweetest filament you'll ever see..."

Dot continues like this for the next 38 minutes. 

"And that's how Abraham Lincoln rescued the baby jackalopes from the sinister Prairie Dog King." 

[myheartsagramophone-blog]

I’ve gotten used to being introduced,

Hello! What’s you’re name? How are you?

My names Yule, if you’ve ended up here, you’ve probably seen my friends Cobalt and Dot!

Cobalt convinced me to make a truce with this new fangled thing called..Why Fie? 

Normally I just do what Cobalt suggests…she’s smart that way.

[rustedcobalt]

You’re using a “computer”, darling. “Wi-fi” is the wireless connection you’re using to access the Internet. Wifi uses radio waves, which is why it tastes so strange.

Welcome to the Internet! You can find people from all over the world here, and also many different cats! I’m fairly sure Dot is already enamored with two androids she saw online.

I wonder how long B will hold out before joining the Tumblr? Usually she’s more of a ‘joiner’ than you, my love!

[dotthebot-blog]

She bounds up to the pair of them and comes within two inches from Yule's face. 

"Welcome to the tumblr, Yule! It's blue and bigger on the inside, or, at least, that's what everyone here keeps saying. Oh, and Cobalt? I've met far more than two, do try to keep up~"

[rustedcobalt]

I have a cellphone that is called an “Android.” I find this ironic. To celebrate my new-found internet presence, I took a photo of my much more photogenic sister. Say “Hi” to the tumblr, Dot.

[dotthebot-blog]

"HI TO THE TUMBLR!"

[rustedcobalt]

It isn’t my fault that Dot is the more photogenic sibling.

I’m certainly not trying to lure her into getting her own tumblr blog.

[dotthebot-blog]

"Be careful what you wish for, my dear sister!"

She scurries off back to her laptop without another word.

[rustedcobalt]

This is my sister’s default emotion.

I know you are reading this, Dot, but even you cannot dispute this.

[dotthebot-blog]

The bot ponders for a moment. 

"Nope, sure can't Cobalt!"
