Robot Roll Call

A blog about Pokemon, Mega Man, Transformers and other crap. I keep my blog SFW, but occasionally I might curse. Just sayin'.

Do you ever just stop and think:

“I really miss Steve Irwin”  ?

[live-convoy-blog]

Yes. Yes, I do. This man was one of my heroes - he wasn’t like most animal welfare activists who only focused on the cute and cuddly mammals and birds everyone likes. No, he wanted us to like and respect animals that are unjustifiably hated and feared, like snakes, crocs and sharks. He wanted us to respect and love all wild animals, no matter how “scary” they are. Hell, he was actually afraid of spiders, but he still wanted to teach people they were important. To him, every wild animal deserved to be loved, from the biggest whale to the smallest insect. People needed to know that. The more you learn about “scary” animals, they become less scary and more fascinating. It deeply saddens me that children today won’t grow up with this man teaching them about how amazing “scary” and “ugly” animals really are.

“Built for stealth and speed, these units were both feared and admired during the Last War. Their gracefully arched profile and long ears earned them the nickname “Anubot”. Efficient single unit snipers, they did not need a spotter as their secondary eyes and ear units were designed to measure wind, distance, earth curve and projectile arc while the primary eyes focused on their target. Their long cable bundle tails serve as a cat-like counterbalance and as a tool to interface with other machines. Quiet and reserved, they have not taken to their decommissioned life as easily as the Robodogman units they served with. Some still wander, trying to find their place in a new world….“

Do you know how many dogs I’ve met that get scared or anxious around men because in their previous home men hit them? A lot, and they are very protective of the women who have adopted them now.

Men who are violent towards women are often violent towards animals as well. They think we’re all chattel. If a man wants you to choose between your dog or cat or him, dump the guy. Those animals will love you for the rest of your life, loyal and true.

Actually, I have something to add.

The other day I saw a story where a woman was asking why her dogs had suddenly started growling at her boyfriend whenever he was in the same room as her son.

And my immediate thought was ‘that boyfriend has hurt the kid somehow.’

Spoilers: that was exactly the case.

Trust ur dogs when they say something is off.

The first time my sister came to visit, via plane, after I got my dog, pupper growled at her and wouldn’t go near her for the first day. Next visit was by car (two day drive)and pupper LOVED my sister. They snuggled and played and none of us could figure out why the change. We thought maybe the scent of my sisters cat had lingered on her clothes, making that first visit a rough one. Whereas when she came by car, the scent had had time to wear off. Well that was partially true…

Fast forward about six months when I went north to visit my family. My sister walked into my parents’ house and pupper ran to greet my sister. Stopped dead in her tracks and started growling and barking. Hackles raised, full protection mode. My sisters husband had just walked in behind her.

My precious puppy wanted NOTHING to do with him. She barked, growled, ran away, and sat between him and my sister. Y'all my dog had spent maybe a weekend a half around my sister but protected her like this was her flesh and blood.

Eventually, my sister filed for divorce on grounds of “Extreme and repeated mental, emotional, and sexual abuse.” Divorce was final in less than a month because her claims were substantiated.

Trust the dog, honey. They KNOW.

I’ve never owned dogs, but I used to work with horses (which are a lot like big dogs).

There was this one horse I worked with named Tonto. He was a doll. He followed me like a puppy, snuck treats out of my pocket, he was the sweetest thing. We were practically inseparable.

A guy I was considering dating came to visit me one day, and Tonto wanted NOTHING to do with him. Normally well behaved, he shoved himself between us and would NOT let this guy near me. He was stomping, acting really aggressive, and tried to bite the guy. This horse was practically dragging me back toward the barn. At that moment, despite being like, 17, I knew something was up, and ultimately things didn’t pan out for guy and me.

A year later I found out he had lied about his age (he said he was 18 but he was actually 27) he was arrested for sexually assaulting an 11 year old girl.

TRUST THE ANIMALS.

Animals are the best judges of character.

My standard response to everything.

[yourplayersaidwhat]

This took place in Roll20’s chat. One of my players is a Bladebound Magus, but she doesn’t want the others to know that yet.

After accidentally posting a spoiler that her sword’s name is Ebon, we get a huge list of posts all at once. No one knew what was happening. And then she says this:

“I posted spoilery thing by accident, copy pasted the bee movie script.”

We all lost it for at least a minute.

I saw the thing about being ridiculously over/underleveled, and in my group being underleveled by mistake is called "gargoyling", because of the one time I did not know how CR worked and accidentally sent too many gargoyles at the party.

I might be dating myself but whenever someone says “gargoyles” this is what I think of:

and if I was a low-level PC and saw a crew of these guys coming at me, I’d certainly skedaddle!

I miss this show.

It saddens me that, despite getting a toaster, a microscope and a biplane, Revenge of the Fallen’s toyline never gave us a version of this guy.
