Nos salió adivino Disney (⁠●⁠_⁠_⁠●⁠)

We got a Disney fortune teller (⁠●⁠_⁠_⁠●⁠)

i just realized that since big hero 6 takes place in 2032, if it was real hiro's parents just recently died or would soon because they died when he was 3 and he would be turning 4 in 2022

let's not think about the 2019-2022 pandemic going on

let's not think about how such a pandemic causing his parents' death would make Tadashi grow up to want to provide better free universal healthcare and lead him to majoring in engineering to create a "personal healthcare companion"

Additionally: Robots are relatively bad disease vectors, so can switch between patients without infecting new people (courtesy of @mycomancy)

let's not think about how Cass relies on her cafe to provide for her family and that maybe she was so unwilling to close in Baymax! was because there was a time when it had to be closed and it was difficult to take care of a 3 year old and 10 year old

let's not think about how they are canonically a low-income partially poc family (reasoning: hiro received a full grant instead of full scholarship (honestly he probably got both and used the scholarship money for his projects); grants are for low income students.)

Just got home from day one of a 2 day robotics comp, I'm tired, but feeling a little insane so here's Feral's sleepy thoughts;

-Saw a robotics shirt that said "robotics mom" Aunt Cass would wear that. Like, she knows virtually nothing of how robots work, but she's wearing it to support Tadashi and Hiro's interests.

-Saw another shirt that said "Weird teachers build character" someone at SFIT would wear that.

-Did you know robots get their name from the word robotník? It's a word used in several languages, in Polish it means "worker" and Czech it means "slave/forced worker." It comes from the book "R.U.R." ("Rossum's Universal Robots") in which robots in the modern sense were first imagined as mechanical workers.

-My friend asked in the middle of a convo if I was Autistic after rambling about the differences and connections of Punk, Goth, Emo, and Scene cultures while I was eating a salad.

-Same friend started agonizing after everyone else made him take a colorblind test and him horribly failing.

-Why is FIRST robotics called that?????

Night y'all, I need to go to bed before I get sick.
