It has been brought to my attention that it's the 3rd today, so it's my birthday. Which means I'm one year closer to being able to legally drive! And probably closer to being able to pilot Green... although, the Princess hasn't said anything about a legal Lion piloting age. You'd think that'd be an important point to hit in the Paladin of Voltron introduction, right?

Am I looking into this too much?

Yeah, it sucks when people try to kill you.

[pidgewidgeon]

Yeah.

It could be worse though: said evil space dictator could actually focus on killing us. Instead it's all "Bring me Voltron!!", and he concocts a stupid scheme to catch us which always falls apart. Idiot.

[am_i_a_monster]

Is the idiot here? Or just in your past?

[pidgewidgeon]

Back home luckily. Otherwise the comms would be overrun with constant "I am Lord Zarkon, bring me the Head of Voltron. Insert evil monologue here" crap.

[am_i_a_monster]

He would be an idiot to announce himself like that. At least it will be easy to identify him if he does show up.

[pidgewidgeon]

You'd think there'd be an intelligence test before you could decide to take over the entire universe. Like, a basic requirement should be 'can plot way out of a paper bag' or 'plans don't flaws so obvious a small child can see it'. But nope.

[am_i_a_monster]

Maybe it's a good thing there isn't a test. I think my life would have been simpler if the dangers were obvious.

[ And she can tell she just stepped into something she probably shouldn't have. Her bad. ]

I... didn't think of that.

[am_i_a_monster]

I don't really know. I don't have experience with people trying to take over entire universes.

[pidgewidgeon]

They're a pain in the ass. And completely overrated.

[ Although... ]

I bet he's overcompensating because he's purple. And furry.

[am_i_a_monster]

I'm now picturing Barney trying to take over everything.

[pidgewidgeon]

What's a Barney? I'll let you know if it's close.

[am_i_a_monster]

Barney's a fictional character for children's entertainment. A purple, fuzzy dinosaur.

Zarkon's a Galra. Think humanoid alien with purple, fuzzy cat ears, glowing yellow eyes, and claws on the ends of their fingers.

Here wait, hold on a second. I'll doodle one and text it too you.

[ A few minutes later this appears. Only drawn more crappie because that is not a skill Pidge has. ]

[am_i_a_monster]

Definitely not like Barney.

And not human. Were there a lot of non-humans where you're from?
