#stardroid pluto

🐾- animal related head canon

i feel like canon gives pluto plenty of kitty-like characteristics already. but i see him as having extremely alert senses. the sensations he detects through his fur helps him predict enemy movements and react on the spot. it's useful in battle but unfortunately it also keeps him on edge. warmer temperatures dull his senses a little, so he goes to warm places to relax.

I keep forgetting uploading art is a thing you can do here

Follow up does anyone else think they made him cat themed because his name kind of sounds like a pun on purr+pluto in its Japanese pronunciation.

(I don’t speak Japanese so the way I’m pronouncing this in my head could be wrong please correct me if it is I just noticed it and haven’t seen any other convincing explanations for why he’s a cat)

Edit to clarify: I should’ve explained how I’m pronouncing it in my head lmao. I didn’t think of it because it looks like it has the word ‘pur’ at the beginning but more cause of the tongue roll sound I’ve heard used for the combined L&R sound in Japanese, alongside the extra ‘Pu’ syllable at the beginning. I’m sure if you’re just saying it regularly it doesn’t sound like purr and pluto combined, but if you drag it out and put emphasis on the first half instead of the second like you would with a pun like ‘eggs-ellent’ it kinda does!
