#Could a human love a duck like roz? Even if they’re a bit feral from trauma?

[stubz]

I watched the wild robot and nearly cried. I never thought I’d connect so much with a freaking duck but I did and I spent the whole movie yelling at the screen that I’d eat every single animal that was mean to him. It got real intense when we met the flock…

I really thought tho that the main conflict was gonna be a human. I thought a human was gonna wash up on the island and create this tear between Roz’s found family and her original purpose which is to help HUMANS.

and I am all for that for some fic or something. Cause like imagine nearly dying at sea, getting washed ashore to this island with no civilization in sight and you probably have zero tools or knowledge to help you survive. You spend days or weeks barely getting by, your dehydrated, starved, afraid, and thinking this is how you die when all of a sudden a goddamn robot comes in following a duck and a fox.

your saved. The rozzum takes you to a shelter it built, patches you up, feeds you and for the first time in weeks you sleep knowing you’re safe. You are going home. It will send out a retrieval signal and you’ll both be picked up and—but wait. It says not yet. It still has to complete its first task. It has to teach a duck how to fly…oh, scratch that, it has to teach its son to fly…

and no matter how much you try it won’t disregard its first task. It says no! To you! A rozzum says no to a human!! Its priority is the the damn duck…the duck is more important than you. More important than you getting off the island. More important than you going home, to your family and friends—who think you’re dead now because of the storm that wrecked your ship and killed everyone else!! That left you alone and scared for weeks in the ocean and wilderness!!

…you just wanna go home. That duck, brightbill, better learn fast or else it won’t be the winter that gets him.
