Here we go. "The Grand Gooligog asks Fred about Storywalking. 'How do you choose a point in the story you wish to see?'" And? "Fred replied, 'You have to create a bookmark.' Fred discovered that by leaving a bookmark somewhere in the story, he could choose whatever chapter he wished to visit." We have to make a bookmark. Julie, that doesn't make any sense. I know what you're gonna say. This is a kid's book and it's crazy. That's 'cause it is.
What if humans are not space orcs but space dogs?
(for some reason this post got flagged as adult content and it cannot be appealed so I am reposting)
Imagine that this alien civilization visited Earth a long time ago when we were still very primitive and they just fell in love with the humans they found. They were so smart, adaptable, durable and best of all they could be easily trained and were fiercely loyal and affectionate . When they brought them back to the homeworld everybody went wild over the exotic alien pets. New expeditions to Earth were formed just to get more humans, it got to the point where any travel to Earth had to be strictly regulated because there was a real concern that humans might become an endangered species due to the high demand. And the demand was incredible. They would start breeding the humans making them more and more diverse in each shape and size. Within a few hundred years humans were everywhere. And due to how easily they were trained they weren’t just used as pets but they were also used in the police, fire brigades,military. They were everywhere
But while the discovery of humans was a huge success space exploration as whole wasn’t . Interstellar travel was incredibly expensive and nothing in space could justify it. There wasn’t a single sign of intelligent life and while they found a few more alien species on other planets they were rather gross and nobody took to them like they did with humans. Using space for resources also turned out to be a dud. It was much cheaper to just recycle rather then go through the incredibly expensive process of bringing resources from outer space. Colonization also turned out to be a failure. Every space colony would start with great enthusiasm but would collapse withing a few decades at most.Even the cults and the crazy rich people couldn’t last living on empty planets and trying to build civilization from scratch. Especially when their children grew up and would discover that there are much better alternatives out there So slowly but surely interstellar exploration would be abandoned. Space activities would be limited to the homeworld solar system where sublight travel was still cost effective. The goverment would maintain a small fleet with FTL drives to deal with any possible danger like asteroids before they could endanger the planet but that was it. Oh sure occasionally some rich eccentric would try to revive the interstellar expeditions of old but they would never find anything and it would usually bankrupt them. And then one day the Captain of one of the few active FTL ships who is out there changing the trajectory of a meteor heading for their solar system suddenly detects a spaceships near them. At first they think this must be one of the rich assholes messing with them by sending garbled messages but when they are close enough for visual inspection…holy shit. It’s a real alien spaceship. Actual intelligent alien life. They spend hours exchanging transmissions and slowly decoding each other’s languages until they have a viable translation program. This provides enough time for an Ambassador and an entire media team to be sent to stream the first contact live across the entire home system. And then first contact comes and eighty billion people completely lose their shit when they see that the first intelligent life form they meet….are humans. Freaking talking humans riding in spaceships The Ambassador who has three humans at home who would still occasionally shit on the carpet and never miss a chance to hump his tentacles can feel his headache coming on
Because I'm a biologist and a complete freak, I sometimes amuse myself thinking about like a super ultra advanced alien race that 'conquers' our planet, but instead of being all 'War of the Worlds' about it, they aren't even conquering, as far as they're concerned. There are no inteligent life forms on this planet, after all, just little animals, and they're clearly on the endangered species list. A perfect place to study rare wildlife on an untouched planet.
So there's an alien research station in space. Humanity's worst attempts to destroy it amount to a bear turning over the trash can. Aliens occasionally abduct people and return them with a clean bill of health and an ankle bracelet. It takes them forever to figure out those bracelets are screwing with their data because humans who carry them are curve-wreckingly popular.
Disaster strikes somewhere, I dunno, Japan, and there's an uptick in abductions, but of people stuck in collapsed buildings, and yeah the giant octopus tree that looks straight out of Call of Cthulhu is scary but it's also using tech you can't even comprehend to find survivors and teleport them out of the rubble. You see humans with absolutely 100% deadly injuries wisked away and a good number of them even return. There is now a new consent form specifying if rescuers can take you to the aliens, because they will probably try to save you but if they can't your family will never get your body back. You decide if your life or your body is more important.
Little by little, pragmatism wins out. The aliens aren't attacking, but they ARE abducting and doing weird tests. But the survivors mostly return unharmed with a Big Mac in hand and a weird piece of tech. There have been less valid excuses to miss school. The aliens are clearly researching humanity just as much as we are researching them, and until communications are established this status quo isn't the worst.
Ofc, then one of them actually attacks. Knocks the statue of liberty clean off. The military starts to deploy fast, and even wounds the attacker a lot, but before they can shoot the second missle it bounces. And it turns on the shooter. Every military person in the attack dies, suddenly and through means you cannot comprehend. The other aliens whisk the attacking one away. Construction materials appear as if in apology, but that's it.
The attacker was a hooligan who thought destroying wildlife was fun, and ran into something they can't handle. But even if the bear is perfectly within its rights to defend its territory, the ranger will atill have to shoot it to save the stupid brat, and hope the idiot learned their lesson.
But the bear is still dead. And the forest critters who had just started getting used to the ranger are now having second thoughts.
But the abductions continue. There are no hooligans for a while. And what else can you do? This is your home, but if the invaders really want to take it, what can you do?
So you try to stay out of their way, if you are in some serious trouble and your chances are already less than 50/50, maybe you seek them out. Sometimes they help. Sometimes they don't.
And sometimes the abductees catch glimpses of something that looks like it might have been human once, but eyes and skin all wrong, speaking incomprehensibly, and rubbing its head on the alien's 'knees'.
You go home to your dog and try not to think about it.
THE REVIEWS ARE IN!
And now let me bliw your mind: Alien equivalent of Steve Irwin, the one madman brave enough to go bother human wildlife in Australia.
lmao I actually made a post about this years ago . Great minds think alike

Six flags commercial from 2004 you most likely forgot about.
Nobody who has seen this has ever forgotten about it.
Steadfast in their devotion to the treasured cultural keystone of their community, the roughly 743.5 million residents of Europe gathered Friday to announce that there’s nothing anyone can do to make them stop loving Michael Jackson. “You may try to break down our resolve with accusations that he engaged in inappropriate sexual behaviors, but our love of Michael Jackson, Le Roi de la Pop, remains unwavering,” said European representative Stefan Barbeaux, making clear their commitment to the late pop music superstar regardless of any and all improprieties and scandals associated with the singer including but not limited to credible accusations of child sexual abuse.

Every time I see news coverage of a protest I remember this image of a single overturned trashcan in front of The Washington Post building
the thrilling sequel
My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.
Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??
Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??
Legolas please gain a sense of urgency
It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.
gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"
"I wonder what aragorn is listening for? must be hard to hear, what with all of the horses. How many horses are there, actually? 1... 2... 3..."
"What do your elvish eyes see?" is Aragorn saying, as politely as possible, "Because the REST OF US are at a significant disadvantage, Prince Dipshit."
