I’ve talked before about how odd it is that Normie doesn’t know what cheese or tomatoes are. It might mean that – other than humans – Normie’s world has completely different plant and animal life compared to Earth.
If that’s true, it makes humans so much weirder. How are humans human if nothing else is the same?
Normie’s world is partly inspired by D&D. In the world of D&D, as written, humans are the only sapient species that no god claims to be the creator of. Dwarves, elves, giants etc. all have a god that made them. No one knows where humans come from.
This could mean one of two things-
1. A god made humans but, for whatever reason, they don’t want to admit it
2. Even the gods don’t know where we’re from. We just turned up and the gods are like ‘how did these things get here!?’
We know that travel between our world and Normie’s world is possible.
What if all the humans who are native to Normie’s world are descended from people who came there from Earth?
A lot people who ended up there wouldn’t have survived. They wouldn’t have known what was safe to eat or what other things were dangerous. However, some of them would have gotten lucky and learned how to live there. Some of the lucky ones discovered and started to harness magic.
By now, enough generations have passed that the humans who live there assume it’s where they were always from.
As much as the last thing I would be fascinating from a historical standpoint in both worlds its also pretty funny to picture us as pests that appeared from the void and started fucking shit up
