Psychologically speaking.

So people have written about different types of mental illness and how aliens would react to them. Also how telepathic aliens who would be freaked out by how malicous and insane out thoughts can be, but we know better and choose not to act on them.

However I haven’t seen it discussed when those malicious thoughts turn against us. You know, when we deal with our inner demons. Or someone who is afraid of screwing up being the captain of the ship. They never show fear, but in their head their like.. ‘Dont blow it.. Don’t blow it… these people need you…’

Or someone who’s always kind and understanding to others. Always willing to give a second chance. Their always seen talking to crew members and encouraging them. But inside, they hate themselves, are constantly beating themselves up, or just hating themselves inside.

Like the ones who’ve been hurt the most are the wisest. The sadest smile brightest, and lonliest are the kindness.

How would telepathic aliens react to this difference between thought process and actions?

I feel like an asshole for loving her.

I feel like an asshole for giving a shit.

I feel like an asshole for being afraid.

I feel like an asshole for my anxiety.

I feel like an asshole because I'm too much.

Over and over again, I am too much.

I am always too much.

And yet, simultaneously, I am never enough.

[madmagethistle]

to add to this “humans are weird” thing did you know that humans are the only species on earth with the ability to throw things with any significant degree of accuracy and force (apes can throw with about the force of a human ten year old, but cant lock their wrists well enough for accuracy)

and we just never really think about it bc its so easy and simple to us that pretty much all of our sports are based around the concept of throwing things accurately

so what if the concept of projectile weapons takes most species FOREVER to get the hang of, or even come up with in the first place. a human goes onto a ship and throws some trash into the nearest reclaimer, shouts “kobe!” and all the other aliens on board absolutely LOSE THEIR MINDS

[man-hating-les]

It really angers me that the very person who LAUGHED IN MY FACE upon learning that my biggest dream was to have a child subsequently fell pregnant, and now is bitching about her daughter peeing on her. I would give anything to have a child, and all the good, bad, and ugly that comes with it. Your baby isn't an accessory. You are a shitty human being.

Hi! One of my POV characters is a pirate captain in a medieval fantasy setting, but I don't know anything about ships or sailing! I want the voice and descriptions to be convincing without being gimmicky, but I don't even know where to start. Do you have any tips/resources or even fiction recs, maybe? Thank you, and sorry if this has been asked before!!

Hiya! Thanksfor your question! Historical research is important if you want your story tobe accurate.
